Last week, Sareee was scheduled to face Skye Blue in the last first round match of the Women’s Owen Hart Foundation tournament. She has been battling a neck injury and although she was cleared by her doctor, AEW’s doctor did not clear her. In an interview with Tokyo Sports, Sareee said that her tag team partner, Takumi Iroha, would take her place. She was replaced by Maya World, who got the victory over Blue to advance in the tournament.
Sareee posted on X (formerly known as Twitter) about her disappointment in being unable to compete in the tournament. She wrote, “I was very disappointed that I couldn’t participate in this great tournament and I apologize to the fans who were excited for it. I definitely want to return to AEW. Looking forward to that day.”
