Asuka “Fine” After Injury Scare

Asuka says she’s “fine” after an injury scare tonight at a SmackDown house show in White Plains, NY.

According to several reports from people in attendance, Asuka was wrestling Mandy Rose when Rose hit her finisher and Asuka reportedly landed badly on her head and neck.

Officials checked on Asuka and the match was abruptly stopped and Asuka had to be helped to the back, holding her neck.

Fortunately, she said on Twitter that she’s “fine” and “it’s neither a concussion nor a neck” injury.

It is neither a concussion nor a neck.

They called the match, Asuka walked out (thank god) holding her neck and head. #WWEWhitePlains pic.twitter.com/NNk2qcvCJS

It looked brutal. She is alert and they are all talking to her now.

It was her finisher and she just slammed her down on her head. It looked terrible. At least she was alert and walked off. Hope she’s ok 😭
