AEW has been dealing with lots of injuries lately. According to recent reports, one more star in the promotion has been sidelined. The talent in question would be Yuka Sakazaki.
The last match Sakazaki had in AEW was in April. On the April 20 edition of Rampage, which took place at Peoria Civic Center in Peoria, Illinois, she took on Emi Sakura and successfully defeated her to win the match. Before coming to AEW, Yuka was known for her stint with Tokyo Joshi Pro-Wrestling.
Fighful Select recently released a report stating that Yuka has been sidelined due to an injury. The nature of the injury is unknown according to the report published by the media house.
It was also reported that AEW had plans for her to get involved in a rivalry with Serena Deeb.
