RED STARS-B Official Match

The battle for first place between two teams with 8 points ended in a draw. In the Red Stars B official match, "The muscular gorilla who's always in top form" Iida Saya clashed with "Deathmatch Amazon" Yamashita Rina

A fierce hand-to-hand combat unfolded from the very beginning. Both fighters endured each other's chops, and then both did squats to cope with the pain

Moreover, at Yamashita's urging, the duel moved outside the ring, where they continued their chop battle on chairs. They then moved to various locations—the entrance ramp, the aisles, the audience seats, and behind the banners—exchanging chops one after another. It had become a test of endurance…

The battle of wills continued. When Iida delivered a superplex, Yamashita immediately got back up and retaliated with a brainbuster. Then they engaged in an elbow exchange

Neither side gave an inch in their lariat exchanges, and with less than three minutes remaining, Iida finally landed the Rocket

Yamashita, on the other hand, retaliated with a German suplex followed by a lariat and a diving body press, but he couldn't create a decisive scoring opportunity

With less than a minute remaining, the back-and-forth battle continued, and the fight, which saw over 200 chops exchanged, ended in a 15-minute time limit draw

Both teams now have 9 points and remain at the top of the table. Iida has one match remaining, while Yamashita has finished all of his matches

[Saya Iida's Story]
I never thought I'd be fighting Rina Yamashita again here in Hokkaido, and it even ended in a draw. That might have been an impossible result for the old me, but I'm different now. 5★STAR is definitely close to advancing to the tournament. This means that winning 5★STAR is the only option. 5★STAR has one match left, but I definitely want to advance to the tournament and win. And there's someone I want to fight. There's a reason why I have to win. I'll show you all that. Along with these muscles.

[Rina Yamashita's Story]
Anyway, today marks the end of my Red Stars B matches in 5★STAR. It ended in a draw. But there's nothing I can do about it now, it's a draw. More than anything, the match against Iida was so much fun. I want to do it again. This was my first time participating in 5★STAR, and I feel like I've found yet another wrestler I like. I have a feeling that future Stardom appearances will be even more fun. I'll take hundreds of chops and take all the moves and stand up. Even though it ended in a draw. Iida, let's do it again in the northern lands.
