"Intelligent Monster" Tora Natsuko won the HATE stablemate showdown against Rina. At the "Sammy presents STARDOM 5★STAR GP 2026" Red Stars A official match held at Duo Cerezo in Niigata on Sunday, July 26th, Tora, who had suffered two consecutive losses to start the tournament, clashed with Rina, who had a record of 1 win and 1 loss
Tora was suddenly spat on by Rinami and then whipped outside the ring. He was then thrown into the audience and attacked with a folding chair
Of course, Tora wasn't backing down either. He stopped the momentum with a body attack using his full weight, and then prevented a follow-up attack with a powerful elbow strike
After that, Hydrangea landed two consecutive double knee drops... Although she was struggling against Rina, who was going for the win, she refused to give up the three count
He followed up with a modified Death Valley Bomb, a senton, and a diving body press. He then countered with a lariat, followed by a Liger Bomb, and finally landed a Swanton Bomb, which had backfired the first time, to secure a come-from-behind victory
After the match, Rina reflected on the fight, saying, "Is this my second loss already? Ah, I can't believe it, seriously? There's another match, but I don't want to just say 'I'll do my best next time' so easily, but I have to do my best. Well, doing my best is a given. To be honest, (Tora) was strong, but I also felt that I didn't lose, and I definitely felt that."
Rinami's record is now 1 win and 2 losses. "Well, the fact that I can't beat Kurei and Tora Natsuko means that's the level I'm at right now, or rather, that's as far as I can go. I think I need to raise my level even more in this 5★STAR. However, last year I won 4 straight and since then I haven't experienced having a losing record. So, with 1 win and 2 losses, I'm going to seriously make a comeback from here," she vowed
