Backstage News On AEW Star Yuka Sakazaki’s Whereabouts

In the latest edition of the Fightful Select Answers Q&A, a question was raised about the whereabouts of AEW and ROH star Yuka Sakazaki, who is married to fellow AEW star Konosuke Takeshita. There was some confusion about her AEW status approximately two years ago when her profile was mistakenly removed from the company roster page; however, this was an error, and her profile was later restored.

Sean Ross Sapp clarified that Sakazaki, who is still listed as a member of the AEW roster, has been residing in the United States. She has attended backstage at the AEW shows where Takeshita has competed. Sapp also noted that he has not heard of Sakazaki being sidelined with any injuries.

Sakazaki has not wrestled a match on AEW television in over a year. Her last appearance on Dynamite was on January 29, 2025, where she lost to Mercedes Moné in a match for the TBS Title. Following that, she appeared on ROH television multiple times, with her final match happening on the December 4, 2025 edition of ROH on HonorClub.

Takeshita and Sakazaki announced their marriage in May of last year.
