Asuka tweets photo of her X-ray, promises "I'll be back"
The price of victory can be steep, but NXT Women’s Champion Asuka doesn’t seem to mind paying the piper, as long as she remains undefeated.
Shortly after it was announced that The Empress of Tomorrow broke her right collarbone during her title defense against Ember Moon Saturday at TakeOver: Brooklyn III, Asuka took to Twitter to make a few things clear.
Likening herself to Arnold Schwarzenegger’s Terminator, Asuka first revealed that she’s already focused on returning from the setback:
"like the Terminator, I'll be back" #Undefeated #TheStreak

Asuka then tweeted a photo of the X-ray of her injury. The words “Victory bone!” are scrawled across the bottom of the scan, and in her post, Asuka indicated that protecting her undefeated streak was well worth the injury she suffered:
A victory in exchange for bone 🤡

I have decided to see it through no matter what the cost... Because I'm a super star. #toKeepLaughing #WWE pic.twitter.com/sNDXcivgZL
Injured or not, it’s safe to say that Asuka feels pretty good about the outcome from Saturday.
