Mina Shirakawa is returning to America.
The STARDOM star announced the news on August 4 and noted that she would be missing the STARDOM 5 STAR Grand Prix tournament due to her return to America.
In a tweet, Mina Shirakawa commented on the news by noting that she made the choice because she did not want to regret it later. She stated that she would do her best to take on the challenge.
Further details are currently unclear.
Shirakawa competed on AEW programming heading into AEW x NJPW Forbidden Door. She was involved in a storyline with AEW Women’s World Champion Toni Storm and Mariah May. She then unsuccessfully challenged Storm for the title at the pay-per-view.
Bryan Danielson On Mina Shirakawa
Bryan Danielson recently praised Mina Shirakawa. Speaking with Justin Barrasso of Sports Illustrated, he shared his thoughts on her.
“Mina Shirakawa, she has done an incredible job in terms of getting over as a personality on AEW TV,” Bryan Danielson said. “Her personality just bleeds through the screen, right? I’m excited for her match at Forbidden Door with Toni Storm.”
“I have said hi to her maybe twice–there really hasn’t been any conversation, but I was watching Dynamite in Tony’s office the other night, and we both remarked at how she does such a good job,” Danielson said. “Whatever the cultural differences or language barriers, it makes no difference. The Toni Storm-Mariah May-Mina story is so compelling.”
WrestleZone will provide more information as it becomes available.
