6. KING OF DRUNK 2026 Opening Round: Chris Brookes Vs HARASHIMA Vs Kazuma Sumi Vs KANON Vs Yuki Iino Vs Rukiya

Beer Garden not only brings back the King Of Drunk tournament for another year but there is also a Nautilus reunion happening on the show too! Yuki Ueno & Naomi Yoshimura will be properly teaming up for the first time since 2020. There’s been a multi-man match or two when they’ve been on the same side but an honest to God Nautilus match you’ll have to go back five and a half year or so to find the last one.

They grow up so fast. Yuni is becoming a college student but is still too young to legally drink so it’s a bit mean of DDT to have this match happen at a Beer Garden show. At least Junta Miyawaki is allowed to take part in the fun for his first Beer Garden show. Masami Inahata too, I think.

BASARA “BASARA 305 ~OSAKA HARUNO-JIN SUMINOE~”, 12/04/2026
Osaka Suminoe Maikon Hall

1. Takeru Inoue Vs Daichi Kazato

4. Ryota Nakatsu Vs Isami Kodaka
5. Iron Fist Tag Team Titles: Takato Nakano & Masato Kamino (c) Vs SAGAT & Lil’ Kraken

It was only back in January when SAGAT & Lil’ Kraken challenged for the Iron Fist Tag Team Titles. They lost the match and had a crisis of confidence but quickly patched themselves up. When Aijin Tag won the titles, the Super Family pair jumped at the chance to ask for another shot. They’re being rewarded for being so bold but it may just be that Takato Nakano & Masato Kamino see them as an easy first defence.

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “TJPW LIVE IN LAS VEGAS 2026”, 16/04/2026
Pearl Theater At Palms Casino Resort, Las Vegas, Nevada, USA

1. International Princess Title: Suzume (c) Vs Sakura Hattori
2. Princess Tag Team Titles: Jessie McKay & Cassie Lee (c) Vs Shoko Nakajima & Hyper Misao
3. Princess Of Princess Title: Yuki Arai (c) Vs J-Rod

All three new champions coming out of Sumo Hall will be making their first defences at the Las Vegas show. It was already announced that J-Rod would get the Princess Title shot but instead of getting a rematch with Miu Watanabe, it will now be a first time singles match against Yuki Arai. J-Rod sent a message saying pro wrestling is not a fairy tale and she is ready to become the first American Princess Of Princess Champion on her own home soil. There is a chance that Arai and J-Rod will get a preliminary tag match against each other at one of the Vancouver shows but Tetsuya Koda has not made his decision yet.

Kyoraku Kyomei will be The IInspiration’s first challengers for the Princess Tag Team Titles. Both Shoko Nakajima & Hyper Misao like to gamble big whenever they visit Vegas. They also took it upon themselves to get the brand new tag title belts back in TJPW’s hands. Unfortunately Misao cannot confirm if there will be Dramatic Hypami bike in Las Vegas after the one in Texas fell apart. Jessie McKay & Cassie Lee showed concern for the roster after hearing the wrestlers had a troublesome trip back home to Japan from the Texas tour. However, they claim they were able to win the titles on just three hours sleep so how will Kyoraku Kyomei fare against them when they have the full eight hours in America?

Before Suzume can make it to Golden Week, she must survive fighting the ninja Sakura Hattori under the bright lights of Vegas! Hattori handed Suzume a scroll at Sumo Hall to tell her she wanted a title shot. Another scroll has since been sent telling Suzume to be prepared because Hattori is targeting her and can take the IP Title away in an instant! As we get towards the match, Hattori is sprinting through a singles match winning streak that’s been going on ever since her gimmick switch.

