On October 25th at Pro Wrestling NOAH’s WRESTLE ODYSSEY II, it was announced that Ulka Sasaki will be reboarding the Ark after spending the better part of a year in the United States competing for WWE’s Evolve.

Sasaki’s return is set for December 31st at NOAH’s first-ever The New Year Eve 2026 event at the Yokohama BUNTAI.

During Sasaki’s journey abroad, he had the opportunity to compete against some of WWE’s up and coming talent on their EVOLVE brand, as well as on NXT live events throughout Florida. The former mixed martial artist also had the chance to showcase his abilities at GCW Josh Barnett’s Bloodsport XV during Wrestlemania 42 weekend, where he defeated Josh Dashou by Knockout.

There has been no official return bout set as of this report, however one can only speculate that Sasaki may eventually want a rematch against fellow White Raven Squad stablemate KENTA, the man who defeated him in his final match before excursion.
