On Saturday morning, Walker Stewart announced on his social media that he will now serve as the English play-by-play announcer for STARDOM. STARDOM have previously not had English options for commentary, with Kevin Kelly previously lobbying for English announcing in the promotion in the past.
It feels good to tell the world that I will be serving as the new English play-by-play commentator for @we_are_stardom, starting with our October event in Nagoya! Shoot for the moon, land amongst the star(dom)!

Walker did clarify that English commentary would only be available for select PPVs, and further English commentary would depend on metrics.
As it currently stands, English is limited to select PPVs only throughout the year, with confirmation already for Historic X-Over II and Dream Queendom on 12/29! Metrics will be tracked, and more fan engagement/legit PPV buys = more English coverage. Fired up for all of this! https://t.co/xIzU7nXwkY
