DDT Around The World – August 2026

September 1, 2026

There is going to come a point where I have to rename this series TJPW Around The World because DDT is solely focusing on their domestic business right now while Tokyo Joshi Pro’s wings are well and truly spread by now. Konosuke Takeshita is the DDT link that keeps the current name remaining for now and I think it won’t last that way forever. TJPW’s international plan has returned to the stage where their wrestlers are winning, defending or challenging for other company’s championships. It’s a nice reminder that these women still have a lot to offer now that they’re no longer being needed for TJPW’s main event scene. As we approach the final months of the year we have another Dallas return to look forward to. What 2027 will have on offer is currently a mystery.

RIOT CITY “MEAN ST MAYHEM – FROM RIOT WITH LOVE”, 01/08/2026
Steam Jacket Brewing, Melbourne, Australia

1. Miki Fortune & Zak Sabbath defeated Kira Summer & Havok when Fortune pinned Summer after a Double Stomp/Death Valley Driver Combo (?:??).

At the end of July we saw that Kira Summer was able to beat her sister Miki Fortune in a match that dragged the whole family into their drama. They faced off again a couple of days later in Riot City Wrestling this time in an intergender tag match. Fortune teamed up with her husband Zak Sabbath to beat Summer and her tag partner Havok. Victory came thanks to Sabbath spitting Mist into Havok’s face, leaving Summer helpless against the two-on-one disadvantage from that point onward.


AEW “COLLISION”, 26/08/2026 (Aired 29/08/2026)
OVO Hydro, Glasgow, Scotland

1. Konosuke Takeshita defeated The Beast Mortos with the Raging Fire (10:18).

You know, a match between Takeshita and The Beast Mortos happening in the UK sounds like something that could have happened during the peak era of BritWres. Like during a Super Strong Style 16 weekend or something. Kyle Fletcher would have been nearby either way just like he was here. He attacked Takeshita after the match, hitting him with the AEW International Title and then laying him out with the Brainbuster.


EVE “EVE X THE WORLD 2”, 28/08/2026
Big Penny Social, London, England

1. EVE International Title: Miyu Yamashita (c) defeated Kay Lee Ray with the Skull Kick (26:03).
*V1 for Miyu Yamashita.

London had a packed weekend to close out the month because of AEW’s return to Wembley. Miyu Yamashita had a big role to play on Friday night where she headlined an EVE show against a newly invigorated Kay Lee Ray. She successfully retained the EVE International Title after a hard fought match but things only got more chaotic from there. First, Kris Statlander walked out. She had won the EVE Title earlier in the show and made it known she wants a rematch with Yamashita. However she brushed past Ray to get into the ring, causing Ray to get back in and start a fight with her. Yamashita kept her nose out of their business and let them fight but then Marina Shafir suddenly got in the ring behind Yamashita and grabbed her in a choke hold to leave her laying!


SETUP “UNDER THE SAME MOON – PUMI 15TH ANNIVERSARY SHOW”, 29/08/2026
The Circus Studio, G Village, Bangkok, Thailand

1. SETUP All Asia Women’s Title: Shoko Nakajima defeated Matcha (c) with the Diving Senton (11:16).
*Matcha fails in V6. Shoko Nakajima becomes the 5th SETUP All Asia Women’s Champion!

The Southeast Asian scene reached a milestone this year regarding the promoter and SETUP owner Pumi Boonyatud. He’s been part of the wrestling industry for 15 years now and put together a big show to celebrate the occasion. He was shown a video of messages from people around the Asian wrestling scene. The Japanese messages were from Hiroshi Tanahashi, Naomichi Marufuji, Sanshiro Takagi, Daisuke Sasaki, Momo Kohgo, Tetsuya Koda, Raku, Pom Harajuku, Emi Sakura and the ChocoPro roster. TJPW were invited to send over someone to challenge Matcha for the SETUP All Asia Women’s Title, a championship that’s been held by TJPW wrestlers in the past. The champion gave a pretty strong hint over who she wanted to face, telling TJPW to send someone “Big” to fight her. Needless to say, Shoko Nakajima became her next challenger and the Big Kaiju beat her to become the new All Asia Women’s Champion! Nakajima was almost beaten by Matcha’s Saito Suplex but she recovered and hit the Diving Senton for the title change.


