Tokyo Sports is reporting that STARDOM talent Starlight Kid is sidelined after injuring her shoulder at an indie event on March 10.
Starlight was part of a Falls Count Anywhere trios match with Mei Seira and AZM against Hazuki, Mayu Iwatani, and Saya Iida.
The shoulder injury prevented Starlight from competing at a Strong Style Pro Wrestling event on March 13.
Starlight wrestled on March 15, defending the Wonder Of Stardom Title against Konami. However, she is now taking time off.
Starlight tweeted (translated), “I’m going to take a little break. The ring would be unthinkable without the Wonder & Artist Champion! So I hope to recover quickly and get back in the ring. I’m also sorry about the Kamiya match. Whenever it’s safe, I’ll do it. But I will be at autograph sessions and events, so I would be happy if you came to see me.”
ちょっとお休みを頂くことになりました🙇♂️
ワンダー&アーティストチャンピオンが不在のリングなんてありえなーい！
なので、早く治してリングに戻ります🐯上谷戦に関してもごめんなさい。
万全になったら必ず。でもサイン会やイベントなどは出ますので会いに来てくれたら嬉しいです😭#SLK… https://t.co/YGUi6FjMOd
