The Tokyo Joshi Pro Christmas show had a couple of presents in store for everyone. Four singles matches were determined by a lottery. In the main event Yuka Sakazaki and Mina Shirakawa faced off. Shirakawa had lost the Best Body Japan Women’s Title earlier this week so an opportunity to wrestle the Princess Of Princess Champion would be a great way to bounce back from that. However Sakazaki was able to beat her by countering the Implant DDT into the Merry-Go-Round. The Magical Magical Girl Splash afterwards finished the match. Sakazaki gave Shirakawa credit for getting stronger. She told everyone to go out and enjoy what’s left of this year.
It wasn’t a win but Hikari Noa can keep her head held high for going to a time limit draw with Mizuki. She wasn’t even at much of a risk of losing when the time expired. Mizuki went for the Diving Foot Stomp and Noa rolled out of the way, avoiding the move. So you can’t say she was saved by the bell.
Yuna Manase, Pom Harajuku and Mahiro Kiryu took part in a lottery to determine who would team with Sakisama in Match #3. Kiryu pulled out the piece of paper with the drawing of a rose on it, which meant she got the spot. Unfortunately nobody told Sakisama. She asked why did she have to team with “such a poor smelly child.” She agreed to team with Kiryu and ordered her not to mess up. Whether she did or not, you can be the judge. Sakisama went to do the Big Boot into the corner, Harajuku dodged it, Kiryu took the boot and Harajuku rolled her up for the three count. Sakisama blamed Kiryu for the loss but Kiryu stood up to her! She lost today but she didn’t lose to Sakisama and someday… she will definitely beat her! Surprisingly, Sakisama was somewhat impressed by Kiryu’s attitude. She told Kiryu to get stronger and to be patient for her to return from Paris.
The show featured a few important returns outside of the matches. Hyper Misao reappeared after the 3 Way Match to surprise Shoko Nakajima. Misao returned because she thinks there are not enough heroes in Tokyo Joshi. Her goal for 2020 is to make everyone in TJPW a superhero! She said if she beats Nakajima on 4th January then Nakajima will have to rename herself Hyper Shoko. This idea annoys Nakajima because she likes being a kaiju and she doesn’t want to lose the “Nakajima” part of her name either. Maybe if she beats Misao then Misao will have to be a kaiju and change her name? Nakajima was about to suggest one using Misao’s real name but before she could finish, Misao called for her music to play and left the ring.
Natsumi Maki appeared at the start of the show to announce her return match on 4th January. Maki suffered a knee injury in her first International Princess Title defence against Yuna Manase in September. She successfully got it surgically repaired and had been training for her comeback ever since.
Last but not least, another trainee announced she will debut on the Korakuen Hall show. Shiori was first introduced to the public back in April as part of the same class as Mirai Maiumi and Suzume. She reappeared at a fan club event in August before showing up again here today. She also said from now on her ring name is Sena Shiori.
