NJPW Owner Reportedly Calls WWE’s La Sombra Signing a “Massive Shame”, Backstage News on Who Will Help Sombra with His English

November 28, 2015

According to The Wrestling Observer, Sarah Stock (fka Sarita and Dark Angel), who is now working as a trainer at the WWE Performance Center, may be the one to help teach English to new WWE talent Manuel Alfonso Andrade Oropeza (fka La Sombra). The two actually dated when Sombra got into wrestling at the age of 19. He’s now 26.

In related news, it was previously reported that La Sombra likely gave his notice to CMLL officials in Mexico as far back as August. New Japan Pro Wrestling owner Takaaki Kidani was said to be really upset with Sombra choosing to sign with WWE over NJPW and CMLL, calling it a “massive shame.”
