Mayu Iwatani will defend her IWGP Women’s Championship against Momo Watanabe next month at Historic X-Over II.
The title defense was made official on Saturday after a confrontation between the two during the opening show of the Goddess of STARDOM Tag League in Shinjuku, Japan.
After Iwatani & Momo Kohgo defeated AZM & Miyu Amasaki at today’s show, Watanabi entered the ring with a baseball bat and attacked. After laying out Iwatani, Momo placed her foot on the champion’s head and posed with the belt.
Historic X-Over II is scheduled for Sunday, November 17th at the Osaka Prefectural Gymnasium. The show will feature talent from both New Japan Pro Wrestling and STARDOM.
