Notes
- Ami Sohrei will be absent from all cards as she begins the process of recovering from ACL and meniscus tears in her knee.
- Xena has suffered a ligament injury in her knee, and will be out of action for an undisclosed period of time.
- This show will mark Kaori Yoneyama’s return to Stardom in-ring action for the first time since 4th August – coincidentally in this very venue – after sustaining an ACL injury.
- Should she make it to the final with victories over BMI2000 and FWC, Maika will become the first person to make it to back-to-back 5Star and Goddesses of Stardom Tag League finals in the same year.
- Should Saya Iida and HANAKO make it through to the finals, it would mark their first respective major tournament finals, with Saya Iida having waited 5 years for her own tournament debut bow.
- Attendance Notes: The announced attendance for the show inside Act City Hamamatsu – the first of a back-to-back set over the weekend of the 7th and 8th December – was 572. This marks the 14th time that the company have run the venue, with this being the 7th highest attendance (the highest being the 810 drawn to night 10 of the 2024 5Star Grand Prix in August). Though still a solid number, it marks a 19% decrease from the last time Stardom ran the venue (707 in August of 2024)

Show Notes
- Following the culmination of the all-Cosmic Angels tag team match, Tam’s post-match congratulations of Sakuradamon was cut short by Unagi Sayaka’s music, marking the first time she has been in a Stardom ring since December 2022 following her firing. Unagi embraced her former-stable mate before slapping her across the face and lambasting her and Stardom for becoming boring. She then challenged Tam to a match on January 3rd at New Year Dream, a match that Nakano accepted.
- In the lead-up to their IWGP Women’s Championship match at Wrestle Kingdom 19, Mayu Iwatani made sure to taunt AZM with the belt following the latter’s submission victory over Matoi Hamabe.
- After choking out Syuri during the H.A.T.E vs. God’s Eye 10-woman tag team match, Konami laid out a challenge to her former-friend by saying that if she wanted her so bad, they could have a clean match at Dream Queendom 2024 in Ryogoku Kokugikan on December 29th.
- In defeating FWC to progress to the Goddesses of Stardom Tag League finals tomorrow, Maika becomes the first person to make it to back-to-back finals in the 5Star Grand Prix and Goddesses of Stardom Tag League in the same year. For HANAKO it marks a first major tournament final, and puts her at five pinfall victories over the tournament – at the time of the writing, the highest in the tournament so far.
- Maika joins a group of only 6 other women to have reached the finals of the Goddesses of Stardom Tag League, the others being Kairi Hojo, Mayu Iwatani, Io Shirai, Yoko Bito, Momo Watanabe and Bea Priestley.
- In defeating SaoriPoi to progress to the Goddesses of Stardom Tag League finals tomorrow, Saya Iida makes it to the first ever major tournament final of her 5-year Stardom career. Hanan meanwhile becomes the first person since Giulia in 2020 to make it to both the Cinderella Tournament and Goddesses of Stardom Tag League finals in the same year, with her being the first person since Arisa Hoshiki in 2019 to win both tournaments in the same calendar year should Winggori defeat Cup High Mate.
- Of the 81 finalists in Goddesses of Stardom Tag League history, Hanan becomes the 7th youngest – only being beaten out by AZM (18 & 19), Yoshiko (18 & 19), Momo Watanabe (18) and Utami Hayashishita (20).
