The big supershow came and went without a hitch! DDT, NOAH, Tokyo Joshi Pro and Ganbare☆Pro all worked together to offer their best effort at Saitama Super Arena in front of 4,800 fans. When the three main events were done the three main champions of DDT, NOAH & TJPW entered the ring to thank the fans for coming to see them. Naomichi Marufuji said the CyberFight promotions will energize everyone with the power of pro wrestling. Jun Akiyama thanked everyone for attending even in the midst of the Coronavirus pandemic. He also thanked the fans watching on WRESTLE UNIVERSE. Last but not least Miyu Yamashita pointed out this was the largest crowd TJPW has performed in front of. She is certain that many people saw TJPW for the first time today and will be happy if any of them will stick around to see more. The entire cast of wrestlers gathered together on the stage for a massive group photo to close out the show.

Only one title changed hands out of the three main event championship matches. On the NOAH side, Marufuji won the GHC Heavyweight Title from Keiji Muto in what was called a “Genius Showdown”. Muto pulled out all the stops to try and win, going far enough to pull out the Moonsault that he retired three years ago! Just as shocking was Marufuji kicking out of the pin. He then got on the attack and unleashed all of his kicking and knee strikes on the champion. Muto tried to block what he could but he fell to the Tiger King Zero and the title now belongs to Marufuji.

DDT’s main event saw Akiyama choke out HARASHIMA to retain the KO-D Openweight Title. Akiyama entered the ring carrying the giant hammer commonly seen in DDT’s hardcore matches as a sign of loyalty to the company. HARASHIMA took the big risk of doing the Swan Dive Somato but Akiyama rolled out of the way. The champion then struck HARASHIMA with a Knee Kick and then dropped him with the Wrist Clutch Exploder. For weeks the Front Neck Lock was the finishing move used by both wrestlers so it was only fitting for Akiyama to sink it in on his opponent until the referee called for the bell. Backstage Akiyama said he has now defeated all of DDT’s icons. Next in line for him is whoever wins King Of DDT. If Akiyama wins the tournament then he promises to nominate Sanshiro Takagi so they can see which of them in their 50s is stronger.

Over at TJPW, Yamashita scored her first Princess Of Princess Title defence by beating Yuka Sakazaki. The match meant a lot to both wrestlers and they brought out their big moves. Sakazaki attempted the Magical Girl 450 Splash but missed, Yamashita hit the Skull Kick but was too tired to go for the pin allowing Sakazaki enough recovery time to reach for a rope break when she was pinned. Yamashita feigned a Crash Rabbit Heat to make Sakazaki flinch, then redirected herself to hit the move from another angle. With her opponent’s defence down, Yamashita hit the move proper for the victory. Yamashita tried to communicate with Sakazaki after the match but got a big slap across the face instead. Sakazaki stormed off while Yamashita celebrated with her title. Backstage Yamashita said she wants TJPW to push even further and aim for their own event at Sumo Hall.

The big DDT Vs NOAH match of the show provided the perfect storm to show two wrestlers going in opposite directions. DDT’s Yuki Ueno is having a banner year while NOAH’s Kaito Kiyomiya is currently going through a rough slump of results. The DDT’s team lived up to Konosuke Takeshita’s promise of getting an overwhelming win over Kiyomiya & Yoshiki Inamura. Takeshita used his power to do a German Suplex to Kiyomiya and his own partner Ueno. A big Dropkick from Ueno to Kiyomiya’s face was the move that captured everyone’s attention and the Best Moonsault Ever sealed the deal. Both of the DDT wrestlers were impressed with Inamura’s power though. This might not be the last time they cross paths. Kiyomiya insists that this current run of bad results is just a passing point for him.

