BLUE STARS-A Official Match

HANAKO, a native of Kyoto, crushed a formidable opponent from AEW in the US. In a Blue Stars A official match, she faced Artist Champion Julia Hart

From the start, he used his 181cm height to his advantage, taking control of the pace with throws that utilized the height difference. He caught Hart as he walked along the ropes and immediately locked in a reverse Boston crab hold

He then caught him in mid-air and delivered a powerful powerbomb. Finally, he finished him off with a spectacular JP Coaster, securing a well-deserved 3-count victory

With this win, she has a record of 4 wins and 2 losses, giving her 8 points and putting her in second place, tied with Heart. If she can defeat Ryukana in the final official match at the Hamamatsu tournament on the 16th, she has a good chance of advancing to the final tournament (which starts on the 18th at Korakuen Hall)

Holding the microphone, HANAKO boasted, "I beat Julia Hart!" She continued, "And I'm back! Julia Hart, it was so much fun fighting you. It was undoubtedly me who stopped Julia Hart's momentum. I still have a chance to break through, so I'll beat Ryuka tomorrow and come back again. You guys look forward to it," she promised her local fans

With today's win, our chances of advancing through Blue Stars A have increased, haven't they? I'm definitely going to win this summer, and Stardom will definitely take back the belt that Julia Hart is holding. Don't think this is the end. I'll chase you all the way to America!

This wasn't supposed to happen. But it's okay. Because in the end, Hart always wins. There's always tomorrow. I can still win this tournament, right?
