7. TJPW THE BEST Special 6-Woman Tag Match: Shoko Nakajima, Rika Tatsumi & Miu Watanabe defeated Yuka Sakazaki, Mizuki & Miyu Yamashita when Nakajima pinned Mizuki with the Diving Senton (22:08).
In an attempt to attract more female fans to their shows, Tokyo Joshi Pro held their third “GO GIRL 3” event today which took place in front of an exclusively female audience. The first two shows held last year took place in Itabashi Green Hall. Today’s show took place in a bigger and more important venue, Korakuen Hall.
A new logo was unveiled for TJPW, replacing the pink crown that was used since its creation over 10 years ago. TJPW’s brand is “The Happiest Pro Wrestling” and the new logo was created to convey that. The design includes the TJPW abbreviation to equally appeal towards both Japanese and overseas fans. The letters rising from left to right represents momentum and a sporty atmosphere while the W at the end is shaped like a tiara.
Six of TJPW’s best were put together in the main event. It built around the “WRESTLE PRINCESS III” main event of Shoko Nakajima versus Yuka Sakazaki, placed Nakajima on the same team with Daydream and allowed The Magical Sugar Rabbits to join forces with Miyu Yamashita. All six brought out their strongest effort but it was Nakajima who stood tall in the end, pinning Mizuki with the Diving Senton.
She said she felt energetic today because she knew there were people in the audience watching their first wrestling show today along with fans who have always supported TJPW. Rika Tatsumi called the show a great success and hopes many more will happen. Miu Watanabe was happy to hear fresh voices among the cheers and thinks it would be great if they come back again. Yamashita was also happy to do a show like this in Korakuen and her feelings over it made up for her losing today. Mizuki also wanted to win but understands how strong all of her opponents are today. She wants everyone to do their best so a “GO GIRL” show can take place in front of a sold out venue. Sakazaki went further and encouraged everyone in the audience to become trainees!
Four singles matches were put together as attraction matches for the show. Yuki Kamifuku defeated Yuki Arai in the semi-main event in a match that was originally meant to take place last summer. Kamifuku did not make the mistake of thinking Arai is still the rookie she was last year. After all Arai is a champion now. Instead Kamifuku thinks TJPW have been too reliant on the idol’s promotional power and wanted to get herself out there to attract new fans. By beating Arai today, she is setting the table for Toyo Meyiu’s match against Reiwa AA Cannon for the Princess Tag Team Titles on 4th September. Arai is left feeling regret over not getting to look cool in front of the audience watching her for the first time.
Arai’s tag partner Saki Akai had no such trouble. Hikari Noa got a cheap shot in by Dropkicking Akai from behind after a pre-match handshake. Akai returned fire with Big Boots and focused on getting her opponent in a Triangle Choke. Noa kept herself in the match with Thrust Kicks until Akai would finally capture her in the submission hold, making her opponent give up. Akai thinks being an idol and doing pro wrestling has become relatively normal. She noticed there were some children in the audience so she would like to be the kind of wrestler who will inspire those kids to become pro wrestlers too. Noa was disappointed to lose right before she goes to England to try and win back the International Princess Title.
Doesn’t matter what gender the audience is. They all still agree that Maki Itoh is the cutest in the world! She expected that of course. She also has a name for her Flying DDT that she’s started to win matches with. The I.S.D stands for ITOH SUICIDE DDT. Yuki Aino had her own big move to try out. She gave Itoh a second rope Side Suplex over the ropes but it wasn’t enough for her to win the match. She still enjoyed wrestling in this environment and it makes her want to fight more.
Hyper Misao knew she was going up against Raku and her sleepy tactics so she drank a caffeinated energy drink before the match. It didn’t work and Raku was able to make her drowsy with a Sleeper Hold. Misao used her cooling spray on herself to wake up and took another gulp of the energy drink. This time it worked and she was able to beat Raku in the end. She thanked the audience crediting their cheers for keeping her awake.
