After NOSAWA Rongai announced his debut in Monday Magic, Ulka Sasaki decided to appear at Pro Wrestling NOAH and was greeted by the Shinjuku FACE crowd, hoping to see the best out of Sasaki. NOSAWA got to introduce Sasaki to the crowd and then he introduced Sasaki’s opponent in NOAH The New Year 2024. Takashi Sugiura appeared and immediately confronted his rival for Ariake Arena.

As both men were shaking their hands, Sugiura grabbed Sasaki and dumped him on his head with a brutal Olympic Slam. The wrestling veteran took the microphone and introduced Sasaki to the world of pro wrestling in a peculiar way.

Based on the report from PKDX, Sugiura said to Sasaki: “This is pro wrestling Yuruka! The fight has begun for you!” and the crowd got instantly hooked on this debut match for former MMA fighter Sasaki. The New Year is slowly approaching for NOAH, and in an event that will look to recapture the lost feeling from 2020 and 2021, Sasaki will make his debut. We wish nothing but luck to the new member of NOAH.
