A good chunk of the DDT roster got hit with covid related problems right before tomorrow’s show in Chiba. Yuya Koroku tested positive and Hideki Okatani was a close contact to him so both of them are off the show. Also Konosuke Takeshita is currently ill and waiting for the results of his PCR test. If he does test positive then Shunma Katsumata will be at risk as his possible close contact. So both of them are off tomorrow’s show as a precaution. A lot of the undercard has been changed around because of this.

There were already several wrestlers missing from the show for covid related reasons today. One more had to pull out on short notice when Yuka Sakazaki was identified as a close contact. Hikari Noa moved up to take her place in the main event and the 17 remaining members of the Tokyo Joshi Pro roster went on with the show.

All six women in the main event fought until the time expired, with Miu Watanabe and Yuki Arai against each other being the focus of the final minutes. Mizuki was disappointed over the match result being a tie but said it is times like these when everybody who supports each other should be united. She wants to make TJPW a warm and welcoming place that she loves. The match also motivated her after seeing how much stronger Noa and Arai have become. Backstage Yuki Aino warned that Arai will turn into a dirty fighter if she keeps teaming with the likes of Mizuki & Noa. She at least had fun teaming up with Watanabe and Suzume which doesn’t happen often.

Shoko Nakajima gave Marika Kobashi a pat on the head after their match. They both think this was likely their last singles match against each other with Kobashi leaving in April. Nakajima also felt the match was a good warm up for her upcoming Princess Of Princess Title match. Kobashi feels special for being a singles opponent for both Nakajima and Miyu Yamashita before their big title match. But she doesn’t want her remaining matches to just be about getting stronger. She wants some results to be part of her final memories here.

Noa moving out of Match #4 turned into a 3 Way with the remaining wrestlers. Yuki Kamifuku tried to trick Kaya Toribami into siding with her because it’s her birthday soon. She then got into an argument with Nao Kakuta over it and both of them pushed Toribami away when she tried to step in, causing all three to fight each other.

Hyper Misao decided that to beat a catgirl you must become one. She explained she’s been raising cats for a year so her neko power has increased. So for today only she is Neko Misao, the Cat Of Northern Kanto! Haruna Neko wasn’t impressed and she pulled the cat ears and tail off of her opponent while they wrestled.
