Sukeban, the mysterious professional wrestling project which has infrequently run events since 2023, is gearing up for one of its biggest shows yet.

The upstart wrestling brand will head to the famous Hammerstein Ballroom in New York City, New York on May 19 for a card sponsored by sports apparel powerhouse Nike. The event was revealed on Thursday through a video package released to social media.

Tickets are currently on-sale for the event, with prices starting at $45 and going up to around $200 for a ringside spot.

Sukeban launched in 2023 with its first-ever event in New York City. The company has brought over some of the top women’s wrestlers from Japan, rebranding many of the women under new aliases and factions. Past champions for the company include Sareee Bomb (Sareee), Atomic Banshee (Ram Kaichow), and Commander Nakajima (Arisa Nakajima).

Since their debut event, Sukeban has run seven more shows over the past few years, visiting spots like Los Angeles, Miami, Tokyo, Berlin, and London. The promotion has been focused heavily on aesthetics, collaborating with artists and fashion designers over the years.
