KAIRI Wrestled Two High-Profile Matches While Injured By: J. Curbelo It was a monumental weekend for women's professional wrestling in Japan as STARDOM had two back-to-back shows, including the much anticipated Historic X-Over featuring talent from New Japan Pro Wrestling.

Despite the frustrating result, KAIRI had one more opportunity at greatness on Sunday's joint event as she was set to face co-finalist of the inaugural IWGP Women's Championship tournament, Mayu Iwatani. Two of the three Daughters of STARDOM wrestled an emotional 25 minute match that saw KAIRI picking up the win and making history as the beginning of a new legacy unfolded…

History was always going to be made in many ways at Ariake Arena.

As the men of New Japan Pro Wrestling and the women of STARDOM came together for their first ever joint show, all eyes were on the two biggest promotions in Japan.

Things don’t always go to plan in pro wrestling. In those situations, all you can hope for is that nobody gets hurt.

Gold Rush lived up to its name. Beyond just a couple of big championship battles, four teams fought in a two round tournament in order to win the ‘MoneyBall’.
