STARDOM CRIMSON NIGHTMARE 2025, the promotion’s latest blowout event today full of H.A.T.E., is in the books.
Today’s event was held at Ota City General Gym in Tokyo and can be watched on demand as a PPV on Stardom World. It will be un-paywalled for monthly paying subscribers in a week or so. You can also watch the first match FOR FREE on YouTube.
The paid attendance has not yet been announced.
Match 1: Rian beat Ranna Yagami, Kikyo Furusawa & Fukigen in a 4-way by pinning Fukigen.
Match 2: Natsupoi, Saori Anou, Yuna Mizumori, Aya Sakura & Sayaka Kurara beat Syuri, Lady C, Ami Sohrei, Hina & Kiyoka Kokatsu and Suzu Suzuki, Rina Yamashita, Itsuki Aoki, Akira Kurogame and Ema Maishima in a 3-way when Anou pinned Sohrei.
Match 3: AZM & Miyu Amasaki beat Waka Tsukiyama & HABAKO. AZM pinned Tsukiyama after Azumi Sushi.
Match 4: Saya Iida, Momo Kohgo & Bea Priestley beat Natusko Tora, Ruaka & Rina. Priestley pinned Rina after Plan Bea.
Match 5: Bozilla beat Saki Kashima by submission/giving up.
Match 6: High Speed Champion Mei Seira beat Hazuki to retain the title. V9 for Seira. Based on this and a prior result, they may have done away with Seira’s new rules for title matches (3 falls in 10 minute time limit) and reverted to the prior rules (1 fall in 15 minute time limit).
Match 7: Konami beat Wonder Of Stardom Champion Starlight Kid to win the title. Konami becomes the 25th Wonder Of Stardom Champion. Which means, not counting the New Blood-specific titles, all the Stardom titles are now held by the heel faction. Embrace The H.A.T.E.
Main Event: World Of Stardom Champion & STRONG Women’s Champion Saya Kamitani beat Momo Watanabe to retain the titles. World V7 & STRONG V1 for Kamitani. The reign of our PHENEX QUEEN continues. It sounds like she is headed to her Tokyo Dome debut with New Japan on 1/4 with both titles. I am very excited for that potentially happening.
The next event is Friday at Korakuen Hall to kick off the 15th Goddess Of Stardom Tournament, the promotion’s annual tag team tournament. Broadcast plans TBA, it will be live on Stardom World but it may be another PPV.
UPDATE: Risa Sera also appeared during the event and requested Suzu Suzuki be her opponent for her retirement match on 1/12. Nothing definite yet.
UPDATE 2: The participating tournament teams will be announced at a press conference tomorrow at 2 AM PT/5 AM ET, which can be watched FOR FREE on YouTube.
And while mot yet official, New Japan suggests the opponent for Kamitani on 1/4 at Tokyo Done could be Syuri and it could be for the IWGP Women’s Championship and STRONG Women’s Championship. We may know soon as a 1/4 presser is scheduled for tonight at 9 PM PT/midnight ET. It can be watched FOR FREE on New Japan World and YouTube.
UPDATE 3: It’s now official. It will be for both the IWGP & STRONG Women’s Championships but, at this time, not the World Of Stardom Championship if Kamitani is still champion.