This was the third time Moka Miyamoto & Juria Nagano teamed up together. They enjoy being in the same matches and feel more motivated to win together. Mahiro Kiryu was happy to win and believes it was through the power of the audience. Nao Kakuta thinks it will be great if they can get even more women in the audience.
Daisy Monkey kicked off the show with a win over Pom Harajuku & Haruna Neko. The cute and colorful atmosphere got Suzume & Arisu Endo excited. Even Harajuku, who swears she takes pro wrestling seriously admits she got a little carried away because of the crowd.
Over the Summer TJPW has been uploading episodes of Yume Pro Wrestling -dream on the ring- onto their Youtube channel. It follows a group of idols training to become a pro wrestler with one of them ultimately getting a debut match. The remaining idols are Wakana Uehara, Himari Manaka and Risako. The 4th contestant Ema pulled out late in the series because she was unable to give 100% effort alongside her other commitments. Yume Pro Wrestling will hold a one off show in Shinjuku FACE on 14th October featuring their idols in an exhibition match. It will be the final challenge in the competition to decide who will make their dream come true. Uehara and Manaka were in attendance and spoke of their enthusiasm for their final test.

Today is the 5th anniversary of The Up Up Girls (Pro Wrestling) debut musical performance. Their schedule for today was their usual responsibilities in Tokyo Joshi Pro followed by a concert performance over in the ＠JAM EXPO 2022 in the Yokohama Arena. On today’s show Miu Watanabe was on the winning team in the main event, teaming with Shoko Nakajima to beat Daisy Monkey. Elsewhere on the card Raku lost to Yuka Sakazaki while Hikari Noa won her match as part of Free WiFi. While all of this is going on Shino, the newest member of The Up Up Girls is currently training for her debut.
Tomorrow’s “GO GIRL 3” show will unveil the new TJPW logo. Nakajima is a little sad to see the logo they’ve been using for 9 years finally go away. But she believes when something in the company changes then so too should the wrestlers and they will continue to work as hard as ever.
Hyper Misao went to see the movie “Green Bullet” and was inspired to go from super hero to a hitman for hire! She entered the 3 Way Match armed with two guns (relax they turned out to be water pistols) and asked if Mizuki or Yuki Aino will become her assistant. Mizuki agreed and took one of the guns, only to turn it on Misao. Later Misao tried to take Aino hostage at gunpoint but Mizuki coldly told them she doesn’t care what happens to her.
For the second match in a row Free WiFi grabbed Haruna Neko’s hair and bit her pigtails during their match.

1. Rika Tatsumi defeated Kaya Toribami with the Twist Of Fate (9:14).
2. Hyper Misao defeated Moka Miyamoto with the Hypami Returns (10:20).
3. Hikari Noa & Nao Kakuta defeated Suzume & Haruna Neko when Noa pinned Neko with the Blizzard Suplex (8:10).
4. Miyu Yamashita & Maki Itoh defeatee Yuki Aino & Raku when Yamashita pinned Raku with the Attitude Adjustment (13:20).
5. Miu Watanabe defeated Pom Harajuku with the Tear Drop (10:30).
6. Shoko Nakajima, Yuki Kamifuku & Mahiro Kiryu defeated Yuka Sakazaki, Mizuki & Arisu Endo when Nakajima pinned Endo with the Northern Lights Suplex (11:28).
Shoko Nakajima used today to bounce back from her disappointing performance at the Tokyo Princess Cup by getting the fall in the main event. From now until October, Nakajima wants to keep winning matches to show everyone she is a growing champion. Toyo Mates are aiming to follow a similar momentum for their Princess Tag Team Titles match on 4th September. For some reason Mahiro Kiryu led Nakajima and Yuki Kamifuku in a group apology to close out the show.
Miu Watanabe was in for a fright when Pom Harajuku had the room lights turned off and got haunted music to play over the speakers. Harajuku then used a wig and a torchlight to scare Watanabe in the dark until the lights were switched back on. She then hovered a piece of konnyaku hanging from a string over Watanabe’s face to put her off even further. Watanabe would win the match but didn’t expect to fall for Harajuku’s pranks like she did. Harajuku described her last few months as a summer full of trials to overcome. She hopes next year she will get to be a trial for someone else.
