WWE Raw Women's Champion Asuka is nowhere to be found on WWE's latest WrestleMania 37 poster.

The image above was released over the weekend. Asuka's SmackDown counterpart Sasha Banks sits near the middle, along with Bobby Lashley and Roman Reigns, WWE's top male singles champions.

Rapper Bad Bunny (linked with a WrestleMania role opposite The Miz and John Morrison), Bianca Belair, Edge, and Drew McIntyre are also present and correct, as is Charlotte Flair, who has set her sights on Asuka's Raw Women's Title in recent weeks.

Dave Meltzer wrote in last week's Wrestling Observer Newsletter that Asuka's WrestleMania 37 status is currently up in the air as a result of a concussion suffered when Shayna Baszler accidentally stiffed her with a kick on Raw's 22 February episode. WWE is yet to release a formal update on her status.

Concussions are tricky, with their recovery time extremely variable. As Meltzer noted in his report, Asuka could be cleared imminently, or she could be out for a longer period of time.

Asuka has held the Raw Women's Title for over 200 days, having regained it from Banks at SummerSlam 2020. Her last defence was a no-contest with Alexa Bliss on Raw's 25 January episode.
