WWE Smackdown Women’s Champion Asuka suffered an injury scare at the live event in White Plans, New York on Monday night. During a match against Mandy Rose, an attempt at a face buster went awry when Asuka tried to counter it int a victory roll, resulting in Asuka landing awkwardly on her head and neck.

The match was then ruled a “no contest” due to Asuka suffering the injury, however, the Empress of Tomorrow later noted on Twitter that she appears to be okay after the concussion and/or neck injury scare.

Braun Strowman Shows ‘SNL’ Star WWE Is ‘Real’
Saturday Night Live stars and Weekend Update hosts Colin Jost and Michael Che made guest appearances on Raw this week, and during the show Jost made a big mistake when he said he is not afraid of anyone in WWE.
Jost was then confronted by Braun Strowman, and proceeded to comment on Strowman’s match loss, then asked The Monster Among Men if “any of this stuff is even real.” Strowman did not take too kindly to Jost’s words, and proceeded to rough him up a bit, then told Jost he would see him at WrestleMania. As noted, Jost and Che will be guest correspondents at WrestleMania 35 this year.
