Absent WWE star teases major reunion with Asuka ahead of RAW

An absent WWE Superstar teased a potential reunion with Asuka ahead of tonight's edition of RAW. This week's episode of the red brand will air live from Bridgestone Arena in Nashville, Tennessee.

Kairi Sane was supposed to compete in the Women's Intercontinental Championship tournament last month but was taken out in a backstage attack by Pure Fusion Collective. Asuka has not been out of action with a knee injury since WWE Backlash 2024. Sane and The Empress of Tomorrow are a popular tag team known as The Kabuki Warriors, and the duo are former Women's Tag Team Champions.

Ahead of tonight's edition of RAW, Sane took to her Instagram story to share a fan's photo of The Kabuki Warriors in action figure form. The veteran may have been hinting at a potential reunion of the tag team, and you can check out Sane's post on Instagram below.

WWE Hall of Famer reacts to Asuka's situation

Wrestling legend Teddy Long recently commented on Asuka sharing worrying messages about feeling unsafe.

Speaking on Sportskeeda's The Wrestling Time Machine podcast, Long noted that the company could provide Asuka with extra security to make her feel safe. The former champion recently shared that she felt unsafe and complained about people making advances towards her.

"Well, if WWE is gonna work with her, they can provide her with security. I don't think that should stop her from working. If they need her on TV, she should be working. Just provide her with security," Long added. [From 5:00 onwards]

Bayley used to be the leader of Damage CTRL, but the faction betrayed her last year. The Role Model recently used the transfer window to move from SmackDown to RAW after failing to capture the WWE Women's Championship from Tiffany Stratton.

Bayley will be squaring off against Lyra Valkyria tonight in an Elimination Chamber qualifying match.
