The Tokyo Princess Cup has always been Miyu Yamashita’s weak point and this year was no different. Sometimes it was shock upsets against weaker opponents and other times it’s been first round eliminations caused by wrestlers just as strong as her. Today was the latter. Mizuki outwrestled Yamashita by putting her in a Facelock. Yamashita rolled out of it but Mizuki caught her in a Casadora and followed with a Double Stomp. From there Mizuki hit the Cutie Special to get the win. Mizuki was in tears while she gave her victory speech and admitted she didn’t even think she would be talking on the microphone after the main event today. She respects Yamashita for all the times she watched her headline a Korakuen Hall show. Today’s win now gives Mizuki enough confidence to believe that she will win this year’s Princess Cup!
A disappointed Mina Shirakawa after her match said over and over that she wanted to fly today just like Yuka Sakazaki. Shirakawa attacked Sakazaki before the match began in a move she admits is inspired by Hayabusa’s ambush on Jushin Liger from the Super J Cup. Although she lost the match, Shirakawa wants to get strong enough so she can wrestle abroad like Sakazaki just did.
Yuna Manase is still feeling motivated after her “Pochari Joshi” match in Ganbare☆Wrestling back in April. She wants to win for the fans that cheered for her back then and also to prove she belongs in Tokyo Joshi Pro. With this she was able to stay in her match after taking Yuki Aino’s Side Suplex and won with the Suzuki Dynamic.
That Raku is a sneaky one, I tell you. When her match with Maki Itoh was about to begin, Raku was crying with nerves while she shook Itoh’s hand and telling herself to pull things together. Then when Itoh was returning to her corner, Raku jumped her with a flying kick! Itoh stopped her with a DDT and the Itoh Special to go through. Raku explained that the lyrics to Itoh’s music was what moved her to tears and the audience’s cheers grew her desire to win.
The Tokyo Princess Cup 2nd Round matches are Natsumi Maki Vs Maki Itoh, Rika Tatsumi Vs Yuna Manase, Shoko Nakajima Vs Mizuki and Miu Watanabe Vs Yuka Sakazaki.
NEO Biishiki-gun were put off by how excitable Himawari Unagi was by their moves in the ring. But never mind about her, it’s Mizuki that they’re interested in. Misao said that when she and Sakisama return to Shin-Kiba 1st RING next week they will win the Tokyo Princess Tag Team Titles.
Rika Tatsumi expected Pom Harajuku and Mahiro Kiryu to team up against her so she asked for the 3 Way Match to be turned into a Handicap Match. However Harajuku and Kiryu assured her that they wanted the ordinary 3 Way Match as planned. Harajuku hit the Laforet Harajuku to Kiryu but Tatsumi then cradled her to steal the pin.
