7. Yuki Kamifuku, Wakana Uehara & Arisu Endo Vs HIMAWARI, Shino Suzuki & Uta Takami

The arrival of J-Rod to Tokyo Joshi Pro has Miu Watanabe searching for more information about her next challenger. She’ll get to see J-Rod up close and in person just over a week before their Princess Of Princess Title bout.

Shoko Nakajima returns from her tour of Mexico.

The era of Mahironman has come to a close. Now it is Rika Tatsumi who holds the Iron Man Heavymetalweight Title and her goal is to gift the championship to Natsume Nakayama, her favorite member of OCHA NORMA. She doesn’t want to fight anyone or go through any risk of losing the belt until then but she has to fight Pom Harajuku later this week, regardless of if she is the champion or not.

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “ALL RISE ’25”, 09/11/2025

5. Princess Of Princess Title: Miu Watanabe (c) Vs J-Rod

With the dust settled from the Next Generation Tournament, the winner Uta Takami has come out of it challenging Arisu Endo for the International Princess Title. Takami explained that the small wrestlers like Endo have become the most influential for her when it comes to the kind of wrestler she wants to become. On the other side, Endo is excited to fight the current version of Takami.

The team of HIMAWARI & Shino Suzuki had to repeat their new team name because everywhere got it slightly wrong yesterday. Their name is Bumping gRitters but they didn’t say it clear enough over the microphone so everyone, including the official social media pages thought it was Bumping gRittes without the ‘r’ at the end.

Earlier in the week Tetsuya Koda tweeted about the Next Generation Tournament final and compared it to the Pacific League Climax Series that is currently going on. Uta Takami is the Fukuoka SoftBank Hawks who already started the series with a one win advantage and had taken the early lead at that point while Chika Nanase is the Hokkaido Nippon-Ham Fighters who needed to make a big comeback to keep the series going. It’s been a few days since that tweet was put out there and the Hawks ended up winning the series, so things are looking good for Takami.

October 22, 2025

Tokyo Ueno Park Outdoor Stage

6. Special Tag Match: Yuki Ueno & Shinya Aoki Vs Takeshi Masada & Daichi Sato

The D GENERATIONS wrestlers are being encouraged to be creative over what kind of match they will put together tomorrow.

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “ALL RISE ’25”, 09/11/2025
Tokyo Korakuen Hall

1. Hiroyo Matsumoto & Yuki Arai Vs Yuna Manase & Toga
2. MLW Women’s World Featherweight Title: Shoko Nakajima (c) Vs Viva Van
3. Princess Tag Team Titles: Yuki Kamifuku & Wakana Uehara (c) Vs 4IMAWARI & Shino Suzuki
3. Princess Of Princess Title: Miu Watanabe (c) Vs J-Rod

The last time Viva Van was in Tokyo Joshi Pro was during Golden Week when she won the VPW Women’s Title from Yuki Kamifuku. She gets the chance to do something similar for her return to the promotion because she has been given the opportunity to take the MLW Women’s World Featherweight Title away from Shoko Nakajima!

The tag team of Hiroyo Matsumoto & Yuki Arai is coming back for a second go around since the first time went so well. Toga will be one of their opponents again and she is looking forward to rematching with Matsumoto, especially since she now has Yuna Manase as her own tag team partner. The match might be the rebound Hot Shot are looking for.

DDT “KUMAMOTO WARRIORS”, 09/11/2025
Kumamoto Castle Hall Civic Hall

1. Kumamoto Castle Sauna No Yu Presents Special 6-Man Tag Match: KONOSUKE TAKESHITA, Sanshiro Takagi & HARASHIMA Vs To-y, Daichi Sato & Yuki Ishida

One of Konosuke Takeshita’s return matches in DDT is now being sponsored by a local men’s sauna. That’s them IWGP World Heavyweight Title bucks being a difference maker right there.

Next Gen Tournament Final, New Title Bouts, Malaysia Match Updates

October 20, 2025

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “TJPW AUTUMN VICTORY IN RYOGOKU”, 26/10/2025
Tokyo Ryogoku KFC Hall

1. Next Generation Tournament ’25 – Final: Uta Takami Vs Chika Nanase
2. Arisu Endo Vs Ren Konatsu
3. Mizuki Vs Toga
4. Rika Tatsumi & Mahiro Kiryu Vs Hyper Misao & Raku
5. Miyu Yamashita & Kaya Toribami Vs Suzume & Pom Harajuku
6. Yuki Kamifuku, Wakana Uehara & Kira Summer Vs HIMAWARI, Shino Suzuki & Haru Kazashiro
7. Miu Watanabe & Yuki Aino Vs Yuki Arai & Mifu Ashida

Due to the Double Elimination format, Uta Takami only needs to beat Chika Nanase once to win the Next Generation Tournament because Nanase has already lost once in the competition. Since Takami has been unbeaten for the whole tournament, Nanase will need to beat her twice in order to become the tournament winner. If Nanase does beat Takami here they will immediately start the grand final rematch to crown the winner.

