Asuka says she is currently using temporary teeth following her injury at the hands of Shayna Baszler.
Asuka is the WWE Raw Women's Champion and as such, she has a target on her back. At WrestleMania, she will face Rhea Ripley for the championship. Before Rhea Ripley made her challenge, Charlotte Flair was eyeing the Women's Championship match at WrestleMania.
However, along the Road to WrestleMania, Asuka lost some teeth courtesy of a stiff boot by Shayna Baszler. There were also reports that Asuka suffered a concussion following the spot.
During the contract signing with Rhea Ripley on Monday Night Raw, Asuka was hit in the face by a table courtesy of Rhea Ripley and during an appearance on Raw Talk, Asuka revealed that the shot with the table really hurt because she still has temporary teeth after having surgery just three days prior to Monday Night Raw.
