Dave Meltzer: "Between the ring entrances, match quality and post-match, there is nothing this year that can compare to Kamitani’s win over Nakano."

"That final scene was something I’ve never seen in wrestling and in that sense it was a state-of-the-art new level in a star ending their career.

Saya Kamitani and Tam Nakano, after a classic match that looked to end the career of the latter, walked arm in arm, both covered in tears, and right before going to the back they sat down and held each other.

This scene then led to the show fading to black, making it the best ending of a major pro wrestling show in recent memory.

The All Star Grand Queendom 2025 show on 4/27 at the Yokohama Arena, headlined by Kamitani vs. Nakano in a loser must retire match for the World of Stardom title, was the single biggest match possible in Japanese women’s wrestling on what ended up being the biggest show in Stardom history.

The show was immediately being compared to AEW Revolution as the two top candidates for show of the year. For the undercard, while this show was excellent, there was no comparison. The depth of Revolution was far stronger. But when it comes to the main event, the opposite was true.

The crowd of 7,503 paid, which depending on what the paid attendance was for the all-women’s show at Arena Mexico on 3/7, would have been the first or second biggest crowd for an all-women’s show since the WWE Evolution show on October 28, 2018. It was the largest crowd in Stardom history and the largest for an all-women’s show dating back to the heyday of Japanese women’s wrestling decades ago."
