STARDOM will be doing yet another press conference in the coming weeks to reveal the full lineups for the 3/26 and 3/27 shows. Executive producer Rossy Ogawa recently gave the strongest hint yet as to who the mystery woman might be. He said her contract will be up soon and he wants her to be part of those March events. He said he will talk more about it at the press conference for those shows. Kairi Sane’s WWE contract expires this month so it’s either an obvious tease or a big swerve. But every indication seems to be that Kairi Sane/Kairi Hojo will be making her long awaited return to STARDOM this year.
