Syuri to Challenge Chihiro Hashimoto for the Sendai Girls World Championship on July 20th

By Noah Leatherland

After Syuri made a surprise appearance at SENJO THE BIGGEST, her challenge for the Sendai Girls World Championship has been confirmed. She will face Chihiro Hashimoto for the belt at Korakuen Hall on July 20th.

The last time these two faced off, Syuri won the bout through referee stoppage. Hashimoto was the champion at the time, but it was a non-title match. Now, the Sendai Girls World Championship will be put on the line. With the match now made following the fallout of SENJO THE BIGGEST, Hashimoto has shared her thoughts on social media:

‘Very soon’ really did mean very soon.
Monday 20 July, Korakuen Hall

Compassion can sometimes drive a person mad.
I don’t have that composure and poise right now.

But I definitely have the momentum on my side. I can say that with certainty. I will win, without fail. Revenge.

The match is set to be Hashimoto’s seventh defence of the title. She has retained the belt over other STARDOM representatives during this reign, having defeated Maika at last year’s All-Star Grand Queendom event.

Also on the card for July 20th, Spike Nishimura will defend her newly won Sendai Girls World Junior Championship. She will face off with YUNA, who also made her challenge at SENJO THE BIGGEST.
