Utami Hayashishita: "I got the pinfall victory over Rina, the 5★STAR GP 2026 champion! I think this is a big accomplishment since returning to Stardom. I'll be having a singles match against Rina in Utsunomiya, Tochigi. I'm grateful to be able to have a singles match against the winner of this year's 5★STAR, and of course, if I win, I'll get to claim the title of champion. I hope you'll all come and enjoy the match!"
Rinami:"Yesterday, I picked a fight with Hayashishita Utami like that, and today... or rather, after winning the 5★STAR, my first loss was to Hayashishita Utami. Well, as the one who picked a fight with her like that yesterday, it's incredibly frustrating, and frankly, embarrassing! It's embarrassing that I lost to you! But, what you said in the ring. You want me to bet on what I challenge next? Fine! I'll do it! Are you going to use me? Or am I going to use you as a stepping stone? On the 18th in Utsunomiya, Tochigi, I'll make you, everyone watching, and everyone else understand the answer!"
