Japanese promotion Pro Wrestling NOAH have crowned their first-ever Women’s Champion with a Marigold starlet.
Kouki Amarei, part of the Marigold promotion, was victorious in a ‘Magic Rumble’ to emerge as the first-ever GHC Women’s Champion. The match featured stars from Marigold, Marvelous and freelance wrestlers. That included Japanese wrestling legend Chigusa Nagayo, one of the original Crush Girls, making an appearance as a surprise final entrant.
It remains to be seen if the title will regularly appear in NOAH, or if it will be a Championship more exclusive to the Magic Monday seasonal shows similar to the promotion’s current GHC Hardcore Championship.
