HANAKO, aiming to win the Goddess of Stardom Championship, made a strong appeal. In the 3-way battle at "STARDOM in TAJIMI 2026 Jun." held on June 26th (Friday) at the 5th floor grand hall of the Tajimi City Industrial Culture Center in Gifu, Lady C, Amasaki Mitsuyoshi, and HANAKO clashed. As they approached their hometown of Kyoto, HANAKO and Amasaki became increasingly open about their rivalry and engaged in a fierce battle
Holding hands with their left hands, HANAKO and Lady exchanged elbows in a fierce, hand-to-hand combat. HANAKO continued her rampage, even slamming Tenzaki into Lady with a body slam, before finally securing the victory by slamming Tenzaki with a powerful JP Coaster
After the match, she boasted, "I beat the Goddess Champion, Mitsuyoshi Amasaki! I'm going to keep this momentum going and take your Goddess title, so look forward to it!"
Goddess Champions 02line (Amasaki & AZM) successfully defended their title for the first time at Korakuen Hall on June 14th, defeating FWC (Hazuki & Koguma). After the match, Maika & HANAKO ("Cup High Mate") declared their intention to challenge them next
The reigning champions accepted the offer, and it was agreed that they would discuss the date of the title match over drinks after the Korakuen Hall event
However, when Tensaki pointed out, "We haven't decided on a date (for the title match)," AZM, who was in her corner, also appeared in the ring. "HANAKO, let me say something," she began, speaking in Kansai dialect once again for some reason, and continued, "First of all, you left Korakuen Hall early saying you were going to make a restaurant reservation, right? You say it's a preliminary match, but if you're going to challenge, isn't it common sense to take the champion out to dinner at least once?"
In other words, the drinking party to decide the date and time for the title match after the June 14 Korakuen Hall event never happened..
HANAKO then simply apologized, saying, "I'm sorry about what happened back then." She then added, "I'll make a reservation at a really delicious restaurant. Thank you for treating me, senpai."
HANAKO was being opportunistic, but AZM responded by showing her generosity by saying, "Well, since you're my senior, I'll treat you to anything."
