*V3 for Yuki Arai.

You know for as much as Yuki Kamifuku says she dislikes being in championship matches she made a good go of it today. She upgraded her presentation with new ring gear and turned her match with Yuki Arai into a scrap where there were plenty of kicks aimed at each other’s faces. Kamifuku was fighting an uphill battle when she was put in the Scorpion Death Lock and later couldn’t hit the Famouser. She dodged the Finally only for Arai to catch up with her with the Rookie Award, then hitting her finisher after another attempt. Despite failing to win the Princess Of Princess Title, Kamifuku backstage said today she is the most beautiful and coolest she’s ever been. Her outfit was inspired by Doronjo from the Yatterman series and she wanted a fresh look that reminded her of her early days as a wrestler. She also credited Arai for cheekily stealing some of her moves today, although she admits those moves originally came from Saki Akai and Nao Kakuta. Kamifuku said she isn’t interested in challenging for the Princess Title again because she wants to move at her own pace and is tired of hearing everyone tell her she should be fighting for the white belt.

With three Princess Title defences now achieved, Arai got a surprise for who challenger No. 4 is going to be. Her victory speech was interrupted when Miyu Yamashita who unexpectedly walked down to ringside. It was unexpected because Yamashita was wrestling at an EVE show in England on Friday so she wasn’t advertised to appear on today’s show. She also won the EVE International Title over there and was carrying her latest championship over her shoulder. She told Arai that when she won this belt, the first thing that came to her mind was the Princess Title so she wants to win it back more than ever! Arai revealed that if the choice is up to her, she was going to nominate Yamashita anyway because she has not forgotten about last December’s match where she lost to Yamashita in just over a minute. She cannot accept herself as the true champion until she can beat Yamashita one on one! 18th July will be the day Arai promises Yamashita will never forget because it will be when Arai surpasses her and leads Tokyo Joshi Pro to move forward!

Rika Tatsumi will not accept Uta Takami as Mizuki’s new tag team partner but she has bigger fish to fry after Daydream successfully defended the Princess Tag Team Titles. Daydream want to prove that they are constantly evolving as a team and proved it today with a new tag team finisher. The Daydream Believer is a combination of Miu Watanabe’s Tear Drop with Tatsumi’s Missile Hip Attack. The move was super effective on Takami and won the match for the champions. Watanabe also found a new way to give the Giant Swing to two people at once, spinning Takami around from the front while Mizuki fell back from the piggyback position to be spun around behind Watanabe. Mizuki thinks she should be upset over the defeat but she cannot help but smile. Takami works so hard with her and that’s the reason why Mizuki got to challenge for the tag titles she never thought she would ever reach again. She doesn’t want to stifle Takami’s potential and encouraged her after the match to do what she enjoys. If she happens to be a part of that then she will continue to team with her.

To go along with their evolution, Daydream told the fans they have a new goal for the summer and called out Kyoraku Kyomei to come down to the ring. Daydream lost to them at last year’s “SUMMER SUN PRINCESS” show and want revenge at this year’s event so they are nominating them as their challengers for the show. They expected Shoko Nakajima & Hyper Misao to eagerly accept but instead they refused! Nakajima said they are not ready to fight for the belts so soon after they failed to beat The IInspiration in Las Vegas. Misao also said her memories of that summer are very special to her and it is too early to try and surpass it. The champions disliked their answer and Tatsumi brought up a lesson her grandmother used to say: “He who chases two rabbits catches both!” Daydream got out of the ring and grabbed the pair of sasumata poles they used to torture Kyoraku Kyomei last year! They used the poles to pin Nakajima & Misao into the corners until they convinced themselves that Kyoraku Kyomei accepted the challenge. However nothing has been decided by TJPW yet and Misao is forming the Challenge Cancellation Community to protest any chance of the title match going ahead at “SUMMER SUN PRINCESS ’26”.

