Marigold and WWE are expected to work together.
Rossy Ogawa was pleased to have the encouragement of WWE CCO Paul ‘Triple H’ Levesque, who helped push him into creating the Marigold Wrestling promotion.
Marigold was announced in April 2024 and held its first event in May. The promotion is the latest creation from Ogawa who was founded STARDOM and ran the company until his termination earlier this year. Ogawa was fired by STARDOM’s parent company Bushiroad over allegations he was poaching talent for a new promotion.
Meeting With Triple H
While Ogawa denied the claim that he was trying to coax talent away from STARDOM, some of the promotion’s top stars have since joined Marigold. Speaking to NumberWeb, Ogawa recalled a meeting with Levesque in late 2023 and the encouragement he received from WWE’s CCO.
“Triple H told me, ‘I want to help you with whatever you want to do, whether it’s with Stardom or as a solo artist.’ He gave me the push I needed.”
