A recent episode of WWE RAW, which aired after Clash in Paris 2025, featured a notable match in which a former champion tapped out to a veteran superstar—a result that many viewers considered a significant upset.
Backstage on RAW, IYO SKY and The Kabuki Warriors—Kairi Sane and Asuka—appeared to resolve their differences. SKY assured the group, especially Asuka, that she had put her feud with Rhea Ripley behind her. Asuka, known as The Empress of Tomorrow, seemed to accept the reassurance, stating that the issue with The Judgment Day would be addressed.
The Kabuki Warriors then faced former Women’s Tag Team Champions Raquel Rodriguez and Roxanne Perez. Kairi Sane eliminated Rodriguez with a high‑flying elbow, while Asuka used her experience to dominate Perez, ultimately winning the match via submission.
Although some may argue that Asuka’s veteran status contributed to the victory, Perez has been performing well since joining the main roster earlier this year, even holding the NXT Women’s Championship. Her recent success suggests that Asuka could soon find herself in a title picture again.
As one of the most decorated female wrestlers in WWE history, Asuka’s win positions The Kabuki Warriors as potential contenders for a Women’s Tag Team Title shot. However, tension between Asuka and IYO SKY may still linger; backstage, Asuka taunted SKY about her upcoming Women’s World Title match against Stephanie Vaquer at WWE WrestlePalooza.
These developments have significant implications for the WWE women’s division. Asuka’s victory and the Warriors’ potential title opportunity set the stage for future matches and storylines that will likely unfold over the coming weeks on RAW.
