The appearance adds to what has been a busy run in Japan for Rose. According to F4WOnline, she has been in the country since May 5, working for Marvelous as well as Tenryu Project. In Marvelous, Rose and Nightshade won the AAAW Tag Team Championship during the promotion’s 10th anniversary show.
Rose has not wrestled on AEW or ROH programming since November 2024, which naturally led to speculation about her status. However, at least for now, her move to Marigold does not mean she is leaving the company.
It remains unclear whether AEW plans to use Rose again on its programming after this stint in Japan. Her biggest highlight in the company remains her AEW Women’s World Championship reign.
