At the end of 2021, Suzuki aligned herself with Mochi Miyagi, Risa Sera, Akane Fujita and Hiragi Kurumi in the Prominence stable after their contract with Ice Ribbon expired, leaving them to wander as freelance wrestlers.[8] On April 24, 2023, Suzuki announced that she was leaving Prominence.[9]

[edit]

Suzuki made her Pro Wrestling Wave debut on July 1, 2020 in a tag team match in which she and Haruka Umesaki defeated Ayumi Hayashi and Crea.[10]

Suzuki returned to Wave on February 13, 2022 in a tag team match where she and Risa Sera defeated Hibiscus Mii and Yuki Miyazaki.[11] In May through July of 2022, Suzuki competed in the 2022 Catch the Wave tournament.[12] She competed in Future Block qualifier block, in which she scored six points and advanced to the Winners Block. In her Winner Block, Suzuki scored four points, which allowed to advance to the finals. On July 17, Suzuki won the tournament and became the Wave Single Champion by defeating Miyuki Takase in the finals.[13] On August 14, Suzuki lost the Wave Single Championship to Hikaru Shida.[14]

World Wonder Ring Stardom (2022–present)

[edit]
Suzuki on the second night of the Stardom World Climax 2022 of March 27.

Suzuki made her first appearance in World Wonder Ring Stardom at its first pay-per-view of 2022, Nagoya Supreme Fight, on January 29, where Prominence picked a fight with the Donna Del Mondo stable, subsequently starting a feud with them, especially against the unit's leader Giulia.[15] On the first night of the World Climax 2022 on March 26, Suzuki teamed up with her Prominence stablemate Risa Sera to defeat Donna Del Mondo (Maika and Thekla).[16] On the second night of the event from March 27, she teamed up with her stablemates Akane Fujita, Mochi Miyagi and Risa Sera in a losing effort against Donna Del Mondo (Giulia, Himeka, Maika and Thekla).[17] At New Blood 2 on May 13, Suzuki picked up a victory over Mai Sakurai.[18] At Stardom in Showcase vol.1 on July 23, she teamed up with Risa Sera to face Giulia and Mai Sakurai in a hardcore match, winning in a dominant fashion and continuing the Prominence/DDM feud.[19] Suzuki competed in the 2022 Grand Prix, earning 15 points in the Blue Stars block, which was enough to reach the finals of her block on October 1, where she lost to Giulia.[20] At Dream Queendom 2 on December 29, Suzuki teamed up with Risa Sera and Hiragi Kurumi and defeated Oedo Tai (Starlight Kid, Momo Watanabe and Saki Kashima) to win the Artist of Stardom Championship.[21]

In January through March of 2023, Suzuki teamed up with Prominence stablemates Hiragi Kurumi and Risa Sera to compete in the Triangle Blue block of the Triangle Derby I.[22] On March 4, Prominence won the tournament by defeating Abarenbo GE in the finals.[23] At All Star Grand Queendom on April 23, Prominence lost the Artist of Stardom Championship to REStart.[24] On April 30, Suzuki teamed up with Mei Seira in a draw against Queen's Quest (AZM and Saya Kamitani).[25] Following this, Suzuki and Seira would continue to frequently team with each other and later started to go by the team name Crazy Star.[26] At Flashing Champions 2023 on May 27, Crazy Star teamed up with Maika to defeat Neo Stardom Army (Nanae Takahashi and Yuna Mizumori) and Hanako.[27] Following this, Suzuki would continue to frequently team up with various members of Donna Del Mondo in tag team matches, especially Maika. In July through September, Suzuki competed in and won the 2023 5Star Grand Prix by defeating Maika in the finals.[28] At Nagoya Golden Fight on October 9, Suzuki, Maika and Megan Bayne teamed up to challenge the Baribari Bombers for the Artist of Stardom Championship.[29] During the match, there were several instances of miscommunication between Suzuki and Maika, which led to the Baribari Bombers winning.[29] In an after-match promo, Maika blamed Suzuki for the loss and promised to defeat Suzuki, which effectively meant the end of Suzuki teaming with Donna Del Mondo.[29] From October 15 to November 12, Crazy Star competed in the 2023 Goddesses of Stardom Tag League.[30] They reached the finals, where they lost to Divine Kingdom (Maika and Megan Bayne).[26][31]

On March 30, 2024, Crazy Star won the Goddesses of Stardom Championship by defeating AphroditE.[32] On May 5, they lost the Goddesses of Stardom Championship to FWC.[33]
