Maki Itoh Among STARDOM Talent Pulled From Las Vegas Shows Due To Visa Delays

Several STARDOM stars won’t be making their scheduled appearances in Las Vegas next week, and visa issues are to blame for the sudden changes.

STARDOM announced that multiple talents, including Maki Itoh, Yuria Hime, and Fuwa-chan, will miss upcoming shows in Las Vegas after unexpected delays in the visa application process. The affected appearances include next Friday’s American Dream 2026 event, with the promotion confirming that an updated card will be revealed soon.

In their announcement, STARDOM made it clear that the situation was out of their control and tied directly to visa processing delays that prevented the wrestlers from traveling to the United States.

“Due to unexpected delays in the visa application process, Maki Itoh, Yuria Hime & Fuwa-chan will no longer be appearing next week in Las Vegas. An updated card for next Friday’s American Dream 2026 show will be announced soon.”

Maki Itoh also addressed fans directly, apologizing for the cancellations and explaining that her team made every effort to resolve the situation before it became final.

“Hello Maki Itoh simps,”

“Due to visa issues, I’ve had to cancel all of my US bookings this April. I’m really sorry to everyone who was looking forward to seeing me.”

She added that despite the setback, the situation was simply beyond her control and tied to broader complications.

“My team did everything we could to try and fix this, but it seems like the world is a bit complicated right now.”

Itoh also reassured fans that her absence won’t be permanent and that she plans to return to the United States in the future.

“But don’t worry I’ll definitely be back in the US!”

With several STARDOM talents now off the Las Vegas lineup, the promotion will have to adjust its upcoming shows quickly. Visa issues have impacted international wrestling appearances before, but losing multiple names at once is a noticeable shift that could change the look of the American Dream 2026 card.
