I can't say enough about Momo Watanabe as a person or talent and her run from the bottom to the top of the World to now being the Leader of Queen's Quest. The first time I saw that Momo had it as a talent I think it was 2015 or 16 and she was facing Io Shirai this before the groups were really around and Momo was just a young talent learning but that Match she had with Io then amazed me. She had Io on the ropes many times and I do remember Io giving her props after the Match. It wasn't too long after that they become a group and off to the races we went and she would of been Champion a Year prior if not for her leg injury to be honest. I'm hoping now it being 2021 and it being over in a few Months 2022 is going to be her Year to get her back on the top.

Can't add anything HoHo said, but I will say I do hope Stardom starts using her right and all because now she seems like a after thought in her own faction.
