9. Princess Of Princess Title: Yuki Arai (c) defeated Arisu Endo with the Finally (20:38).
*V2 for Yuki Arai.

It is the 5th Anniversary of Yuki Arai’s pro wrestling debut and she celebrates it by standing on top of the Tokyo Joshi Pro mountain. Her second Princess Of Princess Title defence was completed today with a victory over Arisu Endo, who was one of her first opponents in her debut match five years ago. Endo just couldn’t pull off the Ju no Okite to put Arai away with the move being either blocked or escaped from. After the latter happened, Arai got Endo with the Finally to the back of the head. She then hit the Rookie Award followed by another Finally to put Endo away. After the match Arai said Endo always calls her the main character of TJPW behind the scenes. Arai doesn’t like to say that but in her world, Endo is the main character too along with everyone else in TJPW. Backstage Endo said the match shows how much both of them have grown over five years because they got to fight for the Princess Title in the main event of Korakuen Hall today.

Back in the ring Arai talked about having her debut match five years ago. It was at an empty Korakuen Hall because of the covid pandemic but today she feels like she is in the best condition possible by defending the Princess Title in front of a big crowd. Yuki Kamifuku then entered the ring and told Arai she looks tired. When Kamifuku lost the Princess Tag Team Titles she wondered why she works so hard as a wrestler. She figured out it’s because it makes her feel beautiful! She isn’t really that invested in championships and hates fighting in singles matches but working so hard towards a goal feels like the perfect anti-aging technique for her. So for the first time ever Kamifuku wants to challenge for the Princess Title! Arai accepted and asked for the match to happen in Korakuen on 7th June. Kamifuku then asked to take a picture together with her while they’re both looking their youngest. Kamifuku admitted backstage she considered doing the title challenge two days ago when she looked in the mirror and noticed her skin was beginning to sag a bit. She also believes that Arai is already starting to rest on her laurels too much.

Daydream are now two-time Princess Tag Champions after they defeated The IInspiration, bringing the belts back home to TJPW. In the leadup to the match they made dolls of The IInspiration, claiming they were just doing it to be cute despite the dolls looking anything but. Jessie McKay & Cassie Lee were given the dolls as gifts before the match began but they threw them away and attacked the challengers. Late in the match Miu Watanabe saved Rika Tatsumi from taking the IIdolizer then she dropped Tatsumi onto both of them with a Human Bomb double team move. Lee and Watanabe then fought in the corner where Tatsumi used them as a stepping stone to hit McKay with the Flying Hip Attack. With McKay out of the way, Lee was given the Daydream Eternity and was pinned by Watanabe for the title change. The IInspiration later blamed the loss on TJPW being a dangerous workplace. They complained about having to wrestle after taking an 18 hour flight, getting paper streamers thrown at their heads, being hit in the face by Tatsumi’s butt, being swung around in circles by Watanabe and on top of it all feeling dehydrated the entire time. They wouldn’t mind coming back to TJPW but only if they have plenty of drinking water ready, everyone stops throwing paper streamers at them and they get to challenge for the tag titles again.

Watanabe said it feels like five million years since the last time they were Princess Tag Champions and Tatsumi wondered if everyone even remembers when they held the old white belts? Daydream felt the worldwide experience of The IInspiration while fighting them and they hope they will come back to Japan. Tatsumi now wants Daydream to go after the most defences record. Their first challengers then made themselves known when Mizuki & Uta Takami walked out. The two of them have continued teaming together since reaching the final of this year’s Max Heart Tournament. Takami has grown to love wrestling even more because of it so she wants to get a title shot with Mizuki. Tatsumi scolded Takami because she never gave her permission to team with Mizuki but she is willing to defend the titles against the two of them if it means the team will end after Daydream wins. However Mizuki said she is living in the present and wants to team with Takami to win the belts, even if it means stealing Tatsumi’s heart in the process. The title match will happen on 7th June.

Now is not the time yet for Haru Kazashiro to win championships. Suzume took Kazashiro’s best shot and was still standing. She kicked out of the Fisherman Suplex and escaped from the Straight Armbar to keep Kazashiro flustered. Kazashiro tried going for the Fisherman Suplex again but Suzume countered it into a Noshigami and followed up with a top rope Facecrusher. She then hit the Ring A Bell to remain as the International Princess Champion. She said she is happy to see Kazashiro reach the point to where they can fight each other in title matches now. Suzume is also very excited she will be going to her homecoming show in two days time as the IP Champion. Kazashiro called the match fun even though she feels like she could have done better. She gets frustrated when she isn’t able to show everyone what she learns in training and doesn’t get to fully enjoy her matches because of it. But today’s match confirmed to her who she is and it was the most fun she’s ever had because of it. She believes this confidence she gained will only make her stronger.

Something was on Hyper Misao’s mind when Kyoraku Kyomei faced K!SS// in a rematch from the Max Heart Tournament. Misao wanted to start the match off with Sakura Hattori straight away because she really wanted to fight the newcomer. However it seemed like she couldn’t tell that Hattori is the former Kaya Toribami who pinned her back in that tournament. Hattori’s ninja techniques were quickly foiled by Misao’s Hero Spray and Miyu Yamashita got blinded with it too. The match was decided under more skillful means when Hattori went back and forth with Shoko Nakajima. After a lot of dodged moves, Nakajima got the better of Hattori by countering the Kitcho Kagome cradle into a counter pin that held the ninja’s shoulders down for the three count. It wasn’t until Kyoraku Kyomei went back to the locker room that they realised Hattori used to be Toribami! Now they’re wondering how a bird suddenly turned into a ninja while they weren’t paying attention. Meanwhile Yamashita noted this was the first time K!SS// were teaming up since Hattori’s transformation. They’re going to continue teaming together and aim for a championship but Yamashita thinks they may need to rename the tag team to something more fitting for Hattori’s ninja aesthetic.

Toga collided with Ryo Mizunami from the get go with clashing Shoulder Blocks, Chops and Elbow Strikes. Mizunami blocked the Absolute Zero but still gave Toga encouragement to fight her harder. Toga was staggered after taking a Headbutt and some Lariats though. Once she was taken down with the Spear it was all over for her. Mizunami remembers her previous singles match with Toga around two and a half years ago. She’s happy to see Toga didn’t waste her time since them but still thinks Toga needs to forge her own path to get stronger. While Toga believes she has gotten stronger, she also thinks she has not closed the gap between her and Mizunami. She promised not to give up until she can definitely beat Mizunami!

The illusion that’s been crafted for Kakeru Sekiguchi & Mahiro Kiryu is at risk of falling apart. Kamifuku outright told them before their match that the two do not look alike! However after doing the opening exchange with Sekiguchi, Kamifuku lost track of who was who and couldn’t tell them apart any more. An attempt at twin magic was also played on Aja Kong but she solved the puzzle by slapping the both of them one after the other. She gave Sekiguchi the Back Drop but Kamifuku again confused her opponent for Kiryu and tried to pin her when she wasn’t the legal woman. The real Kiryu tried to capitalize but Kamifuku fought back and correctly pinned her with the Famouser. She can’t explain how she confused Sekiguchi for Kiryu other than they started looking more alike to her as the match progressed. Kamifuku will next meet Kong on opposing teams for Kong’s 40th Anniversary show. Kong said the “fake Mahiro” will be there too. She would have also booked the real one if she had the Iron Man Heavymetalweight Title but without it, Kong has zero interest in Mahiro Kiryu because she’s useless.

Golden Week is a very busy time in Japan which was proven when Pom Harajuku led a train attack in her match and called it “Golden Week Traffic Jam”. She also used her loud screaming stop Mei Suruga from doing a rope walk move on Yuki Aino. Suruga then didn’t know what to do when Raku laid down in the ring and started to sulk instead of nap. She got better when Suruga lied down next to her and patted her on the head in apology. The three gremlin sisters then went crazy on Love Triangle until Harajuku took off her shoes and tried to fight off Mizuki with them. Mizuki took the shoes off her and then accidentally threw them into the audience while fighting with Aino. Harajuku got a replacement pair from Raku but Mizuki ended up throwing those away too. She then beat Takami with the Diving Foot Stomp after getting some help with Takami. Suruga told Mizuki afterwards that today was the first time they’ve teamed up in eight years! The two of them told Takami she needs to become as bold as they are.

