Stardom 7/27/25 Results

Stardom kicked off the 2025 5STAR GP Tournament today, the annual major single tournament which hopefully will be free of the massive controversy that engulfed last year’s tournament where, despite going winless, Tam Nakano still got a World Of Stardom Championship shot and won the title ending Natsuko Tora’s first reign after only a couple weeks, thus screwing winner Saya Kamitani who even went to far as to complain to pseudo-boss Hiroshi Tanahashi (now President of New Japan, which owns Stardom) although in the end she got her chance, won the title and ended Nakano’s career. This year’s tournament is the largest to date with 32 total participants.

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 $30 US).
