DREAM SLAM MONTHLY

October begins the final quarter of 2023, and the sprint to the end of the year begins now. It’s been a busy month, and just when I thought Tournament Season was over, a new Tournament Season began! There have been lots of championship title changes, international promotions hosting joshi-centric showcase matches and tournaments, as well as joshi-inspired international promotions launching!

Suzu Suzuki won the 2023 5STAR Grand Prix and I caught up with WK Park on POST PURORESU shortly after that, recapping the hot topics of September 2023. Her opponent for STARDOM GOLD RUSH 2023 in Osaka is already set! KAIRI’s return voyage in Japan has concluded, so now we wait to see where the charted course takes her next. I truly loved her 

TJPW celebrated Sports Day with Wrestle Princess IV. Miyu Yamashita defeated Mizuki to begin her fourth reign as Princess of Princess Champion. Max the Impaler defeated Rika Tatsumi to become the International Princess Champion, and Free WiFi (Hikari Noa & Nao Kakuta) defeated Toyo Mates (Yuki Kamifuku & Mahiro Kiryu) to become Princess Tag Champions.

Saki Akai continues wrapping her remaining show dates prior to retirement, including bidding adieu to Saki-Sama, the leader of NEO Bishiki-gun. She is starting to have final matches at various promotions within Japan. Yuka Sakazaki returned at TJPW All Rise ’23 (10/27) to team up with her Magical Sugar Rabbits partner, Mizuki. Sakazaki will graduate from TJPW on December 6th and is slated to move to the US in 2024.

Hikaru Shida defeated Saraya on AEW Dynamite to begin her third reign as AEW Women’s World Champion (10/10/23). She had her first successful defense against Ruby Soho two weeks later on AEW Dynamite (10/25/23).

Safire defeated defending SHE-1 Tournament winner, Alex Windsor in the finals of this year’s tournament!
