On May 23rd, STARDOM held its STARDOM QUEENS DYNASTY 2026 event at Toyoda Gosei Memorial Gymnasium ENTRIO with a sold out crowd of 1,854 fans in attendance.<\/p>\n

The featured bout saw Sayaka Kurara making her first defense of the World of STARDOM championship against the challenge of Maki Itoh. After a tough bout from the formidable Itoh, Kurara hit her patented spear to end the match at the 21:51 mark.<\/p>\n

After the bout, Kurara attempted to shake the hand of her defeated challenger as a show of respect. Itoh did not accept the handshake and connected with a stunner before leaving the ring.<\/p>\n
