>A huge shock is running through the women's professional wrestling company Stardom. Former world champion Tam Nakano was defeated in a loser retirement match against world champion Saya Kamitani (28) at the Korakuen Hall event on the 3rd. At a press conference on the 4th, the day after, it was announced that Nakano would be leaving the company as of March 3rd, and that she would continue to compete as a freelancer until the loser retirement match, which was scheduled to take place at the Yokohama Arena event on April 27th. What are Nakano's thoughts now as she hits rock bottom and is in the dark?
>At the press conference, Nakano bravely announced, "I'm Tam Nakano, a freelancer. I lost in the loser's elimination match yesterday, and I have decided to leave Stardom." However, afterwards, she cried and choked up as she bowed her head and said, "Stardom is my everything. If Stardom is taken from me, all that remains is the fact that I am a professional wrestler. So I will fight for the sake of my existence as a professional wrestler. Everyone, please believe in me and watch until the end."
>Nakano, who remained with her head bowed at the side of the venue even after the press conference, said, "The tears haven't stopped even after I got home yesterday...I feel miserable...This is the most uncool thing I've ever done in my career. I've made the fans who have supported me up until now sad and worried them...I feel so sorry and I don't know what to say."
>Even after a night has passed, it seems she still has not fully come to terms with the fact that she is leaving the group, saying, "I was the one who asked to leave, but I feel like my reason for living has been taken away, and I feel like I've been making everyone go around in circles...It's the biggest nightmare of my life. I didn't really understand what Kamitani was saying, but I wonder if that's what she meant."
