Warrior of the sun to return? (EDIT: No)

I always felt bad she came in right at the 2.0 era and got fed to Mandy. She seemed to be the next Joshi to get the superpush after Kairi and Io and Asuka.

H back in charge, and NXT back to normal, hopefully she better a better shot.

[AwamoriRock]

She’s on another woty run right now immediately after leaving and maybe the best going today for my money, so I’d prefer not, but could see it.

What makes me a bit skeptical, at least of it is she was booked just yesterday for a show in February just yesterday, seems to be getting a hefty title run, and was reported a couple weeks ago to be deep in talks with an American company that isn’t WWE (likely Sukeban since the manager recently visited Japan and Sead). That could all change quickly of course but SRS’s comment seemed much lighter.

I will just say the IF she is gonna give it a 2nd shot then this is the best chance for her.

She will have multiple Joshi who have been through the grind in the company and can guide her to really aclimate her to a western audience...the only thing she really lacked in comparison to them is she has always felt a bit...frumpy like she is an outstanding wrestler but doesn't have the aura the others do about themselves but being around them on basically a constant basis should bring that out.

Io struggled in the same way she was just being her STARDOM persona when she first arrived but realized the difference in the western and japanese audience and that realization came with the heel turn in NXT and the rest has been history.

Sareee got caught up in so much turbulence out of her control, between the pandemic and the wholesale changes to NXT’s presentation that rendered it a completely different thing to what she initially signed to. If she’s not averse to giving it another go now things are a bit more stable, more power to her, but she seems to have a good thing going back in her home country.

I miss her theme song.

I think someone on reddit mentioned that she is scheduled for a show in February, so if that's the case she probably ain't coming back for awhile.

[Jumpin' Jesse Walsh]

Her short-lived partnership with Chase U was elite TV.

I would think if they have a 4th in mind considering all is true from what we have read so far about this potential group that whoever it is would atleast have a pretty significant ammount of history with IYO and or KAIRI and while Sarray is a great talent she is practically unknown to the wider WWE audience and the commentators would have very little to go on history wise trying to tie her to KAIRI and IYO.

Maybe HHH did work some magic and got something with STARDOM because other than Sasha no one really comes to mind again if the report is true about the 4th being someone no one will see coming.

I would say usually her having a show in February would not matter because card subject to change and all but Japan is very much different though so and also if she was already in negotiations with WWE she would not have taken that date in February IMO.

Sun-Man is coming to the WWE?

[EoE: Well There's Your Problem]

Seems unlikely, as it was announced that she’s signed a multiple-year deal with the new Sukeban promotion.

[AwamoriRock]

Japan run gets to keep going, thank you Sukeban

[Finish Uncle Muffin’s Story]

I was kind of shocked to see the rumors anyways. They really did her dirty the first go-around.

I'd also be disappointed if it was Sasha, tbh, as it'd just become another Horsewoman vs. Horsewoman feud when the company needs to keep moving beyond them as the core draws.

Any word on the street cred of Sukeban? Looking it up, they’ve only run one show (that’s how new they are), but they seem to have a very strong concept of presentation with their wrestler’s gimmicks, like if GLOW was a joshi promotion.

[Killah Ray]

I prefer if the next joshi was Giulia anyway..*shrugs shoulders*

I will say from my pov the in ring was solid enough but the overall astheticly they have a ways to go.

If they indeed have top fashion people working on the costumes of this show....it aint showing.

We will see what they do with their show in Miami I think in december.

Most people are very wary of it, because signing someone to a multi-year deal when the company has only had one show raises a lot of red flags. It doesn't help that the backer of Sukeban isn't publicly disclosed either.

Grain of salt but according to Stardom’s English language guy it appears their goal seems to be making their promotion a tv show and the first show was meant to be a pilot to court distribution, which is apparently supposed to be partly why it was so sloppy as a live show because they intend to edit things in post.

I think it’s a sketchy and a mixed bag this early on but they have access to really good wrestlers. One of their producers is this Ian guy who visited the SEAdLINNNG in Japan recently. I hate their costumes personally lol

Kind of puts this entire thing back to square one assuming they are gonna go through with the rumors floating around.

Sasha seems like the most obvious especially now that Sarray is off the table.

Giulia still has the NJPW stong womens title so I assume that is also off the table as long as she keeps that title

I wish it easier to know the STARDOM contracts but those things are probably under lock and key under Rossys hats.

Maybe Meiko but I assume she has absoloute no interest in moving stateside full time so gonna say no to this one also.
