Nakano pinned Kodaka as well resulting in him challenging Kodaka for the Union MAX Title on 28th February.

Promises were made by Naruki Doi and KANON that their DDT Universal Match would be just between them with no bystanders around the ring, let alone any interference. Obviously that turned out to be a lie. KANON did walk out to the ring on his own and fought by himself for a while. But once Doi had everything going his way MJ Paul burst out of hiding to interfere in the match. Luckily for Doi, Toru Owashi made his way to the ring to counter Paul and return the match back to a level playing field. In a fair fight KANON did his best but two Bakatare Sliding Kicks back to back left Doi retaining his championship.

After the match Doi said he could tell KANON was being unusually emotional and realised he really did try to win the title off of him. Doi hates guys like KANON and Daisuke Sasaki but he will always want to fight them too so they should have another match sometime. At this point in his victory speech, Doi noticed that nobody was heading down to the ring to challenge him for a title match. So Doi decided to call out Tetsuya Endo! It had to be explained to him that Endo wasn’t at the show today because of a fever so the show ended with that potential match hanging in the air. Endo did tweet out later he would like to do the match.

Yukio Naya had a face off with HARASHIMA after their 6-Man Tag Match. Backstage Naya said he knows HARASHIMA’s strikes are strong but he was the winner today. He is confident he will be the winner against HARASHIMA at Korakuen Hall too on 26th February. HARASHIMA admitted he can feel the momentum and strength coming from his opponent is higher than ever before. It only makes him look forward to the match even more!

The Master Of Environment Match had two green ropes stretching across the ring with one attached to the middle ring ropes and the other attached to the bottom ropes. The turnbuckle pads were also removed. Akito came up with these moves to test Jun Akiyama’s mobility as well as give the two wrestlers more ways to leverage pinfalls and submission holds. The limited space caused Akiyama and Akito to get tangled in the green ropes in multiple ways. Yukinori Matsui also had trouble moving around and tripped out of the way at one point. Akito used that as an opportunity to add a third green rope. When Matsui noticed the extra rope and went to remove it, Akito crotched Akiyama and cradled him for a nearfall. Akiyama then grabbed Akito in the Exploder Suplex position and began to set him up for the Wrist-Clutch version. Akito grabbed a green rope to keep himself grounded but Akiyama then rolled him over with an Inside Cradle to get the three count. Akito later blamed the green ropes for betraying him and making him lose. He’ll never fight in this kind of match ever again!

After the match Akiyama announced his who his next DDT Extreme Title challenger is going to be. He called down Kotaro Suzuki! There was a pause until Suzuki came down to the ring. Akiyama joked about him being late and having bad timing. He also pointed out that Suzuki often wrestles by different rules because of his freelance status. Wouldn’t being a champion make him even more attractive as a freelancer? If he can beat Akiyama in a hard hitting, no nonsense match then Akiyama will let Suzuki stay here in DDT! Suzuki accepted the challenge and the match will take place at DDT’s 26th Anniversary show on 21st March.

The arrival of Kip Sabian and Penelope Ford to DDT is already paying off for the couple. Sabian’s first match here had him spearheading an international trio with Chris Brookes & Hagane Shinno. Ford wasn’t afraid to get involved either because she gave Kazusada Higuchi a Hurricanrana and Yuki Ishida a Missile Dropkick whenever the ref wasn’t looking. She even played into the result, giving Sabian aid to set up his Deathly Hallows finisher to Ishida. Backstage Shinno was full of praise for Sabian, telling the media there are so many amazing wrestlers like him in AEW. According to Shinno, maybe we will see more of them in DDT soon? Sabian talked about how when he saw the Kenny Omega Vs Kota Ibushi match at Budokan Hall eleven years ago, he knew from that day on he wanted to come to DDT. Today he finally made it and he got to team up with Brookes again for the first time in years. Now he has his eyes set on next week’s appearance in Korakuen Hall.

That’s not all though. Ford got even more attention backstage by becoming the new Iron Man Heavymetalweight Champion! Sabian & Ford spotted Saki Akai walking backstage and hatched a plan. Sabian distracted Akai by introducing himself to her and starting a conversation. Ford then gave Akai a School Boy, got the three count and the couple ran off with the belt!

