May 31, 2026

GANBARE☆PRO “PHENOMENA 2026”, 31/05/2026
Kanagawa Yokohama Industrial Trade Hall
196 Fans

1. Keisuke Ishii defeated Sentaro Motoshima with a Knee Drop (8:07).
2. Moeka Haruhi & Yuuka defeated YuuRi & Kirari Wakana when Haruhi pinned Wakana with the Ojousama Clutch (15:20).
3. Ken Ohka & Munetatsu Nakamura defeated Mizuki Watase & Shota Kawakami when Nakamura pinned Kawakami with the Octopus Killer (14:01).
4. Yumehito Imanari, Shinichiro Tominaga & Shigehiro Irie defeated Shuichiro Katsumura, Minoru Fujita & Gouma Ryu when Tominaga pinned Ryu with a Moonsault Press (16:18).
5. Spirit Of Ganbare World Tag Team Titles: Takuya Wada & Tyson Maeguchi (c) defeated Akira Shoji & Hideki “Shrek” Sekine when Maeguchi pinned Shoji with the Kaibutsu Goroshi (13:28).
*V1 for The Deadlock.

Pride FC nostalgia can only take you so far these days and that kind of fighting spirit wasn’t enough to beat The Deadlock today. Hideki Sekine used his size and weight to throw the champions around but after he gave Takuya Wada a German Suplex, Tyson Maeguchi knocked him back with a Lariat. Maeguchi then avoided a Brainbuster from Akira Shoji and broke him down with knee strikes and kicks until a strong Middle Kick kept him down for the three count. The two teams shook hands afterwards and Maeguchi began asking if they could make a title challenge of his own? He called out Mizuki Watase and asked him for a match with the Spirit Of Ganbare World Title on the line. Then after that Watase can bring in a tag partner for a shot at the Spirit Of Ganbare World Tag Team Titles later down the line. Michiyoshi Mishima said he can book the SOG Title match first for 14th June. Backstage Watase said he might choose Shigehiro Irie as his partner because they already held the SOG Tag Titles together before. But he could go another direction and pick either Jun Kasai or even Rukiya instead.

Had things turned out differently during the show, Watase would have had a different opponent for his next title defence. Munetatsu Nakamura tried to approach him before their tag match began but Shota Kawakami cut him off. Nakamura ended up beating him using an Arm Clutch Belly-To-Belly Suplex called the Octopus Killer. That turned out to be a fitting name because Mishima then announced that Nakamura will be facing Chris Brookes at the 15th August Korakuen Hall show! Nakamura told the fans his history with Brookes from being a fan of his into becoming his friend. Brookes has done so much to help Nakamura out when he was injured including partially paying for his medical treatment. Nakamura asked Mishima to make this match happen on a Ganbare☆Pro because he thinks the best way of paying Brookes back is to beat him in a wrestling match.

Shino Taking Time Off, GanPro Going All In On MMA Tag Teams, Other Injury News

May 18, 2026

I am going travelling this week so there may be some delays in posting results and other news. Things will be back to normal service before the King Of DDT finals happen at the end of the month.

DDT “D GENERATIONS 9”, 20/05/2026
Tokyo Ueno Park Outdoor Stage

1. Ali Najima Vs Hinata Kasai
2. Hideki Okatani & Ilusion Vs Yuya Koroku & Yuki Ishida
3. Special Single Match: Kazuma Sumi Vs Yuni
4. Special Single Match: Munetatsu Nakamura Vs Rukiya
5. Takeshi Masada Produce Match – No Throwing Moves Match: Takeshi Masada Vs To-y

With the weekend now passed, Masami Inahata has not been medically cleared to return from his back injury. He will now miss this week’s D GENERATIONS show. Rukiya’s new opponent is Munetatsu Nakamura from Ganbare☆Pro.

