Tokyo Sports is also reporting that Marigold is planning to invite Damage CTRL members Kairi Sane and Iyo Sky for a big match this summer.

“(WWE) has been very good to me. I think they’re buying into what I’ve been doing to raise Iyo, Kairi, and Giulia. Relationship with WWE? I think there will be some kind of announcement from the other side in the future.”

“I’d like to invite players from the other side (WWE)… I’d like to be able to do something like that.”
