Giulia: I Don’t Know If I Want The IWGP Women’s Championship, I Still Want Fight KAIRI Sometime Soon

Giulia talks KAIRI and the IWGP Women’s Championship.

Giulia made history at STARDOM’s recent Dream Queendom show back on December 29, 2022, as she defeated Syuri to become the new World Of STARDOM Champion. Giulia’s win marked the end of Syuri’s 365 day reign with the belt. This is also Giulia’s second reign with a singles belt in STARDOM, as she was previously the Wonder Of STARDOM Champion.

In a new interview with Fightful, Giulia noted that she wants to fight KAIRI soon, even if the match isn’t for the brand new IWGP Women’s Championship.

“If it looks like a belt I want to win from my point of view, I may challenge for it. I cannot say at this stage. What is the champion KAIRI trying to show us? Since the opponent for her first defense is Tam Nakano, I am looking forward to the match itself. I don’t know yet whether I want that belt or not; I would like to fight KAIRI sometime soon. She has a great aura of having fought in the world’s top brand. I think she has adjusted to Japanese wrestling again, and I respect her. But when she faces Giulia, can she have the same attitude that she had with Kamitani and the young guys? I would like to ask her. Her aura is great, but I don’t intend to lose to her either.”

KAIRI is set to defend the IWGP Women’s Championship against Tam Nakano at Wrestle Kingdom 17 later this week. To learn more about the card for the show, click here.