Shoko Nakajima won’t be at the show because she will be wrestling in Mexico around the same time period.

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “ALL RISE ’25”, 09/11/2025
Tokyo Korakuen Hall

1. MLW Women’s World Featherweight Title: Shoko Nakajima (c) Vs X
2. Princess Tag Team Titles: Yuki Kamifuku & Wakana Uehara (c) Vs HIMAWARI & Shino Suzuki
3. Princess Of Princess Title: Miu Watanabe (c) Vs J-Rod

An American challenger now awaits Miu Watanabe. All she knows about J-Rod is she looks muscular in her pictures so Watanabe is expecting a power versus power battle over the belt.

Ober Eats next have HIMAWARI & Shino Suzuki as the next challengers standing in their way. Yuki Kamifuku isn’t worried because she thinks her team with Wakana Uehara are leagues ahead of their opponents. So much so that she is naming other team Plain Long Hair.

Right as I am typing up this post, Tokyo Joshi Pro tweeted that Nakajima will defend the MLW Women’s World Featherweight Title on this show. Her opponent will be revealed tomorrow.

GANBARE☆PRO “SCHOOL OF ROCK 2025”, 09/11/2025
Shin-Kiba 1st RING

1. Shota Kawakami Vs Sentaro Motoshima
2. Keisuke Ishii Vs Munetatsu Nakamura
3. Spirit Of Ganbare World Tag Team Titles: Ryota Nakatsu & Takumi Tsukamoto (c) Vs Ken Ohka & Choun Shiryu
4. Spirit Of Ganbare World Openweight Title: Masaaki Mochizuki (c) Vs Yuna Manase

After taking a few days to make a decision, Ganbare☆Pro have picked Yuna Manase to be Masaaki Mochizuki’s next challenger for the Spirit Of Ganbare World Title.

GanPro have also put their trust in Ken Ohka & Choun Shiryu to try and beat the BASARA team for the Spirit Of Ganbare World Tag Team Titles. The two of them have been friends for many, many years. Well before either Ryota Nakatsu or Takumi Tsukamoto even started in the business.

DDT/TOKYO JOSHI PRO “LOVE & PEACE”, 15/11/2025
JioSpace, Petaling Jaya, Selangor, Malaysia

1. MYPW Sponsored Match: Wonder Boy & Miles Karu Vs Fienic Rose & ‘Love Warrior’ Syawal

3. Sanshiro Takagi, Shinichiro Kawamatsu & Emman Azman Vs Chris Brookes, Shota & Jack Alexander
4. Miu Watanabe, Yuki Arai & Raku Vs Yuki Kamifuku, Mifu Ashida & Poppy Shay

The joint show in Malaysia has some local wrestlers taking part alongside the DDT and TJPW crews. Those coming over from Malaysia Pro Wrestling (or MYPW for short) include the country’s first female wrestler Poppy Shay jumping into the deep end of TJPW while Emman Azman and Jack Alexander get a taste of what DDT can be like. Also the MYPW are putting together their own match between two of their tag teams Juicy Boyz and LOVE×FRDM.

This week’s Beer Garden show will now include a match involving four wrestlers involved with the D GENERATIONS. But what the match is exactly won’t be revealed until the show itself.

DDT “EMPEROR OF THE RING”, 25/10/2025
Osaka City Ikuno Ward Community Center

1. 3 Way Match: Hideki Okatani Vs Yuki Ishida Vs Kazuma Sumi
2. Kazuki Hirata “Second Match Triumphant Return” Series Vol. 3: MAO (w/ KIMIHIRO) Vs Kazuki Hirata

6. Special Single Match: Yukio Naya Vs KANON

With the next KO-D Tag Team Titles match now decided, Yukio Naya and KANON will face off in a small preview of what’s to come.

DDT “LET’S GO! IMAIKE MOTOIKE 2025”, 26/10/2025
Aichi Imaike Gas Hall

1. Antonio Honda Vs Kazuma Sumi
2. Daisuke Sasaki, Hideki Okatani, MJ Paul & Ilusion Vs KANON, Naomi Yoshimura, Yuya Koroku & Daichi Sato
3. Chris Brookes & Takeshi Masada Vs Kazuki Hirata & Akito
4. Yukio Naya & HARASHIMA Vs Jun Akiyama & Hinata Kasai
5. The 37KAMIINA Vs Harimao!: Yuki Ueno & To-y Vs Kazusada Higuchi & Yuki Ishida
6. Special Single Match: Yuki Iino Vs MAO (w/ KIMIHIRO)

The next day brings in Yuki Iino and MAO to do the same thing.

