Bea Priestley is officially back in STARDOM—this time as an exclusive wrestler.
STARDOM President Taro Okada confirmed the news during a press conference in Japan on August 23rd, one day after Priestley signed her new deal. The announcement comes just shortly after her WWE release, where she had been wrestling under the name Blair Davenport.
Priestley made her return to STARDOM in July and immediately entered the 2025 Stardom 5 Star Grand Prix. She advanced to the Red Stars A playoffs but was eliminated in the first round by Rina. Despite the setback, her comeback run is already heating up, as she is scheduled to challenge Saya Kamitani for the World Of Stardom Championship at STARDOM TO THE WORLD 2025 on September 6th.
This isn’t uncharted territory for Priestley. She originally wrestled in STARDOM from 2017 to 2021, building an impressive record as a former World Of Stardom Champion, a two-time Goddesses Of Stardom Champion, and an Artist Of Stardom Champion. Her history with the company, paired with her new exclusive contract, sets the stage for a major second chapter in her STARDOM career.
