The 2023 women’s Royal Rumble match exceeded fan expectations by delivering several cool moments. It also saw Asuka making her return but with an interesting character change. “The Empress of Tomorrow” shocked everyone by making her come back as Kana. It’s a character with which she used to wrestle before joining WWE. Since then, Asuka has been booked strong and in fact, will be featured in the 2023 women’s Elimination Chamber match.
This year, Asuka, Liv Morgan, Nikki Cross, Raquel Rodriguez, Natalya, and Carmella will enter the destructive elimination chamber. All six women will fight to decide the No.1 Contender for the RAW Women’s Championship. The winner will then go on to face Bianca Belair at this year’s Showcase of Immortals.

The Empress of Tomorrow defeated the returning star Chelsea Green on the recent RAW episode
Among many other surprises, the 2023 Royal Rumble also saw Chelsea Green making her return to WWE. However, her arrival didn’t go well as she got eliminated in the shortest time ever in the Women’s Royal Rumble history.
In fact, her bad luck even continued on the recent episode of Monday Night RAW. Aiming to right her Royal Rumble wrong, Chelsea demanded a match from Adam Pearce but was booked against Asuka. In the first singles match after her return, she ended up getting squashed by The Empress of Tomorrow.
