Entrants in the first ever women's Survival of the Fittest match for the ROH Women's World Championship have been set!
Hello, old friend (spoiler)
Thekla has once again assaulted STARDOM President, Taro Okada.
She pushed him to the mat and accused Okada of keeping her down for 5 years - but now she is on top of the world.
She said if she ever saw Okada again, she will bring her girls to STARDOM to take care of things.
She then took off her belt to whip Okada, but a single security guard got in the way.
The two masters of the Giant Swing have finally met! (Miu Watanabe and Claudio Castagnoli)
Jack Perry takes a solid bump, almost goes through real glass
What are your thoughts about tonight's STARDOM American Dream match card?
Watch tonight at 6pm ET on TrillerTV (English Commentary) - $19.99
Here are some of my thoughts:
- Both Kris Statlander and Harley Cameron make their STARDOM debuts tonight.
- The NJPW Strong Women's Championship match is intriguing. At just 4'9", Saya Iida is accustomed to battling against bigger women. If you've never seen her before, Iida is built like a wrecking ball. Alex Windsor is going to have her hands full if she wants to retain her title.
- Don't let the fact that Rina is just 19 years old fool you. Athena can't look past this H.A.T.E. member. Since this is a non-title match, Rina might just pull this one off. Plus, Rina has announced an overseas excursion. So, this may not be the last we see of her.
- Natsupoi says she is nervous that American fans won't know who she is. Well, America, be prepared, because you're about to fall in love with the Speed Fairy.
- Last year, Tony Khan cited Starlight Kid as someone he would like to see wrestle matches in AEW. If you've never seen the tiny masked luchadora before, she is incredibly talented and fun to watch.
- AEW fans will see familiar faces like AZM and HANAKO
Bold Predictions
- There have been many recent references about Thekla being fired because she attacked STARDOM President Taro Okada. I wouldn't be too shocked to see the AEW Women's World Champion show up, especially if they are trying to set up a story for Forbidden Door. If this is the plan, Thekla has quite a bit of history with Natsupoi, but I would think Tony Khan would likely favor Starlight Kid.
- Since Mina Shirakawa is on the show, it would not shock me to see Hikaru Shida show up.
