Rina, who has been leading the young brand NEW BLOOD, faces off against the legend Yumiko Hotta in a surprising one-on-one match. Can Rina stick to her usual self in front of a legend from All Japan Women's Pro-Wrestling? Or will she be defeated?
The gong sounds, and they slowly take to the mat. They lock up and test their strength, with Hotta pushing forward. Rina immediately tries to turn and throw Hotta into the ropes, but Hotta remains unfazed and delivers an elbow. Hotta grabs Rina's hair and throws her into the ropes, and Momo hits her with a bat from below the ring. H.A.T.E. attacks Hotta below the ring. Rina takes Hotta into the audience and delivers a big boot and a series of elbows. Rina brings Hotta into the ring, corners her, and stomps on her face, shouting, "What legend are you talking about!" Rina then pulls out a whip and starts hitting her. When Hotta accepts the challenge, Rinami throws away her whip and charges, but Hotta anticipates it and delivers a lariat. Hotta sends Rinami out of the ring and slams her against the fence. Hotta then slams her seconds one after another. She brings Rinami back into the ring and drenches her hair. "What the hell do you want?!" Rinami retaliates with a slap, followed by a series of elbows and big boots. Hotta catches the fourth and applies a sleeper hold, but Rinami escapes, only for Hotta to deliver a soccer ball kick. Hotta charges, but Rinami responds with a hip throw, a big boot, and a dropkick. Hotta counters with a low kick. Rinami is not thrown into the ropes and shouts "Here we go!" and applies a figure-four leglock. Hotta kicks out of the roll-up. Rinami climbs onto the corner and delivers a missile kick. Hotta stands with her arms outstretched to receive it. Rinami pulls Hotta up and forcefully applies a hydrangea. When Hotta escapes, Rinami delivers a diving double knee drop from second base. Hotta kicks out, and Rinami climbs to the corner again. Hotta catches up and taunts her, "Come on." Rinami lands a series of elbows, Hotta lands a headbutt and a superplex. Rinami kicks out, and Hotta declares she's going for the finish and goes for a double armlock. Rinami counters with a jackknife. Hotta kicks out, and Rinami lands a big boot, but Hotta counters with a lariat. Rinami spins around but kicks out at two. Hotta grabs her arm and applies a chokehold. Hotta gives a warning and applies a sleeper hold. Rinami lands an elbow, and Hotta counters with a palm strike. Rinami immediately gets up and charges, but Hotta applies a sleeper hold. Rinami gives up and Hotta wins.
Hotta: "Hello everyone at Stardom, I'm Hotta. This ring is where, 20... no, wait, 32 years ago, All Japan Women's Pro-Wrestling held its first major event, Yokohama Arena, and women's pro-wrestling became a boom here! Did you all know that? And Stardom is here again today, with a packed house, and I'm sure we'll make something amazing happen! Let's unleash this power, this women's pro-wrestling! Thank you! And Rina, hey, do you even have a soul? Come on, give it your all. Did you think I'd go down so easily? I'm 58 years old! And here I am, Rina, with my power. Next time we meet, you gotta practice. Thank you!"
"I think it's because they had such high hopes from the company that they were able to play a single match with Hotta and Hotta Yumiko, a match without any title at Yokohama Arena, but I didn't have the courage to be beaten when he was beaten by sleeper at the end, so I'm embarrassed to tap, but it's not even a month since I've only just wrestled, so I'll really swear to lead stardom from now on! Hotta Yumiko, I'll definitely beat her next time, so be prepared."