The spirit of DDT was on full display when they went into battle against Kongo. The DDT team led by Sanshiro Takagi were as motivated as ever after Kenoh called the company a place only for wrestlers with side jobs. They armed themselves with many of DDT’s signature weapons: the Dramatic Dream Cycle, the rotary drill, the big hammer and the strongest of them all… Yoshihiko! The big meeting in the ring was when Yukio Sakaguchi and Kenoh faced off. During the chaos Kenoh must have lost his mind because he decided to use the Dramatic Dream to run over Takagi on the ramp! He and Katsuhiko Nakajima continued to beat on Takagi when Sakaguchi & Kazusada Higuchi came to the rescue. Sakaguchi hit Kenoh with the God’s Right Knee. Then, with Yoshihiko’s help, he caught Kenoh in the Sleeper Hold and held him back while Takagi pinned Haoh with the Sit Down Himawari Bomb. Takagi told Kenoh afterwards that he hates him but he will never force him to change his style. Every promotion in CyberFight can do the pro wrestling they want to do. There is only one goal and that is become the No. 1 pro wrestling power in the industry!

DDT’s offer match for the show was DAMNATION taking on the combined power of Chris Brookes & The 37KAMIINA in a trios match. MAO pulled out a firecracker but Daisuke Sasaki ducked and the pop hit Shunma Katsumata instead. DAMNATION went on a tear with Soma Takao using a Hurricanrana to Brookes out of the ring onto everyone outside, Tetsuya Endo then hitting a Swan Dive Shooting Star Press and even Mad Paulie getting involved behind the referee’s back. Sasaki finished MAO off with the Crossover Facelock to give DAMNATION the victory.

There were no heel turns in the NOAH Jr. Heavyweight match. I repeat, there were no heel turns in the NOAH Jr. Heavyweight match! The champion trio of Atsushi Kotoge, Daisuke Harada & Hajime Ohara went toe to toe against STINGER. Kotoge & Ohara cut off Yoshinari Ogawa & HAYATA outside the ring while Harada pinned Seiki Yoshioka with the Katayama German Suplex. Harada said it gives his team confidence to go into the match as champions and win.

The SKE48 idol Yuki Arai has gotten a lot of attention with her move into pro wrestling. Today was only her second match but it was still given a big spot on the card given it was her first bout in front of an audience. SKE48 graduate Jurina Matsui was in attendance to see her fight. Arai’s immediate rival Maki Itoh formed the Saitama Itoh Respect Army 2021 to steal the attention away from her. Having Yuki Kamifuku & Marika Kobashi on Itoh’s side worked out in the end because Arai almost pinned Itoh with the Finally (Axe Kick). They broke the count then got into a fight with Hikari Noa & Mizuki. With all of them out of the way, Itoh caught Arai in a Crab Hold then twisted it in a different angle to get the submission win. That version of the move is called the Itoh Punish. Jurina cheered her friend on when Arai was helped out of the ring by her partners.

One of the DDT Vs NOAH matches had Masa Kitamiya smash through Hideki Okatani in under three minutes. Okatani put up a fight in that short time but Suplexes, a Lariat and the Jail Hold resulted in Kitamiya getting his hand raised.

The unofficial SUGI & SAKU Titles match is one that Takashi Sugiura will not remember fondly in years to come. Probably not the weirdest thing Kazushi Sakuraba has ever been a part of though, to be honest. Sugiura & Sakuraba wrestled most of the match wearing their custom Super Strong Machine masks anyway. Before the match began, Super Sasadango Machine held a PowerPoint presentation titled “How To Beat Sugiura & Sakuraba”. You cannot beat them under normal conditions but Sugiura-gun are also not used to fighting against comedy wrestlers. The plan then is to make them laugh to throw them off their game. Sasadango brought out plastic bats to play a Guru Guru spinning game but Sugiura attacked him with it instead. Danshoku Dieno wore a mask of actress Takako Tokiwa’s face to seduce Sakuraba but his trap was foiled by an Ankle Lock. Sasadango unmasked in a moment that looked serious, but it was just so he could wear pantyhose on his head. Sugiura was then forced to wear pantyhose over his head too. He pinned Sasadango to end the bout and then apologised to the fans for having them watch a shit match.

