Asuka reacts after betraying IYO SKY on RAW

WWE had been teasing a split between the Kabuki Warriors for a very long time. The split eventually happened on this week's RAW after Asuka and Kairi turned heel and attacked Rhea Ripley. When IYO came to make peace, they attacked her as well.

This left a lot of fans in shock. IYO was left covered in Asuka's mist along with Rhea. Following the events of Monday Night, The Empress of Tomorrow took to X to respond to a post made by WWE's Official account. The post claimed that Asuka was wrong for what she did on RAW. However, The former RAW Women's Champion said otherwise.

"Nah" she wrote.

It will be interesting to see what's next for the Kabuki Warriors following their heel turn.
