On the 11th, Sayaka Kurei, the next challenger for the World of Stardom Championship, finally unleashed her anger
The setting was the elevator lobby on the 5th floor of Korakuen Hall, the "holy ground of professional wrestling and martial arts." Historically, this place has been the site of numerous incidents in the world of professional wrestling
Before the match that day, Kamiya called out to people in front of the elevator hall on the 5th floor of Korakuen Hall to promote the collaborative T-shirts with Korakuen Hall that have been on sale since the 8th
Fans rushing to enter poured out of the arriving elevators. That's when it happened. Kyurei appeared, her face filled with rage
"What are you doing before the match?!"
On this day, a preliminary match between Kurei and Kamiya was scheduled for the main event, a 14-person tag team match. Despite this, it seems that Kamiya felt she wasn't focused on the match
However, Kamitani slapped Kurei with the POP display for the collaboration T-shirt, saying, "Not you again. Don't get in the way! What do you want? You lost to her last time. Why don't you go practice? It's before the match, there's no time!" Kamitani had won by direct pinfall in the preliminary match on the 8th, so she had no right to say that
Then Kyurei snapped. "I'm going to take the red belt! Kozuen isn't disbanding either! I'm going to win today!" she shouted, delivering an elbow strike. The champion fought back, and a fierce elbow exchange ensued in front of the crowd, totaling 24 blows
After slamming Kurei against the wall, Kamiya said, "See you later," and got into the arriving elevator, but Kurei didn't give up
She grabbed Kamiya's leg and wouldn't let go. She straddled him, and the door nearly slammed shut several times, but Kurei seemed consumed with resentment that day. She got behind the champion and locked him in a tenacious sleeper hold. The door slammed shut, so the outcome is unknown, but it's clear that Kurei, who had been on the defensive up until then, had entered "serious mode," showing her emotions to the fullest
Incidentally, this is the fourth time Kyurei has attacked Kamiya, including the attack during the autobiography book signing event. Kamiya, on the other hand, has only attacked Kyurei once, on April 3rd while she was praying at Kanda Myojin Shrine
The rivalry between the two is only intensifying as they prepare for the World Championship match at Yokohama Arena on April 26th
