NJPW Strong Women’s, World of Stardom double-champion crowned

Saya Kamitani now holds both the Strong Women’s Championship and the World of Stardom title.

Kamitani defeated AZM today at Korakuen Hall to defend her World of Stardom title and capture the Strong title. The finish saw AZM kick out of one Star Crusher, only to take a second Star Crusher moments later and stay down for three.

After the match, Kamitani was confronted by Momo Watanabe, winner of the 2025 5Star Grand Prix. Watanabe will challenge Kamitani for both titles on November 3.

Kamitani is now the sixth champion in the Strong Women’s title lineage, which began when Willow Nightingale became the inaugural champion after defeating Mercedes Mone, who was injured during the bout, at NJPW Strong Resurgence. AZM won the belt at Resurgence 2025 in a three-way against Mina Shirakawa and then-champion Mercedes Mone. She successfully defended it once, against Bozilla, in July.

Kamitani has now successfully defended the World of Stardom Championship six times since winning it from Tam Nakano at Dream Queendom 2024 last December.

TWO 👏 TITLES 👏 SAYA 👏 SAMA 👏

Saya Kamitani has dethroned AZM to become the 6th NJPW STRONG Women's Champion in Korakuen Hall!
