>The allegations surrounding Rossy Ogawa, a prominent figure in Japanese women’s professional wrestling (joshi puroresu), stem primarily from comments made by former AEW World Champion Kenny Omega during a Twitch stream on April 20, 2024. Ogawa, the founder of Dream Star Fighting Marigold and a former executive producer of World Wonder Ring Stardom, has been accused of inappropriate behavior involving underage girls, though no formal charges or concrete evidence have been presented publicly to substantiate these claims.
>Kenny Omega, who has deep ties to the Japanese wrestling scene, hinted at serious issues with Ogawa, suggesting that “someday people will know the truth” about him. He specifically alleged that Ogawa “puts underage girls in very revealing swimsuit calendars” and implied there were worse actions, though he stopped short of providing details, citing a reluctance to invite legal trouble. Omega also claimed that many wrestlers in both WWE and AEW refuse to work with Ogawa for these reasons, aligning himself with WWE’s Asuka, who has criticized Ogawa in the past, including stating that Stardom was created to “destroy” her.
>These allegations gained traction amid Ogawa’s firing from Stardom in February 2024 by its parent company, Bushiroad, over accusations of talent poaching—claims Ogawa denied. Following his departure, he founded Marigold, which has since entered a working relationship with WWE, further spotlighting his activities. Omega’s comments were partly tied to Marigold’s announcement seeking “healthy unmarried women between the ages of 13 and 30,” which some interpreted as suspicious, though no direct evidence of wrongdoing was provided.
