TOKYO JOSHI PRO “WRESTLE PRINCESS VII”, 03/10/2026

7. EVE International Title: Miyu Yamashita (c) Vs Arisu Endo
8. Princess Tag Team Titles: Miu Watanabe & Rika Tatsumi (c) Vs Yuki Aino & Haru Kazashiro
9. Princess Of Princess Title: Yuki Arai (c) Vs Suzume
We’re getting an International Championship match on the show after all, just not the International Princess Title. Instead it is the EVE International Title that will be on the line when Miyu Yamashita and Arisu Endo have their rematch from last year’s Tokyo Princess Cup. Just because Endo won last time doesn’t mean she believes she has now made it up to equal footing with Yamashita. Winning a championship off her sure would confirm it though.
The challenger for Shoko Nakajima has been found. It’s the return of Zara Zakher to Tokyo Joshi Pro! Her last appearance in TJPW was at the 2025 Las Vegas show during WrestleMania Weekend. Since then she had been signed to a WWE ID deal and according to TJPW that project was a reason why Zakher hasn’t come back to Japan until now. In the meantime she still had faint connections to TJPW in America thanks to Kitsune booking her in matches against Yamashita and Kamifuku. Now for her first match back in Japan she gets to challenge Nakajima for the SETUP All Asia Women’s Title.
Something I completely forgot when Go Nagai got involved with the marketing for this show is the man is responsible for creating the character of Jushin Liger in the first place! So since Nagai is part of the show, let’s have Liger get involved too. He’s been selected to be the referee for a match between Mizuki and Hyper Misao. Both wrestlers think they will benefit from Liger’s officiating, Mizuki because she claims to be a good girl and Misao because she claims to be a super hero.
The newest rookie in TJPW is Chieri Sakimori, the first person to debut after coming through TJPW’s wrestling camps that are held several times a month at their dojo. Sakimori is from Fukuoka and stands 154cm tall. She discovered TJPW from their collab show with OCHA NORMA last December and has a rhythmic gymnastics background from her elementary and junior high school years. She also currently runs a salon, working there as an eyelash artist.
There is expected to be one or two more matches added to the card before it gets finalized.

1. Special Single Match: Jun Kasai Vs Hinata Kasai
2. Special Tag Match: To-y & Kaisei Takechi Vs KANON & Kumadori
3. Dramatic Dream Match: Zack Sabre Jr. Vs Shinya Aoki
The day after Shinya Aoki’s fight in RIZIN happened, DDT wanted to capitalize on the attention he was getting by announcing his special opponent at Sumo Hall this November. It’s going to be Zack Sabre Jr.! They were able to face each other in a tag match back in May but this will be a first time singles match between the two.