GANBARE☆PRO “HATAAGE 13TH ANNIVERSARY – MAD MAX 2026”, 29/04/2026
Tokyo Korakuen Hall

1. PSYCHO & Yuya Susumu Vs Shota Kawakami & Sentaro Motoshima
2. Moeka Haruhi Vs Ram Kaichow
3. YuuRI Vs Utami Hayashihita
4. Ken Ohka 25th Anniversary Match: Ken Ohka & Guts Ishijima Vs Masaaki Mochizuki & Ryota Nakatsu
5. Minoru Suzuki & Shuichiro Katsumura Vs Hideki “Shrek” Sekine & Akira Shoji
6. Spirit Of Ganbare World Tag Team Titles: Yumehito Imanari & Shinichiro Tominaga (c) Vs Takuya Wada & Tyson Maeguchi
7. Spirit Of Ganbare World Openweight Title: Mizuki Watase (c) Vs Keisuke Ishii

All of a sudden Ganbare☆Pro has a Korakuen Hall main event rematch that is three years in the making. Back in Mizuki Watase’s first reign as Spirit Of Ganbare World Champion he defeated Keisuke Ishii that was highly praised by those who took the time to watch it. Ishii won a No. 1 Contender tournament to set up the rematch and Watase wants it to be an even better fight than the first one!

Both Takuya Wada & Tyson Maeguchi have held the Spirit Of Ganbare Tag Team Titles in the past. In fact, Maeguchi was one of the first champions and Wada was one of the second champions. Together they might be the team that can beat Touchable for the belts. That would mean a lot to Maeguchi in particular because the physical championship belts did not exist when he was supposed to hold them.

I get how Minoru Suzuki & Shuichiro Katsumura against Hideki “Shrek” Sekine & Akira Shoji is meant to be the shooter match but I feel like this is going to be a coin flip over if it will be good or not.

All of these comedy matches Moeka Haruhi has been doing lately has lead her to this. She now has to face the Triple Six queen herself Ram Kaichow!

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “YES! WONDERLAND ’26”, 04/05/2026
Tokyo Korakuen Hall

1. International Princess Title: Suzume (c) Vs Winner Of 5 Way Match

Suzume is noticing that many wrestlers in TJPW have been growing stronger lately, many of whom she hasn’t defend the title against before. She thinks there will definitely be plenty of first time matchups happening during this title reign.

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “TJPW TEXAS STAMPEDE – HOUSTON” Results

March 22, 2026

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “TJPW TEXAS STAMPEDE – HOUSTON”, 22/03/2026
POST Houston, Houston, Texas, USA
415 Fans – Super No Vacancy Full House

1. Yuki Aino & Vert Vixen defeated Suzume & Shino Suzuki when Aino pinned Suzuki with the Venus DDT (10:26).
2. Sakura Hattori defeated Mifu Ashida with the Shinden Fudo Ryu Majime Ura (7:25).
3. Hyper Misao defeated Raku with the I Am A Hero (8:39).
4. Yuki Kamifuku & Wakana Uehara defeated Miyu Yamashita & Kaylia Capri when Uehara submitted Capri with the Banana Pillow (12:20).
5. Yuki Arai defeated Pom Harajuku with the Modified Brainbuster (10:04).
6. Miu Watanabe, Rika Tatsumi & Arisu Endo defeated Shoko Nakajima, Mizuki & Uta Takami when Watanabe pinned Takami with the Tear Drop (16:59).

A successful tour of Texas has now come to an end. Even though the final show was the lowest drawing one of the lot, it was also the only one to sell out. At the end of the show Miu Watanabe told the crowd it was a very happy Texas tour for Tokyo Joshi Pro and they will definitely do it again. Until then, TJPW wants Texas to pay attention to “GRAND PRINCESS ’26” on 29th March. Arisu Endo said the tour was so much fun because she could hear so many people cheering in every arena. Rika Tatsumi said the tour is so exciting that she can’t stop feeling excited.

When wrestlers travel together, it is often inevitable that one will pull a rib on the other that kind of goes out of control. Yuki Arai had no idea what was in store for her when Pom Harajuku wheeled down a gacha machine to the ring during their match. Harajuku revealed she had stolen Arai’s house key and hid it in one of the gacha capsules! Arai had to keep pulling out different capsules to find her key otherwise she wouldn’t be able to go home to Japan. She eventually got it back and pinned Harajuku with the Modified Brainbuster to get some payback.

