[Pre Show - Match 1] Aya Sakura vs Kikyo Furusawa
Singles Record: 1 - 0 Aya Sakura

I swear. This company wants to have a broken heart regardless of who wins. And yes, that singles record tally does not deceive you. These two have faced each other before and it was last year in a singles match before a Korakuen Hall show. Obviously, a lot has changed since last year especially Maki Itoh got signed. So I have expecting a bare bones pre-show match. I am not picking anyone here since I don't want neither of them to lose. And it's my blog, I can do that.
[Pre-Show - Match 2] Akira Kurogane & Anne Kanaya vs Matoi Hamabe & Kiyoka Kotatsu

This is a tag team bout that is meant for the rookies to get a spot on the show. Good to STARDOM for wanting their wrestlers to have a spot on the card. I think that Kurogane and Kanaya will win this one since I just watched the first match from the latest Korakuen Hall show. I will keep watching as much as I can as the day goes on.
[Pre-Show - Match 3] High Speed Champion Yuna Mizumori vs Xena vs Tomoka Inaba vs Tabata [CMLL] vs Momo Kohgo vs Lady C

Since Yuna Mizumori doesn't have a challenger for her High Speed Title, there is now a High Speed 6 Way bout which will likely determine the next challenger for later down the line. They already did Momo in the last High Speed Multi match, so we can't circle back to her again. It could be Xena given STARDOM's way of using foreigners as obstacles. Tabata could be, but she hasn't done much and also, how long is her excursion from CMLL? Tomoka Inaba is probably the most obvious "Not Gonna Happen" on the list. Lady C is likely gonna get this, since they might make a story about her not wanting to do High Speed matches. So I am predicting Lady C to win this one.
Natsupoi vs Maki Itoh
Singles Record: 1 - 1

The first match of the Pay Per View was Natsupoi vs Maki Itoh. This feud dates back to their time in Tokyo Joshi Pro Wrestling as Natsupoi has more animosity for Maki Itoh and it's prevalant here. Since it is Maki Itoh eccentric feud, of course, it goes off the rails. I have still yet to the latest Korakuen Hall show, but I did see the video of the Kawaii Star talking to Natsupoi. This is hilarious for all the right reasons. I am predicting that Maki Itoh takes it here, but I wouldn't be surprised if it was the latter.
Tag Team Gauntlet Match
Teams: Gorilla Trigger (Saya Iida & Bea Priestley), God's Eye (Ami Sourei & Hina), FWC (Hazuki & Koguma), Reckless Fantasy (Rian & Waka Tsukiyama), Devil Princess (Rina & Azusa Inaba) and Neo Genesis (Starlight Kid & Mei Seira)

Yes. A Tag Team... Gauntlet Match. I understand wanting people on the card, but a Gauntlet Match?? Like that is a lot of people to cycle through. So we have Gorilla Trigger, Sourei & Hina, FWC, Reckless Fantasy, Devil Princess and Kid & Seira. That is a lot of people. Given the records of all the factions this year, my money is on Neo Genesis to win this.
Ranna Yagami (c) vs Ema Maishima - Future Of Stardom Championship

Ema Maishima have earned this opportunity after winning the Rookie Of Stardom 2026 Tournament. Ranna Yagami has defended her Future Of Stardom title belt twice so far. One great defense against Aya Sakura and another one against Pro Wrestling Diana's Honoka. This will also be the next episode of Dynamic Thunder Connection as well. I am obviously picking Ema Maishima to win here. I like Ranna Yagami, but I am all aboard the Ema train.
Saori Anou vs Fuwa-chan

The one special singles bout that has been an odd build up since the Cinderella Tournament. Since Fuwa-chan has had a decorated career being one of the best comedians to receive big deals, she has a way of annoying people. The target on her annoying list since she has started to fully commit to professional wrestling is Saori Anou, who I just a blog about by the way. Saori Anou has been accepting this simply because she wants to use Fuwa-chan's popularity to spotlight herself. I am picking Saori Anou to get the win here.
Saki Kashima - Retirement Ceremony