How far can an apology take you? All the way up to getting a championship match, I guess. Mahiro Kiryu got to fight Suzume for the International Princess Title and just like Kamifuku in the main event, showed up to her match in a brand new costume. She took Suzume outside the ring and laid her on some of the chairs in the front row so she could do her Apology spot to the fans up close. She also used the apology dogeza to lock Suzume into a Jail Hold. Her momentum was cut off with the Ring A Bell but she was determined to win, shouting that she wants to be a champion after she caught Suzume in the Spinebuster. But Suzume got back to the top rope and did the Flying Facecrusher before pinning Kiryu with the Ring A Bell.

After the match, Wakana Uehara walked out to declare herself Suzume’s next challenger. She remembers an interview where Suzume said Wakana has a very hungry spirit. Today she is much, much hungrier than she was back then and she wants to devour the International Princess Title! Suzume said she loves her hungry spirit and always wanted to experience it in person. But this is a championship so big she doesn’t think Wakana has the appetite to finish it! The title match was agreed on and will take place on 18th July. Backstage Suzume said she wants to thank Kiryu for today because they are very close to each other. She hopes to have another special day like this with her sometime. Uehara said ever since Ober Eats lost the Princess Tag Titles, she was worried about what to do next. After wrestling in singles match recently she now really wants to win a singles title so the time is right for her to challenge Suzume.

The presence of Sumire Uesaka at today’s show led to some chaos happening over the Iron Man Heavymetalweight Title. She was at the show to do commentary as well as watch over the 3 Way Tag Match sponsored by her vampire café Twilight Rouge. Before the show began, Antonio Honda broke into the venue attempting to attack Uesaka for the belt. However Uesaka used her Twilight Rouge powers to send Honda twirling out of the building.

The 3 Way Match showed Kyoraku Kyomei are at their strongest when something is on the line. At least that is according to Misao’s speech at the start of it. Throughout the chaos Raku & Pom Harajuku tried to send their opponents to sleep, Mifu Ashida was almost smothered with a duvet and HIMAWARI’s hair was used for a tug of war by everyone else. Harajuku aimed to hit Pom de Justice on both Nakajima and HIMAWARI at the same time but only got HIMAWARI with it. Nakajima dodged the moves and cradled Harajuku in a Jackkknife Pin to win the 1,000,000 R (Rouge) store credit for Uesaka’s café.

Then the Iron Man Title hijinks broke out after the match. Nakajima bit Uesaka’s arm while receiving her prize, making Uesaka give up the belt to her. Then Misao rolled up Nakajima to become the new champion. Uesaka got so mad she took her prize back and angrily left the ring. However Kyoraku Kyomei followed her back to the commentary table to apologize so she would give it back to them. That was when Harajuku rolled up Misao from behind the win the title from her.

Things did not calm down backstage. Misao decided a trip to the Twilight Rouge would heal her broken heart after losing the Iron Man Title but Nakajima ran off with both certificates. HIMAWARI wasn’t happy with Ashida for using her hair as a weapon and threatened not to team with her again. Then Raku woke up from a nap and discovered Harajuku was now the Iron Man Champion so she started chasing her around the locker room. Harajuku escaped to an empty room where she thought she was safe. Suddenly she found a pair of Hirata GO! glasses and when she put them on, Kazuki Hirata appeared behind her armed with a hammer! Hirata hit Harajuku over the head and pinned her to win the Iron Man Title, presumably bringing the belt home to DDT. Hirata celebrated by saying the Bullet Train ticket will be his. DDT has a contest going on where whoever makes it to “WRESTLE PETER PAN 2026” as the Iron Man Champion will be rewarded with a year long Bullet Train pass that applies for DDT’s regional shows.

MIRAI was very impressed with Haru Kazashiro after their first match together. She is particularly impressed with Kazashiro’s Arm Lock holds since she only has three years of experience. The thought of what Kazashiro can turn into scares MIRAI but she is happy to see a wrestler so young quickly master joint locks when throws and grappling moves are seen to be cooler and more appealing. If Kazashiro can master submission moves to other parts of the body then MIRAI thinks she will become an unstoppable monster! Kazashiro thinks something about herself has changed since her IP Title match with Suzume last month although it’s nothing dramatic. It was strange to fight MIRAI because Kazashiro watched so much of her back in TJPW when she was a fan. She’s happy to have fought her but also feels frustrated over giving her all yet still losing.

