I wouldn't hold your breath on that front. She likely chose the name because WWE almost certainly owns the trademarks and rights to the character Asuka. And just like Xavier Woods, she probably chose to brand the channel under her former alias in order to keep it out of the hands of WWE, so if she ever does leave in the future, she doesn't need to rebrand.

And she isn't the first person, and likely won't be the last person to do that either. I know Xavier is the most high profile example of using WWE's image to elevate their own brand. But there's also Mandy (DaMandyz Donuts), Tyler Breeze/Baron Corbin/Shawn Spears(fka Tye Dillenger) who used it to launch [TheSweetz100], and a couple of others who have used WWE's branding image to elevate their own.

Ninja Warrior's a competition every what, six months at most? A back problem goes a lot less well with working matches three days a week for fifty weeks a year.

sounds like Asuka loving gave up that WWE would ever use her correctly again and is taking steps to just do other poo poo.

It always made me laugh when AJ Styles said he was a major game geek but whenever he played against Xavier or Asuka in street fighter or literally anything, he got exposed as being loving terrible at videogames. Him complaining loudly when Xavier hosed him up at SFV was amazing

Xavier. He was a guest on the Super Best Friendcast like 2 years ago or so and you could tell they wanted to rip into him about it way harder than they actually did when the topic came up because all of them have pretty strong (primarily negative) feelings about Cage and his games.

For now. It would be completely in WWE's wheelhouse to turn it into a title match sometime during the show. Especially with rumors that there will be a women's tag title defense during CoC as well, and there are literally no teams left for Alexa/Nikki to face.

With the Power of the Titles either Becky or Bayley can demand it to be made for the titles. However, Alexa and Nikki also have titles, so ultimately everyone should lose their titles as it cancels out
