Just one day after their latest live offering from Korakuen Hall, Stardom have announced their full card’s for this weekend’s PPV double header extravaganza from the Hokkaido Chateraise Gateau Kingdom in Sapporo.
Airing on Saturday the 27th and Sunday 28th of July respectively, each show has its own distinct theme, with the Saturday show named and centred around Saori Anou and Natsupoi’s Wonder of Stardom Championship match, whilst the Sunday show is all red as Tora and Maika clash for the World of Stardom Championship.
For Natsupoi, this is a long time coming, having had to wait for Saori – her friend who ignored Poi’s pleas for a match to instead defend the belt unsuccessfully against Mika Iwata – to regain the belt on last Monday’s Sendai Girls show. This will be her fourth attempt at the belt she so desperately craves, having lost to Tam, Mina and Saya Kamitani in her previous three attempts. Maika meanwhile is flying high as Red Belt champion, having recently surpassed 200 days as champion (only the 10th person to achieve this) and having recorded her sixth successful title defence against Tomoka Inaba in JTO. However, she comes up against stern competition in Natsuko Tora, the leader of an Oedo Tai that has never felt more dangerous or as unpredictable as they do right now. It will be interesting to see if Maika enlisting the back up of Saya Kamitani at ringside carries any significant bearing or not.
Speaking of Saya Kamitani, she will be looking to defend her High-Speed Championship for a third time against former-champion Mei Seira – someone who many think was robbed prematurely of the belt when she lost it to Saki Kashima back in Philadelphia in April. Rina also has the chance to enter the record books once again as Future of Stardom Champion, not only as the longest reigning Future of Stardom Champion – an accolade she holds after eclipsing Utami Hayashishita’s previous record of 408 days – but also the most successful, with a win against Ranna Yagami bringing her to ten successful defences, moving her one clear of second place; coincidentally her older sister, Hanan!
As well as the four championship matches already confirmed prior to this announcement, these two shows will also see the finals of the 5Star Grand Prix play-in tournament, with Yuna Mizumori and Waka Tsukiyama vying for a spot in Red Stars block, and Lady C and Miyu Amasaki in Blue Stars. After her heinous turn at Korakuen Hall, Konami comes face-to-face with Syuri for the first time since shockingly re-joining Oedo Tai in singles action. Starlight Kid promised that her new unit featuring Suzu Suzuki, Mei Seira, AZM and Miyu Amasaki would be given an official name and logo in Sapporo and that team face-off with STARS on the Saturday in a 10-Woman Tag Team Match. Elsewhere, meltear team together again for the first time since they lost to Aja Kong and Kaoru Ito at All-Star Grand Queendom back in April when they square-off with Eye Contact, while Lady C and Hina team together for the first time since officially throwing their allegiance with God’s Eye when they take on Xena and Rian.
