BITE-SIZE SHOW REPORT: Marigold New Year Golden Garden 2025 – Night 6 (Sunday, 26th January 2025)

Pre-Show Notes

• Following yesterday’s show in Yokohama Radiant Hall, the singles match between Bozilla and Tank will now be a ‘loser leaves Japan’ match with Megaton acting as special guest ring announcer.
• Kizuna Tanaka will be missing from the next two month’s worth of shows due to the need to rest and heal a persistent back injury she has been working with.
• Komomo Minami will be missing shows for the foreseeable future after injuring the medial collateral ligament and the meniscus in her knee during a tag team match at the Korakuen Hall show on the 26th December. A timetable for her return has not yet been confirmed.
• Kouki Amarei will be missing from all shows due to a torn ACL. Her tentative return date is May 2025.
• Nagisa Tachibana has been removed from all cards until the end of February in order to recover from a rib injury.
• Hummingbird will continue to miss an undisclosed period of time through a knee injury she sustained in Nagoya on the 11th January.
