Sareee gives update on neck injury ahead of AEW Dynamite Summer Blockbuster match
Sareee is set to compete on AEW Dynamite Summer Blockbuster this week in the Women’s bracket of the Owen Hart Cup tournament. Skye Blue will be her opponent in the first round of the tournament in what will be Sareee’s AEW debut.
Speaking to Tokyo Sports, the former WWE NXT star revealed that her neck is not quite 100% and that her SPARK RUSH partner Takumi Iroha will also be making the trip to the United States to be in her corner for the match and also take her place if she is not cleared to compete:
I’m not yet in a state where my neck is in perfect shape for my comeback in America. We also got permission from AEW, and this time Takumi will accompany us as our second. If anything happens to me, she’ll come in as a pinch hitter. I’m in a tag team called Spark Rush with Takumi, and I hope to get advice from Chono together this time.
Sareee heading to AEW
Masahiro Chono was heading up the interview, and he said to Sareee why he would recommend that she not get in the ring just yet:
I don’t recommend you [Sareee] step into the ring. There’s still more than ten years left to do after this. If things go wrong, you might end up missing a long game or suffering a serious injury… Don’t rush, right? If Iroha can make the most of Sareee-chan’s chance, both stages will go up.
