Asuka is asking fans to not make any romantic or personal approaches toward her.
On Wednesday, the four-time world champion posted a series of messages to social media that imply she may have had an unfortunate encounter with a fan recently.
Asuka wrote:
“I absolutely reject any romantic or personal approaches toward me. There is absolutely no possibility for others to interfere in my private life.”
“Please don’t have romantic feelings for me. It’s meaningless—100% pointless.”
“I’ve been feeling in danger recently. I’ve already consulted the police. At this rate, even if fans approach me at the airport or in the city, I will feel the possibility that something might happen, and it will scare me, making me unable to respond.”
She has also added “I absolutely reject any private or romantic approaches toward me” to her bio on X.

Asuka has been out of action since May 2024. She had knee surgery in June but is expected back shortly. Fightful Select reported this week that creative pitches had been made for her return but ultimately a tag team angle fell through, possibly because most of Damage CTRL is out injured right now. Kairi Sane is out with an arm injury and Dakota Kai is in concussion protocol following a stiff-looking springboard dropkick she took from Zoey Stark last week. IYO Sky is the only member of the faction currently on the active roster.
Asuka, 43, signed with WWE in 2015. She agreed to a new long-term deal with the company in September, as per a report by PWInsider. Terms and lenth of the deal have not been disclosed.
