BITE-SIZE STARDOM SHOW REVIEW: New Year Dream 2026 ~Afternoon Show~ (03/01/2026)

This is AEW’s Alex Windsor’s Stardom debut.
Saya Kamitani and Syuri will not be wrestling on these shows as they will undergo a contract signing during the day show before attending the Wrestle Kingdom 20 press conference in the afternoon ahead of their double title match for the IWGP Women’s and NJPW STRONG Women’s titles in the Tokyo Dome.
Attendance Notes: The attendance inside Shinjuku FACE in Tokyo for both the afternoon and evening shows was 478, a number which Stardom confirmed was a sell-out of the venue. This is the second-highest number the company have drawn there of the ten times they have run it, with it being second only to the 5Star Grand Prix 2024 show they ran at the end of August (508).
