>[Stardom] Maika reclaims the world title... she gulps down wine and provokes Tam Nakano, the "smack-of-a-drunk champion"
>Maika, the winner of the women's professional wrestling event Stardom's 5STAR GP, is on a quest to reclaim the world championship.
>He will challenge Nakano Tam, who won the championship match at the Chofu tournament on July 31st and took the title on the same day, at the Edion Arena Osaka 1st Stadium tournament on the 14th. At the signing ceremony held in Tokyo on the 10th, Nakano suggested a toast with wine to celebrate his league victory and Nakano's coronation as the title champion.
>Maika responded obediently, but when Nakano started trembling after just one sip of wine, she seemed annoyed and said, "What kind of face are you making while drinking this wine, you brought it yourself? You're a drunkard."
>Nakano first won the title in April last year, but injured her left knee in her fourth match to defend the title. She was forced to sit out for four months and gave up the title in the past. What's more, she lost every match at 5STAR this time. Maika, who has long had doubts about Nakano's title, challenged her, saying, "You're always crying and making excuses like it's a curse. If you have this red belt (World title), I think it will make the whole of Stardom dark."
>The reason she is so aggressive is because she is confident. This year, as the world champion, she successfully defended the title six times until she lost it to Natsuko Tora at the Sapporo tournament on July 28th. She also achieved the first ever perfect victory in the league.
