In partnership with New Japan Pro-Wrestling, Stardom has announced the first-ever IWGP Women’s Championship.
Earlier this morning, Stardom took to social media to announce the IWGP Women’s Championship.
The following information comes from a series of tweets from Stardom regarding the brand new championship:
Just announced in today’s Stardom 2022 Strategy Meeting: The IWGP Women’s Championship!
NJPW and Stardom are creating this title for defenses not only in Japan but also in the US on New Japan Pro Wrestling events, appealing to the world with the rich IWGP history! The IWGP Women’s championship is for NJPW events. It’s possible that it could be defended on big Stardom events though.
Stardom’s main title remains the World of Stardom title (the Red Belt) along with the Wonder of Stardom title (the White Belt). The inaugural IWGP Women’s Champion will be crowned at the NJPW x Stardom joint show on November 20th at the Ariake Arena.
Please note, this belt does not usurp the Red and White Belts in any way. They are the main titles for Stardom events.
The design of the championship hasn’t been revealed at this time, but hopefully, we’ll see the title sooner rather than later.
