The third victim was... At the "Sammy presents STARDOM 5★STAR GP 2026" Red Stars B official match held at Korakuen Hall in Tokyo on Tuesday, July 28th, Konami of HATE faced Utami Hayashishita. Konami had already defeated Mei Seira and Lady C, winning her first two matches of the season. Moreover, she had been collecting face prints of her defeated opponents
Having defeated Utami, who had a record of 1 win, 1 draw, and 1 loss and hadn't been able to find her rhythm, Konami showed no mercy. She cornered Utami with her signature kicks, then took a running start from the apron and landed a soccer ball kick on Utami outside the ring. She then used the steel post to inflict pain on Utami's left arm, and mercilessly stomped on her left hand
Furthermore, she caught Utami in a sleeper hold on the corner and then locked her in a Trial Guru Lancer. She endured her opponent's German suplex, lariat, bat hanging drop, and torture rack bomb, then escaped the Crusade by switching bodies and applied a front neck lock. She then locked in a body scissors sleeper hold, and the referee stopped the match when he saw that Utami was motionless
After the match, black spray paint was sprayed onto Utami's face, and then her face was pressed against a portrait to create a face print
Konami, who has achieved an undefeated 3-0 record, laughed loudly, "She is the first of the two people I absolutely wanted to beat in this league. I'm so happy she's now in my collection. What? You want to stay together this summer too? Your summer ends today. But in return, you'll be in my collection, and we'll be together not just this summer, but forever."
Her next match is against Saya Iida at the Korakuen Hall event on August 3rd. "She lost my Wonder belt, so I'm sure she's really upset and thinking of taking revenge on me, right? But it's you, Saya Iida, who will be sinking in the ring again. Saya Iida, the end," she declared defiantly
Meanwhile, Utami, who suffered a heartbreaking second defeat, expressed her frustration, saying, "The fact that I'm in this state means I've lost to Konami. I've become part of Konami's disgusting collection. Ever since the press conference, I've thought Konami was the opponent I needed to be most careful of, and I thought I had come up with some countermeasures. To be in this state, to have this done to me, is incredibly humiliating. Damn it. I finally got my first win against Iida in 5★STAR and scored 2 points, and just when I thought things were looking up, this can't go on. Even if I get the remaining 3 wins, that's only 9 points. It's going to be a very close call. I absolutely cannot afford to lose."
In addition, in Red Stars B, "the cutest in the world" Maki Ito faced off against Lady C. Her attempt at the cutest knuckle kick early in the match was blocked, and she was hit with a giant swing that spun 25 times... Both wrestlers were already in a groggy state
But Ito wasn't giving up either. He fought back with a diving body attack and a headbutt. He even used the ropes to land a stunner, then countered a chokeslam with a stunner of his own, and followed up with a foot stomp to the face
After a body slam with a significant height difference, he finally falls victim to a choke slam, but refuses to be pinned for the three count. He blocks a spinning choke slam and goes on the offensive with a roll-up. He dodges a Zgyuuun and secures the victory with a lightning-fast Ito Clutch
The victorious Ito exclaimed, "I'm so happy to have beaten Lady C! It was so much fun! Ito-chan is so cute!" with a triumphant expression
Meanwhile, Lady, who has suffered four consecutive losses without a win, said, "It's bad. I can't make any progress. It's bad, but I'm also incredibly excited right now. Because there are still opponents I absolutely want to beat, and there are also people I want to get revenge on. I'm really looking forward to these remaining matches. There's nothing left to lose, so I'm going to go all out to win."
