Watch: WRESTLE UNIVERSE
Marigold Summer time Future 2024 marks the true starting of the brand new Joshi promotion, as they’re set to crown three inaugural champions inside Ryogoku Kokugikan. The present may even function one of many largest matches Joshi has seen with WWE’s IYO SKY making her grand return to Japan and competing for the primary time in six years. In case you haven’t given Marigold an opportunity but, that is the time to take action.
Let’s dive into one of many largest exhibits of the 12 months — Marigold Summer time Future 2024.
Komomo Minami vs. Rea Seto
In Match 0 of the present, it’ll be a rookie vs. rookie matchup as Komomo Minami will face Rea Seto, who’s making her Marigold debut.
Seto joined the roster a month in the past at Marigold’s second Korakuen Corridor present, leaving Sendai Ladies after simply 16 matches to essentially kick off her profession. These two are on the similar degree as rookies, having only a handful of matches and attempting to show what they will carry to the desk. There’s little cause to consider that this match will discover a winner, as these rookies ought to go the gap of their exhibition. I’m trying ahead to seeing how Seto does in her re-debut. Prediction: DRAW
tWin toWer (Kouki Amarei & Chika Goto) vs. Victoria Yuzuki & Kizuna Tanaka
tWin toWer are the early favorites to win the Marigold Twin Star Tag Crew Championship each time the belts are formally debuted, so this match needs to be one other likelihood for them to maintain up their momentum.
The duo is 2-0 of their Marigold run so far, together with a win over Victoria Yuzuki, who had teamed with Mai Sakura in that matchup. Each Kouki Amarei and Chika Goto have been blessings to this roster as they bring about one thing completely different to the desk. GoChika has utilized her energy, showcasing a Chokeslam and Big Swing towards opponents. Amarei, however, has as a lot momentum as anybody along with her Large Boots and spectacular Amethyst Butterfly from the highest rope being the successful formulation. Whereas I do count on them to get a win right here, the opposite facet of this match is the place the curiosity is available in.
Victoria Yuzuki is the most effective prospect Joshi wrestling has seen in years. She’s a real prodigy who takes huge steps in each main match she has. The “Future Ace” has already developed rivalries with Goto and Amarei, so her thriller companion higher pack a punch.
Kizuna Tanaka was revealed as X, becoming a member of up with Yuzuki to type the duo of the long run. Tanaka is the daughter of Yumi Fukawa and Minoru Tanaka, displaying that she was born to do that. Fukawa competed in Rossy Ogawa’s ARSION promotion, so there’s a pure connection there. Kizuna hasn’t competed since April and her departure from WAVE was introduced the identical day that X was for this card. She’s a former WAVE Tag Crew Champion, so this can be a great place for the 19-year-old.
I nonetheless are inclined to facet with the confirmed duo to get a win right here, however I’m excited for Tanaka’s return to the ring. Prediction: Kouki Amarei & Chika Goto
CHIAKI & Nagisa Nozaki vs. Myla Grace & Zayda Metal
CHIAKI and Nagisa Nozaki have lately develop into a duo in Marigold, but it surely’s already obvious that it is going to be a mixture that’ll tremendously profit them. That spells hassle for the crew of Myla Grace and Zayda Metal, who haven’t had comparable success.
It was CHIAKI who reached out to Nozaki, desirous to type the heel duo of Marigold. To be trustworthy, it didn’t come as a lot of a shock contemplating CHIAKI stated she wished to be the “rudo” of Marigold in her introductory press convention. Nozaki is the right companion for that mindset.
Grace and Metal, however, haven’t seen eye to eye and talked lots on the Summer time Future press convention. CHIAKI certainly hasn’t forgotten that. With these two forming the perfect heel crew of the promotion, I don’t see them developing brief towards Grace and Metal. Prediction: CHIAKI & Nagisa Nozaki
Superfly Championship
Natsumi Showzuki vs. Misa Matsui
The primary championship match of the night could possibly be a show-stealer on most exhibits, however even nonetheless, it’s going to be an incredible match.
Natsumi Showzuki and Misa Matsui earned their manner into the Superfly Championship remaining with wins over Myla Grace and Zayda Metal, respectively. These two have been linked relationship again to their time in Actwres woman’Z and it’s continued robust into Marigold. They’ve teamed up way more of their new promotion than they did prior, however the connection between them has proven that this might’ve been an incredible duo if it hadn’t develop into so private.
