This weekend was chock-full of a bunch of wrestling action! We got to see everything from the AEW Women's Owen Hart Tournament semi-final round to Sendai Girls and Marigold to a super fun Friday Night Gacha and, of course, Stardom The Conversion 2026.

We've talked a lot about how badly we would love to see Utami Hayashishita make her return to the World Wonder Ring, and at Stardom's recent Korakuen Hall show, we got exactly what we wanted!
