WWE star Kairi Sane sends message to Asuka after she was spotted using crutches
WWE Superstar Kairi Sane has sent a message to her tag team partner Asuka on social media. One-half of The Kabuki Warriors is currently out of in-ring action due to an injury.
At Backlash 2024, Jade Cargill and Bianca Belair defeated Sane and The Empress of Tomorrow to become the new WWE Women's Tag Team Champions. Asuka was slated to compete in the Queen of the Ring tournament but was replaced by her Damage CTRL stablemate Dakota Kai.
Recently, the former SmackDown Women's Champion shared a video on social media wherein she was spotted walking with the help of crutches. A user on X (formerly Twitter) posted an illustrated picture of The Kabuki Warriors and sent well-wishes to the 42-year-old female star.
The Pirate Princess responded to this tweet and praised the illustration created by the fan. Kairi Sane also hoped to see her tag partner recover as soon as possible. The 35-year-old wrote:
"Awesome ‼ ︎Thank you for the wonderful illustrations ✨✨ I sincerely hope that my beloved Asuka-san will recover as soon as possible. 🍀"

A female WWE star names Asuka as her dream opponent
NXT star Lola Vice picked The Empress of Tomorrow as her dream adversary. The former MMA fighter also revealed a few other names she would like to square off with down the line.
During an interview with TV Insider, Lola Vice shared that she wants to face Asuka, Rhea Ripley, Tiffany Stratton, Liv Morgan, and the current WWE Women's Tag Team Champions Jade Cargill and Bianca Belair in a singles match. The 25-year-old star also mentioned that she is a fan of The Empress of Tomorrow's in-ring style and hopes to collide with her in a dream match.
"I would love to face a Tiffany Stratton. She was in NXT with me, but I never got the chance to fight against her. Liv Morgan, Rhea Ripley, Jade Cargill, and Bianca Belair are just a few. Asuka would be a dream match for me. I love her style."
At NXT Battleground 2024 in Las Vegas, Vice knocked out Shayna Baszler in a brutal Underground match. Fans will have to wait for The Empress of Tomorrow's WWE return from injury to potentially see a dream match between her and the former MMA fighter down the line.