YuuRI was back in TJPW and started off her match facing against Chika Nanase. When it was Shino Suzuki’s turn to get involved, she took Wakana Uehara sightseeing around the ring. Kira Summer breaking up Nanase’s pin on Uehara caused all six wrestlers to get in and start fighting. Suzuki got rid of Summer with the Belly-To-Belly Suplex. She & HIMAWARI then got YuuRI with a Spear/Neckbreaker combo. Nanase tried to finish off Uehara by herself but Uehara turned things around and won with the Sushi Tornado.

In the opening match the two rookies Ren Konatsu and Shion Kanzaki faced each other once again. Konatsu came out on top this time by using a new submission move to win. She put Kanzaki in the Rings Of Saturn to win and it was later named the Shoulder Bites (maybe because the move was also once called the Batista Bite?).

When the show began Rise Shirai introduced everyone to Momo Sato, confirming that the idol has officially become a trainee for TJPW like she said she would back in March. Sato is the younger sister of DDT wrestler Daichi Sato and has spent time in the wrestling ring before doing stuff for HEAT-UP. Since then she became an idol with Harajuku Gakuen and was scouted by Sanshiro Takagi to give TJPW a go. Sato greeted the fans and told them she will do her best to make her debut. On a sidenote, this news comes shortly after a now former trainee was seen working ringside duties at a Marigold show over the weekend. Anri was the trainee who was meant to debut alongside Shion Kanzaki back in January but it was called off when she wasn’t considered to be in the right condition to debut yet. I hadn’t heard anything about her ever since that announcement came out. Then very recently there was a Rossy Ogawa interview where he revealed Marigold will soon have a new rookie who was originally supposed to debut somewhere else. A few Japanese fans on Twitter were quick to recognise Anri at ringside at Marigold and now things are starting to clear up a little bit. I don’t see any harm or foul over it. Every wrestling company has trainees who come, go and then debut somewhere else for whatever reason. TJPW is no exception and have been accused of committing similar actions in the past. Also while we’re here is the other trainee Yuuka still around? I never notice what trainees are working ringside duties until social media points it out.

The 7th June show will have MIRAI returning to wrestle and also Sumire Uesaka appearing as a guest commentator. As far as I know Uesaka is still the Iron Man Champion after winning it back at “GRAND PRINCESS ’26”.

TJPW is collaborating with the Tokyo Idol Festival to hold matches during the TIF ASIA Tour being held in Odaiba this summer. The matches will be held on 31sy July, 1st August and 3rd August.

Shizuoka Shimizu Marine Building

1. HIMAWARI & Shino Suzuki Vs Haru Kazashiro & Toga

For Shino Suzuki’s homecoming show the Bumping gRitters will be fighting in the main event! It is a clash of the 2023 Class when Suzuki & HIMAWARI take on Haru Kazashiro & Toga.

Both Shoko Nakajima and Yuki Kamifuku will not be at the show. They are instead booked for Aja Kong’s 40th Anniversary show taking place in Okinawa. Nakajima is in the opener while Kamifuku will be on the team opposing Kong in the main event!

3. Union MAX Title: Shuji Ishikawa (c) Vs SAGAT

SAGAT has become the first wrestler in BASARA to get a three count pin on Shuji Ishikawa. He’s now aiming to do it again to become the new Union MAX Champion.

Just when Aijin Tag felt like they have cleaned out BASARA’s tag division, Minoru Fujita & Yasu Urano have appeared and even stolen one of the Iron Fist Tag Team Title belts! It’s all so Fujita can promote his Fujita Pro Wrestling School project and he’s even thinking about renaming the tag titles under that brand if he and Urano properly win them.

What was supposed to be a Union Pro tribute tag team has fallen apart after FUMA and Seiya Morohashi failed to win the Iron Fist Tag Titles. They both blame each other for the loss so will settle their differences in the ring.

A very rainy day turned out to be an unintentional boost for the Three Unagi Siblings. Who could have predicted that wet conditions would favour seafood themed wrestlers? Antonio Honda had his face painted to match Aja Kong and tried to torture his opponents by eating a bento box on top of them after Chris Brookes rolled all of them up into Paradise Locks. The Siblings got their payback when Unagi Mask Woman grabbed Kong’s steel bin from her and hit her over the head with it. She also gave Brookes a German Suplex to clear out the ring. Super Unagi Mask then hit a Springboard Splash onto Honda for the three count. Unagi Mask brought Shishamo Power into the ring after the match so all of the seafood wrestlers could celebrate their victories with the president of Yamada Suisan. They promised to work hard so they can run this event again.

The rainy weather arrived during Match #4 where Gota Ihashi wrestled wearing a Yamada Suisan staff outfit. He wasn’t much use in the match so it was up to Shishamo Power to win it.

*V3 for Shuji Ishikawa.

The second ever Gaisen Sakura show put together by Ryuichi Sekine and his wife Nodoka Tenma brought a day of wrestling to their home of Shinjo Village in Okayama. Matches were provided by both BASARA and Tokyo Joshi Pro with Sekine taking part in a main event Union MAX Title challenge against Shuji Ishikawa. Although he wasn’t able to win the belt in front of his wife and child, Sekine promised everyone he will continue to live in the village determined to never give up.

Tenma’s sister Yuki Aino teamed up with the rest of the Tojo Tokosatsu Club to fight against Aja Kong again. She also had to dodge out of the way from a top rope smashing hammer attack from Mizuki. Mizuki had some more misfortune after that when Kong accidentally hit her over the head with the steel can that was aimed for someone else. The Club were given 10kg of A5 Grade wagyu beef as their reward for winning the match. They knew it was raining in the area yesterday and believe it went away today because Kong is really a super ultra sunshine girl.

10. Princess Of Princess Title: Yuki Arai defeated Miu Watanabe (c) with the Finally (21:20)

The largest turnout for a Tokyo Joshi Pro ever gathered together in Sumo Hall to see multiple new champions being crowned along with the coronation of Yuki Arai! After many weeks of back and forth tag matches with Miu Watanabe, Arai got to have the last word with a definitive victory to become the new Princess Of Princess Champion. Watanabe was able to block the Finally but did not expect Arai to follow it up with the Rookie Award. Watanabe hit back with a Batting Hammer swing only for Arai to respond again with a Big Boot followed by the Full Nelson Buster. While Arai was too hurt to make the pin there and then, she got into position to hit the Finally and pin Watanabe for the three count.

Arai received the brand new 3rd Generation Princess Title and thanked Watanabe for the match they just had. She convinced Watanabe to get back into the ring so Arai could talk about how much she aspired to be like her, from her debut match with her and all the time they spent training together ever since. Today is the start of another new day and Arai hopes she will fight Watanabe even more. This time it can be her who accepts Watanabe’s challenge for the title. Watanabe said she would like to see Arai hold the title for as long as she can but she is will still aim to become the champion again so she can hold the new belt. They will always friends who will fight for the rest of their lives. When Watanabe left, Arai thanked everyone on the show today for creating such a wonderful time. She thought a lot about what kind of champion she can be and has come up with an answer. She wants to be a champion who can dream and make those dreams come true with her friends. That dream is to make TJPW even bigger and more loved so they can hold a show at the Tokyo Dome! She admits it takes a lot of courage to say that which is why she is saying it in front of everybody. She wants to dream the biggest, most foolish dreams to show everybody the most unbelievable sights!

There was more said during Arai’s backstage comments after the show. She actually talked about a dream like this when she graduated from SKE48 a year ago but it was only in front of 300 people. By being able to dedicate 100% of her time to pro wrestling she has not only grown as a wrestler but has also come to enjoy pro wrestling more. Her first defence will be against J-Rod in Las Vegas next month. They’ve been friends during J-Rod’s tours of Japan but have never wrestled each other. She’s looking forward to fighting her in America and likes that they wear the same costume colours. Watanabe has conflicting feelings coming out of the match. She likes Arai but is worried that she may now start to hate her! She can’t explain what these feelings are. But even though she is no longer the Princess Champion, she will always be Miu-derella. She also seems to have attracted the attention of one of the outsiders today. But more on that later…

Ober Eats wanted to defend the Princess Tag Team Titles against a team more glamourous than them. Well, be careful what your ask for. The newly redesigned Princess Tag Titles now belong to The IInspiration! The challengers looked to be in trouble when Yuki Kamifuku gave them the Double Famouser. Things changed when Wakana Uehara tried to do the Sushi Tornado but Jessie McKay countered it into a Blue Thunder Bomb. Cassie Lee took Kamifuku out of the running with the Twist Of Fate, leaving Uehara all by herself. The IInspiration took advantage of the opening and used The IIdolizer on her to win the titles. Backstage Kamifuku thinks the moment they lost was when they saw The IInspiration walk out looking like they were dressed for a night out in Roppongi. She is annoyed that she lost the titles but looks forward to seeing what her next path will be. Uehara said she wants to win all of the championships, both single and tag team. Kamifuku advised her to reflect on today’s loss first and not to get greedy so quickly. Uehara doesn’t know what the future holds but she thanks everyone for supporting Ober Eats. The IInspiration said they were taken aback by how much heart their opponents showed but they’ve been teaming together for almost 20 years and are unbeatable with that kind of experience.

