She’ll continue with the promotion.

There were multiple departure-related announcements from within the Ice Ribbon promotion. Mio Shirai, Saran, Nanae Furukawa and Mifu Ashida are all leaving Ice Ribbon on December 31st. 

In a statement following those talents publicly revealing their intentions to leave, Ice Ribbon shared that Yuki Mashiro ended her contract with the promotion, but she’ll remain working with them as a freelancer. Mashiro is the current ICE Cross Infinity Champion. 

There was a press conference held and she expressed her gratitude to the wrestlers, staff and President of Ice Ribbon. 

Circling back to the aforementioned departures, they’ll all switch to being under contract to Ice Ribbon’s parent company, Neoplus. They’ll remain under contract to Neoplus until their departures in December. As for Ice Ribbon talents that are continuing with the promotion, they’ll switch over to Neoplus contracts as well.

Kazuto Goto, the representative for Ice Ribbon Co., Ltd. has been in poor health and as a result, wages have been unpaid and delayed.
