Stardom continues the 5STAR GP today in Tochigi, with another event focusing on the Blue Blocks. All Blue wrestlers are in action today, but there will also be one Red Block match. In that Red A match, Itsuki Aoki will try to stay unbeaten against Rina and clinch a spot in the playoffs (if Aoki wins, only Maika and AZM would be able to catch her and only AZM would be able to finish 1st ahead of her. Aoki’s last 2 matches after this? Ironically, Maika and AZM). Highlight Blue bouts today include Suzu Suzuki vs. Rian, Hanan vs. Ami Sohrei and Starlight Kid vs. Momo Watanabe.
Today’s event will be held at Light Cube Utsumomiya in Tochigi and can be watched LIVE on Stardom World. There will be no commentary. There are 9 matches tonight, all 15 minute time limit, so that extra match and intermission means this event should run a little longer than yesterdays with an expected running time of about 2 1/2 hours.
Today’s lineup (match order TBA, all matches are 5STAR GP matches):
Blue A:
Suzu Suzuki vs. Rian
Aya Sakura vs. Miyu Amasaki
Hina vs. HANAKO
Ruaka vs. Julia Hart
Blue B:
Yuna Mizumori vs. Koguma
Saya Kamitani vs. Kikyo Furusawa
Starlight Kid vs. Momo Watanabe
Hanan vs. Ami Sohrei
Red A: Itsuki Aoki vs. Rina

Updates below will begin at 9 PM PT/midnight ET.
Pre-show Update: You will also be able to watch the first 2 matches FOR FREE on YouTube. Back on the main Stardom Global channel today.
8:35 PM PT UPDATE: The live stream has begun. We should be going to the venue in 25 minutes.
8:50 PM PT UPDATE: Live updates begin now.
We are LIVE from Light Cube Utsunomiya in Tochigi, Japan. There is no commentary.
The paid attendance may or may not be announced after the event. Advance ticket sales suggest at least a near sellout and they might get full with same-day sales. It’s a small venue so based on what I know I’ll predict about 400 and a sellout.
The show begins early with a special guest, I saw it on the socials. I think it’s the former manager of a Japanese pro baseball team. He’s in the ring with Hanan & Hina.
The matches should begin in about 15 minutes.
Today’s lineup announced. Kamitani-Furusawa & Rian-Suzuki will be the first matches and on YouTube. Stardom’s English social media actually got the main event right today, it’s Aoki-Rina.
The matches begin at 9:07 PM PT/12:07 AM ET. All matches are 5STAR GP matches, 15 minute time limit.
Match 1: Blue B: Saya Kamitani vs. Kikyo Furusawa
Result: Saya Kamitani beat Kikyo Furusawa by submission
Kamitani is 2-0-1, 5 pts. Furusawa is 0-5, 0 pts and is now OUT (cannot advance).
Match 2: Blue A: Suzu Suzuki vs. Rian
Result: Suzu Suzuki beat Rian
Suzuki is 4-0, 8 pts. Rian is 0-4, 0 pts and there is a very slim chance of elimination today (based on the subsequent results, that will not happen). Because of this result, Rian can’t win the block.
The YouTube broadcast ends here.
Match 3: Blue A: Aya Sakura vs. Miyu Amasaki
Result: Miyu Amasaki beat Aya Sakura
Amasaki is 2-3, 4 pts. Sakura is 2-2, 4 pts. Amasaki can’t win the block because she lost to Suzuki.
Match 4: Blue A: Ruaka vs. Julia Hart (All Elite Wrestling)
Result: Ruaka beat Julia Hart
Ruaka is 3-1, 6 pts. Hart is 2-1, 4 pts.
Match 5: Blue B: Yuna Mizumori vs. Koguma
In progress.
