STARDOM held its second Korakuen Hall show of the week and it was the first live Korakuen Hall show since the 5STAR 2022. The show featured 8 matches including two Championship matches with the New Blood Tag Titles and the NJPW Strong Women’s Title on the line.
In the undercard, Miyu Amasaki pinned Rina in a Queen’s Quest vs. Oedo Tai Six Woman Tag Team match and announced that she would challenge Rina for the Future of Stardom Championship on February 25th in Utsunomiya, which is in Rina’s hometown. Also, for the first time since the end of October, Koguma was back in the ring when she and STARS lost to God’s Eye after Syuri was able to submit Yuzuki with the sleeper hold.
In the first Championship match of the night, Saya Iida & Hanan defeated Chanyota & Mai Sakurai to retain the New Blood Tag Team Championship in a great match and the best match in the history of that Championship. Both teams looked great and the final stretch was fantastic with the focus being on Iida & Chanyota. Wing*gori retained for the second time and will now face Waka Tsukiyama & HANAKO from EXV next at an unannounced date.
In the main event of the show, Giulia defeated Natsuko Tora to retain the NJPW Strong Women’s Championship for the ninth with the Northern Lights Bomb. The match was made a No Disqualification match shortly before the show and it helped the match a lot. It was violent, brutal, and just awesome. Tora & Giulia went to war and it took the Champion a lot to take down Tora. After the match, both showed respect to each other and Tora thanked Giulia for coming to STARDOM.
