"The determined young girl" Rian left a definite mark. She faced Sakura Aya in an official Blue Stars A match. Both had suffered six consecutive losses without a win up to that point, making this a match between two players who had already been eliminated
Spurred on by the "Rian" chants, Rian anticipated Sakura's kick and countered with a stomping attack. She didn't back down an inch in the elbow exchange either, and continued her persistent stomping attacks to neutralize Sakura's left leg
There were moments when she faced danger from a triangle choke and a diving knee attack, but she refused to give her opponent a decisive opportunity. After about 10 minutes, she regained control of the pace by applying a body-scissors sleeper hold, and then unleashed a diving body attack. She followed up with a stunner, a move inherited from her mentor, Maki Ito
He unleashed two consecutive net-launching atomic bombs, followed by a stunner and a flying stunner. Finally, he secured a hard-fought three-count with his finishing move, the Hanaguruma
After the match, Sakura touched the NEW BLOOD Tag Team Championship belts (her partner being Sayaka Kurei) and made some kind of appeal. There's no doubt that she was indicating her intention to challenge for the titles
In any case, Rian, who secured her first league victory at the very last moment, finished her season with a record of 1 win and 6 losses, accumulating 2 points. Sakura, on the other hand, finished all her official matches with a record of 2 wins and 5 losses, accumulating 4 points
[Rian's Story]
I won my last league match against Sakura Aya! I've fought her dozens of times, both in singles and tag team matches, and I've lost every single time, so I really wanted to win today. And I finally managed to win! My 5★STAR summer is over, but there's still something I haven't done. That's the NEW BLOOD Tag Team Championship! I'm going to win the NEW BLOOD Tag Team Championship. Just you wait!
[Sakura Aya's Story]
She's a sweet potato from Aomori. I've always thought of Rian that way. Well, she's grown from a teenager to a 20-year-old, and she's gotten cuter and cuter. She's growing into a threat that's intimidating me. Today was our fourth singles match, and I never expected it. I lost for the first time. I'm incredibly frustrated, but after Rian won, she seemed interested in the NEW BLOOD tag team belts, which makes me really happy, although it's complicated. But who will she bring along? Right now, she's not affiliated with any company. It's not official, you know. So who will she bring along? The other person has been with the company for over three years, so it could be Ito Maki. Well, that would be a question of whether it's NEW BLOOD, so I wonder what will happen. Today, I truly lost. But I will definitely defend these belts!
