Back on Jan. 13th 2025, Go Shiozaki was defeated by Mohammed Yone in Yokohama in a match that would be his last for quite some time. Shiozaki had announced that he would be stepping away from competing in Pro Wrestling NOAH to have double knee surgery.

During major Puroresu tournaments, there is normally at least one competitor that really steps it up and surprises fans with their stellar performance.

At this year’s STARDOM 5★STAR GP tournament, that person is H.A.T.E. faction member Rina

It was one month ago today, that Rina suffered a injury scare against Ema Maishima at STARDOM New Blood 23. Rina was diagnosed with a concussion and was forced to miss three weeks of in-ring action as a result.

By: Thom Fain The NOAH Dojo Coach's stunning betrayal adds veteran leadership to wrestling's most chaotic faction In a shocking turn that sent shockwaves through the Pro Wrestling NOAH faithful, veteran Masa Kitamiya officially joined the rebellious TEAM 2000X faction over the weekend, with YOSHITATSU making the bombshell announcement backstage after the show. "This is an official announcement from TEAM 2000X… Our newest member… THE CHAIRMAN… Masa Kitamiya!" declared YOSHITATSU, as the wrestling world struggled to process the seismic shift. Kitamiya, taking on the moniker "THE CHAIRMAN," explained his decision with characteristic directness: "When you hit a dead end, you've got no choice but to carve a path with your own hands and feet. I'm the CHAIRMAN!" The Ultimate Betrayal The move represents perhaps the most stunning defection in TEAM 2000X's short but explosive history. Kitamiya, the respected Coach of the NOAH Dojo, was instrumental in training many of the…

By: Lewis Carlan Plus FULL RESULTS. Kamitani and Waka take the night show's main event On Aug, 3rd, the STARDOM 5★STAR GP 2025 headed to the Light Cube Utsunomiya for day and night events featuring more tournament action. The day event was a sell out while the night event fell a bit short of filling the venue to capacity. In the early event, Sareee earned her fourth point of the STARDOM 5★STAR GP 2025 when she defeated Hina in a Blue Stars Block B bout. The loss left Hina struggling as she remained winless in the tournament. While Hina is looking for her first win, her twin sister Rina has been experiencing a tremendous run in the tournament. Rina faced Tomoka Inaba in the night event and emerged victorious for the fourth straight time in the tournament, putting her in strong contention as the 5★STAR GP continues. The afternoon show…

By: Thom Fain 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 second day of the tournament brought the action from the TJPW Tokyo Princess Cup 12 to Hamamatsu.

On Aug. 2nd, the 601 fans in attendance at the Osaka Edion Arena #2 and everyone watching on Wrestle Universe witnessed something that never occurred before inside a Marigold ring before. At the evening Marigold DREAM★STAR GP 2025 event, current Super Flyweight Champion and Icon Mayu Iwatani faced rising blue-chip star Seri Yamaoka in the Dream League block main event.

On the fourth night of STARDOM 5★STAR GP 2025 tournament action, H.A.T.E. faction member Rina sailed to her third straight win which kept her undefeated and placed her is the sole possession of first place in the Red Stars Block B with six points.

While earning her third consecutive victory is impressive, what’s more impressive is the competitor Rina defeated to get her sixth point of the tournament.

The second event of the Marigold DREAM★STAR GP 2025 tournament took place on Aug. 2nd at the Osaka Edion Arena #2 with an evening show. There were 601 fans on hand at the Osaka Edion Arena #2 but unlike the DREAM★STAR GP 2025 day show, the night event was not a sell out.