Matsui is the underdog babyface of this promotion. She has the ceiling of being the United Nationwide Champion sometime, and she or he’s a wrestler that many followers already have behind. Showzuki is the seasoned veteran of this match and the favourite consequently. These two would be the ones who outline what the Superfly Championship shall be, and if Matsui has her manner, it’s going to go down the street of excessive velocity.
I do suppose Matsui will maintain this championship ultimately, however there’s cash within the chase for her. Arising brief towards her senior feels just like the pure development of her Marigold story, so I count on Showzuki to be the inaugural Superfly Champion. Prediction: Natsumi Showzuki
Nanae Takahashi, Nao Ishikawa & Mai Sakurai vs. Shinobu Kandori, Takako Inoue & NORI
The Legends match of Marigold Summer time Future 2024 has sufficient story to it to lock in. The story, nonetheless, has nothing to do with the legends themselves and the whole lot to do with Nao Ishikawa.
Ishikawa joined Marigold as one of many Authentic 7 on this promotion however was immediately behind everybody else from the beginning. The poster placement at first of the promotion noticed her substitute my Miku Aono, and she or he hasn’t let it go. She’s as a substitute develop into the last word underdog of Marigold, repeatedly preventing again and attempting to point out everybody that she deserves respect. And the followers have taken discover.
In case you have been to look at any of her matches from the primary month and a half that Marigold has been operating, you’d be taught that she’d get a few of the greatest reactions every time. Sadly, reactions weren’t resulting in wins. This brings us to Ishikawa’s Ardour Injection match towards Nanae Takahashi. No, she didn’t win that match. However she earned the respect of the “Ardour Legend” herself, as Takahashi requested Ishikawa to hitch her towards the LLPW-X crew at Marigold Summer time Future 2024.
The Ardour Sisters have discovered success since, successful two matches as Ishikawa has proven simple ardour. However taking up the problem of LLPW-X, particularly Shinobu Kandori, appears like too tall of a process for her. I count on her to be the one who suffers quite a lot of punishment on this match, with Kandori being a serious cause for it. Ishikawa goes to struggle, however she’s prone to fall for Crew Marigold. Prediction: Shinobu Kandori, Takako Inoue & NORI
United Nationwide Championship Match Finalist
MIRAI vs. Miku Aono
After three matches and a mixed 60 minutes, MIRAI and Miku Aono nonetheless don’t have the solutions to beating each other. And that’s what makes this match essentially the most distinctive on your entire card.
Over the previous month, these two have collided three completely different occasions to attempt to discover the second finalist for the United Nationwide Championship. The issue for them is that quarter-hour plus 5 minutes of additional time has not been sufficient — but it surely was changing into nearer and nearer to being simply that. Of their remaining match of the unimaginable trilogy (which everybody ought to watch), Miku Aono hit her Types Conflict end on the first buzzer on the finish of quarter-hour, being simply seconds away from successful. After which in further time, MIRAI hit the Soul Crushing Lariat with not sufficient time left to get the pin.
These two lastly acquired seconds away from successful, however neither might get it executed.
Now they are going to be in a rush to win a match that they haven’t been in a position to after 60 minutes towards one another as a result of the winner then has to face Bozilla later within the night time with the United Nationwide Championship on the road. I might watch these two wrestle endlessly, and one thing tells me I could be doing that in Marigold over the subsequent few years. But when certainly one of these two has to lastly break by and win, it’s going to be MIRAI. She has been the Marigold MVP up to now and deserves her shot on the United Nationwide Championship on this present. Prediction: MIRAI
United Nationwide Championship
Bozilla vs. MIRAI or Miku Aono
Now that you just’ve learn the whole lot above concerning the preventing spirit and greatness that these two have created over the past month, it’s time I make this fast. Bozilla is successful the United Nationwide Championship and there’s nothing they will do about it.
Bozilla is already better off. The powerhouse has been an unstoppable power in Marigold, having not been pinned or submitted but. She had no downside qualifying for this match, making simple work of Nagisa Nozaki whereas the opposite two continued to destroy each other with no winner being topped. It’s simply not honest as is, and now she’s going to get the prospect to choose the bones after they wreck each other one remaining time.
The United Nationwide Championship is Bozilla’s, however the struggle that MIRAI (or Aono) will carry to this match goes to make it thrilling, compelling, and an incredible match. Prediction: Bozilla
Utami Hayashishita vs. IYO SKY
The dream of all goals. Particularly, Utami Hayashishita’s dream. This match will carry the eyes to Marigold, and rightfully so.