Every time MIRAI has been in an International Princess Title match this year she has brought along someone from Michinoku Pro to stand in her corner. That continued today with Hayato Jr. Fujita making an appearance! But by the end of the bout the spotlight was on Suzume for bringing the title back to TJPW. MIRAI hit her with some heavy Lariats along the way including one to counter a Diving Cross Body from the top rope after a weird looking standoff. Suzume’s use of the Ring A Bell made the difference, with the springboard version putting MIRAI down for the count. The two BeeStar wrestlers then embraced each other after the match. Backstage MIRAI talked about how often she would lose matches in TJPW and be left looking up at the lights. Today felt a little different because of how much she has grown since leaving TJPW. She definitely wants to fight Suzume again. Meanwhile Suzume said she is who she is today because of MIRAI and meeting her again reaffirmed her love for TJPW. Now that she has the IP Title again she wants to defend it against wrestlers from all over the world to make it a championship that everybody wants to fight for. However Sakura Hattori would find Suzume backstage and hand over a scroll to her. In it was a message declaring a challenge for a title match. Suzume accepted her challenge.

Before the intergender tag match could begin, Super Sasadango Machine had a PowerPoint Presentation to explain how he and Hyper Misao could beat Konosuke Takeshita & Yuka Sakazaki today. However the PowerPoint said they have no chance of winning because the married couple are superior to them in every aspect and have a perfectly harmonious relationship to boot. Instead, Sasadango figured the best plan was to have forced synchronization by getting the audience to speak out CyberFight’s corporate philosophy in unison. Misao then led the audience to chant the 2026 slogan for TJPW, “KAWAII! DREAM! STRONG! Pro wrestling that makes you look forward to tomorrow!” Sasadango also worked out that if you mixed their opponent’s names together, you would get Kohnosuke Sakazaki, the guitarist from The Alfee. Using that as inspiration the plan would be for Sasadango to immobilize Takeshita on the stage while Misao summons several wrestlers dressed like her to all beat Sakazaki in the ring. The final part of the plan would be for Misao to spray Sakazaki in the face and then pin her for the win.

As the match began, Sasadango lured Takeshita up to the stage by waving around his personal 1950s style Leica camera. Sakazaki told Takeshita he could just buy a new one but he ignored her to chase after Sasadango. Misao then summoned her extras Hyper MiKAWAII (Uta Takami), Hyper MiDREAM (Ren Konatsu) and Hyper MiSTRONG (Toga) so the four of them could all attack Sakazaki while chanting their slogan. However the four way spray attack backfired when Sakazaki ran out of the way and everyone blinded each other instead. Later when the fighting escaped the ring again, Takeshita missed a Big Boot meant for Sasadango and accidentally hit Sakazaki with it! Later in the match Misao went for the spray again but found out it was now empty. She called for a pause so she could speak on the microphone because she wasn’t able to do it earlier due to Sasadango’s PowerPoint. In her speech she said she was the first one to raise her hand when TJPW were looking for an opponent for Sakazaki’s return. Misao does not have most of her seniors still around in TJPW and Sakazaki is one of them. When Sakazaki graduated from TJPW, Misao never had the courage to express her feelings and was left to regret it. She pleaded with Takeshita to tag Sakazaki in so she could fight her one on one for the rest of the match. Sakazaki would win that battle but Sasadango broke the pin count believing Misao could still win. The match returned to being two against two and Sakazaki got to beat Misao proper with the Magical Magical Girl Splash. Backstage Sakazaki said the “Cultural Pro Wrestling” style provided by DDT and TJPW is something special. Both Sasadango & Misao will continue to represent that style for a long time to come. She also vaguely remembers feeling a kick to her head at some point during the match but Takeshita told her she’s just imaginining things. Takeshita also said that he and Sakazaki will strive for greater heights together hand in hand along with their pet dog Kenshiro. Misao thanked Sasadango for somehow achieving her selfish wish to fight Sakazaki one on one within a 3 meter radiance of Sumo Hall.

High reviews are popping off for Match #6. Miyu Yamashita & Arisu Endo tried their hardest to stand their ground against Spark Rush. Even from the beginning the tension was high with Yamashita and Sareee staring each other down in the ring with some hair pulling to go with it. Endo lived up to her promise not to be the odd one out of the match by bringing the fight to both Sareee & Takumi Iroha. Late in the match Sareee got to roll Yamashita into position for a Double Stomp only for Yamashita to fire back at her with the Skull Kick. Endo wasn’t able to last much longer fighting Iroha by herself. Despite a spirited fight, she was put away with the Running Three. Backstage Iroha said Yamashita was someone who was always on her radar and she hasn’t had enough of fighting her yet. She’d like to see how Yamashita would fare against her outside of TJPW. Both of Spark Rush also thought Endo was just some brat but it turns out she has a lot of guts. Sareee was happy to have Iroha by her side for her return to TJPW. She would like to fight Yamashita again soon but Miu Watanabe has also caught her attention. Yamashita called the match fun but thinks the fun will disappear if she doesn’t win. Endo wanted to say she will keep chasing Spark Rush until she can beat them but struggled to fight through the tears. Yamashita instructed her to hold her head up high and say it clearly.

Mizuki entered an epic battle of David Vs Goliath armed with the brand new Burn Pico Pico Core Axe Hammer. But it wasn’t just Andreza Giant Panda she had to worry about. Andreza was accompanied by other New Nemuro Pro Wrestling acts like Ossan Tiger and Mr. USA, the latter of which tried to interfere at a different points in the match. Mizuki survived the massive Headbutt and Spinning Back Fist, then bridged out of the Andreza Press to start Double Stomping on the panda. She then grabbed her new weapon, climbed the top rope and just like she did two years earlier knocked him down with an almighty swing! Mr. USA spoiled the moment by pulling the ref out of the ring but Mizuki took care of him by doing the Whirling Candy on top of him. Andreza found the fighting spirit to stand back up but Mizuki took him down again this time with the Diving Foot Stomp right to the face. That was the finishing blow for Mizuki to pin the panda. Backstage Mizuki says she really loves pandas but Andreza is evil. With that said she is willing to put this all behind her so she and the Giant Panda can become friends. Andreza’s excuse for losing is he is usually in hibernation at this time of year until early September. He would like to come back for revenge later in the year during a more warmer season.

The Tojo Tokosatsu Club got to achieve their dream of fighting alongside the Super Sentai. They made a big entrance with three of the red rangers Ninja Red, Geki Red & ~~Goon Red~~ Go-On Red. However their opponents had a suprise of their own when they were joined by a trio of villains from the same show and they took Rise Shirai hostage! Pom Harajuku told the Club they shouldn’t have brought their hobby into the ring. If they want to save Shirai then they should forfeit the match! Yuki Aino admitted she was excited to see the Super Sentai collaboration also included bringing in monsters but her team didn’t know what to do. Suddenly the voice actor Tetsu Inada left the commentary table and entered the ring. He said the Super Sentai will never lose and he encouraged the audience to cheer for them because that powers up superheroes just like it does pro wrestlers. Together, the Super Sentai and Tokosatsu Club sent the villains fleeing from the ring, freeing Shirai in the process. It was then time to start the actual match. Harajuku wasn’t worried because Aja Kong & VENY are more dangerous than any monster. The two of them were a tough pair for the Tokosatsu Club to fight. The Club tried to form a Megazord but collapsed under each other’s weight. The other team suffered a setback of their own when Kong missed Shoko Nakajima with the steel can and hit Harajuku with it instead. Haru Kazashiro knocked Kong out of the ring with a second rope Dropkick and the coast was clear for Nakajima to pin Harajuku with the Diving Senton. Nakajima said she worked way harder than usual because she wanted to look her coolest in front of Ninja Red. Aino didn’t want to show a pathetic performance in front of the Super Sentai. Kazashiro thinks they were stronger than usual because their feelings are the source of their strength and the Super Sentai collaboration magnified them today. Kong blamed Harajuku over calling for her to use the metal can because you can’t use an 18 liter can for everything. There’s a time and place for to use it and Harajuku’s timing is terrible! Kong also thought the monsters were useless because they all came unarmed to fight a bunch of Sentai carrying swords and guns!

