Stardom tuns their next NEW BLOOD event today, the sub-label featuring younger and less-experienced wrestlers. There are no title matches today which is rare (but also no HANAKO either, she holds both titles) but still some big matches on tap namely what is the final pre-retirement appearance in Stardom for Tae Honma (she retires on 10/13) as she faces Ranna Yagami. There also will be outside participation from Evolution, a small promotion run primarily by All-Japan veterans Suwama & Shuji Ishikawa.

Today’s event will be held at Belle Salle Shinjuku South Exit in Tokyo and can be watched LIVE FOR FREE on YouTube (it will also be available as an archived replay a few minutes after the event. It will not be available on Stardom World). There will be no commentary. There are 6 matches planned and these events normally run about 2 hours tops so I would anticipate more of the same today, probably not running any longer barring long matches or a long intermission.

Today’s lineup (match order TBA):
Ema Maishima vs. Kikyo Furusawa
Yuria Hime vs. Yuki Mashiro & Fukigen in a 3-way
Waka Tsukiyama & Rian vs. Echika Miyabi & Riara
Hina vs. Kiyoka Kokatsu
Bozilla & Akira Kurogame vs. ZONES & Soi
Tae Honma vs. Ranna Yagami (Main Event)

The next event is HISTORIC X-OVER, a crossover event with New Japan, Sunday at Barley66 Livehouse in Guangzhou, China. There will be no live or on demand broadcast.

After yesterday’s major event, Stardom was back in action today with a house show.

Today’s event was held at Sunrec Kitakami in Iwate and will be available on demand on Stardom World at a later date. There was no live broadcast.

The paid attendance has not yet been announced.

There were potential last-minute changes to the event due to both AZM & Saya Kamitani being pulled off the card. AZM-unspecified injury, also out tomorrow. Kamitani-unspecified reasons, will return tomorrow.

Stardom begins the road to their next blowout PPV today with a major event in Tokyo. The main event is a double title match betwern Saya Kamitani & AZM for the World Of Stardom and STRONG Women’s Championships, representing perhaps a second coronation for the Phenex Queen as she could become a double champion once again. A second title match features a Future Of Stardom Championship match as HABAKO again challenges Hina for the title while Hina tries to get closer to the successful defense records ahead of her held by sisters Hanan & Rina. Elsewhere, Syuri returns for the first time since leaving earlier this year for an excursion that wound up being to All Elite Wrestling, and Tae Honma makes her last Stardom appearance before retiring next month.

Today’s event will be held at Korakuen Hall in Tokyo and can be watched LIVE on Stardom World in Japanese. And thanks to an emergency decision yesterday, you will also be able to watch the entire event FOR FREE on YouTube. There are 9 matches scheduled including a potential pre-show match and given there usually is an intermission the event probably will run longer than usual for Korakuen, I’m anticipating around 3 hours.

Today’s lineup (match order TBA except for first match):
Yuria Hime vs. Kikyo Furusawa (pre-show)
Tae Honma, Saori Anou & Natsupoi vs. Ranna Yagami, Sayaka Kurara & Rian
Hanan, Saya Iida & Bea Priestley vs. Momo Watanabe, Konami & Fukigen
Saki Kashima vs. Waka Tsukiyama & Momo Kohgo in a 3-way (Updated, see below)

Pre-show match: Yuria Hime vs. Kikyo Furusawa. 15 minute time limit
Result: Yuria Hime beat Kikyo Furusawa by submission. Short match at just over 5 minutes but really good, a lot of creative submission attempts and more.

LAST-SECOND PRE-SHOW UPDATE: There has been a last-second change to the event because Saki Kashima is now off. The always-vague poor health. The 3-way is now just Waka Tsukiyama vs. Momo Kohgo. This was announced at the beginning of the main card.

Match 7: Future Of Stardom Champion Hina vs. HANAKO for the title. 15 minute time limit

Result: World Of Stardom Champion Saya Kamitani beat STRONG Women’s Champion AZM to win the STRONG title and retain the World Of Stardom Title. Kamitani becomes the 6th STRONG Women’s Champion. World Of Stardom V6 for Kamitani. Guess there’s some rioting on the Twitter going on because some poor suckers refuse to Embrace The H.A.T.E. Bow Down Before Your PHENEX QUEEN! As soon as AZM was sent off, Momo Watanabe hit the ring. She has a title shot of her choice in hand for winning the 5STAR GP, and it’s cash-in time. Sounds like she wants the STRONG title. Updates to come hopesully soon.

The next event is Sunday at Sunrec Kitakami in Iwate. There will be no live broadcast.

UPDATE: Turns out Watanabe wants BOTH titles Kamitani holds and is getting her shot at them. That match will happen on 11/3 at Ota City General Gym on PPV.

There were several last-minute changes to the event due to Miyu Amasaki being pulled off the card late. The always vague poor health.

