#2. Hope is true: Update on Asuka's and Bayley's return to WWE
Asuka and Bayley are two big names missing from the WWE women's division currently. Both were integral parts of their brand and are multi-time champions. They are also among the most accomplished women in the company's history.
There's no doubt that with all the releases that have happened since 2020, the women's division has been gutted a bit. Asuka and Bayley were two names that the company relied on during the pandemic era, and they both delivered with flying colors.
There is a positive update on the return of both former champions. According to PWInsider, both women are expected back sooner rather than later. Sportskeeda's Thomas Crack wrote:
"According to PWInsider, it has been reported that the return of two of WWE's biggest stars may be sooner rather than later. Firstly, Asuka, who suffered from a shoulder injury, is possibly going to return at the end of the month, although there is no exact date for when the former NXT Women's Champion will make her return. With regards to Bayley, there is a bit more clarity when it comes to her comeback, with the former SmackDown Women's Champion suffering an ACL tear last year, and her return is expected to take place at the end of March."
We hope this is true because both women would be back on time for WrestleMania 38. However, in Bayley's case, it might mean a return post-WrestleMania and not at or before the event.
That's a shame because she didn't have a match at WrestleMania 37 despite being one of the three women to carry the division between 2020 and early 2021.