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “TJPW TEXAS STAMPEDE – DALLAS” Results

March 21, 2026

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “TJPW TEXAS STAMPEDE – DALLAS”, 21/03/2026
College Park Center, Arlington, Texas, USA
1,481 Fans

1. Shino Suzuki defeated Mifu Ashida with the Modified Cobra Clutch (4:55).
2. Sakura Hattori defeated Uta Takami with the Shinden Fudo Ryu Majime Ura (7:57).
3. Suzume & Arisu Endo defeated Raku & Pom Harajuku when Endo pinned Harajuku with the Ju no Okite (11:32).
4. Yuki Kamifuku & Wakana Uehara defeated Yuki Aino & Vert Vixen when Kamifuku pinned Aino with the Diving Famouser (11:55).
5. 3 Way Match: Mizuki defeated Rika Tatsumi and Hyper Misao when Mizuki pinned Misao with the Diving Foot Stomp (13:50).
6. Shoko Nakajima & Yuki Arai defeated Miu Watanabe & Miyu Yamashita when Nakajima pinned Yamashita with the Diving Senton (16:48).

After a couple days off it was onto Show #3 of the Texas Stampede tour. Tokyo Joshi Pro was now visiting Arlington near Dallas and again grew a very strong attendance number. I still have my doubts over how many of these tickets were being comped or heavily discounted but TJPW being able to attract 1,400+ people each time for three seperate shows held in America within a week is an achievement no matter how it was done.

Today’s main event was the last preview match between Miu Watanabe and Yuki Arai before “GRAND PRINCESS ’26” takes place next weekend. However the final moments of the match instead focused on Miyu Yamashita and Shoko Nakajima continuing on from their singles match in Austin a few days ago. Nakajima countered the Attitude Adjustment into a Hurricanrana and then ran over to dive out of the ring onto Watanabe. Back in the ring Arai cut off Watanabe with a Big Boot and hit the Finally kick on her afterward. Nakajima then got to the top rope and hit the Diving Senton onto Yamashita to get the three count. Backstage Nakajima said she got revenge for losing to Yamashita a few days ago and since it was in a tag match, it is double the payback! She’s now ready to go fight with the Super Sentai in Sumo Hall next weekend. Arai would have liked to directly beat Watanabe today but thinks she at least now has momentum after she finally hit the Finally on her rival. Watanabe admitted to feeling humiliated from being hit with that move after being able to avoid it up until now.

A flight delay sadly prevented Jada Stone from making it to the show so her match against Rika Tatsumi was scrapped. Tatsumi was instead added to the Mizuki Vs Hyper Misao bout to make it a 3 Way Match. Misao talked to the fans in English before the match began, telling everyone that Mizuki is a devil and Tatsumi is crazy. She then told fans not to worry about them hearing that because neither of them understand English. During the match Misao would wrap up her opponents together with the detached ring apron and then crash the Hyper Dramatic Dream into them. There was also a castle of chairs built near the entrance for Misao to cycle towards but the bike fell apart before she could get there. She instead charged towards her opponents on foot and ended up being sent crashing into the castle by herself. Chaos continued with Mizuki climbing up the entrance gate to do a Diving Cross Body onto everybody standing on the entrance ramp. Mizuki then brought Misao back to the ring and hit the Diving Foot Stomp on her to win the match.

Raku & Pom Harajuku continued showing off their love for Buc-ee by wearing their one piece outfits of the mascot for their match again. They also wheeled out a gachapon machine to use against Daisy Monkey, first by pushing the machine into them and then by pulling out gacha toys to use as weapons. Daisy Monkey got their own back by stripping the Buc-ee outfits off their opponents and then putting it on themselves. Raku threw the empty gacha balls at Arisu Endo to break up the Camel Clutch she had put Harajuku in. Suzume helped Endo get rid of Raku and Endo went on to pin Harajuku with the Ju no Okite.

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “TJPW TEXAS STAMPEDE – AUSTIN DAY 2” Results

March 19, 2026

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “TJPW TEXAS STAMPEDE – AUSTIN DAY 2”, 18/03/2026
Palmer Events Center, Austin, Texas, USA
1,561 Fans

1. Yuki Arai & Mifu Ashida defeated Arisu Endo & Shino Suzuki when Arai pinned Suzuki with the Modified Brainbuster (9:26).
2. Sakura Hattori defeated Hyper Misao with a Modified Cradle (9:02).
3. Yuki Kamifuku & Wakana Uehara defeated Raku & Pom Harajuku when Kamifuku pinned Harajuku with the Famouser (8:35).
4. Rika Tatsumi defeated Yuki Aino with the White Dragon Sleeper (11:44).
5. Miyu Yamashita defeated Shoko Nakajima with the Crash Rabbit Heat (16:12).
6. Miu Watanabe & Suzume defeated Mizuki & Uta Takami when Watanabe pinned Takami with the Tear Drop (14:02).

