The former NXT Star previously known as Sarray is returning to the ring in her first match since leaving WWE in March.

Sareee, became a member of the WWE roster in 2020. However, her arrival in the company was delayed due to travel restrictions related to the COVID-19 pandemic. She finally made her NXT debut on April 20, 2021, defeating Zoey Stark.

Following her debut match, her time on the brand failed to pick up any momentum. After going home to Japan she returned with a new gimmick but it was unable to change her situation and she was sent to NXT UK.

She was scheduled to challenge Meiko Satomura for the NXT UK Women’s Championship but the match was scrapped once it was confirmed the UK brand was closing to be repackaged at NXT Europe later this year.

Then in March, the performer confirmed she was leaving the company stating that her contract was finished and she would be returning to Japan soon.
