Saya Iida, also known as "Macho Gori-san," has a heartfelt message for Rina, who is making a triumphant return to her hometown. The two faced each other in a singles match at "STARDOM in UTSUNOMIYA 2026 Jun." held at Light Cube Utsunomiya on Sunday, June 7th
The match started with a fierce exchange of blows outside the ring and elbows, with neither fighter giving an inch, and both men were knocked down at times. Iida was cornered with a Manji-gatame and a Hydrangea, but after 15 minutes, he landed a counter lariat followed by a short-range lariat. Finally, he delivered a vertical drop brainbuster to win the hard-fought match
After the match, Iida grabbed the microphone and said, "I've got a goal now: I want to have a singles match with you. I'll beat Hanan at Yoyogi, and when I get the white belt, let's have a singles match with the belt on the line."
Iida will challenge Hanan, the Wonder of Stardom Champion, at the June 20 Yoyogi event. If she succeeds in winning the title for the first time there, she will face Rinami on her title defense road
Iida continued, "But before that, you're going overseas, right? I'm relieved that the glib-mouthed damn Pink♥Devil is gone. Come back unharmed, you idiot!"
In terms of words, Rinami was not one to be outdone. "Shut up, be quiet. I don't need your meddling. I'll honestly admit defeat today. But when I get back from overseas, I'm going to beat you up," she replied, and left the ring
Iida called out to Rinami, "Come back safely, and take care!" and shook hands firmly with Hanan, who was in his corner. The venue was filled with loud chants of "Iida."
