King Of Sports…and soon Queen Of Sports? At a conference call in Japan today, New Japan and women’s promotion Stardom announced the creation of the IWGP Women’s Championship. The plan is for it to be defended on New Japan events in both Japan and the USA. The inaugural champion will be crowned at a joint NJPW-Stardom event on 11/20 at Ariake Arena in Japan. It could be defended in Stardom too but apparently it will be a New Japan title.
Both New Japan and Stardom are owned by Bushiroad Corporation.
More as it becomes available.