Day 2 of the Texas Stampede tour was also the last of Tokyo Joshi Pro’s appearances at this year’s SXSW festival in Austin. Just like yesterday they drew a really good turnout although it’s currently not possible to tell how much of the crowd were ticket buyers and how many got comped in through their SXSW passes. Still, everyone working the show gathered together at the end to thank the city of Austin for hosting them over the last two days. After taking a break for a couple of days, TJPW will next move on to Dallas and Houston this weekend for the remaining dates of their tour.

While yesterday’s show had a focus around building towards “GRAND PRINCESS ’26”, today’s match lineup was more scattershot. Miu Watanabe & Suzume teamed up in the main event just over two months after they fought each other for the Princess Of Princess Title at the annual 4th January show in Korakuen Hall. Their opponents Mizuki & Uta Takami started off as a makeshift team entering the Max Heart Tournament until they went on a Cinderella run all the way to the final. It was nothing but pride on the line and the two teams still showed out. Mizuki countered the Tear Drop into the Whirling Candy then Takami dazed Watanabe with her speed to get her into the Koala Clutch. Watanabe got a rope break the first time then countered a second Koala Clutch into a Power Slam. Watanabe then used her power to fight off her opponents two against one until Suzume jumped in to give Mizuki the Ring A Bell. Watanabe then finished off Takami with the Tear Drop for the victory.

The two longest active wrestlers in the TJPW roster faced off in the semi-main event. Both Miyu Yamashita and Shoko Nakajima have been with the promotion since pretty much the beginning yet it’s been around two and a half years since they last had a singles match against each other. Neither wanted to lose and pulled out the abilities to kick out of each other’s finishers. Yamashita kicked out of the Northern Lights Suplex while Nakajima was lucky to had been standing on the ring apron when she was hit with the Skull Kick. That meant she had to be dragged away from the ropes giving her enough recovery time to kick out of the pin. However Yamashita caught Nakajima off guard with a Running Knee Strike to the back, leaving her as a sitting duck for the Crash Rabbit Heat. Backstage Yamashita said she doesn’t get to wrestle her contemporaries one on one as often as she used to because the TJPW roster keeps growing with new members. But Nakajima is an opponent who always makes Yamashita feel the need to get even stronger. Nakajima said Yamashita somehow becomes 100 times more motivated whenever she is in America, like the country gives her some sort of skills buff. They’ll be wrestling each other in a tag match on the Houston show so she will aim to get revenge for today’s loss over there.

When Rika Tatsumi found out they were selling popcorn in the venue she couldn’t help but get a bucket for herself. Thankfully some fans standing ahead of her in the queue decided to give her their bucket and she accepted the gift. She then force fed Yuki Aino the popcorn while they wrestled their match.

Both Raku & Pom Harajuku entered the ring for their match wearing Buc-ee one piece outfits. Meanwhile the referee known only to everyone as Mike tried to plug his ears with tissue to block out Harajuku’s screaming. It worked until Harajuku pulled the tissue out of his ears. Ober Eats got fed up with the other team’s antics and stripped them out of the outfits. Wakana Uehara then got the rare boos against her by throwing the costumes out of the ring. Harajuku later brought the costumes back for the hot tag, giving one to Yuki Kamifuku so she could challeng her to a Buc-ee Fight! Kamifuku joined in the fun but ruined it by poking Harajuku in the eyes before pinning her with the Famouser.

The emergence of Sakura Hattori sparked some curiosity in Hyper Misao. Before their match began, Misao avoided shaking Hattori’s hand to get on the microphone. She wanted to ask Hattori two questions. First, is she a ninja? Hattori nodded. Second, is she justice? Hattori wouldn’t answer and also slapped away a handshake so Misao determined she must be evil! Misao attacked her with such heroic actions as spraying her in the face and crashing the Hyper Dramatic Dream into her at ringside. But back in the ring Hattori dodged the Hypami Returns, tripped Misao down and then tangled her up in a llave style cradle to pin her for the three count.