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “TJPW SPRING TOUR 2026 ~NEXT DOOR~ IN SHINJUKU”, 22/05/2026
Shinjuku FACE

1. Pom Harajuku Vs Mifu Ashida
2. Raku Vs Kira Summer
3. Yuki Aino & Haru Kazashiro Vs Arisu Endo & Shion Kanzaki
4. Shoko Nakajima & Hyper Misao Vs HIMAWARI & Ren Konatsu
5. Miyu Yamashita & Sakura Hattori Vs Toga & Chika Nanase
6. Yuki Arai, Miu Watanabe, Rika Tatsumi & Suzume Vs Yuki Kamifuku, Mizuki, Uta Takami & Mahiro Kiryu

Shino Suzuki will be taking a leave of absence from both her pro wrestling and idol careers to recover from health issues. Her doctor diagnosed that she needed treatment and rest from her activities until they and Tokyo Joshi Pro can determine when she will be cleared to return.

The 3 Way Match that Suzuki was booked for later this week will now be just a singles match between Pom Harajuku and Mifu Ashida.

DDT “KING OF DDT 2026 FINAL!!”, 31/05/2026
Tokyo Korakuen Hall

1. King Of DDT – Semi Final: Minoru Suzuki Vs Shinya Aoki
2. King Of DDT – Semi Final: MAO Vs Danshoku Dieno
3. KO-D 6-Man Tag Team Titles: Takeshi Masada, Yuya Koroku & Daichi Sato (c) Vs Shunma Katsumaa, Yuni & Kazuma Sumi
4. King Of DDT – Final: X Vs X

The majority of D GENERATIONS are filling up the next KO-D 6-Man Tag Team Titles match. Yuni summoned up the courage to challenge paleyouth for the titles because NωA Jr. only held the belts for a very short amount of time last year and didn’t get to do anything with them before losing in their first defence. Kazuma Sumi also sees this as a chance to take down three rivals from his generation in one go. I have an inkling that could backfire and we end up with somebody from paleyouth as the next Japanese challenger for the DDT Universal Title.

GANBARE☆PRO “PHENOMENA 2026”, 31/05/2026
Kanagawa Yokohama Industrial Trade Hall

1. Keisuke Ishii Vs Sentaro Motoshima

5. Spirit Of Ganbare World Tag Team Titles: Takuya Wada & Tyson Maeguchi (c) Vs Akira Shoji & Hideki “Shrek” Sekine

The main event is full of faces that only their mothers could love. Takuya Wada & Tyson Maeguchi are now called The Deadlock after winning the Spirit Of Ganbare Tag Team Titles. Their first defence will be against another pair of like-minded MMA pro wrestlers: Akira Shoji & Hideki “Shrek” Sekine!

Over the weekend YuuRI suffered a minor head injury at an Ito Dojo (Kaoru Ito’s dojo) show held in Shin-Kiba. After going to the hospital, the injury and treatment was not deemed serious but YuuRI is taking this week off to recover. She will be cleared in time to wrestle at the GanPro show in Kanagawa.

A dominant Minoru Suzuki asked after the main event if this is the end of his appearances in Ganbare☆Pro and dared any of the GanPro wrestlers to approach him. Mizuki Watase did so and lifted up the Spirit Of Ganbare World Title for Suzuki to see it.

UJPW “FACE THE NEXT” Results

May 12, 2026

UJPW “FACE THE NEXT”, 12/05/2026
Shinjuku FACE
460 Fans – Super No Vacancy

1. Tatsuya Matsumoto Vs Yuto Koyanagi ended in a Time Limit draw (10:00).
2. Sentaro Motoshima, Hinata Kasai & Jiro Shinbashi defeated @KEY, Koyo Ume & Midori Takahashi when Motoshima submitted Ume with a Crab Hold (10:05).
3. Katsumi Inahata, Shota Kawakami, Masatora Yasuda & Ryuma Sekimo defeated GuC, Rukiya, Reiya Igarashi & Taisei Nakahara when Yasuda submitted Nakahara with a Crab Hold (7:12).
4. Kazumasa Yoshida, Daichi Sato & Kazuma Kimura defeated Yuki Ishida, Koshiro Asakura & Hiroto Tsuruya when Sato pinned Asakura with the Mad Splash (9:16).
5. Yuya Koroku defeated Homare with the Modified Triangle Lancer (8:33).
6. Kazuma Sumi, Munetatsu Nakamura & Ryoya Tanaka defeated Ilusion, Daiki Nagai & Daiki Odashima when Tanaka pinned Ilusion with the Stardust Press Joker Strizer (12:26).