AEW “ALL IN LONDON”, 30/08/2026
Wembley Stadium, London, England

1. AEW International Title – 3 Way Match: Kazuchika Okada defeated Kyle Fletcher (c) and Konosuke Takeshita when Okada pinned Fletcher with the Rainmaker (13:13).
*Kyle Fletcher fails in V4. Kazuchika Okada becomes the 15th AEW International Champion!

Takeshita is now taking his turn as the third wheel in this feud with The Don Callis Family. The 3 Way Match told the story of Fletcher and Kazuchika Okada purposely getting in each other’s way to and become the crown jewel of the Family. Takeshita tried his best to take advantage while fighting clean (he refused to attack his opponents with a screwdriver when he had the chance) and did a sweet looking double cover from a German Suplex for a nearfall. However Fletcher dropped Takeshita with the Vertical Drop Brainbuster onto the turnbuckle only for Okada to take down Fletcher with the Rainmaker. Okada took a split second to consider pinning Takeshita before choosing to lay on top of Fletcher for the three count. That way he can say he pinned the champion to win back this title.


KITSUNE “KAMIYU GOES HOLLYWOOD”, 30/08/2026
Xander Sports Complex, Carson, California, USA

1. Yuki Kamifuku & Alexis Lee defeated Zara Zakher & Dark Sheik when Kamifuku pinned Sheik with the Diving Famouser (?:??).

The month ended with Yuki Kamifuku and friends travelling over to California where Kitsune put her front and centre in the marketing for their show. Alexis Lee went along to team with her (and Mei Suruga was there too) for a match against Zara Zakher & Dark Sheik. Lee helped make sure that the spotlight would remain shining on Kamiyu in the end. Kamifuku gave Sheik a big Superplex and Lee cut off Zakher with a Spear. Kamifuku later Dropkicked Sheik towards the corner where Lee gave her the Sister Abigail that left Sheik stunned. Kamifuku then scored the win by hitting the Diving Famouser. After the match a bunch of the wrestlers surrounded the ring to congratulate Kamifuku for her career.

The All Asia Women’s Title belongs to TJPW again and there’s a chance that the Queen Of Asia Title that was long associated with Yuki Kamifuku could return too. Mizuki’s match over in Singapore Pro Wrestling next month is a 3 Way Match taking on Crystal and the current QOA Champ, Ms. Selina.

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “THE 13TH TOKYO PRINCESS CUP” Results

August 23, 2026

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “THE 13TH TOKYO PRINCESS CUP”, 23/08/2026
Tokyo Korakuen Hall
927 Fans

2. Sakura Hattori defeated Haru Kazashiro with the Kitcho Kagome (8:53).
3. Enjoy Summer To The Fullest! Bon Odori Dance Match: Yuki Aino, Raku & Pom Harajuku defeated Hyper Misao, Mahiro Kiryu & Shino Suzuki when Aino submitted Suzuki with the Full Nelson Of Love And Fire (11:41).

5. HIMAWARI & Toga defeated Chika Nanase & Kira Summer when Toga submitted Nanase with the Modified Muffler Hold (12:41).

8. 13th Tokyo Princess Cup – Final: Suzume defeated Rika Tatsumi with the Spring Ring A Bell (20:46).

This year’s winner of the Tokyo Princess Cup is someone who is also on track to becoming the queen bee of Tokyo Joshi Pro! All it took was for Suzume to surpass the very person who inspired her to become a pro wrestler in the first place. She faced Rika Tatsumi in the final with both women fighting to win the tournament for the first time. Tatsumi used the fan streamers to her advantage by wrapping them all over Suzume, throwing her into the front row and then jumping into her with a Hip Attack. She then targeted Suzume’s legs in an effort to put a stop to any comebacks. Suzume fought off the persistant Hip Attacks and Choke Holds to catch Tatsumi with a counter attack. There was almost a double knockout when Tatsumi did the Twist Of Fate only for Suzume to hit back with a last ditch Ring A Bell. Tatsumi caught another Ring A Bell to turn it into the Dragon Sleeper but Suzume was able to eventually roll out of it. She then gave Tatsumi a taste of her own medicine by grabbing her neck to choke her! Tatsumi overpowered it and tried to put Suzume in a Sleeper Hold until Suzume used the ropes to bounce herself free and then launch herself into the Spring Ring A Bell for the three count!

