SPOILER: STARDOM Talent Makes ROH Debut

It seems the relationship between AEW/ROH and STARDOM is improving after the exit of Rossy Ogawa, with one of STARDOM’s biggest names making their official Ring of Honor debut during the AEW Big Business taping sessions on March 13.

During the ROH sessions, STARDOM’s Mina Shirakawa was in action against Anna Jay, with Shirakawa getting the win. A report from F4WOnline says the crowd in attendance was ‘into the surprise’ of Shirakawa making her debut.

ROH owner Tony Khan famously didn’t see eye-to-eye with former STARDOM head Rossy Ogawa, but it was revealed prior to Big Business that new STARDOM President Taro Okada was in attendance for the show, meeting with Tony Khan beforehand.

"It's an honor to have @tokada_mh4e the President of @we_are_stardom here with us tonight at @tdgarden in Bosston for this evening's Wednesday Night #AEWDynamite!

"We are ready for some #AEWBigBusiness, 8pm ET/7pm CT on @TBSNetwork TONIGHT!!!" posted Khan on X/Twitter.

Due to STARDOM sharing a parent company with AEW/ROH ally New Japan Pro-Wrestling, it has long been hoped that STARDOM would work closely with AEW/ROH, but under Ogawa’s leadership no partnership materialised between the two sides. It was later reported that STARDOM talents are potentially set to work AEW x NJPW Forbidden Door 2024, and ROH Supercard of Honor 2024 on April 5.