Many stressful games of Rock Paper Scissors have prepared Shino Suzuki for today’s big match. She couldn’t help but go through it one more time with HIMAWARI as part of their entrance together. The training paid off because Bumping gRitters were able to win their match! Suzuki used the Belly-To-Belly Suplex on Toga while HIMAWARI was able to pin Ren Konatsu with the Sunflower Tempest for the victory. Suzuki was so happy over the result because before the show she said Bumping gRitters were going to leave the ring by walking up the Ryogoku entrance ramp instead of leaving through the side exit. She got to live up to her word. HIMAWARI said next time they’ll try to do it again but on their own. They think they might even get to fight for a championship the next time they come to Sumo Hall! Konatsu talked about how everyone else in the match is from the 2023 class and seeing them all fired up shows she still has a long way to go. Toga said she’ll work hard to overtake the gRitters and win next time.

The Battle Royal was a free for all before it even began. After Minimo made a big entrance with Mari Yaguchi, a video played on the screen showing Raku backstage pinning Antonio Honda while he was asleep to win the Iron Man Heavymetalweight Title. Raku then made it down to the ring to start the match as the defending champion. Yaguchi interfered to attack Raku with a Sexy Beam but the two then joined forces to fight off Mifu Ashida. Raku broke off the alliance by hitting Minimo with the Poppo Chop for the first elimination. Momo Sato got to show off her skills against Chika Nanase but was ultimately taken out by Nanase’s Inari Torii submission hold. Rika Tatsumi appeared under her psycho persona The Great Wakabayashi-kun. She was armed with a foreign object that she used to choke both Nanase and Kira Summer. It also had a blade hidden inside it which she used to stab Raku’s pillow. After doing that she pinned Raku with the Neck Hanging Bomb to win the title. Sakura Hattori made quick work of eliminating Nanase when she entered the match but putting her attention on Matcha afterwards allowed Summer to knock her from the ring apron to the floor for an elimination. Mahiro Kiryu then got to do the same thing to both Summer and Matcha. Sumire Uesaka made her big entrance by rampaging through the crowd armed with a saber just like Tiger Jeet Singh (Tetsu Inada was following her while dressed as Umanosuke Ueda). Honda used his Gongitsune joke to knock Ashida out of the ring. The Shining Gongitsune meant for Kiryu hit Tatsumi instead and Kiryu rolled her up to win the title next. Honda was now ready to fight his war with Uesaka until Uesaka tripped and injured herself. She told her own Gongitsune joke and hit Honda with it to send him tumbling out of the ring. She then used a Victor Roll on Kiryu to set up a Knee Bar submission, tapping Kiryu out to win the Battle Royal and become Iron Man Champion! She’s a little worried about defending it because her saber went missing during the match and she doesn’t know where to find it. Meanwhile Momo Sato said she had so much fun she wants to start from scratch and join TJPW as a trainee. Her goal as a pro wrestler will be to one day take down her brother Daichi Sato!

Today is Uta Takami’s birthday and she got to celebrate it by beating Shion Kanzaki in the opening match of the show. While Kanzaki had some spots of offence including a Jumping Back Elbow from the second rope, Takami took her down with the Koala Clutch and tightened the grip around the body with her legs until Kanzaki gave up. Takami said one of her wrestling goals is to win a match in Sumo Hall. It’s not a big enough goal to make her cry tears of joy but she’s still incredibly happy to achieve it today. Kanzaki said she was very nervous to be in the first match of the show in front of so many people inside a big venue. She gave it her all which is why the defeat feels even more frustrating. She promised to work even harder so that she can beat Takami one day.

It’s only when I started typing this when I noticed Tokyo Joshi Pro has been running Sumo Hall on a two year cycle this entire time. “GRAND PRINCESS” has been held at Ryogoku in 2022, 2024 and now 2026. The third time looks to be their most ambitious event in the venue with the ultimate goal of reaching a sell out being put in place. I don’t know if the success Stardom got in the building at the end of 2025 has anything to do with it but something prodded TJPW hard enough to get them into marketing their show harder than ever before. We have celebrity and multimedia tie-ins galore on the undercard alongside some new wrestling crossovers that TJPW doesn’t normally go through. Putting it all together is a smorgasbord of different storylines that range from some wrestlers striving to become stronger, others fighting alongside their heroes, a deep throwback to pro wrestling’s Showa days and a main event rivalry that can honest to God find comparisons with King’s Road. Things are looking different compared to the last two Ryogoku shows because TJPW are now firmly trusting their second generation to perform at the top end of the card. Another sign of a new era approaching is the show will debut newly designed belts for the three TJPW championships.

The promotional blitz is all thanks to Super Sasadango Machine. The masked wrestler from DDT is also a savvy business man outside of wrestling with a good reputation for his marketing abilities. TJPW hired him to be the PR Ambassador for this show and he came up with the “Ryogoku Road To Success” Challenge. He approached people from all over the company with tasks, instructions or challenges for them to complete. These ideas would both prepare the wrestlers for their matches while hopefully attract attention and promote the show in the process. The end result is probably the most fun I’ve had seeing a build up for a show like this in a while. Many of the challenges won’t actually apply to the matches themselves once they take place but following everyone’s adventures to get here was a nice way to get more emotional investment in the roster, especially for the lower card wrestlers. Back when DDT first ran Sumo Hall in 2009, part of its success was built on the company being the little engine that could with everyone involved doing their part to sell tickets. It’s silly to call TJPW an underdog with the corporate backing they have these days but given the similar age the company is in here to DDT back then (DDT was 12 years old in 2009, TJPW is currently 12 now), the effort being put in feels like a spiritual successor in a way.

The question I have now going into the show is will this whole thing work out in the box office? TJPW got 1,714 fans in Sumo Hall for 2022 (pandemic era) and 2,349 fans for 2024. Looking at the events page on the TJPW site, a lot of the floor seats have sold out. Although having been in Ryogoku myself recently and seeing first hand what the layout is like, the one person per box seat layout means that isn’t really as big an amount as it sounds. Also pro wrestling is one of those events nowadays where the most expensive tickets almost always sell out to the hardcores even when the standard tickets don’t sell like hot cakes. I personally would be thrilled to see the show at least break the 3,000 mark and go beyond that. I would also be tugging at the collar if it can’t break 2,500 but that’s just projections coming from a fan.

1. Uta Takami Vs Shion Kanzaki

Road To Success Challenge: Shion Kanzaki must perform a live street show by singing and playing the guitar right in the heart of Shinjuku.

We start off with the brightest star of the “Next Generation” taking on the most recent rookie to debut. Uta Takami had been breaking out of the young pack with some in-ring success that is catching up to her endlessly energetic personality. She won the Next Generation Tournament last Autumn and followed up a few months later with a performance that took her all the way to the Max Heart Tournament final. She’s also become creative with her photoshops on Twitter to promote her matches. Now Takami is being entrusted with the opening singles match of the show. Things are looking up (up) for this member of The Up Up Girls.

Shion Kanzaki only just made her debut on 4th January and if there’s a similarity I can make for her, it would be towards HIMAWARI. This is someone who when they only just wrestled their first match, they already looked like a perfect fit for TJPW and fitted in like they’ve already been there this whole time. That doesn’t mean I expect Kanzaki to be giving out Jackhammers like HIMAWARI does anytime soon. She’s still finding herself by fighting up from the bottom. Given her previous history from being in a band, Sasadango instructed her to go sing as a busker in the lively streets of Shinjuku. She was only able to do one song before an unusual interruption brought her session to an end. More will be explained in the next match.

2. Iron Man Heavymetalweight Title – Staggered Entry Battle Royal: Antonio Honda (c) Vs Sumire Uesaka Vs Rika Tatsumi/Great Wakabayashi-kun 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)

Road To Success Challenge: Tetsuya Koda must find a famous guest from outside of wrestling who is big enough to sell out Ryogoku all by themselves and have them make their pro wrestling debut.

Road To Success Challenge: Rika Tatsumi needs to delve into her inner madness.

Road To Success Challenge: Minimo must master a special move through intensive training!

Road To Success Challenge: Sanshiro Takagi must scout another idol to make her pro wrestling debut.

