Can't imagine this was the plan 3 months ago when she won her first title and immediately had to drop it.

Let me be the first to say: FUUUUUUUU-

Well shit. Any known reason why she's retiring or is it seemingly the usual "eh i'm still walking, time to quit!"?

Edit: Just 'time to quit' possibly. Wrestling 10 years, and someone else mentioned she's quitting acting at the end of the year as well. Might be the ol 'time to settle down'.

It's a damn shame, it's very surprising given how hard she was pushing back against the narrative that being older she had a shorter career life expectancy.

I can't help but assume this wasn't a known intention behind the scenes when they had a new entrance music made for Free WiFi and gave them the belts (which they were ostensibly supposed to win from MagiRabi if Yuka had been healthy), and I really wonder how much whatever is going on with Noa impacted this.

Either way, the Hikari Noa tag partner curse persists.
