Day 2 of the Tokyo Princess Cup avoids the upsets of the opening show. Rika Tatsumi had to survive Brain Chop after Brain Chop from Raku to advance into Round 2. Raku put up a good fight by using the Front Neck Lock and Hurricane Turn but to no avail. Once Tatsumi trapped her in the Dragon Sleeper it was all over. Despite losing, Raku said the match makes her want to work harder because wrestling is fun. Tatsumi praised Raku after the match for her recent growth in the ring. She isn’t looking forward to the next round on 29th July because her opponent there is a rather strong one.

Any hopes Suzume had of repeating last year’s strong run through the brackets were dashed aside by Shoko Nakajima. Maybe it’s because Nakajima is the kind of wrestler to match Suzume with doing high risk dives in and out of the ring. Suzume found ways to avoid the 619 and Northern Lights Suplex but a determined Nakajima eventually found her target with those moves. She had to use the Locomotion version of her finisher to put Suzume away. Nakajima said she had to go all out to win her 1st Round match. She is motivated to win the Princess Cup for the second time in order to face Mizuki for the Princess Of Princess Title. She heard that Mizuki was going to nominate her as the next challenger if she had won the tournament. Suzume said she did everything she could do today. It’s just that Nakajima is too big of an opponent for her to compete against right now. But someday Suzume is certain she will be seen as Nakajima’s rival.