Where do I even begin with this? I think starting with the Iron Man Heavymetalweight Title makes the most sense. The championship usually belongs to DDT but thanks to the 24/7 rule, a bunch of different events going back to last summer led it to finding a second home in TJPW. DDT recently got their belt back thanks to Antonio Honda but there is paranoia among management (particularly the DDT GM Hisaya Imabayashi) that Honda could end up losing the belt to a New Japan wrestler, which is the last thing DDT wants. At the time of writing Honda is currently the title holder but there are several people hunting him down just so they have a chance to say they will defend a championship inside Sumo Hall this weekend.

Okay class you’ll need to open up your history books because we’re about to delve into 1970s NJPW for this part. TJPW’s boss Tetsuya Koda was tasked by Sasadango to go find a big star for the show. It must be someone famous enough to sell out Sumo Hall by themselves and they also must be from outside the wrestling scene. Koda had no luck finding anyone to pass this challenge and pretty much gave up on it. Then a weird bit of fortune came his way when he accompanied Shion Kanzaki for her Shinjuku busking. As they were promoting the Sumo Hall show, a saber was suddenly thrown their direction. From out of nowhere the famous singer and voice actress Sumire Uesaka (who once sold out Ryogoku with a solo concert) appeared wearing an Indian robe. She attacked Koda with the saber while ranting about the Iron Man Title she once held a year ago. The incident got coverage in Tokyo Sports where it was compared to Tiger Jeet Singh attacking Antonio Inoki at the same Shinjuku spot back in 1973. They interviewed Uesaka where she explained she accidentally grabbed her saber instead of her umbrella before leaving her home that day (we’ve all been there) and she has no memory of anything that happened afterward. However she also revealed she got hooked on Showa era pro wrestling as a teenager after listening to Singh’s entrance song. She loves the dynamic of strong style Japanese wrestlers fighting villainous foreigners of all shapes and sizes. She has no wrestling skills but will bring the saber along with her as a good luck charm. Then when she found out a wrestler with the name Antonio was now the champion, she declared war on him for the belt! Honda’s response is he will target Uesaka’s arm if they have to fight. That way if she ends up getting hurt, an injured arm won’t get in the way of her voice acting career.

Now here is where things get messy. There are so many other people in this match with their own stories to tell! Well, most of them do. Rika Tatsumi was told by Sasadango to go in search of her inner madness. Tatsumi didn’t understand what he meant because according to her, she is a pure idol wrestler and not a psychopath in any way. She went forth on her journey anyway and got to meet her comedy hero Cookie! to learn how to hone in her more insane instincts. The result of this is the creation of a new persona called The Great Wakabayashi-kun and TJPW are expecting Tatsumi to show it off in the Battle Royal. Speaking of new personas, the masked cassowary Kaya Toribami has now turned into a ninja called Sakura Hattori. The change happened when she went to visit ninja master Genichi Mitsuhashi in Iga City for ninja training and then discovered a mysterious faceguard that seemed to possess her. Hattori has since gone on a four match winning streak that happened during the Texas tour while showing some change in personality. She still appears and interacts with others outside of matches but in the ring Hattori has a more aggressive moveset than last time. She needs to be quicker doing the nine hand seals pose on the top rope though. Maybe in her mind she’s doing it lightning fast but in the real world it takes forever before she completes it.

There are special guests taking part in the match too. Matcha is coming over from Thailand to continue TJPW’s working relationship with SETUP. She recently beat Hattori/Toribami to take the IWA Japan SETUP World Tag Team Titles away from K!SS// and this could be their next meeting in the ring. Momo Sato is another celebrity entry. She is here because Sanshiro Takagi was ordered to scout a new idol to make their wrestling debut. Takagi found out that DDT wrestler Daichi Sato has a little sister in the group Harajuku Gakuen who already has some experience with pro wrestling training. When Takagi convinced Momo to take part, Sasadango applauded him for achieving the perfect combination of a nepotism hire with sky high potential. The last piece of pop culture to fill out the field is Minimo-chan, the mascot from the 2000s idol group Minimoni. It will be accompanied by one of its members Mari Yaguchi thanks to a business hookup that took place when TJPW held a show in Malaysia last year. Minimo-chan was instructed by Sasadango to go learn a devastating finishing move for its debut. After some heavy training where Mahiro Kiryu was used as the crash test dummy, Minimo-chan developed a new finishing move called the Drink Some Delicious Milk Pyon! Kick. In the meantime the mascot has been watching AJPW tapes, becoming a big fan of Steve Williams, Doug Furnas and Dan Kroffat in the process. So if anybody complains about this match for being too silly, tell them it is directly influenced by the glory days of New Japan and All Japan.

The Battle Royal also has Raku, Mifu Ashida, Kira Summer and Chika Nanase all taking part but to be honest they are all getting overshadowed by the idols, psychos, ninjas, mascots and tributes to pro wrestling from five decades ago… How the fuck does this Battle Royal have more stories to talk about than the Royal Rumble this year?

3. HIMAWARI & Shino Suzuki Vs Toga & Ren Konatsu

Road To Success Challenge: Shino Suzuki must play Rock Paper Scissors against influencers with a combined total of 100,000+ followers on social media and keep playing until she beats three of them.

Road To Success Challenge: To improve her sharpness, Ren Konatsu must take dance lessons at LDH!

I brought up HIMAWARI earlier as a potential path for growth in regards to Kanzaki. Someone who immediately fits in with the company upon debut and gradually work up the card. Another key milestone for a TJPW wrestler like this is to find a connection with another wrestler and form a tag team with them. HIMAWARI did that by forming the Bumping gRitters with Shino Suzuki. They’re still in the early phase where they are pretty much the likeable losers of the division but a match on a show like this is usually a good sign that a team will be moving up a step. The entire build up to this match was pretty much an excuse to find out what the mental breaking point is for Suzuki. Even at the best of times she turns into a cramped up ball of anxiety when thrown into a competitive environment so Sasadango came up with the bright idea to lean into it. He challenged Suzuki to go find influencers with over 100,000 followers and challenge them to games of Rock Paper Scissors (plus an added rule where you have to make them flinch in the right direction after winning). Suzuki would need to keep on doing this until she could beat three influencers. She eventually passed the challenge with a 3-2 record and hopefully she will come out of the experience with a newly enforced iron will. Although I’m struggling to think of any situation where picking scissors will beat taking an Elbow Strike from Toga.

Toga has spent the last few months levelling up in her own way. She formed a tag team with Yuna Manase called Hot Shot and the relationship allowed her to make a rare outside appearance in order to wrestle on a Ganbare☆Pro show. With some new experiences boldening her up, Toga wanted to prove she can go win by herself. She’s continuing to find new ways of stretching her wings by taking an outside booking at Las Vegas during Wrestlemania Week too. She might wind up being a good influence for a rookie like Ren Konatsu to look up to. Konatsu is starting to progress at a nice pace. Having Kanzaki debut means she has somebody below her on the pecking order to win matches against. She now has her first finishing move called the Aries Comet added to her arsenal. Plus she was given a task by Sasadango too. She had to go take dance lessons at a studio owned by LDH (the entertainment agency Kaisei Takechi belongs to). Konatsu claims she is already noticing an improvement to the Aries Comet because of this training so the Bumping gRitters better watch out!

4. Shoko Nakajima, Yuki Aino & Haru Kazashiro (w/ Ninja Red, Geki Red & Go-On Red) Vs Aja Kong, VENY & Pom Harajuku

Road To Success Challenge: The ToJo Tokusatsu Club must take part in “Fireball Return Training” as seen in Episode #19 of Gekisou Sentai Carranger.

If you haven’t noticed with TJPW, there is a lot of social activity that goes on within the locker room. Long lasting friendships are made away from the wrestling ring as the wrestlers get to know each other further and find out they share similar interests. The ToJo Tokusatsu Club is an example of this for the wrestlers who obsess over Super Sentai. The club originally existed for Shoko Nakajima, Nodoka Tenma & Yuki Aino to show off their hobby during shows but disappeared after Tenma retired. When Haru Kazashiro joined TJPW and expressed her love for tokusatsu, the club returned with a big goal in mind. They want to teach children that pro wrestling can make dreams come true so what better way to do that than to invite the Super Sentai over to Sumo Hall where they can all fight kaiju together!

The timing of this collaboration confused me because Super Sentai only just recently ended its fifty year run on television. The rumour is it happened because a falling out between Toei and Hasbro over the handling of source material and merchandising for Super Sentai and Power Rangers going forward. Heck if I know if that’s true but CyberFight went and organized something with the Super Sentai anyway. The ToJo Tokusatsu Club will be joined by Ninja Red, Geki Red & Go-On Red for their match as the club takes on a trio of the nastiest villains you can think of.

