STARDOM Supreme Fight 2023 - WrestleFile Historical Verdict

Supreme Fight 2023 at Osaka's Edion Arena opened with Naniwa Roulette, a fifteen-wrestler singles elimination challenge that awarded the last survivor a title-shot opportunity. STARDOM's February 4 report lists Mayu Iwatani eliminating Waka Tsukiyama, Momo Kohgo and Miyu Amasaki before a time-limit draw with Tam Nakano. Other short matches eliminated Natsupoi and Mina Shirakawa by time-limit draw, and Thekla and Mariah May by mutual over-the-top-rope elimination. The final stage saw Saki Kashima pin surprise entrant Billiken Death in 2:27 with Kishikaisei. Each participant competed individually as roulette determined the next opponent; this wasn't a sixteen-person tag match or a traditional simultaneous battle royal. The official elimination structure and the final championship-challenge consequence explain why Kashima's win mattered beyond the show's opening novelty.

The prize was more specific than a generic open-ended future title shot. The promoter's original post-match account says Kashima received an Ehomaki challenge certificate for winning Naniwa Roulette and then stated on the microphone that she would use the right for the High Speed Championship. She briefly teased the World and SWA titles before choosing the speed division because of her quick-finishing style, even claiming she would try to take the title in about one minute. That was her announced title selection after the elimination win, not a High Speed championship match held in Osaka that night.

The Classmates trio of Hazuki, Koguma and Saya Iida defeated Starlight Kid, Haruka Umesaki and Ruaka in the Triangle Derby I league match at Supreme Fight on February 4, 2023. STARDOM's official result records Koguma pinning Kid with an inside cradle at 9:03, giving Classmates two league points and keeping the match connected to the standings rather than a title defense. The pairing put an established STARS trio against an Oedo Tai-oriented combination that included guest competitor Umesaki. Although the bout was an undercard encounter in Osaka, the fall over Kid carried useful momentum for Koguma's team. The decisive finish belongs specifically to Koguma against Kid, and neither challenger was seeking the Wonder or World championships defended later in the evening.

God's Eye members Konami, Ami Sohrei and Syuri defeated Queen's Quest representatives Lady C, AZM and Utami Hayashishita at Supreme Fight in Osaka. The February 4, 2023 STARDOM result confirms a Triangle Lancer submission from Konami on Lady C after 11:25. Konami's presence was particularly relevant because her wrestling schedule had been limited, making an appearance alongside Syuri and Sohrei a meaningful addition to the featured six-woman tag. The Queen's Quest side retained two highly decorated wrestlers in AZM and Hayashishita, but neither took the recorded submission; Lady C did. The official finish preserves the two actual three-woman units and gives the match a clear winner. It wasn't a Triangle Derby league match, nor a championship contest, and did not directly change any of the titleholders later on the card.

Chihiro Hashimoto defeated MIRAI in a major special singles match at STARDOM Supreme Fight in Osaka on February 4, 2023. STARDOM's official result lists a 15:18 finish with Hashimoto's Obright technique, giving an experienced Sendai Girls standout a decisive result against a rising STARDOM challenger. This was one of the evening's most notable interpromotional contests, distinct from the internal Triangle Derby and faction exchanges earlier in the program. MIRAI's physical offense made the pairing competitive even though the result went to the outsider. Hashimoto's win should be recorded as a singles victory, not as a title change or a preliminary round toward a belt. Its placement immediately before the three championship matches gave it the role of a serious featured attraction rather than a short visiting-wrestler cameo.

Nanae Takahashi and Yuu retained the Goddesses of Stardom Championship against Maika and Himeka at Supreme Fight 2023. The Osaka results record Takahashi pinning Himeka after One Second EX at 18:54, producing the first successful defense for the twenty-sixth champion team. Takahashi and Yuu were collectively known as 7Upp and had established themselves as a difficult opponent for regular STARDOM tag partnerships. Maika and Himeka brought the history of their Donna del Mondo pairing to the challenge, giving the bout a substantial emotional connection beyond the belt. The actual championship outcome belonged to 7Upp, and Maika was not the wrestler who took the decisive pin. This was a completed title defense, not the earlier tournament preview, and the belt did not change hands in this match.

Saya Kamitani defended the Wonder of Stardom Championship against Momo Watanabe in Osaka on February 4, 2023. STARDOM records a 16:38 finish after Kamitani's Firebird Splash and pinfall, marking the fourteenth successful defense of her sixteenth title reign. Watanabe was an appropriate challenger for a historically important white-belt defense, having previously held the same championship and become a prominent figure in Oedo Tai. Kamitani's prolonged run had made the defense count itself a central story, so the victory reinforced her position with another experienced opponent defeated. The result wasn't a draw or a change of champion, and Watanabe's earlier reign should not be confused with Kamitani's active reign on this date. The match had standalone historical value even before the World title bout that followed.

Watanabe's previous Wonder title reign gave her the credibility to challenge the increasingly historic defense count, even though her Oedo Tai persona looked different from the earlier champion. Kamitani's Firebird Splash finish preserved the active reign against someone who knew the belt's demands. A fourteenth defense is also a specific historical milestone, not evidence that Watanabe was the fourteenth champion or that Kamitani won a new title that night. The champion entered and left with the same white belt.

Giulia defeated Suzu Suzuki to retain the World of Stardom Championship in the Supreme Fight main event on February 4, 2023. The official STARDOM results give a 25:04 pinfall following a Northern Lights Bomb, the first successful defense of Giulia's fifteenth red-belt reign. The emotional stakes extended far beyond a routine challenger encounter because the two had a difficult shared history, and Suzuki's work with Prominence had already brought their rivalry into STARDOM events. The near-half-hour duration made the match a genuine main-event challenge and gave Giulia an important early test after winning the championship. The champion left Osaka with the belt, while Suzuki's loss did not negate the intensity of the rivalry. The finish should be attributed to Giulia's Northern Lights Bomb rather than an invented submission or referee stoppage.

Suzuki's challenge carried a past with Giulia that extended beyond this one championship opportunity. Prominence's confrontations with Donna del Mondo had made the rivalry personal before Giulia gained the red belt, turning the first defense into a natural extension of an established dispute. The champion's pin with Northern Lights Bomb showed she could win decisively under main-event pressure. Suzuki's loss did not remove her from the broader Stardom story; it established Giulia's championship standing against a difficult familiar opponent.
