In an official Red Stars B match, Utami Hayashishita won her "reunion match" against Lady C
The two were once comrades in the unit Queen's Quest. As if to confirm the two years they had been apart, neither gave an inch in their shoulder tackle battle, glaring at each other with their foreheads touching
Despite struggling against Lady, who unleashed a series of moves including a 10-rotation giant swing, a neckbreaker, and a chokeslam, he refused to give her a decisive opportunity. Even after taking a heavy blow, he immediately got back up and retaliated with a German suplex
After winning a simultaneous lariat exchange, he followed up with a German suplex and a short-range lariat. Finally, he connected with a Torture Rack Bomb to secure the victory
After the match, Lady took the microphone and said, "It's been a long time. There were so many things I wanted to say to you when we met in person like this, but I've forgotten them all now. Two years ago, I was thinking about why you left at that time, and why you came back at this time, and all the other things I wanted to do to you, but I'm really happy that I was able to have a singles match in the main event with Utami-san at this tournament in Sapporo. Thank you very much."
Then Shimi said, "Lady, you're the one I've been the harshest on and the one I've coached the most. I've been incredibly strict with you compared to anyone else. Have you changed at all in the two years I've been gone? I thought today I'd get to have a singles match with Lady C who has changed in the last two years. If you can say 'yes' to what I've asked you today, then I'm glad I got to fight against you. We're just senior and junior now, we're not in the same unit anymore. I probably won't be coaching Lady C strictly anymore, but let's both do our best on our separate paths."
Utami now has 2 wins, 1 draw, and 2 losses, giving her 5 points. Lady, on the other hand, suffered her 5th loss, and her path to advancing to the final tournament is closed
[Lady C's Story]Finally, a singles match against Utami Hayashishita. For two years now, no, even longer. There are things I've wanted to say for over two years now, but now that I've met her in person, I don't know what to say. For this 5★STAR, I've only thought about beating Utami Hayashishita, but this is the result. Despite this result, I'm really glad that I was able to have a singles match with Utami in the main event at this tournament in Sapporo. There have been a lot of unpleasant and difficult things, but I think they were necessary for today, and thanks to them, I've been able to get this far. But this isn't the end, and not as senior and junior in the unit, but as fellow Stardom members, I will fight her from now on and definitely surpass her. And, well, 5★STAR... I can't advance any further, but I'm going to crush Seira Mei!
[Hayashishita Utami's story]Lady, how was your single against the person you least wanted to see? At the end, I asked you, "Have you changed at all?" and you nodded, but I wanted you to shout out, "Yes, I have changed!" If Lady says she has changed, then she has. That being said, we are no longer in the same unit or anything, so we will go our separate ways and do our best. Tomorrow is one of the two remaining matches. I've only just become friends with Ito Maki and don't know anything about her yet, so to everyone watching this, I'd love to hear any information you have about Ito Maki! And I want to beat Ito Maki and the remaining Mei-chan and advance to the finals!
