Tonight in Covina, California, STARDOM presented the first night of its USA tour, bringing Japanese stars and American indy scene regulars together for two blockbuster shows.
The event saw the surprise in-ring return of former WWE Diva Melina, who teamed with SHINE Champion Santana Garrett to defeat Hudson Envy and Thunder Rosa.
This was Melina’s first match in over three years and came as a surprise to the live audience, as Melina was scheduled only to referee Io Shirai‘s Wonder of STARDOM Title defense against Mia Yim. Cheerleader Melissa had been advertised to wrestle in her spot before the switch was made.
Full results below, courtesy of STARDOM’s Facebook page:
- Act Yasukawa, Kyoko Kimura & Kris Wolf def. Shayna Baszler, Brittany Wonder & Datura when Kimura used a sleeperhold on Wonder.
- Mayu Iwatani def. Nicole Savoy with a dragon suplex.
- Hiroyo Matsumoto & Kellie Skater def. Kairi Hojo & Kahmora when Hiroyo pinned Kahmora after a back drop driver.
- Melina & Santana Garrett def. Hudson Envy & Thunder Rosa when Santana hit Rosa with a springboard moonsault.
- Wonder of STARDOM Title match: Io Shirai def. Mia Yim to retain the title with a moonsault.
