It's a pretty good card for a free YouTube show including suzus first announced date post leaving prominence

Edit

Also interesting that Nao's first dates since going freelance is as fake Tam Nakano on a stardom show. Obviously anyone who has followed Japanese wrestling understands there is freelancing as we know what the word means and then there is "freelancing" which is politely signing for a bigger promotion

The icing on the cake for Nao's Tam bit is that her Twitter display name still says "Nao Ishikawa" in Japanese, but it says "Tam Nakano" in romaji. She's sewing maximum chaos specifically among the people least able to figure out what the gently caress

The point is to advertise stardom to new japan fans in Japan would be my guess. Bushiroad has been laser focused on growing stardom in Japan. They do get tend to get little boosts whenever they interact with njpw

So Stardom/NJPW has 12 women's belts (counting tag and 3v3) for the 51 wrestlers listed on their Wikipedia page. Enough for almost a quarter of the roster to be a champion at any point. Just seems like an awful lot.

If I'm not mistaken, the distinction is about where and on which shows the belt is defended. New Japan recently ditched STRONG as a US weekly TV show, so now all of those belts are exclusively for New Japan's US-based PPVs, which are now using the NJPW STRONG branding. So they're introducing a Women's belt for those shows specifically.

So the IWGP Women's belt would now be for matches on NJPW's regular cards to have some crossover/co-promotion featuring Stardom wrestlers, specifically in Japan. This new belt would be for women's matches on NJPW STRONG cards specifically in the US featuring whoever.

The IWGP Women's was in the US that one time because Mercedes is based there, but every other time it's been defended in Japan. So whoever wins this one is likely someone who doesn't want to be based in Japan, which is why I doubt it'll be Momo.

Weird. I guess the distinction is more about where the belt is based then. Or at least until STRONG gets a more regular schedule.
