Stardom runs the last event before this month’s PPV today in Tokyo. It’s definitely qualifying as a major event ahead of the next blowout event because there are 3 title matches on tap for today. First up, Future Of Stardom Champion Ranna Yagami chose outsider Miku Kanae as her next challenger for the title as she goes for a 5th successful defense. Second, the Goddesses Of Stardom Championship is on the line as AZM & Miyu Amasaki defend against Hazuki & Koguma, with Hazuki back after missing the first half of the month due to being in the US for All Elite Wrestling participation (and she’s going back after the PPV). Finally, the Artist Of Stardom Championship will be defended by Ami Sohrei, Hina & Lady C against Natsupoi, Yuna Mizumori & Aya Sakura-and whoever wins has Maki Itoh, Kikyo Furusawa & Rian waiting for them at the PPV. The event will also see Mei Seira return after being out a couple weeks due to injury and, while likely not today, a new column on Stardom’s website hints at a potential Momo Watanabe return in the near-future after being out the year so far.

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. There are 8 matches planned and with 3 title matches (and presumably an intermission) it’ll likely be on the longer side for a Korakuen event as I anticipate a total running time of about 3 hours. (After cancelling several months ago I decided to resubscribe to Stardom World earlier this week so this will be the resumption of occasional live results posts for now when schedules allow)

Today’s lineup (match order TBA):
Hanan & Matoi Hamabe vs. Saya Iida & HANAKO
Mei Seira, Starlight Kid & Ema Maishima vs. Maki Itoh, Kikyo Furusawa & Rian
Sayaka Kurara vs. Anne Kanaya
Syuri, Tomoka Inaba Nanami Hatano & Kiyoka Kokatsu vs. Itsuki Aoki, Akira Kuraogame & Xena
Saori Anou, Maika, Fuwa-chan & Utami Hayashishita vs. Natsuko Tora, Konami, Ruaka & Azusa Inaba
Future Of Stardom Champion Ranna Yagami vs. Miku Kanae for the title
Goddesses Of Stardom Champions AZM & Miyu Amakasi vs. Hazuki & Koguma for the titles
Artist Of Stardom Champions Ami Sohrei, Hina & Lady C vs. Natsupoi, Yuna Mizumori & Aya Sakura for the titles

First up, this Stardom item will have a SPOILER barrier for those waiting to watch tomorrow’s AEW Collision because it will be TAPED (they did that last night). It may affect Stardom events at the end of June because it suggests another wrestler is US-bound for the AEW-New Japan Forbidden Door PPV on 6/28 and will have to be pulled off some Stardom events after the 6/20 PPV as a result. If you want to know who before this weekend, click below…

(Also, effective tomorrow I will resume doing occasional LIVE results for Stardom events after several months not doing so. I cancelled Stardom World due to persistent technical issues and other gripes but have decided to give them a second chance. Sunday’s event, a Saturday night US time event, will have live results and I will do them for now when time allows)

At a press conference yesterday, Stardom announced several overseas excursions are coming which will have a potentially major impact on this year’s 5STAR GP Tournament. Going international, and missing the entire tournament as a result, are Ranna Yagami, Hazuki, Fuwa-chan and the biggest one, Syuri. Further details as to when/where TBA.

This year’s tournament is scheduled to run from 7/18-8/23. Nobody has been announced for the tournament yet mor has the format been announced.

Stardom ran their regular Sunday house show today in Tochigi.

Today’s event was held at Light Cube Utsunomiya in Tochigi and can be watched on demand on Stardom World. You can also watch the first 3 matches FOR FREE on YouTube.

The announced paid attendance was 680, a full house/near sellout.

There was a last-minute change to the card due to Waka Tsukiyama being pulled off the event. Unspecified injury suffered yesterday. She was to have faced Xena. Maika was the replacement and thus had 2 matches.

Match 1: Xena vs. Maika went to a 10 minute time limit draw.

