Originally published at Sukeban announces signing of Sareee to multi-year deal
Sareee has signed a multi-year contract with upstart promotion Sukeban and is set to debut next month.
Sareee (Sari Fujimura) began her career in 2011 wrestling for World Woman Pro-Wrestling Diana and won the group’s world championship in 2018 and 2019.
In 2020, she signed with WWE but did not debut until the following year due to the pandemic. Under the name ‘Sarray’, she wrestled in NXT through August 2022 and returned to Japan this past May.
Since returning, Sareee has wrestled primarily for Sendai Girls and SEAdLINNNG.
In Sukeban, Sareee will be part of the Cherry Bomb Girls stable and will take part in a four-way match against Countess Saori, Atomic Banshee, and Babyface in Miami next month.
The December card will also feature a World Championship Match between Ichigo Sayaka and Commander Nakajima.
