1. 3 Way Match: Akito defeated Antonio Honda and Saki Akai when Akito submitted Honda with the Figure 4 Leg Lock (7:32).
2. Daisuke Sasaki, MJ Paul & KANON defeated Yuji Hino, Soma Takao & Yuya Koroku when Paul pinned Koroku with the Death Valley Bomb (13:01).
3. Jun Akiyama & Yusuke Okada defeated Chris Brookes & Yuki Ishida when Okada pinned Ishida with the Sudden Death (11:01).
4. Nagano Specialty Special 6-Man Tag Match ~ DRAGONGATE Rules: Yasushi Kanda, Yuki “Sexy” Iino & Danshoku “Dandy” Dieno defeated HARASHIMA, Toru Owashi & Kazuki Hirata when Iino pinned Hirata with a Cradle (15:56).
5. The 37KAMIINA Vs Eruption!: Yuki Ueno & Toi Kojima defeated Yukio Sakaguchi & Hideki Okatani when Ueno pinned Okatani with the WR (12:40).
6. Special Tag Match: Kazusada Higuchi & Naomi Yoshimura defeated MAO & Shunma Katsumata when Higuchi pinned Katsumata with the Brain Claw Slam (21:40).

Kazusada Higuchi & Naomi Yoshimura are repeating their claims that there is a new wind blowing in DDT. They want to prove it by winning the KO-D Tag Team Titles from MAO & Asuka but know it won’t be easy. MAO wants everyone to know that a match that would have main evented DNA shows years ago is now headlining DDT events. He and Shunma Katsumata have their own championship aspirations coming up with MAO defending the KO-D Tag Titles and Shunma Katsumata challenging for the KO-D 6-Man Tag Team Titles on the same show. Yuki Ueno & Toi Kojima share that goal because they want to raise the heat in DDT.

Yasushi Kanda got dragged into doing Pheromones shenanigans. He refused for most of the match but gave in at the end and positioned himself in the corner with his bare backside sticking out. But as soon as he did that Yuki Iino pinned Kazuki Hirata and Pheromones exited the ring celebrating, leaving Kanda hanging. DISASTER BOX all shamed Kanda afterwards, telling him he can’t possibly go back to Kobe after doing that. Kanda said if he can’t go back then he will take responsibility. Masaaki Mochizuki later found out about it on Twitter and wasn’t happy to see Kanda was wearing a M3K shirt.

Yusuke Okada is threatening to take the DDT Universal Title from Masahiro Takanashi on 24th July and take the championship in a different direction.

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “TOKYO PRINCESS CUP” Results

July 18, 2022

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “TOKYO PRINCESS CUP”, 18/07/2022
Tokyo Ryogoku KFC Hall
251 Fans

1. Maki Itoh, Yuki Kamifuku & Mahiro Kiryu defeated Rika Tatsumi, Miu Watanabe & Haruna Neko when Itoh submitted Neko with the Itoh Punish (12:26).
2. 3 Way Match: Nao Kakuta defeated Shoko Nakajima and Arisu Endo when Kakuta pinned Endo with the Shiden Kai (10:25).
3. Yuka Sakazaki, Mizuki, Suzume & Moka Miyamoto defeated Hyper Misao, Yuki Aino, Pom Harajuku & Kaya Toribami when Suzume pinned Toribami with the Ring A Bell (12:52).
4. Tokyo Princess Cup – Round 2: Miyu Yamashita defeated Raku with the Skull Kick (9:23).
5. Tokyo Princess Cup – Round 2: Hikari Noa defeated Yuki Arai with the Blizzard Suplex (10:44).

Day 3 of the Tokyo Princess Cup was the final show of the tripleheader in Ryogoku KFC Hall and also the beginning of Round 2. Only two tournament bouts took place today but were still two of the more anticipated matches on the bracket. In the main event Hikari Noa cut short Yuki Arai’s hopes of going on a blaze through the tournament. A rope break saved Noa from getting pinned with the Finally. She blocked a follow up and rocked Arai with her own Super Kick before pinning her with the Blizzard Suplex. Noa said she was able to win because she desired it more than Arai. She still found Arai to be a scary opponent because she is currently one of the Princess Tag Team Champions. Noa will now face Yuka Sakazaki in the Quarter Final. She respects her so much and promises to do her best to win. Arai is upset not to move up as far as she wanted in the Princess Cup. She said she wants to win the Princess Cup next year.

Two rounds down and Miyu Yamashita is still in the running. She had to go against an unusual battle plan against her to do it. Raku brought a pillow to the ring and took a nap while Yamashita made her entrance. When the match began, a confused Yamashita bent over to see what Raku was doing and got rolled up for a nearfall. Raku continued to use the pillow to distract her opponent and almost beat her again this time with the Hurricane Turn. But it was lights out for Raku instead when Yamashita landed the Skull Kick. Her next opponent is Nao Kakuta in the Quarter Final. She remembers beating her in the first round last year and feels like she has gotten stronger since then. She just needs to stay focused and not let anything distract her. Raku said every time she has a singles match against Yamashita it starts a new turning point in her life because they happen so rarely.

Hyper Misao announced that she and all of the other wrestlers already eliminated from the Princess Cup decided to join forces and launch the second season of ToJo Rangers! It was noticed by Pom Harajuku that not everyone eliminated was in this match but her concern was ignored. Every member of the team was given new Ranger names based on their colours. Misao was Hero Green, Yuki Aino was Passion Red, Pom Harajuku was Harajuku Blue and Kaya Toribami was Persona Black. Their heroic poses kept on becoming distractions to themselves and they lost the match anyway.
