BITE-SIZE SHOW REPORT: Stardom in Takasaki 2024 (Saturday, 14th December 2024)

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.
Due to her suspension after attacking ringside personnel during the Goddesses of Stardom Tag League show on the 7th December, Thekla will be missing from all Stardom cards until the 22nd December.
Hazuki will miss the shows on both the 14th and the 15th December as she is in the United States in order to challenge Mercedes Mone for the NJPW Strong Women’s Championship at the Walter Pyramid in California.
Attendance Notes: The announced attendance for the show in G Messe Gunma Exhibition Hall C is 409 people, making it the second biggest house of the four times Stardom have run the venue (the highest being the 423 in November 2023 on Night 11 of the Goddesses of Stardom Tag League). The 409 announced is a 6.5% increase on the previous time Stardom ran the venue (384 in February 2024).

Following her pinning Mei Seira during the 6-woman tag team match between NEO-GENESIS and STARS, Momo Kohgo made her challenge for the High-Speed Championship. This has since been made official for Stardom’s upcoming Korakuen Hall show on December 24th.
During a post-match interview alongside Mayu Iwatani and Koguma, Matoi Hamabe answered the question as to what faction she wanted to be in by answering ‘God’s Eye’ which greatly offended Koguma.
Natsupoi came to the ring with her Kairi Hojo gear on – emblematic of the White Belt Starlight Kid will be challenging Poi for in Ryogoku on December 29th. It feels like Natsupoi’s way of showing just how focused on her championship she is in the face of Starlight Kid’s challenge.
As a result of pinning Rina in the main event, HANAKO and Waka Tsukiyama – Rice or Bread – formerly challenged for Rina and Azusa Inaba’s New Blood Tag Team Championships. This will be Rice or Bread’s second attempt at the belts during DEVIL/PRINCESS’s reign, having lost back at New Blood 16 in October.
