Giulia to defend NJPW Strong Women’s title at Impact x NJPW Multiverse United 2
American fans will have their chance to see Stardom standout and NJPW Strong Women’s Champion Giulia stateside at this Sunday’s Impact x NJPW Multiverse United 2.
After several weeks of Impact talent calling her out, it was revealed Thursday that Giulia will defend the title against former Impact Knockouts Champion Deonna Purrazzo, Gisele Shaw and Stardom regular Momo Kohgo in a four-way.
The co-promoted pay-per-view is set for this Sunday at the 2300 Arena in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. It’s the first of two straight Sundays of featured events for Impact as Emergence emanates from Toronto the following Sunday.
Giulia defeated Willow Nightingale for the title in July and has successfully defended it once. She has won several titles in Stardom and has captured increased fan interest in recent years for her matches.
In another new match added to the show, former X-Division Champion TJP & Francesco Akira will take on Robbie Eagles & Kosei Fujita. Eagles appeared on Impact’s recent Down Under tour.
