The idea behind the White Belt and Red Belt was that either could be more prestigious than the other at a given time, with the White Belt champion more oriented towards storytelling and the red oriented more towards "best matches."
Bushiroad moved away from that and made the Red belt more prestigious, which is a shame because Iwata is definitely more Red Belt material but not necessarily "top figure in Stardom" material.
Oddly, Kamitani is really more of a traditional "White Belt" figure... would have been great if she replaced it with a Black Belt.