Yuki Arai displayed brand new wrestling gear in the opening match. She rekindled her Kyoto Tag team with Mifu Ashida to take on the makeshift pairing of Arisu Endo & Shino Suzuki. Late in the match Arai put Suzuki in the Scorpion Death Lock but Endo broke it up with a Super Kick. Ashida got Endo with a Hook Kick before throwing her away with a German Suplex. She then helped Arai give Suzuki the Full Nelson Buster. After that, Arai used a new Spinning Brainbuster to win the match.

The show again opened up with a performance by The Up Up Girls (Pro Wrestling) along with the Megami Maids while Sayuri Namba hosted everything.

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “TJPW TEXAS STAMPEDE – AUSTIN DAY 1” Results

March 18, 2026

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “TJPW TEXAS STAMPEDE – AUSTIN DAY 1”, 17/03/2026
Palmer Events Center, Austin, Texas, USA
1,951 Fans

1. Suzume defeated Uta Takami with the Ring A Bell (6:12).
2. Sakura Hattori defeated Shino Suzuki with the Shinden Fudo Ryu Majime Ura (8:54).
3. Raku & Pom Harajuku defeated Hyper Misao & Mifu Ashida when Raku pinned Ashida with the Doctor Yellow (10:25).
4. Miyu Yamashita & Arisu Endo defeated Mizuki & Yuki Aino when Yamashita pinned Aino with the Skull Kick (13:53).
5. Jessie McKay & Cassie Lee defeated Shoko Nakajima & Wakana Uehara when McKay pinned Uehara after the IIdolizer (10:15).
6. Miu Watanabe & Rika Tatsumi defeated Yuki Kamifuku & Yuki Arai when Watanabe pinned Arai with the Tear Drop (15:08).

Last year’s Texas tour was such a smash hit for Tokyo Joshi Pro that they’ve done it again this year, this time on a bigger scale. Four shows are on the bill this time around with the first two taking place in Austin as part of the SXSW festival. The crowd at the show were a mix of ticket buyers and festival attendees which all added up to a total announced attendance of 1,951 fans for the show. How much the split is between ticket buyers and festival passes hasn’t been revealed (and probably won’t be until well after the series has ended) but it is still a great number to start with for the tour.

Day 1 of the tour provided plenty of warm up matches for “GRAND PRINCESS ’26” happening back in Japan at the end of the month. Miu Watanabe and Yuki Arai had another tag team clash against each other. Watanabe had Rika Tatsumi as her partner and the combined strength of Daydream was too much for the Double YUKI pair of Arai & Yuki Kamifuku to handle. Tatsumi’s Hip Attack broke Watanabe free from Arai’s Scorpion Death Lock, then Watanabe went on a roll by Backbreaking Kamifuku out of action before hitting her signature moves on Arai for the victory. Daydream told the fans to come back tomorrow so TJPW can spread their love even further across Texas.

Before Kamifuku went out to wrestle in the main event, she got to watch her Ober Eats tag partner Wakana Uehara face The IInspiration in a preview of their Princess Tag Team Titles match at Sumo Hall. Uehara & Shoko Nakajima did their best but weren’t able to pull off the win. Jessie McKay blocked Uehara’s attempt at the Sushi Tornado and instead gave her the Pedigree. Nakajima was then taken out with a Blue Thunder Bomb from Cassie Lee, leaving Uehara defenceless. The IInspiration then put her away with their Magic Killer style Flapjack finisher called The IIdolizer. We’ll next see them at Sumo Hall when they will challenge Ober Eats for the Princess Tag Titles.

Today is a very happy birthday for Miyu Yamashita because she received a warm welcome from the Texas crowd and also got to Skull Kick Yuki Aino’s head off. Meanwhile Mizuki was able to arm herself with another Pico Pico Hammer to replace the one that was recently stolen from her. She proved to be some trouble for Yamashita & Arisu Endo to handle. Aino tried to push her weight around with Shoulder Blocks to Yamashita but then the Skull Kick took her down and out.

