Fightful post on Asuka:
>We've had a lot of people reach out about Asuka's status of late.
>In January, we noted that Asuka's name was brought up as a potential Royal Rumble entrant, only to be quickly shot down as she wasn't ready for a return. PWInsider had noted around that time that internally WWE was hopeful for a February return, but that creative had no immediate plans for her. However, the timetable that we were given was different than that.
>As of February, Asuka was still listed on internal WWE inactive lists, while wrestlers like Xavier Woods were removed from it, even though he still hasn't appeared on programming. One WWE source indicated that the optimistic return is "around Spring" for Asuka, and another said that no creative has been cooked up for her because she's not available as of yet.
>Top talent in the company tell us they'd not heard an update on Asuka in quite a while.
