Chihiro Hashimoto defeated STARDOM’s Hazuki in 13:48 at Sendai Girls’ August 3 event, adding momentum to the crossover storylines building toward the promotion’s highly anticipated “THE BIGGEST” show on August 24. The victory positions Hashimoto strongly heading into the upcoming event that will feature multiple STARDOM wrestlers including Starlight Kid, Natsupoi, Hazuki, and legendary veteran Aja Kong.

YUNA also secured a significant victory on the card, defeating Akira Kurogane in 10:13 to earn a shot at the Sendai Girls Junior Title, while veteran tag team Reiwa Ultima Powers (DASH Chisako & Hiroyo Matsumoto) defeated Yura Suzuki & ZONES in 11:45. The longest match of the evening saw Red Energy (Mika Iwata & Miyuki Takase) claim victory over Manami & Ryo Mizunami in 14:14.

THE BIGGEST Generates Crossover Buzz

The August 3 results have intensified anticipation for THE BIGGEST, which represents one of the most significant inter-promotional collaborations in modern joshi puroresu. The card featuring multiple STARDOM stars alongside Sendai Girls regulars has generated considerable excitement among fans eager to see fresh matchups between wrestlers who rarely compete against each other.

Hazuki’s appearance on the August 3 show, despite the loss to Hashimoto, demonstrates the ongoing one-upmanship between the promotions’ wrestlers and provides a preview of the star power that will be on display at THE BIGGEST. The inclusion of established STARDOM favorites like Starlight Kid and Natsupoi alongside veteran legend Aja Kong creates an intergenerational appeal that spans different eras of women’s wrestling.

These crossover events reflect the evolving landscape of joshi puroresu, where inter-promotional cooperation is creating new opportunities for both wrestlers and fans. The collaborations allow promotions to showcase their talent to wider audiences while generating fresh storylines that wouldn’t be possible within a single promotion’s roster.

With STARDOM having rapidly established itself as one of Japan’s premier women’s wrestling promotions, its willingness to work with established companies like Sendai Girls demonstrates the collaborative spirit driving the current renaissance in joshi wrestling. THE BIGGEST promises to be a showcase of this cooperative approach, with the August 3 results providing the perfect foundation for the crossover excitement to come.

At the 8/24 event, Mika Iwata is sure to give current IWGP Women’s champ Sareee one of her hardest-hitting matches of the summer — a match many in Japan is hotly anticipating.
