Based on what happened in Stardom this past weekend, we now know who will be in the finals of a tournament to crown the inaugural IWGP Women’s Champion…Mayu Iwatani & KAIRI (Kairi Hojo, formerly Kairi Sane in WWE). Iwatani won the Stardom side of the bracket by beating Utami Hayashishita. KAIRI won the International side by beating Jazzy Gabert (Alpha Female). They will meet for the title on 11/20 and the winner will first defend at Tokyo Dome on 1/4.
Just an early heads-up for those who want to watch the New Japan/Stardom crossover event live on 11/20: IT IS A PPV. Not included with New Japan World subscription so you first have to subscribe then you can buy the PPV. Start time is listed as 3 AM ET/midnight PT however these will be moved up an hour due to the time change on 11/6 in the US. So it likely will be 2 AM ET/11 PM PT.