After the match Suzume said she became stronger because she admires how much Tatsumi lives her life to the fullest. Today they got to fight each other with all of their might and Suzume couldn’t be happier. She remembers when Tatsumi would call her her arch-nemesis and she is now never going to let that go. Tatsumi gave Suzume a cheeky poke to the head and then hugged her before leaving the ring. Next, Suzume said she has now conquered the hot summer and won’t be stopping there. She called out Yuki Arai to challenge her for the Princess Of Princess Title! She thought Arai is the person who is shining the brightest in TJPW but after today Suzume thinks she can shine even brighter! She is still going to defend her International Princess Title in the meantime but she also wants to fight Arai for the Princess Title too! Arai said she wants to fight Suzume so she can also pour out her love for TJPW. She will give her the title shot at “WRESTLE PRINCESS VII” on 3rd October! Suzume ended the show by telling everyone the day after tomorrow will be the 7th Anniversary of her debut. Before she became a pro wrestler she thought the only dreams she could hold onto were those she had when she was a child. But TJPW has taught her she can have as many dreams as she wants at any age! Meanwhile Tatsumi backstage complained about working so hard this summer that she should be rewarded for it with a raise in salary plus other special bonuses from the company.

Hiroyo Matsumoto was one of the guests paying a visit to TJPW today. Next month she is going to team up with Miyu Yamashita at a “TAKAYAMANIA” show but today they were on opposite sides of the semi-main event tag match. Matsumoto also used this time to get a feel for Yuki Arai, taunting the champion to give her her best shot. Matsumoto would later do her part in holding back Yamashita, lifting her up into a Torture Rack while Shoko Nakajima tried to finish off Arai. But Arai dodged the 619 and threw down Nakajima with the Full Nelson Buster. She then put Nakajima in the Scorpion Death Lock and used all of her strength to make Nakajima tap out to the move. Arai said she is going to sleep well tonight because she avenged her loss to Nakajima in the tournament. As for fighting Matsumoto again, Arai thinks that is kind of a scary idea but she would like to fight her again and again to grow strong enough to beat her. Nakajima was disappointed because she considers Matsumoto to be a pioneer for kaiju wrestlers and Nakajima ended up becoming a punching bag like Anguirus in front of “Lady Godzilla”. Matsumoto admitted she doesn’t know a lot about Anguirus and promised to look it up for Nakajima.

There’s no official name yet for Mizuki, Mei Suruga & Uta Takami but the report on the TJPW website refers to them as The KAWAII Trio so let’s go with that for now. They were all a handful for their opponents. Takami accidentally snapped off Ren Konatsu’s toy sheep then annoyed her even more when she said she didn’t want it in the first place. Suruga stopped Miu Watanabe from giving Takami the Giant Swing and copied her ponytail pose. She then tried to do the Apple Mutilation on Watanabe but Watanabe powered out of it and gave her the Giant Swing instead. Arisu Endo went on a roll against Takami & Mizuki then helped Watanabe set Mizuki up for Konatsu’s Aries Comet. A scramble led to Mizuki taking out Watanabe with the Whirling Candy and then joining Takami in double teaming Konatsu until the Cutie Special ended the match.

Kira Summer spent the last month back in her home country of Australia and now has to catch up with her contemporaries in her first match back in TJPW. HIMAWARI greeted her with Hair Whips while Toga welcomed her back with Body Slams. Chika Nanase tried to even the playing field but ultimately failed. Her effort in avoiding the Absolute Zero was rewarded with an Elbow Smash from Toga that knocked her down. Toga then submitted her with the Muffler Hold that almost bent her over backwards.

For her debut in TJPW, Sumire Natsu told Yuki Kamifuku that she came here wanting to be treated like a serious wrestler. She then immediately contradicted herself by avoiding the opening lock up to gyrate for the fans instead. Kamifuku later said she wouldn’t allow the Bronco Buster to be used in TJPW so she and Natsu got into a Big Boot battle over it. Natsu eventually got to do the move on Kamifuku with Mifu Ashida cheering her on. Ober Eats were finally able to get rid of her when Wakana Uehara lifted Kamifuku up to do an Elevated Big Boot to knock Natsu out of the ring. Kamifuku then went on to pin Ashida with the Famouser. Kamifuku said backstage that as part of her retirement road she asked TJPW to bring in Natsu because she is a character unlike anyone else in the company. In the ring she is flamboyant, intense and over the top but away from that she is kind, considerate and has a strong sense of professionalism. She also thinks Uehara and Ashida could learn a lot about the various possibilities of pro wrestling just from experiencing 0.2% of Natsu. Wrestling in TJPW for the first time made Natsu so nervous, she forgot to bring her makeup bag which she admits is very unlike her. She came here with the goal of becoming a legend in one appearance rather than auditioning for a regular spot but now she is convinced she can make it here. She wants TJPW management to consider booking her more often even if it’s just as a favour to Kamiyu.

