BITE-SIZE SHOW REPORT: Marigold Spring Victory Series 2025 – Night 6 (Sunday, 23rd March 2025)

Pre-Show Notes

• 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. 
• Nagisa Tachibana (rib), Hummingbird (knee) and Seri Yamaoka (concussion) will all return to action at Korakuen Hall on Sunday 30th March.
• Kouki Amarei will be missing from all shows due to a torn ACL. Her tentative return date is May 2025.
• Naho Yamada will miss an undisclosed period of time through a knee injury she sustained in Shinjuku FACE on the 7th February. She has since confirmed that she has ruptured the ACL and lateral ligament in her right knee and will undergo surgery to repair the damage.
• Attendance Notes: The announced attendance inside the Lily Arena MITO, Ibaraki was 415, a number Marigold have confirmed was a sell-out. This is the first time Marigold have run the arena, with it outdrawing the only Stardom show ran there (363 in June of 2022). According to Cagematch, the arena is not one that runs a lot of wrestling shows, with between one and two happening a year and only New Japan running it with any short of regularity.

Quick Results

• Singles Match: Kizuna Tanaka def. Ryoko Sakimura w/ (5:57)
• Singles Match: Megaton def. Riara w/ Mega Megaton Press (6:37)

Show Notes

• Having lost her previous 9 singles matches dating back to April 2023, Megaton finally won a singles match against Riara to take her record to 1-10.
• Following her pinfall win over Chika Goto, Miku Aono seemed to hint at a future Twinstar Championships match with partner Mai Sakurai.
• The main event saw a pair of firsts, with Rea Seto main eventing her first show alongside teammates Utami Hayashishita, Victoria Yuzuki and MIRAI. It would also see Misa Matsui secure a pinfall victory for the first time in a Marigold main event.
