In addition to Japan, wrestling for promotions such as <strong>JDStar<\/strong>, Sakai worked for companies around the world. She even held the <strong>PCW Ultra<\/strong> Women&#8217;s Championship.<\/p>\n<p>In the past couple of weeks, it was speculated that Kellyanne was either close to signing a deal with ROH or was on her way to the promotion in question. This was spurred by PWInsider before a number of other publications covered the story. It&#8217;s important to note that, as of this story, ROH has not confirmed its signing of Kellyanne. However, it&#8217;s safe to say that her participation in the <em>Women&#8217;s World Championship Tournament<\/em> this spring could be a launchpad of sorts.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">\u2022Quest For Gold\u2022<\/p>\n<p>ROH Women\u2019s World Title Tournament <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/QuestForGold?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">#QuestForGold<\/a> begins in Philadelphia April 24th at the 2300 Arena!<\/p>\n<p>Signed to compete: <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/KellyanneFiendC?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">@Kellyannefiendc<\/a> <\/p>\n<p>Join us in person or streaming for HonorClub!<\/p>\n<p>\ud83c\udf9fPURCHASE TICKETS: <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/kQVqHqiTC6\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">https:\/\/t.co\/kQVqHqiTC6<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/xZPVCDryMd\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">pic.twitter.com\/xZPVCDryMd<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&mdash; ROH &#8211; Ring of Honor Wrestling (@ringofhonor) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/ringofhonor\/status\/1232395035842424834?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">February 25, 2020<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<h5 style=\"text-align: center;\">Trained under the tutelage of <strong>Lance Storm<\/strong>, Kellyanne began her professional wrestling career in 2009.<\/h5>\n<p>Since then, she has appeared for a number of promotions around the world, including <strong>Slam Factory Wrestling<\/strong>, <strong>SHINE Wrestling<\/strong>, and <strong>SHIMMER<\/strong>.
