After announcing her intentions to challenge Starlight Kid for the Wonder of Stardom Championship at All-Star Grand Queendom, it looks like AZM has more singles gold in her sights.
After her match with Kid was officially accepted, AZM then made mention that she also wanted to challenge Mercedes Mone for the NJPW Strong Women’s Championship. She isn’t the only one with Mone in their crosshairs however, with AEW-bound Mina Shirakawa also keen to reap revenge on the CEO after losing to her at Wrestle Dynasty on January 5th.
The pair have now been confirmed to be having a number one contendership match at New Japan’s Windy City Riot show on April 11th at the Wintrust Arena in Chicago to determine the next challenger for Mone’s NJPW Strong Women’s Championship.
The match has been announced alongside Hiroshi Tanahashi’s final match on US soil against Konosuke Takeshita, Gabe Kidd vs. Tomohiro Ishii for the NJPW Strong Openweight Championship and Zack Sabre Jr. taking on New Japan Cup winner David Finlay in a special singles match.
This will be the start of an incredibly busy week for AZM in particular, who will be wrestling for Prestige Wrestling the following day before then going onto Las Vegas where she will be wrestling for both Stardom and Dragongate.
