WWE star Natalya posted a respectful message praising Asuka after the former champion’s backstage segment on RAW, a development noted amid questions about Asuka’s WWE status. On WWE RAW this week, Asuka told Iyo Sky she had been searching for someone to carry her position forward in WWE, embraced Sky, and shared what many fans viewed as a possible farewell moment. At WWE Backlash days earlier, Iyo Sky defeated Asuka, and the pair hugged after the match as Asuka dropped her heel persona. Reports later suggested she could be considered semi-retired, though her exact WWE future remains unclear. Natalya also shared a backstage photo and thanks.
