The "Enthusiastic Champion" is taking on an unexpected double-header. World of Stardom Champion Suzu Suzuki made a surprise appearance in a six-person tag team match as a replacement for Natsuko Tora, who had to withdraw due to illness. She went on a rampage calling herself "Suzu Tora."
In the third match, Sorei Ami, Lady C, and Yagami Ranna were scheduled to face Tora, Konami, and Inaba Azusa, but due to Tora's absence, the replacement was to be announced at the time of the match
Emerging from the entrance gate was Suzuki, who was also scheduled to compete in the sixth match. Grabbing the microphone amidst the roaring crowd, she unilaterally declared her leadership, saying, "My beloved Natsuko is in trouble, right? Natsuko loves me too, so I'm sure she wants this. So today, as Tora Suzu, I am the leader of HATE. So you all listen to me and follow me!"
Tora and Natsuko had a bloody, life-or-death battle in the World Championship match in Yokohama on September 12th. Since then, the Red Champion has claimed to have mutual feelings for Natsuko, and it seems he couldn't stand by and watch her in danger
However, the hastily assembled trio couldn't work together. Konami and Azusa just couldn't get along, and there was even a moment when both Konami and Suzuki were hit with magnificent chops. Still, Suzuki tried to hit Yagami with a diving body press in the style of the original Tora, but it was dodged and he ended up hurting himself.
Perhaps this was enough to make her lose interest, because Konami's kick, of all things, hit his own teammate Suzuki. Tora Suzu's efforts were all in vain.
In the final stages, Future of Stardom Champion Yagami and Azusa, who is aiming for that belt, clashed fiercely. In the end, Azusa pinned Yagami directly for the three count with her signature move, "Inaba Azusa's Big Sister's Overcoming." The red champion stirred up the match and delivered a powerful blow to the Future Champion
Suzuki will also participate in the sixth match, an eight-person tag team match, where she will face off against the next challenger, Starlight Kid, in a preliminary showdown. The red champion seems a little too enthusiastic, and her momentum shows no signs of slowing down
Konami:"Our leader, Tora Natsuko, is out of the ring, and Azusa has a preliminary match coming up, but... some weird guy barged in and said something like 'HATE's leader?' But even with someone like that interfering, Azusa managed to win this preliminary match, and I'm really glad about that."
Azusa Inaba:"This is probably the final preliminary match. I didn't feel like I was going to lose today, or in the main event. I feel like that belt is going to HATE."
Suzu Suzuki:"Hey everyone! I'm Tora Suzu!! You guys saw it, right? You saw Natsuko challenge for this World title in Yokohama, right? Natsuko said she 'likes' me! So you guys should be grateful that I rushed to Natsuko's aid today when she was in trouble! I'm the leader of HATE today! How do you usually wrap things up at HATE events?"
Azusa Inaba: "I don't usually talk that much."
Konami: "Don't ever come in here again!!"