Uehara was one step ahead of Toga which frustrated the latter because she thought it was the other way around based on last week’s result in Osaka. When Toga did the Rolling Thunder, Uehara absorbed the blow to grab her into the Banana Pillow. But Toga got out of it and did a Fall Away Slam. She also resisted a Dropkick in order to hit Uehara in the back with the Elbow Strike. She did it again only for Uehara to give her a Suplex and counter the Absolute Zero with an Enzuigiri. That stunned Toga and left her open for Uehara to pin her with the Sushi Tornado. Toga rolled out of the ring afterwards to avoid having to shake her opponent’s hand. Backstage Toga said that simply chasing after somebody she admires won’t be enough to catch her up to Uehara. She’s going to have to move forward in her own way instead.

Things were kind of more friendly between Chika Nanase and YuuRI in their match. YuuRI told Nanase at the start it is nice to see her and they shook hands. It got more intense with Nanase trying to fight from underneath while YuuRI’s tactic was to drain down her opponent’s stamina. Nanase dodged the 619 and also hit a Running Elbow for a nearfall. YuuRI prevented her from applying the Inari Torii and instead rolled her into a Body Scissors Sleeper Hold to win by submission. YuuRI called it a special match because Nanase is fun to wrestle with. She hopes to be invited back to TJPW so she can wrestle with her again along with other people like Toga. Nanase also described the match as a dream that came true that she wished would last forever. However she got a little slap across the face from YuuRI after the match and she won’t forgive her for that!

New costumes were also shown off by Sakura Hattori and Ren Konatsu in the opening match while Yuki Aino had now dyed her hair black. Kira Summer worked over on Shion Kanzaki until Kanzaki was able to tag in Aino. But it was Arisu Endo who took the match home by Super Kicking Konatsu and pinning her with the Ju no Okite. In the locker room Endo told Hattori it’s been a while since they were last in the ring together, then corrected herself and acted like they were now just meeting for the first time. Kanzaki tried to apologise to her team over the result but Aino gave her encouragement because all of the support she’s been receiving is causing her to do her best. Aino also motivated Konatsu to refine her wrestling style and become even more ambitious so she can aim for greater heights.

From the mind of Hyper Misao, the fourth annual “HYPE!” show will be held in Kitazawa Town Hall on 15th September.

DDT Around The World – May 2026

June 1, 2026

It happened. It’s now done. AEW finally made it to Konosuke Takeshita’s match with Kazuchika Okada and got Takeshita out of The Don Callis Family. At last we can move on with our lives and wait to see if Takeshita’s babyface turn will turn out to be more than just a lateral move. His wife Yuka Sakazaki got some more screentime on ROH this month including a PPV main event. MAO & Yoshihiko brought Kazuma Sumi along on their latest adventure in France, giving Sumi some invaluable overseas experience away from DDT. Chris Brookes gave Munetatsu Nakamura a similar opportunity with a wild weekend over in Manila. Will the summer provide even more wrestling to follow around the globe or can we all take a break for the World Cup? Yeah, yeah, yeah, it’s being ruined by American corporate greed and so on but Blue Lock seems to be timing their latest story arc to climax by the time the final takes place so that gives me something to look forward to after Ireland failed to qualify. Also getting to watch South Korea Vs Czech Republic at 3am is the kind of football sicko behavior that’s been missing in my life for a while.

