Following Tsukiyama Wakana, Rian also received a pay cut. It has been decided that she will team up with Tsukiyama at Korakuen Hall on May 26th. "I have mixed feelings."

What exactly happened behind the scenes? At the May 23rd event at the Toyota Gosei Memorial Gymnasium in Aichi, which featured various title matches that generated much buzz, a minor commotion occurred during the 3-way battle between Tsukiyama Waka, Rian, and Hamabe Matoi, which took place during the Die Zero Time

During the match, Rian became enraged after being warned for stomping on referee Duke Sado's foot. Moreover, after being defeated by Tsukiyama's Moonlight Dream, Rian committed the outrageous act of stomping on the referee's foot again before running away

The person who took issue with this was President Taro Okada, who, as the tournament director, watched the match from ringside. On the match card sheet where the president noted the match times and winning moves, lines were drawn under Tsukiyama and Rian, with the hastily written note, "Salary cut for both of you!!" He also added the reason, "Tsukiyama's training is poor." This has become known among some wrestlers as the "Okada Memo" and is feared by them

The whole thing started with a 3-way match held at the Takasaki tournament on May 16th between Sorei Ami, Tsukiyama Wakana, and Namashima Emma. During the match, Tsukiyama fled the ring, leaving her junior, Namashima, to die. The audience started murmuring, and people began calling her a "slacker" and calling her a "cheapskate." At that time, President Okada wrote "salary reduction" on Tsukiyama's match card. He explained the reason for the punishment as "because Tsukiyama had been slacking off all along, and because Emma was the one who was suffering."

The next day, on May 17th, at the Korakuen Hall event, a 3-way battle took place (Tsukiyama vs. Rian vs. Hamabe Matoi), and there was further development. After defeating Hamabe and securing the victory, Rian commented, "It seems Tsukiyama had his pay cut in yesterday's 3-way battle, and I'm sure he'll have his pay cut again today." She then added, "I'll earn the money that Tsukiyama-san lost. Just you wait!" showing her intention to support Tsukiyama. Tsukiyama and Rian were teammates in the tag team "Gamushara Fantasy" during their time in E neXus V, which disbanded in February. It seems she couldn't remain silent in the face of her former partner's plight

However, it is true that Rian is now having doubts. After the Aichi tournament, she confided, "I can't make money if I stay with Tsukiyama. I'm afraid my salary will be cut too... I want to make money, so I can't stay with Tsukiyama."

Nevertheless, it has been decided that Tsukiyama and Rian will team up at the Korakuen Hall event in Tokyo on May 26th, to face Maki Ito and Kian Furusawa. Rian says she has "mixed feelings," but will they be able to function as a tag team...?
