Unexpected changes can sometimes lead to new opportunities opening up. The main event of the show was supposed to be Shoko Nakajima Vs Mizuki but a fever took Mizuki off the show and out of the Tokyo Princess Cup. Her PCR test has since come back negative but she is still feeling ill and unable to wrestle. However that match getting scratched meant Suzume and Pom Harajuku was bumped up to the main event so it was up to them to step up to the challenge.

Harajuku teased Suzume early in the match by attacking her with a butterfly net outside the ring. Suzume tried fighting back and was cut off with the Pom de Justice over the second rope onto the ring apron. Suzume made another comeback by hitting the Mikazuki Meteor Shower (Diving Cross Body) but Harajuku stopped her momentum again. This time Harajuku climbed the ropes until Suzume dropped her to the canvas with a Facebuster. She then quickly hit the Ring A Bell to get the win and advance in the tournament. After the match Suzume declared this will be the summer when she surpasses Rika Tatsumi! And guess what? Those two will face each other in the Quarter Final!

Nakajima was given an automatic bye into the Quarter Final because of Mizuki’s withdrawal from the tournament. She takes on Miu Watanabe in the next round. To give everyone a preview, today’s replacement for the cancelled match was Miraclians Vs Daydream! All four women involved are in the Quarter Finals so nobody wanted to give up a fall. Nakajima fired the big warning shot by pinning Watanabe with the Northern Lights Suplex. She said afterwards that Mizuki is probably more disappointed over their match being cancelled than she is. Nakajima thinks she has to beat Mizuki if she wants to call herself the best wrestler in Tokyo Joshi Pro. Watanabe’s goal of surpassing her seniors this summer has already taken a blow. She wants to do her best to beat Nakajima and hopes the other wrestlers from her generation or younger will work just as hard.

Yesterday was Maki Itoh’s birthday so Raku sang “Happy Birthday” to her at the start of their match. It was actually a trap so Raku could send Itoh to sleep with al lullaby. Itoh got payback thanks to some help from Yuki Kamifuku. They gave Raku a double team DDT & Headscissor combo then Itoh submitted her with the Itoh Deluxe. It’s a tag team combo that might come in handy for MakiYuki Happy in the future.

Moka Miyamoto celebrated the 2nd Anniversary of her debut match by beating Arisu Endo in the opener.

The complete Tokyo Princess Cup Quarter Finals on 31st July are Miu Watanabe Vs Shoko Nakajima, Nao Kakuta Vs Miyu Yamashita, Yuka Sakazaki Vs Hikari Noa and Rika Tatsumi Vs Suzume.
