New Japan and Stardom announced recently that a run of shows between themselves and AEW during the first week of January – dubbed ‘Wrestle Kingdom Week’ – including Stardom’s New Year Dream on the 3rd January, NJPW Wrestle Kingdom 19 on January 4th, a co-promoted show between Stardom, NJPW and AEW called Wrestle Dynasty emanating from the Tokyo Dome, before finishing with NJPW New Year Dash on January 6th. With this being touted as an annual thing, it is to be expected that other companies would wish to capitalise on the amount of wrestling fans flocking to Tokyo.
This is no different for Dream Star Fighting Marigold, who announced today during the Summer Destiny 2024 PPV in Ryogoku Kokugikan their own show for that week. On January 3rd 2025, Marigold will make their first foray into Ota-Ward City Gymnasium with Marigold First Dream 2025, show that Sonny Gutierrez confirmed on commentary for Summer Destiny will be another Marigold PPV.
This addition to ‘Wrestle Kingdom Week’ makes this stacked week even more can’t miss, but will see Marigold and Stardom, who will be running the Tokyo Garden Theatre on the 3rd January, in direct competition, though bell-time is yet to be announced from either company.
