Rina, the winner of "5★STAR GP 2026," shows no signs of slowing down. In an eight-person tag team match, she teamed up with Tora Natsuko, Kamitani Saya, and Ruika to clash with the team of Ito Maki, Furusawa Kian, Rian, and Koguma
The match started in an unexpected way. When Kamiya refused to do the bear pose, the four members of HATE were forced to become bear bait. However, when Tora and Ruanka crushed Furusawa with a combined body press, Tora sprayed water at his face, and they quickly seized control of the match
Rina also took a DDT from Ito, a running body attack from Rian, and a combined stunner from the opposing team, but HATE's evil teamwork prevented them from following up. They delivered a diving double knee drop to Rian. With Kamitani's help, they blocked Hanaguruma and secured the three count with Pink♥Devil
After a summer at the top, which belt will Rina set her sights on next? At the Utsunomiya tournament on October 18th, Hina will challenge Wonder Champion Hanan. At the Ota Ward tournament on October 29th, Starlight Kid will challenge World Champion Suzuki Suzu
As the title race unfolds, Rinami has yet to officially declare her candidacy. All eyes are on the 5★STAR champion's next move
Koguma:"I let Ito tentatively join the Respect Squad, but what did you think of the dancing?"
Maki Ito:"I was looking ahead, so I didn't realize it... But if you want to come, please do. I'll always welcome you, since we're both from Fukuoka. I'll give you an application form later."
Rian:"We're just a few tens of thousands of views away from 1 million on TikTok. I think we'll reach 1 million tonight or tomorrow... And tomorrow is a handicap match! Sakura Aya vs. Meni☆Mani."
Maki Ito:"We can definitely win with that! We can make the Ito Respect Group official and welcome Koguma-san who passed the audition...that would be great!!"
