In addition to that, this card is loaded with title matches that are sure to deliver. Let&#8217;s take a look at the card for Nagoya Supreme Fight.<\/p>\n<h2>Stardom Nagoya Supreme Fight Full Card (1\/29\/22)<\/h2>\n<p><strong>Pre Show:\u00a0<\/strong><del>Ruaka vs Rina<\/del><\/p>\n<p><strong>Pre Show<\/strong>: <del>Momo Kohgo, Waka Tsukiyama &amp; Mai Sakurai vs Oedo Tai (Starlight Kid, Fukigen Death &amp; Saki Kashima)<\/del><\/p>\n<p><strong>Pre Show Battle Royal: <\/strong>Momo Kohgo, Ruaka, Rina, Waka Tsukiyama, Mai Sakurai, Fukigen Death, Saki Kashima<\/p>\n<p><strong>Future of Stardom Championship: <\/strong>Hanan (c) vs Lady C<\/p>\n<p><strong>SWA Undisputed World Women&#8217;s Championship:\u00a0<\/strong>Thekla vs Mina Shirakawa<\/p>\n<p><strong>The Grudge:\u00a0<\/strong><del>Utami Hayashishita vs Momo Watanabe<\/del><\/p>\n<p><strong>The Grudge:\u00a0<\/strong>Queen&#8217;s Quest (Utami Hayashishita &amp; AZM) vs Oedo Tai (Momo Watanabe &amp; Starlight Kid)<\/p>\n<p><strong>Goddess of Stardom Championship:\u00a0<\/strong>Fukuoka Double Crazy (Koguma &amp; Hazuki) (c) vs Donna Del Mondo (Maika &amp; Himeka)<\/p>\n<p><strong>Wonder of Stardom Championship:\u00a0<\/strong>Saya Kamitani (c) vs Unagi Sayaka<\/p>\n<p><strong>Number One Contender:\u00a0<\/strong>Mayu Iwatani vs Giulia vs Tam Nakano<\/p>\n<p><strong>World of Stardom Championship:\u00a0<\/strong>Syuri (c) vs MIRAI<\/p>\n<h3>Thekla vs Mina Shirakawa<\/h3>\n<p>Since Syuri vacated the SWA Championship Thekla was quick to state her ambition to win the title.\u00a0 She was countered by Mina Shirakawa who wants to win the title and embark on an overseas tour to defend the belt.\u00a0 It seemed obvious that Thekla would walk away with the title following her standout debut, but Shirakawa aiming to take the title abroad for a tour could see her get a run with it.<\/p>\n<h3>Momo Watanabe vs Utami Hayashishita<\/h3>\n<p><strong>Note: Due to card changes this match is now a tag match which sees AZM &amp; Utami Hayashishita take on Momo Watanabe &amp; Starlight Kid<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Former Goddess of Stardom champions implode at Nagoya Supreme Fight when Hayashishita aims to take out a month&#8217;s worth of frustration on Watanabe.\u00a0 This goes back to Momo turning on QQ and leaving the group for Oedo Tai.\u00a0 She followed that up by sticking a wrench in her kick pad and punting AZM at the end of their match.\u00a0 This blow to the face knocked AZM out and has seen her miss a string of shows due to the injury. This incident further served to rile up Utami Hayashishita whose rage towards Momo knows no bounds.\u00a0 With this being lower on the card than expected there is quite a big chance we see some shenanigans go down involving Oedo Tai.<\/p>\n<p>This match will now have another rivalry added to proceedings as AZM and Starlight Kid have been added to the chaos due to some recent changes to the card.<\/p>\n<h3>FWC (Hazuki &amp; Koguma) vs DDM (Maika &amp; Himeka)<\/h3>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"600\" height=\"400\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-107970\" src=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/prowrestling\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/15\/2022\/01\/Hazuki-koguma-Tag-Title-win.jpg\" alt=\"Hazuki &amp; Kogua after winning the tag titles\" srcset=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/prowrestling\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/15\/2022\/01\/Hazuki-koguma-Tag-Title-win.jpg 600w, https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/prowrestling\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/15\/2022\/01\/Hazuki-koguma-Tag-Title-win-300x200.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>New champions Koguma and Hazuki will make the first defends of the titles at Nagoya Supreme Fight. Their first challengers Maika and Himeka were tag champions in early 2020 before losing them to ALK.\u00a0 This will likely be a great match between two of the best tag teams in Stardom but it is very unlikely we see Koguma and Hazuki lose the straps right away.<\/p>\n<h3>Saya Kamitani vs Unagi Sayaka<\/h3>\n<p>Saya Kamitani is also making the first defense of a championship on this show. Her challenger is the Cosmic Angels member Unagi Sayaka who actually defeated Kamitani on the final day of the 5STAR Grand Prix 2021, eliminating Kamitani from contention to win.\u00a0 Kamitani has been hesitant to grant Sayaka a title match but the latter&#8217;s insistence caused Stardom&#8217;s match makers to sanction the match. Saya Kamitani, like FWC, isn&#8217;t likely to lose in her first defense but Sayaka will be up for the challenge.<\/p>\n<h3>Mayu Iwatani vs Giulia vs Tam Nakano<\/h3>\n<p><a id=\"myNWT6HYQoNwYqbSAwwYkw\" class=\"gie-single\" style=\"color: #a7a7a7; text-decoration: none; font-weight: normal !important; border: none; display: inline-block;\" href=\"http:\/\/www.gettyimages.ie\/detail\/1277222999\" 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:'myNWT6HYQoNwYqbSAwwYkw',sig:'gFvS3KJ0I1oycTM0LJKIow35iYkKu9C-3l0UNuSDTMw=',w:'594px',h:'396px',items:'1277222999',caption: true ,tld:'ie',is360: false })});<\/script><script src='\/\/embed-cdn.gettyimages.com\/widgets.js' charset='utf-8' async><\/script><\/p>\n<p>This match will crown not one, but two number one contenders for the World of Stardom Championship. The winners will challenge for the title in March on Day 1 and 2 of Stardom World Climax at Sumo Hall.\u00a0 The rules are simple, maybe, whoever picks up a win first is out of the match and will challenge for the title on Day 1 of Stardom World Climax.\u00a0 The remaining two competitors will battle it out for the right to challenge on Day 1 of Stardom World Climax.<\/p>\n<p>We expect Tam Nakano and Mayu Iwatani to be the two emerging from this match.\u00a0 Giulia will no doubt be world champion soon but her journey there likely won&#8217;t start at Sumo Hall.\u00a0 Giulia may also be busy dealing with the repercussions of adding two new members to Donna Del Mondo which is already causing some side-eyeing from already established members.<\/p>\n<h3>Syuri vs MIRAI<\/h3>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"YouTube video player\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/pwoeXOCOV6U\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>Syuri makes a very interesting first defense of her title against newcomer MIRAI (former Mirai Maiumi). MIRAI has shown good skills since debuting for Stardom but a title match with a wrestler on the level of Syuri is a whole new challenge for her. If she can live up to her potential then this could be a star-making match for MIRAI even if she is definitely losing in Syuri&#8217;s first defense.<\/p>\n<p>The potential ramifications of this in the face of MIRAI being a newcomer to Donna Del Mondo are endless.\u00a0 All can not be well in that group, but how long can they keep things together on the surface?<\/p>\n<div class=\"entry-content\">\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.
