>Stardom's SWA World Champion Mayu Iwatani (29) defeated Kairin King and successfully defended her title for the second time at New Japan Pro-Wrestling in New York, USA on the 28th (29th Japan time).
>His opponent, Kairin, debuted in 2018 and has been active in AEW Dark since 2020. Boasting a height of 180 centimeters, Iwatani was tormented by the disparity in physique. He gets into trouble with a variety of throwing techniques and high kicks.
>Even so, he succeeded in turning the tide by releasing a diving body press from Dragon Suplex. After knocking down the tough Kairin with a powerful buzzsaw kick, he splendidly crushed him with a moonsault press.
>Iwatani is preparing for the final match of the IWGP First Women's Championship Tournament against KAIRI at a joint performance of Stardom and New Japan (November 20th, Ariake Arena). She showed off her ability on New York ground, showing off her good vision for the double crown.
>“There was a lot of pressure in a title match overseas. I was under a lot of pressure, such as what to do if the belt was taken from me, or if I lost, I wouldn’t be able to show my face in Japan. It was fun! It was a really happy time to go abroad for the first time in 3 years.”