Hyper Misao pretended to act like Moka Miyamoto and was introduced as the “Yamato Nadeshiko Hero Who Protects Love And Peace In Tokyo Joshi Pro“. She promised to fight a graceful match against her opponent because she claims they were alike. That didn’t last and she was eventually doing her usual dirty tactics to win.
Since the International Princess Title is currently in England with Alex Windsor, it is now up to TJPW to send challengers after her in the hopes of bringing the belt back to Japan. Hikari Noa will be going on her first overseas booking to challenge Windsor for the title next month. The match will be held at an EVE show in London on 1st September. Noa said she is nervous because it will be her first time going abroad but she’ll try and bring the IP Title back in time for the 4th September TJPW show in Nagoya.
Max The Impaler returns to TJPW on 9th October for “WRESTLE PRINCESS III”.

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “TOKYO PRINCESS CUP”, 14/08/2022
Tokyo Korakuen Hall

1. Nao Kakuta defeated Moka Miyamoto with the Shiden Kai (7:56).
2. Yuki Kamifuku & Mahiro Kiryu defeated Hyper Misao & Kaya Toribami when Kiryu pinned Toribami with the Spinebuster (9:49).
3. Miyu Yamashita, Suzume & Haruna Neko defeated Mizuki, Raku & Pom Harajuku when Yamashita pinned Harajuku with the Attitude Adjustment (9:20).
4. Saki Akai & Yuki Arai defeated Hikari Noa & Arisu Endo when Arai pinned Endo with the Finally (11:52).
5. Shoko Nakajima & Rika Tatsumi defeated Yuki Aino & Max The Impaler when Nakajima pinned Aino with the Diving Senton (16:24).
6. Tokyo Princess Cup – Final: Yuka Sakazaki defeated Miu Watanabe with the Magical Merry-Go-Round (19:36).
It took eight times for Yuka Sakazaki to finally win the Tokyo Princess Cup. She can now scratch that achievement off her list and make a claim to be arguably the strongest wrestler in Tokyo Joshi Pro! Her victory in a final brought Miu Watanabe’s summer campaign to surpass her seniors to a sad end. She did her best by hitting an Avalanche Tear Drop but she was too hurt to make the cover. Sakazaki later absorbed the Laserbeam strike and fired back with overwhelming Elbow Strikes. She grabbed onto Watanabe’s arm to keep her from falling down and pulled her into the Magical Merry-Go-Round to win the tournament.
After the match the two wrestlers hugged and Sakazaki said something into Watanabe’s ear. Watanabe left the ring to a loud applause while Sakazaki was presented with the brand new Princess Cup trophy from Naoya Yuzawa, the chief editor of Shukan Puroresu/Weekly Pro-Wrestling magazine. Sakazaki said she is feeling tired but also very happy to see everybody becoming more stronger. She doesn’t like that there is so much pink on the new trophy but she is very happy to have it. Her emotions have been shaken all tournament long especially when she saw both Shoko Nakajima and Miyu Yamashita get eliminated. She feels like she has become the big sister for the rest of TJPW because she wants to see everyone do well.
Sakazaki then called Nakajima into the ring. Winning the Princess Cup means she should get another shot at the Princess Of Princess Title. Nakajima said Sakazaki always gave her courage and pushed her back. It is alright by her to give Sakazaki another title match. The two agreed to have the match at Tokyo Dome City Hall for “WRESTLE PRINCESS III” on 9th October. Meanwhile Watanabe said backstage that no matter how many times she gets frustrated and no matter how many tears she sheds, she will work even harder to surpass her seniors and win next year’s tournament.