Two years after the ill-fated “ALL TOGETHER” revival, United Japan held its third show built on a much, much smaller scale. This event was focused solely on the next generation of wrestlers provided by eight of the promotions that are members of the federation. DDT and Ganbare☆Pro were well represented on the show especially in the main event. DDT had Kazuma Sumi and Ilusion involved while Munetatsu Nakamura was there on behalf of GanPro. Ilusion didn’t get along with his tag partners and turned on them when Daiki Nagai complained about him using a Low Blow. Ilusion went to Low Blow him too but Nagai blocked it and knocked him away. Sumi & Nakamura then wiped out Nagai & Daiki Odashima with dives while Ryoya Tanaka pinned Ilusion with his own version of the Stardust Press. Sumi was happy to main event the show with the DDT Universal Title over his shoulder. Nakamura was worried about the match because it was first announced while he was recovering from his neck injury. That he made it to the match and was on the winning team means he has recovered perfectly. If there is another event like this in the future, Nakamura said he would like to either challenge Sumi for the Universal Title or challenge Tanaka for the Open The Brave Gate Title. Ilusion called the whole event incomprehensible and blamed the two Daikis, although he thinks the “Red Daiki” treated him more kindly than the “Black Daiki”. Ilusion now hopes that Daisuke Sasaki and Daiki Nagai both reach the final of the Best Of The Super Jr in New Japan so it will be a match between DAMNATION T.A and Unbound Co.!

Yuya Koroku had a lot to handle by taking on an opponent who recently lost his hair in a cage match. Homare from Dragongate took him by surprise with a Topé con Hilo and he then dragged Koroku around ringside to throw into the front rows. Homare also found Bunbun in Koroku’s corner and stomped on it. Koroku tried to make comebacks but Homare would use eye pokes to stop him. He made a mistake by going for the 450 Splash, missing it so Koroku could find his opening to take control. Homare kickedo out of the Modified Northern Lights Bomb but was forced to give up when Koroku locked him into the Triangle Lancer. Koroku said it is insane that Homare has already accomplished so much with just a year and a half of experience under his belt. Homare found Koroku interesting enough to make him think he should maybe check out DDT sometime.

There was a second trios match that had DDT wrestlers on both teams. Match #4 saw Daichi Sato pick up the win for his side while Yuki Ishida was among those heading back to lick their wounds. Sato asked his teammates if they saw the strength of DDT today? Kazumasa Yoshida won the BJW World Strong Heavyweight Title last month and is looking for challengers, so he’d like Sato or Kazuma Kimura to challenge him. Sato said of course he would take on the challenge! Kimura had to stand between the two and explain to them that he just came back from an injury that kept him out of action for eight months. He would like to wrestle both of them someday so they can start building towards that for now. That calmed Yoshida and Sato down enough for them to get along again.

Shota Kawakami found himself on the winners side of his match while DDT’s Rukiya ended up on the opposite end. Neither of them were involved in the finish though. Backstage Ryuma Sekimo encouraged Kawakami to shout out his feelings, so he did. Kawakami said the match shows that the split between major wrestling companies and indie wrestling companies doesn’t matter. He is glad that the indie wrestlers got to show the major league wrestlers what they are made of. Sekimo agreed and pointed out he may be the only person on the show to have bowled inside Ueno Park. Rukiya did not feel fulfilled after the match. He wants to do more in order to find out what is missing. Maybe it’s all of the different wrestlers from different promotions that have gathered together. He wants to fight so many of them!

GanPro comes out of the show with three wins out of three matches. Not only was Nakamura victorious in the main event but Sentaro Motoshima scored his first ever direct victory in Match #2 by making the Kyushu Pro wrestler Koyo Ume tap out! The result may be something of an upset given his tag team partners were Hinata Kasai and the Dragongate salaryman Jiro Shinbashi. Motoshima said this win is a big deal for him and he will work even harder to be a GanPro wrestler.