The TJPW 3 Way Tag Match involved three teams all in position to get a future Princess Tag Team Titles shot. Kyoraku Kyomei warned that Shoko Nakajima was going to destroy Saitama Super Arena in a kaiju rampage but Hyper Misao would immediately fix it afterwards like the hero she is. The match went wild with Daydream and The Bakuretsu Sisters also involved. Kyoraku Kyomei came out on top in the end. Rika Tatsumi argued that Daydream still won because she and Miu Watanabe did not get pinned. Nodoka Tenma & Yuki Aino said they still had fun despite Aino dropping the fall.

Yuki Iino revealed a new pink wrestling outfit when he came out for the opening match. The NOAH team of Junta Miyawaki & Kinya Okada were determined to start the show off on the right track for their company. Miyawaki made Toui Kojima tap out to get his team the win. Kojima ended up with a dislocated left elbow at some point but continued to fight until the end.

The STARTING BATTLE pre-show consisted of three matches and was home to Ganpro’s matches on the day. The headline bout of this section had Shuichiro Katsumura, Kouki Iwasaki & Yumehito Imanari defeat Ken Ohka, Keisuke Ishii & Shota. Everyone involved treated the match as if they were fighting to become the hero of Saitama Super Arena. Iwasaki got the pin and said he is ready to fight with anyone in Ganpro and was proud to do his thing inside this building. Ohka closed out this portion of the show by shouting “We are Ganbare☆Pro Wrestling!”

Antonio Honda was the last person standing in the Battle Royal. The match featured the return to the ring of Yoshiaki Yatsu for the first time in two years. He wrestled with his specailly made prosthetic foot after his right leg was amputated due to worsening diabetes. Yatsu was the first entrant in the match so he wasn’t taking things easy. Wrestlers from DDT, NOAH and Ganpro filled the ring and in the end, Honda used the power of Gongitsune to guide his way to victory.

The very first match of the day was the debut match of TJPW’s newest wrestler, Kaya Toribami. There was very little information about the masked woman given out and a solid performance in the ring today raises some questions. Is this somebody who already has wrestling experience going incognito? For the rest of the field, they could hardly contain themselves to perform in a major venue.

The guidelines suggest there is low risk of Covid-19 infection from touching surfaces and objects. Spectators are still required to wear masks, stay clean, take their temperatures and have contact information on hand if positive cases do happen.

12. GHC Heavyweight Title – Triple Main Event III: Keiji Muto (c) Vs Naomichi Marufuji

Konosuke Takeshita & Yuki Ueno see their match against Kaito Kiyomiya & Yoshiki Inamura as a battle between the modern generation of DDT and NOAH. Takeshita wants to win the match by a large margin while Ueno wants to prove DDT’s style of wrestling is strong because it is fun. Takeshita is treating the match like it is the main event.

The DDT Vs Kongo 12-Man Tag looks to be focusing on Yukio Sakaguchi and Kenoh. The rest of the DDT squad also take issue with Kenoh’s opinions about their company but Sakaguchi more than any other wants to face off with him. Sanshiro Takagi said the DDT team are all united. Akito threw out a jab by saying Kenoh is the only one out of Kongo that is talking and he’s not convinced that Kenoh wants to be in the match.

Yuki Arai admits to being nervous going into her second pro wrestling match. This will be the first one in front of fans. Maki Itoh is calling her team Saitama Itoh Respect Army 2021. Her partners Yuki Kamifuku & Marika Kobashi have been secretly working for her for the last six months. They seem to be okay with it because it is keeping them employed during the pandemic. Either that or they’ve been brainwashed.

DDT “KING OF DDT 2021 2ND ROUND”, 20/06/2021
Tokyo Korakuen Hall

1. Iron Man Heavymetalweight Title – Battle Royal: Shinya Aoki (c) Vs Saki Akai Vs Antonio Honda Vs Toru Owashi Vs Kazuki Hirata
2. Steak Kuiyagare Presents Special Single Match: Yusuke Okada Vs Big Name X (Special Witness: Kiyoshi Hayashishita)

5. King Of DDT 2021 – Round 2: Winner Of Match 1E Vs Winner Of Match 1F
6. King Of DDT 2021 – Round 2: Winner Of Match 1G Vs Winner Of Match 1H

A steak restaurant is sponsoring a match between Yusuke Okada and a mystery opponent. Why is this such a big deal? Well the restaurant belongs to “Big Daddy” Kiyoshi Hayashishita and he will be at ringside to watch the match. If that name sounds familiar it’s because Kiyoshi is the father of Utami Hayashishita from Stardom. To say she comes from a big family is the understatement of the century.

