We are fast approaching STARDOM’s biggest show in history yet, All Star Grand Queendom, taking place next April. However, the road is bumpy, rough and full of risk. Next Sunday, the World and Wonder of Stardom Championships will be defended against two intense challengers.
There will be a press conference tonight at 6PM JST for the March 4 show in Osaka, which is the Triangle Derby Finals PPV.https://t.co/ICTNuryJKU pic.twitter.com/ExJdsJlSHl

Saya Kamitani has reigned for over a year as Wonder champion. In fact, it’s been so long since she actually won the white belt when Utami Hayashishita was still holding her belt’s scarlet counterpart -albeit for about an hour, meaning that throughout her whole run, she’s already seen three different World of Stardom Champions.
Now, a classic fan-favorite in the joshi community is coming to stop Saya’s legendary reign. Hazuki has never been defeated by Saya, and this time she’ll make it decisive in her fifth attempt to grab the prize that symbolizes the spirit of STARDOM. Hazuki would later add insult to injury by riling up the crowd to agree that Saya’s reign has become tiresome.

On the other side of the spectrum, the newwer World of Stardom Champion Giulia cannot catch a break when it comes to enemies of her past. In her Ice Ribbon days, three attempts weren’t enough to defeat Maya Yukihi. Much less take her ICExInfinity Championship on their third match against each other. But that was a younger, inexperienced Giulia.
The leader of Donna del Mondo forged a path of opportunism and doublecrossing in her way to the top of STARDOM, and now she can finally say she conquered the prize that symbolizes the Goddess of the Fighting World.
Unfortunately, Maya has arrived to remind everyone about Giulia’s true nature. She expressed little to no interest on the belt itself, but thanks to Giulia’s insistence, she’s now far too deep into the picture. March 4th will define if Giulia has truly grown, or if she’s still that young, inexperienced rookie, hiding behind all those feathers.
.@yukihi_maya to @giulia0221g: "A career and glory that you piled up by hurting and grieving people? Is that how you earned your success? Your belt? I would feel terrible if people looked down on me for that." [contd.]#STARDOM #雪妃真矢 #ジュリア #DDMpic.twitter.com/kefLMe0Fjf