Both teams in Match #3 came up with a special rule to celebrate the end of summer. In order for a pinfall to be counted, the wrestlers would have to do a Bon Odori dance beforehand. Music played and everyone danced until Hyper Misao’s team attacked Pom Harajuku’s team from behind. Raku led her partners in the Oyasumi Express while the music played. Mahiro Kiryu used her Apology Knee Drop to try and do the dance. Yuki Aino put Shino Suzuki in the Full Nelson Of Love And Fire so Suzuki called for the music in order to try and dance her way out of the move. It actually worked and she almost pinned Aino with the Rolling Back Cradle afterward. Unfortunately Aino kicked out of it and quickly put Suzuki back in the Full Nelson to make her give up.

Two wrestlers who were both dealing with the disappointment of first round exits were put in the ring against each other in the undercard. The experience of Sakura Hattori won out against Haru Kazashiro in the end. After Kazashiro got a nearfall with a Low Cross Body, she wanted to use the Fisherman Suplex next. Instead, Hattori spun her way free and used a Leg Sweep to trip Kazashiro down. She then tangled her up in the Kitcho Kagome to pin her for the three count.

It’s been eight months since Shion Kanzaki debuted in TJPW and now that there is a rookie who debuted after her, the time has come for Kanzaki to earn her first win! She defeated Momo Sato to kick off the show, grabbing Sato in a Standing Armbar before slamming her down to the mat and wrenching in further for the submission. Sato did put up a fight by doing the Kneel Kick and a Crab Hold before that though. She said she trains with Sato a lot and knows how talented she is so she wasn’t sure she could beat her today. She wants to continue winning matches so she can go into her upcoming homecoming show with her head held high.

The show opening call that usually takes place with The Up Up Girls (Pro Wrestling) included a special guest this time. A 4th grade elementary student named Yuzuki was chosen to join in with the group and tell everyone the show was starting. She said her favorite wrestlers are Kamifuku, Uehara and Raku.

At the start of the show it was announced that TJPW will be working with the manga author Go Nagai for “WRESTLE PRINCESS VII” later this year. Nagai is known for his works including Cutie Honey, Devilman, Mazinger Z and UFO Robot Grendizer. He was also recently inducted into the Eisner Hall Of Fame. Nagai will be collaborating to work on the visual art used for the show’s promotional material.

Recently a new mascot named Tojojo appeared on social media claiming to be the new manager of TJPW. It teased news of an announcement to be made for this show and Rise Shirai revealed it is a Rooftop Garden Pro Wrestling event taking place at Gran Hammer in Shinbashi on 10th October. The show will consist of an all you can eat BBQ, a performance by The Up Up Girls (Pro Wrestling), a talk show featuring TJPW wrestlers and also mat pro wrestling matches that promised to include the use of water cannons.

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.

“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.

*The IInspiration fails in V2. Daydream becomes the 21st Princess Tag Team Champions!
9. Princess Of Princess Title: Yuki Arai (c) defeated Arisu Endo with the Finally (20:38).
*V2 for Yuki Arai.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “TJPW INSPIRATION” Results

April 18, 2026

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “TJPW INSPIRATION”, 18/04/2026
TOKYO SQUARE In Itabashi
222 Fans – Super No Vacancy Full House

1. Kakeru Sekiguchi & Mahiro Kiryu defeated Kira Summer & Chika Nanase when Kiryu pinned Nanase with the Spinebuster (11:25).
2. Mifu Ashida defeated Papillon Akemi with the German Suplex (12:34).
3. Mei Suruga defeated Ren Konatsu with the Gâteau Invisible (11:08).
4. Arisu Endo & Haru Kazashiro defeated Rika Tatsumi & Shion Kanzaki when Endo pinned Kanzaki with the Ju no Okite (18:32).

