It won’t be for some time but it’s possible because Sendai Girls has announced that DASH Chisako, about to celebrate her 20th Anniversary, will be out long-term because they’ve learned she is pregnant. The decision was made that she will not compete any more for now to protect her and the baby’s health. A 20th Anniversary event planned on 7/20 will now be a promotion 20th Anniversary event, for now New Japan wrestler El Desperado-who was previously announced for the event-will still participate but this is subject to change. The promotion will also offer refunds to ticket holders for events.
Sendai Girls also offers their heartfelt congratulations to Chisako and will fully support her during this time. It’s safe to say she won’t return to the ring until at least 2027. Chisako posted a photo of her ultrasound on social media showing the baby holding a chair, which clearly has to be fake (the chair), and many top wrestlers including Desperado, Naomichi Marufuji, Yuji Nagata and former wrestler Saki Akai have posted congratulatory messages. I join in congratulating Chisako and sending best wishes for good health for mother and baby in the future.
(As a reminder, Sendai Girls events can be watched on demand, and sometimes live, on WRESTLE UNIVERSE)
