>[Stardom] Maika: Heartbroken by the withdrawal of five players...but the magnanimity of the champion: "If you fail, you fail, and you can come back.
>Maika, the world champion of women's professional wrestling "Stardom," revealed her thoughts on the five players who have left the organization. The group left on March 31, when contracts expired for Utami Hayashishita, Giulia, MIRAI, Mai Sakurai, and Yuzuki. Still mourning the loss of her close friends, she will be facing her ally Megan Bayne in a V3 match on April 4 in Philadelphia, USA.
>Maika, who worked with Giulia, MIRAI, and Sakurai in Donna del Mondo (DDM), which disbanded in January, said, "I think I've been cursed since Himeka's retirement.... Everyone I was deeply involved with, including Megan who went back to the U.S. last year, is disappearing. Actually, it's been pretty tough for me," she said in a rare moment of weakness.
>During her time at DDM, Sakurai had been under the strict guidance of Giulia, who had been by her side for some time. When Sakurai joined DDM, I was angry at her, saying, "Why are you bringing in a guy who can't do anything?
>Still, as if to put her emotions behind her, she said, "I'm sad to leave physically, but I still exchange messages with Himeka and with Megan. I'm still in touch with Himeka and Megan, and I'm still in touch with people I have a deep connection with, even when we are apart. So I'm okay," she told herself.
