Asuka is back on WWE TV and looks like she’s good to compete, but her teeth won’t completely heal for several more months.
Asuka used NowVoice, a Japanese social networking app, to comment on her injury and said (via Wrestling Inc) that her teeth won’t completely heal for six months. She did not go into detail about the exact injuries she suffered, but did say she’s wearing temporary teeth now. Once her mouth completely heals in approximately six months, she will replace the temporary teeth with implants. It’s worth noting that she did not comment on any other injuries, including the reported concussion she suffered as a result of taking a kick from Shayna Baszler on RAW a few weeks back.

According to a report from F4WOnline.com, Asuka suffered a concussion on the February 22 episode of WWE RAW when she was kicked in the head by Baszler. At the time, it was known that Asuka’s tooth was knocked out as a result of the kick but no other injuries were reported until last Friday.
Asuka is the current WWE RAW Women’s Champion, but she doesn’t have a confirmed match at WrestleMania as of now. Multiple wrestlers, including Charlotte and Peyton Royce, have called out the champion in recent weeks, but WWE has not announced any plans for her title on television yet.