ROH “SUPERCARD SHOWDOWN”, 09/05/2026 (Aired 14/05/2026)
SoFi Center, Palm Beach Gardens, Florida, USA

1. Athena, Billie Starkz & Marina Shafir defeated Yuka Sakazaki, Maya World, Lacey Lane when Athena pinned Lane after the Swanton Bomb from Starkz

So Ring Of Honor taped a few matches at the same indoor golf course AEW was at last month and they didn’t let Yuka Sakazaki loose around the place? That was a missed opportunity. Instead her warmup match for Survival Of The Fittest also involved some of the other participants Athena, Billie Starkz and Maya World. However a lot of Sakazaki’s time in this match was spent wrestling with Marina Shafir and also building up the hot tag to Lacey Lane. She also hit a big dive out of the ring onto Shafir and World but that left Lane fighting on her own. Starkz gave Lane the Swanton Bomb but not before Athena blind tagged herself in so she could get the pinfall and take the glory for herself.


AEW “DYNAMITE”, 13/05/2026
Harrah’s Cherokee Center, Asheville, North Carolina, USA

1. AEW World Title: Darby Allin (c) defeated Konosuke Takeshita with the Coffin Drop (15:29).
*V5 for Darby Allin.

Even though Takeshita’s match with Okada was already on the schedule, he was given a big detour a few weeks before the show by getting an AEW World Title shot. It was the latest defence in Darby Allin’s eventful title run where he crammed in many title defences into one month. Takeshita couldn’t get the job done fast enough so El Clon ran down to distract the ref while Don Callis handed Takeshita the Dynamite Diamond Ring to use as a weapon. Takeshita refused to use it and threw it away. Too bad moral victories don’t win you championships because Allin made his comeback after that which included a Coffin Drop to the outside and also the Scorpion Death Drop on top of the steel steps. He hit another Coffin Drop outside the ring but Takeshita wouldn’t be beaten that way. He tried to make a comeback of his own but Allin cut it off with the Scorpion Death Lock, keeping Takeshita down long enough to land one more Coffin Drop for the win.


ROH “SUPERCARD OF HONOR”, 15/05/2026
Wicomico Youth And Civic Center, Salisbury, Maryland, USA

1. ROH Women’s World Title – Survival Of The Fittest Match: Athena (c) defeated Maya World, Trish Adora, Zada Steel, Yuka Sakazaki and Billie Starkz (26:12).
1a. Athena eliminated Zayda Steel with a Rope-Assisted School Boy (5:01).
1b. Yuka Sakazaki eliminated Trish Adora with the Magical Merry-Go-Round (15:39).
1c. Billie Starkz eliminated Yuka Sakazaki with the Avalanche Star 10 (17:27).
1d. Maya World eliminated Billie Starkz with a Jackknife Pin (21:47).
1e. Athena eliminated Maya World with the O-Face from the Ladder (26:12).
*V36 for Athena.

This turned out to be a mess of a match. It turned into a Hardcore Match midway through because of the whole “No DQs In In X Way Match” booking cliche so Sakazaki got to do an American style plunder match for once. She also scored an elimination by pinning Trish Adora with the Magical Merry-Go-Round. Her time in the match came to an end a few minutes later when some high risk fighting ended with Sakazaki taking Starkz’s finisher from the top rope.

GCW/BZW “NOW OR NEVER”, 23/05/2026
Espace Isabelle de Hainaut, Rue de Saint-Quentin, Bapaume, France

1. BZW Tag Team Titles – 3 Way Tag Match: MBM & Ultima Sombra defeated MAO & Yoshihiko (c) and Jimmy Lloyd & Jeffrey John when MBM pinned Yoshihiko with the Reincarnation Reversal (15:27).
*MAO & Yoshihiko fail in V8. Rivality become the 7th BZW Tag Team Champions!
2. DDT Universal Title – 3 Way Match: Kazuma Sumi (c) defeated Gringo Loco and Leedz Lewis when Sumi pinned Lewis with the Reverse 450 Splash (14:22).
*V2 for Kazuma Sumi.

Kazuma Sumi’s goal of defending the DDT Universal Title overseas finally came to pass this month. MAO got him booked for the BZW collab show with GCW in France. His match wasn’t an easy task at all because he had to fight the former Universal Champion Gringo Loco as well as French wrestler Leedz Lewis in a 3 Way bout where he could lose the title without being pinned. Sumi made the most of his moment and pinned Lewis with the Reverse 450 Splash to keep the belt and impress the fans in attendance. He said afterward that he now has a great sense of accomplishment because he can go do his style of wrestling anywhere in the world. He is eager to compete overseas again and spread his name around the planet.

