Stardom ran the penultimate event of the 5STAR GP today with the post-blocks first round and Quarterfinals.

Today’s event was held at Korakuen Hall in Tokyo and can be watched on demand on Stardom World. You can also watch the full event FOR FREE on YouTube.

The paid attendance was not announced but it may have been a legit sellout with standing room only tickets sold today. (UPDATE: The announced paid attendance was 1589, a legit sellout)

5STAR GP Round 1:
Match 1: Suzu Suzuki beat Bozilla.
Match 2: AZM beat Hanan.
Match 3: Momo Watanabe beat Ami Sohrei.
Match 4: Rina beat Bea Priestley.

Match 5: Yuria Hime & Ema Maishima beat Akira Kurogame & Kikyo Furusawa. Hime beat Furusawa.

5STAR GP Quarterfinals:
Match 6: Saori Anou beat Suzu Suzuki.
Match 7: AZM beat Saya Kamitani. No repeat winner and it means a World Of Stardom Championship shot for the winner.
Match 8: Momo Watanabe beat Sareee.
Main Event: Rina beat Natsupoi.
As a result, the Semifinals are Anou vs. Watanabe and AZM vs. Rina. It could well be all H.A.T.E. in the Finals.

The Semifinals and Finals are Saturday at Ota City General Gym. Live streaming on Stardom World as a PPV for 4400 Japanese yen (around $30 US) will begin at midnight PT/3 AM ET. PPV purchase and viewing will be available until 9/1.

UPDATE: It has been announced by All Elite Wrestling that Bozilla will be the Stardom representative in a 4-way at Sunday’s Forbidden Door PPV against AEW TBS Champion Mercedes Mone, Persephone & Alex Windsor for the title. So while Saturday’s card has not been announced it’s safe to say Bozilla will be off because the AEW/New Japan PPV Sunday is in London, England.

UPDATE 2: The full cards for Saturday and 9/6 at Yokohama Budokan in Yokohama were announced, and there are several title matches between both events: First up, 9/6 will see Kamitani defend the World Of Stardom Championship but not against the 5STAR GP winner. It will be against Bea Priestley. This came about in backstage comments yesterday. Priestley was the only one to beat Kamitani in the preliminary rounds of the tournament. Saturday now has 2 title matches: IWGP Women’s Champion Sareee vs. Konami for the title and Future Of Stardom Champion Hina vs. Ranna Yagami for the title.

Stardom is running the final day of the 5STAR GP preliminary round today, here are the latest in progress results.

Today’s event is being held at Act City Hamamatsu Exhibition Event Hall Block 2 in Shizuoka and can be watched LIVE and on demand on Stardom World. You can also watch the first 3 matches FOR FREE on YouTube.

(A)-Wins block and will advance to Semifinals
(*)-Will finish 2nd or 3rd in block and advance to Quarterfinals

The top 3 in each block advance.
In Red A, Kamitani wins the block and will advance to the Semifinals. Priestley will finish 2nd and is through to the Quarterfinals but will still try to spoil Kamitani’s unbeaten run tomorrow. 3rd depends on Hanan, if she wins her final match tomorrow or goes to a time limit draw (Mizumori), she finishes 3rd and advances. If Mizumori wins or it’s a no point scenario for both, there probably will have to be a tiebreaker match between Hanan & Seira because their head-to-head result was a time limit draw.
In Red B, it’s 4 fighting for 3-AZM has the lead ahead of her final match tomorrow (Kurara) and a win puts her through. The Kid-Natsupoi winner, if there is one, also advances and that also means Rina advances. If it’s a time limit draw, it’s complicated because of tiebreakers. Rina has no tiebreakers because she lost to AZM and Natsupoi plus went to a time limit draw with Kid today. AZM has tiebreaker over Natsupoi & Rina but went to a draw with Kid. Kid’s only loss so far is to Inaba but has the 2 draws. But multi-way ties likely mean the odd one out is Rina.
In Blue A, Anou advanced with her win today and Bozilla is also advancing. Who wins the block will be determined tomorrow when Bozilla faces Sohrei-if Bozilla wins, she goes to the Semifinals. If Sohrei wins, Anou goes to the Semifinals and Sohrei also advances. If a time limit draw, they may need a tiebreaker match because Bozilla-Anou was a draw but Sohrei will advance in 3rd. Also, if Bozilla wins, both Amasaki & Iida have a chance to advance but it can get complicated. The simple ways: On tiebreakers Sohrei beats Iida but Amasaki beats Sohrei. In a 3-way tie, same but Iida beat Amasaki today, so…yeah.
In Blue B it’s also wide open but I’m marking Sareee as advancing because it appears she has all the tiebreakers-her only loss is to Konami and her draw is against Suzuki. Yagami is mathematically alive but has an extremely narrow path in-she must beat Suzuki to have any chance. However, tiebreakers do not favor her so in all straight-up scenarios she is out. After her epic collapse and finishing with 3 straight losses, Watanabe is on the hotseat but can still advance, for that to happen HANAKO must lose her final match (Hina) or Yagami must beat Suzuki and then Watanabe has tiebreakers. HANAKO advances with a win. Suzuki must beat Yagami or have Hina beat HANAKO.

