30-year-old wrestler set to return from an injury - Reports

Wrestlers often miss time inside the squared circle due to any major or minor injury while performing for the fans. Recently, a new report suggests that a multi-time champion is set to return from a broken finger injury by the end of 2023.

Mayu Iwantani is a decorated performer currently working with World Wonder Ring Stardom. Apart from leading her faction, Iwantani is the third-ever IWGP Women's Champion after she defeated Mercedes Mone at Stardom All-Star Grand Queendom.

Last month, Iwantani dislocated her pinky finger, which caused her to miss the Gold Rush PPV. According to Dave Meltzer from WON, Meltzer revealed that the 30-year-old wrestler is set to return from her injury at the end of the month. Check it out:

"Mayu Iwatani also returns from injury on 12/29."

Stardom Dream Queendom 3 is set to take place at the end of the month in Ryōgoku Kokugikan, which would likely be where Iwantani returns to the promotion.
