At least temporarily, but it’s huge nonetheless…Stardom has announced that Syuri will be leaving the promotion indefinitely after the 7/6 event at Korakuen Hall in Tokyo. Not injury-related but a translation of her comments from Stardom’s Japanese website suggest she’s going to go overseas for training because she wants to reclaim the IWGP Women’s Championship, which she recently lost to Sareee. I can’t help but think this could mean All Elite Wrestling but we’ll see. It’s not known how long she will be gone but definitely will be at least 1-2 months because she is now out of the upcoming 5STAR GP. Although one has to wonder, is that title cursed? Everyone that’s held it before left Stardom almost as soon as they lost it (KAIRI went to WWE, Mercedes Mone went to AEW but did come back, albeit to New Japan though, Mayu Iwatani went to Marigold, now Syuri is leaving temporarily).
More as it becomes available.
UPDATE: Syuri’s final match on 7/6 before leaving will be against Ranna Yagami. Syuri also indicated she will be back in Stardom at some point.
