Runaway Wrestler presents ALL STAR GRAND QUEENDOM 2024 - WrestleFile Historical Verdict

Momo Kohgo opens the building's Stardom card with a 6:11 win over Ranna Yagami, using Nectar Peach to finish the rookie. The match is useful more for setting and career chronology than for major competitive consequence. Yagami is still early in her first year, while Kohgo supplies an established STARS opponent who can carry the opening role. The result gives the new Yokohama BUNTAI its first Stardom winner without consuming time needed by the title-heavy main card.

The second pre-show match gives Cosmic Angels a straightforward 8:57 win, with Yuna Mizumori pinning Rian after TP Sunshine. Aya Sakura and Rian both receive time on the largest Stardom card of the spring, while Lady C provides the opposing team with a more experienced anchor. The finish protects Lady C and lets Mizumori carry the decisive moment. It is developmental roster work rather than a major angle, but it gives the undercard a useful bridge into the Future title opener.

Rina makes her eighth successful Future of Stardom Championship defense by beating Sayaka Kurara in 8:58 with the diving double-knee drop. Kurara had only recently moved from trainee status into regular Cosmic Angels competition, so receiving a title opportunity on this card is itself a developmental milestone. Rina's win keeps her long defense count moving toward the division record while allowing Kurara to show progress without rushing another rookie into a title change. The match establishes the championship stakes before the card moves into faction and senior-title stories.

Konami's regular Stardom return is the core of this 11:49 six-woman tag. She rejoins Syuri and Ami Sohrei in God's Eye and submits Waka Tsukiyama with the Triangle Lancer, giving the comeback a direct result rather than a ceremonial appearance. Xena and HANAKO keep E nexus V represented without taking the fall, while the Artist title context around both factions gives the match more value than a standard mid-card tag. The result immediately reestablishes Konami inside a faction that formed while she was away.

Saya Kamitani wins the High Speed Championship in 6:58 by pinning Fukigen Death with a Frankensteiner. The four-way format protects champion Saki Kashima from taking the deciding fall, but the rules still make Kamitani the new champion and give the event its only title change. Saya Iida adds another credible challenger after recent wins over Kashima, while Fukigen's presence creates the opening for the finish. The victory begins a new phase for Kamitani after her return from injury and gives the High Speed division a champion with a very different physical profile.

Mina Shirakawa and Natsuko Tora reach 9:32 before Thekla's return turns the special singles match into a no contest. The finish sacrifices competitive resolution, but the angle has lasting faction value: Thekla attacks Shirakawa and aligns with Oedo Tai after Donna del Mondo's dissolution. Tora's earlier interference-heavy control makes the return feel integrated into the match rather than pasted onto the end. For a pure rewatch the non-finish is a weakness; for Stardom's 2024 faction chronology it is one of the show's key transition points.

STARDOM's original April 27, 2024 Yokohama BUNTAI event report confirms Aja Kong and Kaoru Ito defeating meltear's Tam Nakano and Natsupoi in 16:59, with Kong pinning Nakano after a diving back elbow drop. The promotion explicitly presented this as Kong and Ito's first STARDOM appearances together, linking major historical joshi performers to its modern headline women's division. The result did not change a title: the World, Wonder, IWGP Women's and Goddesses championship matches were separate contests on the same All Star Grand Queendom card. Pinning Nakano rather than Natsupoi made the veteran pairing's special-attraction victory unmistakable, while assessments of its in-ring quality are subjective and must be kept separate from documented title stakes. The existing A/9.0 editorial score rewards this generational context. For historians following legacy figures and modern meltear, the source-confirmed sixteen-minute result supports a distinct Watch tier rather than leaving this high-priority generational bout among optional Skims.

Crazy Star makes its second successful Goddesses of Stardom Championship defense in an 11:16 four-way, with Mei Seira pinning Ruaka after Checkmate. The result itself keeps the belts on Suzu Suzuki and Seira while protecting FWC and 02Line from the deciding fall. The aftermath is even more important: Oedo Tai blames Starlight Kid for the loss, attacks her and formally expels her from the faction before Tam Nakano intervenes. The match therefore preserves the tag title direction while becoming the vehicle for one of Stardom's biggest faction changes of 2024.

Mayu Iwatani and Sareee finally deliver the singles title match that had fallen through four years earlier. They receive 20:26 and work the bout as a meeting between peers with overlapping joshi histories rather than a champion versus temporary outsider. Iwatani wins with the two-stage Dragon Suplex Hold to make her fifth successful IWGP Women's Championship defense. Sareee remains protected by the competitive presentation and immediately makes clear that she still wants the belt. Tsukasa Fujimoto's post-match appearance opens another old-history thread, giving the segment a second layer beyond the long-delayed match itself.

The match carried two different threads into the same finish. Iwatani was defending the IWGP women's title she had taken from Mercedes Moné a year earlier, while Sareee sought the singles confrontation they had lost when earlier plans fell through. The two-stage Dragon Suplex Hold therefore closed a postponed personal attraction without ending Sareee's interest in the belt. The post-match challenge and appearance of Fujimoto ensured this historical encounter also pointed toward future rivals.

Saori Anou's second Wonder of Stardom Championship defense gives Cinderella Tournament winner Hanan 21:24 in her first challenge for one of Stardom's top singles belts. Hanan's performance matters even in defeat because it confirms that the tournament victory has changed her place on the card. Anou wins with Special Pottering after surviving Hanan's late run, then Ami Sohrei and Natsupoi both emerge as prospective challengers. The match protects the champion, validates Hanan's rise and immediately creates the next white-belt direction without needing a title change.

The Cinderella Tournament victory had already made Hanan a more credible singles contender, but a tournament trophy and a successful white-belt challenge are different achievements. Anou's retention preserved that distinction. By lasting more than twenty minutes with the champion, Hanan could demonstrate the progress behind her tournament success without receiving a premature title change. Anou in turn had to prepare for fresh challengers as Sohrei and Natsupoi moved forward after the result.

Maika and Momo Watanabe close the event with 35:05 spread across three distinct stages. Watanabe wins the normal first fall in 14:14 with Peach Thunder, putting the champion behind immediately. Maika evens the match in the 12:37 hardcore stage with a Michinoku Driver II, then wins the 8:14 last-woman-standing stage after the spinning Michinoku Driver II. The structure gives Watanabe a genuine pin over the champion while requiring Maika to recover across two increasingly demanding stipulations. The victory becomes Maika's fourth successful World title defense and one of the most unusual red-belt matches of the era.

The first fall made the champion's predicament tangible: Watanabe had already pinned Maika before the contest became harder and more physical. A second-stage victory alone would only restore parity, so the final standing count had to settle the overall series. Maika's two-fall comeback showed she could withstand both a conventional wrestling loss and the more violent stipulations preferred by her Oedo Tai opponent. The recorded overall score was two falls to one, not three independent title defenses.
