Bea Priestley signs an exclusive contract with World Wonder Ring Stardom

The return of Bea Priestley to STARDOM is not just a comeback: it is a strategic move that brings back one of the most influential foreign talents in the company's history. Priestley, who has now signed as an exclusive talent after leaving WWE, is ready to reinsert herself at the top of the women's scene in Japan. The announcement was made by the company's president, Taro Okada, during a press conference in Japan on August 23.

During her time as Blair Davenport in WWE, the British wrestler did not achieve the prominence many expected. Despite her potential, her stint in the American brand fell short and her departure in 2025 marked the end of a bittersweet period. Now, back in familiar territory, Priestley finds the opportunity to prove herself once again where she has already made an impact.

Her return materialized this summer with her participation in the 5 Star Grand Prix 2025, where she advanced to the playoffs of the Red Stars A block. Although she was eliminated in the first round, facing off against the new generation of STARDOM immediately repositioned her as a relevant figure. And on September 6, she will face a tough challenge: she will challenge Saya Kamitani for the World of Stardom Championship at STARDOM TO THE WORLD 2025.

Between 2017 and 2021, Priestley had already left a legacy in the company as a world champion, as well as winning tag team and trio titles. Her return with an exclusive contract not only ensures continuity, but also sends a clear message: STARDOM wants to strengthen its international identity.

The story of Bea Priestley in Japan enters a new phase. After years of ups and downs, the British wrestler seeks to regain the shine that made her one of the most valuable foreign pieces in the roster, with the ambition to reign at the top once again and prove that she still has a lot to offer to the world of joshi puroresu.