While the majority of the Tokyo Joshi Pro roster went over to America, those who remained in Japan held their own show, the next edition of the “TJPW INSPIRATION” series of shorter wrestling events that are a little bit different than usual. In the main event Rika Tatsumi took a break to go get food for herself & Shion Kanzaki. They also force fed their opponents with the food. Arisu Endo & Haru Kazashiro launched a successful comeback with Kazashiro diving onto the other team and Endo then finishing off Kanzaki with the Ju no Okite. After the match, Kazashiro sent out a message of thanks to Suzume for successfully defending the International Princess Title in America. She owes so much of her career to Suzume which is why she wanted her to be the champion for her 4th May title shot. Endo then announced that she wants to be the next person to challenge Yuki Arai for the Princess Of Princess Title! She actually called Arai backstage after the show to challenge her directly after figuring out it was 10pm over in Las Vegas so she should still be awake. Arai answered the call, confirmed she watched the show on Wrestle Universe and accepted Arai’s challenge!

Last year Mei Suruga and Ren Konatsu got to wrestle each other in a tag match at “WRESTLE PRINCESS VI” but today was their first singles match against each other. Suruga refused to shake Konatsu’s hand before the match and then got into a pose-off to see who is cuter. She then clipped off the toy sheep from Konatsu’s belt to taunt her further. Konatsu tried to fight back but missed the Aries Comet, allowing Suruga to trap her in the Gâteau Invisible and make her tap out. Suruga said she had so much fun today and was bursting with motivation because whenever the TJPW roster travels overseas, it feels like Japan is left entrusted to wrestlers like herself. She thinks Konatsu has a lot of room for growth so she hopes they can wrestle each other more and more. She is also excited to form “The Ultimate Sister Trio” of herself, Mizuki & Uta Takami at the 4th May Korakuen Hall show. Konatsu said she aimed to bite the “big apple” right down to her core but instead it was herself who was eaten alive today.

Mifu Ashida’s cheerleading talents convinced Papillon Akemi to give it a go during their match. It eventually became a distraction so they went back to wrestling each other. Akemi lost focus and became vulnerable to Ashida doing the German Suplex to get the victory.

Twin magic prevailed in the opener! Kakeru Sekiguchi & Mahiro Kiryu kept finding ways to use their similar likenesses in order to confuse Kira Summer & Chika Nanase into forgetting who was who. Not every plan worked but the confusion led to Nanase accidentally knocking down Summer with a missed attack. Sekiguchi then sent Nanase into Kiryu’s way for the Spinebuster to end the match.

MYSTERY WRESTLING X BAKA GAIJIN + FRIENDS Results

March 17, 2026

BAKA GAIJIN + FRIENDS/MYSTERY WRESTLING “MYSTERY WRESTLING X BAKA GAIJIN + FRIENDS”, 17/03/2026
Tokyo ARENA Shimokitazawa
??? Fans – Unannounced

1. Baliyan Akki & Mei Suruga defeated Dark King Ueki & Princess Ram (w/ Munek) when Suruga pinned Ueki after the Dolphin Press (10:50).
2. HADDY & Junior Benito defeated Antonio Honda & Trans-Am ★ Hiroshi when HADDY submitted Honda with the Crossface (10:25).
3. MAO defeated Fuminori Abe with an Side School Boy (12:55).
4. Chris Brookes & El Phantasmo defeated Evil Uno & Kikutaro when Phantasmo pinned Uno with the CR II onto the Plastic Box filled with firecrackers (20:44).

Evil Uno did not come alone for his latest tour of Japan. He brought along some buddies from Mystery Wrestling to be the “Friends” in Baka Gaijin + Friends this month! The two wacky wrestling promotions joined forces for a joint show and Chris Brookes personally welcomed Uno to ARENA Shimokitazawa. The two would face off in a main event tag match with mystery partners. Brookes expected Uno’s partner to be a Canadian wrestler but couldn’t guess who because the other Canadians who travelled over had already wrestled on the undercard. Uno couldn’t afford that but had a friend in Japan willing to team with him. It was Kikutaro! Uno also expected Brookes to have a Japanese tag partner except Brookes admitted he got a Canadian wrestler instead… El Phantasmo! The match was chaotic and full of nonsense that ended up bringing in plastic boxes and firecrackers. Brookes filled up one box with the firecrackers and ELP smashed Uno through it with the CR II to win the match. Brookes then sprayed everyone with a fire extinguisher after the match.

