CMLL‘s Stephanie Vaquer will compete in Japan to challenge for the NJPW STRONG Women’s Championship currently held by Giulia.
STARDOM broke the news on their official website and social media pages that CMLL competitor Stephanie Vaquer is next in line for a shot at Giulia’s NJPW STRONG Women’s Championship. The match is official for STARDOM’s Cinderella Tournament show at Korakuen Hall on Sunday, March 10th.
Stephanie then delivered a message to the reigning champion Giulia with a prerecorded video that STARDOM uploaded on their social media pages. She congratulated Giulia for her successful championship defenses. However, she promised to show Giulia that she is the strongest competitor in NJPW STRONG. (translation via Google Translate)
The two will have a taste of each other’s wrestling style a day before at STARDOM’s show at the Yokohama Budokan when they compete on opposite sides of a 6-Woman Tag Match. Giulia will team up with Syuri and Konami to battle against Stephanie Vaquer, Fukigen Death, and Momo Watanabe.
With Giulia recently confirming her free agency come April, there is plenty of speculation towards Stephanie Vaquer’s potential title victory. The latter competitor has consistently appeared on NJPW’s shows in the United States. One appearance in particular was an IWGP Women’s Championship challenge against Mayu Iwatani in Texas, despite a losing effort. Stephanie was also announced to compete at NJPW’s upcoming Windy City Riot show in Chicago alongside AZM and Mina Shirakawa.
