By: Noah Leatherland

NJPW and CMLL’s co-promoted event is coming together, with a big title match set for the event in Arena Mexico. Syuri will make her sixth defence of the IWGP Women’s Championship against the exciting luchadora, Kira.

Kira is fresh off of an over 900 day run as Mexican National Women’s Tag Team Champion, alongside Skadi. For Syuri, she has just crossed the one year mark as IWGP Women’s Champion. Her appearance at CMLL x NJPW Lucha Kingdom will be her first appearance in Mexico since 2015. Posting on social media, it appears that Syuri is very excited to make her return to Mexico.