NJPW’s Aaron Wolf was in the corner of Tatsuya Matsumoto for the young lion’s match against Yuto Koyanagi from NOAH.

The event also featured a talk show held in the ring by Kosei Fujita and Takeshi Masada. Fujita was looking forward to seeing Ilusion wrestle in the main event while Masada hyped up Hinata Kasai for stepping in as a last minute replacement for the injured Masami Inahata. One of the questions they unexpectedly got was from Hiroshi Tanahashi asking them what their type is? As the interview segment reached its close, Fujita and Masada were asked if they would ever wrestle each other one on one? They don’t expect it to ever happen but they would like to do it.

For the semi-main event HARASHIMA is going to face Viento Maligno in a singles match. I a certain this was put together for reasons that have absolutely nothing to do with Shinya Aoki or any acquaintance of his that is currently out of sight and out of mind.

Match #4 is going to be changed because of Inahata’s injury. That match will also be the Japanese debut of Miles Karu in DDT. He is a Malaysian wrestler who previously appeared in DDT on their “LOVE & PEACE” show that was held in his country last November.

Shinjuku FACE

1. Yuki Arai, Miu Watanabe, Rika Tatsumi & Suzume Vs Yuki Kamifuku, Mizuki, Uta Takami & Mahiro Kiryu

Tokyo Joshi Pro are getting a little experimental for their usual champions versus challengers tag match. Since they have shows taking place in Tokyo and Osaka in the next couple of weeks they are booking the same match twice so fans on the west side of Japan and the east side can all go see it! Tokyo gets the match first.

Wakana Uehara will not be at the show due to a scheduling conflict.

Shinjuku FACE

Tokyo Korakuen Hall

1. King Of DDT – Semi Final: Minoru Suzuki Vs Shinya Aoki
2. King Of DDT – Semi Final: MAO Vs Danshoku Dieno
3. King Of DDT – Final: X Vs X

With four wrestlers left in the King Of DDT, only one of them is a previous winner. That’s MAO and his next opponent Danshoku Dieno last made it to the final in 2012, losing to Kenny Omega. The semi final stage is now the furthest that Shinya Aoki has ever progressed to. Minoru Suzuki is one step away from equaling the likes of T-Hawk and Yuji Hino as outsiders who reached the final in their first tournament entry.

DDT “OWARI WARS 2026”, 21/06/2026
Aichi Chunichi Hall & Conference

1. DDT Extreme Title: Hideki Okatani (c) Vs Junta Miyawaki
2. KO-D Tag Team Titles: Chris Brookes & HARASHIMA (c) Vs Yuki Ueno & To-y

The alleged future “Prince Of Nagoya” To-y wants to challenge for the KO-D Tag Team Titles and got the shot when he promised Yuki Ueno would be his tag partner. Chris Brookes is pretty confident that To-y won’t be able to beat him or HARASHIMA for the belts.

As part of Junta Miyawaki’s journey through DDT he wants to try and win the championship that bests represents DDT as a one of a kind company. That means he is going after the DDT Extreme Title. He also now has to prove to Hideki Okatani that he wants to be here and he wasn’t kicked out of NOAH.

GANBARE☆PRO “SUNSHINE CLEANING 2026” Results

May 6, 2026

GANBARE☆PRO “SUNSHINE CLEANING 2026”, 06/05/2026
Tokyo Takashimadaira Kumin Center
??? Fans

1. Moeka Haruhi defeated Chie Ozora with the Haruhi Rainbow (7:14).
2. Yuya Susumu & Reiya Igarashi defeated Keisuke Ishii & Sentaro Motoshima when Igarashi pinned Motoshima with the Fisherman Suplex (12:59).
3. Shuichiro Katsumura & YuuRI defeated Munetatsu Nakamura & Soi when YuuRI submitted Soi with the Spiral Dragon Sleeper (13:45).
4. Yumehito Imanari & Rekka defeated Mizuki Watase & Shota Kawakami when Imanari submitted Kawakami with a Headlock (18:56).
5. Ken Ohka, Akira Shoji & Shinichiro Tominaga defeated Takuya Wada, Tyson Maeguchi & Fuminori Abe when Shoji pinned Maeguchi with the Toyama Black Driver (14:23).

