Giulia Hopes To Defend World Of Stardom Title Against Mayu Iwatani, Utami Hayashishita, And Others

Giulia discusses some future opponents for her World of Stardom Championship.

Giulia recently defeated Syuri for the World of Stardom Championship at Stardom Dream Queendom. Now, she finds herself in a unique position at the top of the mountain and she is more than ready to be a fighting champion.

During a recent interview with Fightful’s Scott Edwards, which was conducted before Stardom Dream Queendom, Giulia named some of the women she would like to defend the championship against in the future. The first person she named was someone she considers to be a symbol of the stardom brand, Mayu Iwatani. 

“There’s Mayu Iwatani. She’s the symbol of Stardom, and I’ve had several fights with her at big shows, but all of them were non-title fights. For me, coming from outside of Stardom, it’s one of my goals to have a title match with the symbol of Stardom. A match with her is always different from what I imagined it would be. That’s what makes it interesting. How will I respond to moves and techniques that are beyond my expectations? I am excited about the matchup. I want everyone overseas to look forward to it,” said Giulia.

Also, Giulia named Utami Hayashishita and Tsukasa Fujimoto as other names she would like to defend the title against. Even though Fujimoto is currently sidelined and focused on motherhood, Giulia believes that timing may be on her side and she will be able to face Fujimoto soon.

“I also want to fight against Utami Hayashishita,” said Giulia. “Like Mayu Iwatani, she is a great fighter who debuted in Stardom. I have been fighting in Stardom for three years, but I have never had a singles match with Utami. I think one of the reasons is that when I was fighting as the White Belt champion, she was fighting as the Red Belt champion. It would be very thrilling and exciting if my first match with her could be a title match on a big show.

Lastly, if I were to give lip service, it would be Tsukasa Fujimoto, who lured me into the world of professional wrestling,” Giulia added. “She is currently on a leave of absence due to childbirth, but I hear she will be back soon. If the timing is right, I have a feeling that I would like her to challenge for my title. I have many feelings of gratitude and also resentment towards her…I would like to meet her in the ring.”
