Never really been super huge on her but she is certainly welcome back.

Can only hope this run goes way better than her last, but Nia Jax isn't there so it may be a given
Hope this is a good run cause she's been killing it in Japan

Awesome stuff. Just a shame they're not running WrestleMania in Tampa again any time soon. COVID wrecked her chance at entering in the pirate ship and she was gone before the do-over show.

She has to be babyface if she indeed is back,she is so natural as one,theres to many heels in both main divisions and with Iyo and Asuka as potential opponents to fight with, it would be awesome to have her feud with both of them. I still feel sad and bummed with how this company treated Sarray though so i have little faith theyll do her right.

As a fan, that's a bummer, would much rather see her keep turning up at big STARDOM cards.
But for her, hopefully she got paid and gets some good out of this.
So it goes.

Glad to see her back, assuming her booking goes better this time. I do hope a Triple Threat match between her, Asuka, and Iyo happens as well.

Press conference tomorrow. Likely announcing she's signed with WWE again.

H promoted her pretty hard in nXt though…so I’m kinda excited about it a little. Not sure how Rossy let her get away again though. Her title run lasted like a month and she spent most of her NXT run being outclassed by Baszler. She didn’t exactly have a rocket strapped to her back. You don’t need a rocket strapped to your back to be used well. I thought she was always used well in NXT, and even on the main roster she wasn’t there terribly long to think they weren’t going to do anything with her.

I keep forgetting she had the title in between Shayna's reigns and that Shayna didn't just have one long ass reign.

She just showed up in All Japan lol. She’s gonna have quite the goodbye tour if you count Sareeeism, whatever her Sendai Girls match is, and this.

Good to see her back. Hoping HHH does right by her and we get rivalries with Iyo & Asuka. We will see.

Dave mentioned on WOR that money was one of the motivating factors here. Not from WWE, mind you. But Bushiroad Wrestling apparently wasn't willing to shell out the cash to continue to push her as an international star, especially since they have Mercedes now (who they view as a much bigger star which isn't wrong, but also she's injured so uhhhh yeah). He mentioned that the NJPW side of things isn't exactly loaded with cash right now, and mentioned that the G1 this year has had poorer than usual profits. He doesn't believe she'll be returning to TV imminently like PWInsider does, but does think she'll be back in the company by November. If you believe what he says, and combine it with what KAIRI has mentioned about WWE, it's not really shocking she's heading back. She had mentioned that Vince and Nick made great efforts to try and get her to stay the first time around, including a contract raise and all that. And Vince had pulled her aside on her last day in WWE and said that if she ever wanted to come back, to give them a call, they would be more than happy to bring her back into the fold.

Why? This seems like a step backwards for her.

The dollar is also a lot stronger against the yen. I'm sure that's part of why the likes of Jay White and Aussie Open ended up in aew and a lot more Japanese wrestlers are doing indy shows in America.
