The Owen Hart Foundation Cup tournament is heating up, but it's been a bumpy ride for the women's division. Initially, Persephone was set to be sidelined due to a mist-induced eye injury, but it turned out to be a genuine medical issue. Willow Nightingale's shoulder injury was another blow, forcing her to withdraw from the tournament and vacate her TBS Championship title. Now, the latest concern revolves around Sareee, who's been dealing with neck issues. An interview with Sareee, translated by F4W from Tokyo Sports, reveals a cautious approach to her comeback in the U.S. She admits, 'I'm not yet in a state where my neck is in perfect shape for my comeback in America.' This statement is a red flag for fans and officials alike, especially since her tag team partner, Takumi Iroha, is accompanying her to the U.S. with the green light to step in if needed. The interview also features an interesting perspective from Masahiro Chono, who advises against Sareee's participation in the tournament. Chono's concern is valid, given the potential risks associated with wrestling, especially for someone with ongoing neck issues. Despite these warnings, Sareee is still advertised to face Skye Blue on 'Dynamite: Summer Blockbuster', leaving fans and organizers with a challenging decision to make.
