NJPW Strong Women’s vs. World of Stardom title for title match set for Korakuen Hall

The World of Stardom Champion and the NJPW Strong Women’s Champion appear set to clash when Stardom heads to Korakuen Hall later this month.

Saya Kamitani retained her World of Stardom Championship against Bea Priestley at Stardom to the World in the Yokohama Budokan today. After the match, she was confronted by NJPW Strong Women’s Champion AZM, and they teased a title vs. title match for Stardom’s show on September 27.

AZM: “Do you remember losing to AZM at 5 ★ STAR GP? I came here to challenge for the red belt, and I’m fully qualified, right?”

Saya Kamitani: “You have another belt, right? That purple belt. If you’re willing to put that belt on the line, I’ll accept the challenge.”

Kamitani would later confirm the match has been set in her post-match comments, saying:

“On September 27 at Korakuen Hall, a double title match for the World and STRONG belts against AZM has been decided. I don’t care what kind of belts those are, but right now, Saya-sama needs ‘glory.’ Saya-sama’s ambition is the ‘Pro Wrestling Grand Prize MVP.’ AZM will just have to be my stepping stone.”

Priestley earned a shot at Kamitani’s title after defeating her during the round-robin portion of the 5STAR Grand Prix last month. AZM then beat Kamitani in the Red Stars semifinals of the tournament, putting her in line for a shot at the World of Stardom title as well.