Nakajima had her hands full earlier in the show. She teamed up with Rika Tatsumi but even their powers combined struggled against Max The Impaler. The weakness they needed to exploit was Max’s unusual team-up with Yuki Aino. A misfired Lariat hit Aino and Max was then knocked away by Tatsumi’s Hip Attack. It took a lot just to keep Max away but Nakajima found enough time to isolate Aino and pin her with the Diving Senton. Nakajima said it was a scary match but she still enjoyed it. Tatsumi agreed and hopes Max comes back to Japan some day. The two of them now consider Max their friend! Aino also appreciated Max for coming over because they are really cool and inspiring.
The current Princess Tag Team Champions used today’s match to sharpen their skills before the next title defence. Reiwa AA Cannon went up against Hikari Noa & Arisu Endo. Together Saki Akai & Yuki Arai used double team moves on Endo while Noa kept getting in the way to cut off their momentum. Akai eventually got Noa out of the ring and hit a PK from across the apron to keep her away while Arai pinned Endo with the Finally.
After yesterday’s disappointing losses, Miyu Yamashita and Suzume both got to lighten up a bit by being thrown into a wacky 6-Woman Tag match with the likes of Raku, Haruna Neko and Pom Harajuku. There was also Mizuki there too to speed up the action. Harajuku wanted to do some high flying too but she was a sitting duck for Yamashita’s High Kick. One Attitude Adjustment later and Yamashita’s team were the winners.
Upcoming Princess Tag Title challengers Toyo Mates had their own preparations to sort out by taking on the masked duo of Hyper Misao & Kaya Toribami. One thing was Yuki Kamifuku did not want to sit through Misao’s usual opening speech. She took the microphone and gave it to Mahiro Kiryu so she could give a cool speech instead. Kiryu ended up getting attacked by Misao to start the match. Toyo Mates eventually eliminated Misao with the Big Boot/Spinebuster combo and Kiryu then hit a proper Spinebuster on Toribami to get the win.
The opening match saw Nao Kakuta beat Moka Miyamoto with a rough and tough performance in the ring. She was able to break out of the Rashomon and pin her opponent with the Shiden Kai.
The Up Up Girls (Pro Wrestling) had a big surprise for everyone after they finished their musical performance at the beginning of the show. After months of auditioning about 100 applicants, they are now adding a brand new member to the group! The new member is named Shino. She is a former bus guide who was born in Shizuoka on 15th July, 1998. The first time she attended a pro wrestling show was the 3rd May TJPW event in Korakuen Hall. Shoko Nakajima left a huge impression on her that day so her goal is to reach Nakajima’s level. Her favourite idol is Sakura Oda from Morning Musume. When Shino finished introducing herself to the audience, Hikari Noa asked her if she would like to do a death match.

8. Tokyo Princess Cup – Semi Final: Miu Watanabe defeated Miyu Yamashita with the Tear Drop (18:23).
This year’s Tokyo Princess Cup is being built around the young generation wanting to surpass their seniors. Miu Watanabe has been leading the charge and it has taken her all the way to the final! She defeated Miyu Yamashita in a year where it looked like the Tokyo Joshi Pro ace had finally figured out how to win the tournament. Watanabe showed great toughness by taking a German Suplex and a High Kick only to duck the Skull Kick and drop Yamashita with the Tear Drop for the three count. Rika Tatsumi rushed over to Watanabe after the match to congratulate her and Yamashita shook her hand. Backstage Yamashita said when she looked into Watanabe’s eyes she realized how intense the last four years they spent working together was. She was overwhelmed by both her own strength as well as Watanabe’s. She is extremely disappointed to lose but also sees how passionate the younger wrestlers are becoming. That there is now a generational battle going on in TJPW means the promotion has built up a lot of history and that shows how much it has grown.
The other semi final saw Yuka Sakazaki eliminate Suzume, ending the younger wrestler’s Cinderella run in the tournament. Suzume’s plan was to go for quick covers and high flying moves. But the big momentum shift of the match happened when Sakazaki gave her the Tea Time. From there she hit an impactful Sliding Lariat before pinning her with the Magical Merry-Go-Round. Suzume heard Sakazaki’s previous comments about her not being a threat. But Suzume thinks she was a dangerous opponent for Sakazaki after all. When they were in the ring, Suzume forgot about the tournament because she couldn’t stand losing to the person in front of her.
