Report: Update On When Asuka & Tonga Loa Will Return To WWE
WWE is gradually approaching the expected return dates for several key Superstars.
Apr 1, 2025
The potential return dates of several WWE Superstars have been reported by PWNexus, who state:
"PWN has learned of some potential return dates for a few superstars coming back from injury. Asuka is set to return to Raw sometime in May, likely following Backlash. Tonga Loa will look rejoin Smackdown in June."
Asuka hasn't wrestled since Backlash 2024 in Lyon, France, where she and Kairi Sane lost the WWE Women's Tag Team Championships to Bianca Belair and Jade Cargill. Coincidentally, this is the same show at which Tonga Loa's current WWE run began.
Loa was injured in the Men's WarGames match at Survivor Series: WarGames 2024. He is presumed to still be part of Solo Sikoa's stable alongside Jacob Fatu and brother Tama Tonga.
Asuka joined WWE in 2015 and has collected a litany of accolades in the years since, including multiple world title reigns across all three brands and the unique achievement of winning the first-ever Women's Royal Rumble match.
Loa is a more recent addition to the WWE roster, making his surprise return to the company after being let go from NXT in 2014.
The PWNexus report also contains an update on the possible return date of Ilja Dragunov.
