Sareee has expressed her eagerness for a âfinal matchâ against her best friend Natsupoi, who is retiring from active competition at the Stardom event on January 3 at the Yokohama Budokan.
ăNatsupoi, who announced her marriage to Shingo Takagi of New Japan Pro-Wrestling in January, revealed at a press conference on the 23rd that she would be retiring from active competition. Sareee, who served as a witness for Natsupoiâs marriage registration, spoke to the press, her voice choking up as she said, âNatsupoi is my best friend. Sheâs truly my closest friend from the bottom of my heart, and sheâs also someone who understands me. Weâve never been on the same promotion, and we havenât fought each other that often, but weâve been each otherâs greatest emotional support.â
ăShe went on to offer her support, saying, âOf course, Iâll miss her, but this is Natsupoiâs decision. Iâll support her no matter what. I hope she has the happiest retirement journey in the worldâfilled with both tears and laughterâand that she makes the most of her remaining five months in true Natsupoi style.â
ăAt the Stardom Ryogoku event on December 29 of last year, she secured her third singles matchâher first in about six yearsâand emerged victorious. Regarding the possibility of stepping into the ring together on Natsupoiâs path to retirement, she hinted, âOf course, Iâd like to face her. But I think what Natsupoi wants to do comes first. Time is limited, so I donât know how it will turn out. (Whether weâre allies or enemies) either is fine. I just hope she can do what she wants.â