Tomorrow’s final has come down to Watanabe against Sakazaki. Watanabe told Sakazaki she wants to surpass her and win the tournament. Sakazaki said she cannot lose because she’s been competing in the Princess Cup longer than Watanabe has wrestled and never won it. She will see her tomorrow and the two gave each other a fist bump. It took Watanabe four years to finally catch up to Yamashita and if she wins tomorrow it means she has beaten TJPW’s top three wrestlers in the same tournament (Sakazaki, Yamashita and Shoko Nakajima). Sakazaki has called this year’s Princess Cup a grueling competition because the younger wrestlers are showing a lot of guts. She hopes it will turn the Tokyo Princess Cup into the can’t miss tournament of the summer!
The next challengers for the Princess Tag Team Titles have been decided after Mahiro Kiryu pinned Yuki Arai in a 6-Woman Tag Match. Yuki Kamifuku & Haruna Neko dealt with Saki Akai & Moka Miyamoto so Kiryu could pin Arai with the Spinebuster. She politely asked Reiwa AA Cannon for a title shot even though she lost to them before and also lost to Arai in the Princess Cup. Akai accepted the challenge. Kiryu then apologized to Kamifuku for not getting her permission to ask for the title match. Kamifuku admitted she is surprised by Kiryu’s actions but hoped this day would come because she wants Kiryu to be more assertive. Kiryu later revealed she dyed her hair “iron blue” today to match the Toyo University colours. It shows how much she wants Toyo Mates to succeed.
Nobody was more terrified of Max The Impaler than Pom Harajuku. She had the unfortunate task of being Max’s first opponent in Japan and Max did not even wait for the bell to ring to get started. Harajuku was able to leave the ring and tried to run away but she was persuaded by Yuki Aino and Raku to continue the match. Her Shin Kicks worked a little bit but Max ended up winning with a Short Range Lariat, shouting “bye bye” to Harajuku before hitting the move.
The 3 Way Match tried to play up a potential love triangle between the trio involved. Hyper Misao brought out a picture of Tatsumi and admitted she has feelings for her. Tatsumi rejected her with a kick because she wanted to be with Mizuki instead. Mizuki stood by Tatsumi’s side but only so she had the numbers advantage. She betrayed Tatsumi when the opportunity presented itself. Misao brought out a spray can to blind her opponents. Tatsumi grabbed it but accidentally sprayed both Mizuki and the referee by mistake. But since the ref was temporarily blinded, Tatsumi hit Misao with the can without penalty and then pinned her with the Twist Of Fate.
Mei Suruga’s return to TJPW pitted her against a familiar opponent. She and Arisu Endo previously fought each other at “SUMMER SUN PRINCESS ’22” last month. Suruga won the match here by making Endo submit to the Gateau Invisible. Endo hesitated to shake her hand after the match so Suruga gave her a heavy pat on the head.
A stretcher was used during Match #2 when Free WiFi tried to carry Raku with it out of the arena. However Hikari Noa & Nao Kakuta couldn’t decide on which direction to go so they dropped Raku onto the floor instead. They got back on the same page when Noa stopped Raku from doing the Doctor Yellow to Kakuta. Then Kakuta pinned Raku with the Shiden Kai.
The reigning Princess Of Princess Champion found herself wrestling in the opening match after getting eliminated midway through the Princess Cup. She took on Kaya Toribami, who she’s been friends with since before Toribami became a pro wrestler. A lot of the match was kept on the mat with submission holds but picked up the pace until Nakajima hit the 619 and then the Northern Lights Suplex for the victory.

6. Maki Itoh & Yuki Kamifuku defeated Miyu Yamashita & Nao Kakuta when Kamifuku pinned Kakuta with the Diving Famouser (11:54).
