12th Goddesses of Stardom Tag League 2022: WrestleFile Historical Verdict

AZM and Miyu Amasaki close their Blue Goddess campaign with a 6:22 win, Amasaki pinning Waka Tsukiyama with Tensei. The result only brings 02line to four points, so it does not affect the block winner, but it gives Amasaki a direct winning moment after spending the league in a developmental role beside AZM. SAKI and Tsukiyama finish on two. As a final-day match it is mostly standings cleanup, yet the junior-senior structure makes it useful evidence of Amasaki's growth during her first sustained tag tournament.

MIRAI and Ami Sourei finish Blue Goddess on nine points by beating Hanan and Saya Iida in 9:13. Sourei pins Hanan after Rai no Gotoku, extending the momentum she had gained by taking the Future of Stardom Championship from Hanan at New Blood 5. The New Eras do not reach the final, but nine points makes the God's Eye pairing one of the block's stronger new teams. wing★gori finishes on two, so the match matters more for Sourei's trajectory and the credibility of MIRAI-Sourei as an ongoing combination than for the final standings.

FWC beats MaiHime in 10:18 when Hazuki catches Himeka with Hazukistral. Both established teams finish Blue Goddess on ten points, leaving them behind 7Upp but giving the final day a strong matchup between pairings with real tag history. The result preserves FWC as a dependable tournament team while keeping MaiHime near the top of the block without advancing. Because neither side is improvised, their chemistry is sharper than much of the league's developmental field, and the match works as a reminder that the new teams still have to pass established units.

Nanae Takahashi and Yuu beat BMI2000 in 13:31 and reach eleven Blue Goddess points, clinching the block. The pairing's physical style is especially effective against Natsuko Tora and Ruaka because the match does not need to manufacture size or aggression. Takahashi pinning Ruaka after the Refrigerator Bomb gives 7Upp a decisive route into the final rather than advancing through a technical tiebreak. It also forces the outsider team to win twice on the same night, which makes the later tournament victory feel earned rather than protected.

Syuri and Tomoka Inaba finish Red Goddess on nine points by beating Mai Sakurai and Lady C in 9:07. Syuri pins Lady C after a Buzzsaw Kick, giving KARATE BRAVE a strong final total without putting them through to the championship match. The team is historically useful because it continues Inaba's integration around God's Eye while giving the reigning World champion a partner who benefits from sustained exposure. Mai Fair Lady ends without a point, so the competitive suspense is limited, but the match still functions as a clean developmental close for Inaba's first major Stardom league.

Mayu Iwatani and Momo Kohgo close on six Red Goddess points by beating Saki Kashima and Fukigen Death in 5:53. The short runtime fits Kashima and Fukigen's spoiler identity and keeps the match from competing with the block-deciding bouts that follow. Kohgo gets another full tournament alongside Mayu, while the STARS pairing avoids ending the league on a loss. The standings consequence is modest, but the match reinforces Peach Rock as a developmental team built around Mayu's ability to raise a less experienced partner without turning every result into a main-event statement.

Momo Watanabe and Starlight Kid beat Giulia and Thekla in 8:22, with Kid pinning Thekla after Black Tiger Punishment. Black Desire reaches nine Red Goddess points and eliminates Mafia Bella from any final route while preserving the Oedo Tai team's standing as one of the promotion's sharper established combinations. Giulia enters the league as the recent 5 STAR GP winner, so the loss also shows how different tag structure can be from singles momentum. Thekla taking the fall protects Giulia while still giving Black Desire a meaningful final-day win over a major DDM pairing.

Utami Hayashishita and Saya Kamitani beat reigning Goddess champions Tam Nakano and Natsupoi in 9:17 to reach ten points and win Red Goddess. Kamitani pins Natsupoi after the Firebird Splash, giving AphroditE the exact result needed to reach the final. The match works because both teams already carry genuine championship credibility; nothing about the stakes feels manufactured for the league. Beating the champions also gives AphroditE a clear claim to the final even before the block math is considered, while meltear leaves with a direct reason to watch the tournament winner closely.

Nanae Takahashi and Yuu complete a two-win final day by beating Utami Hayashishita and Saya Kamitani in 20:08. Yuu pins Kamitani after the Last Ride, giving 7Upp the tournament after the pair had already secured Blue Goddess earlier in the card. The length allows the final to feel different from the compressed league matches before it, and the result gives Stardom's outsider alliance a concrete competitive achievement instead of relying only on presentation. Winning over AphroditE also makes the coming Goddess title challenge against meltear feel earned through the deepest tag field Stardom had assembled to that point.
