News Summary:
On July 17, World Wonder Ring Stardom updated its fan social media policy, now permitting video recording for up to 30 seconds at events, provided entrance music is muted or replaced. Two days earlier, on July 15, AEW's "Triangle of Madness," consisting of Thekla, Skye Blue, and Julia Hart, appeared on a STARDOM livestream to challenge for STARDOM championships, escalating tensions following Thekla's departure from the promotion in 2025. Earlier in June, on June 12, a Women’s Championship match was confirmed for AEW x NJPW Forbidden Door, with STARDOM’s Starlight Kid scheduled to challenge Thekla for the AEW Women’s Championship on June 28 in San Jose. This development came after weeks of Thekla publicly disparaging STARDOM and its president, Taro Okada. On June 9, PRODUCE Wrestling announced a multi-fight agreement to feature STARDOM talent at its events, scheduled for July 26 in Montreal and August 3 in New York City. Previously, on June 4, STARDOM co-promoted Forbidden Door 2026 for the first time alongside AEW, NJPW, and CMLL. The 2026 edition also marked the first since former STARDOM wrestler Thekla became AEW’s Women’s World Champion, leading STARDOM's president to publicly condemn her actions on AEW Dynamite as "vulgar" and "unforgivable."
