Kinda makes me wonder what the point of the IWGP women's title was but ok this is happening

So NJPW has two women's singles titles now for a roster of...1?

There's a lot of people that seem to think Guilia would be a major star in AEW or WWE, like "oh this time it'll be different. She's a can't miss superstar!" and all I can think is I've seen several Guilia-tier joshi meander through NA wrestling careers by now why in the world would Guilia be any different?

In the past when they did a substitute they just gave someone else the injured person's booking. A little surprised they couldn't do it since the injury happened so early, but also understandable. Also, 7/29 is up on VOD and 7/30 will go up tomorrow early.

Heard Saya was supposed to win, which would make sense why they didn't do that this time

Seems like a weird move when they didn't really do anything with her last time, she left because she was getting killed by unsafe workers, they wouldn't let her do anything at all but sit at home and wait out her contract, and they currently have like 10 women they're already not using.

Why is surprised pikachu in that tweet when Rousey/Suyri would legit be a big surprise. Have memes lost all meaning?

Guilia in WWE would be a massive waste almost on the level of Ospreay in WWE

As if Stardom needed any more injury problems now they're being assimilated into the knee-destroying collective

Hope it's not nxt Japan. Definitely not excited to watch Mayu have to stop taking neck bumps.

This would make it seem like she's following Rossy wherever and doesn't feel she needs an agent to do that.

i still have no idea how he's going to just start up another promotion though, but I'm not nearly knowledgeable enough on Japan/joshi to know how difficult that would be right now. Kinda sorta smells like the beginnings of nxt japan to me but that was more of a triple h dream and have no idea if Endeavor has any plans for an expansion like that.

Rossy definitely doesn't have WWE backing yet but he's trying his damndest to get it. I don't really see a reason why they would give it to him though. Maybe if his promotion really takes off big and/or he's able to get a couple more big names from Stardom for it but I just don't think there's enough money in it for WWE to be involved in a financial way right now. Too bad for Triple H that the company got merged with Endeavor before he could enact his global takeover strategy because you know if it were up to only him he'd have already done it.

However WWE might look at the AEW partnerships with NJPW + Cyberfight which for them appears to have only been successful in terms of them getting talent plus building hype for shows (thinking of Forbidden Door here) while also giving them a leg up over WWE in contract negotiations by offering the chance to work Japan or Mexico or wherever. If you are WWE you can simply do that right: it doesn't need some WWE Performance Centre in Tokyo, it doesn't need you to hire lots of people; all it really requires is to perhaps send some cash and talent over to said partner every so often and then perhaps bringing them in. Its WWE so I am sceptical of it working longer term as none of their partnerships have but in a post-Vince world the idea of WWE management thinking 'why do we NEED to build our own thing in Japan to work with people there' doesn't seem outlandish to me.

I guess this is possible but I still wonder what WWE's benefit is here. If it's to even the playing field with AEW in terms of signing prospects well they just got their main target Guilia with no competition from AEW, and personally I don't see them trying to sign a bunch of Joshi, because... If the point of this is to have a place to send their PC trainees on a brief excursion, well, I guess I just don't buy that since I really don't think WWE wants their wrestlers wrestling the Joshi style.

Do you think guilia is self aware enough to realize that her 'taking a risk' and jumping to Marigold is not the same as someone without a WWE contract taking that same risk?

Is she a free agent or was that world wide web tweet just clever wordplay
