WWE Women’s Champion Nia Jax looks forward to seeing Asuka return.
Asuka has been out of action since WWE Backlash in May. She underwent knee surgery in June, and she has been on the road to recovery ever since.
Speaking on WWE Die Woche, Nia Jax was asked to name her toughest opponent, and she pointed to Asuka.
“One of my toughest opponents has been Asuka. She is through and through, she’s incredibly strong, and she’s incredibly explosive. She’s definitely a tough opponent. Love getting in the ring with her, love working with her. I can’t wait til she comes back. I hope we go head to head, but Asuka is one of my toughest.”
During the interview, Jax also highlighted the depth of WWE’s women’s division and noted that anyone could beat her on the right day.
“I consider everybody a threat on the women’s division because I have something that everybody wants, and you never know, on any given day, somebody could catch me slipping and take my title,” she said. “We have a stacked roster. Every single girl on our roster is incredibly talented and they bring so much to the table.”
As of this writing, there is no word on when Asuka will return to the ring. WrestleZone will provide more information as it becomes available.
