They have faced off in the ring across various promotions for years.\u00a0 Syuri even teamed with Konami&#8217;s trainer Kana (WWE&#8217;s Asuka) on a number of occasions to take on Konami. As the story goes, when Asuka was signed by WWE and left her trainee to fend for herself it was Syuri who aided Konami until Konami joined Stardom.\u00a0 Years after Konami joined Stardom, Syuri followed her in the door as a member of <a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/prowrestling\/2020\/01\/19\/stardom-9th-anniversary-syuri-sareee\/\" target=\"_self\">Donna Del Mondo<\/a> and immediately found herself in conflict with Konami&#8217;s faction Tokyo Cyber Squad.\u00a0 Syuri and Konami have been on opposite sides of the ring ever since, climaxing in their UWF rules war at Tokyo Super Wars.<\/p>\n<p>With the recent announcement that Konami will be <a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/prowrestling\/2021\/12\/04\/konami-hiatus-stardom\/\" target=\"_self\">taking a hiatus<\/a> from pro wrestling it is only fitting that they finally team up before Konami steps away.\u00a0 Their opponents, Maika and Sayaka, requested the match at a recent show as both wanted to wrestle Konami before her hiatus and Konami would only accept if it was a tag match.<\/p>\n<p>It will be interesting to see how this match goes, the combined powers of Syuri and Konami should be too much for their opponents but one can never be sure.<\/p>\n<h3>The Black Peach Momo Watanabe<\/h3>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">December 25 Korakuen Hall!<br \/>\u25c6Queen&#39;s Quest vs Oedo Tai<br \/>Black Peach has arrived!
