Stardom wrapped up the 2025 5STAR GP today with the Semifinals and Finals.
Today’s event was held at Ota City General Gym in Tokyo and can be watched on demand as a PPV on Stardom World for 4400 Japanese yen (around $31 US) until 9/1. After that it should be available without additional purchase for all monthly subscribers. You can also watch the first match FOR FREE on YouTube.
The paid attendance has not yet been announced. (UPDATE: The announced paid attendance was 2856)
Pre-show match: Momo Kohgo & Yuria Hime beat Lady C & Kiyoka Kokatsu, Emi Maishima & Kikyo Furusawa and Azusa Inaba & Fukigen in a 4-way when Hime beat Maishima.
Match 1: Saya Kamitani, Natsuko Tora & Ruaka beat Bea Priestley, Hanan & Saya Iida. Kamitani pinned Iida after Star Crusher.
Match 2: 5STAR GP Semifinals: AZM beat Rina.
Match 3: 5STAR GP Semifinals: Momo Watanabe beat Saori Anou.
Match 4: Natsupoi, Aya Sakura & Sayaka Kurara beat Waka Tsukiyama, HANAKO & Rian. Sakura pinned Tsukiyama.
Match 5: Yuna Mizumori beat Mei Seira & Saki Kashima in a 3-way by pinning Kashima.
Match 6: Suzu Suzuki, Rina Yamashita & Akira Kurogame beat Hazuki, Koguma & Dark Sileta (CMLL). Yamashita pinned Koguma after Splash Mountain.
Match 7: Ami Sohrei & Tomoka Inaba beat Starlight Kid & Miyu Amasaki. Inaba beat Amasaki.
Match 8: Future Of Stardom Champion Hina beat Ranna Yagami by submission to retain the title. V6 for Hina. That means if she gets one more, she will be 3rd all time in successful defenses in a reign behind only her sisters Hanan & Rina. Currently she is tied for 3rd.
Match 9: IWGP Women’s Champion Sareee beat Konami to retain the title. V1 for Sareee.
Main Event: 5STAR GP Finals: Momo Watanabe beat AZM to win the tournament. As a result, Watanabe will presumably get a World Of Stardom Championship match after the upcoming Saya Kamitani-Bea Priestley title match. If Kamitani retains then it could well be an all-H.A.T.E. affair. Nice.
The next event is 9/6 at Yokohama Budokan in Yokohama. Broadcast plans TBA but with Kamitani-Priestley set and Natsuko Tora vs. Mayumi Ozaki I’m thinking it will be another PPV.
UPDATE: The post-tournament presser is being held, updates to follow but coming out of it is Wonder Of Stardom Champion Starlight Kid vs. Tomoka Inaba for the title, which has been added to 9/6.
Just added after this update was posted: CMLL Japan Women’s Champion Dark Sileta vs. Koguma for the title has been announced for 9/10 at Korakuen Hall.
Also a correction to above: For winning the 5STAR GP Momo Watanabe does get a title shot, but it’s her choice and not necessarily World Of Stardom.
Next up for Hina & the Future Of Stardom Championship: Yuria Hime. That match will happen on 9/10. Also official for 9/10: High Speed Champion Mei Seira vs. Yuna Mizumori for the title and Artist Of Stardom Champions Starlight Kid, AZM & Miyu Amasaki vs. Konami, Rina & Fukigen for the titles. This match was originally planned for 7/5 but was cancelled at the time due to a Rina injury.
Next up for Sareee for the IWGP Women’s Championship: Suzu Suzuki. That match will happen on 9/6.
UPDATE 2: Bea Priestley will be staying with Stardom for the near future. It’s not known if she signed with the promotion but she will be affiliated with them.