Stardom began their June house show schedule today in Sendai.

Today’s event was held at Sendai Pit in Sendai and can be watched on demand on Stardom World. You can also watch the first 3 matches FOR FREE on YouTube.

The paid attendance was not announced. So not a sellout then.

Although not announced publicly, there is/was no Hazuki at this weekend’s events. Continued US participation in All Elite Wrestling.

Match 1: Maki Itoh, Kikyo Furusawa & Rian beat Ami Sohrei, Hina & Tomoka Inaba. Rian pinned Hina.

Match 2: Maika & HANAKO beat Starlight Kid & AZM, Koguyma & Waka Tsukiyama and Saya kamitani & Rina in a 4-way when HANAKO pinned Tsukiyama.

Match 3: Natsupoi, Yuna Mizumori & Aya Sakura beat Syuri, lady C & Ranna Yagami. Sakura pinned C.

Match 4: Miyu Amasaki beat Ema Maishima.

Match 5: Natsuko Tora, Konami, Ruaka & Azusa Inaba beat Hanan, Saya Iida, Matoi Hamabe & Utami Hayashishita. Ruaka pinned Hayashishita with a Dharma-style German suplex hold. That’s significant for Ruaka. Yes, Hayashishita is basically starting over in Stardom after leaving a couple years ago but she is still considered one of the top wrestlers in Japan right now. And while an 8-woman tag match it still has to be one of the biggest wins yet for the young Ruaka in her career.

Main Event: Sayaka Kurara, Saori Anou & Anne Kanaya beat Suzu Suzuki, Akira Kurogame & Xena. Kurara pinned Kurogame after Tokimeki Spear.

The next event is tomorrow at Light Cube Utsunomiya in Tochigi. Live streaming on Stardom World will begin TONIGHT at 9 PM PT/midnight ET.

In other news, there were a few match announcements today for 6/14 at Korakuen Hall in Tokyo and the next PPV on 6/20:. For 6/14 the first announced match was Kurara vs. Kanaya in a NON-TITLE match. However, this could help Kanaya get into Cosmic Angels. Also announced for was Future Of Stardom Champion Ranna Yagami vs. Miku Kano for the title. Yagami chose Kano after an independent event the other day. 2 other title matches are also set for 6/14: Goddesses Of Stardom Champions AZM & Miyu Amasaki vs. Hazuki & Koguma for the titles (Hazuki should be back for that) and Artist Of Stardom Champions Ami Sohrei, Hina & Lady C vs. Natsupoi, Yuna Mizumori & AYa Sakura for the titles. For the Artist titles, the winners will defend on 6/20 vs. Maki Itoh, Kikyo Furusawa & Rian. It appears Rian has aligned herself with Itoh & Furusawa as of today.
Including above, 6/20 now has 4 title matches. The rest so far are IWGP Women’s Champion Syuri vs. Rina Yamashita for the title, Wonder Of Stardom Champion Hanan vs. Saya Iida for the title and World Of Stardom Champion Sayaka Kurara vs. Suzu Suzuki for the title. They haven’t said so yet outside of the Stardom World schedule but 6/20 will be a PPV.

UPDATE: Injury Report-apparently Tsukiyama was injured during today’s event. Unspecified. Out tomorrow. She was to have faced Xena. Maika is the replacement and will be in 2 matches.

UPDATE 2: It now looks like Hazuki is off upcoming events from 6/26-6/28 and MAYBE Korakuen Hall in 6/30. More AEW participation as she will be in a tournament final at the upcoming Forbidden Door PPV on 6/28 in the US.

Stardom began a rather weird house show weekend today in Kobe.

Today’s event was held at Kobe Sambo Hall 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 595, a full house/near sellout.

There were late changes made to the card due to Hazuki & Maki Itoh being off the event. Hazuki-All Elite Wrestling participation in the US. Out this weekend and, based on the results of her match today, she may be out the next week as it looks like she’ll have another match next Saturday unless it is taped in advance (and even then it’s a toss-up because if the match was taped it’s not until Wednesday night US time which means Thursday in Japan). Itoh-missing.

