Backstage Update on Tonga Loa, Ilja Dragunov and Asuka’s Return – WWE is preparing for several key returns in the coming months, with major updates on Tonga Loa, Ilja Dragunov, and Asuka.
Tonga Loa Expected to Return to WWE in June
The Bloodline may soon gain another active member, as Tonga Loa is expected to make his WWE return in the near future. Reports suggest that the former Gorillas of Destiny member will join Jacob Fatu and Solo Sikoa, potentially appearing on WWE SmackDown as early as June. This move would further solidify The Bloodline’s presence, with rumors hinting at a major storyline development for the faction.
Ilja Dragunov’s Injury Recovery Progress
Former NXT Champion Ilja Dragunov has been sidelined since suffering a torn ACL at a WWE live event in September 2024. While fans have been eagerly awaiting his return, sources indicate that The Mad Dragon will remain out of action for several more months. Dragunov is currently targeting September 2025 for his highly anticipated comeback, where he is expected to rejoin the RAW roster.
Asuka Set to Return to WWE RAW in May
The WWE women’s division will soon welcome back a former Women’s Champion, as Asuka is reportedly scheduled to return in May. She is expected to make her comeback following WWE Backlash: St. Louis on May 10, with plans for her to rejoin the RAW brand. Asuka has been absent from WWE television, and her return could shake up the title picture, especially as new challengers emerge in the women’s division.
As WWE continues to shape its roster heading into SummerSlam season, these upcoming returns will bring major developments to RAW and SmackDown.