Well, sort of. Max The Impaler was meant to be part of the match but unfortunately couldn’t get a travel visa approved in time so they have to miss the show. At least this allows me to type out the sentence “The kaiju could not appear because of visa problems” which is right up there with “The Human Torch was denied a bank loan.” Max would have reunited with both Aja Kong and Pom Harajuku, which is usually the case for Max’s appearance at TJPW’s bigger shows. Some last minute decision making has resulted in an interesting X factor being thrown into the mix. VENY will be taking the place of Max for the match. If there’s any joshi out there that can capture the bitchy energy of Rita Repulsa, it’s her.

5. Mizuki Vs Andreza Giant Panda

Road To Success Challenge: To fight off the panda, Mizuki must find and acquire a new legendary weapon.

A mystery emerged in TJPW during February when the Pico Pico Hammer belonging to Mizuki was stolen during a show held in Okayama. A clue was found when a small USA flag was left in its place. At the time I thought this was a storyline created for the Texas tour or possibly even next month’s Las Vegas show but it turned out to be something of a red herring. Instead members of New Nemuro Pro Wrestling contacted TJPW to take credit for the theft. It was one of their wrestlers Mr. USA that stole the hammer and left the flag behind but the actual mastermind behind the plot was Andreza Giant Panda! It was two years ago when Mizuki struck Andreza over the head with her hammer in a moment that went viral across the internet due to how photogenic the entire thing was. The amount of attention it had left Andreza feeling humiliated. Ever since that day he had bided his time and waited for the opportunity to get revenge. With Sumo Hall coming up, now is the time for it to take place!

Mizuki hasn’t been able to retrieve the stolen Pico Pico Hammer but the Texas tour showed that she has a spare in her collection. That won’t be enough to defeat an enraged giant panda so Sasadango came to her aid with an idea. She would have to go find a new legendary weapon to replace the hammer. Her journey (which also includes an isekai side story game TJPW made for their LINE account) led her on the path to meeting Masami Obami, the creator of Brave Bang Bravern and director of other anime in the mecha genre. With the help of Bravern itself, Obami went to work on forging the Burn Pico Pico Core Axe Hammer for Mizuki to use. Prepare for the weapon to be unleashed inside Sumo Hall this weekend!

6. Miyu Yamashita & Arisu Endo Vs Sareee & Takumi Iroha

Road To Success Challenge: Miyu Yamashita should participate in idol practice and undergo intense idol training.

The original plan for this match was for Lei Ying Lee to be a part of it. However TNA pulled Lee from the show because she was needed to wrestle at their PPV last night and presumably their TV tapings happening this weekend too. Because you see it was really important for Lee to be in a 3 Way TNA Knockouts Title match where she was about to win only to get pulled out of the ring so the champion could steal the pinfall instead. The pull out led to TNA sending an apology where they stated neither TJPW nor Lee were at fault over the situation. The English version of the news story was pretty polite but the funny thing is the Japanese report includes TJPW saying they don’t understand how this could have happened when the booking was put together and agreed to well in advance.

On the bright side, TNA’s decision has the knock-on effect of putting together a more interesting tag team match. Sareee was meant to be Lee’s partner as part of her first appearance in TJPW since 2020. The last time she was here she locked horns with Miyu Yamashita and the same plan is in place here. With Lee now out of the picture, TJPW quickly made a deal with Marvelous to replace her with Takumi Iroha. Not only are we now getting the TJPW debut of Iroha but it also means Sareee & Iroha are bringing their Spark Rush tag team over here! The positions these two currently hold in the joshi hierarchy is quite fascinating. Sareee gets to bounce between Stardom, Marigold and other companies while running her own shows while Iroha gets to do her own flirting with different joshi promotions and also NOAH too. I’m trying to think of a good comparison to their current positions and the best I can come up with is maybe Yoshihiro Takayama and Kensuke Sasaki in the late 2000s, early 2010s? Does that make Marvelous comparable to Kensuke Office? No wait, then that means Chigusa Nagayo is Kensuke Sasaki and Iroha is Katsuhiko Nakajima. If that’s the case, Yamashita would need to keep her chin tucked in for the entire match otherwise it will become a massive target… Hang on, where was I?

The hype for the match is built around everyone getting to see Yamashita fight Sareee and Iroha but that story is leaving somebody out to the side. The usually cheerful Arisu Endo isn’t happy that she’s being forgotten about by everyone else. She just as much wants a piece of Spark Rush as Yamashita does. If she gets her way she is going to shine the brightest out of anyone in the match! As I mentioned at the start of this preview, TJPW has found faith in their second generation, which Endo is a part of. A strong performance here wouldn’t shock me if it leads to her getting a main event Korakuen Hall singles match sometime later this year. Maybe at the Tokyo Princess Cup at the earliest, eh? Would that tickle anyone’s fancy? While I shouldn’t ever count out Yamashita from winning more prizes in TJPW, her focus this year seems to be on being the locker room leader while also helping out with the global expansion plans.

Yamashita was the last person to complete their challenge given to them by Sasadango. She was ordered to go take on intensive idol training. She did just that by going to visit three members of Niji No Conquistador. She learned the three most important things of being an idol from Karin Matoba, Mayu Kurihara and Yu Kawabata. They are the introduction, appealing to the fans and pulling off the idol group’s dance. I don’t know how any of those three qualities will help her deal with Spark Rush.

7. Special Tag Match: Yuka Sakazaki & KONOSUKE TAKESHITA Vs Hyper Misao & Super Sasadango Machine

We’re approaching a year since the day Konosuke Takeshita and Yuka Sakazaki revealed to the world that they are a married couple. That it took this long to book them as a tag team tells you where the state of the wrestling industry’s imagination is at nowadays. Don’t give me your excuses that Takeshita was busy wrestling for three different companies, fighting in tournaments and defending the IWGP World Heavyweight Title. Sakazaki’s only being booked whenever ROH needs to warm up somebody in order to put over someone else. Her last match on record was for TJPW back on 4th January so there’s not a lot to write about. Actually there is one thing. Sakazaki will debut a new theme song at this show called “AYAYAYAY” by Hi-yunk. Hype for the match went lopsided when Shingo Takagi and Natsupoi announced their marriage last month. Fans thought it would make a lot of sense to do a couples versus couples tag like that.

Instead the opposing team is something way more incomprehensible. Hyper Misao took it upon herself to be one of the opponents as part of a plan to acquire as many contracts for herself as possible. Her logic is if she can beat the team of Sakazaki & Takeshita then New Japan, DDT and AEW will all offer her deals to sign with them! She needed a tag team partner who acts just as outside of the box as she does in order to have a chance at winning. That’s where Sasadango comes in. It turns out that the PR in PR Ambassador does not stand for Public Relations. It infact stands for Pro Wrestling Ring and by taking on the role, Sasadango also automatically agreed to wrestle a match on the show without realizing it. He wanted no part of the until Misao talked him into it. She explained that if Sasadango’s appearance can sell even one ticket it would be worth it just to make that one fan happy. If Sasadango can’t even achieve that then there is no hope that his marketing will help sell out Sumo Hall either. Now fired up, Sasadango is ready to bring the fight towards Takeshita & Sakazaki. Not only does he want to win the same contracts that Misao wants, he is aiming to get signed by every wrestling company out there!

8. International Princess Title: MIRAI (c) Vs Suzume

It took a roundabout way to get here but we’re getting the BeeStar championship rivalry that was destined to happen one way or another. MIRAI made her return to TJPW this year and immediately staked her claim for the International Princess Title by beating Arisu Endo for the belt. The title win gave MIRAI the achievement of being the first wrestler to win championships in TJPW, Stardom and Marigold. She took care of Toga in her first defence before calling out someone very close from her past to be her next challenger. Suzume was MIRAI’s classmate and their debuts in 2019 happened only a few months apart of each other. They teamed together as BeeStar until MIRAI split from TJPW in 2021. Since then the two of them took their own paths to grow into successful wrestlers. MIRAI had stays in Stardom and Marigold until she recently moved over to her new home Michinoku Pro. In doing that she is on a wave of success that’s sailing her around Japan’s wrestling scene. Suzume meanwhile stayed in TJPW where her success came from winning the Princess Tag Team Titles as part of Daisy Monkey and also winning the International Princess Title by herself.

