Stardom kicked off the 15th Goddess Of Stardom Tag League today, the promotion’s annual tag team tournament.
Today’s event was held at Korakuen Hall in Tokyo and can be watched on demand on Stardom World. You can also watch the first 3 matches FOR FREE on YouTube.
The paid attendance has not yet been announced, which based on recent history suggests it will not be announced.
