The title isn&#8217;t usually on the line in the tournament but former champion Nagisa Nozaki was originally scheduled to wrestle Suzuki in the final and opted to put her title on the line as well. An injury to Nozaki has forced her out for the foreseeable future meaning Takase and Suzuki wrestled for the tournament win and the vacant title, with Suzuki emerging victorious.<\/p>\n<p>The title match headlined WAVE&#8217;s anniversary celebration which saw them run multiple shows across two days, culminating in the Joshi dream match of Suzu Suzuki vs Hikaru Shida. It was Shida who emerged victorious, winning the Regina Di WAVE for the second time in her career and winning her first title in Japan since her run as OZ Academy Openweight Champion in 2018-2019. WAVE fans will no doubt be excited to see the champion represent their brand on All Elite Wrestling.<\/p>\n<p>Stay tuned to the\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/prowrestling\/\" target=\"_self\">Last Word on Pro Wrestling<\/a>\u00a0for more on this and other stories from around the world of wrestling, as they develop.
