• Suzu Suzuki will return to action on this show after being pulled from Natsupoi and Saori Anou’s 10th Anniversary show due to poor health.
• After her victory over Alex Windsor in Pro-Wrestling EVE on Friday 6th June, it was confirmed that Syuri and Sareee would battle for the IWGP Women’s Championship at THE CONVERSION on 21st June in Yoyogi.
• Her match against Ranna Yagami will be Sareee’s first singles match in the company since the 2024 loss to Mayu Iwatani the last time she challenged for the IWGP Women’s Championship.
• Rian has wrestled 123 matches in Stardom without securing a pinfall victory. Whoever wins the match between her and Akira Kurogane will face Hina for the Future of Stardom Championship.
• Attendance Note: The announced attendance inside Korakuen Hall in Tokyo was 1405. This continues a trend of 15 of the last 16 Korakuen Hall shows to exceed 1,000 people, and is now the eleventh Korakuen Hall show in a row to surpass 1,000 people; made all the more impressive when you consider that no title matches were on this card, it is the second show in a row with no big Saya Kamitani match, and it is still a 19.47% increase on the previous show which did feature a White Belt match between Starlight Kid and HANAKO (1,176 on 21st May). This number brings Stardom’s average attendance for the 168 shows they have ran at the venue to 945.

Show Notes

• Following the Future of Stardom number one contendership match, Hina marched out and congratulated the youngster, with the pair making their future title match official for the upcoming CONVERSION PPV.
• Ami Sourei made her way to the ring to announce that she would be finally returning to the ring after almost a year out with injury. It was on July 10th 2024 that Ami announced that she would be out for an extended period of time following both an ACL and MCL tear. A spokesperson from Stardom informed us that Sohrei had actually been wrestling through the pain of an ACL injury for some time before that, but then suffered a torn meniscus on top of that. However, Sourei confirmed at today’s Korakuen Hall show that she will be returning to the ring for the first time in eleven months at THE CONVERSION on June 21st in Yoyogi.
• After pinning Saya with the Fairial Gift, Natsupoi made an official challenge for the Goddesses of Stardom Championships on the behalf of her and Saori Anou, which Saya and Hanan very quickly accepted. The two teams went to a time-limit draw in last year’s tag league.
• Syuri made a suprise appearance having only wrestled in the UK on Friday evening after the Ranna vs. Sareee match, to confront Sareee. Having successfully defended the IWGP Women’s Championship against Alex Windsor on Friday night, Syuri and Sareee shook hands on her second title defence coming up at THE CONVERSION on June 21st in Yoyogi!
• Momo Watanabe confronted AZM following the main event and made it clear that she would be gunning for her former-best friend’s NJPW STRONG Women’s Championship.
