Veteran wrestler Maki Itoh is officially part of the STARDOM roster. During today’s STARDOM event at the Korakuen Hall in Tokyo, Japan, a vignette revealed that Itoh has signed with the promotion.
STARDOM President Taro Okada later announced, “Today, #STARDOM has signed a contract with pro wrestler Maki Itoh.” Itoh also appeared live to commemorate the occasion. She stated, “After nine years of professional wrestling, this is the first time I’ll be doing it as a part of this organization. I will be joining STARDOM. Nice to meet you!”
A near 10-year veteran of the sport, Itoh has competed in DDT, AAEW, MLW, PWG, and more. She was previously affiliated with Tokyo Joshi Pro-Wrestling (TJPW). However, she departed from the promotion last year after her contract expired in August.
