NEWS: Stardom Wrestler Officially Joins New Faction

After weeks of teases, Stardom’s rookie Rian has officially joined Empress NeXus Venus.

Having been selected by Maika to team with her at New Blood 14 against Tam Nakano and Sayaka Kurura in a match that would ultimately see her get her first ever victory, Rian would then go on to face Xena, Mina Shirakawa and Maika all in quick succession. Having impressed against Xena, causing The Touch of Thunder to ‘welcome’ her to EXV, Rian would come out on the losing end of all three singles matches, but would do enough in them to convince EXV co-leaders Mina Shirakawa and Maika to allow her to join the group after her loss to Maika in her hometown.

Empress NeXus Venus is completed by members HANAKO and Waka Tsukiyama.
