In the Red Stars B official match, Rinami defeated Tomoka Inaba, remaining in contention for the championship
She was initially overwhelmed by Tomoka's fierce attack, but turned the tables with two consecutive diving double knee drops. She then put the pressure on with an immediate Hydrangea
Despite taking various kicks from Tomoka, she unleashed a big boot. Finally, she finished the match with Pink♥Devil
With one match remaining, they have 3 wins, 1 draw, and 2 losses, giving them 7 points. Tomoka, on the other hand, finished her schedule with 3 wins and 4 losses, giving her 6 points and eliminating her from the tournament
[Rinami's comments]
Day 2 in Sapporo. My second singles match against Inaba Tomoka, following last year. This year, I made sure to get the pinfall. Having said that, I also fought Inaba Tomoka when I held the Artist belt, and back then, her kindness and things like that came out in the ring. I really don't need or want that kind of thing in the ring, and I had a very strong impression that she was half-hearted. This year's Inaba Tomoka, the Inaba Tomoka I fought today, wasn't like that at all. She was strong, she was aiming for the win, her moves were brutal, and it was fun to fight her, so I think I might be willing to fight her again if I win the tournament. Having said that, if I lose now, it's all over. Next up is my last match, against AZM in Hamamatsu. I've never beaten AZM before, and last year I lost to her twice in a row in the final match. If I don't win here, I'll be disappointed in myself for what I've been doing this past year, and if I lose like that, I can't even talk about winning the tournament, so I want to make sure I get the pinfall against AZM in Hamamatsu. The rest is all that I said on the mic. Right now there are a lot of people complaining about the number of draws and ties, and how the cheering is, but you guys are so noisy. 5★STAR, just enjoy it, got it?
