Hiroko Suzuki Interested in Women’s Royal Rumble Appearance

Hiroko Suzuki, fondly remembered as the manager for Kenzo Suzuki and Rene Dupree during WWE’s early 2000s era, has sparked excitement among wrestling fans with her recent comments about potentially stepping back into the ring.

Suzuki, who also had a memorable Kimono match against Torrie Wilson on the February 5, 2005, episode of WWE SmackDown, has been away from wrestling for years, transitioning to a career in politics.

During a new interview with DS Shin of Ring The Belle, Suzuki expressed her interest in appearing in a future women’s Royal Rumble. “I want to do that. Yeah, I want to do that. It’s a lot of fun. I forget that emotion,” Suzuki shared, recalling her recent in-ring experience during the SHW RumbleJack event in August.

She added, “Jimmy called me and asked, ‘Hiroko (can you) you do this?’ I said, ‘I can’t do that. I’m old and forget everything.’ Once I showed up and entered the ring, it was so wonderful. I love it.”

While Suzuki’s recent comments hint at her willingness to make a WWE return, it remains uncertain if or when she might step back into the spotlight. Fans can only hope that her nostalgic enthusiasm could lead to a surprise Royal Rumble appearance that would delight long-time viewers.
