WWE fans have reacted to a viral video of a superstar being hounded by wrestling fans at an airport.
It has been an eventful week for former WWE Women's Champion Asuka, after the veteran shocked the wrestling world during the main event of last week's episode of SmackDown. She teamed with Charlotte Flair and Bianca Belair to battle Damage CTRL in a 6-woman tag team match.
The Empress of Tomorrow has had her issues with Damage CTRL in the past but made a shocking decision this past Friday night. She betrayed Belair and Flair and decided to join the heel faction. The group has now added Asuka and Kairi Sane in recent weeks.

Bill Apter praises Asuka's personality in WWE
Legendary wrestling journalist Bill Apter recently complimented Asuka for her promo work and stated that the veteran was a unique performer.
The 42-year-old spent several years on the independent wrestling scene before signing with the promotion in 2015. She has had a tremendous amount of success on the main roster but is still winless at WrestleMania. The former champion is 0-5 at the biggest show of the year and lost to Bianca Belair at WrestleMania 39 in Los Angeles.
Speaking on Sportskeeda's The Wrestling Time Machine show, Bill Apter praised the former women's champion for her personality. Apter added that a fan doesn't have to understand her to enjoy her performance on WWE television.
"I think she's an incredible personality. She's an excellent worker in the ring, of course. But she brings that ferocity and that very unusual personality, and you don't have to understand what she's saying to enjoy what she's doing," said Bill Apter. [9:35 - 9:50]
