“Regarding Sareee, all I know is that as of last night during the show, all the names in the bracket were believed to be participating in the tournament.”
Sareee addressed her status on Thursday, writing:
“As announced, I will be taking approximately one month off for neck maintenance. Having to miss matches that were already scheduled, I am truly sorry for the inconvenience and worry this causes to all the fans and organizations involved. Honestly, it was a decision that took a lot of courage. But I was more afraid of not being able to step into the ring anymore. I made this decision so that I can continue fighting as a professional wrestler from here on out! Please give me just a little time!!”
On today’s ROH Supercard of Honor media call, Tony Khan addressed Sareee’s participation in the Owen Hart tournament, saying her first tournament match is likely not to happen until June.