The final day of the preliminary rounds is tomorrow at Act City Hamamatsu Exhibition Event Hall Block 2 in Shizuoka. Live streaming on Stardom World will begin TONIGHT at 9 PM PT/midnight ET.

Stardom continued the 5STAR GP today in Kobe with the Blue Blocks.

Today’s event was held at Kobe Art Center in Kobe and can be watched on demand on Stardom World. You can also watch the first 2 matches FOR FREE on YouTube.

The announced paid attendance was 689.

All matches were 5STAR GP Blue Block matches.

Match 1: Block A: Ruaka beat Yuria Hime.

Match 2: Block B: Ranna Yagami beat Momo Kohgo.

Match 3: Block A: Miyu Amasaki beat Ami Sohrei.

Match 4: Block B: Hina beat Momo Watanabe.

Match 5: Block A: Bozilla beat Saya Iida.

Match 6: Block B: Sareee beat HANAKO.

Match 7: Block B: Suzu Suzuki beat Konami.

Main Event: Block A: Saori Anou beat Aya Sakura.

Standings-wise, Bozilla still leads Block A at 4-0-2, 10 points and will advance as she has clinched a top 3 finish. Anou is 2nd at 4-1-1, 9 points and only needs to avoid an apocalyptic upset loss to winless Hime in her final match to advance, but a time limit draw & point also puts her through. Sohrei is 3rd at 4-2, 8 points and will advance with a win in her final match, but that final match is against Bozilla. If Bozilla beats Sohrei, Ruaka (3-2-1, 7 pts) can slip into 3rd and advance by beating Amasaki in their final match. Amasaki’s only hope to advance is she must beat Ruaka and Sohrei must lose, then Amasaki has tie tiebreaker. Iida is not OUT of contention. Sakura’s gamble of giving up the forfeit over Ruaka in favor of waiting for the match has, at least for Sakura, spectacularly backfired. She is only 1-4, 2 points and now OUT of contention. Had she kept the forfeit and 2 points, she still would have a chance. In Block B, Watanabe & Suzuki still lead at 8 points but Watanabe has now fallen to 4-3 after a 4-0 start, Suzuki is 3-1-2. Sareee & HANAKO are tied for 3rd at 3-1-1, 7 points but today’s result gives Sareee the tiebreaker. Yagami is 3-3, 6 points but still has a chance to advance if she can beat Suzuki. Despite her win today, Hina is OUT as are Konami and Kohgo. The top 3 in each block advance.

The next event is Saturday at Yokohama Budokan in Yokohama with 12 total matches across all blocks. Live streaming on Stardom World will begin Friday at 11:30 PM PT/2:30 AM ET.

Stardom continued the 5STAR GP today with Red Block matches.

Today’s event was held at Okayama Convention Center 3rd Floor Hall in Okayama and can be watched on demand on Stardom World. You can also watch the first 2 matches FOR FREE on YouTube.

Match 2: Block A: Yuna Mizumori beat Waka Tsukiyama.

Match 3: Block A: Azusa Inaba beat Mei Seira.

Match 4: Blue Block A: Ruaka beat Aya Sakura. This was rescheduled from earlier in the tournament when Ruaka had to miss an event and, although originally declared a forfeit win for Sakura, Sakura requested the match be rescheduled instead. She may regret it now.

Match 6: Block B: Tomoka Inaba beat Sayaka Kurara.

Match 7: Block B: Natsupoi beat Rina.

Match 6: Block B: Suzu Suzuki vs. Sareee went to a 15 minute time limit draw.

Match 7: Block A: Saya Iida beat Miyu Amasaki.

Main Event: Block B: HANAKO beat Momo Watanabe.

Standings-wise, Sohrei & Bozilla are tied for the Block A lead, but Sohrei has a 4-1 record while Bozilla has 2 draws with 3 wins, but both are at 8 points. Their 8/17 match could decide the block winner. Anou is 3rd at 3-1-1, 7 points. Iida & Sakura are at 4 points but Iida has 3 matches left while Sakura has 4 so both still are in it. Ruaka has 3 points with 3 matches left so her hopes are now slim but not zero, while Amasaki is in a smilar place at 1-3, 2 points with 3 matches left. Hime is OUT with no points and 3 matches left. In Block B, despite her first loss today Watanabe remains the leader at 4-1, 8 points followed by HANAKO at 3-0-1, 7 points and Suzuki at 2-1-2, 6 points. Sareee is 2-1-1, 5 points followed by Konami & Yagami at 2-3, 4 points. Hina is 1-3, 2 points but is now all but out due to tiebreakers (she’s only beaten Konami) and her only hope is to beat HANAKO & Watanabe as well as Kohgo, is winless and OUT at 0-4, 0 points due to tiebreakers.

The next event is tomorrow at Okayama Convention Center 3rd Floor Convention Hall in Okayama with the Red Blocks. Live streaming on Stardom World will begin TONIGHT at 9 PM PT/midnight ET.
