Yuka Sakazaki graduating from TJPW, will be based in USA in 2024

Yuka Sakazaki plans to be based out of the United States beginning in 2024. 

Tokyo Joshi Pro Wrestling (TJPW) held a press conference on Monday where it was announced that Sakazaki would graduate from the promotion at the end of the year. Her final match with TJPW will be the company’s 10th Anniversary show from Korakuen Hall on December 1, 2023. After that, Sakazaki plans to continue her wrestling career while being based in the United States. 

Sakazaki debuted with TJPW in late 2013, less than a year after the promotion held its first show. She is a three-time Princess of Princess Champion, won the Tokyo Princess Cup in 2022, and has held the Princess Tag Team Championships four times, once with Shoko Nakajima and three times with Mizuki, including their current run with the titles. 

Sakazaki has regularly performed for AEW over the last four years, even wrestling on its inaugural pay-per-view, Double or Nothing 2019. She has a career record of 14-7 in the promotion. Sakazaki has also been active with Ring of Honor in 2023. She unsuccessfully challenged Athena for the ROH Women’s title at Supercard of Honor in March.
