Yuka Sakazaki Returns to AEW In A Surprising Roster Update, Joined By Mother Wayne

Fans and insiders were left scratching their heads when Sakazaki, a veteran known for her performances since AEW's debut pay-per-view in 2019, wasn't featured on the roster page on February 15th. This came after her impressive showing against Athena for the ROH Women's Championship at Supercard of Honor in March and her return to Japan earlier in 2023.

Then, in May 2023, news broke of Sakazaki's planned "graduation" from Tokyo Joshi Pro Wrestling by year's end, hinting at a major career shift. Her aspirations to relocate to the US and fully immerse herself in the American wrestling scene led many to believe her absence from the roster signaled a farewell to AEW.



However, Sakazaki reappeared on the roster page, quashing any rumors of her departure and reaffirming her place in the promotion. The roster update also welcomed Mother Wayne, fondly known as Shayna, the matriarch of Nick Wayne, as an official member of the women's division.

With Sakazaki's unexpected return and the intriguing addition of Mother Wayne, the AEW women's division continues to morph, promising a tapestry of engaging narratives and thrilling contests for fans to relish in the weeks to come.
