Like I wanted Sarray back on TV and that was no secret. But this is some real monkey's paw level garbage.
The absolute best case scenario here is that the pendant gives her the power to kick ass and take names. But realistically she's gonna be stuck in a horribly racist stereotype.

Bruce and Johnny Ace are truly in charge of the women again.

So they literally made her a Schoolgirl.
(I assume the idea is magical girl,which is not uncommon in Joshi , but still this looks like it will lack everything that makes it work in Japan)

I kinda want to give it a chance because it could be like the characters from TJPW but again this is Prichard we are talking about..

I am just waiting on Sarray to turn into Radietta. I am hoping there is some twist though like she comes back as a brutal take no names heel.

Wonder if Prichard mentality was "Hey if AEW can create a draw with Riho we will make one with Sarray too".

I think Sarray is one of the best going and she's one of my favorites, so I'm happy to see her back, and I absolutely think she has the talent that can surpass a dumb or weird gimmick (she was actually kinda a goof in Japan during her last run) and I figured she would always be assigned one so it's no shock. This, however, has all the makings of something that could be a train wreck unless they can somehow channel the narrow creative lane that it takes to make something like that work. I'm more concerned about them giving her longer matches and opponents to show off more in the ring.

And they did infact have their own (IMO far superior) version. And they completely f***ed it up.

I'm convinced: WWE creative intentionally gives you a bad gimmick to test how good you REALLY are.
It's the only explanation. It's like hazing.

This company made Tozawa a ninja. This is what they do.

Sarray was pretty boring as just Sarray. I’m not saying this is an upgrade, but who knows. Everyone loved the stupid cartoon boat captain, so maybe this works too.

Let's not leave out Jacket Time which is just a comedy tag team and a total and complete waste of Kushida And tbh they were doing this shit with Asuka and Kairi too on the main roster. Asuka turned into "YELLING JAPANESE AGGRESSIVELY AT YOU" and it was getting tedious. i'd say Io has avoided this gimmick hell but she's been absent entirely for almost a month now, andI really worry about that. But yeah, WWE and booking Japan talent does not and never has mixed outside of like Nakamura's NXT run.

So they literally made her a Schoolgirl. In all fairness, this is one fetish they HADN'T yet fulfilled.

If this is a magical girl gimmick, that tracks with a lot of joshi gimmicks.
Knowing Prichard and Johnny Ace though? It'll end up being little more than fetish fuel.
