Stardom ran their semi-regular 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 first 3 matches FOR FREE on YouTube.

The announced paid attendance was 1069.

Match 1: Xena Farewell Match: Waka Tsukiyama beat Xena. Xena is now leaving the promotion and is rumored to be heading to WWE.

Match 2: Hanan beat Rina Yamashita & Fukigen in a 3-way by pinning Fukigen.

Match 3: Starlight Kid, Mei Seira & Ema Maishima beat Maki Itoh, Kikyo Furusawa & Rian. Seira pinned Rian.

Match 4: Hauzki & Koguma beat Saya Iida & Matoi Hamabe, Utami Hayashishita & Fuwa-chan and Momo Watanabe & Konami in a 4-way when Hazuki pinned Hamabe.

Match 5: Aya Sakura, Sayaka Kurara, Natsupoi, Saori Anou, Yuna Mizumori & Anne Kanaya beat Syuri, Ami Sohrei, Hina, Lady C, Ranna Yagami & Kiyoka Kokatsu. Natsupoi pinned Yagami after MADE IN JAPAN. Clearly stolen from her new hubby, New Japan wrestler Shingo Takagi.

Match 6: Saya Kamitani, Ruaka & Azusa Inaba beat Suzu Suzuki, Itsuki Aoki & Akira Kurogame. Kamitani pinned Kurogame after Star Crusher.

Main Event: Goddesses Of Stardom Champions AZM & Miyu Amasaki beat Maika & HANAKO to retain the titles. Amasaki pinned HANAKO after an avalanche Tensei. V2 for the champs. Xena joined in the post-match celebration. Interestingly, both sides will face off again in the 5STAR GP as Amasaki will face HANAKO and AZM will face Maika.

The next event is Saturday at Fujisan Messe in Shizuoka. Live streaming on Stardom World will begin at 1 AM PT/4 AM ET. This was one of a few TBD events left with regards to broadcast plans this month, including a pair of 5STAR GP events. It’s been decided all these events will be LIVE and them on demand immediately afterwards. (7/18 will be a PPV)

Stardom finishes up their weekend house show slate today in Osaka. With the 5STAR GP approaching today will fill out the last open spot in the tournament-after Kikyo Furusawa beat Matoi Hamabe yesterday to get in, the second spot will be decided today between Anne Kanaya & Kiyoka Kokatsu. Also, while she likely won’t be a part of the event it was revealed on social media earlier today that Rina has returned from her recent Mexico excursion.

There were some late changes to the card due to Fuwa-chan being added to the event, she originally was not part of it. Because of this, Ema Maishima & Utami Hayashishita were pulled form a 10-woman tag and a 3-way with all 3 was added. Said 10-woman tag match is now an 8-woman tag.

Today’s event will be held at ATC Hall Osaka in Osaka and can be watched LIVE on Stardom World. There will be no commentary. The above changes mean there are now 7 matches instead of the planned 6 so the event will probably run a little longer than planned, I’m thinking it’ll be around 2 1/4 hours.

Today’s lineup:
5 STAR GP Qualifier: Anne Kanaya vs. Kiyoka Kokatsu
Hanan, Saya Iida & Matoi Hamabe vs. Maki Itoh, Kikyo Furusawa & Rian
Ema Maishima vs. Fuwa-chan & Utami Hayashishita in a 3-way
Ami Sohrei, Hina & Ranna Yagami vs. Aya Sakura, Natsupoi & Yuna Mizumori
Syuri vs. Xena
AZM, Miyu Amasaki, Starlight Kid & Mei Seira vs. Maika, HANAKO, Hazuki & Koguma
Suzu Suzuki, Akira Kurogame, Sayaka Kurara & Saori Anou vs. Saya Kamitani, Momo Watanabe, Konami & Ruaka

The paid attendance may or may not be announced after the event. I want to say the venue’s capacity is in the 600-650 range, sounds like it’ll be close to a sellout if not a sellout so I’ll guess it’ll be closet o 600. (UPDATE: The paid attendance was not announced)

Between last week’s Forbidden Door PPV and other happenings, Stardom has been a semi-regular in All Elite Wrestling recently. Another appearance is coming up-this one is TAPED again (airing tonight) so if you don’t want SPOILERS avoid clicking below for now. Otherwise, proceed..

