Back at the 5★STAR GP Finals show, the Icon of Stardom set out a challenge for anyone to face her. The last time she defended the championship was against Utami Hayashishita at Stardom X Stardom 2023 in August, and the last time the IWGP Women’s Championship was defended in the USA was when Mercedes Mone defeated KAIRI to become champion at Battle in The Valley earlier this year.
