Welcome Return: Popular International Star Returning To AEW

Welcome back. AEW has not been around all that long at the moment, but they already have a rather deep history of their own. This includes some things that have been better than others, including the not so great early days of the women’s division. The division has come a long way, and now one of their previous starts is ready to make a return to the promotion.

Tokyo Joshi Pro Wrestling has announced that Yuka Sakazaki will be returning to AEW television at some point in July. This is described as her excursion, meaning that it will not be a permanent move. According to 411mania.com, assuming there are no changes in Japanese policy over the Coronavirus pandemic restrictions, Sakazaki will be back in Japan on August 14. Sakazaki’s most recent match for AEW took place in February 2020.

Sakazaki was a player in AEW. Check out what she has done there ni the apst:

YUKA SAKAZAKI & RIHO VS PENELOPE FORD & BRITT BAKER | AEW DARK - 2/29/20 CHICAGO, IL

Opinion: While this might not be the biggest move, it is a sign that things are starting to get back to normal. An international wrestler being able to come back to America to wrestle is a good sign that things are a lot better than they were just a few months ago. Hopefully everything else gets back to normal sooner rather than later, because it has been a long time coming already.

What will this mean for AEW? Who else would you like to see back? Let us know in the comments below.
