On a recent edition of his Wrestling With Freddie podcast, host and former WWE creative team member Freddie Prinze Jr. speculated on the future of Asuka.
Asuka’s frequent hints at a new direction for herself prompted Prinze to predict a possible hiatus for the former RAW/SmackDown/NXT Women’s Champion.
You can check out some highlights from the podcast below:
On what he thinks Asuka is planning for the immediate future: “She’s going to take a little break, I think, from wrestling.”
On the potential for an eventual character change for Asuka: “She wrestled Rhea Ripley with no makeup on, which made you think that Asuka is gone and when she comes back it’s going to be a more old-school version of Asuka and maybe she’ll even change her name? Which, I think after a break and the equity she has, she could get away with. Rhea Ripley won to send Asuka on her way but she tweeted out she’s going to be gone for a little while, so I don’t know if she’s going back to Japan, maybe she’s going to chill out and go on vacation and see the world.”
