28-year-old former WWE star makes history
Wrestlers often leave WWE and create their own path to glory. One such wrestler, Sareee Bomb, did something similar in the United Kingdom.
Sareee is one of the fastest-rising stars in Japan's women's wrestling scene and has won multiple titles at a young age. In 2023, she began appearing in different promotions in Japan in the hopes of adding more gold to her already impressive resume.
Almost a year ago, it was announced the 28-year-old star had signed a three-year deal with Sukeban. The promotion was just established on September 1, 2023, and signing a notable name like Sareee is a pretty big deal.
Yesterday, Sareee Bomb made history when she became the second-ever Sukeban World Champion. She defeated Commander Nakajima in the United Kingdom and ended her 300-plus reign.
"Sareee Bomb is the new Sukeban World Champion 👑🍒 #SUKEBAN," Sareee wrote.
This wasn't Sareee's only title win of 2024 as she also made history in a different promotion as well. Bomb become the inaugural Marigold World Champion on July 13, 2024, by defeating Guilia.
What did Sareee do in WWE?
In 2020, Sareee signed a deal with WWE and spent three years on the developmental brand under Triple H and Shawn Michaels' creative leadership. The Stamford-based promotion allowed her to finish her independent dates before she debuted for the company in 2021.
After a new name and music, she had a short stint with a few matches under her belt. In 2022, she was repackaged and feuded with Tiffany Stratton for a while on the developmental brand.
Following a few losses, she crossed paths with Chase U on WWE NXT. Sareee spent a while with the faction and got an opportunity to challenge Mandy Rose for the NXT Women's Championship.
After multiple losses and a lack of creative direction, she asked for her release in the coming months. In 2023, she was released from the Stamford-based promotion and returned to Japan, where she's currently working.
