WWE's new era will see the company form a working relationship with Rossy Ogawa's new Marigold wrestling promotion, it has been reported.

Ogawa, the recently-fired founder of STARDOM is hoping to bring stars including IYO SKY and Kairi Sane to a Marigold event expected to take place this summer. Whether that happens or not, the Wrestling Observer Newsletter reports that a working agreement will be in place between the two companies.

The main star who'll benefit from this working agreement is Giulia, who is expected to sign with WWE in the near future. The former NJPW Strong Women's Champion is expected to compete for both WWE and Marigold before an eventual move to the U.S. Giulia, who appeared at NXT Stand & Deliver alongside Ogawa, is expected to appear on a few big Marigold events per year in addition to her full-time WWE commitments.

Giulia is set to appear at Marigold's debut event in May 2024 alongside a talented roster of women including NXT alum Sareee. Her WWE in-ring debut is expected to be at July's NXT Heatwave event, possibly with championship gold on the line.

WWE forging a working agreement with Marigold, one that'll seemingly last for multiple years, is a massive change from how the previous administration did business. In stark contrast to Vince McMahon's 'don't play well with others' approach, WWE is said to be exploring forging working relationships with other companies and Tony Khan has said that he'd be interested in a WWE-AEW partnership, under the right circumstances.

A great idea.
