Hey, maybe she's joining AEW. Or the actual WWE.

I'd accept that. I mean I'd rather Rossy took Natsuko Tora over Utami, but it could be a lot worse.

So we finally know the damage. Losing Utami and Giulia at the same time will hurt the top of the card but between Mayu, Maika, Syuri, Saya Kamitani, Tam and Momo who's clearly going the be the Buntai opponent for Maika they'll be OK.

She's going to be at the Philadelphia show so no she's staying

Also why do people assume Rossy has anything to do with WWE? He apparently refused to work with AEW so why would he be "feeding talent" to WWE? There are also zero receipts that Giulia is 100% going to WWE

I believe the Giulia to wwe story but I don't think Rossy had anything to do with that, much less that he's a wwe mole that Tony seemed to believe.

I don't know if Rossy is a mole or not but he's been much more openly receptive to working with WWE.

Giulia is going to the fed though. There's little doubt of that from anyone.

Apparently not. You said "lol" when I said there's no proof that Giulia is going to WWE or that Rossy is a WWE mole, and then you claimed she said she was doing that with nothing to back it up. If it was some kind of joke it was really stupid

Like I said before, I don't care if I'm wrong about any of this I just want to know what's actually happening

Reading between the lines of meltzers take (leaked to him by sonny or fumi saito just before the story broke) bushiroad managed to re sign talent that Rossy expected to get to jump. Saki might be in that. I suspect they've given a few treats to wrestles they really value like new japan dates randomly during fantasticamania, overseas bookings or booking the entire Cinderella tournament literally around them to encourage them to stay

I'm going to assume Suzu is gone whenever her deal is up (looks like she announced becoming full time April 29th 2023), I'm really not too bothered by any of the confirmed losses besides Yuzuki (always bad to lose obvious great future talent) but I'll look forward to seeing the people I like in Arsion 2. Still hoping this doesn't totally decimate the already fragile joshi indie scene.

Yeah I'm not taking sides with any of this. I want Stardom to continue to succeed (which it clearly will) and I also want Rossy's new promotion to succeed. More good wrestling for all of us

It's not that kind of test.
I'll miss MIRAI, Utami, and Suzu if she goes, but otherwise this doesn't seem like the bloodletting I feared.

Definitely the best Cinderella tournament since I started watching, happy about the winner, and hopefully the rest gets sorted in the near future. I guess the Goddess and Artist belts will need to be shuffled around.

I'm pretty sure this has happened to Tam before and the previous time may also have been during a Giulia match.

It's probably better for Tam's long-term career that Giulia's leaving. I'm not sure how many of those kinda matches her body can take. Those two just don't know how to hold back when facing each other and Tam always takes the worst of it.

https://twitter.com/we_are_stardom/status/1644315954736959489?t=hBY00pFetq7KVim72jEckA&s=19

Which was a house show in front of idk a couple of hundred people weeks before the biggest show in stardom history that they were maineventing

Tam has a little bandage on her head going in so I reckon one of those two geniuses came up with the idea of giulia opening her up hardway. Look at the attention giulia pays to the top of Tam's head.

Neither really come from wrestling backgrounds but they both have wrestler brain to levels normally seen in life long wrestling fans who become wrestlers..A real pair of oafs

Still one heck of a feud. For the sake of Tam's already deeply disturbed brain it's best it's ended but they really did try to murder each other. Really can't ask for more in a feud.
