World of Stardom Champion Maika recently formed a new faction following the disbandment of Donna Del Mondo.
Giulia previously announced the dissolution of her unit, Donna Del Mondo, at STARDOM‘s Stardom Gate 2024 show this past January 4. Following the disbandment, former DDM member and current World Champion Maika teamed up with rookie HANAKO to defeat Club Venus’ Mina Shirakawa and Waka Tsukiyama at STARDOM’s January 20 Takadanobaba show. After the match, Maika grabbed the microphone to exchange a few words with her partner HANAKO. As of late, HANAKO is still getting her foot in the middle card of the company’s roster.
“HANAKO, what do you want to do? What were you thinking? What do you want to be,” asked Maika. HANAKO responded, “I want to become strong like Maika-san and prove everyone wrong!” (translation made available by PuroSubs on Twitter). Maika then accepted HANAKO’s request to be under her tutelage.
It was not long before their opponents, Mina Shirakawa and Waka Tsukiyama, later agreed to join forces with Maika and HANAKO under the new group. Club Venus member Xena then made her return to STARDOM to complete the unit.
In a post-match interview, however, the new group seemed to be on a rough start as Mina Shirakawa and Maika argued over who was the rightful leader of their faction. “I will never join Club Venus. That means we have no choice but to create something new. It will become a new unit. The unit name will be announced tomorrow? The leader is me,” says Maika (translation made available by PuroSubs on Twitter). Mina immediately disagrees and claims that the faction’s leadership is hers.
As of the time of writing, the name of the faction is yet to be publicly disclosed.
