Maki Ito to face her rival Natsupoi in a one-on-one showdown at Yokohama Arena on April 26: "If you hate the world's cutest Maki Ito that much..." / Korakuen Hall event report, March 31

Maki Ito, the "cutest in the world," has set her sights on Natsupoi as her next target

At the Korakuen Hall event on March 31st, Hazuki, Fuwa-chan, Ito, and Furusawa Kian faced off against COSMIC ANGELS' Natsupoi, Anno Saori, Sakura Aya, and Kurei Sayaka in an 8-person tag team match

Ito was hit with a diving body attack, an armbar, and a low dropkick to the head by Natsupoi, but she didn't back down an inch in the elbow exchange. When Ito hit Natsupoi and Furusawa hit Anno simultaneously with stunners, Ito didn't miss the opportunity to capitalize on the opposing team's friendly fire. Ito immediately hit Natsupoi with a running foot stomp and got the three count

After the match, Ito declared, "Hey, Natsupoi! If you hate the world's cutest Ito Maki so much, then let's have a singles match with this 'Cutest of Cute Belt' on the line. You want this belt, don't you?"

Then, Natsupoi retorted, "I don't want it!" and rashly tore up the belt that Ito had apparently stayed up all night making. The venue erupted in boos, and the two continued their emotionally charged slapping battle for a long time

Ito declared, "On April 26th, it's Maki Ito vs. Natsupoi, I'm gonna do it!" The one-on-one match between the two has now been confirmed. When Ito made her debut on the Stardom mat at the Korakuen Hall event on January 10th, Natsupoi was the first wrestler she named as someone she wanted to face, saying, "I have a connection with her from my previous promotion." All eyes are now on whether this grudge match will finally be settled