And it is the IP Title that brings MIRAI and Suzume together in the ring once more. As much as Suzume appreciates everything MIRAI has done for her in their early days together, the IP Title is a championship that means just as much to her. Meanwhile MIRAI is trying to add an element of TJPW Vs Michinoku Pro to the proceedings. Both women have become stars for their respective home promotions and MIRAI has often brought along M-Pro wrestlers to stand in her corner for her TJPW title matches so far. That might change with this match coming up because she offered Toga to take up that role after the two earned each other’s respect from the previous title defence. MIRAI’s work during this run is a bit odd. The ingredients are there for an inter-promotional feud to take place with MIRAI as an outsider yet she’s pretty much been welcome back with open arms and the workings are here for her to stick around on a semi-regular basis. In fact, TJPW had announced in advance that an IP Title match would take place at their Las Vegas show but they then had to walk it back when they couldn’t book MIRAI for that show. Way to paint yourself into a corner, lads. It can still go ahead if Suzume wins back the title but the way the news was announced kind of comes off as a spoiler no matter how they tried to cut it.

9. Princess Tag Team Titles: Yuki Kamifuku & Wakana Uehara (c) Vs Jessie McKay & Cassie Lee

Road To Success Challenge: Ober Eats must post images or videos that will go viral with 10,000 likes.

I think this video pretty much sums up my opinion of the match.

Look, if this was anywhere in the first seven matches of the card you would get no complaints from me. Have it be non-title, place it in Ota Ward Gymnasium or put another company’s tag belts on the line then fine, awesome, I can live with it. This is the semi-main event of a Sumo Hall show! The previous matches we got in this position with the Princess Tag Titles were The Magical Sugar Rabbits Vs Daydream and Yukiniki Vs Daisy Monkey. Those are good standards to have! Instead we’re getting Ober Eats Vs The IInspiration. Maybe it will be better than Reiwa AA Cannon Vs The Uprising from 2022 but holy hell that’s the faintest praise I can damn it with. I wonder if the plan here is to give Jessie McKay & Cassie Lee a transitional title reign in order to put over another TJPW team in Las Vegas next month.

The reason I think that is because Ober Eats is currently top of the pile in TJPW’s tag division with no nearby contenders in sight. They became the first team to ever win the Max Heart Tournament while holding the Princess Tag Titles. With Sumo Hall next on their list, Yuki Kamifuku & Wakana Uehara asked for a team more glamourous and buzzworthy than them to be their challengers. They’re thrilled with The IInspiration being chosen for them as a more global challenge to surpass. To help them build up the hype, Sasadango told Ober Eats to go viral on social media by getting 10,000 likes. Kamifuku put out a video of her walking through the streets in her wrestling costume. At the time of writing it is sitting pretty at 6,600+ likes. Meanwhile Uehara unintentionally smashed through the challenge without trying when a picture of her meeting the Buc-ee’s mascot hit 10,000 likes within the day it was posted. (Her actual tweet for the challenge only reached 2,500+ likes). I swear, sometimes everything just goes that girl’s way. Except when it doesn’t, like when The IInspiration beat her in Austin earlier this month as a preview for what’s to come.

10. Princess Of Princess Title: Miu Watanabe (c) Vs Yuki Arai

Is TJPW King’s Road? I’m not joking when I ask this because the rivalry between Miu Watanabe and Yuki Arai over the last two months is the closest thing to the King’s Road philosophy that anyone is doing right now. That philosophy is not dangerous head drops or finisher kick outs. It is telling the story of a rivalry that progresses match by match as the two adversaries figure each other out step by step. And if that means taking a big flat back bump or two onto the floor along the way then so be it.

Watanabe has been enjoying a six month reign as the Princess Of Princess Champion. She has overcome her mental block over whether she fights like a princess or like a monster and has been racking up the usual amount of title defences a typical Princess champion would get for her reign. She also has a match of the year contender with Suzume from 4th January that will likely be remembered as the peak of this title run. TJPW threw together a 6 Way Elimination to determine the No. 1 Contender and Arai came out on top, going as far as to submit Yamashita to win the match. She failed to win the Princess Title in her first attempt last year so now the story is will her inevitable push to a title win happen the second time?

Last month at Korakuen Hall was where the fun began. A preview tag match featuring the two of them took a turn when they fought each other on the ring apron. Arai won the exchange in an extreme manner by using the Full Nelson Buster to throw Watanabe from the apron onto the floor! From that point forward, it was on! Arai put more focus on using the Scorpion Death Lock to win matches while also introducing a new Twister Brainbuster to beat lesser opponents. Watanabe then got to make Arai give up to the Canadian Backbreaker only to get a taste of her own medicine in the next battle after that. Watanabe is sometimes seen having tape strips applied to her back and while the story isn’t yelling to everybody on a loudspeaker that she isn’t 100%, Arai’s use of the Scorpion Death Lock was able to make Watanabe tap out on one occasion during the series. With that being said, any fear of Watanabe having a serious back injury was put to bed after that when she found ways to power her way straight out of Arai’s finishing move in order to turn it into a Giant Swing. The two most recently exchanged wins during the Texas tour. Watanabe has the most recent direct victory while Arai got a moral one by hitting the Finally axe kick after being unable to do so match after match until the end.

As we now finally approach Sumo Hall it’s been something of a stalemate between champion and challenger. Or at least when one of them gets ahead it’s never far enough to prevent the other from catching up and overtaking them. The winner of this match will be heading over to Vegas where they will defend the title against the new American Gladiator J-Rod. That is a match we’ve seen with Watanabe already while it would be something completely fresh for Arai. However international shows such as that is where you can get away with burning a rematch that doesn’t need to be done back in the home market. The reign Watanabe is on has no need to be stopped right now and this build up has done wonders for making Arai an interesting rival for her. Should Arai win the title the question I have for her is can she stay this interesting against other opponents? If she has figured out how to be more dynamic with laying out her matches then maybe the time is now to pull the trigger on her. But if it was up to me I’m more interested in seeing Watanabe hold on for whoever wins the Princess Cup later this year.

DDT also has their sponsorship with Yamada Suisan going on for another year. The seafood wrestling storyline has taken a turn with the appearance of Unagi Mask Woman. She was said to be just a Yamada Suisan employee who wanted to become a pro wrestler but the real story is that she, Unagi Mask and Super Unagi Mask are all siblings who spent their lives near each other without ever knowing about it! The family needs to be a united force because Chris Brookes & Antonio Honda have formed an alliance with Aja Kong to wipe out the sea food loving wrestlers!

4. Special 6-Man Tag Match: Shishamo Power, Unagi Mask & Gota Ihashi defeated Yuki Iino, Yukio Naya & Tomomitsu Matsunaga when Shishamo pinned Matsunaga with the Fisher’s Buster (9:33).
5. KO-D Tag Team Titles: MAO & KANON (c) (w/ KIMIHIRO) defeated Danshoku Dieno & Super Sasadango Machine when KANON pinned Dieno with the Lariat (18:47).
*V4 for STRANGE LOVE CONNECTION.
6. KO-D 6-Man Tag Team Titles: Takeshi Masada, Yuya Koroku & Daichi Sato defeated Yuki Ueno, To-y & Kaisei Takechi (c) when Masada pinned Takechi with the Masada No Chikara KOBU Mukimuki (18:25).
*Yuki Ueno, To-y & Kaisei Takechi fail in V3. paleyouth become the 60th KO-D 6-Man Tag Team Champions!

The new generation is on a roll, paleyouth have already become champions and they’ve done it at Kaisei Takechi’s expense! Takechi & The 37KAMIINA almost wiped out the challengers completely with a triple Topé Con Hilo. They then targeted Takeshi Masada by having Takechi & To-y Double Choke Slam him followed by Yuki Ueno landing the Frog Splash. However Yuya Koroku went ahead and took out Ueno & To-y, then Daichi Sato helped Masada bring down Takechi. Masada then got to beat Takechi for the first time by giving him the Masada No Chikara KOBU Mukimuki to win the KO-D 6-Man Tag Team Titles!

After the match, Masada praised Takechi for growing so much and said whenever they fight each other they click so well. When the former champions made their exit, paleyouth quickly found out who their first challengers were going to be. Harimao walked out and Naomi Yoshimura said he, Ryota Nakatsu & Yuki Ishida wanted a title shot. Masada called Harimao a perfect match for paleyouth and he accepts the challenge for 22nd March at DDT’s 28th Anniversary show. Backstage Masada was happy with the recent turn of events. paleyouth was only made official a few days ago and they already won a championship and he got to avenge his previous losses to Takechi too. Meanwhile Takechi said he was frustrated over losing a second match in a row and he actually feels a little insulted by Masada’s praise for him. Ueno reminded him of his goal to wrestle in King Of DDT and also at Sumo Hall later this year. He is sure Takechi will get there.

