Asuka has posted a video to her KanaChanTV YouTube channel addressing speculation about her WWE future following her Backlash match two weeks ago. 

She confirmed she is still with WWE but strongly implied her full-time in-ring career is winding down.

On the speculation: "There's a lot of speculation going around: that you won't be able to see Asuka's matches anymore, that she's going back to Japan, that she's leaving WWE. The truth is, there are some personal circumstances, and I have consulted with WWE about them."

She said she is still physically capable: "As you can see from watching my matches, I can still perform. I can still move."

She then acknowledged the finite nature of her run: "I've been here for over 10 years, and it always felt natural, for me and for all of you too. It felt like it was just a given that I was there. But that's not something that lasts forever. It's finite."

On future appearances: "Going forward, someone who debuts with the same level of impact as me, who accomplishes as much as I have and climbs to the top the way I did, may not come along again. So if you do have the chance to see me, I think it will be something precious."

She did not announce a retirement. She committed to posting more YouTube content going forward. No official update from WWE on her status.