The main event pitted wrestlers from Toyama against wrestlers from the Kanto region. When Akira Shoji scored the winning pin on Tyson Maeguchi, it didn’t take long for Ken Ohka to brag about Toyama winning because it is more urban while Kanto is filled with country bumpkins. Ohka then said when Shoji & Hideki Sekine win the Spirit Of Ganbare Tag Team Titles, he and Shinichiro Tominaga will be the first to challenge them. Although Maeguchi lost directly to Shoji, he is still confident he can defend the tag titles against him. His reasoning is Shoji only has power and his slow speed is a big weakness that can be exploited. He also revealed he and Takuya Wada came up with a new team name. They are now called The Deadlock.

The Toyama team’s bragging didn’t go unnoticed by Shuichiro Katsumura. The Ganbare☆Pro show on 31st May with the tag title match is being held in his home city of Yokohama. He claims to have powerful allies over there so in order to counter the Toyama trio, he is forming the Yokohama City Naka Ward Association. Its three members are Katsumura, Minoru Fujita and Gouma Ryu. He warns this group is stronger than the Toyama team and he’s going to prove it!

BASARA “TRANS-AM ★ HIROSHI GOLDEN 15TH ANNIVERSARY”, 15/05/2026

5. Trans-Am ★ Hiroshi Vs Ayumu Honda

The final match added to Trans-Am ★ Hiroshi’s 15th Anniversary show is a Reincarnation Rumble. It sounds like a Rumble match he’s booked before where all of the wrestlers enter the match as a different costume or gimmick from his past.

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “SHE KNOWS HER WAY ~SHINO SUZUKI HOMECOMING SHOW~”, 16/05/2026
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!

BASARA “BASARA 307 ~KOO~”, 29/05/2026
Shinjuku FACE

1. FUMA Vs Seiya Morohashi
2. Iron Fist Tag Team Titles: Takato Nakano & Masato Kamino (c) Vs Minoru Fujita & Yasu Urano
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.

Matsui tends to have “Double Main Events” on his shows and this year will continue that trend.

GANBARE☆PRO “HATAAGE 13TH ANNIVERSARY – MAD MAX 2026” Results

April 29, 2026

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

1. PSYCHO, Choun Shiryu & Yuya Susumu defeated Munetatsu Nakamura, Shota Kawakami & Sentaro Motoshima when PSYCHO pinned Motoshima with the High Fly Bomb (9:57).
2. Ram Kaichow defeated Moeka Haruhi with the Onryo Clutch (6:55).
3. Ken Ohka 25th Anniversary Match: Ryota Nakatsu & Masaaki Mochizuki defeated Ken Ohka & Guts Ishijima when Nakatsu pinned Ohka with a Spinning Leg Lock (10:32).
4. Akira Shoji & Hideki “Shrek” Sekine defeated Minoru Suzuki & Shuichiro Katsumura when Shoji pinned Katsumura with the Modified Jackhammer (13:33).
5. Utami Hayashihita defeated YuuRI with the Crusade (13:22).
6. Spirit Of Ganbare World Tag Team Titles: Takuya Wada & Tyson Maeguchi defeated Yumehito Imanari & Shinichiro Tominaga (c) when Wada pinned Imanari with the Assault Point (13:46).
*Touchable fails in V3. Takuya Wada & Tyson Maeguchi become the 6th Spirit Of Ganbare World Tag Team Champions!
7. Spirit Of Ganbare World Openweight Title: Mizuki Watase (c) defeated Keisuke Ishii with a Vertical Drop Brainbuster (22:07).
*V2 for Mizuki Watase.