Spring/Summer Eleven: Mizuki, Miyu Yamashita, Moka Miyamoto, Nao Kakuta, Pom Harajuku, Arisu Endo, Marika Kobashi, Nodoka Tenma, Mahiro Kiryu, Shoko Nakajima & Maki Itoh

Autumn/Winter Eleven: Rika Tatsumi, Miu Watanabe, Yuki Aino, Suzume, Mirai Maiumi, Raku, Haruna Neko, Yuka Sakazaki, Hyper Misao, Hikari Noa & Yuki Kamifuku

Those born in the months of March to August went into war against the ones born between September and February. This was taken seriously with the Spring/Summer Eleven bragging about plants and hot weather while the Autumn/Winter Eleven wore costumes celebrating Hallowe’en and Christmas. Sayuri Namba played both sides, claiming to support the summer because her ring announcing career began in May then cheering for winter because she was born in October. The show was briefly delayed due to internet trouble so Shota & Tetsuya Koda kept themselves busy at the commentary table.

Spring/Summer captain Shoko Nakajima won the first match on the show, beating Miu Watanabe. Even with 2 Count Pins in effect, her victory was certain once she did the Northern Lights Suplex.

It’s been so long. Was this Haruna Neko’s first singles win in over two years? A Jumping Cat Breaker to Moka Miyamoto set her up for the Nekocanrana to get the pin and tie the score one a piece.

Marika Kobashi hasn’t lost a match since she turned 20 years old this month. She continued the winning streak by catching Suzume in the Front Neck Lock and making her tap out. Kobashi said she is keeping this momentum for her upcoming International Princess Title shot.

Hyper Misao was confident she would win her match against Arisu Endo because of the 2 Count Rules. She almost lost when Endo grabbed her cloak to choke her over the ropes and drag her into the ring for a Knee Drop. With time running out, Endo attempted a Camel Clutch but Misao slipped out and pinner her with a Gedo Clutch.

Every match on the show had a 7 minute time limit. Nao Kakuta Vs Mirai Maiumi was the first bout to run out of time and end in a draw so it restarted under 1 Count Sudden Death Rules. Kakuta went in for the kill but Maiumi cut her down with a Short Range Lariat to get the win. The result of this match put the Autumn/Winter team in the lead for the first time.

The next match ended in a Time Limit Draw too but for completely unexpected reasons. Mizuki and Yuki Kamifuku fought their way over to the venue bar where vials of liquor were left on the counter. Kamifuku tried to force Mizuki to drink the alcohol but Mizuki turned the tables and made Kamifuku drink it. The two went back into the ring where Mizuki tricked Kamifuku to drink more as a toast but she was still able to kick out of pins until the time ran out. Mizuki offered her opponent another drink at the restart immediately pinned her with an Inside Cradle.

At the halfway point the score was tied 3-3. Yuka Sakazaki put the Autumn/Winter team ahead by taking out Mahiro Kiryu. They went back and forth with Kiryu hitting the Spinebuster. But in the end Sakazaki hit back with Elbow Strikes and won with the Magical Merry-Go-Round.

The big upset of the show happened when Pom Harajuku defeated the Autumn/Winter team captain Rika Tatsumi! At first the time expired right when Tatsumi was about to hit the Twist Of Fate. Then in the restart, Harajuku dodged a Hip Attack and Tatsumi hit Daisuke Kiso by mistake. Tatsumi got the better of Harajuku afterwards but there was nobody around to count the pin. Tatsumi revived the ref but Harajuku rolled her into the Cradle to get the 1 Count pin. Tatsumi took her frustration out on Misao at ringside while Harajuku celebrated.

