Stardom kicks off a weekend doubleheader in Tokyo today, events that build towards title shots coming out of last week’s 14th Anniversary event. With Neo Genesis emerging as the victorious faction in a tournament they earned two Stardom title shots of their choice, and set their sights on Stars & Cosmic Angels for the tag team & trios titles. Their hopes of holding all the Stardom titles together could be dashed today though as Miyu Amasaki does have to defend the Future Of Stardom Championship against Azusa Inaba, who will try to bring it back to H.A.T.E. Elsewhere, this weekend also sees the debuts of 2 new wrestlers. starting today as Akira Kurogame will make her debut against Suzu Suzuki. The other new wrestler will debut tomorrow.
Today’s event will be held at Belle Salle Takadanobaba in Tokyo and can be watched LIVE on Stardom World. There will be no commentary. There are currently 6 matches scheduled and they’ll probably squeeze an intermission in somewhere so I think this event will run close to 2 1/4 hours.

Akira Kurogame Debut Match: Akira Kurogame vs. Suzu Suzuki
