During a question and answers session in Sportskeeda Wrestlebinge, Wrestlevotes was asked about the State and Asuka's recovery time. The update it provided was brief but clear.
“Asuka… Within the company they have hopes to return by the end of the year. They loved her for Wrestlemania 41; Obviously, it could not be, since it had no medical authorization at that time. She is still working on her recovery. So they have hopes“
Asuka has been away from the quadrilaterals since May 2024 due to a serious knee injury that ended up requiring surgery. Although he had been discouraged for several weeks, the injury worsened during WWE's European tour and had his critical point was in the PLE Backlash in Lyon, France, where, together with Kairi Sane, he lost the women's championship in couples against Bianca Belair and Jade Cargill.
