“Of course. Of course she wants it, she wants that match. If it happens, it’s going to blow the roof off whichever arena it takes place,” Yamashita said.
Yamashita is a top star in TJPW, and she has made several appearances in the states. These include facing Athena for the ROH Women’s Title and a match against Thunder Rosa for the AEW Women’s Title last July.
