## Production
### Background

On December 29, 2022, during Dream Queendom 2, Stardom announced that on April 23, 2023, at the Yokohama Arena, for the first time, All Star Grand Queendom will take place. The event took place 30 years after All Japan Women's Pro-Wrestling (AJW) All-Star Dream Slam, which is still considered one of the best wrestling events of all time. The event's press conference took place on April 3, 2023, and was broadcast on Stardom's YouTube Channel.

### Storylines

The show featured eleven professional wrestling matches that result from scripted storylines, where wrestlers portray villains, heroes, or less distinguishable characters in the scripted events that build tension and culminate in a wrestling match or series of matches.
On February 10, 2023, Himeka announced her retirement from professional wrestling. She underwent a "retirement road" series of matches ever since and expressed her wish of facing her long time MaiHime tag team partner Maika as her last-ever opponent in a Stardom match.
On February 18, 2023, at New Japan Pro-Wrestling (NJPW)'s Battle in the Valley, Mercedes Moné defeated Kairi to win the IWGP Women's Championship. On April 8, at NJPW's Sakura Genesis, Moné had her first successful title defense after defeating AZM and Hazuki in a three-way match. After the match, Mayu Iwatani challenged Moné for the title at Queendom. Moné accepted Iwatani's challenge, and slapped her across the face afterwards.
On March 8, 2023, Kairi announced that she will take part into the event's card alongside a mystery partner. On April 2, on the third night of the Stardom Cinderella Tournament 2023, it was later revealed that she picked freelancer Saori Anou and Natsupoi as her partners. They named their trio as "REstart" as they challenged Hiragi Kurumi, Risa Sera and Suzu Suzuki for the Artist of Stardom Championship. The following day, Saya Kamitani revealed on Twitter that Saori Anou was in fact one of the two mysterious white-hatted women (one of them already revealed to be Kairi) from before the events of the Stardom World Climax 2022 as her return to Stardom was foreshadowed for more than a year prior.