Hyper Misao spoke in English to introduce herself and Mifu Ashida to the fans. However by the time she was done, Raku & Pom Harajuku decided to take a nap in the middle of the ring. Ashida tried to wake them up with her cheering but it didn’t work. It was all a trap for the other team to roll them up for nearfall. Outside the ring Misao crashed the Hyper Dramatic Dream into the other team. Harajuku would get her revenge later in the match when Raku suddenly wheeled her out in her own Tesla and used it to run Misao over! Raku then got back into the ring to pin Ashida with the Doctor Yellow.

The former Kaya Toribami has now become Sakura Hattori with today’s show being the debut of her new persona. Gone is the high flying skills of the cassowary and in its place were agility and strikes taken from ninja jujutsu. A Flying Forearm got Hattori a nearfall but Shino Suzuki fought back by putting all of her power into a Sleeper Hold and the Swinging Neckbreaker. Hattori blocked the Belly-To-Belly Suplex and kicked out of the Rolling Backward Cradle before grabbing Suzuki in her new submission finisher. It is a Kata-Gatame style Shoulder Hold called the Shinden Fudo Ryu Majime Ura.

The opener saw Suzume defeat Uta Takami without too much trouble. She had a mishap when Takami dodged the Mikazuki Meteor Shower but Suzume quickly got back control by using the Corner Dive Facecrusher to shut down her opponent’s comeback. One Ring A Bell later and Suzume had her hand raised in victory.

It was as authentic a TJPW show that the promotion and their partners Tokyo Story USA could put together. Sayuri Namba was the ring announcer and The Up Up Girls (Pro Wrestling) performed a song at the start of the show. Just like with last year’s tour, they were joined by the Megami Maids for the performance.

4. Rika Tatsumi Vs Yuki Aino
5. Miyu Yamashita Vs Shoko Nakajuma
6. Miu Watanabe & Suzume Vs Mizuki & Uta Takami

Day 2 in Austin is more aimed at throwing some big matchups together. Miyu Yamashita Vs Shoko Nakajima and Rika Tatsumi Vs Yuki Aino don’t just happen on your typical Shinjuku FACE or Ryogoku KFC Hall shows unless there is a special occasion going on.

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “TJPW TEXAS STAMPEDE – DALLAS”, 21/03/2026
College Park Center, Arlington, Texas, USA

1. Shino Suzuki Vs Mifu Ashida
2. Sakura Hattori Vs Uta Takami
3. Rika Tatsumi Vs Jada Stone
4. Mizuki Vs Hyper Misao
5. Suzume & Arisu Endo Vs Raku & Pom Harajuku
6. Yuki Kamifuku & Wakana Uehara Vs Yuki Aino & Vert Vixen
7. Miu Watanabe & Miyu Yamashita Vs Shoko Nakajima & Yuki Arai

The latter half of the tour adds some familiar names. Vert Vixen is back for the Dallas and Houston shows. There’s also the return of somebody we haven’t seen for a while. Jada Stone made several appearances in TJPW throughout 2025 but a knee injury in September cancelled her tour of Japan. That was the last we heard of her in regards to TJPW. But she’s still been wrestling around America and has appeared on some TNA tapings lately. Next she will get to step back into the TJPW ring while they are in Texas.

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “TJPW TEXAS STAMPEDE – HOUSTON”, 22/03/2026
POST Houston, Houston, Texas, USA

1. Hyper Misao Vs Raku

3. Yuki Aino & Vert Vixen Vs Suzume & Shino Suzuki
4. Yuki Arai Vs Pom Harajuku
5. Yuki Kamifuku & Wakana Uehara Vs Miyu Yamashita & Kaylia Capri
6. Miu Watanabe, Rika Tatsumi & Arisu Endo Vs Shoko Nakajima, Mizuki & Uta Takami

Kaylia Capri was a part of last year’s Texas tour. She will only be a part of the tour finale this time around. Texas is getting so much Ober Eats for the week.

March 8, 2026

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “TJPW TEXAS STAMPEDE – AUSTIN DAY 1”, 17/03/2026
Palmer Events Center, Austin, Texas, USA

1. Suzume Vs Uta Takami
2. Sakura Hattori Vs Shino Suzuki

The first two shows of the upcoming Texas tour now have full lineups ready to go. The IInspiration will make their Tokyo Joshi Pro debuts on the opening show of the tour as they get ready to challenge for the Princess Tag Team Titles over in Japan at the end of the month. Wakana Uehara will face them with Shoko Nakajima as her tag partner. Yuki Kamifuku will be busy in the main event helping out Yuki Arai against Daydream. Another Sumo Hall preview match has Miyu Yamashita & Arisu Endo getting some ring time together as a team. The tour will also be the first time everyone will see Kaya Toribami in action under her new persona Sakura Hattori.

