AJPW
~ Suwama formally announced the establishment of a new women's pro-wrestling group under the banner of Evolution (Evolution Co. Ltd as the subsidiary). Suwama will be the producer for this project with Shuji Ishikawa also being on board to help out.
Suwama originally announced "Evolution Girls" roughly 2 years ago and press conference last year to announce that he is looking to establish a female division in the near future, though from what I can gather this is being done completely outside of All Japan Pro-Wrestling. Though Suwama looks to showcase trainees on the All Japan 50th Anniversary show on September 18th at the Nippon Budokan.
