What exactly happened? At "STARDOM NIGHTER in KORAKUEN 2026 May." held at Korakuen Hall in Tokyo on Tuesday, May 26th, the "world's cutest" Maki Ito made a shocking spectacle
Since joining Stardom in January, we had never seen such a charismatic side of her. On this day, in the second match, a tag team match, she teamed up with Furusawa Kian, a protégé of the Ito Respect Army, to face Tsukiyama Waka and Rian's "Gamushara Fantasy"

Meanwhile, Rian picked up the ribbon that Ito had left in the ring, but..
