World Wonder Ring Stardom, or commonly known as Stardom, is one of the biggest female wrestling promotions in the world right now.

Especially since her arrival in WWE, Io Shirai has placed herself as a big fan-favorite and still remains to be hugely popular within the WWE Universe, despite turning heel over on NXT. The Japanese sensation currently has the opportunity of winning the NXT Women's Championship this Wednesday in what could mark the beginning of an iconic rivalry against reigning champion Charlotte Flair.
Speaking of iconic rivalries, Io Shirai herself has been part of a few during her time with Stardom. Of course, one of them being her feud against former WWE Women's Tag Team Champion, Kairi Sane FKA Kairi Hojo.

Shirai vs Sane is a match that the WWE Universe has been wanting to see for quite some time now, especially considering how great the latter is as a babyface. However, the pair did face each other back in Japan and one of their finest matches belongs from the Stardom The Highest, 2017 show.
If you're looking for some classic Stardom matches, then all of Shirai and Sane's bouts from their days together in Japan are highly recommended.
