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.