This one isn't a match, but it is retirement ceremony for Saki Kashima. Like I have said throughout, I haven't watched the Korakuen Hall show at the time of writing. Saki Kashima had her last match on that show teaming with Syuri to take on MOMOAZ (Momo Watanabe & AZM) in the Semi Main Event. Saki Kashima has had a great 15 year career and I do wish her a happy retirement from professional wrestling.
Bloody Girls' School (Suzu Suzuki & Rina Yamashita) vs Hai High Mate (Maika & HANAKO) - Special Hardcore Match
Matches Between Both Factions (including other participants) in 2025 & 2026: 26 Matches
 |
| Credit: STARDOM |
The longest running feud in STARDOM's 2026 calendar year is Mi Vida Loca and Empress Nexus Venus (or E neXus V). E neXus V would disband following their 5 on 4 Gauntlet lost to Mi Vida Loca in February at Supreme Fight. In this case, Maika and HANAKO would be feuding with primarily Rina Yamashita and Suzu Suzuki until this point. I am thinking of two things that might happen. One, Maika and HANAKO will be winning this as a team. Or two, HANAKO betrays Maika and Bloody Girls School get the win.
Syuri (c) vs Megan Bayne - IWGP Women's Championship

One of the big time bouts for the show is Syuri defending IWGP Women's Championship against Megan Bayne. This match was announced at the ASGQ press conference and it was met with more criticism on the Western side of social media when Megan Bayne was announced as the opponent. The reason is that a lot of people expected the opponent to be Sendai Girls World Champion Chihiro Hashimoto. Even though Syuri beat beforehand at the SENJO Korakuen Hall show. Syuri is who I expect to beat Megan Bayne, but I wouldn't be surprised if Taro Okada pulls a switch.
BMI2000 (Natsuko Tora & Ruaka) (c) vs 02line (Miyu Amasaki & AZM) - Goddesses Of Stardom Championship
Direct Tag Record: 3 - 0 BMI2000

| Credit: STARDOM |
This match has loads of intrigue as this will the 4th match between these two teams and the second time it's for the Goddesses Of Stardom Titles. The build to this ties into the following two matches, but has it's own narrative running through it. Natsuko Tora and Ruaka have been trying to get into the mind of Kevin (Miyu Amasaki) throughout. So it might lead to Kevin potentially betraying AZM. I honestly think that it isn't going to happen, so I hope 02line wins. It does seem that Kevin will get the win for her team.
Konami (c) vs Hanan - Wonder Of Stardom Championship
Singles Record: 2 - 0 Konami

Konami has been an unorthodox and even crazy than she is as Wonder Of Stardom Champion. Hanan will be challenging for the title after winning the Cinderella Tournament and making that wish. The build throughout has been a crazy especially at the presser where Konami brought out every single messy picture frame of all people she beat throughout her reign. Now that is some petty and villainous shit, I'll be honest with you.
Saya Kamitani (c) vs Sayaka Kurara - World Of Stardom Championship
Singles Record: 4 - 0 Saya Kamitani
Stipulation: If Sayaka Kurara loses, Cosmic Angels will be disbanded.

The main event of the show will be Saya Kamitani defending the World Of Stardom Championship in her 2nd consecutive year in a row against the woman from last year's Korakuen Hall show, Sayaka Kurara. This match was heavily criticized upon the feud reigniting at Supreme Fight in February. It stems from Sayaka Kurara's position on the card at that point and she got pinned earlier before throwing out the challenge to Kamitani. Throughout the course of 2 months, Kurara has proven to be a viable challenger to Kamitani compared to the last they faced off. Since Kamitani is a HATE member and I don't want to see Cosmic Angels disband, I am rooting for Sayaka Kurara.
Now who will rule the kingdom?
Post: I am so excited for ASGQ on Sunday. I have a good feeling that they have a great show and the business side is none of my business. Hope the ladies show out and have a great show. Thank you for reading and I'll see you next time.
Kind Regards,
ZERO (or Archer)