The same success wasn’t there for MAO & Yoshihiko. Their year and a half long reign as BZW Tag Team Champions finally came to an end in a 3 Way Tag against a BZW team and a GCW team. Everybody brawled out of the venue and Yoshihiko did a dive off of a truck to put Jimmy Lloyd through a table. Rivality brought the belts back to their home promotion in the end when MBM found a counter to Yoshihiko’s finishing move, reversing the pin into one of his own for the three count. MAO feels happy that he got to wreak havoc in four different countries while holding the belts with Yoshihiko. His next goal in BZW is to win a singles championship so then some day DDT can hold a show in Europe!


DXCN “DAKILA II”, 24/05/2026
Brawl Pit Bulusan, Quezon City, Philippines

1. 4 Way Match: Robin Sane defeated Jonathan Johnson, Shaheen and Munetatsu Nakamura (?:??).
2. Dexcon World Title: Jake De Leon (c) defeated Chris Brookes (?:??).
*V5 for Jake De Leon.

Another packed weekend in the Philippines is in the books for Brookes. He wasn’t able to come back to Japan with another championship because Jake De Leon was able to defend his Dexcon World Title against him. Munetatsu Nakamura was also part of the Dexcon weekend, taking part in a high flying 4 Way Match where Robin Sane picked up the win over Shaheen.


AEW “DOUBLE OR NOTHING”, 24/05/2026
Louis Armstrong Stadium, New York City, New York, USA

1. AEW International Title: Konosuke Takeshita defeated Kazuchika Okada (c) with the Raging Fire (19:01).
*Kazuchika Okada fails in V10. Konosuke Takeshita becomes the 13th AEW International Champion!

Being at the show live I can tell you the building was very excited to see Okada Vs Takeshita happen with the match graphic on the pre-show getting one of the largest pops out of the lineup. The match was fantastic even with the Don Callis drama at ringside happening midway through. Callis tried to play neutral by telling Okada not to risk injuring Takeshita. While Okada reluctantly followed that instruction, Takeshita did not do the same when Callis gave him the same order. It still took a lot for Takeshita to finally beat Okada, countering the Rainmaker with his own Lariat and then hitting a big Elbow Strike when the Wagamama only got a one count. But when he finally used the Raging Fire there was no fight left in Okada to kick out and Takeshita became the new AEW International Champion! The sweet taste of victory was quickly spoiled when The Don Callis Family all looked to turn on Takeshita after the match. Kyle Fletcher made his big return from injury to hug Takeshita only to turn on him with a backstabbing attack, confirming that our guy is now kicked out of the Family.


AEW “COLLISION”, 30/05/2026
Propst Arena At Von Braun Center, Huntsville, Alabama, USA

1. AEW International Title: Konosuke Takeshita (c) defeated Daniel Garcia with the Raging Fire (14:27).
*V1 for Konosuke Takeshita.

Takeshita had to get over the heartbreak of ProtoShita being split up by having his first International Title defence against Daniel Garcia. A wrestler like Garcia has some tricks up his sleeve, like countering Takeshita’s top rope Clothesline into an Arm Drag to the canvas where he then applied the Sharpshooter. Takeshita blocked a rolling cradle that would have set up another submission hold, turning it over to a German Suplex. The big Elbow Strike after that set up the Raging Fire and Takeshita got his first defence in the bag, all while Jon Moxley was watching on from the commentary table. Members of The Don Callis Family ran into the ring to attack Takeshita after the match while outside the ring the Death Riders and Shane Taylor Promotions all suddenly appeared to brawl with each other. If that wasn’t chaotic enough, The Conglomeration entered the fight and cleared the room so it was only them and Takeshita left in the ring. So we end the month with Takeshita finding a new bunch of friends (or an old friend in Mike Bailey’s case).

