The battle between the world's cutest wrestler and the deathmatch Amazoness came to a spectacular end. Maki Ito and Rina Yamashita clashed in the Red Stars B official match of the midsummer league tournament "Sammy presents STARDOM 5★STAR GP 2026" (July 26th, Niigata, Duo Cerezo)
The match, which began with a staring contest, intensified as time went on. Ito had a rough time, having her hair grabbed and her prized face rubbed against the ropes, but she managed to stop the rule-breaking "World's Cutest Knuckle" with a powerbomb. She then immediately delivered the real thing
Furthermore, he countered Yamashita's chops with a headbutt, followed up with a stunner and a curb stomp
Immediately afterward, Ito went outside the ring and rummaged around under the ring mat. What he pulled out was a pizza cutter. Of course, he was immediately stopped by referee Murayama Daichi
Yamashita, however, was not to be outdone. He picked up a bamboo skewer, and the two continued their exchange of blows while still armed. When the enraged referee Murayama tried to end the match by disqualification, the two threw away their weapons and sincerely apologized. Bamboo skewers were scattered all over the ring
On top of that, Yamashita launched a rock drop. He then followed up with a brainbuster onto the mat outside the ring
Ito retaliated with a swinging DDT from the audience. Both wrestlers suffered heavy damage and ended up outside the venue still tangled. The count continued outside the ring all the while
Ultimately, the referee counted to 20, and at 12 minutes and 44 seconds, a double count-out was declared. It's a mystery what kind of struggle took place during that time to end up like this, but the two returned, wrapped up in masking tape. Of course, it was too late
After the match, the two appeared backstage, both still wrapped in tape
Ito , come down the mountain for a second! What the hell are you doing?!
Yamashita, Ito Maki, you bastard. Damn it. As an American indie artist, I couldn't lose to Ito Maki. And as someone who secretly longs to be an idol, I couldn't lose to you either!
Ito , did you ever dream of becoming an idol? Are you going to join the Ito Respect Squad? I think Rina-chan would be fine. She's cute.
Yamashita , is that okay?
Ito, yes.
Yamashita , isn't that bad?
Ito (singing)
Yamashita, wait a minute! Ito Maki. Our real enemy isn't each other!
伊藤 Ito ?
Yamashita and Murayama are big contenders! The referee! I'm going to beat him to a pulp and leave him as bones right now! Let's go!
Ito, let's go!
After this exchange, I left the scene
In addition, in Red Stars B, former Wonder Champion Konami faced Lady C. Lady came on the offensive right away, but the battle-hardened Konami remained calm. She landed a mounted punch, then lured Lady out of the ring as she tried to use her signature move, crashing into the audience. From there, she relentlessly attacked both of Lady's arms
He then pressed his advantage with an armlock, a modified feather hold, a sleeper hold, and a jumping high kick. He kicked out of his opponent's choke slam at the count of 2.9, and refused to let him finish off with the Zgyuuun. He followed up with a German suplex and two consecutive buzzsaw kicks, and finally secured the victory with a punt kick to the face
After the match, black spray paint was sprayed onto Lady's face. It was then pressed onto a portrait to complete the face print. Following Seira Mei the previous day, this completes the collection for the second person
Konami, who secured two consecutive wins without a single loss, defiantly declared, "Lady C, it's the end. And next up is Korakuen... I've been waiting for you, Utami Hayashishita, and I'll finally get to face you at Korakuen. I'll definitely take your head too. You, Utami Hayashishita, will be the next to join my collection." Her momentum shows no signs of stopping
