NXT Women’s Champion Asuka suffers injury at TakeOver: Brooklyn III

NXT Women’s Champion Asuka broke her right collarbone during her successful title defense against Ember Moon Saturday at NXT TakeOver: Brooklyn III, WWE.com has learned.

Due to the injury, The Empress of Tomorrow is not medically cleared to compete, and no official timetable has been given for her return. The typical recovery time for a broken collarbone is 6-8 weeks, according to ringside physician Dr. Jeffrey Westerfield, who tended to Asuka in Brooklyn.

“During the match, she landed awkwardly from a throw from Ember Moon and was able to complete the match, but had notable pain and discomfort,” Dr. Westerfield said. “We performed an initial ultrasound backstage that was highly suspicious of a break that was later confirmed by an X-ray.”

News of the injury comes as Asuka approaches the 507-day mark of her historic NXT Women’s Title reign. She has yet to be defeated in NXT since debuting in October 2015.​

Chick is tough.

No wonder Alberto gave Sin Cara that work after he dislocated his finger during the match then tried to bail

Yeah this scenario actually works. Sets up the MYC final to potentially for NXT title too.

First thing that came to mind was a work.

6-8 weeks No reason to strip her ...of the title, of course.
