NJPW WrestleKingdom 14 to have STARDOM match
NJPW’s biggest event of the year, Wrestle Kingdom will feature a women’s wrestling match for the first time in its history. This year Wrestle Kingdom 14 will be an epic two-day event taking place at the Tokyo Dome on Jan, 4 and 5.
Stardom announced the ground-breaking news that they are to have a match at the prestigious event via Twitter.
The match will feature four of the company’s most exciting performers, Mayu Iwatani and Arisa Hoshiki vs. Hana Kimura and Giulia so we are in for treat.
The move has been speculated since New Japan Pro Wrestling’s parent company, Bushiroad completed the purchase of the all-female Japanese promotion in October.
The purchase was highly received when it was announced that full-time contracts for the wrestlers are to be put into effect.
During the press conference, Bushiroad stated “We will create contracts with each wrestler. We want to create an environment where the wrestlers can concentrate on pro wrestling, and we are expecting to bring in excellent wrestlers from all over the world. We would like to listen to the thoughts of each wrestler and take those thoughts into account when creating this new work environment.”
Founded in 2010 the exciting and innovative promotion has featured many prominent talents over the years. Talents such as; Io Shirai, Kairi Sane, Toni Storm, Bea Priestley, Nicole Savoy, Sumie Sakai, Hana Kimura, Kagetsu, and Mayu Iwatani to name just a few.
With the backing of Bushiroad and now NJPW the future of STARDOM looks to be very bright indeed.
