By Mike Johnson on 2022-01-29 11:58:00

Since we have been asked numerous times this week about the following names, here are updates on their status with WWE:

*Asuka - We have not heard she is in St. Louis.  The belief is she will finally return from her shoulder injury next month.

*Bayley -  We have not heard she is in St. Louis.  The latest word making the rounds is that the company expects she will be cleared to return this March to return to performing in the ring from her ACL injury.

*Lacey Evans - Evans is not slated for the Royal Rumble but she has been seen working out at the WWE Performance Center in advance of a return to TV.  We have not confirmed a timeline on when that may be.