Hikari Noa threatened to roll Nodoka Tenma around the ring because she is so round. She focused on using different pin holds to keep Tenma down. The plan ultimately worked once Noa applied the Last Supper and Tenma couldn’t kick out.

Raku had the toughest opponent out of everyone. She knew she couldn’t beat Miyu Yamashita through strength so her plan was to use psychological warfare. By using the Good Night Express and a Sleeper Hold, Raku tricked Yamashita into falling asleep. However, Yamashita’s hand fell on top of Raku as they both laid on the mat so the referee saw it as a pin. The loud slap of the ref’s hand on the canvas woke Yamashita up and she gave Raku the Attitude Adjustment out of instinct before pinning her properly.

The score was tied 5-5 going into the main event so the final match was the decider. No winner could be determined between Maki Itoh and Yuki Aino in regulation time. The clock ran out right when Aino attempted to Side Suplex Itoh out of the ring too so at least a potential injury was avoided. In overtime, Itoh fought to put Aino in the Itoh Special. There was so much focus on the struggle that Itoh found an opening to use a Jackknife Pin to get the 1 Count out of nowhere. That result won the series for the Spring/Summer Eleven!

Team captain Nakajima was given the prize vouchers from Tetsuya Koda at the end of the show. She told everyone she still had unused lunch tickets from the last PPV show. They were given to the other team but there wasn’t enough for all of them. They all agreed to give the spare tickets to the wrestlers who won their matches.


Eruption Near The Finish Line

May 20, 2021

I have a very busy weekend coming up in real life so there will be a delay in posting results and reports for a few days.

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “URGENT ANNOUNCEMENT! YOU CAN’T MEET THE PRINCE IN THE CASTLE! NOON!”, 22/05/2021
Tokyo Oji BASEMENT MON☆STAR

1. Mirai Maiumi Vs Haruna Neko
2. Nao Kakuta Vs Arisu Endo
3. Yuki Kamifuku Vs Raku
4. Marika Kobashi Vs Moka Miyamoto
5. Miyu Yamashita & Maki Itoh Vs Yuka Sakazaki & Pom Harajuku

A doubleheader in Tokyo Joshi Pro sees the roster split in two for separate shows. Miyu Yamashita gets to sort out two things at once. She fights Yuka Sakazaki in a preview of Saitama Super Arena and also prepares for the Princess Tag Team Titles match with Maki Itoh.

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “URGENT ANNOUNCEMENT! YOU CAN’T MEET THE PRINCE IN THE CASTLE! NIGHT!”, 22/05/2021
Tokyo Oji BASEMENT MON☆STAR

1. Rika Tatsumi Vs Mahiro Kiryu
2. Mizuki Vs Arisu Endo
3. Hyper Misao Vs Nodoka Tenma
4. Hikari Noa Vs Moka Miyamoto
5. Shoko Nakajima & Yuki Aino Vs Miu Watanabe & Suzume

The lone champion on the evening show is Hikari Noa. Her next opponent Marika Kobashi is on the day show so they are being kept apart for now.

Something to keep an eye on is YUMI’s Twitter account suddenly becoming active again. The former TJPW wrestler graduated from the company last July to focus on her education. This week she suddenly started tweeting daily, counting down the days “until the beginning of history”. The countdown ends this weekend but not exactly towards the TJPW shows. The reveal may turn out to be something other than a return to TJPW or even pro wrestling so we just have to wait and see.

Only one Heaven Summit ~Itadaki~ match is happening on this show because Fuminori Abe Vs Takuya Nomura ended in a time limit draw, eliminating both of them from the tournament. Yasu Urano receives a bye straight to the semi-finals because of this. Daiki Shimomura is coming off of the biggest upset in Round 1, beating two time Itadaki winner Ryota Nakatsu. However that was under 2 Count Rules. Can he do the same against the veteran Minoru Fujita under the normal ruleset?

That means the GHC Heavyweight Title match will be the last match on the show, the KO-D Openweight Title match will be before the GHC match and the Princess Of Princess Title match will be before the KO-D match.

