As part of the ongoing tour in Japan, WWE held a live event in Osaka earlier today, and two more shows are scheduled for July 26 and 27.
Asuka, who is recovering from a knee injury sustained during a March episode of SmackDown, appeared on the Osaka show.
The Empress cut a promo in front of the live audience and was accompanied by her Damage CTRL stablemates.
While Asuka was spotted without crutches, there’s still no word on when she will return to in-ring action.
You can check out some images from Asuka’s surprise appearance below:
