"Both Io Shirai and Kairi Hojo have gotten offers to start in WWE in 2017 in the last week or two. Both told Stardom management about it this week. Shirai said she was going, and said that she was called by Shoichi Funaki. Hojo was contacted by Shinsuke Nakamura and Simon Inoki. Hojo at first didn’t make a final decision and there is some question if she can pass the physical because she’s had two major concussions in the last two years. In July, when WWE ran at Sumo Hall, Hojo was introduced to Nakamura through Simon Inoki, who knew her because they had worked together when Hojo did an IGF tour. Nakamura pushed to Hojo that she’d do great in WWE. Hojo most recently told the Stardom office that she’s interested in going to WWE. Stardom officials believe Shirai is gone for sure, but they are working to keep Hojo and Hojo then said she’s not sure what she’s going to do."Potentially two big pick-ups for the women's division, although if both sign, Stardom will suffer immensely. Poor Mayu, no more Threedom.  Io is more athletic and talented in the ring, but Kairi is more charismatic with a better look IMO. I wouldn't be surprised if Hojo decides to stay just so she can be the top star in the joshi scene, but she is a huge WWE fan and has said in the past that she wants to work there. Interesting times.

I could have sworn that Shirai was working for Lucha Underground now. How did she get out of that? |

Hojo is considered the long term ace, so it's imperative that she stays with STARDOM, as Mayu Iwatani isn't exactly the best person to head up a promotion as it stands. Hopefully it at least leads to STARDOM beginning working with promotions other than SENDAI Girls, as they're considered an island to themselves on the Joshi scene. It's the reason Threedom don't appear in SHIMMER, as the office they work with are tighter with the likes of WAVE and OZ Academy.

Their vast move-sets and ability to sell and bump..... Their years of experience...why else would they hire them? ...........she kicks high |

Now if they could get Io's sister Mio there as well, they could team back up with Asuka and Triple Tails could take over the women's division.