For the primary time in six years, IYO SKY will compete in Japan. And never solely will she do this, however she shall be representing WWE. SKY has been an entire success in WWE, coming off a WWE Ladies’s Championship reign that noticed her defend the title towards Bayley at WrestleMania. When she left STARDOM six years in the past, she promised to get to the highest of the largest firm in professional wrestling. Nailed it. Now she returns to a well-known place, even when the identify of the promotion is completely different. And never solely does she return, however she does so to face the lady who has been as near an inheritor obvious to her success.
Hayashishita has executed the whole lot humanly attainable within the first six years of her profession. A year-long World of Stardom Championship reign, a few of the greatest matches in each Joshi historical past and wrestling historical past, and now she finds herself because the ace of Marigold. However the one factor that she hasn’t achieved in her profession is what she is going to do on Saturday night time when the bell rings: wrestle towards IYO SKY.
“The Crimson Queen” has documented this time and time once more; she’s a professional wrestler due to the previous Io Shirai. That is her one and solely dream match, and now she’s lastly getting it. And she or he’s getting it at a time that she will name herself top-of-the-line on the earth.
As I stated at first, this can be a dream match. One for Hayashishita and one for wrestling followers. These two will collide representing Queen’s Quest, a faction that they each had a heavy hand in making so particular, only for it to undergo the destiny it did final month at STARDOM THE CONVERSION. The match is titled Queen of Queen for good cause. It doesn’t matter who wins this match; it’s going to be IYO SKY. However that is the official begin of Hayashishita’s Marigold story. Get pleasure from each little bit of it in what needs to be top-of-the-line matches in wrestling this 12 months and it goes down at Marigold Summer time Future 2024. Prediction: IYO SKY
Marigold World Championship
Giulia vs. Sareee
The Marigold Summer time Future 2024 principal occasion is lastly official. And it’s going to be particular.
At Marigold Fields Without end, Giulia and Sareee squared off in the midst of the ring for the primary time since 2019. Each being fully completely different wrestlers, it was the beginning of what has led to the Summer time Future principal occasion. On that present, it was Sareee who pinned the star of Marigold within the heart of the ring, displaying that “The Solar God” should still have the variety of Giulia regardless of all of her enhancements. It was rapidly made official for Summer time Future 2024 till it wasn’t.
In that very match, Giulia broke her wrist, casting main doubt over her future and this match. She hasn’t competed since then however has remained round Marigold to remain concerned and recuperate. Doubt started to creep in when Giulia revealed on the press convention for this present that she nonetheless hadn’t been cleared. Fortunately, Tuesday was the day that she lastly acquired the inexperienced mild, so let’s lastly get to speaking about this match.
Sareee is the most effective wrestler on the earth. And she or he has proven that in her Marigold performances, to the purpose the place she has named herself the ace of the promotion, though she isn’t a roster member. It was requested of Giulia that whereas she was out, Sareee can be the one to problem the Marigold roster, and as we’ve seen, “The Solar God” has executed simply that.
Giulia and Sareee have been speaking a couple of singles match for the higher a part of the final 12 months. They’ve referred to as out one another in interviews, wrote about each other in private columns, and repeatedly watched one another develop in that point. Not solely are they lastly getting the match, however the bout titled “The Future” has a lot extra to it than simply being a grudge match. The winner can also be going to develop into the inaugural Marigold World Champion.
You’d suppose that Giulia feels just like the lock to win this title. In any case, she did fall sufferer to Sareee within the preliminary principal occasion and is the roster member out of the 2. However this appears like a real 50-50 break up. We all know that Giulia’s future is WWE, even when she doesn’t need to admit it. That makes issues a giant cloudy relating to her involvement with the promotion transferring ahead. Add in the truth that there is probably not a greater particular person to carry world championship gold proper now than Sareee, particularly with the chaos she’s created by calling herself the Marigold ace. She has everybody desirous to face her, and that’s becoming of a world champion. It’s a win-win for Marigold by way of who could be the one to name themselves Marigold World Champion, however the future is lots much less sure for certainly one of these two over the opposite.
With that, I do suppose we get the last word shock and see “The Solar God” stroll away because the Marigold World Champion. Giulia goes to stay round in Marigold a bit longer, however Sareee is the right first champion to push this firm ahead following Marigold Summer time Future 2024. Prediction: Sareee
