Stardom is back in Tokyo today for their latest mid-major event, kickstarting the build to their next PPV next week. That really takes off today as AEW wrestler (and former Stardom wrestler) Toni Storm returns to continue her (HL)AEW angle with Mina Shirakawa, who once again is back & forth between AEW & Stardom but teams with Storm today to face Mayu Iwatani & AZM ahead of Storm challenging for the IWGP Women’s Championship next week. There is also a Goddesses Of Stardom Championship match scheduled as Momo Watanabe & Thekla defend the titles against Syuri & Saki Kashima.
Today’s event will be held at Korakuen Hall in Tokyo and can be watched LIVE on Stardom World. It’s not yet known if there will be any commentary. How long the event will run may depend on if there’s an intermission, otherwise with 7 matches and Stardom title matches having a 30 minute time limit I would expect this event to be a “normal” Korakuen event and run about 2 1/2 hours. If there’s an intermission, maybe it’ll be closer to 3 hours. (Late update: You can also watch the first match FOR FREE on YouTube)
Today’s lineup (match order TBA):
Natsupoi, Yuna Mizumori & Aya Sakura vs. Konami, Rina & Azusa Inaba
Momo Kohgo vs. HANAKO
Maika, Gina, Waka Tsukiuyama & Rian vs. Starlight Kid, Mei Seira, Miyu Amasaki & Suzu Suzuki and Hina, Lady C, Ranna Yagami & Tomoka Inaba in a 3-way
Tam Nakano, Saori Anou & Sayaka Kurara vs. Natsuko Tora, Saya Kamitani & Ruaka
Hazuki & Hanan vs. Koguma & Saya Iida
Nayu Iwatani & AZM vs. Toni Storm & Mina Shirakawa
Goddesses Of Stardom Champions Momo Watanabe & Thekla vs. Syuri & Saki Kashima for the titles

Updates below will begin at 7:30 PM PT/10:30 PM ET.
7:26 PM PT UPDATE: Live updates begin now.
We are LIVE from Korakuen Hall in Tokyo, Japan. There is no commentary.
The paid attendance will be announced later today. Crowd still filing in, the opposite-hard camera bleacher side is already about full, the sides are a mixed bag while reserved seats are maybe half full right now. If this holds my guess will be it’ll be around 800. UPDATE: The announced paid attendance was 1176. Didn’t look like it but maybe a late arriving crowd.
The event will begin shortly. The match order listed above is the official order today.
The matches begin at 7:33 PM PT/10:33 PM ET.

Result: Koguma & Saya Iida beat Hazuki & Hanan. Koguma pinned Hazuki after a diving body press. Almost went the distance. Koguma promo afterwards, very emotional after beating her regular tag team partner, they are former Goddesses Of Stardom Champions. Apparently it’s also Hazuki’s birthday as she had the crowd sing for her too.