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “TJPW TEXAS STAMPEDE – AUSTIN DAY 2”, 18/03/2026

5. Miyu Yamashita Vs Shoko Nakajuma

The second show is a little less focused on building towards the Sumo Hall show. Instead we have this year’s Ittenyon main event teaming up together against one of the finalist teams from the Max Heart Tournament. The two longest serving members of the TJPW roster face off when Yamashita takes on Nakajima in their first singles match in around two and a half years. Ober Eats will regroup a day after Uehara experiences what The IInspiration are all about and can start to figure out a battleplan.

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “GRAND PRINCESS ’26”, 29/03/2026
Tokyo Ryogoku Kokugikan

1. Uta Takami Vs Shion Kanzaki
2. Iron Man Heavymetalweight Title – Staggered Entry Battle Royal: Rika Tatsumi/Great Wakabayashi-kun (c) Vs Raku Vs Mahiro Kiryu Vs Mifu Ashida Vs Kira Summer Vs Chika Nanase Vs Sakura Hattori Vs Matcha Vs Momo Sato Vs Minimo (w/ Mari Yaguchi)

9. Princess Tag Team Titles: Yuki Kamifuku & Wakana Uehara (c) Vs Jessie McKay & Cassie Lee
10. Princess Of Princess Title: Miu Watanabe (c) Vs Yuki Arai

This is the complete card for “GRAND PRINCESS ’26”. The appearances of Hattori and a few special guests are all mashed into the Iron Man Heavymetalweight Title Battle Royal. Rika Tatsumi is teasing she will delve deep into her madness and become the Great Wakabayashi-kun in order to defend the title. Matcha will get into the thick of things after she recently beat Yamashita and Toribami for her home promotion’s tag titles. One of the newcomers is Momo Sato, an idol from Harajuku Gakuen who also happens to be Daichi Sato’s little sister. Last but not least, the mascot Minimo-chan has trained hard enough to unlock its own battle mode and will appear in the match as Minimo.

TJPW Heading Back To Las Vegas This April

February 25, 2026

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “TJPW LIVE IN LAS VEGAS 2026”, 16/04/2026
Pearl Theater At Palms Casino Resort, Las Vegas, Nevada, USA

After last year’s success in Las Vegas, Tokyo Joshi Pro is going to do it all over again! They are returning to the Pearl Theater inside Palms Casino Resort to hold a big show during Wrestlemania Week.

The wrestlers from TJPW announced to take part in the show are Miu Watanabe, Yuki Kamifuku, Wakana Uehara, Miyu Yamashita, Shoko Nakajima, Mizuki, Hyper Misao, Raku, Yuki Aino, Suzume, Pom Harajuku, Yuki Arai, Kaya Toribami, Shino Suzuki, HIMAWARI, Toga and Uta Takami.

TOKYO JOSHI PRO/MLP/CMLL “TJPW X MLW X CMLL SUPER SHOW”, 17/04/2026
Pearl Theater At Palms Casino Resort, Las Vegas, Nevada, USA

This time around TJPW are not running their show as part of The Collective. Instead they will be part of a new collection of events called Slam Fest that is being put together by the Paragon Talent Agency (remember Mojo Rawley? That’s his gig now). The other promotions involved in the series are CMLL, House Of Glory, Stardom and Maple Leaf Pro. According to the AXS Tickets page linked on the Palm Casino website, TJPW are also running a interpromotional show with CMLL and Maple Leaf Pro. That might be the weirdest combination of three wrestling companies to run an event together in quite some time.

However it was pointed out to me that TJPW are also scheduled to do a free meet and greet around the same time this super show is allegedly taking place. There might be a mix-up over what this event is meant to be.

UPDATE: The website has removed the link and now only refers to the event as a Meet & Greet.