Match 1: Utami Hayashishita beat Akira Kurogame. This marked the official in-ring return of Hayashishita to Stardom.

Match 2: Syuri, Ranna Yagami & Tomoka Inaba beat Natsuko Tora, Ruaka & Azusa Inaba. Syuri pinned Inaba after Ryutten Flame.

Match 3: Matoi Hamabe beat Waka Tsukiyama & Rian in a 3-way by pinning both.

And as it turns out, Kikyo Furusawa found Itoh in the crowd which affected the next match.

Match 4: In a handicap match, Maika & HANAKO beat Koguma, Maki Itoh & Kikyo Furusawa. Maika pinned Furusawa after a rolling lariat.

Match 5: Ami Sohrei, Hina & Kady C beat Starlight Kid, AZM & Ema Maishima. Sohrei pinned Maishima after Blue Thunder Bomb.

Match 6: Konami, Saya Kamitani, Bea Priestley & Rina beat Natsupoi, Yuna Mizumori, Aya Sakura & Anne Kanaya. Kamitani pinned Kanaya after Star Crusher.

Main Event; Saya Iida & Suzu Suzuki beat Sayaka Kurara & Hanan. Suzuki pinned Kurara after Tequila Shot.

The next event is tomorrow at Kyoto KBS Hall in Kyoto. Live streaming on Stardom World will begin TONIGHT at 9 PM PT/midnight ET.

Who knows if this is an angle, legit or her being a sore loser as always, but Stardom has a dilemma on their hand and now it’s affecting upcoming events…no Maki Itoh. She has seemingly vanished following losses at events this past week and her “disciple”, Kikyo Furusawa, has lost contact with her. Seemingly so has the promotion. And now they have been forced to make last-minute changes to Saturday’s event (and more besides this because Hazuki is now off the event too. AEW participation in the US) as a result. The original plan was for Hazuki & Koguma to face Maika & HANAKO and Itoh & Furusawa in a 3-way. Now it’s Koguma & Furusawa vs. Maika & HANAKO. However, if Furusawa finds Itoh in time it will instead be a handicap match with Itoh teaming with Koguma & Furusawa. Got all that? Actually care about Itoh’s latest stunt? (I sure don’t) And while nothing is definite yet Hazuki may be off Sunday as a result. If AEW’s Saturday TV show is live this week it’ll be at the same time as Stardom so no way Hazuki can make it back in time. But she should be back for the following event on 6/6.

More as it becomes available.

UPDATE: Stardom President Taro Okada has now confirmed Hazuki is off Sunday.

UPDATE 2: They are making contingency plans for Sunday in case of no Itoh. If is scheduled to be Itoh, Furusawa, Waka Tsukiyama & Rian vs. Ami Sohrei, Lady C, Hina & Kiyoka Kokatsu if Itoh shows up or is discovered. If no Itoh, it will be a handicap match.

Stardom ran their latest midweek Tokyo event today.

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.

Match 2: Waka Tsukiyama & Rian beat Maki Itoh & Kikyo Furusawa. Tsukiyama pinned Itoh after Osui Suplex.

Match 2: Yuna Mizumori & Aya Sakura beat Syuri & Kiyoka Kokatsu, Rina Yamashita & Itsuki Aoki and AZM & Koguma in a 4-way when Sakura pinned Kokatsu.

After the 5th match, a shocking moment occurred…Utami Hayashishita made a surprise return to the promotion 2 years after defecting to the then-new Marigold promotion. Hayashishita just left Marigold. While she seems destined to cross paths with Kamitani again in some form, first up in her return will be Akira Kurogame. That match will happen Saturday.

The next event is Saturday at Kobe Sambo Hall in Kobe. Live streaming on Stardom World will begin Friday at 9 PM PT/midnight ET.
