Stardom closes out a massive 2019 with the first Korakuen Hall show of the Bushiroad era.\u00a0 Stardom Year End Climax is always one of the most important cards of the year and this year no different.\u00a0 Hazuki retires<\/a>, three titles are on the line and Giulia\u00a0<\/strong>vs\u00a0Hana Kimura\u00a0<\/strong>all on the one show.<\/p>\n

Itsuki Hoshino, Saya Kamitani & Saya Iida vs Rina, Hina & Leo Onozaki<\/strong><\/h3>\n

\"Year<\/p>\n

These matches are always good to get a measure on the progress of the rookies.\u00a0 Saya Kamitani will probably pick up the win but the real fun is seeing what new moves someone pulls out or what they improve one.<\/p>\n

Tokyo Cyber Squad (Jungle Kyona, Death Yama-San & Ruaka) vs Oedo Tai (Session Moth Martina, Natsu Sumire & Jamie Hayter)<\/strong><\/h3>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Outside of the usual cross-faction warfare there isn’t much to this match.\u00a0 It should be an ok match but nothing jumps out about this one.\u00a0 Expect TCS to get the win as Martina’s tour finishes up soon and it’s likely she goes out with a loss.<\/p>\n

Hazuki Retirement Match: Hazuki vs Natsuko Tora<\/strong><\/h3>\n

\"Year<\/p>\n

Hazuki and Natsuko Tora have spent the past few months teaming together as part of tag league.\u00a0 Hazuki requested this match as her final match, it is fitting that she would go out against a fellow Oedo Tai member.\u00a0 This one is speed vs brawn but is sure to be a very emotional match as we say goodbye to Hazuki.<\/p>\n

Hana Kimura vs Giulia<\/strong><\/h3>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Giulia makes her Stardom debut with a slew of singles matches throughout December.\u00a0 At Korakuen Hall she will face her toughest test in 5 Star Grand Prix winner Hana Kimura<\/a>. This match will provide a good indicator of Giulia’s standing within the company as a win over Kimura would put her in the top tier of the company immediately.\u00a0 These two have managed to build animosity with one another through their brief interactions and this match is sure to be a hate-filled brawl.<\/p>\n

Artist Of Stardom Championships: Queen’s Quest (AZM, Utami Hayashishita & Momo Watanabe) vs STARS (Tam Nakano, Starlight Kid & Saki Kashima)<\/strong><\/h3>\n

\"Year<\/p>\n

The Queen’s Quest trio recently picked up the Arist titles with a win over Oedo Tai.\u00a0 Starlight Kid would pin AZM in a multi-person tag that lead to her making the challenge for this match.\u00a0 The AZM\/SLK feud continues in what is likely to be a win for QQ over the STARS middle tier.<\/p>\n

Wonder Of Stardom Championship: Arisa Hoshiki (C) vs Konami<\/strong><\/h3>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Two of the breakout Stardom performers of 2019, Konami and Arisa Hoshiki met in the final of the Cinderella Tournament.\u00a0 Hoshiki would win that match and go on to capture the Wonder Of Stardom championship.\u00a0 She has had a big year as champion having great matches and making seven successful defenses.\u00a0 It’s also been a big year for Konami who became a big part of Tokyo Cyber Squad and captured the Goddesses and Artist Of Stardom championships.\u00a0 Two of Stardom’s fiercest strikers will collide at Year End Climax and most feel that now is as good a time as any to belt up Konami.<\/p>\n

World Of Stardom Championship: Mayu Iwatani (C) vs Kagetsu<\/strong><\/h3>\n

\"Year<\/p>\n

Mayu makes defense number one of the World Of Stardom title against Kagetsu.\u00a0 Kagetsu comes into this one off the back of some big wins in December and is a credible first challenger.\u00a0 These two last met in June at\u00a0Pro Wrestling: EVE\u00a0<\/strong>in a time limit draw, the last Stardom match between them was also for the red belt as Kagetsu successfully defended against Mayu on her tenth-anniversary show.\u00a0 While the result is not in doubt this will be a very fun match between two of Stardom’s best.<\/p>\n
