Iwatani wrestled this past Saturday at the ROH-NJPW G1 Supercard, losing the Women of Honor Title to Kelly Klein. She currently holds the Artist Of Stardom Championships along with Saki Kashima and Tam Nakano. 

Iwatani posted the following message on her Twitter account.

Will miss the draft of the 4/14 later.
It's too hard to walk.
I haven't had a sore day since I got hurt.
On the contrary, I worked hard well up to now.
I want to compliment myself.
MSG out, it is a good opportunity to know, but I do not want to mirror this condition, so I will be happy to rest. Hey, guys.
