At the "STARDOM GW TOUR 2026 in KUMAMOTO" held at Kumamoto Castle Hall Civic Hall on Monday, May 4th, Yuna Mizumori, the High Speed Champion known as the "Unsinkable Battleship of Kumamoto," achieved a triumphant victory in her hometown
In the main event, a six-person tag team match, she teamed up with Sayaka Kurei and Aya Sakura to face AZM, Maki Ito, and Gina. Starting with a speedy exchange with AZM, she and Kurei and Sakura executed a simultaneous triple dropkick, thrilling the crowd
However, when Ito, who hails from Fukuoka, provoked Mizumori by saying, "Fukuoka is the best in Kyushu," Mizumori was beaten up in front of Chikuwan, the official mascot of Yatsushiro City, which AZM had brought to ringside. For Mizumori, who is also from Yatsushiro City, this was nothing short of humiliating
Nevertheless, Gina landed a running shoulder attack followed by a guillotine choke, and 619 desperately endured a heavy chop
Furthermore, with assistance from Sakura and Kurei, they executed a combined brainbuster on Gina, and finally, Kumamoto's Unsinkable Battleship (Lariat) delivered a decisive blow, securing the 3-count victory over Gina
Gina, who has been defeated four times so far, is the top contender to challenge for the title, but the title fight in Kumamoto that she had hoped for never materialized. Now that she has finally achieved a result, Mizumori calls out to her, "Gina, you're really tough, you're strong. But I'm invincible in Kumamoto. I've lost to you four times. So it's about time we settled this once and for all."
Gina then accepted the title match at the Korakuen Hall event on May 17th
Mizumori then added, "It has always been my dream to return to Kumamoto with the belt in hand. Today, that dream has come true. Sakura and Kurei are both wearing the same belt, and I am so proud that we were able to have a match as SakuraraMon and win. Thank you." She then expressed her gratitude to Sakura and Kurei, and promised, "Even when the arena wasn't full and during tough times, everyone supported us. Thank you so much. We couldn't have a title match today, but next year, as the High Speed Champion, I will definitely have a title match here with 13 defenses, surpassing the record of 12 defenses held by AZM!"
The tournament concluded with the chant, "Tropical, Yahoo!"
