Saya Iida Challenges Alex Windsor for NJPW STRONG Women’s Title and More Announced for STARDOM American Dream

By Noah Leatherland

STARDOM are set to join the litany of wrestling promotions descending on Las Vegas later this month. Some big matches have been announced for STARDOM American Dream, including Saya Iida challenging Alex Windsor for the NJPW STRONG Women’s Championship.

Iida made her intentions on the purple belt known at STARDOM Nighter in Korakuen Hall. The match is primed to be Windsor’s first defense of the NJPW STRONG Women’s Title, having claimed the belt from Syuri back in March.

Iida also made a statement on her challenge on social media, expressing how the STRONG branding was a perfect fit for her.

My next target is Alex Windsor—I’ve set my sights on you.

The STRONG Women’s Championship
A belt worn by some of the greatest wrestlers.
It’s always held a special allure for me.
‘STRONG’
The only one worthy of that title is Saya Iida.

I’ll win the belt and make my first title defence at Yokohama Arena.
