New NJPW Strong Women’s Champion crowned at Pro Wrestling EVE show
Alex Windsor is the new NJPW Strong Women’s Champion.
She defeated Syuri for the title on Sunday at Pro Wrestling EVE’s WrestleQueendom 8 from indigo at The O2 in London, England.
The finish of the match saw Syuri fight to get to the ropes while in a sharpshooter, only to be hit with a series of lariats and the Made in Japan by Windsor for the pin.
Windsor is also the current RevPro Undisputed British Women’s Champion after defeating Mercedes Moné for the title at the December 17 AEW Collision taping in Manchester.
Syuri’s reign ends after 63 days and zero title defenses. She won the championship in a title-for-title match against Saya Kamitani at Wrestle Kingdom 20. Syuri most recently defended her IWGP Women’s title against Athena at New Beginning in USA on February 27.
Windsor becomes the eighth champion in the title’s lineage, which dates back to Willow Nightingale becoming the inaugural champion when she defeated Mercedes Moné at NJPW Strong Resurgence 2023 in a match where Moné suffered a significant leg injury.
