Among those currently expected to be joining Ogawa’s new promotion is Giulia for its launch period before heading off to WWE.
Tokyo Sports reported that their sources stated that Utami Hayashishita, MIRAI, Yuzuki, and Mai Sakurai are all expected to be leaving Stardom once their current contracts expire at the end of this month.
It was reported that all four are also currently expected to be joining Ogawa’s new Joshi promotion for their next destination.
One source spoken to close to Hayashishita reportedly stated that Hayashishita had told others that she wanted to change her environment and start fresh for the direction of her career.
In regards to the impact on Stardom’s current championships, MIRAI is the current World of Stardom Champion while Hayashishita is one half of the current Goddess of Stardom Champions.
