Oh No: Asuka Injured, Unsure For WrestleMania

Maybe it isn’t that bad. Injuries can be one of the worst things to see in wrestling as they can derail any and all plans in the blink of an eye. There are ways to protect wrestlers from them but there is no way to guarantee complete safety. Someone is just going to get hurt every now and then and unfortunately that seems to be the case at the most important time of the year.

We are less than a month away from WrestleMania 37 and that means the card is really starting to take shape. Some of the matches have already been set and that is one of the things that can help WrestleMania more than anything. At the same time though, there are a lot of things that still need to be done and one of them cannot be set at the moment due to an injury.

According to the Wrestling Observer Newsletter, Raw Women’s Champion Asuka is currently out of action with a concussion, meaning her status for WrestleMania is unclear. Asuka was injured on the February 22 edition of Monday Night Raw when Shayna Baszler kicked her in the head. Charlotte has since challenged Asuka for WrestleMania but has not received an answer. It is not clear what will happen if Asuka cannot compete.

A healthy Asuka can be quite the star. Check out what she can do at her best:

Asuka vs. Alexa Bliss – Raw Women’s Championship Match: Raw, Jan. 25, 2021

Charlotte Flair & Asuka vs. Lacey Evans & Peyton Royce: Raw, Feb. 15, 2021

Asuka crashes Women’s Triple Brand Battle Royal: SmackDown, August 14, 2020

Opinion: This is one of those situations where we will have to wait and see, as a concussion can clear up practically overnight or it could take a long time. WrestleMania is absolutely no guarantee for Asuka and that could have major implications for a lot of the Monday Night Raw women’s division. What matters most is Asuka’s health though, as you never want to see someone injured.