Today’s show was a homecoming for Yuki Kamifuku in Fujisawa City. When the show began she presented the mayor of Fujisawa City with a donation made out of a portion of the event’s earnings. The donation will go towards local scholarships. The main event itself was Kamifuku forming the MakiYuki Happy team with Maki Itoh to take on Miyu Yamashita & Nao Kakuta. Kamifuku welcomed her opponents to her town and when she gave them Eye Pokes she told them it was “The Fujisawa Way”. MakiYuki Happy ended up shining brightly in the end. Kamifuku got rid of Yamashita with the Famouser and then pinned Kakuta with the Diving Famouser.
She thanked the audience for coming to see Tokyo Joshi Pro because she loves the company as much as she loves her hometown. When she was a student she had difficulty finding a hobby to be passionate about. When she joined TJPW she found her dreams and one by one made them come true. This show was the biggest one and she is happy to come back here with her friends and colleagues from Tokyo.
Upcoming Tokyo Princess Cup opponents Yuka Sakazaki and Suzume faced off in a tag match on the undercard. After the match Sakazaki said in her backstage interview that she is not feeling any danger when she wrestles against Suzume. She is looking forward to their semi final match but right now she doesn’t feel threatened at all.
The 3 Way Match was summer themed. Hyper Misao and Pom Harajuku came out wearing straw hats, swimming goggles and playing with a beach ball. The referee even wore a tie dye shirt over his regular uniform. Only Mahiro Kiryu showed up looking normal and got mad over being left out.

1. Maki Itoh, Yuki Kamifuku & Mahiro Kiryu defeated Rika Tatsumi, Miu Watanabe & Haruna Neko when Itoh submitted Neko with the Itoh Punish (12:26).
2. 3 Way Match: Nao Kakuta defeated Shoko Nakajima and Arisu Endo when Kakuta pinned Endo with the Shiden Kai (10:25).
3. Yuka Sakazaki, Mizuki, Suzume & Moka Miyamoto defeated Hyper Misao, Yuki Aino, Pom Harajuku & Kaya Toribami when Suzume pinned Toribami with the Ring A Bell (12:52).
4. Tokyo Princess Cup – Round 2: Miyu Yamashita defeated Raku with the Skull Kick (9:23).
5. Tokyo Princess Cup – Round 2: Hikari Noa defeated Yuki Arai with the Blizzard Suplex (10:44).
Day 3 of the Tokyo Princess Cup was the final show of the tripleheader in Ryogoku KFC Hall and also the beginning of Round 2. Only two tournament bouts took place today but were still two of the more anticipated matches on the bracket. In the main event Hikari Noa cut short Yuki Arai’s hopes of going on a blaze through the tournament. A rope break saved Noa from getting pinned with the Finally. She blocked a follow up and rocked Arai with her own Super Kick before pinning her with the Blizzard Suplex. Noa said she was able to win because she desired it more than Arai. She still found Arai to be a scary opponent because she is currently one of the Princess Tag Team Champions. Noa will now face Yuka Sakazaki in the Quarter Final. She respects her so much and promises to do her best to win. Arai is upset not to move up as far as she wanted in the Princess Cup. She said she wants to win the Princess Cup next year.
Two rounds down and Miyu Yamashita is still in the running. She had to go against an unusual battle plan against her to do it. Raku brought a pillow to the ring and took a nap while Yamashita made her entrance. When the match began, a confused Yamashita bent over to see what Raku was doing and got rolled up for a nearfall. Raku continued to use the pillow to distract her opponent and almost beat her again this time with the Hurricane Turn. But it was lights out for Raku instead when Yamashita landed the Skull Kick. Her next opponent is Nao Kakuta in the Quarter Final. She remembers beating her in the first round last year and feels like she has gotten stronger since then. She just needs to stay focused and not let anything distract her. Raku said every time she has a singles match against Yamashita it starts a new turning point in her life because they happen so rarely.
