Stardom returns to Korakuen Hall as part of the Goddess Of Stardom Tag League.\u00a0 The tag league takes a back seat this time around as\u00a0Mayu Iwatani\u00a0<\/strong>and\u00a0Takumi Iroha\u00a0<\/strong>will main event as they rekindle their feud for Iroha’s World Of Stardom Championship match.\u00a0 The two had a Match Of The year contender in February which was won by Iroha so Iwatani will be out to get her win back and even up their series at one win apiece (their first match went to a draw).<\/p>\n

Riho, Starlight Kid & Hanan vs Gokigen Death, Rina & Hina<\/strong><\/h3>\n
\"\"<\/a>

A six-person tag match to open up the show and features former high speed champions teaming with the next generation of Stardom.\u00a0 Riho’s team is much stronger and is likely to walk away with the win.<\/p>\n

Saya Iida vs Tam Nakano\"\"<\/a><\/strong><\/h3>\n

Two STARS members meet in this singles matchup.\u00a0 Iida has recently been picking up wins and is gaining some momentum but Nakano is just coming off a loss to\u00a0Giulia\u00a0<\/strong>at\u00a0Yokohama Cinderella\u00a0<\/em>and will be looking to get back to winning ways.<\/p>\n

Mina Shirakawa vs Himeka\"\"<\/a><\/strong><\/h3>\n

Stardom newcomer takes on the next challenger for Giulia’s championship in Himeka.\u00a0 Shirakawa debuted for Stardom at Yokohama and beat Hanan but already has some losses under her belt in singles competition so we expect that the GP finalist Himeka will come away with the win.<\/p>\n

Donna Del Mondo (Natsupoi, Syuri, Maika & Giulia) vs Oedo Tai (Bea Priestley, Konami, Natsuko Tora & Saki Kashima)\"\"<\/a><\/strong><\/h3>\n

Both teams are riding waves of momentum coming into this one.\u00a0 At Yokohama Oedo Tai gained a new member in Konami and brought some gold to the faction as Priestley won the SWA Championship.\u00a0 DDM is riding high as always despite some big defeats at Yokohama.\u00a0 Either faction could win but Stardom has gotten used to doing draws, it’s also possible Oedo Tai just get DQ’d.<\/p>\n

Goddess Of Stardom Tag League: MOMOAZ (Momo Watanabe & AZM) vs AphroditE (Saya Kamitani & Utami Hayashishita)\"Takumi<\/a><\/strong><\/h3>\n

In June these two teams wrestled to a 20 minute draw in a highly praised match.\u00a0 Now they meet again in different circumstances.\u00a0 Kamitani and Hayahsishita have not only had time to gel as a team but they have had quite a bit of success in the months since the previous match.\u00a0 Hayashishita won 5STAR Grand Prix and the duo captured the Goddesses Of Stardom championships.\u00a0 AZM and Watanabe have not been as successful, while AZM won the high speed championship Watanabe has come up short in a number of big matches.\u00a0 MOMOAZ need a win here to remind their fellow stablemates who the top performers in QQ are.<\/p>\n

World Of Stardom Championship: Mayu Iwatani (C) vs Takumi Iroha\"Takumi<\/a><\/strong><\/h3>\n

The ace of Marvelous Takumi Iroha promised to challenge Iwtani for the World title after their match in February.\u00a0 This weekend Iroha finally fulfills her promise as both women will look to follow up on their Match Of The Year contender.\u00a0 We’re big Iroha fans and we think there would be tonnes of benefits to giving her a run as the outsider champion.\u00a0 Not only does Iroha have a host of fresh matches waiting for her, she already has two challengers in waiting as both Hayashishita and Watanabe want a piece of her.\u00a0 Iwatani has been the standard-bearer of Stardom for almost a year now as champion but her reign may be coming to an end as she faces a woman who she has never beat in singles action.<\/p>\n
