IWGP Women’s title match added to NJPW King of Pro Wrestling
A new title match is set for Monday’s NJPW King of Pro Wrestling event.
NJPW has announced that Sareee has accepted the challenge issued by Syuri for an IWGP Women’s Championship match for the Monday, October 13 King of Pro Wrestling event in Ryogoku at Sumo Hall.
Sareee made a title defense on Thursday’s Ring of Honor TV episode against Alex Windsor. The match was taped on October 2, so NJPW waited until after it aired to make the match announcement for Sumo Hall.
Nine matches are now official for KOPW 2025, including six title bouts. The show will be headlined by G1 Climax winner Konosuke Takeshita challenging Zack Sabre Jr. for the IWGP World Heavyweight Championship. The full card:
