Main Event: Stephanie Vaquer (CMLL) beat STRONG Women’s Champion Giulia to win the title. Vaquer becomes the 3rd STRONG Women’s Champion. That seems to make the rumors official-it’s over for Giulia in Stardom. No V10 as champion either. She is reportedly headed to former Stardom producer Rossy Ogawa’s new promotion to help get it started then possibly to WWE. But before Giulia could leave, the Oedo Corps faction rushed out for a big beatdown on Giulia until Tam Nakano made the save. It sounds like the question now is whether or not Nakano will get to fight her rival-Giulia-one more time before they part ways. As for new champion Vaqyer, she has thrown down the open challenge gauntlet for anyone, anywhere.

The next event is Saturday at Atelier Himeji in Hyogo. It will be available on demand on Stardom World at a later date, but there are reports they will try to have the video up the following day.
