Having spent a year competing in Japan, Debbie Keitel made a surprise return to UK soil when she competed in Pro Wrestling EVE’s 2026 SHE-1 tournament.
Working for Pro Wrestling DIANA, Keitel is the current Tag Team Champion for the company having won the belt in July 2025. Having confirmed that she’ll be returning to the land of the rising sun, it was a shock when she appeared at EVE as part of the annual tournament.
Quickly dispatching Abi Cartwright in the final qualifier, there was no time to waste as she went in to her quarter-final match with someone she knew very well and even held the EVE Tag Team Championships with – Anita Vaughan.
It was Vaughan who was able to pick up the victory on this occasion, and would go on to the final where she was defeated by Session Moth Martina.
After the appearance, Debbie Keitel commented on what it meant to be back:
No other in-ring appearances have been confirmed for this stay before Keitel returns to Japan, although she will be returning home to Fight Factory in Ireland as a guest coach.
