Asuka will receive a new championship belt on June 9.
Asuka won the WWE Raw Women's Championship from Bianca Belair at WWE Night of Champions 2023. However, ever since the 2023 WWE draft, the WWE Raw and WWE SmackDown Women's Championships have been on opposite brands, with Rhea Ripley holding the WWE SmackDown Women's Title over on Monday Night Raw.
WWE has now announced that Asuka will receive a new WWE Women's Championship belt on the June 9 episode of SmackDown. It is not specified whether or not the championship belts will receive a name change.
Tonight on SmackDown, Raw Women’s Champion Asuka will have a WWE Women’s Championship Presentation.
The WWE Universe will be waiting with bated breath to see how Asuka reacts and what the new design will look like.
Find out tonight on SmackDown at 8/7 C on FOX!
