STARDOM made a triumphant return to pay-per-view with the thrilling event, STARDOM SUNSHINE 2023, which took place this past Sunday. In a departure from the norm, neither Tam Nakano's esteemed World Championship nor the highly coveted Wonder of Stardom Championship were up for grabs. Instead, the show's main attractions centered around two intense Steel Cage matches, with the main event promising an All Out War. This climactic battle featured the fierce rivalry between Queen's Quest and Oedo Tai, who clashed within the confines of the imposing Steel Cage. The stakes were high, as the last participant standing in the ring would be forced to bid farewell to their faction, adding an extra layer of intensity to the already volatile encounter.
Furthermore, the event boasted another historic moment as it showcased the inaugural title match contested within a Steel Cage. The Bari Bari Bombers trio, consisting of Giulia, Mai Sakurai, and Thekla, valiantly defended their Artist of Stardom Championship against the formidable STARS trio, composed of Mayu Iwatani, Hazuki, and Koguma. This groundbreaking matchup raised the excitement to new heights, as both teams displayed their unwavering determination and skill within the unforgiving Steel Cage structure.
STARDOM SUNSHINE 2023 proved to be a captivating spectacle, delivering unforgettable moments and showcasing the incredible talent and ferocity of the competitors involved.
