A popular WWE star is back in action in time for WrestleMania.

On March 23rd, Asuka returned to the ring for the first time in two weeks. While the statistic doesn’t seem all that noteworthy on the surface, there had been fears the star could miss WrestleMania after suffering a leg injury.

On the March 15th episode of SmackDown, Asuka, and Damage CRTL interfered in the main event between Dakota Kai and Bayley. However, during the run-in, fans were quick to notice Asuka was limping and she was pulled from a run of live events as a precaution.

Thankfully it seems the issue isn’t serious after the star teamed with IYO SKY and Kairi Sane in defeat to Becky Lynch, Bianca Belair, and Naomi at an event in Springfield, Illinois.

In less good news, it was recently reported that Raquel Rodriguez has been removed from the active roster. There is no word on when she’ll be back in action.

Despite fears that he could miss WrestleMania, Seth Rollins has won his own fitness battle, overcoming a knee injury in time to compete twice at the spectacular.

Famous Asuka Winning Streak Upset WWE Hall Of Famer

Despite being out injured, Asuka’s WWE winning streak was back in the news after upsetting Goldberg.

During a recent interview, Goldberg hit out at WWE for having “some Japanese girl” beat his own undefeated streak and claimed his legacy had been damaged because he doesn’t have a good relationship with Triple H.

Back in December, Goldberg claimed he was screwed out of a retirement match by Vince McMahon.