————————————————————————

So it actually is happening! For months now I’ve been going crazy hearing conflicting information over whether or not TJPW was going back to Las Vegas for Wrestlemania Week. The Collective accidentally linked them and DDT to their first announcement of their return to Vegas but quickly removed those links. Then The Collective revealed their lineup with no DDT or TJPW in sight. However a little while later I learned TJPW were still planning on going to Vegas, this time without GCW’s help. Doubts crept in when their other international tours were announced for March and April. Someone reached out to tell me the Texas tour was the only American visit TJPW had for the Springtime. That info was given to me before the Canadian tour was announced but it wasn’t contradictory nor do I think the person was trying to mislead me.

Yet there was still another side talking about TJPW being set for Vegas one way or another. Smoke to that fire started appearing when Toga was booked for Podermania. Miyu Yamashita was being booked for other shows too but she always goes working in America during this time of year. Toga however was out of the blue. Then the two of them along with Shoko Nakajima, Hyper Misao and Yuki Aino were announced for a WrestleCon convention appearance. By that point I knew there would be a show with TJPW attached to it taking place and just had to play the waiting game until it was officially announced. Finally the news came out today!

TJPW moving on from the GCW relationship doesn’t surprise me. I thought last year’s show was a success attendance wise but the big complaint coming out of it I kept hearing was GCW’s production values ruining the vibes for a lot of fans wanting an authentic TJPW experience. I didn’t have much of a problem with it myself (anyone there remember the “Candyman” rib? Good times) but I get it. The ring they used got worn down pretty bad during every show and if you watched the streams there was little to no variety in the presentation for every show. Also The Up Up Girls entering the Clusterfuck and having Kerry Morton shouting foul mouthed insults at them didn’t go down well with some fans online.

Now let’s have some fun speculating over how on earth this all happened. As much as WWE pulled the rug over everybody with their sudden WrestleMania location switcharoo, it seems that a lot of groups who were going to New Orleans were able to recover and change course back to Vegas. GCW and The Collective made it clear they weren’t using the Palms Casino again but I’d love to know if that was a decision they made of their own volition or if Paragon jumped in and got the venue for themselves first. Paragon did have their own wrestling related stuff going on in that casino last year, I remember that. Also we have TJPW and Stardom working under the same umbrella but being kept away from each other. It’s funny to see it just has to be that way. They are still linked through UJPW but again any hope for a crossover seems slim. There might also be a few awkward meetings if Maki Itoh is travelling over with the Stardom side. There is TJPW links to the other promotions thanks to Nakajima working with CMLL and Yamashita appearing in both HOG and MLP last year. So for a brand new collection TJPW has links with everyone else involved.

New Info For The TJPW Texas Tour

January 23, 2026

Details for three of the four shows Tokyo Joshi Pro will be holding in Texas in March have been revealed. We now know there are two dates in Austin on the 17th and 18th followed by a show in Arlington happening on the 21st. The Houston show currently does not have a date or venue attached. Since the original promoted dates were from the 17th to the 22nd, I reckon it will end up being held on the 22nd but nothing has been confirmed yet.

The list of TJPW wrestlers taking part on the tour are Miu Watanabe, Yuki Kamifuku, Wakana Uehara, Miyu Yamashita, Shoko Nakajima, Mizuki, Rika Tatsumi, Hyper Misao, Raku, Yuki Aino, Suzume, Pom Harajuku, Arisu Endo, Yuki Arai, Kaya Toribami, Shino Suzuki, Mifu Ashida and Uta Takami. There will also be non-Japanese wrestlers taking part and they will be revealed soon.

There’s one more thing I want to slip in at the end here and it is about WrestleMania Week in Las Vegas. Right now there is nothing DDT or TJPW related announced to be happening. MAO put out a tweet a few weeks back expressing his disappointment that he (and Yoshihiko) won’t be returning to Vegas this year which is more evidence that DDT won’t be doing anything. However I am hearing conflicted stories over TJPW putting out some kind of presence there during the week. One side says the Texas tour is the only US shows they are doing for the next couple of months. However I’ve also heard that TJPW is organizing something for Vegas in April that will eventually be revealed. Whether it is a full fledged show or a collaboration with another indie that will only involve a portion of the roster I do not know. The only other info I’ve seen is it will not be attached to GCW or The Collective. So yeah, I just wanted to pass along that rumour for the weekend.
