Maki Itoh’s TJPW Contract Expired On August 23rd, Is Now A Free Agent

Maki Itoh is now a free agent after her TJPW contract expired last week.

On August 26th, TJPW would issue a statement announcing that they had parted ways with Maki Itoh after her contract expired on August 23rd. In their statement, the company would state that after ‘much discussion’ with Itoh, they had decided not to renew her contract with the promotion.

In a statement following the announcement from TJPW, Maki would say goodbye to TJPW in a social media post.

“With the Korakuen Hall show on August 23, 2025, my contract with TJPW has come to an end. Back when I was struggling as an idol, it was Takagi who discovered me. I wasn’t good at singing or dancing, and I was never that popular-but the one thing I was ever praised for was pro wrestling. Thanks to TJPW, I was able to spend 8 years and 7 months growing and living alongside this company. It’s all because of TJPW and everyone I’ve met along the way. I’ll continue wrestling, so I’m sure we’ll meet again somewhere down the road! I’ll never forget the gratitude I feel toward everyone who has supported me, and I’ll keep treasuring the experience and knowledge I gained here as I move forward. From the bottom of my heart, thank you fuck you all!”
