They have a “big” announcement tonight. People are speculating Kairi because she added “former WWE star” to her Twitter profile but the more realistic expectation is Wrestle Kingdom matches or an update to their service or TV deal I think.

Alot are of the assumption that if Kairi is indeed headed back to Stardom it will be on the 23rd I believe because they have a big show on that day.
So idk if they would announce her ahead of time instead of leaving it as a surprise.

If she were to come back I would assume it would be at the Sumo Hall show, presumably in a scenario where she comes out after Utami beats Syuri. That’s also not the kinda announcement that you do a press conference for. Although I’m in the minority and would rather see her be a freelancer working every promotion but Stardom lol

Thekla has been great so far. You can just tell that she's relishing in this opportunity at a big break.

So Tokyo Sports posted an interview with Giulia a little bit ago. Pretty basic stuff. Outside of one pretty major piece of information. She plans to seriously pursue the World of STARDOM title going forward, and when/if she wins it, plans to travel the world and defend it in as many promotions across the globe as possible.

Hopefully Lady C will be okay for the PPV. She missed the show from Jan. 16 after being hurt when she spiked on her head (she didn't tuck her head) in a match with Unagi Sayaka.

One of the rare times I've watched Stardom live recently and perhaps that will change given one of the news from the ongoing Nagoya show:
1. Prominence, the deathmatch joshi unit/promotion of Risa Sera, Mochi Miyagi, Akane Fujita, Kurumi Hiiragi and Suzu Suzuki that left Ice Ribbon recently, showed up in Stardom and specifically called out Giulia. I love Prominence and Suzu is the future of joshi, but apart from that, it shows that they are truly a no borders promotion that will mix it up with anybody. This will likely include both a regular faceoff of them vs DDM and a deathmatch (home and home), and perhaps Rossy is softening his in-Japan cross promotion stance a bit. Starlight Kid and Rico Kaiju of SEAdLINNNG recently teased a match (with Natsuki Taiyou taking over Sead this may be a thing now).
2. They aired a vignette with the "mystery girl "talking to Rossy. Rossy said something about her current contract ending soon, and asking her to be at the press conference for the Sumo Hall show. It's clearly building to Kairi unless there's a big swerve.

Death taxes and Giulia turning a good match into a million years. Lol That was disappointing, I suppose it’s not really their fault getting such a big match change last minute and probably told to do a draw but still just filler to set up Giulia and Mayu splitting sumo hall nights—although if Prominence/DDM happens the same show that kinda spoils it .

With the way they've been building it to be her (Tall Saya somewhat teased the girl being someone with a connection to Natsupoi last night), at this point it'd almost be funny to see it not be Kairi just for the reaction lol Before the contract line I have been assuming Saori Anou because of Stardom wrestlers following her and retweeting her so much.

The mystery woman will be revealed on Friday. I'm like 99.9% certain (because there are no absolutes in wrestling) that Kairi is the mystery woman.
Dave also talked about this in the newsletter, saying that it's almost certainly her, and that she's going to work dates in STARDOM, and AEW is on the table, But I don't see her working AEW, and neither does SRS or Andrew, both of whom have said that Kairi leaving WWE was amicable, and that neither side has bad blood and that both sides willing to work together again in the future. I don't see Kairi going over to their biggest rival as a result.
Also worth noting Dave's reporting in regards to joshi and their desires is really bad in general.

I think it's kind of a blind spot for him, maybe due to a lack of of sources on any information for him. I don't think it's a total lack of interest given he was a huge Manami Toyota fan. Then again, I don't think I've ever really heard of anyone who was aware of Manami's work who wasn't a big fan, she was unreal, so maybe that doesn't speak to a general interest in joshi on his part.

I will translate it in more detail later, but Kairi had nothing but nice things to say about her time in WWE in her first post-WWE interview.

That interview was a pretty fun read and had some good insight. I think it's a bit telling the rest won't be up until well after the press conference reveal tonight. I'm almost certain the mystery girl is Kairi but I wouldn't be surprised if they do a slight swerve with it being someone else and Kairi showing up after that, although that would make the buildup pretty wonky.
Speaking of press conferences, I really don't know why they had to hold one for the upcoming New Blood show. The setup is an interesting show with 4-5 promotions participating and a focus on young talent, but in the conference they only announced Maria & Ai Houzan from Marvelous, and of course Haruka Umesaki in possibly the main in a tag match with SLK. With Umesaki's unnanounced partner likely being from Diana I assume it's Madeline or Miyuki Takase, either of which would be great obviously. Maybe they just wanna roll it out slowly or keep an eye on Covid stuff before announcing, but it's not like the show is months away.

It is indeed Kairi, and ironically, Rossy said her name and it's been five years before she could reveal her face and she scolded him for it lol She is going simply by KAIRI.
