The enthusiastic champion maintains her undefeated record. In the second round of the "5★STAR GP 2026" final tournament, world champion Suzu Suzuki, who topped Blue Stars A, faces off against Ruanka, who is riding a wave of momentum after defeating Wonder champion Hanan in the first round
This was his sworn enemy, the one who had forced a double count-out in an official match at the August 15 Kyoto tournament, preventing him from winning the championship undefeated. He immediately launched a sliding attack, taking the fight outside the ring. The enraged champion pressed his advantage
Ryuka tries to fight back with a crossface and body attacks, but he knocks her down with a heavy elbow
Despite interference from HATE's corner team, he kicked out of the second body press at the count of two. After a tequila shot, he struck his opponent with the black box he had stolen, and finally secured the three-count with a German suplex hold
He has advanced through the official tournament with 6 wins and 1 draw, bringing his total 5★STAR wins this year to seven. He is scheduled to face Starlight Kid in the semi-finals on the 23rd (at Ryogoku Kokugikan in Tokyo). Becoming the first ever World Champion to win the 5★STAR tournament is no longer just a dream
[Suzuki Suzu's Story]
The Energetic Champion advances to the quarterfinals! Well, it was an expected result. I was looking forward to seeing how Ruanka would play in the palm of my hand, but... hold on a second. Aren't you guys chanting "Ruanka" a bit too much? She's a heel, after all. Normally, you'd expect boos. There weren't any "Champion" chants. Come on, start chanting "Energetic". Well, if things continue like this, our World of Stardom Energetic Champion will win the tournament, so I'd like to face someone a bit more impressive. But it's frustrating that I fell for Ruanka's "Ah!" damn it.
[Ryuuka's story]
Ryuuka's summer is over. The red champion was too strong. Of course. But somehow, I felt like I grew this summer. Good job! Ryuuka is amazing. I can't do it anymore. I'm exhausted so I'm going to rest.
