With yesterday seeing Stardom co-founder Rossy Ogawa launch his new Marigold promotion, it sounds as if this new company could have some sort of working relationship with WWE.

In an interview with Tokyo Sports (via WrestlingHeadlines), Ogawa noted how he's got a good relationship with WWE and that an announcement could be on the way where it pertains to Marigold working with the market leader.

As Rossy explained:

"[WWE] has been very good to me. I think they're buying into what I've been doing to raise IYO [SKY], Kairi [Sane], and Giulia. [A] relationship with WWE? I think there will be some kind of announcement from the other side in the future."

Ogawa added:

"I'd like to invite players from the other side. I'd like to be able to do something like that."

This interview would also see Rossy Ogawa say that "maybe" Marigold will become some sort of WWE feeder system in the future.

Of course, Ogawa was shown on camera at NXT Stand and Deliver, where he was alongside Giulia and William Regal. Rossy was also in attendance across WrestleMania Weekend.

As for Giulia, she'll be joining WWE once she's helped Ogawa launch Marigold, with the former World of Stardom Champion present at yesterday's press conference to formally kick things off for Marigold.
