Don't you think Rinami can do it, everyone? I thought it might be in Stardom, but it's you, (Hina, who was in my corner). Let me just say, when Rinami was the challenger, she said something about not letting someone who got injured and came back so quickly challenge her, and that's still the same now. There's no way I'm going to let you challenge me right after you come back. Hurry up and come back and challenge me."
Hinami: "First of all, congratulations on your sixth title defense. As Rinami said, I'm not saying you have to challenge for the Future belt right after you return. But I will definitely challenge for this Future belt that Rinami holds, so you hold onto it until then."
Rinami: "So, I'm wondering why I'm not the main event today. Normally, since it's Rinami's homecoming, I should be the main event! Hey, hey, don't mess with me. Let me tell you, the Future belt is the most important belt in Stardom, you idiot!"