The last block matches in the D GENERATIONS CUP have now set up the final on 26th February. The A Block had two unbeaten wrestlers left, Hideki Okatani and Yuya Koroku. A Running Elbow Butt from Koroku turned out to be the difference maker sending him right into the final. Over in the B Block Takeshi Masada had to fight from behind against Toi Kojima to win the match. Due to the head to head result that means Masada just barely makes it to the final, keeping his Hollywood dream only one more step away from finally becoming a reality.

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “TJPW CITY CIRCUIT WINTER ~NAGOYA PERFORMANCE~” Results

February 18, 2023

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “TJPW CITY CIRCUIT WINTER ~NAGOYA PERFORMANCE~”, 18/02/2023
Nagoya International Conference Center Event Hall
604 Fans – Super No Vacancy

1. Yuki Aino & HIMAWARI defeated Hikari Noa & Wakana Uehara when HIMAWARI submitted Uehara with a Half Crab Hold (9:02).
2. 3 Way Match: Nao Kakuta defeated Haruna Neko and Pom Harajuku when Kakuta pinned Neko after the Pom de Justice from Harajuku (4:55).
3. Rika Tatsumi, Suzume & Arisu Endo defeated Shoko Nakajima, Hyper Misao & Kaya Toribami when Endo submitted Toribami with the Camel Clutch (12:34).
4. Yuka Sakazaki, Mizuki & Raku defeated Maki Itoh, Yuki Kamifuku & Mahiro Kiryu when Mizuki pinned Kiryu with the Cutie Special (11:44).
5. International Princess Title: Miu Watanabe (c) defeated Janai Kai with the Tear Drop (10:25).
*V3 for Miu Watanabe.
6. Miyu Yamashita & Yuki Arai defeated Aja Kong & Moka Miyamoto when Arai pinned Miyamoto with the Finally (10:31).

Today’s show in Nagoya had a heaping amount of SKE48 involved. Not only did Yuki Arai feature in the main event but she was also part of a mini concert that was held in the ring during the show. Arai was put in the headline match because she was facing against her “GRAND PRINCESS ’23” opponent Aja Kong in a tag match with Miyu Yamashita and Moka Miyamoto also involved. Arai even got the win in the end by pinning Miyamoto. However she admitted to the audience afterwards she was in a frustrated mood because Kong is still there standing. She wants to show everyone from Yamashita to the fans that she can beat Kong on her own next month.

Yesterday Janai Kai said she had counters at the ready to deal with Miu Watanabe and they were all built around heavy kicks. It kept Watanabe at bay for a while until she was able to catch Kai’s leg and pull her into the Giant Swing. Watanabe’s power also got her out of a Dragon Sleeper. Kai’s plan fell apart when she missed the Tornado Kick and left her open for the Tear Drop, giving the champion her third successful title defence. After the match Rika Tatsumi gave the title belt to Watanabe and praised her for shining brightly ever since she won the title. This version of Miu Watanabe is somebody Tatsumi wants to fight so she asked her for a title shot! Watanabe accepted because she one day wants to surpass her tag team partner and said they should do the match at “GRAND PRINCESS ’23” on 18th March.

Remember when I said I wasn’t sure if there was a team name for Shoko Nakajima, Hyper Misao & Kaya Toribami? Turns out there is one. The trio are called Kyoraku Torimei when they are together!

HIMAWARI kicked off the wrestling portion of the show by winning her match for the first time ever. She avenged her submission defeat to Wakana Uehara from last week by making her tap out in a tag match today. HIMAWARI credited the win to Yuki Aino for being there but Aino said she didn’t do anything. HIMAWARI insisted it was because of Aino because her presence in the corner gave her reassurance. Aino has now been part of HIMAWARI’s Tokyo Joshi Pro debut and HIMAWARI’s first win. That means she has been a part of every important moment in the rookie’s career!

The SKE48 mini concert included a surprise announcement of the idol unit sending a “second assassin” to TJPW soon (the first being Arai). Shiori Aoki will be debuting for the promotion on 15th April… as a referee. Aoki was just as surprised as everyone else in the room by the announcement but she performed a three count on the canvas to endorse the idea.

There was the usual opening musical performance from The Up Up Girls with the 4th member Shino also involved. There was big news afterwards when it was announced that Shino’s pro wrestling debut is now going to happen soon! She will have her first match on 6th March teaming with Raku to take on the other two unit members Watanabe & Hikari Noa. Shino thanked everyone for supporting her because she was scared that she was being overtaken by the other trainees. She will do her best to repay her fans for their support.
