>Mai Sakurai (33), the "lady" of women's professional wrestling "Stardom," has made an impassioned speech about her decision to leave the organization.
>Sakurai admires Giulia, who she worked with in ``Donna del Mondo (DDM),'' and when the unit disbanded in January, she said, ``I still want to become stronger. I will follow Giulia.'' . As a result, those around her are looking at her as if she is leaving to follow Julia.
>However, she herself said, "I am not leaving without my own will because Giulia is quitting. The choice I made after thinking about what I wanted to do in the future happened to end up with me leaving at the same time as Giulia," she explained. I didn't like the fact that I was somehow managing to play every match because there were so many players (in Stardom). So I chose a more difficult path, a path that would inspire me, and my strongest desire was to break out of my current situation," she emphasized.
>She has only two fights remaining in the ring, which has been her main venue since August 2021. When I joined DDM, 99.9% of the comments I received were criticism. But now, more and more people tell me, 'That was the right path for you. I believe in myself and want to make this decision the right one as well.
>With the exception of Giulia, who still has the possibility of challenging for a WWE mat challenge in the U.S., those who have left the organization are expected to join the new organization planned to be launched by Rossy Ogawa, who was removed as executive producer of Stardom on February 4, 2024.
>When asked about her future, Sakurai's "lady switch" suddenly flipped on. First of all, I'm going on vacation. I'm going to take an early summer vacation to reset my mind. I'm going to rest my body, and then I'll be ready for the next one. Have a good day~. Waving her hand gracefully, she boarded the green car of the Shinkansen.
