Production[edit]

Background[edit]

The show featured five professional wrestling matches that result from scripted storylines, where wrestlers portrayed villains, heroes, or less distinguishable characters in the scripted events that built tension and culminated in a wrestling match or series of matches.[4]

Event[edit]

The event started with the three-way bout contested for the High Speed Championship between reigning champion and one half of the Goddess of Stardom Champions Mei Seira, Saki Kashima and Ram Kaicho solded with the victory of Kashima who won the title for the second time in her career, ending Seira's reign at 178 days and four defenses. In the second bout Momo Watanabe, Starlight Kid and Stephanie Vaquer defeated AZM, Saya Kamitani and Camron Branae in six-woman tag team competition. After the bout, AZM and Vaquer exchanged some heat ahead of their confrontation for the latter's Strong Women's Championship which was set to occur at Windy City Riot on April 12, 2024. Next up, All Elite Wrestling's Willow Nightingale and Saki defeated Syuri and Konami in tag team action. In the fourth bout, IWGP Women's Champion Mayu Iwatani, Momo Kohgo and Tam Nakano defeated one third of the Artist of Stardom Champions Mina Shirakawa, Mariah May and Xia Brookside who reunited as the old unit of Club Venus for one-night only. After the bout concluded, Toni Storm made a surprise return to Stardom to take May away of Shirakawa as the two of them shared a storyline relationship in AEW. Storm teased a possible future confrontation for the AEW Women's Championship against Shirakawa, mentioning that the "Forbidden Door" is always open.[5]

In the main event, Maika defeated former Divine Kingdom tag team partner Megan Bayne to secure the third consecutive defense of the World of Stardom Championship. Momo Watanabe stepped up as the next challenger after Maika initially denied the latter's challenge laid at Stardom Cinderella Tournament 2024.[6][7]
