WWE revealed NXT Women’s Champion Asuka suffered an injury during her title defense at NXT TakeOver: Brooklyn III. Asuka reportedly broke her right collarbone during her match against Ember Moon. At this time, she is not medically cleared and a proper timetable for her return was not disclosed. According to WWE, the standard recovery time for a broken collarbone is six to eight weeks — that’s based on a ringside physician who assessed Asuka this weekend.

In a statement to WWE.com, Dr. Jeffrey Westerfield said,

“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. We performed an initial ultrasound backstage that was highly suspicious of a break that was later confirmed by an X-ray.”

The injury comes as Asuka’s undefeated streak continued and approached the 507-day mark as champion. WWE has yet to comment yet on the future of the NXT Women’s Championship.

It may be worth questioning if Asuka’s injury could work as a storyline for NXT. She has been their undefeated Women’s Champion for over 500 days and, with no viable challenger in sight, the injury could serve as a method to vacate the championship and move Asuka to the main roster.

WWE has announced that NXT Women’s Champion Asuka broke her right collarbone during her match against Ember Moon at Saturday’s NXT Takeover: Brooklyn III event. The recovery time for her injury is 6-8 weeks.

“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,” ringside physician Dr. Jeffrey Westerfield said. “We performed an initial ultrasound backstage that was highly suspicious of a break that was later confirmed by an X-ray.”

The next set of tapings take place this Thursday at Full Sail University. It’s possible that they will do something in storyline to explain her absence from television.

NXT Women’s Championship Match Announced

Following last night’s WWE NXT broadcast on the WWE Network, the second match for NXT TakerOver: Brooklyn III was officially confirmed. After Ember Moon defeated Lei’d Tapa, Moon challenged the longest-reigning NXT Women’s Champion, Asuka. Later in the show, NXT General Manager William Regal confirmed the match for TakeOver: Brooklyn III. Asuka did not appear on the July 27th NXT broadcast, but she is set to reappear next Wednesday.

Moon and Asuka previously battled in a one-on-one match at TakeOver: Orlando, where Asuka dodged Moon’s Eclipse finishing move by shoving the referee.

The NXT Women’s Championship match is the second match confirmation for the third-consecutive TakeOver in Brooklyn special. The first match confirmation was NXT Champion Bobby Roode vs. Drew McIntyre.

NXT TakeOver: Brooklyn III will air live on Saturday, August 19, from the Barclays Center, and it will broadcast exclusively on the WWE Network.

Another “Shakeup?”

In less than a year, we have seen two occasions where WWE superstars moved back and forth between RAW and SmackDown Live brands – the WWE draft last summer and the “Superstar Shakeup” this past April. According to the latest Wrestling Observer Newsletter, there are talks of another “Superstar Shakeup” after SummerSlam.

The latest “Shakeup” saw the United States Championship and Intercontinental Championship swap brands, RAW gaining names such as The Miz and Maryse, Dean Ambrose, Alexa Bliss, and Mickie James, while SmackDown Live attracted Charlotte Flair, Kevin Owens, and Sami Zayn.

WWE aired footage during tonight’s NXT Takeover pre-show of Ember Moon talking about her injury and revealed that she will miss up to six months of in-ring action on NXT. She mentioned that she is thankful that the injury wasn’t more serious or even fatal.

Ember indicated that she would be going after the NXT Women’s Championship once she returns.