You may recall from last weekend that Stardom wrestler Maika won a match in All Elite Wrestling to get into a title match tonight on the AEW Dynamite program, which is why she missed yesterday’s Stardom event in Japan. That match is in the books, which was a 6-way elimination match for the vacant AEW TBS Championship. Maika lost, being eliminated by fellow Japanese wrestler Hikaru Shida. The match went like this: Harley Cameron was eliminated first by CMLL wrestler Persephone, Maika was eliminated second by Shida, Persephone was eliminated third by Queen Aminata, Persephone was eliminated fourth by Kris Statlander, then finally Shida eliminated Statlander to win the title. Maika is now headed back to Japan and is expected back in time for Stardom’s next event on Saturday.

The match can be watched on demand on the TBS (US version, there is also a TBS in Japan, specifically in Tokyo)website & mobile app with a participating cable/satellite/streaming subscription or on HBO Max with a subscription. It may show up on Stardom World at some point as well…but don’t go looking right this moment. Stardom World is currently down until 1 AM PT/4 AM ET on 7/2/2026 due to scheduled maintenance.

Stardom finished up their June schedule today with a weeknight Tokyo event.

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

The paid attendance has not yet been announced. (UPDATE: The announced paid attendance was 1487, a full house/near sellout)

There was a last-minute change to the card due to Bea Priestley being pulled off the event. Unspecified injury. Natsuko Tora was in 2 matches as a result due to being the replacement.

Match 1: Syuri, Ami Sohrei, Lady C, Hina & Kiyoka Kokatsu beat Natduko Tora, Momo Watanabe, Ruaka, Azusa Inaba & Fukigen. C pinned Fukigen.

Match 2: Rina Yamashita, Itsuki Aoki & Alira Kurogame beat Maki Itoh, Kikyo Furusawa & Rian. Aoki pinned Furusawa after Rasa Scissors.

Match 4: Hazuki, Koguma & Fuwa-chan beat Saya Kamitani, Ruaka & Natsuko Tora. Hazuki pinned Ruaka. Tora replaced Priestley here.

Match 5: Future Of Stardom Champion Ranna Yagami beat Matoi Hamabe to retain the title. V6 for Yagami. Next up: US excursion next month, which explains why I didn’t see her included in the 5 STAR GP.

Match 6: Natsupoi, Saori Anou & Yuna Mizumori beat Aya Sakura, Sayaka Kurara & Anne Kanaya. Natsupoi pinned Kanaya. This match was supposed to determine if Kanaya gets to join Cosmic Angels.

Main Event: World Of Stardom Champion Suzu Suzuki beat Utami Hayashishita to retain the title. V1 for Suzuki. Next up: Unless plans change, the 5 STAR GP winner.

The next event is Saturday at Tex Port Imabari in Ehime. There will be no live broadcast.

After the event, a title match was announced for 7/8, which will be Goddesses Of Stardom Champions AZM & Miyu Amasaki vs. Maika & HANAKO for the titles.

Also a note on the 5 STAR GP broadcast schedule for July-the first event on 7/18 will be next month’s PPV, most of the rest of the events will be live on Stardom World but 7/25 & 7/26 plans are TBA. Non-tournament events on 7/5 & 7/8 will also be live.

UPDATE: Cosmic Angels let Kanaya in.

Another week, another Stardom injury as they seem to keep happening, this time to Bea Priestley recently. Unspecified. Out tomorrow. Status uncertain beyond that. She was to have teamed with Saya Kamitani & Konami to face Hazuki, Koguma & Fuwa-chan. Natsuko Tora is the replacement-that means she will be in 2 matches. It’s not yet known how long Priestley may be out.

More as it becomes available.
