At "STARDOM in KORAKUEN 2026 Feb." (February 28, Korakuen Hall), Saki Kashima secured a well-set victory. In a six-person tag team match, she teamed with Rina Yamashita and Itsuki Aoki against Wakana Tsukiyama, Rian, and Anne Kanaya. Kashima, who has announced her retirement from active competition at the Yokohama Arena on April 26, has been in top form lately. At the Otsu event on February 20, she secured a lightning-fast victory against Saori Anno, who was making a homecoming appearance, and then won the rematch, making it two wins in a row
On this day, Kashima appeared accompanied by Yamashita and Aoki, both dressed in black suits and sunglasses, looking like important politicians. It seemed the two were his bodyguards... Kashima was already exhausted from the start, staggering even during the first rope work. Moreover, he left the match to Yamashita and Aoki and remained waiting in the corner
When it was finally his turn, he attempted a body slam on Kanaya, but Kanaya clutched his waist in agony. Seeing this, the bodyguards stepped in to help. In the end, Yamashita delivered a rock drop, and Aoki set up the pinfall with a frog splash. Kashima then gracefully stomped on the groggy Kanaya to secure the three-count
After the match, Kashima appeared backstage with his bodyguards and commented, "I came here today feeling completely at ease. Wow, this is great. I'm winning without feeling so tired. It's amazing," before being carried away to the locker room by the two of them
