Back-to-Back Wins Launch Rina & Konami into Goddesses of Stardom Tag League Lead

By: Noah Leatherland

The Goddesses of Stardom Tag League travelled through Matsuyama and Kochi for a double header of tournament action on the 14th and 15th. Coming out the other side with a pair of block wins, Rina and Konami launched themselves up the Blue Goddesses standings.

Rina and Konami had a delayed start to their tournament, not beginning their campaign until the third day of tag league action. Even then, a draw in their opening bout got them off to a slow start. But, in this week’s double header, they made up a lot of ground on the rest of the Blue Goddesses pack.

First, they earned a main event victory over FWC in Matsuyama after Rina connected with a Pink Devil on Koguma. Then, in Kochi, the pair scored a win over their H.A.T.E. allies Natsuko Tora and Ruaka. With a jackknife hold on Ruaka clutching the pinfall, Rina and Konami collected 4 points, and continue an undefeated streak in the tournament. Their points total now sits at 7, tying them at the top of Blue Goddesses with FWC.

Over in Red Goddesses, the team of Sakurara have maintained their lead at the top of the block. A win over Neo Genesis’ Mei Seira and Ema Maishima gave them another 2 points, coming off Kurara hitting a Falcon Arrow on Maishima. At the moment, their lead is slim, just 1 point ahead of Trouble Friends. With 6 events left in the Goddesses of Stardom Tag League, there is still plenty to play for.

The Goddesses of Stardom Tag League continues on November 18th in Korakuen Hall.
