Stardom finishes up their weekend tripleheader today in Tokyo, headlined by the last 4-way match that will fill out the International Women’s Cup 4-way match at WRESTLE DYNASTY on 1/5 at the Tokyo Dome. The winner today will represent Stardom against All Elite Wrestling, Ring Of Honor & CMLL and, based on the participants, I would call anyone but Syuri winning an upset as she’s up against Suzu Suzuki, Tomoka Inaba & Momo Watanabe. Anyone could win of course but I don’t see any of them beating Syuri, although Watanabe is the wild card because of potential H.A.T.E. interference. Also, after returning yesterday, Thekla apparently had her 3 week suspension lifted a couple days early as it was to go through today but she is on the card.
Today’s event will be held at Tama Mirai Messe in Tokyo and can be watched LIVE on Stardom World (the new relaunch mainly was a re-do of the website and the video archives with no real changes to streaming and still some issues present from before, albeit minor ones). There will be no commentary. The 4-way will have no time limit and there are 7 matches total, yesterday’s event ran a big longer than I predicted so today I’ll guess the event’s running time will be about 2 1/4 hours.
Today’s lineup (match order TBA):
Yuna Mizumori vs. Rian
AZM vs. Waka Tsukiyama & Aya Sakura in a 3-way
Mayu Iwatani, Hazuki & Koguma vs. Saki Kashima, Hina & Ranna Yagami
Hanan, Saya Iida & Matoi Hamabe vs. Konami, Rina & Thekla
Natsupoi, Sayaka Kurara & Momo Kohgo vs. Mei Seira, Starlight Kid & Miyu Amasaki
Tam Nakano, Saori Anou & Maika vs. Natsuko Tora, Saya Kamitani & Ruaka
International Women’s Cup Qualifier: Syuri vs. Suzu Suzuki, Tomoka Inaba & Momo Watanabe in a 4-way

8 PM PT UPDATE: Live updates begin now.
We are LIVE from Tama Mirai Messe in Tokyo, Japan. There is no commentary.
The paid attendance will be announced sometime tomorrow. Looks like a similar setup to Tokyo Joshi Pro yesterday and mostly full from what I can see. That has me thinking it’ll be around 400. (UPDATE: The announced paid attendance was 489)
