H.A.T.E. (ヘイト, heito) (abbreviated from: Harass, Abuse, Terrorize, Eradicate) is a villainous professional wrestling stable mainly performing in the Japanese professional wrestling promotion World Wonder Ring Stardom. Led by Natsuko Tora, the stable also consists of Momo Watanabe, Saya Kamitani, Konami, Ruaka, Rina, Fukigen Death and Azusa Inaba.[1][2]
History
Formation (July 2024–present)
On the second night of the Stardom Sapporo World Rendezvous from July 28, 2024, Natsuko Tora defeated Maika to win the World of Stardom Championship with help from Saya Kamitani who attacked Maika, giving Tora momentum to pick up the victory. Kamitani declared Queen's Quest's dissolution, joining forces with Tora and the rest of the time's Oedo Tai members: Momo Watanabe, Thekla, Konami, Rina and Ruaka. Tora then declared the dissolution of Oedo Tai, as the assembled forces would instead be going by the newly created unit, H.A.T.E.[3] After winning the world title at Stardom Sapporo World Rendezvous, Natsuko Tora gave up her spot in the Stardom 5 Star Grand Prix 2024 and granted it to Ruaka. The stable was also represented by Konami, Momo Watanabe, Saya Kamitani and Thekla in the competition. Kamitani made it to the finals, but was defeated by Maika on 5 star Grand Prix night 12. Tora also lost the World of Stardom Championship to Tam Nakano the same night, ending her reign at 34 days. Konami and Watanabe along with Medusa Complex(Charli Evans and Millie McKenzie) defeated Alex Windsor, Kanji, Emersyn Jane and Skye Smitson at Eve 128: Halloween Forever. Devil Princess(Rina and Azusa Inaba) lost the New Blood tag team titles to Rice or Bread on December 26th. H.A.T.E Supreme(Watanabe and Thekla) lost the Goddesses of Stardom Championship to Wing Gori at Dream Queendom 2024. However, the faction later regained the World of Stardom Championship at the same event, when Saya Kamitani defeated Nakano. On Stardom All Star Grand Queendom 2025, Kamitani retained her championship against Nakano in a Career vs Career match, Rina faced Yomiko Hotta in a losing effort, and Thekla lost a match against Sayaka Kurara. Due to the stipulation of the match, if Thekla had won, she would have got a match against Taro Okada, but since Kurara won, Thekla was forced to join Cosmic Angels. Thekla refused and was fired instead after attacking Okada. [4]
