Stardom might be on the verge of another talent exodus. With Tam Nakano now gone and being a freelancer and possibly Saya Kamitani at the end of next month (depending what happens on 4/27), Tokyo Sports Mina Shirakawa is now leaving after next weekend. Her contract is reportedly expiring and she gave notice at the end of 2024 that she would move on even though she was announced already for Stardom’s April US events. The rumors suggest she’ll head back to the US and possibly All Elite Wrestling. No official word from Stardom on this yet.
UPDATE: Stardom has a press conference scheduled for tomorrow at 2 AM PT/5 AM ET so we may find our more then. It will be streamed live FOR FREE on YouTube.
UPDATE 2: The press conference confirmed it. Shirakawa was there and announced she is leaving Stardom for AEW.
UPDATE 3: Tokyo Sports reports Shirakawa’s final Stardom match will be on 4/6. Stardom has also confirmed the above news.
