feels odd that a Stardom title is being defended on a show airing live on Wrestle Universe, but there you go...

HANAKO had a good match vs Mayu in the opener too (link below)

from yesterdays PPV:
Natsupoi new Wonder of Stardom champion defeating Saori.

big happenings today from the PPV:
Mei Seira - new High Speed champ defeating Saya Kamitani
Tora Natsuko defeated Maika to become the World of Stardom champion, after her arch-enemy Kamitani cost Maika the title. yes, you read that correctly. After costing Saya her unit, she decided to join Tora in Oedo Tai BUT they're no longer Oedo Tai now. New group has been renamed HATE. (also Tora decided not to be a part of the 5 Star GP, so gave her spot to Ruaka)

 

[Cleavy]

all shows for the 5 Star GP will be shown live (opening show and the finals are PPV only), but everything else live on Stardom World. definitely makes it a lot easier to follow.

H.A.T.E. (Harass Abuse Terrorize Eradicate) attacked Tam, Poi and Saori after they won the Artists titles from EXV yesterday and cut Tam’s hair and Pillmanised her knee. So they’re next on the hit list.
