Women’s wrestling has carried professional wrestling throughout 2025. The women’s division in both All Elite Wrestling and WWE continued to put on some of the best matches, and the most interesting angles as the months ticked away. Rumors are swirling that AEW may get a special guest who will carry their women’s division over the top. Fans are speculating that Sareee may be heading for a quick stop in AEW and that would give fans some of the greatest women’s wrestling showcases to date.
Sareee is one of the best women’s wrestlers in the world today. The current IWGP Women’s Champion and Sukeban World Champion is an astounding competitor, who shines every time the bell rings. Many consider her one of the biggest “misses” in recent WWE history, as the company had her signed and refused to do anything interesting and not stereotypical with her during her WWE NXT run. How has she rebounded? By simply becoming one of the top names in wrestling today.
AEW is known as the place “where the best wrestle.” Allowing Sareee to compete against the likes of Mercedes Mone, Toni Storm, Kris Statlander, ATHENA, and others would only further prove that point. This is the type of excursion that would shine an amazing light on Sareee, perhaps setting her up for the true North American run that never came when she was a part of WWE.
“When I went to WWE in America, I didn’t want to be a villain so much as a strong wrestler,” Sareee said in an interview with Mera Wrestling back in August of 2025. “I wanted to be seen as “cool” and “strong,” but instead they made me play an anime character in a sailor uniform. They told me it suited me, but I felt like, ‘That’s not me!’”
That speaks to WWE’s tired booking practices of sticking performers into stereotypical roles based on their cultural identities. This is yet another example of it failing, much like putting Kushida in a tag team called “Jacket Time.” Sareee was a huge botch in WWE, but not by anything of her own doing. All the blame should fall on WWE, and her run since leaving the company proves that point.
Sareee versus any of the top names in All Elite Wrestling would be amazing competitive showcases for the company. These are the type of dream matches that AEW fans live for, and if the rumors are true, Sareee’s excursion would be “must-see” television.
