The Marigold Red Queen Cometh: Exclusive Utami Hayashishita Interview | The Marigold Standard Bonus Episode

Mon, 18 Nov 2024 20:00:00 +0000

There have been a lot of eyes drawn to Dream Star Fighting Marigold from the very get-go. Not only because it is the latest endeavour of Rossy Ogawa, but also due to it coming by way of a ‘split’ from World Wonder Ring Stardom.

Former-World of Stardom Champion Utami Hayashishita was arguably the biggest name to take the leap alongside Rossy, Giulia and a handful of other roster members in May 2024. At 26-years old, and managing to achieve almost all there is to achieve in Stardom, many looked to Utami as the Ace of Marigold and the person to build this entire venture around.

With a Marigold World Championship match locked in for First Dream on the 3rd January 2025, we were granted the opportunity to talk to Utami about the label of ‘Ace of Marigold’, who she would like to face in singles action – both in Marigold and out – that match with IYO SKY and so much more…
