>per Dave Meltzer via WON:
"It seems that the segment on smackdown between Iyo and Asuka did not go down well with the Japanese wwe fans and more particularly, fans of stardom. In Japanese tradition, it is considered great dishonor or "Hurakiri" to even touch the championship of your opponent , let alone parade it around like Iyo did. Initial reports confirmed that Iyo was very upset over the incident. Asuka, a well known veteran from Stardom faced a lot of heat on twitter. One tweet from Joshiko Hanawa of stardom reads "That is total disrespect. Asuka must be fined by stardom"
It seems that people now expecting WWE to apologize to Japanese pro wrestling fans for the outrage caused. They warned that this might lead to Asuka getting targeted by the Yakuza for the former's actions on an episode of smackdown
