7. 13th Tokyo Princess Cup – Semi Final: Suzume Vs HIMAWARI

A back injury has taken Mahiro Kiryu off of Sunday’s Tokyo Joshi Pro show so it has caused a big change to the middle of the card. Yuki Yuki Yuki are no longer going to face each other in a 3 Way Match. Instead Yuki Arai, Yuki Kamifuku & Yuki Aino are all united as a trio once more for a 6-Woman Tag Match. A few other matches have bodies swapped around which somehow left Pom Harajuku now having to go face Miyu Yamashita all by herself.

A rare opportunity has come up for someone to break the record of becoming the youngest KO-D Openweight Champion ever. One day after Daichi Sato turns 18 years old he will challenge the new champion MAO for DDT’s biggest prize.

Shunma Katsumata has decided this run as the DDT Extreme Champion will be spent feeling how his challengers take in pro wrestling. Kumadori is first up with the dancer wanting to go as far as he can so he can be seen as something other than a guest wrestler by DDT fans.

There will be a full reunion of Smile Squash to mark Soma Takao’s impending exit from DDT. All four mainstay members will be reunited for the first time since 2017 for an 8-Man Tag Match.

“SHINJUKU FACE COUNTDOWN SERIES ~MEISHIN KOKOTSU~”, 30/09/2026
Shinjuku FACE

1. ~Many Thanks Battle Royal~: X Vs X
2. ~Go to the NEXT~: Ilusion & Homare Vs Shota Kofuji & Masami Inahata
3. ~THE FACE GENERATION~: MAO, Yuki Ueno & Chris Brookes Vs Dragon Kid, Yuma Aoyagi & Kuroshio TOKYO Japan
4. ~W-FACE FINAL~: Aja Kong & Chihiro Hashimoto Vs Mayumi Ozaki & Sareee

The main event has been decided for the very last wrestling show held inside Shinjuku FACE and it is the most fitting one they could have thought of. The main event of the very first show held in the venue 21 years ago was Mayumi Ozaki & Dynamite Kansai against Aja Kong & Manami Toyota. Only Ozaki and Kong are still active out of those four so they are going against each other in another tag match. This time Kong is teaming up with Chihiro Hashimoto from Sendai Girls while Ozaki must fight side by side with Sareee!

You can’t close down Shinjuku FACE if Kuroshio TOKYO Japan never finishes his entrance! Maybe the same goes for if Dragon Kid horizontally grabs onto a ring post and wiggles his body out of reach for the staff to grab him. Can’t rely on Yuma Aoyagi, he won’t do anything about it.

The participants in the Battle Royal will not be revealed until the day of the show. It will be a Royal Rumble style match.

The match order other than the main event will not be decided until the day of the show.


MAO And Dieno Have Matches In Dragon Gate

September 24, 2025

DRAGON GATE “THE GATE OF MIYANE 2025”, 24/09/2025
Tokyo Korakuen Hall
1,268 Fans – No Vacancy

3. Danshoku Dieno, Masaaki Oka & Don Fujiko defeated KAI, BxB Hulk & Hyo when Dieno pinned KAI with the Danshoku Driver (9:16).
*Special Referee: Seiji Miyane
6. Art Moving Center Presents: Yuki Yoshioka & MAO defeated Dragon Kid & Dragon Dia when Yoshioka pinned Dia with the High Fly Flow (12:52).

Now this brings me back. Remember the Dramatic Dream Gate series of shows? Well it hasn’t been revived but today’s Dragon Gate show had some DDT involvement in it. It was a show produced by the TV personality Seiji Miyane so it wasn’t the usual wrestling card you would come to expect from Dragon Gate. For example MAO had a match where he teamed up with Yuki Yoshioka. The two were paired together because they look alike but the match was also sponsored by a transportation company so they both entered through the audience dressed like delivery men. They took the match against Dragon Kid & Dragon Dia seriously though. A double dive where MAO took out Kid at ringside while Yoshioka landed the High Fly Flow on Dia was the big finish at the end. MAO said he already has many friends and enemies named Yuki in DDT so he is happy to meet another one. He thinks it would be a shame to leave this inter-promotional relationship where it is and not do anything further.

There was another match involving a DDT wrestler and that just so happened to be Danshoku Dieno. He was put in a comedic 6-Man Tag where wrestlers had to kiss their opponents during the pin attempt for it to be counted. Dieno however warned Miyabe that such a stipulation was very dangerous especially to referees. So he left a spare ref shirt aside for Miyabe to wear if an emergency was to happen. Also Masaaki Mochizuki & Don Fujii both showed up dressed in drag. They chased after Hyo while KAI & BxB Hulk fell victim to Dieno’s Hell Gate in the corner. The ref Takayuki Yagi also suffered that cursed fate, causing Miyabe to put the spare ref shirt on and take his place. He counted Dieno pinning KAI to end the match but Dieno got to give him a Lip Lock too after the match.

Oh and Minoru Suzuki brought the DDT Universal Title with him for the main event. That was nice of him.
