It’s a very light month this month. So much so that I kept by the news of Konosuke Takshita losing a championship in New Japan to this article just so I had something a little more to write about. It’s probably going to be even more quiet until Tokyo Joshi Pro goes on its Texas tour again. Unless Takeshita enters the Continental Classic again, there’s really just Yuki Kamifuku travelling around Asia one more time to keep an eye on.
1. Queen Of Asia Title – 3 Way Match: Ms. Selina (c) defeated Mizuki and Crystal (?:??). *V1 for Ms. Selina.
Mizuki made a new friend during her trip to Singapore but wasn’t able to come home with the Queen Of Asia Title. That new friend wasn’t the champion Ms. Selina or the other challenger Crystal. It was Lio Rush! Probably helps that she didn’t understand his disturbed ranting half of the time. On the bright side, Rush sees Mizuki as someone to be protected so better to have him on your side than not I suppose.

6. NJPW World TV Title: Shun Skywalker defeated KONOSUKE TAKESHITA (c) with the Skyfall (10:12). *KONOSUKE TAKESHITA fails in V5. Shun Skywalker becomes the 11th NJPW WORLD TV Champion!
It’s been a nice but the time has come for Takeshita to have his last championship taken away from him. At the end of the G1 tournament, Shun Skywalker entered NJPW at Takeshita’s expense and set forth the path to an NJPW World TV Title match between the two. They’ve had one or two meetings before in America when their overseas excursions crossed over a couple years back but this was the first time a large audience would get to see the two wrestle each other one on one. Skywalker threw powder into Takeshita’s face and had the likes of Ren Narita & Dick Togo at ringside to interfere for him. Takeshita couldn’t fight off the numbers provided by the House Of Torture and lost to Skywalker’s new wonky looking finishing move, the Skyfall (aka “We have a Destino at home”). Skywalker bragged backstage that he dropped the former G1 winner Takeshita from the heavens in under 15 minutes and said New Japan shouldn’t be happy that one of their titles was taken by an outsider so easily. He has since teased vacating the belt several times because he’s already achieved his goal regarding it.
1. Yuki Kamifuku & Alexis Lee Vs Ms. Selina & Kylie Devyn
The Southeast Asia wrestling scene means a lot for Yuki Kamifuku. She’s done a lot for the women’s side of the industry in places like Singapore, Thailand and Vietnam. SPW and their Queen Of Asia Title did a lot to level up Kamifuku as a wrestler without her having to fight and grind in TJPW. She comes to SPW one more time to team up with Alexis Lee again, this time to face the current Queen Of Asian Champ Ms. Selinga and Russian wrestler Kylie Devyn.

We can probably add VertVixen to the lineup. She’s definitely helping Tokyo Story USA with promoting the show in Texas. They were at the Tokyo X convention in Houston near the end of the month and got the big name voice actress Masako Nozawa to give the tour some attention!

Cancelled Appearances
TOKYO JOSHI PRO “LOVE & PEACE”, 31/10/2026 Malaysia
TOKYO JOSHI PRO “LOVE & PEACE”, 01/11/2026 Malaysia
TJPW’s association with the “LOVE & PEACE” idol festival in Malaysia was supposed to continue again this year with two wrestling shows being held over there. The entire event has been cancelled over a situation with the organization and the site it was meant to be held in. Unfortunately that called off the entire Malaysian tour for TJPW and the wrestlers planned for those shows will remain in Japan and go back to their normal schedule.