In a rematch from three years ago, Mizuki Watase again defeated Keisuke Ishii to defend the Spirit Of Ganbare World. He was lucky to get out of there in one piece though. The match took so much out of both champion and challenger that Watase needed help being walked to the back afterwards. He felt fulfilled none the less, saying there is nothing in the world with the kind of nourishment that pro wrestling has. He is determined to turn Ganbare☆Pro into a huge wrestling company and lead the way. He also said he loves Ishii and believes today should put away any thoughts Ishii has of retiring from wrestling. Ishii said he felt annoyed over losing yet another Korakuen Hall main event. However he could feel his confidence growing throughout the match and will fight Watase head to head again some day. He promised to work hard to get into the condition needed to not only headline Korakuen Hall but win a main event there too after eight failed times at trying.

The Spirit Of Ganbare World Tag Team Titles changed hands with two former champions now regaining the gold. Takuya Wada & Tyson Maeguchi both held the belts before but with different partners. Today they defeated Touchable after a few close calls. Yumehito Imanari & Shinichiro Tominaga almost had Maeguchi taken care of with the 3D. Imanari then hit Wada with the Lariat and Power Bomb but he kicked out from both moves. Wada turned things around and used the Assault Point to pin Imanari for the title change.

Last week Utami Hayashihita caused a stir when she announced she will be leaving her home promotion Marigold next month. Today was her first match since dropping that bombshell, facing YuuRI and beating her with the Crusade (Spinning Razor’s Edge Bomb). Hayashihita told reporters backstage that she is friends with YuuRI and they often drink together. She enjoyed the warm atmosphere of GanPro and is happy to see YuuRI grow in this environment. She compared the GanPro atmosphere to being surrounded by a big family, and she should know what that is like! When asked if she would ever come back here, Hayashihita said she isn’t thinking about the future at the moment, she’s living her present life to the fullest. YuuRI thinks Hayashihita has already decided on where she is going to go next and doesn’t know if they will ever be able to have another singles match together again. She will seize the chance if they can.

Akira Shoji & Hideki Sekine used the music of Pride Fighting Championship theme for their entrance and also their victory themes. When Minoru Suzuki & Shuichiro Katsumura attacked them with chairs at ringside, Suzuki mocked them by asking “What kind of Pride is this, you bastard?” Shoji got the win by using a Modified Jackhammer on Katsumura that he later named the Toyama Black Driver or TBD for short. Sekine said he and Shoji are the strongest pro wrestlers because they are both 52 years old and were born during the peak of Japan’s baby boom. The two of them are also carrying the legacies of Pride and RIZIN and think they can chase after the SOG Tag Titles next.

Ken Ohka cannot believe it’s been 25 years since his debut. He had his first match in the same year when Munetatsu Nakamura, Shota Kawakami & Sentaro Motoshima were all born! He doesn’t know what he can realistically contribute to society but he hopes his wrestling can play a part in bringing peace to Japan and across the world. He fought as hard as he could with Guts Ishijima against Ryota Nakatsu & Masaaki Mochizuki but was ultimately rolled up into defeat on this day.

The match between Moeka Haruhi and Ram Kaichow was put together because the two of them both debuted in 2005. Haruhi tried winning by going for roll ups and other cradle moves but Kaichow caught her with the Onryo Clutch to get the three count instead.

In the leadup to the opening match, Nakamura revealed that he would avoid using Suplex type moves because he was coming back from a herniated cervical disc. He lived up to his word but the victory still went to the outsider team of PSYCHO, Choun Shiryu & Yuya Susumu.

Yuna Manase attended the show and gave reporters an update to her current health. She is still recovering from getting surgery on her collarbone two months ago because the bone has not fully healed yet. However her doctor noticed an abnormality in her blood tests and after getting an MRI, it was discovered that Manase has swelling in her ovaries. According to her doctor, the ovaries swelled up to five times the normal size and it was a miracle they did not burst while Manase was wrestling. She is currently waiting on the official diagnosis but she is under the impression that she will need to get another operation done soon. She told this to the reporters in order to get the message across about how important it is to regularly get health checkups. She hopes she can be fully recovered in time for GanPro’s next Korakuen show but it will likely take several more months before she can return to the ring.
