STARDOM update - A Tokyo Sports article has named the wrestlers due to leave at the end of March with some rumoured to join Rossy Ogawa's new promotion:

Utami Hayashishita
Giulia
MIRAI
Mai Sakurai
Yuzuki

Yuzuki is a suprise since she has just started and was given a big push but this also explains why Mayu pretty much squashed her at yesterday's PPV too.

@MibIH I was shocked at Yuzuki too, but she absolutely adores Mayu. So I see this as evidence Mayu is definitely gone once her contract eventually expires

@gnitro Someone posted a video on Twitter of Yuzuki from before her debut saying she chose STARDOM because she wanted to be a wrestler synonymous with the company and as its representative.

Insert "this hasn't aged well" meme here... 😉

@MibIH yeah that aged poorly, but so has Stardom firing Rossy 😂

@gnitro Yeah, that mass exodus everyone predicted has proven devastating... 😜

@MibIH I can't imagine this is the end of it. We know Mayu is stuck in a recently extended contract. I'm sure others will leave as their contracts run out. I guess we'll see how Stardom booking goes and how people are used

@gnitro

Mayu is a no brainer to leave but seeing most have signed new contacts implies another AJPW/NOAH scenario is less likely.
