The final 4 will meet in a one-fall to a finish 4-way match in Hachioji on 12/22 airing live on Stardom World
(Cause Stardom don’t fuck around with tournaments lol).
Who seem like the most likely candidates to win? I recognize quite a few of the names, but not where they might be on the card.
Except Fukigen Death. As much as I’ve loved clips of her, my understanding is she isn’t high on the card lol

Yeah at this point in her career Kaori’s Stardom ceiling is probably just more tag/trios/high speed title runs, but shes a legend, shes allowed to coast as an evil clown lol.
Hanan vs. Saki Kashima vs. Yuna Mizumori vs. Momo Watanabe
I don’t see Yuna winning over the other 3. Hanan’s been having a killer year between the Cinderella, a high 5STAR ranking and co-winning the Goddesses tournament. Saki is a wild card cause of the kishikaisei since she’s beaten everyone with it. Momo could also take it cause it’s Momo but I’d see Hanan taking this one.
Syuri vs. Saya Iida vs. Fukigen Death vs. Ranna Yagami
Syuri wins, the end. Iida is not beating Syuri, Death-san is not beating Syuri, Ranna is a rookie and in Syuri’s unit so she’s gonna be murdered.
Tomoka Inaba vs. Koguma vs. Waka Tsukiyama vs. Rina
Rina is the 2nd most junior rookie, she gets nothing. Waka can pull off a pin on Rina, Koguma and Inaba have her number. Koguma and Inaba I could see Koguma winning it but I’m going with Inaba. Stardom is high on the Inaba sisters and 1000% is gonna be signing them once Azusa turns 18, plus Tomoka is in God’s Eye as well so her vs Syuri in the final 4 would be a fantastic match up, so Inaba wins this one.
Suzu Suzuki vs. Konami vs. Hina vs. Aya Sakura
Aya and Hina are out, this will 100% be down to Suzu and Konami. Suzu is higher on the card, has fought for the red belt, won the 2023 5STAR, etc. Konami is in a blood feud with Syuri, so this one…i’m borderline on who wins but leaning Suzu after attempted Konami-fuckery which backfires.
Soo if I’m right the final 4 will be Hanan, Syuri, Tomoka Inaba and Suzu Suzuki.
Who wins from there? Good fucking question lmao. Any of those 4 would be a fantastic representative for Stardom to be honest. Tomoka and Syuri can bring the “I can legit kill you in this ring if I forget this is a worked match” aspect which looks fantastic, Suzu is hot right now and has been for a while, especially with the rest of Neo Genesis, Hanan is gonna be (much sooner than later) a bigger name than she is now as she’ll probably be assuming leadership of STARS when Mayu leaves Stardom which could be as early as April/May potentially. We’ll see who gets where I guess!
Thank you for this awesome breakdown!
Syuri, I assume, has the most name recognition there. It seemed like she was everywhere awhile back, especially PWI. But it could be an awesome chance for someone newer (for people who don’t watch Stardom) to show up and blow everyone’s minds.
Syuri, I assume, has the most name recognition there.
I’d agree, also the biggest accomplishments as she’s the only one in this list of 12 who has held the World of Stardom title (along with a bunch of other JP indie world titles), probably followed by Momo (who held the Wonder of Stardom title for as long as Syuri later held the World title) and then Hanan for this year’s combined tournament feats/Tomoka Inaba for being the former 3x Queen of JTO Champion.
le spoilers
Was close! Winners were Suzu Suzuki, Tomoka Inaba, Syuri and they went with Momo Watanabe over Hanan.
Still unsure who will end up winning out of this four by any means lol.
Dang, you were extremely close!
