— A rumor was started on Facebook this weekend, suggesting that Asuka had walked out of WWE after Tuesday’s Smackdown Live due to discontent over her current position within the company and her absence from SummerSlam causing her to miss out on a significant payday. The report went on to state that Asuka wasn’t unhappy at losing recent matches, but was upset at how short the matches have been lately.
— Anyway all of this is false, Asuka is still very much with WWE. The report was attributed to Mike Johnson of pwinsider.com, but Johnson never reported anything like that and he was quick to refute this on Twitter:
I have not reported anything about @WWEAsuka leaving @WWE and any website or social media account that claims that I have, is lying to you. Stop supporting people that lie to you. Everything that I say and everything that I report is on @PWInsidercom.
