World of Stardom champion Sayaka Kurei has proposed a singles match to Anne Kanaya, who wants to join COSMIC ANGELS (COSMIC ANGELS)
At "STARDOM in SENDAI 2026 Jun." (Sendai PIT, Miyagi) on Saturday, June 6th, she participated in the main event, a six-person tag team match. She teamed up with Saori Anno and Kanaya to face off against Suzu Suzuki, Akira Tetsu, and Gina
This was the fourth preliminary encounter between Suzuki, whom he will face in his V2 title defense at the June 20th Yoyogi tournament. They faced each other again in the middle of the match and engaged in a fierce elbow exchange. Despite being left dazed by the powerful elbows, he fought back with a missile kick, a swan dive flying elbow, and a body scissors sleeper hold
With perfect coordination with Kanaya, they landed a triple heel drop, and finally, the red champion showed his dominance by hitting Tetsu with a thrilling spear
After the match, Kurei grabbed Suzuki by the scruff of the neck and threw her into the corner, promising, "Today we beat Suzuki Suzu's team, but tomorrow is the final preliminary match. I will get the three count myself. And I will definitely defend my title." She concluded on the microphone, "I was able to wear the red belt, but I'm still only halfway to achieving my dream. So I want to continue chasing my dream even more. Dreams don't run away. I believe that if you keep chasing them, you can achieve them. That's why I love professional wrestling."
Backstage, Sakura suggested to Kanaya, who has yet to achieve a victory on her own, "It's natural to feel anxious when everyone around you is winning one after another. I felt the same way. So, on the 14th, Suzu Suzuki will be taking a break and there won't be a preliminary match. How about we do a 'Sakura judging' competition?"
Kanaya, who directly appealed to join Kozuen during the Golden Week tour, underwent what they called a "Sakura-ra evaluation" by Sakura Aya and Kurei, and the process was shared on their social media accounts. Now, Kurei herself will be conducting the evaluation in the ring
Kanaya's eyes lit up as she shook hands and said, "I'll take that audition. I've always wanted to have a singles match with Kurei. To be honest, you might think I'm not good enough right now, but anything can happen in pro wrestling. I'll come at you head-on, so come and crush me. I'm coming to crush Kurei." She couldn't contain her excitement
