Iwatani, who won the SWA title in May, also said of the IWGP Women's Title, " I thought it was simply amazing! I thought it was simply amazing, but at the moment I feel that the purpose of the title is very SWA-like," Iwatani admits.
"I'm still not sure if some belts in Stardom will be eliminated, unified, or increased, and IWGP is a title with a great history, so it's not easy to say... But if a new belt is created, I want to be the first champion as the first person to achieve the Grand Slam," he said.
It is not only the blood of a "belt collector" that is stirring. In the past, she was active as the "three daughters" with Io Shirai (currently Iyo Sky of WWE) and Kairi Takarashiro (currently Kairi). The "Three Daughters" with Io Shirai (now Iyo Sky of WWE) and Kairi Hoshiro (now Kairi) were active, but only Iwatani stayed in Japan instead of moving to WWE.
Mayu Iwatani's goal is to become famous around the world while still in Japan. She has a mission to spread Stardom's wrestling to the world," and the IWGP Women's Title is in line with her own goals.
The presence of her former partner is also a great source of inspiration. Iyo, who once formed the famous "Thunderlock" duo and set a record for the most number of defenses of the Goddess title, "V10," will hold the "Summer Slam" on July 30 (Japan time). Iyo was promoted from NXT to RAW. Iwatani said, "My old partner is active in the world now, so I can't lose. I would love to have a dream singles match someday (laughs)," her eyes shining.
