For DDT’s visit to Osaka this weekend they decided to book a series of East Vs West matches based on the different hometowns of every wrestler involved on the card. It was an idea they started last summer and wanted to try again. It led to a strange bedfellows style Elimination Tag Match in the main event. Daisuke Sasaki and Hideki Okatani were on opposite teams but didn’t want to let geography determine who they should team with so Sasaki first tried to take a fall for Okatani and then he purposely threw his own partner HARASHIMA out of the ring to eliminate him. Okatani also betrayed his own team by knocking over KANON with the Claymore Kick so Sasaki could pin him. Kazusada Higuchi got fed up with their behavior and Clotheslined both of them out of the ring for a double elimination. He then got one over on Yuki Ueno by Shoulder Blocking him from the apron to the floor but he got eliminated soon after by Kazuma Sumi kicking him out of the ring. That left Sumi and Antonio Honda as the final two and Sumi pinned Honda with the School Boy to win the match for the West Army. He also got to take Honda’s Right To Challenge Arm Cover in the process. Sumi was so excited over the result he asked if he could become the leader of the West Army. Ueno decided he could have it. Sumi then announced his dream as leader is to have a homecoming show in Tsu City, Mie!

Not all of the matches were West Vs East. Each side provided their own matches on the undercard. The East Army came up with a stipulation where Super Sasadango Machine, MAO and KIMIHIRO all hid biscuit tins around the venue and the first person to find the opponent’s tin and drop it into the ring three times would become the winner. At first the match just resembled a treasure hunt around the room but when it came down to the final points, Sasadango and MAO started wrestling each other over the last tin. KIMIHIRO also got involved in the action when Sasadango lost his temper and tried to fight him. He then wanted to win the match for himself so he turned on MAO by spraying him in the face. While this was happening, Kazuma Sumi showed up to give MAO a Low Blow while Yuki Ueno climbed the top rope and threw some tins into the ring. Ueno then did a Frog Splash onto everyone and was declared the winner. KIMIHIRO then revealed he and Ueno betrayed MAO because they are actually from Kagoshima in the far west of Japan! The rest of the East Army rushed down to the ring and chased them away while Sasadango told them they must avenge MAO.

The West Army match caught the most attention in the lead because it was Jun Akiyama taking on Miyu Yamashita from Tokyo Joshi Pro! Today just so happened to be the 12th Anniversary of Yamashita’s pro debut too. She threw everything she had at Akiyama including the Attitude Adjustment and the Skull Kick but couldn’t put him away with any of those moves. Akiyama hit back with his coveted Knee Strikes as well as the Exploder Suplex but Yamashita also refused to be beaten like that. Akiyama had to pull down his own kneepad and hit Yamashita with a Raw Knee Strike to finally defeat her. He offered to shake her hand after the match but Yamashita brushed it off. She said backstage that she never imagined she would face Akiyama one on one and is incredibly frustrated that she couldn’t win.

Now all four RTC Arm Covers are activated and currently in play. Soma Takao won a 4 Way Match by pinning his ROMANCE DAWN teammate Shota to earn the prize. Shota had given Akito the Frog Splash and was about to win when Takao rolled him up with La Magistral Cradle to steal the win. Takao reminded everyone that at one point last year he held two RTC prizes at the same time but lost both of them. His plan this year is to hold even more all at once and auction them all off at high prices!

Rukiya made his return to the ring after a lengthy injury. He lost his match but that was to be expected. He told everyone he is starting again from scratch and will do his best to catch up with everyone.

7. 12th Tokyo Princess Cup – Semi Final: Miu Watanabe defeated Shoko Nakajima with the Tear Drop (24:40).

Miu Watanabe has one eye set on the Tokyo Princess Cup final. The right one to be precise because Shoko Nakajima accidentally smashed in the left eye during their match. Nakajima went for the Diving Senton from the top turnbuckle but Watanabe blocked it with her knees. But during the impact Nakajima’s elbow hit Watanabe in the eye and left her with a shiner for the rest of the bout. The block also gave her a dead leg for a bit but she was able to walk it off at ringside while Nakajima was also recovering from the block. The match itself put a lot of focus on the ringwork that the two wrestlers have developed a lot of good chemistry over for the last couple of months. Nakajima avoided the Tear Drop to give Watanabe the Northern Lights Suplex but she only got a two count out of it. Then when she went to the top rope, Watanabe followed up and grabbed Nakajima into the Canadian Backbreaker position. Nakajima tried to wriggle out of it but Watanabe ended up giving her an Avalanche Power Slam instead. She then got the three count by giving her the Tear Drop.

After the match Watanabe talked about how often she has wrestled Nakajima in the last few months alone. She is probably the person she sees more than anyone else at the dojo. If it wasn’t for Nakajima, Watanabe wouldn’t feel the need to work so hard so she is happy they get to wrestle each other and improve each other. With just the final left to go, Watanabe doesn’t care who she will face because she is a princess and will never lose! Her opponent is going to be Arisu Endo, who went into the ring to say some things herself. This is her chance to become the best in Tokyo Joshi Pro so she is going to win and become the woman of the summer! Watanabe praised Endo for how cool she’s looked in the earlier rounds and she looks forward to meeting her in the final on 23rd August.

Endo’s road to the final put her in front of Yuki Arai who was in the semi final round for the third year in a row. She tried using the Scorpion Death Lock to win and even dragged Endo back to the centre of the ring. She then switched to the Full Nelson Buster but Endo escaped and gave her the Waterwheel Drop instead. It seemed the damage dealt to Endo’s back would be her undoing as she couldn’t find the strength to use her finisher. But she propped herself back up to Super Kick Arai before she could do the Finally and pulled off the Ju no Okite for the victory. Endo said every time she’s fought Arai it was in crucial moments of her career so when they were drawn together for the semi final, that was Arai’s good luck shining through. But with this being Endo’s first time reaching the final four, she pulled it through and will now go all the way to the final! She thinks the Princess Cup trophy suits her too even though she doesn’t wear pink much. It also now seems clear that Arai treats Endo as her rival just as much as vice versa. Arai still has her sights set on taking two more steps in the Princess Cup. First step is reaching the final and the second is winning it. She wants to do both next year.

Suzume had fallen ill the day before the show so she was pulled from the card, reshuffling a few matches as a result. One of the changes was Mifu Ashida getting to team with Hyper Misao for the first time. Misao wanted to talk about it on the microphone but she got distracted by Pom Harajuku grabbing Ashida’s pom-poms from the corner and started to play with them. Misao took them off her but decided to try cheering with them herself. Harajuku and her team then all attacked her to start the match. Ashida got her pom-poms back so Harajuku then tried to join in her cheers by replacing the pom-poms with her own shoes.

The other change due to Suzume’s absence was the inclusion of a 3 Way Match with Ren Konatsu taking part in such a stipulation for the first time ever. Mahiro Kiryu explained to her how tough 3 Way Matches are so they should team up against HIMAWARI to make it easier for themselves. That didn’t last long and soon HIMAWARI convinced Konatsu that the two of them should team up against Kiryu! It forced Kiryu to apologize over being so arrogant about 3 Way Matches. She later got revenge by tying HIMAWARI’s hair to the ropes while HIMAWARI had Konatsu in the Half Crab Hold. HIMAWARI was stuck there and couldn’t stop Kiryu from making Konatsu submit to a Crab Hold in the middle of the ring. When HIMAWARI was untied from the ropes she chased after Kiryu to the back.
