STARDOM Supreme Fight in Osaka 2026, the monthly or bi-monthly blowout event, is now in the books.

Today’s event was held at Osaka Prefectural Gym in Osaka and can be watched on demand as a PPV on Stardom World until roughly 2/23. You can also watch the first 4 matches, which includes 2 pre-show matches, FOR FREE on YouTube.

The paid attendance was not announced.

There was a last-minute change to the event due to Hazuki being pulled off the card. Unspecified circumstances but she was there. She was to have teamed with TBA in a 4-way tag match. I have a feeling it was to give her a masked or comedy gimmick.

Pre-show:
Match 1: Momo Kohgo beat Yuna Mizumori, Lady C, Azusa Inaba & Kiyoka Kokatsu in a 5-way by pinning Mizumori. As a result, Kohgo will get the next High Speed Championship shot, meaning a rematch with Mizumori.
Match 2: Hina, Tomoka Inaba & Ranna Yagami beat Sayaka Kurara, Anne Kanaya & Kikyo Furusawa. Hina pinned Kurara after Mad Splash.

PPV:
Match 1: Rina beat Fuwa-chan.

Match 2: Maki Itoh beat Aya Sakura by submission. This apparently was for a “cutest in the world” championship Itoh created and defended, which is an unofficial title.

Match 3: AZM & Miyu Amasaki beat Saya Iida & Yuria Hime, Natsupoi & Saori Anou and Kuidare Hazuki & Billiken (who I’m guessing based on translation are Hazuki & Fukigen/Kaori Yoneyama) in a 4-way when Amasaki pinned Hime.

Match 4: Syuri beat Saki Kashima.

Match 5: In a handicap elimination gauntlet match (win by pinfall, submission or over the top rope), Suzu Suzuki, Rina Yamashita, Itsuki Aoki & Akira Kurogame beat Maika, HANAKO, Xena, Waka Tsukiyama & Rian. Order of elimination: Tsukiyama by Aoki, Xena by Aoki, Aoki by HANAKO, HANAKO & Yamashita together, Suzuki & Maika by time limit draw, Rian by Kurogame. Mi Vida Loca wins. This was changed from a planned 10-woman tag match due to the continued absence of Bozilla (unspecified injury).

Match 6: Goddesses Of Stardom Champions Natsuko Tora & Ruaka beat Hanan & Bea Priestley to retain the titles. Tora pinned Hanan after a swanton bomb. V5 for the champs.

Match 7: Wonder Of Stardom Champion Konami beat Ami Sohrei by submission to retain the title. V3 for Konami. Next up: Hina.

Main Event: World Of Stardom Champion Saya Kamitani beat Starlight Kid to retain the title. V9 for Kamitani. It was briefly stopped due to a Kamitani injury. Dislocated finger. But it was restarted and thankfully our PHENEX QUEEN will continue her reign. Next up: Kurara, who tried and failed to win the title last year around the time Kamitani retired mentor Tam Nakano. But hopefully she will fail again as we continue to Embrace The H.A.T.E. into 2026. Long reign our Queen!

The next evens is 2/15 at Fujisan Messe in Shizuoka. There will be no live broadcast.

UPDATE: After the event, it was announced that Kid & Mei Seira will be headed to Mexico in March. They will participate in CMLL on 3/6 at Arena Mexico in Mexico City and challenge for the CMLL World Women’s Tag Team Championship as part of an all-women’s event. This means they will miss part of the Cinderella Tournament although neither would likely be participating in the tournament. This may be an exchange of sorts as India Sioux (?) & Tabata from CMLL are also headed to Stardom in the near future. More details about the latter are TBA.

UPDATE 2: Tokyo Sports reports that after losing the handicap match, Maika disbanded E Nexus V. She also hinted at perhaps following now-former factionmate Mina Shirakawa to All Elite Wrestling, but also at maybe leaving Stardom and/or becoming a freelancer while also dropping a hint about challenging for teh STRONG Women’s Championship currently held by Syuri.

Stardom ran their second NEW BLOOD event of the month today, finishing up a doubleheader of this month’s sub-label events.

The paid attendance has not yet been announced but it was a legit advance sellout. They did announce yesterday’s attendnace today which was 153 so today will probably be around that.

Match 1: Aya Sakura & Sayaka Kurara beat Mesa & Moe Hisai. Kurara pinned Moe Hisai after Tokimeki Spear. (Stardom’s website incorrectly says it was Sakura who pinned Hisai)

Match 2: Hona & Kiyoka Kokatsu beat Azusa Inaba & Kikyo Furusawa. Kokatsu beat Furusawa with an Achilles lock.

Match 3: Xena beat Rian.

Some post-weekend Stardom news:

First, 2 title matches have been announced for upcoming events-first on 1/21 is Wonder Of Stardom Champion Konami vs. Rina for the title, as the Artist Of Stardom co-champions set their titles and H.A.T.E. alliance aside as Rina challenges for the white belt. Second is on 1/25 which will gave NEW High Speed Champion Yuna Mizumori vs. Yuki Mashiro for the title. Mizumori pulled off a seemingly unimaginable upset in beating Mei Seira for the High Speed Championship on 12/24 but more recently Mashiro pinned Mizumori in a 6-woman tag match leading to this.

Next, the sudden retirement-at Saturday’s event Saki Kashima unexpectedly announced her retirement. Her final match will be on 4/26 at Yokohama Arena in Yokohama, traditionally the promotion’s biggest event of the year. Coming out of this is a Kashina-Syuri match on 2/7, presumably a NON-TITLE match as far as 2-belts Syuri is concerned.

After she was beaten in her Stardom debut match yesterday by her now-opponent, Maki Itoh vs. Aya Sakura has also been announced for 2/7. Sakura further rubbed it in by using Itob’s catchphrase (the cutest in the world…she’s not) against her, a rare time I actually am now rooting for Cosmic Angels. 2/7 also will see an E Nexus V vs. Mi Vida Loca faction match with potentially high stakes. (Suzu Suzuki was absent this weekend due to illness but is expected back for the Risa Sera retirement event which was today, Suzuki is Sera’s final opponent. She should be back in Stardom next weekend)

And finally, as it will not be a one-off but maybe a three-off return, Yuzuki Aikawa’s next return match is set-on 1/21 she will team with Natsupoi & Starlight Kid to face Sakura. Sayaka Kurara & Yuria Hime. This seems to be continuing the path towards Aikawa’s last match in this brief comeback, a match against Hime and perhaps a symbolic torch-passing by the original Stardom OG.

UPDATE: Tokyo Sports reports that, unbeknownst to us until just now, Natsupoi recently got married. Her husband? New Japan wrestler Shingo Takagi. They began dating in 2024 and registered their marriage last year. Takagi stated in the article he would like a child in the future but plans to keep wrestling for a while longer (he’s 43, Natsupoi is 30). So congrats and I guess a warning to those going after Stardom’s fairy…now she has a RAMPAGE DRAGON as backup.

UPDATE 2: Following up on prior reports from Sunday, Bozilla is now off the next 3 events (1/17, 1/18, 1/19). Unspecified injury sustained that day.
