— As noted, WWE announced on Monday afternoon that NXT Women’s Champion Asuka broke her right collarbone during her match with Ember Moon at this past Saturday at NXT TakeOver: Brooklyn III special. Typically, the recovery time for the injury is 6-8 weeks. As of this writing, there has been no timetable given for Asuka’s return. The next set of NXT tapings takes place this Thursday at Full Sail University, so it will be interesting to see if she appears then. She tweeted out the following:
A victory in exchange for bone 🤡
I have decided to see it through no matter what the cost… Because I'm a super star. #toKeepLaughing #WWE pic.twitter.com/sNDXcivgZL— ASUKA / 明日華 (@WWEAsuka) August 22, 2017
