History[]

World Wonder Ring Stardom (2020–present)[]

The stable's first and current leader, Giulia.

After her first moments in Stardom and after being accused of not having any friends, Giulia would tease the formation of a stable. On January 14, 2020, Maika lost a Future of Stardom Championship match against the champion Utami Hayashishita at one of the Professional Wrestling Just Tap Out promotion JTO Hatsu house shows at Korakuen Hall.[4] After the match, Giulia recruited her as the second member of the stable, Donna del Mondo.[5] At Stardom's 9th Anniversary show on January 19, Syuri returned to the company and joined the stable, teaming with Giulia and Maika in a six-woman tag team match to defeat Tokyo Cyber Squad's Death Yama-san, Hana Kimura and Leyla Hirsch.[6] On February 8, Giulia teamed up with Syuri and Maika to defeat Queen's Quest (AZM, Momo Watanabe and Utami Hayashishita) for the Artist of Stardom Championship. On March 24, Giulia defeated Jungle Kyona in the first round, Momo Watanabe in the quarter-final, fellow stablemate Syuri in the semi final, and Natsuko Tora in the final to be crowned the 2020 Cinderella Tournament winner.[7] On the June 21 show at Shin-Kiba 1st Ring, Himeka made her Stardom debut as a mystery member for Giulia, Syuri and Maika, with whom she later defeated the team of Stars (Mayu Iwatani, Tam Nakano, Starlight Kid and Saya Iida).[8] On July 26, Giulia defeated Tam Nakano to win the Wonder of Stardom Championship vacated by a retiring Arisa Hoshiki.[9] On October 3, at Stardom Yokohama Cinderella 2020, Natsumi Maki debuted under the name Natsupoi, following her departure from Tokyo Joshi Pro Wrestling and defeated Death Yama-san as a mystery opponent.[10] She was revealed to have joined the stable as the newest member. On November 14, at Korakuen New Landscape, the team of Giulia, Syuri and Maika were defeated by Oedo Tai (Bea Priestley, Natsuko Tora and Saki Kashima) for the Artist of Stardom Championship, ending their reign at 280 days.[11]

Four of the stable members participated in the 2020 edition of the Goddesses of Stardom Tag League under two different sub-groups created only for the tournament: Giulia and Maika as Crazy Bloom and Syuri and Himeka as Grab The Top.[12] Giulia and Maika fell short to Queen's Quest's sub-group MOMOAZ portraited by AZM and Momo Watanabe in the finals of the tournament which took place on November 8, 2020.[13]

On February 14, 2021, at Stardom Go To Budokan! Valentine Special - Day 2, Himeka and Maika defeated Oedo Tai (Bea Priestley and Konami) to win the Goddess of Stardom Championship.[14] Natsupoi defeated AZM to win the High Speed Championship at Stardom All Star Dream Cinderella on March 3, 2021, where all the members of the stable were holding titles only for a brief period until Giulia lost her Wonder of Stardom Championship to Tam Nakano in a hair vs hair match the same night, after which she got her hair shaved.[15] At Stardom Yokohama Dream Cinderella 2021 on April 4, 2021, Himeka and Maika lost the Goddess of Stardom Championship to fellow members Giulia and Syuri after an intern stable clash.[16] On the first night of the Stardom Cinderella Tournament 2021 from April 10, all of the stable members participated in Cinderella Tournament first-round matches, beginning with Himeka who defeated Hanan, Maika who defeated Konami, Giulia picking a victory over Ruaka and Syuri defeating fellow member Natsupoi.[17] On the second night which took place on May 14, Natsupoi defeated Lady C, Tam Nakano and Hanan in a four-way match, Syuri defeated Utami Hayashishita in the Cinderella Tournament second-round matches but fell short to Unagi Sayaka in the quarter-finals. On the same night Maika defeated Giulia, and Himeka picked up a win over Mayu Iwatani, both securing their places in the semi-finals.[18] On the third night from June 12, Utami Hayashishita successfully defended the World of Stardom Championship against Syuri due to going against her in two matches, one of them ending up in a thirty-minute time limit draw which restarted. The second match ended with both Hayashishita and Syuri falling to a ten-count. At Yokohama Dream Cinderella 2021 in Summer on July 4, Maika teamed up with Lady C and fell short into a Gauntlet tag team match, and Giulia and Syuri successfully defended their Goddess of Stardom Championship against Stars (Mayu Iwatani and Koguma).[19] For the Stardom 5 Star Grand Prix 2021, all the members of the unit were listed as participants in the tournament.[20] Syuri defeated Momo Watanabe in the finals of the event from September 25, 2021 to win the trophy. At Stardom in Nagoya from October 3, Maika, Natsupoi and Himeka tramed up as the "MaiHimePoi" trio to dethrone Cosmic Angels' Tam Nakano, Mina Shirakawa and Unagi Sayaka by taking the Artist of Stardom Championship away from them.[21] At Stardom 10th Anniversary Grand Final Osaka Dream Cinderella on October 9, 2021, Syuri successfully defended the SWA World Championship and her World of Stardom Championship challenge rights certificate by defeating Saki Kashima who replaced an unclear to compete Konami, and Maika, Himeka and Natsupoi successfully defended the Artist of Stardom Championship against Momo Watanabe, AZM and Saya Kamitani.[22] At Kawasaki Super Wars, the first event of the Stardom Super Wars trilogy which took place on November 3, 2021, Himeka and Natsupoi wrestled Mayu Iwatani and Koguma in a time-limit draw, Maika battled Mina Shirakawa and Saya Kamitani in a three-way match and Syuri successfully defended her SWA World Championship and the World of Stardom Championship challenge rights certificate successfully against AZM.[23]
