Fans now have an early idea as to what the IWGP Women's Championship will look like.
On August 22, NJPW announced that the first-ever champion will be crowned at the Historic X-Over event, which will be held on November 20. The show will feature the finals of the tournament that will determine the inaugural champion. The participants of the finals will be determined throughout the rest of the bracket, which will take place across NJPW Royal Quest II night two, STARDOM's October 22 event, and STARDOM's show on October 23.
Tokyo Sports subsequently revealed today the design for the title, which was based on that of the second IWGP Heavyweight Championship design.

The IWGP Women's Championship will be defended at NJPW events, and the first defense will be held at Wrestle Kingdom 17 on January 4.
The Historic X-Over show will feature talent like Tom Lawlor, Syuri, Giulia, Zack Sabre Jr., Hiroshi Tanahashi, Utami Hayashishita, Hirooki Goto, and Maika, among other stars.
During an appearance on NJPW Bread Club with Matt & Ciaran, Kevin Kelly stated that he hopes to bring English commentary to STARDOM events. You can check out his comments by clicking here.
