>[Stardom] IWGP Women's Champion Mayu Iwatani proposes holding a championship match in the main event: "Companies are stupid"
>Mayu Iwatani (31), the IWGP Women's Champion of the women's professional wrestling organization Stardom, has called for a match for the title to be held as the main event.
>At the Chiba tournament on the 10th, she formed a unique trio with world champions Tam Nakano and Suzu Suzuki, and faced off against the trio of Sayaka Kurara, Ranna Yagami, and Rian, who debuted less than a year ago. There were moments during the match when Nakano and Suzuki had a falling out, but in the end, Suzuki won against Rian.
>Iwatani, unable to bear seeing the two arguing backstage after the match, publicly admonished Nakano, saying, "This is not the time for you two to be arguing. Shouldn't you be showing your juniors how to be seniors today? Is that what you call being the champion of Stardom's red belt (World Championship)? What a small-minded person you are."
>She also seemed annoyed that she was entered after Nakano, saying, "As the face of Stardom, Mayu Iwatani should enter last. It's not fun when the wrestlers fall out over each other even during a match."
>It was unusual for the normally calm Iwatani to show such emotion. In an interview after the tournament, she expressed her indignation, saying, "I've defeated big names this year and raised the value of IWGP, and I've only had matches that made the fans think, 'I wish IWGP had been the main event today.' And yet, the main event for today's entrance order and match order was red. I think the company is stupid every time."
