Rina makes history in STARDOM

Thus, Rina becomes the fifteenth winner of the tournament, and the youngest woman to achieve it at just 19 years old. As the winner, the H.A.T.E. member has the opportunity to challenge for one of the promotion's main championships. However, she has not yet made a decision in this regard.

"I've won the 5 STAR! And besides, I'm the youngest person in history to achieve victory! Finally, I've done it. There may be those who say it was still too early, but for me, it was finally. For a long time, the opportunity to reach the top has eluded me, and now I believe I have achieved the greatest and most valuable thing there is: the 5 STAR. If anyone has any objections, from now on I will make everyone quiet with what I am going to demonstrate," Rina said after the match.

"I also said it on the microphone: I was risking everything to win this 5 STAR. And now that I have achieved it, thinking 'what do I want to achieve next?' or 'who do I want to face now?'... To begin with, I think that way of thinking is a bit strange. In the 5 STAR, everyone participates, champions and top fighters. Isn't this the most valuable thing one can win? Therefore, from now on, I believe I can say whatever I want. There are still many things I can achieve, so I want to conquer them one by one," she added.

"My opponent in the final was Kid. We entered the profession practically at the same time and are from the seventh generation. A while ago, when we were together in Oedo Tai, when no one even noticed me, Kid was the only one who mentioned my name among the wrestlers to watch for in the future. It may seem strange that I say this now, because I don't particularly like her anymore, but that Kid was my rival in the final has a special meaning for me. I'm glad it was her. To all those who right now think they are the best in STARDOM and have settled thinking they are at the top: this is reality. I, at 19 years old, have won. That's it. From now on, I'm going to keep showing you more and more interesting things, so stay tuned," she concluded.
