Three titles are on the line at Marigold Grand Destiny.

Marigold announced a seismic main event for their upcoming Grand Destiny event scheduled to take place on October 24th at the Ryugoku Kokugikan in Tokyo. The match in question will see the Marigold World Champion, Miku Aono, the Marigold United National Champion, Victoria Yuzuki, and the Marigold Superfly Champion, Mayu Iwatani, battle eachother in a three-way contest where the winner will win all three belts. The belts will not be unified, moreover the winner will continue to reign with all the gold.

In a statement made via his X account, Marigold’s President Rossy Ogawa made the following announcement.

“Following the matches at the Korakuen Hall event, the main (event) for the October 24 event at Ryogoku Kokugikan will feature a three-belt title match between Miku Aono, Victoria Yuzuki, and Mayu Iwatani. Although this is a triple-title match, it is not a unification bout; rather, the winner takes all three belts. Rather than featuring guest wrestlers from overseas, the event will prominently showcase a battle for the titles among the top three stars of Marigold.”

-Rossy Ogawa

Heading into this staggeringly massive match, Miku Aono and Victoria Yuzuki will enter having held their respective belts for 363 days each while Mayu Iwatani will have held her’s for 519. During Aono’s reign, she has defended her belt six times, Yuzuki five times, and Iwatani seven.

While Marigold has a few promising young talents on their roster like Yuuka Yamazaki, Shinno, and the soon to be returning super rookie Seri Yamaoka, it’s fair to say that their roster isn’t on the same roster as STARDOM, Sendai Girls, or TJPW. Two things that have plagued Marigold pretty much since its inception are injuries to key talent and other talent leaving. Two of the three women in this match, Yuzuki and Iwatani, have each missed significant time this year, while it was recently announced that Mai Sakurai will be leaving the company all together on October 24. The only Marigold original to have come from STARDOM that remains is Yuzuki.
