Dream Star Fighting Marigold (stylized as Dream Star★Fighting Marigold), referred to simply as Marigold (マリーゴールド, Marīgōrudo) in shorthand, is a Japanese

promotion founded in April 2024.[1][2][3][4]

History

Formation

Marigold was founded by former All Japan Women's Pro-Wrestling co-producer and World Wonder Ring Stardom (Stardom) co-founder and promoter Rossy Ogawa, after Ogawa was fired from Stardom in February 2024. Ogawa was dismissed from Stardom after being accused by the promotion's management of "poaching talent" for what would be Marigold, he later denied this claim.[1][2][3][4]

Upon the announcement of the creation of the promotion, several active members of the Stardom and

Natsumi Sumikawa, Miku Aono, Misa Matsui, Chiaki, Chika Goto, and Kouki.[1][2][3][4] Ogawa named his new promotion after Aimyon's song titled "Marigold", as it contains the message that "Marigolds are often associated with the powerful strength of the sun, and represent the power, strength, and light that resides within people".[5] It was also reported that Marigold would have a working relationship with WWE.[6]

2024–present

Marigold hosted their inaugural event, titled "Marigold Fields Forever", on May 20, 2024, at Korakuen Hall in Tokyo.[1][2][3][4] The show, and subsequent shows, were announced as streaming on Wrestle Universe.[1][2][3][4] On July 13, at Summer Destiny, Marigold crowned three inaugural champions: Miku Aono won the United National Championship and Natsumi Showzuki won the Super Fly Championship, both determined in a four-woman single-elimination tournament.[7] At the main event of the show, Sareee became the inaugural World Champion by defeating Giulia.[7] The event also saw WWE's Iyo Sky defeating Utami Hayashishita.[7]

Championships

As of June 29, 2025

On May 15, 2024, the promotion announced the creation of four titles, the World, United National, Twin Star and Super Fly Championships alongside the design of the first two of them which, similar to World Wonder Ring Stardom's World and Wonder championships, were bound to continue the "Showa" era tradition carried on from All Japan Women's Pro-Wrestling with a red strap for the main title and a white strap for the secondary one. Additional to the main singles and tag team championships, the Super Fly Championship was introduced as a cruiserweight-type of title made for wrestlers under 121 lbs (55 kg).[8]