DDT “ULTIMATE PARTY 2025”, 03/11/2025
Tokyo Ryogoku Kokugikan

1. Sanshiro Takagi Return Match – Special Single Match: Sanshiro Takagi Vs Hinata Kasai
2. HARASHIMA, Toru Owashi & Naomi Yoshimura Vs Soma Takao, Shinichiro Kawamatsu & Rukiya

5. DDT Extreme Title – 5 Way Match: To-y (c) Vs Akito Vs Super Sasadango Machine Vs Kazuki Hirata Vs Antonio Honda
6. KO-D Tag Team Titles – Survival 3 Way Match: Yuki Iino & Yukio Naya (c) Vs MAO & KANON (w/ KIMIHIRO) Vs Chihiro Hashimoto & Yuu
7. Special Single Match: Daisuke Sasaki Vs Danshoku Dieno
8. Dramatic Dream Match: Zack Sabre Jr. Vs Chris Brookes
9. Special Tag Match: KONOSUKE TAKESHITA & Kaisei Takechi Vs Kazusada Higuchi & Takeshi Masada
10. KO-D Openweight Title & DDT Universal Title: Yuki Ueno (K/c) Vs Minoru Suzuki (U/c)

Just like that we have the entire lineup for Sumo Hall next month. Konosuke Takeshita wanted Kazusada Higuchi to be in his tag match so Kaisei Takechi asked for Takeshi Masada to be Higuchi’s tag partner. Danshoku Dieno is feeling like a new person after getting surgery but doesn’t understand that his match with Daisuke Sasaki is the rematch of an infamous Sumo Hall main event they had together back on 2018. The KO-D Tag Titles match doesn’t just have The Apex and Strange Love Connection involved. Team 200kg from Sendai Girls are included as well to make it a Survival 3 Way Match.

DDT “RYOGOKU AFTER ~IT’S A WONDERFUL BATTLE~”, 06/11/2025
Shinjuku FACE

1. Special Single Match: KONOSUKE TAKESHITA Vs Antonio Honda

Shortly after Sumo Hall, Takeshita is sticking around for a few more DDT dates. One of them is to have a singles match with Antonio Honda, his old pal and mentor from Happy Motels.

DDT “TONKOTSU SUPLEX”, 08/11/2025
ACROS Fukuoka Event Hall

1. Special 6-Man Tag Match: KONOSUKE TAKESHITA, Daisuke Sasaki & Ilusion Vs MAO, KANON & Kazuma Sumi

After that he teams up with DAMNATION T.A again. Sasaki started respecting Takeshita when he turned heel in AEW and left The 37KAMIINA in DDT so he must really look up to him now that he won the IWGP World Heavyweight Title.

DDT “KUMAMOTO WARRIORS”, 09/11/2025
Kumamoto Castle Hall Civic Hall

1. Special 6-Man Tag Match: KONOSUKE TAKESHITA, Sanshiro Takagi & HARASHIMA Vs To-y, Daichi Sato & Yuki Ishida

So, er… Takeshita’s going to work a few New Japan shows during this period too, right? Because he’s not beating the allegations so far. Would be funny if Takeshita’s entire title reign is spent wrestling the likes of Antonio Honda and Sanshiro Takagi instead of say Shota Umino or Yuya Uemura.

DDT “UTAN FESTA 2025”, 16/11/2025
Tokyo JR Omori Station East Exit Square

1. Omori World Title Next Challenger Battle Royal: X Vs X
2. Interim World Omori Title: Kazuki Hirata Vs Antonio Honda

The current World Omori Champion is the injured Masahiro Takanashi so an interim champion is being crowned in the meantime. Either Kazuki Hirata or Antonio Honda will become Takanashi’s stand-in for the annual Omori Title Match while another No. 1 Contender will be determined in a Battle Royal.

The KO-D 6-Man Tag Team Titles match headlines the show, serving as a preview for Yuki Ueno Vs Minoru Suzuki and also getting everyone to wait until the end to see Kaisei Takechi wrestle again.

BASARA “BASARA 291 ~KOO~”, 31/10/2025
Shinjuku FACE

1. Takeru Inoue & Yasu Urano Vs Ken Ohka & Shota Kawakami

The type of death match for tomorrow’s FREEDOMS Vs Ganbare☆Pro main event has been decided. Lighttubes are the recommended item on the menu but other weapons will be featured too.

GanPro has a secret weapon up their sleeve for the semi-main event. Yumehito Imanari & Yuna Manase will be accompanied by Nobita as their ringside attendant. Nobita is the nickname of Takahiro Nakayama, a GanPro staff member who was a pro wrestler for a very brief amount of time back in 2014. The FREEDOMS wrestlers had been bullying him around whenever they showed up at GanPro shows, unaware of his background. If Takashi Sasaki & Toru Sugiura are not careful he might decide to start fighting back!

