>[Stardom] Natsuko Tora harshly criticizes world champion Maika... and warns that "if she loses, she'll be replaced as leader of Oedo Tai"
>Natsuko Tora (33), leader of the villainous Oedo Tai unit of the women's professional wrestling group Stardom, has harshly criticized world champion Maika, whom she will be challenging at the Sapporo tournament (Chateau Laise Gateau Kingdom Sapporo) on the 28th.
>As she prepares to challenge for the title for the first time since October last year, she boasts, "I want to maintain Stardom's position as the strongest in women's professional wrestling, and I want to become the number one heel in the industry. That's why Maika this time is just a stepping stone for me."
>In April, Oedo Tai expelled Starlight Kid and Tekla joined. In June, they expelled everyone except Saya Kamitani from Queen's Quest (QQ), and they were always at the center of attention. Tora said with a fearless smile, "Expelling Kid was the first chapter. I took the red belt and the story of the first half of the year was completed. That means Oedo Tai will definitely be at the center of the second half of the year. I've got a few bombs planned for the future."
>Because they have become the core unit of the group, the lack of attention paid to the top champion is particularly noticeable. "Of all the champions to date, Maika has shown no signs of development and is the most unspectacular. I think her performance before winning the belt moved many people's hearts. But since winning it, she has not been able to exceed those expectations."
