MIRAI to Face Tomoka Inaba in Her First Match as a Freelancer Nov. 29

By: Noah Leatherland

MIRAI finished up her obligations with Marigold earlier this week. She has already got to work setting up her first match on the freelance circuit. She is set to face off with her former tag team partner, Tomoka Inaba.

The news came at the end of today’s Tomoka Inaba Produce show. Following the main event, MIRAI made a surprise appearance, confronting Inaba. A match between the two has been set for JTO’s show on November 29th.

MIRAI and Inaba are very familiar with each other. The duo were rookies in the KAIENTAI Dojo, learning under the tutelage of TAKA Michinoku. Together, they joined the God’s Eye stable in STARDOM. As a team, they reached the finals of the tournament that crowned the New Blood Tag Team Championships. MIRAI and Inaba have not previously faced off in singles competition.

As well saying her goodbyes to Marigold in the ring, MIRAI also posted a farewell message on her X account.

Memories with Mai Sakurai,
Memories at Marigold,
The more I write, the more it feels like the end.
I just couldn’t bring myself to post it.
It’s not the end.
Believing the day will come when we meet again in ring.
I’m stepping out into my new pro-wrestling life.
I love you all!
See you soon.
