By: Lewis Carlan

On Nov. 3rd, STARDOM held it’s latest major event STARDOM CRIMSON NIGHTMARE 2025 at the Ota City General Gymnasium in Tokyo. The card featured a total of eight matches which included three championship bouts.

In the double title main event, Saya Kamitani made her seventh defense of the World of STARDOM Championship and her first defense of the NJPW STRONG Women’s title against the winner of the STARDOM’s 5 Star Grand Prix 2025 tournament Momo Watanabe. In a hard fought electrifying match that could have gone either way, it was Kamitani who was able to finish off Watanabe at the 21:31 mark after hitting a Revolution Style Star Crusher to retain both of her championships.

Following Kamitani’s victory, the IWGP Women’s Champion Syuri appeared and challenged her to a double title match for the IWGP Women’s Title and Kamitani’s NJPW STRONG Women’s Championship at NJPW’s WRESTLE KINGDOM 20 on Jan. 4th 2026 at the Tokyo Dome.

Saori Anou also appeared and challenged Kamitani for the World of STARDOM title at STARDOM DREAM QUEENDOM 2025 on December 29th at Ryogoku Kokugikan.
