Stardom runs a second event today in Tokyo, albeit with much less star power than yesterday due to several wrestlers headed to the US for the All Elite Wrestling “Forbidden Door” PPV tomorrow. With no title matches today, it still leaves plenty of chances to shine for those who will be part of the event. There also will be a fan event afterwards.
The following wrestlers will all miss today’s event: Tam Nakano, Mina Shirakawa, Momo Watanabe (all in US), Suzu Suzuki (injured), Saori Anou (unknown).
Today’s event will be held at Shinjuku Sumitomo Hall in Tokyo and can be watched LIVE on Stardom World. There will likely be no commentary. You can also watch the first match FOR FREE on YouTube. There are 6 matches today and with no title matches, it’ll probably be a shorter event than yesterday and probably run closer to 2 hours. Also, because I’ll be simulcasting as this event starts during the DDT event also going on today, I might miss a couple of results here & there.
Today’s lineup (match order TBA):
Maika & HANAKO vs. Saya Kamitani & Rian and Saya Iida & Momo Kohgo in a 3-way
Gina vs. Aya Sakura
Waka Tsukiyama vs. Lady C & Sayaka Kurara in a 3-way
Ami Sohrei & Saki Kashima vs. Natsupoi & Yuna Mizumori
Syuri, Konami, Ranna Yagami & Hina vs. Natsuko Tora, Thekla, Rina & Ruaka
Starlight Kid, AZM, Mei Seira & Miyu Amasaki vs. Mayu Iwatani, Hazuki, Koguma & Hanan

9 PM PT UPDATE: Live updates begin now.
We are LIVE from Shinjuku Sumitomo Hall in Tokyo, Japan. There is no commentary.
The paid attendance will be announced sometime later today. This is the first time I’m seeing this venue used for wrestling. It looks like a small setup but what we do see is mostly full, so I’m going to guess it’ll be close to 300 and possibly a sellout regardless of the number. (Not a sellout actually, one section was only about half full) (UPDATE: The announced paid attendance was 346)
The matches begin after the opening card announcement.