Super Sasadango Machine tried to invade the NOAH show at Korakuen Hall on Saturday to negotiate who he will fight at Saitama Super Arena. Unfortunately he doesn’t understand how wrestlers are able to crash other companies and couldn’t get past the entrance because he had no ticket for the show.

Tokyo Korakuen Hall

1. International Princess Title: Hikari Noa (c) Vs Marika Kobashi
2. Princess Tag Team Titles: Sakisama & Mei Saint-Michel (c) Vs Miyu Yamashita & Maki Itoh

Maki Itoh has a grand vision for 121000000. She wants herself and Miyu Yamashita to hold all the championships in Tokyo Joshi Pro. Yamashita can have the Princess Title, Itoh can get back the International Princess Title and they will also take one Princess Tag Team Title belt each. Now comes the tough job, beating NEO Biishiki-gun. They did it once before in February but NEO Biishiki-gun got their win back in the Max Heart Tournament final a month later. Time for the rubber match!

Now 20 years old, Marika Kobashi is challenging for her first singles title to prove she has grown up. There is some jealousy behind the move because she didn’t like seeing Hikari Noa win the IP Title before she did.

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “SPRING TOUR ’21 ~THE BULLET~”, 15/05/2021
Tokyo Itabashi Green Hall
110 Fans – Super No Vacancy Full House

1. Yuka Sakazaki defeated Arisu Endo with a Sliding Lariat (7:18).
2. Mizuki & Raku defeated Hyper Misao & Mahiro Kiryu when Mizuki pinned Kiryu with the Cutie Special (10:15).
3. Rika Tatsumi, Miu Watanabe & Nao Kakuta defeated Shoko Nakajima, Nodoka Tenma & Haruna Neko by Referee Stoppage when Tatsumi used the Dragon Sleeper on Neko (13:45).
4. Yuki Kamifuku, Marika Kobashi & Pom Harajuku defeated Hikari Noa, Mirai Maiumi & Suzume when Kobashi pinned Suzume with the Running Bulldog Headlock (11:48).
5. Miyu Yamashita & Maki Itoh defeated Yuki Aino & Moka Miyamoto when Yamashita pinned Miyamoto with the Skull Kick (14:26).

Today was the first time in three weeks Tokyo Joshi Pro held a show in front of an audience. Miyu Yamashita said in that period without fans she was able to get stronger and win the Princess Of Princess Title. Then Maki Itoh stepped in and said it was thanks to her because those two can achieve anything together. Itoh asked if Yamashita wants another championship because she wants them to challenge NEO Biishiki-gun for the Princess Tag Team Titles! Yamashita was surprised by the idea but looks forward to it. 121000000 will get their title shot in Korakuen Hall on 17th April. Backstage Itoh said she ultimately wants 121000000 to have all the championships in TJPW so they will have two belts each.

Ever since her debut at 14 years old, Marika Kobashi has never challenged for a singles championship. She never had the confidence to believe she could do it. So it annoys her to see Hikari Noa, who debuted after her, become the International Princess Champion looking cool and confident. Kobashi turns 20 years old in a few days and she wants a title shot as a sign that she has grown up. Noa accepted the challenge and the match will happen on 17th April. Both have promised not to lose. Backstage Kobashi mentioned that if it wasn’t for the pandemic, she was supposed to attend an American university for half a year starting this month. She can’t do that now so she will chase after the IP Title instead.

*Rika Tatsumi fails in V3. Miyu Yamashita becomes the 8th Princess Of Princess Champion!

As Tokyo Joshi Pro heads on the long journey to “CYBERFIGHT FESTIVAL 2021”, the landscape went through a big shift inside an empty Korakuen Hall today. Miyu Yamashita is now a 3 time Princess Of Princess Champion after she won it from Rika Tatsumi. She got a big hit in early with a High Kick. Tatsumi recovered to take control with Hip Attacks and submission holds. A back and forth saw kickouts to both the Attitude Adjustment and the Twist Of Fate. Tatsumi thought she had her opponent worn out with the Dragon Sleeper so she climbed the turnbuckle for the Missile Hips. Yamashita surprised her by catching her with a block and following through with a German Suplex. Tatsumi tried to stay in the fight by throwing more Hip Attacks until Yamashita knocked her silly with the Skull Kick. Tatsumi was able to kick out of the pin but another Skull Kick followed by the Crash Rabbit Heat brought the end to her title reign.

