STARDOM held its “15TH ANNIVERSARY STARDOM AWARD 2026 IN TAKADANOBABA DAY 1” event in front of 425 fans at the Belle Salle Takadanobaba venue.
The featured match was a huge eight woman tag team bout that marked the the in-ring return of World of STARDOM champion Saya Kamitani. Kamitani had been out for a few weeks due to health issues.
In her return, Kamitani teamed with fellow H.A.T.E. unit members Wonder of STARDOM Champion Konami & Goddesses of STARDOM Champions Natsuko Tora & Ruaka as they battled Starlight Kid, Ami Sohrei, Hanan & Bea Priestley. Kamitani and Starlight Kid got the bout kicked off as the two went toe to toe giving the fans a sample of what to expect when they meet for the World of STARDOM title on Feb. 7th.
The entire match was a wild affair as expected with lots of hard-hitting action and near falls. In the end it was Ami Sohrei hitting her Raiden Shiku on Konami to score the pin at the 15:22 mark to win the match for her team.
After the match, Sohrei, who had expressed interest in Konami’s White Belt previously, took the mic and outright challenged her to a title bout on Feb. 7th at STARDOM SUPREME FIGHT IN OSAKA 2026. Konami accepted and the match is expected to be made official by STARDOM.
Here is the in-ring exchange between Sohrei & Konami following the match:
From Ami Sohrei:
“I beat the White Belt Champion, Konami! Konami, did you know? Konami, you… you have never once beaten me directly! February 7th, title challenge. No complaints now, right!”
From Konami:
“February 7th in Osaka, was it? I just happen to be free, so I’ll play with you.”
