Mercedes Mone is no longer the IWGP Women’s Champion as she dropped the title to Mayu Iwatani at Sunday’s STARDOM’s All Star Grand Queendom event
The co-main event bout was back and forth, with the finish seeing Mayu going over to end Mone’s reign.
Following the bout, Mayu asked Mone to get back into the ring where they showed each other respect. Mone told her to take care of the championship. Iwatani now becomes the third person behind Mone and KAIRI to hold the championship.
Mone agreed to a contract extension with NJPW/STARDOM hours before the match took place, as Mone’s previous deal was expiring after the match.
After making her promotional debut in January at Wrestle Kingdom, the former WWE star beat KAIRI in February to win the title.
Upset that her beautiful face was busted by Mayu Iwatani, @MercedesVarnado claimed after her IWGP Women’s Title Loss she’s not done with #STARDOM or @njpwglobal by a long mile — and reminded everyone she’s still rich. “You are not the Undertaker, Mayu!” pic.twitter.com/KVkKIvJNNS