Stardom has announced a pair of injury updates today as both Mei Seira & Suzu Suzuki are now sidelined. Undisclosed injuries & treatment. Seira is out “a short time” but at least the next event. Suzuki is expected to be out about a month. That suggests both have minor injuries. It sounds like it will not affect the High Speed Championship held by Seira.

More as it becomes available.

Stardom ran their monthly 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 2 matches FOR FREE on YouTube.

Match 7: Koguma beat CMLL Japan Women’s CHampion Dark Sileta by ref stoppage to win the title. Koguma becomes the 6th CMLL Japan Women’s Champion. This ended just short of 5 minutes which has me thinking a potential injury occurred.

Match 8: In a 2/3 Falls Match, High Speed Champion Mei Seira vs. Yuna Mizumori went to a 10 minute time limit draw. As a result, Seira retains the title. V7 for Seira.

Main Event: Konami, Rina & Fukigen beat Artist Of Stardom Champions Starlight Kid, AZM & Miyu Amasaki to win the titles. Konami, Rina & Fukigen become the 35th Artist Of Stardom Champions.

That match will happen on 9/27.

The next event is Saturday at Sanjo City Welfare Hall in Niigata. Live streaming on Stardom World will begin Friday at 9 PM PT/midnight ET.

UPDATE: The Koguma-Sileta ref stoppage was due to a Sileta injury. It appears to have happened during a Koguma swinging DDT to Sileta outside the ring and, based on photos posted by Stardom, may have been an arm or shoulder injury.

STARDOM TO THE WORLD, the promotion’s return to action post-5STAR GP, is in the books.

New Japan’s El Desperado and Dragon Gate’s Dragon Kid were also in attendance and it was announced the three would team up to face a TBA trio at the event.

Stardom wrapped up the 2025 5STAR GP today with the Semifinals and Finals.

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 $31 US) until 9/1. After that it should be available without additional purchase for all monthly subscribers. You can also watch the first match FOR FREE on YouTube.

The paid attendance has not yet been announced. (UPDATE: The announced paid attendance was 2856)

Pre-show match: Momo Kohgo & Yuria Hime beat Lady C & Kiyoka Kokatsu, Emi Maishima & Kikyo Furusawa and Azusa Inaba & Fukigen in a 4-way when Hime beat Maishima.

Match 1: Saya Kamitani, Natsuko Tora & Ruaka beat Bea Priestley, Hanan & Saya Iida. Kamitani pinned Iida after Star Crusher.

Match 2: 5STAR GP Semifinals: AZM beat Rina.

Match 3: 5STAR GP Semifinals: Momo Watanabe beat Saori Anou.

Match 4: Natsupoi, Aya Sakura & Sayaka Kurara beat Waka Tsukiyama, HANAKO & Rian. Sakura pinned Tsukiyama.

Match 5: Yuna Mizumori beat Mei Seira & Saki Kashima in a 3-way by pinning Kashima.

Match 7: Ami Sohrei & Tomoka Inaba beat Starlight Kid & Miyu Amasaki. Inaba beat Amasaki.

Match 8: Future Of Stardom Champion Hina beat Ranna Yagami by submission to retain the title. V6 for Hina. That means if she gets one more, she will be 3rd all time in successful defenses in a reign behind only her sisters Hanan & Rina. Currently she is tied for 3rd.

Match 9: IWGP Women’s Champion Sareee beat Konami to retain the title. V1 for Sareee.

Main Event: 5STAR GP Finals: Momo Watanabe beat AZM to win the tournament. As a result, Watanabe will presumably get a World Of Stardom Championship match after the upcoming Saya Kamitani-Bea Priestley title match. If Kamitani retains then it could well be an all-H.A.T.E. affair. Nice.

The next event is 9/6 at Yokohama Budokan in Yokohama. Broadcast plans TBA but with Kamitani-Priestley set and Natsuko Tora vs. Mayumi Ozaki I’m thinking it will be another PPV.

UPDATE: The post-tournament presser is being held, updates to follow but coming out of it is Wonder Of Stardom Champion Starlight Kid vs. Tomoka Inaba for the title, which has been added to 9/6.
Just added after this update was posted: CMLL Japan Women’s Champion Dark Sileta vs. Koguma for the title has been announced for 9/10 at Korakuen Hall.

Also a correction to above: For winning the 5STAR GP Momo Watanabe does get a title shot, but it’s her choice and not necessarily World Of Stardom.

Next up for Hina & the Future Of Stardom Championship: Yuria Hime. That match will happen on 9/10. Also official for 9/10: High Speed Champion Mei Seira vs. Yuna Mizumori for the title and Artist Of Stardom Champions Starlight Kid, AZM & Miyu Amasaki vs. Konami, Rina & Fukigen for the titles. This match was originally planned for 7/5 but was cancelled at the time due to a Rina injury.

Next up for Sareee for the IWGP Women’s Championship: Suzu Suzuki. That match will happen on 9/6.

UPDATE 2: Bea Priestley will be staying with Stardom for the near future. It’s not known if she signed with the promotion but she will be affiliated with them.
