At "STARDOM NIGHTER in KORAKUEN 2026 May." on Tuesday, May 26th, IWGP Women's Champion Syuri named Rina Yamashita as her next challenger
In a 4-way tag team battle, God's Eye's Shuri and Toraryu Kiyoka faced Mi Vida Loca's Yamashita and Aoki Itsuki, COSMIC ANGELS' Mizumori Yuna and Sakura Aya, and NEO GENESIS's AZM and Koguma. Shuri unleashed a powerful kick, to which Yamashita responded with an elbow. They then glared at each other, head to head, and when Yamashita attempted a brainbuster, Shuri immediately countered with a knee lift, neither giving an inch
The match ended in 5 minutes and 54 seconds when Sakura defeated Tora-ryu with Sakuracchi
After the match, Shuri grabbed the microphone and called out, "There is a wrestler I want to challenge for the IWGP title. And it's someone who was in the ring with me just now. Yamashita Rina!"
Furthermore, he demanded a match at the event held on June 20th at the National Yoyogi Gymnasium No. 2 in Tokyo, saying, "Surely you're not going to refuse, right?"
Yamashita then accepted, saying, "Shuri-san, no, Shuri! Of course I'll accept! I've always wanted to fight you one-on-one. I'd be happy to take on the challenge."
Moreover, he began by saying, "I have just one request," and then proposed, "The title match is on June 20th, and there are several events until then, but I want no preliminary matches whatsoever. Just one match on June 20th. There's no need for preliminary matches. We have history and passion. What do you think?"
Shuri readily agreed, saying, "That's awesome. I love that kind of excitement. Let's show everyone our history and our feelings in the ring!" and the clash in the V4 match was now confirmed