The 3 Way match between Yuki Iino, To-y and Yuki Ishida will have an extra rule banning the wrestlers from doing their trademark catchphrases and poses.

DDT “EMPEROR OF THE RING”, 25/10/2025
Osaka City Ikuno Ward Community Center

It’s possible that Kazusada Higuchi & Yuki Ishida will be the KO-D Tag Team Champions by the time this match takes place.

BAKA GAIJIN + FRIENDS “VOL. 25: GHOST IN THE MACHINE”, 28/10/2025
Tokyo ARENA Shimokitazawa

1. Special Single Match: Mr. Bueno Vs Kota Sekifuda
2. Special Single Match: Chris Brookes Vs K4PY

Kota Sekifuda and K4PY both made their Baka Gaijin + Friends debut at “FUCKED UP FEST 2025” but here will be their first appearances in the promotion’s home venue.

Also MAO will be on the show.

BASARA “BASARA 291 ~KOO~”, 31/10/2025
Shinjuku FACE

1. Iron Fist Tag Team Titles: Kengo Mashimo & Ayumu Honda (c) Vs Takato Nakano & Masato Kamino
2. Union MAX Title: Ryota Nakatsu (c) Vs Trans-Am ★ Hiroshi

Aijin Tag defeated one half of MJ2 in order to win the IRON FIST Tag Tournament. Next they will have to beat the other half to bring the Iron Fist Tag Team Titles back to BASARA.

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “ALL RISE ’25”, 09/11/2025
Tokyo Korakuen Hall

1. Princess Tag Team Titles: Yuki Kamifuku & Wakana Uehara (c) Vs HIMAWARI & Shino Suzuki
2. Princess Of Princess Title: Miu Watanabe (c) Vs J-Rod

The next wrestler from America has been chosen to go on tour with Tokyo Joshi Pro this November. J-Rod has around three years of experience since graduating from the NJPW Academy in America with Ohio Valley Wrestling being her current most regular promotion. The “Ultimate Athlete” will debut in TJPW on the 1st November show but the big match of her tour will be fighting either Miu Watanabe or Yuki Aino for the Princess Of Princess Title at November’s Korakuen show.

I don’t mind this trend of tag teams getting themselves in line for a future Princess Tag Team Titles shot while the champions still have other challengers to get through. HIMAWARI & Shino Suzuki have teamed on and off together this year but both are feeling left behind by other wrestlers from their class. The two are taking their team to the next level by challenging the winners of Ober Eats Vs Hot Shot for the titles.

SUPER JAPAN “NEVER MIND”, 29/12/2025
Shinjuku FACE

1. Special Tag Match: MIKAMI & Takashi Sasaki Vs X & X
2. Special 6-Man Tag Match: Sanshiro Takagi, Jun Kasai & Ippanjin Munenori Sawa Vs Yuji Nagata, Kuroshio TOKYO Japan & Fuminori Abe

The last Super Japan show of the year is being advertised as the season finale of year one. Sanshiro Takagi is so happy with how Yuji Nagata has turned out as his chosen ace that he wants to wrestle Nagata himself. He also wants to team with Munenori Sawa again and expected Nagata to get more plenty of people offering to team with him so Jun Kasai was brought in to even up the numbers. Nagata has both Kuroshio TOKYO Japan & Fuminori Abe wanting to join his side so the two teams are now set.

Super Japan serves as an alternate take of what DDT could have turned into if Takagi chose that name instead of Dramatic Dream Team back in 1997. In DDT, MIKAMI & Takashi Sasaki were more like rivals than partners despite once holding the KO-D Tag Titles together back in 2002. So Takagi wants to see what it would be like if the two of them were a tag team from the beginning instead of opponents. MIKAMI & Sasaki are both curious to find out for themselves as well.

Yeah so it turns out Danshoku Dieno wasn’t just ill during the week. He went for a medical examination and was actually diagnosed with appendicitis. He will be out of action for a while. Naomi Yoshimura replaces him on Sunday’s show. Also Yuki Ishida looks to be healthy enough to wrestle again.

Urano will have a busy day because not only is he having this show in Shin-Kiba but he’s also involved with a one-off K-DOJO reunion show happening in Chiba to celebrate the 25th Anniversary of K-DOJO’s formation (with TAKA Michinoku nowhere to be seen funnily enough)!

Kiryu’s goal is to make it to her homecoming show as the Iron Man Champion. Yamashita briefly put that goal on hold when she won the title from her but Kiryu quickly won it back with a post-match roll up. All that has done is made Yamashita angry enough to want the championship back even it it means ruining Kiryu’s moment!