MAO and Fuminori Abe didn’t want to blow the roof off with their match but they almost fell through it! They fought their way outside the building up to the roof where there is a glass ceiling overlooking ARENA Shimokitazawa. They carefully put each other in submission holds while avoiding taking any impactful steps onto the glass. They made their way back down to the room safe and sound but now MAO wanted to try and make Abe throw up. A Thrust Kick to the stomach made Abe gag out some fluid and go double over, allowing MAO to cradle him with an Onryo Clutch to get the win.

The two other Mystery Wrestling talents involved in the show were HADDY & Junior Benito. No matter what experiences they had in Mystery Wrestling before, they had to expect the unexpected against Antonio Honda & Trans-Am ★ Hiroshi. Or in this case they had to expect the expected because when does Honda wrestle a match without ever doing a Gongitsune joke these days? Honda told his joke in English so they could understand but they still got their eyes poked after it. Things went wrong for Honda & Hiroshi when their Double Bionic Elbow spot hit each other instead of their opponents. HADDY took advantage and pulled Honda down into the Crossface to make him tap out.

Mystery Wrestling has also worked with ChocoPro in the past so it was only fitting for the BestBros to have a match on this show. Baliyan Akki & Mei Suruga had to not only fight off Dark King Ueki & Princess Ram but had to worry about the injured Munek interfering with his magic spells. And by magic spells I mean hitting Akki in the back with his crutch. Kaichow dealt with that by grabbing the magic wand off Munek to redirect one of his spells into Ueki and she then snapped the wand in half. The BestBros then pinned Ueki with the Dolphin Press which is impressive given the very tight space inside that bar.

9. Princess Of Princess Title: Miu Watanabe defeated Mizuki (c) with the Spinning Tear Drop (22:58).
*Mizuki fails in V4. Miu Watanabe becomes the 16th Princess Of Princess Champion!

It took nine months but Miu Watanabe has regained her spot in Tokyo Joshi Pro as the Princess Of Princess Champion! She was warned by Mizuki not to mess with her and the champ tried to break down Watanabe with big moves like the Cutie Special, the Diving Foot Stomp and the Face Lock. Watanabe’s power became an effective counter through the use of Power Slams and the Giant Swing. She also carried Mizuki up to the top rope so she could Avalanche Power Slam her right back down to the canvas. Mizuki got a nearfall with the Whirling Candy and tried going for the Cutie Special. But Watanabe countered it into a High Angle Tear Drop and then out-grappled her into do a spinning version of the Tear Drop for the victory.

After the match Watanabe said this was her second title match with Mizuki this year and it feels like she’s had her all to herself. There is no other princess like Mizuki because she is kind and considerate so Watanabe is happy to win the belt that Mizuki made shine so brightly. Now as the summer is about to end, Watanabe will make sure the Princess Title will shine even brighter! After she said that, Yuki Aino entered the ring and said the match that just happened was too amazing. She used to consider herself as Watanabe’s rival because they both debuted in the same year but before she knew it Watanabe has gone way ahead of her. Aino wants to have a passionate title match with the new champion to prove her worth. Watanabe said they haven’t fought each other much lately so she would like to see Aino being passionate in the ring up close in person. She accepted the challenge and the match will take place at Korakuen Hall on 18th October. Watanabe can become the Summer princess and Autumn princess all she wants because all Aino is aiming for is to become champion! When Aino left the ring, Watanabe told the fans she will make TJPW become the biggest dreamland in the world!

The Princess Tag Team Titles were on the line in a rematch from Las Vegas but Hyper Misao predicted the outcome would be the same. She then asked Wakana Uehara if she is ok to wrestle after losing a few teeth recently. Uehara defiantly told her she can fight and proved it by pulling out a hamburger and taking a bite out of it! She even decided to bite Shoko Nakajima in the arm later in the match! Kyoraku Kyomei had to go back to their other usual tricks like Misao spraying the other team or crashing her Hypami Mobile into Mahiro Kiryu at ringside. However Yuki Kamifuku proved to be the difference maker. She prevented Nakajima from doing the Locomotion Northern Lights Suplex and instead cut her down with the Diving Famouser to win the match.

