Lady C, notably Stardom&#8217;s tallest wrestler, had a long road to getting her first win and didn&#8217;t wait long after that win to challenge for the future belt.\u00a0 Ruaka will likely retain her title in this one as Lady C isn&#8217;t in a position to hold this title just yet.<\/p>\n<h3>High Speed Championship &#8211; Starlight Kid (c) vs Momo Watanabe<\/h3>\n<p>Initially, this was just a random 5STAR GP rematch that Stardom made for the show. Things have grown from there with Kid goading Watanabe into challenging for the high speed championship by insinuating that Watanabe eats too much and can&#8217;t wrestle at high speed anymore. Stardom has put itself in a weird situation here as neither Watanabe nor Kid should really be losing this match and it feels like a weird use of Watanabe who was just in the 5STAR Grand Prix final.\u00a0 Despite the weird story surrounding the match these two never fail to deliver in the ring against each other and we expect this one to be no different as Starlight Kid is on the run of her career.<\/p>\n<h3>SWA Championship &amp; Right To Challenge Briefcase &#8211; Syuri (c) vs AZM<\/h3>\n<p><a id=\"lvfRi5uLQz9Px2xwTCX4fg\" class=\"gie-single\" style=\"color: #a7a7a7; text-decoration: none; font-weight: normal !important; border: none; display: inline-block;\" href=\"http:\/\/www.gettyimages.ie\/detail\/1346117713\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Embed from Getty Images<\/a><script>window.gie=window.gie||function(c){(gie.q=gie.q||[]).push(c)};gie(function(){gie.widgets.load({id:'lvfRi5uLQz9Px2xwTCX4fg',sig:'u8D3PjXlo9bdw3RdDJ59VypZqhOO5HO-_iCRYND9_Ck=',w:'446px',h:'594px',items:'1346117713',caption: true ,tld:'ie',is360: false })});<\/script><script src='\/\/embed-cdn.gettyimages.com\/widgets.js' charset='utf-8' async><\/script><\/p>\n<p>Syuri and AZM clash once again, this time with both Syuri&#8217;s SWA Championship and her World of Stardom Championship briefcase on the line.\u00a0 Despite the amazing chemistry Syuri and AZM have they face an uphill battle here as we&#8217;ve seen this pattern play out with them already, AZM pins Syuri in a tournament and Syuri gets her win back in the title match a few months later. This should be a fun match but there won&#8217;t be much drama involved.<\/p>\n<h3>Wonder of Stardom Championship &#8211; Tam Nakano (c) vs Unagi Sayaka<\/h3>\n<p>Stablemates collide for the championship here as Tam Nakano look to retain her championship against Sayaka, who beat Nakano on the opening day of the 5STAR Grand Prix.\u00a0 At the last major Stardom event Unagi Sayaka lost the Future of Stardom Championship and we&#8217;d expect her to suffer another loss here as she just isn&#8217;t ready to win this championship yet. There&#8217;s no doubt Sayaka will hold this title in the near future but this isn&#8217;t her time. The big question is who can stop Nakano?<\/p>\n<h3>World of Stardom Championship &#8211; Utami Hayashishita (c) vs Hazuki<\/h3>\n<p><a id=\"vZCAYD72RlFwFWoz-lQeHw\" class=\"gie-single\" style=\"color: #a7a7a7; text-decoration: none; font-weight: normal !important; border: none; display: inline-block;\" href=\"http:\/\/www.gettyimages.ie\/detail\/1346117276\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Embed from Getty Images<\/a><script>window.gie=window.gie||function(c){(gie.q=gie.q||[]).push(c)};gie(function(){gie.widgets.load({id:'vZCAYD72RlFwFWoz-lQeHw',sig:'EkOAIfzs4mR6hlBqECXru4ti-ooGYaidsVrFUfP_AM0=',w:'594px',h:'396px',items:'1346117276',caption: true ,tld:'ie',is360: false })});<\/script><script src='\/\/embed-cdn.gettyimages.com\/widgets.js' charset='utf-8' async><\/script><\/p>\n<p>In a match that many Stardom fans thought they&#8217;d never see Hazuki challenges Utami Hayashishita for the World of Stardom Championship.\u00a0 When Hazuki initially retired in December of 2019, Hayashishita was a prodigy on the rise who was earmarked for success.\u00a0 By the time Hazuki returned Hayashishita was the world champion and had assumed her spot at the very top of the company.\u00a0 Hazuki&#8217;s chances of winning are unfortunately slim but she has a chance here to re-establish herself as a main event player in Stardom.<\/p>\n<p><em>Stay tuned to the\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/prowrestling\/\" target=\"_self\">Last Word on Pro Wrestling<\/a>\u00a0for more on this and other stories from around the world of wrestling as they develop.
