A press conference 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. At the conference, Wonder of Stardom Champion Hanan expressed her displeasure towards her former ally Bea Priestley, with whom she will face in her first title defense
As Bea is temporarily back in Japan, only Hanan was able to attend the press conference. At the April 26 Yokohama Arena event where she won the title for the first time, she declared herself the leader of STARS, but was betrayed by Bea shortly afterward, allowing her to join HATE. Furthermore, after watching a video released on the organization's official YouTube channel, she realized that Bea was already part of HATE around the time of last summer's 5★STAR GP
Hana said, "The biggest surprise was that it was from last year. Because she joined STARS in September of last year. So she was in STARS as part of HATE. Isn't that spying?" She expressed her frustration. Moreover, she pressed President Taro Okada, who was also present, asking, "Is spying acceptable in Stardom?"
When President Okada revealed the exchange, saying, "She said during the contract signing that she was happy to be able to work for Stardom, so I said 'thank you'...", Hanan hung her head in despair, saying, "I feel like the whole company has been deceived..."
Nevertheless, she vowed, "This shouldn't have happened, but I can't give up because I don't think the time I spent with Bea as STARS was a fantasy. I want to face Bea again with this belt on the line, and this time, I want to work together as true STARS."
Bee's comments were then read aloud
[Bee's comment] Look at you now. My precious Cinderella is always crying, her little eyes are all swollen. Hanan, you're such a naive and pathetic girl. Do you really think that I, Bee Priestley, the top foreigner who conquered Japan and doesn't care about anyone but myself, would ever seriously want to be your best friend?
Did you really think we were sisters?
Did you think you'd earned my respect just because you got a lucky pinfall on me at the 5★STAR GP? No. You only targeted yourself. I'm a master of the long game. I
put up with your childish STARS nonsense through the fall, winter, and New Year. I wore the costume, clapped my hands, and stood in your corner. I made you think you had a big sister to protect you, just so I could finally steal the spotlight from you and watch the hope drain from your eyes. Listen, Hanan, your biggest weakness isn't wrestling. It's your heart. You truly believed in friendship. You believed in loyalty.
In STARDOM, that kind of thing will only make you weaker
Look at my past. Queen's Quest? I left it behind. Oedo Tai? I never said I quit. Did you seriously think STARS was something different?
At the "All Star Grand Queendom" event at Yokohama Arena, I didn't just ruin your night; I shattered your little fairy tale
Right now, I stand with HATE. That's where I belong. And that white belt? It shouldn't be around the waist of a crying child whose feelings have been hurt. It belongs to me
I've shown you the truth, Hanan. Now, I'm going to take everything you have left
Upon hearing this, Hanan said, "Well, say whatever you want. But in the end, I want to walk down the aisle with Bee with a smile. I want to end the next big match with a smile on my face."
