At "STARDOM in OSAKA 2026 Feb." (February 21st, Edion Arena Osaka 2nd Gymnasium), Sayaka Kurei, who is aiming to be the next challenger for the World of Stardom Championship, suffered a crushing defeat
In the main event 10-person tag team match, Kurei teamed up with Natsupoi, Mizumori Yuna, Ito Maki, and Furusawa Kian to face HATE, consisting of Konami, Tora Natsuko, Ruanka, Rina, and Fukigen Desu★. Kurei immediately glared at the World Champion, Kamitani Saya, who was in the opposing team's corner
Before the tournament that day, he directly asked Kamiya, who was handing out her autobiography, if he could take on the next challenge. However, he was flatly refused and ended up being made to do customer service work as well
He changed his mindset and went into the match, but Tora dragged him outside the ring and then Kamitani threw him into the seats. Nevertheless, with the help of his teammates, he caught Tora in a body-scissors sleeper hold. He then finished him off with a missile kick
However, at a crucial moment, his Tokimeki Spiller was dodged, and he fell victim to Kamiya's Big Boot, who had interfered. In the end, he was hit with Tora's Swanton Bomb and suffered a humiliating three-count defeat
After the match, Kamitani, holding a microphone, hurled insults at Kurei, saying, "Hey, Kurei! You keep saying nonsense on social media about GPS and black holes, it's really annoying. Saya-sama is busy with her autobiography gathering, so don't bother her, you idiot!" and then stepped on her
In a state of confusion, Kurei grappled with Kamiya, but was defeated by HATE. Having suffered humiliation twice in one day, Kurei could barely manage to stammer out, "I will never break, I will never give up. It doesn't matter if you say I'm no match for you. I will stand before you. I am the only one who can take that belt." Will she be able to win over the object of her affection?
