Another cha🃏mpionship matchuip has been added to Wrestle Kingdom, as for the first time in two years and the second time in history, the IWGP Women’s Champion🅺ship will be defended in the Tokyo Dome.

After Mayu Iwatani successfully retained her gold against Momo Watanabe at Historic X-Over 2 November 17, the Icon expressed her anger and frustration at not being able to have a title defence in the Do♎me this year. Wanting to make up for that lost opportunity, Iwatani demanded a match on January 4. AZM, victorious earlier on the night, and already having staked a strong claim to the gold with a win over Iwatani during the 5 Grand Prix tourཧnament, stepped up to Mayu and now gets her shot on the grandest stage in professional wrestling. Can the High Speed queen take down the Icon?