Hyper Misao announced that she and all of the other wrestlers already eliminated from the Princess Cup decided to join forces and launch the second season of ToJo Rangers! It was noticed by Pom Harajuku that not everyone eliminated was in this match but her concern was ignored. Every member of the team was given new Ranger names based on their colours. Misao was Hero Green, Yuki Aino was Passion Red, Pom Harajuku was Harajuku Blue and Kaya Toribami was Persona Black. Their heroic poses kept on becoming distractions to themselves and they lost the match anyway.

7. Tokyo Princess Cup – Round 1: Rika Tatsumi defeated Yuki Kamifuku with the Missile Hip (12:57).
The winners of today’s Tokyo Princess Cup matches have a little bit of an easier ride in the bracket compared to the rest of the wrestlers in Round 1. Everyone who won today advanced straight into the Quarter Finals taking place on 31st July. Rika Tatsumi closed out the show by beating Yuki Kamifuku, proclaiming it to be her first win on the road to finally winning the tournament. Her failed title challenges on the big stage has only made her more obsessive and is the reason she keeps getting back on her feet time after time. Kamifuku has taken something positive from the match though. She used to fear Tatsumi’s Hip Attacks and would run away from them. This time she became brave enough to stand up to the move despite still losing to it. Tatsumi’s next round opponent will be the winner of Pom Harajuku Vs Suzume taking place on 23rd July.
Yesterday’s 10-Woman Tag Match gave Nao Kakuta all the preparation she needed to figure out Yuki Aino. She learned she has less patience than Aino, who is often calm and thoughtful in the ring. A calm mind is what helped Kakuta beat her today because she didn’t panic when Aino put her in the Full Nelson Of Love And Fire. That gave her time to break out of the hold and land a Cross-Arm DDT to her opponent. The Shiden Kai afterwards resulted in Kakuta going through to the Quarter Final. She will face the winner of Miyu Yamashita Vs Raku taking place tomorrow. Whoever Kakuta face she said she can either climb that wall, smash her way through it or slip around it to the other side.
Yuka Sakazaki is trying to get over losing the Princess Tag Team Titles by aiming to win the Princess Cup. She is using this tournament to get rid of her frustration and Kaya Toribami just happened to be the first person in her way. Toribami knew she was in for a tough match and worked hard to make Sakazaki use her stronger moves. That way Toribami could get a chance to show her own true potential even for just a little bit. Sakazaki will now wait for Hikari Noa Vs Yuki Arai to happen tomorrow to see who she faces next.
This summer could become a summer of important change if Miu Watanabe has anything to say about it. She thinks it is time for her generation to surpass their seniors. It begins with Watanabe herself finding a new way to swing her opponents around. She blocked Arisu Endo’s Waterwheel Drop and turned it into a Giant Swing from a Gutwrench lift! Endo tried fighting back from that but was put away with the Tear Drop. Watanabe won’t know who she faces next until 23rd July when Shoko Nakajima Vs Mizuki takes place.
In one of the non-tournament matches Hyper Misao faked having a left arm injury from the day before while Nakajima acted concerned for her partner. Mizuki didn’t believe her because she saw the match and remembers that Misao’s left arm was never targeted. However during the match Mizuki joined in with Mahiro Kiryu for the Apology Double Knee Drop and both said sorry to Misao for attacking her while she is injured. When Misao made her comeback she shouted she was suddenly feeling better. Nakajima got the hot tag and in the end pinned Kiryu to win.

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “TOKYO PRINCESS CUP”, 16/07/2022
Tokyo Ryogoku KFC Hall
262 Fans
1. Rika Tatsumi, Yuki Aino, Miu Watanabe, Hikari Noa & Raku defeated Yuka Sakazaki, Maki Itoh, Yuki Kamifuku, Nao Kakuta & Arisu Endo when Tatsumi pinned Endo with the Twist Of Fate (12:29).
2. 3 Way Match: Mizuki defeated Suzume and Kaya Toribami when Mizuki submitted Toribami with the Face Lock (7:57).
