With thanks to Lords of Pain, this is roughly translated as “I decided to think about doing professional wrestling abroad outside of Japan. And WWE joining has been decided. I am relieved to be able to properly report to everyone. Spreading Japanese women’s professional wrestling, Aiming for the top of WWE, Aim for the pinnacle of women’s professional wrestling. I will fight over my life."

Squared Circle Sirens' Casey Michael, who is always on the money when it comes to Performance Center matters, has reported that Sareee will move to the United States to officially start with WWE next month.

Sareee has emerged as one of Japan's wrestling's hottest prospects in recent years, starring in acclaimed matches with the likes of Meiko Satomura, Chihiro Hashimoto, and DASH Chisako while scooping championships in World Woman Pro-Wrestling Diana and Sendai Girls. Tokyo Sports had previously reported her signing last year, though this was never confirmed and it looks like Sareee is only on her way to the Performance Center now.
