The signing ceremony for "STARDOM QUEENS DYNASTY 2026 ~Tenka Fubu~," which will be held on Saturday, May 23rd at the Toyota Gosei Memorial Gymnasium (Inazawa City, Aichi Prefecture), took place on the 19th at Bushiroad's headquarters in Tokyo
In the Future of Stardom Championship match, champion Ranna Yagami will be challenged by Kian Furusawa. Furusawa, who is the only one of her contemporaries who has yet to stand on the title stage, said firmly, "Emma (Namashima), who debuted on the same day as me, became Rookie of the Year and had a Future Championship match on the big stage of Yokohama Arena. I was very, very frustrated, but now it's my turn!"
"I will pour everything I have into this, as Yagami Ranna," she vowed with strong words
Meanwhile, the champion narrowed his eyes as he listened to the challenger's enthusiasm. When the challenger declared his intention to challenge him at the Yokohama Arena on April 26, he felt that the motivation was weak and put the challenge on hold, but he said that he had seen a definite change in Furusawa after seeing him during the Golden Week tour
"Their characters are really coming together, and their momentum is increasing rapidly, so honestly, I think they've reached a point where we can't let our guard down," he said, expressing his heightened vigilance
Of course, she has no intention of giving up the belt here. "I feel that I have to defend this belt, so I will definitely defend it after fully accepting Kian's feelings," she said with a determined expression