Yamashita herself was a little light headed after the match and needed confirmation from Maki Itoh at ringside to register that she won the match. She is sad that there were no fans in Korakuen today but is happy that they got to watch her on their screens at home. She invited Yuka Sakazaki into the ring to confirm they will face each other for the Princess Title at Saitama Super Arena on 6th June. Sakazaki calls it the match to determine the strongest in TJPW, and she’s going to win. Yamashita hopes the match will happen in front of a big audience so she’ll become even stronger as a champion.

NEO Biishiki-gun had their hands full against BeeStar in their first Princess Tag Team Titles defence. Mei Saint-Michel had her fun bullying Suzume until Suzume Dropkicked the silver tray into Saint-Michel’s chest. Mirai Maiumi sent the champs packing with a Double Lariat and then held them outside the ring for Suzume to dive onto them. Back in the ring Suzume went to do the Ring A Bell but Saint-Michel pushed her into Sakisama for a Big Boot. They then did the Tarte Tatin but Suzume kicked out at two. Sakisama got rid of Mirai with a High Kick which meant there was no one to rescue Suzume from giving up to the Saint-Michel. BeeStar may have earned a little bit of Sakisama’s respect though. She didn’t remember them before but today she learned who they are. They will have to give NEO Biishiki-gun thousands of reasons why they deserve a rematch but Sakisama will give them another go if she ever feel likes it.

The big upset of the day came when Hikari Noa beat Yuki Kamifuku to win the International Princess Title! Noa brought the fight out of the ring where Kamifuku was thrown into the ring post. Chairs were piled up on the floor but it was Kamifuku who slammed Noa onto them. Kamifuku caused more damage using chairs before the match went back to the ring. The match took a lot out of both wrestlers. Kamifuku climbed the ropes but Noa caught up with her to hit a Modified Avalanche Uranage. Back on their feet, Noa then hit the Blizzard Suplex for the three count, winning her first championship in her career. Backstage Kamifuku admitted that today Noa was a proper idol. She didn’t wear colored contact lenses and her concert performance at the start of the show was sharp. Kamifuku lost her title but thinks she is about to graduate into something bigger. She will become the Fujiko Mine of Fujisawa! Noa had a lot on her mind after winning the title. Her original tag team partner was the first champion and she was never able to have a title match against her. Then her most recent tag partner Sena Shiori said she wanted to see Noa win the title. Noa now wonders if this is her next step in becoming the Best Death Match Queen in the world. Whatever happens to her next, she wants to dye the IP Title in her colours and not the colour of Kamifuku.

Sakazaki won the 3 Way Match to become the No. 1 Contender, besting both Mizuki and Shoko Nakajima. At first The Magical Sugar Rabbits worked together but Mizuki broke the link by attacking Sakazaki when the chance presented itself. Mizuki and Nakajima then worked together to go 2-on-1 against Sakazaki. The loop was completed when The Miraclians helped each other out against Mizuki. A big scramble of finishers at the end had Nakajima give Mizuki the Northern Lights Suplex. But Sakazaki snuck in and pinned Nakajima with the Koromogawa to take the victory and book her place in Saitama Super Arena.

The debuting Yuki Arai started off her tag match with Arisu Endo but it was only a matter of time until she faced Maki Itoh. Obviously Arai was fighting from the bottom against those two but had Miu Watanabe there to keep things even. Watanabe distracted Itoh long enough for Arai to dodge the Flying Big Head. Arai then hit her signature moved, the Kakato Otoshi axe kick that she calls Finally (named after the SKE48 song). Endo broke the count so Arai went to do the move again. Itoh dodged it this time and Headbutted the rookie. She then planted her with a DDT and got her to tap to the Itoh Deluxe. Itoh called Arai weak after the match but also told her there are still fans watching at home who got courage from her performance. This isn’t Yuki Arai the SKE48 idol, it is Yuki Arai the pro wrestler! It doesn’t matter how many years it takes, Itoh is encouraging Arai to come and crush her because Itoh will crush Arai as many times as she wants!

