Latest On Bea Priestley's Post-WWE Plans

Bea Priestley has been announced for STARDOM's upcoming 5Star Grand Prix, which will see her compete in an expanded version of the tournament.

At a press conference this past Saturday, STARDOM announced the participants for this year's event. 32 wrestlers will be split into four groups of eight, with the top three in each group advancing to the knockout stages, where the group winner will receive a bye to the semi-finals.

Priestley sent in a video that was played after her forthcoming appearances were announced, saying:

"Hello, this is the top gaijin, Bea Priestley, and I'm entering myself into this year's Stardom 5Star Grand Prix. Now, win or lose, I'm very aware of how tough these tournaments can be, but I'm going to show how every one of those joshi girls is shopai, shopai, shopai, shopai, shopai. And that Bea will forever be ichiban. See you soon, Japan".

The tournament will run between July 23 and August 23. This will be the second time Priestley has competed in the tournament, having narrowly missed out on the finals in 2019.

The 29-year-old was released by WWE (where she wrestled as Blair Davenport) in February. She later said she had no hard feelings over her release and was excited about working on the independent scene.