3. Tokyo Princess Cup – Round 1: Pom Harajuku defeated Moka Miyamoto with the Pom de Justice (6:48).
4. Tokyo Princess Cup – Round 1: Yuki Arai defeated Mahiro Kiryu with the Finally (8:00).
5. Tokyo Princess Cup – Round 1: Shoko Nakajima defeated Haruna Neko with the Unmanned Local Train Hold (11:15).
6. Tokyo Princess Cup – Round 1: Miyu Yamashita defeated Hyper Misao with the Crash Rabbit Heat (15:47).
The first batch of Tokyo Princess Cup opening round matches were held today in Ryogoku KFC Hall. The main event was between two women who both felt bad luck following them into the tournament. Miyu Yamashita always has unlucky results in the Princess Cup while Hyper Misao felt unlucky having to go against her right away. Yamashita cheated by tying Yamashita’s feet together and spraying her in the face whenever the opportunity to get away with it presented itself. Yamashita soon freed herself and forced her opponent into a wrestling match. Misao got a nearfall with the Hypami Returns but Yamashita fired back with the Attitude Adjustment. She then dusted off the Crash Rabbit Heat to win. Yamashita admitted to feeling bullish but today’s win against an opponent like Misao is big for her. Using the Crash Rabbit Heat again may be the key to finally break through her tournament curse. Misao said she will use what she learned from fighting Yamashita and apply it to her future opponents.
It’s no surprise that Shoko Nakajima is off to a winning start by beating Haruna Neko. She expected Neko to give it her all and was prepared for it. The results was a solid effort from Nakajima without giving too much away for the next round. Neko said she is frustrated she couldn’t get anywhere against Nakajima. However she hopes she can use the frustration as food for growth from now on.
The good times are continuing for Yuki Arai. Her win today over Mahiro Kiryu means she is already doing better than her first Princess Cup appearance from last year. She promised to keep trying her best to get results is singles matches to go along with her recent success as a tag team wrestler. It was her first match since winning the Princess Tag Team Titles and she admitted she hasn’t figured out the best way to wear her title belt yet. But she is happy to show it off to everyone. Kiryu thought she was going to be the better fighter than Arai and fought with the intention of challenging for the Tag Titles down the line. She underestimated how tenacious Arai is and regrets not finishing her off in the match when she had the chance.
Pom Harajuku attempted to mimic Karate to try and intimidate Moka Miyamoto at the start of their match. She was in danger when Miyamoto applied the Rashomon but a rope break saved her. Harajuku was then able to hit the Pom de Justice to win and advance to Round 2. Harajuku said she is going to blast through the competition. Miyamoto is disappointed to get eliminated in the first round again.
Today’s winners all advance to Round 2 of the bracket. The matches for that round are split off into two separate shows. The 18th July show has Yamashita against Raku and Arai against Hikari Noa. The 23rd July show is where Nakajima will face Mizuki and Harajuku will take on Suzume.

6. KO-D 6-Man Tag Team Titles: Daisuke Sasaki, MJ Paul & KANON (c) Vs Masahiro Takanashi, Chris Brookes & Antonio Honda
Not only has Antonio Honda proved he deserves to be in the KO-D 6-Man Tag Team Titles match, it is now the main event too!
An extra rule is added to the DDT Extreme Title match after Danshoku Dieno warned that something bad could happen to the special referee Sanshiro Takagi and prevent him from doing his job. Akito and Hisaya Imabayashi are taking the threat seriously and came up with a backup plan. If Takagi cannot do his refereeing duties during the match for any reason then anyone who puts on the referee shirt will get to act as one! Imabayashi also announced the show will not air live on Wrestle Universe because of this match. If the match gets too out of control it will be cut from the VOD! Another thing to note about this match is where the inspiration for the match came from. According to the DDT website, the 3 Vs 1 Handicap stipulation is a call back to Antonio Inoki Vs Rusher Kimura, Animal Hamaguchi & Isamu Teranishi series from 1982 and 1983.
Yukio Naya is out of action with a fever and is off this weekend’s shows. Soma Takao replaces him on tomorrow’s card.
