The working relationship between Dream Star Fighting Marigold (Marigold) and WWE continues at the upcoming Summer Destiny show, as a notable talent has been booked on the card.
The relationship started because of Giulia, who is working for STARDOM founder Rossy Ogawa in his new promotion due to Giulia’s loyalty to Ogawa, who made her a big star in STARDOM before going to WWE.
Giulia will be wrestling former WWE NXT star Sareee at the show on July 13th in Japan. It was announced on Tuesday morning that former WWE Women’s Champion IYO SKY is slated to return to Japan to wrestle Utami Hayashishita.
While speaking on Wrestling Observer Radio, Dave Meltzer noted that SKY will be the only WWE star to appear at the show.
Meltzer said, “They promised to help, and so that’s the July 13th Summerhall show. She’s facing Utami Hayashishita on the same show that Giulia and Sareee are scheduled as the main event. The last I heard, Giulia was saying she was going to do this to match. So you know, I mean, she did have surgery. It’s going to be a close call. But right now, that’s the double-main event. And it’s only IYO SKY. I had heard earlier in the week that there might be other people coming from WWE to the show, but as far as the Marigold people know, it is IYO, you know, coming from WWE on this first show. So the idea is they’re going to be doing I think that the basic battle plan for Marigold is four big shows a year. You know, like at arenas like Sumo Hall, and those are the shows that they would like to get WWE talent, you know, Kairi Sane because the ones that Rossy gets along with, I mean, Asuka, no, Asuka hates Rossy, so she’ll never go there. But just get talent, women’s talent from WWE on the big shows.”
More bouts will be announced for the show in the coming weeks. It will be streamed on Wrestle Universe.