Backstage Kamifuku talked about how much she hates competing in important matches like title bouts and tournament finals because they are such hard work. But she didn’t want to let Uehara down and summoned a rebellious spirit to win and look cool towards her partner. She also explained that despite being a regular for TJPW all this time, she’s really been a freelancer wrestling for the company through an entertainment agency. She doesn’t know if she needs to speak to Sanshiro Takagi or Tetsuya Koda about this but now that she’s won a second TJPW championship it is time for her to become a full time member of the company! Uehara said if it wasn’t for Kamifuku, she would have broken down after her injury and wouldn’t be here as a champion right now. Kyoraku Kyomei were hoping to hold the Tag Titles long enough for their annual singles match on 4th January next year. They didn’t underestimate Ober Eats but they admit they fought a version of them they’ve never seen before. Nakajima & Misao lost today so they’ll go become even stronger in ways the other team have never seen before!

Arisu Endo’s smile has grown a little bit wider because she has won the International Princess Title! The vacant belt was up for grabs with Endo having to face Priscilla Kelly instead of her originally opponent Jada Stone. Kelly tried to throw Endo off her game early then switched to being more aggressive as the match went on. Endo wore her down with a Sleeper Hold and a Camel Clutch, keeping her grip on her submission even after Kelly tried to slam her way out of it. Kelly used her own skills with a counter attack that included a Sliding German Suplex and also a Dragon Suplex. But Endo fought her way back with a Thrust Kick that set up the match winning Ju no Okite. Endo joked about how heavy it feels to hold the belt. She is overjoyed that for the first time in her life she won something all by herself. With this belt she hopes to go visit many fun places where she can eat delicious food. Her summer has been scorching hot and she wants it to get even hotter like up to trillions of billions of degrees!

Aino earned her claim for a Princess Title shot by joining the short list of people in TJPW to ever have made Miyu Yamashita submit! Yamashita thought Ryo Mizunami was going to be the big target to break down so she and Kaya Toribami focused their efforts against her. Aino didn’t want to be left out though and made sure to go after Yamashita when Mizunami broke through the other team. Aino dodged Yamashita’s kicks and dropped her backwards with the Venus DDT. Then from there she applied the Full Nelson Of Love And Fire. Mizunami did her best to hold Toribami back and Yamashita had no option but to give up. Backstage Mizunami called Aino amazing for achieving that result with the fire she brought out today. Aino asked her to come back to TJPW again so Yukiniki can team more often. Toribami said she was sure her team would win because she thought she had great chemistry with Yamashita. The two of them also want to keep teaming together so they can get stronger next time.

It was Hiroyo Matsumoto’s first appearance in TJPW and she wasn’t interested in shaking hands with her opponents. Although she did quip out some greetings to Haru Kazashiro & Toga while she was wrestling them. When she wasn’t “making friends” she was aiding Yuki Arai in controlling the match. She grabbed Toga to seperate her from Kazashiro, giving Arai the space to hit her finisher and win. Matsumoto said she couldn’t afford to lose since her team had a master-disciple dynamic. She also wants Arai to tell her all about TJPW, like if Kazashiro & Toga felt scared fighting her? Arai calls Matsumoto the foundation that helped give birth to her wrestling career. She also remembers the two moves Matsumoto taught her for Tofu Pro Wrestling were the Heel Drop and the Back Elbow. She admitted she forgot to do the Back Elbow back then which made Milano Collection A.T. made at Matsumoto. But Arai remembered to do it today! Matsumoto thinks the move should now be named The Back Elbow Dedicated To Milano. As for Kazashiro & Toga, they are feeling completely defeated by fighting and outsider like Matsumoto. But they think it will make them mentally stronger so if she ever returns they will be more ready to stand against her again.

A few small flags were placed in opposite corners for the Flag Scramble Death Match. Rika Tatsumi and Pom Harajuku were tasked with grabbing the other’s flag in order to use a weapon. Tatsumi got one first and after Harjuku chased after her, the weapon was revealed to be a bag of 100 colorful plastic balls. Harajuku scattered the balls everywhere and threw them one by one at her opponent. Tatsumi then grabbed the other flag and the weapon turned out to be a large folding fan. She used it at first but then decided she can win without using any. Harajuku then grabbed a flag and received two mega penlights to use against Tatsumi’s fan. The final flag was captured by Tatsumi which allowed her to use the GM Tetsuya Koda as a weapon! He was relunctantly dragged into the ring and thrown at Harajuku. Tatsumi then jumped off the top rope with the folding fan but hit Koda over the head with it by mistake. Tatsumi grabbed the penlight and charged Harajuku only to get rolled up and pinned for the three count. Harajuku wondered what would happen today but since it was a death match with toys in it she knew she would win because she’s a three year old and toys are for babies! She then pointed out the weapons Tatsumi chose were not toys at all so she was actually lucky to win. Tatsumi couldn’t believe she lost to Harajuku and called it the biggest stain on her life. She blames Koda for this!

