As previously reported, Sasha Banks is set to attend the Wrestle Kingdom 17 event in Tokyo Dome on January 4th, 2023. This will mark her first appearance for a wrestling promotion in months. It was also reported that Sasha Banks is done with WWE.
According to the Wrestling Observer Newsletter, Dave Meltzer talked about Sasha Banks’ upcoming appearance in NJPW. Meltzer noted that the company plans on making her appearance a surprise.
While New Japan nor Stardom has yet to make an announcement regarding Mercedes/Sasha Banks and the Tokyo Dome, Banks was noted as going to Japan this week looking at marketing herself in that country. While this decision can be changed, as all can, at the moment they are working with the idea of not announcing her appearance ahead of time and making it a surprise ahead of time.
