With just over a month to go until the Goddesses of Stardom Tag League gets underway, Utami Hayashishita has started looking for a partner to team up with. Now on the STARDOM Silver Week tour, Hayashishita has had her eye on a couple of potential candidates.
Hayashishita has had a successful start to the STARDOM Silver Week tour, first picking up a tag team win with Maki Itoh in Tottori. Hayashishita mentioned the tag league in her post-match comments alongside Itoh, but the prospect of teaming beyond Silver Week did not seem to be in the cards with Saya Kamitani still on Hayashishita’s mind.
Itoh:
What’s going on with you? Why have you been arguing like that for so long?
Hayashishita:
Well, it’s not really an argument—it’s not even at that level. It’s just that I’m being a bit of a burden on myself.
Itoh:
So you’re in a hopeless romance, then.
Hayashishita:
Something like that. It’s about time I moved on—I keep saying I’ll move on, but I haven’t actually done it at all. The tag league’s starting soon, so I need to look ahead. Right?
Itoh:
But here’s the thing. Unless you sort out that woman from your past, I don’t want to team up with you. I don’t want to work with someone who’s that high-maintenance.
On the second leg of the tour, Hayashishita won a three-way bout against Fuwa-chan and Anne Kanaya in Fukuyama. Following that three-way, Hayashishita once again expressed her desire to find a partner for the upcoming tag league:
I won, but no matter how many times I do it, I still find three-way matches really difficult. However, the fact that I feel this way means I still have plenty of room for growth, so I, Utami Hayashishita, intend to keep moving forward and give it my all. And then there’s the Tag League, which is about to start. I don’t have a partner, and I’m not part of any unit either. I’ve had a few matches against Fuwa-chan, who I faced today, and she’s unaffiliated. As for Anne, we’re close as we’re both from islands—Amami and Okinawa—but she’s got Cosmic Angels on her side. I wonder who I should team up with. I’m going to give it my all to find the right partner.