HIMAWARI decided to rely on her best weapon to try and beat Aja Kong. That weapon is her long hair braids which she explained she is allowed to use because they are part of her body. But when she charged in to whip them around, Kong held her at a distance by her head and then knocked her down with a slap. Kong then tortured HIMAWARI by pulling at her hair, claiming that she isn’t breaking any rules because she is simply grabbing a part of HIMAWARI’s body. Kong continued to use that loophole by claiming her steel can is a part of her body so she can hit HIMAWARI with it as much as she wants! HIMAWARI tried her best to block the attack but eventually took a blow to the head from it. When Kong went for the Back Drop, HIMAWARI fought her off by using Hair Whips but made the mistake of trying to lift her up for the Princess Drop. Instead Kong gave her a Lariat for a nearfall and then the Back Drop to get the win. She gave HIMAWARI some words of encouragement after the match. Backstage she described how dangerous HIMAWARI’s hair is by comparing it to Acrobatic Silky from Dandadan. She warns the next time they fight she will have to cut it off her head! Meanwhile HIMAWARI is threatening to smash the steel can to bits with her hair!

We have entered into a new era of the Iron Man Heavymetalweight Title. Behold the era of Mahironman! Pokotan entered the Battle Royal first as the defending champion but already suffered a bad omen when the mascot’s head fell off. Then during the match Chika Nanase knocked the head off again causing the faceless mascot to briefly transform into Keiju Muto and pin her with the Shining Wizard. Raku entered the match armed with a pillow and formed a very brief alliance with Pokotan before betraying him. Ram Kaichow then entered the match thinking Pokotan was actually Raku inside the costume. So when the real Raku saw them hugging and dancing together, she attacked both of them with the pillow and pinned Pokotan. However since the pillow was directly on top of Pokotan during the pin, Daisuke Kiso declared Raku’s Pillow was now the champion! The Pillow also eliminated Shino Suzuki when Kira Summer gave her the Samoan Drop with the pillow in between them. Raku eliminated Summer and then patched things up with Kaichow to knock Mifu Ashida out of the ring while Mahiro Kiryu was confused by all of the pillow spots. Kiryu ended up getting Raku to accidentally eliminated Kaichow and then gave her the Spinebuster on top of the pillow for the three count. Kiso ended the match there because he counted the pin on both Raku and the pillow, making Kiryu the new champion! Kiryu would like to welcome all challengers to come fight her for the title but she is feeling tired at the moment and requests to get some rest first. Then when she’s ready people can come challenge her in moderation.

The opening match was filled with kindred spirits in multiple pairings. Suzume was teaming with Ren Konatsu who she inspired to become a pro wrestler. Mei Suruga came over from ChocoPro to team up with Uta Takami and the two of them are as close as sisters given how similar they behave. Plus Suzume and Suruga being in the ring again gave fans a Meibee Surprise reunion. But those two ended up cancelling each other out, leaving Konatsu to duke it out against Konatsu. Suzume made it back in to cut off the Koala Clutch only for Suruga to take her out with a Diving Cross Body. Takami went back to Konatsu with a short range Dropkick before applying the Koala Clutch again, getting the submission win. Takami said her wish came true because she wanted to win with Suruga in Ota Ward. Suruga wished it would have happened under better circumstances since both her and Suzume were recently champions at the same time but they both no longer have any. But she sees how Suzume is looking forward so she will do the same and hopefully some day it will lead them to having a singles match against each other.

Three new trainees were introduced to the fans at the start of the show. They are currently named Shion, Anri and Yuka. All three are currently training with the goal of eventually making their pro debuts.

The first ever TJPW event in Thailand will take place on 13th December! “TJPW LIVE IN BANGKOK” is being held in The Circus Studio with help from SETUP Thailand.