Hyper Misao revealed that she and The Bakuretsu Sisters are the Tojo Tokusatsu Club and they prepared a secret plan called Formation A. It was supposed to be a combined attack when Nodoka Tenma & Yuki Aino carried Misao over their heads but it collapsed in failure. Raku then did the Good Night Express with Nao Kakuta & Marika Kobashi for added insult. The Tokusatsu Club regained their senses to win the match. After all, Tokyo Dome City is a sacred place not just for pro wrestling but for superheroes too.

Moka Miyamoto is still searching for her first win, roping in Mahiro Kiryu to help her. She put Pom Harajuku in the Cobra Twist but Haruna Neko broke the hold. Miyamoto then hit a Zero Fighter Kick for another nearfall. Harajuku turned the tables with a Dropkick and won with the Pom Do Justice.

It was an empty arena show but The Up Up Girls (Pro Wrestling) still performed their show opening act.

1. Nodoka Tenma defeated Moka Miyamoto with a Diving Body Press from the 2nd Rope (6:43).
2. Mirai Maiumi & Suzume defeated Maki Itoh & Arisu Endo when Maiumi pinned Endo with a Back Drop (12:59).
3. CHOICE & CHANCE Rules: Nao Kakuta defeated Hyper Misao with a School Boy (7:57).
4. Yuka Sakazaki & Mizuki defeated Shoko Nakajima & Haruna Neko when Sakazaki pinned Neko with a Vertical Drop Brainbuster (13:44).
5. Hikari Noa, Raku & Pom Harajuku defeated Yuki Kamifuku, Yuki Aino & Mahiro Kiryu when Noa pinned Kiryu with the Blizzard Suplex (10:44).
6. Rika Tatsumi & Miu Watanabe defeated Miyu Yamashita & Marika Kobashi when Tatsumi submitted Kobashi with the White Dragon Sleeper (12:27).

Rika Tatsumi got the better of Miyu Yamashita in their final warm up match before Tuesday’s Princess Of Princess Title bout. The final moments of the main event saw Tatsumi and Marika Kobashi as the legal wrestlers. Yamashita attacked Miu Watanabe for cutting off Kobashi’s Guillotine Choke. Tatsumi then got her hands on Yamashita and gave her the Twist Of Fate hanging through the ropes onto the apron. From there Tatsumi put Kobashi in a Dragon Sleeper and turned it into the White Dragon variation for the submission victory. Tatsumi told the fans watching at home she will fight to blow away everyone’s loneliness, so please support her. Yamashita was only able to get one kick in against the champion and now has a damaged neck going into the title match.

At the beginning of the show, Yuki Kamifuku entered the ring after the Up Up Girls opening performance. She threw insults at Hikari Noa, calling her a super unmotivated fake idol. Then she said she would be the better “Blue” member of the Up Up Girls. Noa didn’t want to argue with her so she left the ring with the rest of the unit. Kamifuku then sang “Startin'” by Ayumi Hamasaki in the ring by herself. Noa’s team beat Kamifuku’s team later in the show and Noa offered her a handshake after the match. Kamifuku didn’t respond and left the ring.

The Magical Sugar Rabbits tortured Shoko Nakajima & Haruna Neko by constantly pulling on their tails and tying them together. A crack then appeared in their teamwork when Sakazaki’s Sliding Lariat to Nakajima missed and hit Mizuki instead. Magirabi still won the match and Sakazaki apologized to her partner afterwards. Mizuki pulled a rude face at Sakazaki and left the ring without her.

The match between Hyper Misao and Nao Kakuta was held under CHOICE & CHANCE Rules. A button was placed on one of the turnbuckles. Whenever it was pressed the song “CHOICE & CHANCE” by Juice=Juice would play over the speakers. The match could then be won with 2 Count pinfalls whenever the song was playing. Misao came up with the special because she and Kakuta both debuted in 2015 and both had ACL injuries.