Right, let’s get things out of the way before the World Cup starts. Miyu Yamashita returns to EVE very soon hoping to win gold there again, this time fighting Kris Statlander from AEW for the EVE International Title. As much as I would love to see a result here that follows up from Yamashita’s match with Jamie Hayter last time around, I’m not sure if that’s something EVE is planning for.

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “SHE KNOWS HER WAY ~SHINO SUZUKI HOMECOMING SHOW~” Results

May 16, 2026

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “SHE KNOWS HER WAY ~SHINO SUZUKI HOMECOMING SHOW~”, 16/05/2026
Shizuoka Shimizu Marine Building
237 Fans – No Vacancy

1. Wakana Uehara defeated Shion Kanzaki with the Sushi Tornado (7:59).
2. Hyper Misao defeated Mifu Ashida with the Chickenwing Face Lock (7:21).
3. Miyu Yamashita & Sakura Hattori defeated Raku & Pom Harajuku when Yamashita pinned Harajuku with the Attitude Adjustment (10:08).
4. Suzume & Arisu Endo defeated Mahiro Kiryu & Chika Nanase when Suzume pinned Nanase with the Ring A Bell (13:20).
5. Mizuki, Yuki Aino & Uta Takami defeated Miu Watanabe, Rika Tatsumi & Ren Konatsu when Takami submitted Konatsu with the Koala Clutch (11:58).
6. Yuki Arai defeated Kira Summer with the Scorpion Death Lock (7:47).
7. Shino Suzuki & HIMAWARI defeated Haru Kazashiro & Toga when Suzuki submitted Kazashiro with the Modified Cobra Clutch (14:17).

Today was Shino Suzuki’s day in the spotlight with Tokyo Joshi Pro paying a visit to her home area of Shizuoka. She made the most of it by winning the main event and tapping out Haru Kazashiro to get there. With this being her third homecoming show in her career, Suzuki said she feels very fortunate to get these events and to wrestle with her classmates like HIMAWARI, Kazashiro and Toga. However it frustrates her that she never takes advantage of these opportunities and is always falling behind everyone else. But today proves she will always reach her destination no matter the circumstances. She’ll sometimes get stuck in traffic and may need to take a back road but ultimately she will guide everyone in TJPW to where they want to go. She hopes there will be more homecoming shows for her in the future. HIMAWARI told her she’ll have to win in every main event for them from here on out.

Jealousy is rearing its ugly head towards Rika Tatsumi as she getting fed up of seeing Mizuki getting along with Uta Takami instead of her. Her feelings on the matter are getting noticed by Mizuki and Takami too. Today was the first time in a while Mizuki got to wrestle Tatsumi and see isn’t looking forward to doing it several more times in the near future. Takami says the relationship between those two is scary but also precious. Tatsumi is convinced Mizuki wants to be with her instead of the “naughty koala” and her proof is the way Mizuki clung onto her during the match. Miu Watanabe admits the “naughty koala” can be very annoying but is also very dangerous. They both agree that they should capture it quickly, probably at the next prelim match.

Suzume said that when Mahiro Kiryu asked to challenged her for the International Princess Title, she could see the Kiryu that she spends time with outside the ring rather than the Kiryu that is a pro wrestler. She is happy to put the title on the line against her because Kiryu is both her senior and her friend but she’s a little worried for that reason too. Kiryu is determind to face her and thinks today’s match was good preparation despite being on the losing side. She knows she will have to neutralize Suzume’s strengths but doesn’t want to reveal all of her tricks before the title match.

Whenever TJPW held a show in North America this year, they often relied on a referee who was only ever referred to by the name Mike. Well it turns out after working some of their shows in America and Canada, he has now travelled over to Japan and worked on today’s show! His match just so happened to be the one with Pom Harajuku in it and she screamed in his ears just like all the other times they were in the ring together. Meanwhile Raku brought out a fishing rod with a packet of potato chips attached to distract Miyu Yamashita & Sakura Hattori with. It distracted Yamashita long enough for Harajuku to catch her in a butterfly net. Yamashita took it off her head pretty easily so RakuPom then took out a much bigger net to trap her in. Yamashita eventually got freed and she wasted no time in pinning Harajuku with the Attitude Adjustment.

