8 Massively Underrated AEW Entrance Themes
3. Yuka Sakazaki - Magical Girl
We’ll probably never know how AEW intended to use the ‘joshi’ performers brought in by Kenny Omega to build an initial women’s division.
Bar Hikaru Shida, they have spent sizable
chunks of the last two years unable to travel to America as a result of both Covid
restrictions in their native Japan and commitments to their home promotions in
that country. All four remain under contract, which can’t be said for the other
three non-American signings they joined alongside, but have fallen well down the pecking order.
Yuka Sakazaki has been featured the least, having recently made her first appearance for the company television almost a year with her appearance in the Owen Hart memorial tournament. If the group were ranked based on their entrance themes, however, she’d soar at the top of the pack with ‘Magical Girl’.
A fast-paced piece that gets more dramatic it goes along, it seems heavily inspired by JRPG’s, which regularly boast some of the world’s best video game music. It certainly wouldn’t sound amiss as a chaotic boss theme in a Final Fantasy or Dragon Quest game, but is seemingly confined to history given that she appears to have re-emerged with an inferior alternative in the form of ‘I Can Fly’
