Eight matches were contested at the event, including two on the pre-show, and four of Stardom's ten championships were on the line. The main event saw Tam Nakano defeat Natsuko Tora to retain the World of Stardom Championship.

Production

Background

The show featured eight professional wrestling matches that result from scripted storylines, where wrestlers portray villains, heroes, or less distinguishable characters in the scripted events that build tension and culminate in a wrestling match or series of matches.[3] The event's press conference took place on September 12, 2023, and was broadcast live on Stardom's YouTube channel.[4]

Event

The event started with the preshow confrontation between the teams of Ami Sourei, Lady C and Hanan, and Miyu Amasaki, Yuna Mizumori and Ruaka, and was broadcast live on Stardom's YouTube channel. Sourei scored the pin for her team's victory. In the second preshow bout, Mei Seira defeated Saki Kashima to win the High Speed Championship for the first time in her career, ending Kashima's reign on her fourth defense.[5]

The first main card bout saw one half of the Goddess of Stardom Champions Saori Anou defeating AZM in what was dubbed as a 5Star Special singles match. In the fourth match, God's Eye's leader Syuri defeated Club Venus leader Mina Shirakawa by way of knockout in a UWF Rules match after Syuri was leading at a (3-2) point score. After the bout concluded, a video of Shirakawa getting attacked by a masked silhouette was shown and Dump Matsumoto was revealed to be the attacker. A potential future confrontation between them was hinted for Halloween Dark Night for October 29, 2023. In the fifth bout, Giulia, Thekla and Mai Sakurai defeated Megan Bayne, Maika and Suzu Suzuki to retain the Artist of Stardom Championship for the second time in that respective reign. After the bout concluded, Maika attacked Suzuki as she reminisced the tensions between them following the finals of the 2023 Grand Prix where Maika ended the competition as a runner up, spilling her frustrations over Suzuki who came out champion. Giulia tried to stop Maika but the latter walked out of the arena leaving her Donna Del Mondo stablemates behind. In the sixth bout, Mirai defeated Momo Watanabe to retain the Wonder of Stardom Championship for the second time consecutively in that reign. In the semi main event, Kairi, Nanae Takahashi and IWGP Women's Champion Mayu Iwatani defeated Hazuki, Koguma and Saya Iida in which was Kairi's last match in Stardom before pursuing her second stint with WWE.[6][7]

In the main event, Tam Nakano defeated Natsuko Tora to retain the World of Stardom Championship for the third time consecutively in that respective reign. After the bout concluded, Suzu Suzuki the 2023 Grand Prix Winner came down to remind Nakano of her number one contendership for the red belt and about their match which was scheduled for Halloween Dark Night on October 29, 2023.[8][9]
