Ulka Sasaki To Return To NOAH On December 31

Ulka Sasaki will return to NOAH on New Year’s Eve.

Pro Wrestling NOAH’s Ulka Sasaki will make his return to the promotion after spending most of the year on excursion in the United States during NOAH’s first ever New Year’s Eve show from the Yokohama BUNTAI.

Sasaki last wrestled for NOAH back on January 11, when he took on his fellow White Raven Squad teammate KENTA. Over the past nine months, Sasaki has wrestled 20 matches, four of which were televised or streamed. If you combine the runtime of all of those available bouts, it would last 23 minutes and 8 seconds.

The 37-year-old will return to a much different Pro Wrestling NOAH. Shane Haste joined the White Raven Squad and the subsequently won the GHC Heavyweight Championship. Another one of his faction allies, HAYATA, became the first ever GHC200 Champion. And Tetsuya Endo, another faction teammate, joined NOAH full time after starting the year as a loan from DDT.

It will be interesting to see how Sasaki will fare in this new era of NOAH, but one thing is for sure and that is that we will continue to follow Sasaki as he approaches his return to the emerald ring.