Any hopes that Danshoku Dieno & Super Sasadango Machine had of CyberAgent exploiting their likenesses for trading cards and gacha games have gone out the window after the pair failed to win the KO-D Tag Team Titles. Instead it is Strange Love Connection that are currently in the better position to become the faces of DDT. KANON in particular got the brunt of the lewd attacks from the followers yet he figured out how to turn the tide against them. He pulled down his own costume to fight in his underwear and resist Dieno’s Raw Danshoku Claw before taking him down with the Lariat for the victory. KANON told everyone afterwards he has exposed everything about himself and has nothing left to show because he wants to become the new icon of DDT. Today he has beaten two DDT icons so now he must beat the biggest icon Ueno to become the new KO-D Openweight Champion!

The return of the Yamada Suisan pro wrestlers sets up DDT’s annual sponsored matches with the seafood company for this year. Shishamo Power & Unagi Mask teamed up with Gota Ihashi to win their match then had an announcement to make afterward. Ihashi works for the Tsukiji branch of Yamada Suisan and he met a woman there who wants to become a pro wrestler. A masked woman named Unagi Mask Woman entered the ring and did the splits to pose for everyone. However her big moment was interrupted by Chris Brookes & Antonio Honda attacking Ihashi until Super Unagi Mask came to the rescue. Honda challanged the seafood wrestlers to a match and told them that Aja Kong will be teaming with FANTÔMES DRAMATIC! The president of Yamada Suisan then had a shocking confession to make. The three masked wrestlers are all siblings who were seperated at birth! The “Unagi Brothers” must now join forces to face Kong & FANTÔMES DRAMATIC on 19th April. Ihashi complained about being left out so he was offered a chance to team with Shishamo Power on the same show.

After spending such a long time away from DDT, the Iron Man Heavymetalweight Title has come back home. At least for now. Antonio Honda caused a scene after the Tokyo Joshi Pro dark match by attacking everyone with Gongitsune and winning the belt off of Rika Tatsumi. Then later in the show Honda was told by Hisaya Imabayashi that he will face YOH on 15th April. Honda said he will look forward to defending the Iron Man Title against him but then he was suddenly blindsided by Imabayashi! The GM knocked out Honda with the title and pinned him to become the champion, explaining afterward that he cannot risk losing a DDT championship to a New Japan wrestler. Imabayashi was then approached by Akito at the end of the show because a special match was being booked for 22nd March. Imabayashi must defend the title in a 1 Vs 6 Handicap Match and one of his opponents will be Minoru Suzuki! Imabayashi complained especially since Akito was making decisions involving the DDT GM without being a GM himself. Akito told him that company directors are above company general managers. Sanshiro Takagi then tried to ambush Imabayashi to win the title but Akito broke the pin and allowed Imabayashi to escape with the belt.

The Iron Man Title changes today created a bit of a problem for the upcoming schedule. The belt is meant to be on the line in a Battle Royal at TJPW’s Sumo Hall show at the end of the month. It turns out that is still going to happen, which means if Imabayashi somehow survives the DDT Anniversary show still as champion he will then get to defend the belt at Sumo Hall on a TJPW show! When Imabayashi learned about that scenario being possible, he became motivated to hold onto the title as best as he can until 29th March.

A No. 1 Contenders match for the KO-D Tag Titles was later announced for 22nd March. Chris Brookes & HARASHIMA will face Shinya Aoki & Junta Miyawaki. The winners will face MAO & KANON for the tag titles on 5th April.

A new championship has been created exclusively for a series of sponsored shows DDT will run in conjunction with the Matsui Outlet Park later this year. The first MOP Tag Team Champions will be crowned on 28th March. After that there are two other DDT x MOP shows scheduled for April where presumably a title defence or two can take place there.

Chika is coming over from Pro Wrestling Evolution.

Munetatsu Nakamura is still undergoing rehabilitation for his neck injury. It’s been decided his goal of returning to the ring this month will not happen and he will remain out of action during March. GanPro along with Nakamura’s doctor all want to ensure he is in top condition when he is ready to wrestle again.

Shinjuku FACE

0. Dark Match – Tokyo Joshi Pro Offer Match: Yuki Kamifuku & Kira Summer Vs Rika Tatsumi & Uta Takami
1. Jun Akiyama & Kazuki Hirata Vs HARASHIMA & Antonio Honda

6. KO-D 6-Man Tag Team Titles: Yuki Ueno, To-y & Kaisei Takechi (c) Vs Takeshi Masada, Yuya Koroku & Daichi Sato

A new unit is developing among the D GENERATIONS wrestlers. Takeshi Masada & Yuya Koroku decided to create a new stable focused on their age group and Daichi Sato agreed to join them. They don’t have a name at the moment so are temporarily being referred to as the New Generation Army. Since they already consist of three people they are going to fight for the KO-D 6-Man Tag Team Titles as their first big challenge. Kaisei Takechi is itching to wrestle again sooner than scheduled so he along with Yuki Ueno & To-y are ready to defend their titles next week.

We’re approaching that time of year when DDT holds sponsored matches with the Yamada Suisan seafood company. That means the return of the masked seafood themed wrestlers Shishamo Power and Unagi Mask. The match also sees Yuki Iino return to action after he’s been away training for his American Football team.

A bonus dark match is being provided by Tokyo Joshi Pro. At the time of writing Rika Tatsumi is still the Iron Man Heavymetalweight Champion. Could the belt be going back home to DDT? Not if she has any say in it. Her goal as the champion is to bring the title all the way to TJPW’s Sumo Hall show at the end of the month.

DDT “JUDGEMENT 2026 ~29TH ANNIVERSARY CELEBRATION 5 HOUR SPECIAL~”, 22/03/2026
Tokyo Korakuen Hall

1. Special Single Match ~ Shunma Katsumata Return Match: MAO Vs Shunma Katsumata
2. Dramatic Dream Match: KONOSUKE TAKESHITA Vs Kazuki Hirata (w/ John Robinson)
3. DDT Extreme Title: To-y (c) Vs Hideki Okatani
4. DDT Universal Title: Daisuke Sasaki (c) Vs Kazuma Sumi
5. KO-D Openweight Title: Yuki Ueno (c) Vs KANON

If it’s all been fun and games for To-y so far as the DDT Extreme Champion then Hideki Okatani is here to bring an end to it. To-y is gradually approaching the record for most Extreme Title defences in a single reign but Okatani is accusing him of padding out wins by only fighting old washed up wrestlers. To-y argues against that because some of his challengers so far have been from their own generation too.

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

1. Mizuki Vs Andreza Giant Panda
2. Shoko Nakajima, Yuki Aino & Haru Kazashiro (w/ Super Sentai) Vs Aja Kong, Max The Impaler & Pom Harajuku
3. Special Tag Match: Yuka Sakazaki & KONOSUKE TAKESHITA Vs Hyper Misao & Super Sasadango Machine
4. International Princess Title: MIRAI (c) Vs Suzume
5. Princess Tag Team Titles: Yuki Kamifuku & Wakana Uehara (c) Vs Jessie McKay & Cassie Lee
6. Princess Of Princess Title: Miu Watanabe (c) Vs Yuki Arai

Apparently TJPW went and did it. They struck a deal to have something Super Sentai related to show up at Sumo Hall and be involved with the ToJo Tokusatsu Club’s match. At least I think that is what’s happening. I’m confused because I thought the TV show just ended recently to be replaced with a similar substitute for reasons that involve the studio moving on from a copyright deadlock. I guess we’ll find out at Sumo Hall what the Super Sentai collaboration will look like. Maybe the Tokusatsu Club gets to morph into their own Super Sentai outfits before they go out and fight Pompaler & Aja Kong. Actually they should go full Kaiju Big Battel and have the ring filled with small cardboard buildings for everyone to smash and slam each other on.

The Tokusatsu Club recently completed their “fireball return” training but since fire was absolutely prohibited, they ended up doing batting practice with Tetsu Inada instead. There are updates for some of the other Super Sasadango Machine PR tasks to catch up on. The roster has spent the last few days putting up posters for the show around Tokyo. Minimo-chan has taken up weight training for its debut match. Shino Suzuki is finding more and more influencers to challenge for games of Rock Paper Scissors but has only beaten one opponent so far. She has to keep doing this until she beats two more.

Sasadango has also come up with more challenges for the wrestlers who haven’t been given any tasks yet. He has asked Shion Kanzaki to hold a street performance in the heart of Shinjuku. Meanwhile Miyu Yamashita was told to take on intensive idol training.
