WWE Superstar Iyo Sky has officially been announced for a huge match outside the Stamford-based promotion. Dream Star Fighting Marigold, which is a Japanese women's wrestling promotion, will be holding its first pay-per-view this summer. The company announced the former WWE Women's Champion for its upcoming event, Summer Destiny, which will be held in July.

The announcement from DSF Marigold has got fans speculating about the Damage CTRL member's future in the Stamford-based promotion and whether she'd be heading back to Japan. Sky has been seen behaving frantically on Monday Night RAW for the last few weeks, which has added fuel to the rumors, with many believing that she might be unhappy with her booking.

However, Iyo Sky is not leaving WWE. The former WWE Women's Champion will compete in Rossy Ogawa's promotion's inaugural event, Summer Destiny, due to a partnership between WWE and Marigold. The two companies have joined hands for a collaboration, under which they will be working together.

Details on Iyo Sky's upcoming match at DSF Marigold

Dream Star Fighting Marigold is a Japanese women's wrestling promotion that was formed in April this year. The Rossy Ogawa-led company will be holding its inaugural pay-per-view next month, where several wrestlers will compete in various matches. The promotion exemplifies the evolution of women's wrestling.

Iyo Sky will battle Utami Hayashishita at Summer Destiny, which will be held at Ryogoku Kokugikan. The spectacular show will take place on July 13, 2024. For those unfamiliar with the name, Utami is a renowned Japanese wrestler who made her mark in Stardom before joining Marigold.

The match between Sky and Hayashishita is being advertised as "Queen of Queen" with the stars being two of the most decorated names in Japanese pro wrestling. This match is reported to be the main event of Marigold's inaugural pay-per-view, Summer Destiny.

The two women will battle each other for the first time, with it being hyped as the ultimate dream match. It remains to be seen how things unfold in the coming weeks.
