RED STARS-A Official Match

The HATE wrestlers suffered contrasting fates. At the "Sammy presents STARDOM 5★STAR GP 2026" Red Stars A official match held at Ishikawa Industrial Exhibition Hall No. 2 on July 25th (Saturday), HATE's Rina faced Tetsu Akira

Having made it through the qualifying rounds to compete, Tetsu attacked with a barrage of dropkicks, body slams, and elbows, but his opponent turned the tables with a hip throw. He followed up with a double knee drop

He then endured the Iron Neck Slash, Fisherman Suplex, and Modified Facelock, and refused to be pinned for a three count in the pinning contest. He turned the tables again with a counter Big Boot, and finally caught his opponent in a Hydrangea, forcing him to tap out

She suffered a defeat in her first match on the 19th (Toyohashi) against local player Sayaka Kurei, starting with a loss, but now her record is 1 win and 1 loss

After the match, she reflected, "This is our first two points here. Last year, we started with four straight wins, so I was a little worried when we lost to Kurei right at the beginning, but still, if you give up, it's over in this league. And Akira. Well, I've always complained about the right to play in 5★STAR, but last year I made it to the top four in my first appearance and got four trophies, and although I didn't win the championship so it's nothing to brag about, it was my first appearance, and Akira is also making his first appearance today, and once you're playing, being a rookie doesn't really matter. Akira needs to have that kind of spirit and the determination to win, otherwise the value of 5★STAR will go down, so I want him to be aware of that and play accordingly. I think Akira understands that without me having to say it. So it was fun playing."

At the Joetsu tournament on July 26th, she will face off against her stablemate, Natsuko Tora. Rina proudly declared, "I won last year, and this year I'm going to take down Natsuko Tora again!"
