Former AEW Women’s champion Toni Storm is gunning for
another title, this time in the Land of the Rising Sun as
she challenged Mayu Iwatani for the IWGP Women’s title at
the STARDOM Nagoya Golden Fight on October 5.

Storm showed up via a black and white video in front of a
fireplace during today’s STARDOM’s Namba Grand Fight event
in Osaka to make the challenge.

“Did you forget about me? Stardom, do you remember who I am?
Because I have never forgotten you,” Storm said. “I have
done a lot in your land and I will always respect Japanese
pro wrestling but there is one thing that I must do: in
2017, I became the World of Stardom champion. Some say it
was a mistake. I must prove that it wasn’t. October 5,
Nagoya…I challenge you Mayu Iwatani for the IWGP Women’s
championship!”

Iwatani has been champion for a total of 508 days so far,
winning the title from Mercedes Mone at the Battle in the
Valley event in February 2023.
