AEW Star Making Comeback After Five-Month Absence

AEW fans have an exciting match to look forward to as The Magical Girl Yuka Sakazaki returns to action after several months away from the ring.

AEW President Tony Khan took to Twitter to announce that Sakazaki will make her comeback on this Saturday’s edition of AEW Collision, airing on September 14. The highly anticipated match will see Sakazaki go head-to-head with The Professor Serena Deeb in a one-on-one bout. In his announcement, Khan shared a match graphic and wrote:

“This Sat, 9/14 Saturday Night #AEWCollision TNT @ 8pm ET/7pm CT @YukaSakazaki vs @SerenaDeeb With Yuka Sakazaki cleared to return, The Professor + The Magical Girl are back on course to collide: they finally fight 1-on-1 on Collision!”

Sakazaki last appeared in AEW back in April 2024, where she secured victories against Trish Adora on Collision, Leila Grey on ROH, and Emi Sakura on Rampage. Her return marks a fresh chapter in AEW, with fans eager to see her face Deeb in what promises to be an intense matchup.

In addition to this exciting clash, Khan also announced a tag team match for this week’s AEW Collision. FTR (Dax Harwood and Cash Wheeler) will take on The Grizzled Young Veterans (James Drake and Zack Gibson), setting up yet another thrilling encounter for the evening.

While the show is set to air on Saturday, September 14, it is being taped tonight in Dayton, Ohio. Fans can tune in on TNT at 8 PM ET/7 PM CT for an action-packed night.
