STARDOM returned to pay-per-view on Saturday with one of their Summer signatures, Flashing Champions 2023. The show took place at Ota Ward General Gymnasium in Tokyo, Japan and had one of the biggest matches in the history of the promotion as the main event. For only the second time in STARDOM history, both the World of Stardom Championship and Wonder of Stardom Championship were on the line as Tam Nakano and Mina Shirakawa collided. After Shirakawa left Cosmic Angels to officially form Club Venus as its own faction, it was only a matter of time before the former friends would go head-to-head.
Also on the show was the first time fans would ever see KAIRI and Giulia share the ring as the semi-main event featured an Artist of Stardom Championship match with REstart making their first defense against the Bari Bari Bombers.
Full results for the show are below.
