WWE veteran finally returning to the ring for the first time in 19 years as part of huge match

A WWE veteran is finally returning to the ring and will be part of a huge match. It will be almost 19 years since the legend last wrestled.

Hiroko Suzuki is a name that most WWE fans of a certain age are familiar with. The star played a formative role in the promotion as a part of the Ruthless Aggression Era. She is remembered well for her rivalry against Torrie Wilson, but she also played a huge role as the manager of her husband Kenzo Suzuki and Rene Dupree's tag team in WWE.

She was released from the company in July 2005. She competed outside the promotion in a mixed tag team match on December 25, 2005, when teaming with her husband. Since then, she's not wrestled.

Hiroko will return to the ring after a 19-year absence since her last match. She will wrestle in Southern Honor Wrestling's RumbleJack event, which is similar to the Royal Rumble. The event will also feature multiple other well-known names, including QT Marshall and CT Keys.

It remains to be seen if this will be a one-off appearance or a return to wrestling for good.

The veteran has been active after her WWE career

While her wrestling career came to an early end in 2006 when she last managed her husband and turned on him, slapping him in the face, Suzuki has still been active outside the squared circle.

In 2015, she became a part of the Funabashi city council after being elected to that position.

The star's rivalry against Torrie Wilson in 2005 saw her in a Kimono match that remains one of the odder rivalries of the time.

Fans will have to wait and see what role the former star plays in her in-ring appearance.
