STARDOM’s 5 Star Special in Hiroshima on September 3 delivered an intense main event that showcased the skills and resilience of NJPW STRONG Women’s Champion Giulia. The champion defended her title against hometown star Risa Sera in a hard-hitting match that left the crowd on the edge of their seats.
Right from the start, Giulia targeted Sera’s left arm, using her technical prowess to gain an early advantage. However, Sera quickly showed her hardcore side by countering Giulia’s attempt to piledrive her through a table with an apron bomb. Undeterred, Giulia tried to turn the tables by applying a Cobra Twist on the apron, only to be driven through the table herself with an Air Raid Crash at the five-minute mark.
The impact of the table took its toll on Giulia’s back and midsection, allowing Sera to take control of the match. Sera applied a tight Boston Crab and followed it up with a springboard splash, coming close to capturing the title. But Giulia fought back with a powerful right hand and a headbutt, stunning Sera who was perched on the top corner. The DDM leader then executed a double arm superplex and a German Suplex before delivering a shotgun dropkick to create some breathing space for both competitors.
As the match reset, Giulia and Sera exchanged stiff forearm shivers, showcasing their toughness and determination. Giulia managed to lock in an STF, but Sera showed her resilience by reaching the ropes. Sera kicked out of a suplex follow-up and countered Giulia’s Glorious Driver attempt with a hard drive to the mat. The challenger continued her assault with diving double knees to Giulia’s injured midsection, but the champion fought back with a hard knee and escaped Sera’s powerbomb attempt.
Despite being wobbled, Giulia unleashed a back suplex, followed by a right hand and a solid knee strike. She then executed her signature move, the Glorious Driver, but Sera miraculously kicked out just before the three-count as the match surpassed the 15-minute mark.
Giulia charged at her challenger, but Sera countered with a massive powerbomb for a close two-count. Sera attempted a top rope Air Raid Crash, but Giulia denied her and delivered a missile dropkick from the top rope. With one final surge of energy, Giulia landed a hard right hand, a package piledriver, and then the Northern Lights Bomb to secure a definitive victory.
The win solidifies Giulia’s reign as the NJPW STRONG Women’s Champion and sets the stage for her upcoming match in Las Vegas at Fighting Spirit Unleashed. Fans can catch Giulia and other STARDOM stars in action at Sam’s Town Live. [1] Tickets are available for purchase on Ticketmaster.
