Aono is probably best known for her tenure with Actwres girl'Z, promotion in which she made her professional wrestling debut on June 25, 2017, at AgZ Act 21 where she fell short to Natsumi Maki in singles competition.[7] During her time in the promotion, she has won two separate titles. First of them is the AWG Tag Team Championship which she won alongside Kakeru Sekiguchi at AWG Act In Korakuen Hall on August 13, 2021.[8] The other one is the AWG Single Championship, the top title of the company which she won at AWG ACTwrestling in Korakuen Hall on March 12, 2023, by defeating Kouki in the finals of a tournament to win the reactivated title which was previously vacated due to Actwres girl'Z undergoing a rebranding process.[9]

Being a homegrown talent of the promotion, Aono frequently took part in notable events such as the Korakuen Hall event from December 13, 2021, where she teamed up with Kakeru Sekiguchi and Maika Ozaki in a losing effort against Saki, Hikari Shimizu and Yuna Mizumori as a result of a six-woman tag team match.[10] On December 29, 2023, Aono lost the AWG Single Championship to Mari, ending her reign at 292 days.[11]

Ice Ribbon (2019–2022)

edit

Another promotion in which Aono is known for competing in is Ice Ribbon. One of her first bouts in the promotion took place at RibbonMania 2019 on December 31, which was Tequila Saya's retirement match, a gauntlet match in which the latter put herself against 44 opponents. Some of the most notable were Aono herself alongside Hiroe Nagahama, Ken Ohka, Manami Toyota, Ram Kaicho, Tsukasa Fujimoto, Tsukushi, Hiragi Kurumi, Syuri, Matsuya Uno and many others.[12] She took part into the 2nd Kizuna Tournament of August 29, 2020, event in which she teamed up with Mochi Miyagi and fell short to Akane Fujita and Asahi in the first rounds.[13]

She eventually started chasing for various titles promoted by the company. At Ice Ribbon New Ice Ribbon #1142 on August 28, 2021, she teamed up with Nao Ishikawa to unsuccessfully challenge Azure Revolution (Maya Yukihi and Risa Sera) for the International Ribbon Tag Team Championship.[14] At Ice Ribbon New Ice Ribbon #1152 on October 17, 2021, she unsuccessfully challenged Rina Shingaki and Satsuki Totoro in a three-way match for the Triangle Ribbon Championship.[15]

Dream Star Fighting Marigold (2024–present)

edit

Aono joined Dream Star Fighting Marigold with its establishment,[16] and was victorious during Marigold's first show on May 20, 2024, as she defeated Nao Ishikawa.[17] On June 16, Aono entered a four-woman single-elimination tournament to determine the inaugural Marigold United National Champion, however, everytime she faced Mirai at the first round, it ended in a time limit draw. On July 13, at Summer Destiny, Aono defeated Mirai, and then Bozilla in the finals, to be crowned the first champion.[18] on August 19, at Summer Gold Shine, Aono had her first successful title defense against Kouki Amarei.[19]
