The format of today’s show was built around a 5 Vs 5 series of singles matches randomly determined by lottery. On one side was the “1998 Class” of Tokyo Joshi Pro, all featuring wrestlers born around the year 1998. The other team consisted of Shoko Nakajima and the four women entering the No. 1 Contender’s match for the Princess Of Princess Title at “CYBERFIGHT FESTIVAL 2022”. It was almost a clean sweep for the veteran team. Only Miu Watanabe was unable to win her match, instead fighting Suzume to a 10 minute draw in the main event.

Nakajima against Yuki Arai was the spotlight match of the series. Although Arai lost she understood she got valuable ring time against the champion. She knows she can work hard with her friends in the 1998 Class to get stronger and someday beat her seniors. Nakajima thinks Arai’s mindset coming out of the match should be “My training is paying off.”

The TJPW debut of Rhio saw the English wrestler defeat Yuki Aino with a Modified Neck Screw she calls the Dreaded End. After winning her first match here, Rhio is already calling out Maki Itoh for a shot at the International Princess Title. Hours later in America, Itoh successfully defended the title against Mia Yim at a Prestige Wrestling show so Rhio has to wait for her response.

A new CyberFight project called Yume Pro Wrestling -dream on the ring- will begin on 3rd June. Four untrained women with backgrounds in the entertainment industry will compete in a weekly Youtube show to become pro wrestlers. The four contestants were introduced at the start of the show. They are Wakana Uehara, Ema, Himari Manaka and Risako.

The hometown boy Yuki Ishida put up the fight of his life in the main event. He was able to kick out of the Swivel Torture Rack Bomb causing Tetsuya Endo to give him the Burning Star Press in order to win. Jun Akiyama praised him and also the Kumamoto fans for being amazing because their support pushed Ishida to keep fighting. He said if he can perform as well as he did today in other places then DDT’s future will be bright. Ishida himself said he wasn’t satisfied and promised to do his best so he will win the next time he is in front of his home fans.

Yuji Hino had words of encouragement for his opponent and tag partner Yukio Naya after their match. At 27 years old Naya still has a long way to go but Hino wants the two of them to continue getting stronger.

In the rematch from “JUDGEMENT 2022” a defeat was avenged. Maya Yukihi got her win back from Saki Akai by making her submit to the Whiteout. The two bowed on their hands and knees to each other after the match and Yukihi said she wants to continue teaming with Akai because they enhance each other both as opponents and teammates. Akai later called Yukihi a treasure of the entire wrestling world and one of the aces of this generation. She was honored to do the rematch but does not know what the results will be if they fight each other the 3rd time, 10th time or 100th time!

Akito replaced the injured Chris Brookes in Match #3.
