Marigold Spring Victory Series 2026: Miku Aono vs Utami Hayashishita headlines April 25 card - Full line-up revealed

The Marigold Spring Victory Series 2026 is set to deliver high-octane action on April 25 at Korakuen Hall, headlined by a major world title clash. Champion Miku Aono will make her third title defense against top contender Utami Hayashishita in what promises to be a hard-hitting encounter. The full card will feature two championship matches, including the Marigold World Championship bout, and includes a mix of rising stars and established names, highlighting Marigold’s growing roster strength. Fans can expect intense rivalries, technical brilliance, and dramatic storytelling throughout the event, making it one of the most anticipated wrestling shows of the spring season. Aono defeated Hayashishita on October 26, 2025, to win Marigold’s top prize.


According to Monthly Puroresu, Aono nominated Hayashishita as her challenger on March 29 after teaming with Kouki Amarei to defeat Hayashishita and Gigaton. Aono explained that her decision stemmed from her belief that the former champion had been lacking something recently. She added that she wanted to bring back the same intensity and fire Hayashishita showed when they previously faced each other for the title in 2025, aiming to reawaken that dominant version of her opponent ahead of their upcoming clash.


In another title bout, British Empire Women’s Champion Angel Hayze is set to defend her title against Seri Yamaoka. Yamaoka issued the challenge earlier in the week for the BEW Women’s Championship, setting up a high-stakes showdown between the two stars.

Meanwhile, the event has been hit by injuries, as Mayu Iwatani, Erina Yamanaka, Minami Yuki, and Kizuna Tanaka have all been ruled out and will miss the show.