Hyper Misao wanted to liven up Suzuki’s homecoming show, believing they have a close connection because they both wear the colour green. Her plan was to have Mifu Ashida lead the way with her cheerleading skills but it was all a trap for Misao to attack her before the match began.

Updates From Across Golden Week 2026

May 7, 2026

NOAH “LINE YAHOO PRESENTS SPRING MAYHEM RYOGOKU 2026”, 02/05/2026
Tokyo Ryogoku Kokugikan
4,539 Fans

1. KENTA, Tetsuya Endo & HAYATA defeated Mohammed Yone, Kazuyuki Fujita & Daiki Odashima when KENTA pinned Odashima with the Go 2 Sleep (8:38).
3. 6-Man Tag 3 Way Match: Manabu Soya, Saxon Huxley & Yuki Iino defeated Kaito Kiyomiya, Harutoki & Alejandro and Masa Kitamiya, Takashi Sugiura & Tadasuke when Soya pinned Alejandro with the Passion IS (5:32).

The unit now known as Passion RATEL’S has hit a rough patch lately with some of their members being put on the shelf. They’ve been reduced to just two men but Manabu Soya claimed to have found a new member, someone who is just as filled with passion as he is. The new member is Yuki Iino and he now looks identical to Soya! How the hell did Iino find an even weirder group of people to wrestle with than the Strange Love Connection?

So far this year Tetsuya Endo has been working in NOAH as part of the White Raven Sqwad. The assumption was his excursion to the company from DDT was only for 2025 but he remained in NOAH without ever giving an update. Fans didn’t have to wait much longer because Endo teased an announcement he was going to give at the next day’s show.

NJPW “NUTS RV PRESENTS WRESTLING DONTAKU 2026”, 03/05/2026
Fukuoka International Center
2,477 Fans

5. KONOSUKE TAKESHITA & Shota Umino defeated Chase Owens & Yujiro Takahashi when Umino pinned Takahashi with the Second Chapter (11:43).

Over in New Japan the time has come for Konosuke Takeshita to start making new alliances. He recently fought Shota Umino to a draw over the NJPW World TV Title so there was some clear unfinished business for them to get to. They teamed up on night one of “WRESTLING DONTAKU 2026” and while they won the match, Takeshita rejected Umino’s handshake offer afterwards.

NOAH “AFTER MAYHEM 2026”, 03/05/2026
Shinjuku FACE
468 Fans – Super No Vacancy

5. Manabu Soya & Yuki Iino defeated Atsushi Kotoga & Hi69 when Soya pinned Hi69 with the Passion IS (3:56).
8. KENTA & Tetsuya Endo defeated Shane Haste & HAYATA when Endo pinned HAYATA with the Shooting Star Press (18:42).

Endo gave his announcement the next day. He is not leaving DDT to fully join NOAH but he is not about to go back to his home promotion anytime soon either. Endo wants to leave his mark in NOAH by winning as many of their championships and tournaments as he can so his name will be etched into the history of the GHC Championships. He will not return to DDT until he achieves the results that he wants!

NJPW “NUTS RV PRESENTS WRESTLING DONTAKU 2026”, 04/05/2026
Fukuoka International Center
3,603 Fans – No Vacancy

1. NJPW World TV Title: KONOSUKE TAKESHITA (c) defeated Chase Owens with the Raging Fire (11:32).
*V3 for KONOSUKE TAKESHITA.

Back in New Japan, Takeshita successfully defended the NJPW World TV Title against Chase Owens, surviving a C-Trigger that probably made someone’s life flash before their eyes and having Umino plus others come out to help him fight off the House Of Torture. A masked man attacked Takeshita after the match and revealed himself to be SANADA returning from injury. Takeshita is willing to defend the TV Title against him since he thinks SANADA must by dying to fight him. He then met with several wrestlers from the Hontai unit and asked if he could fight alongside them from now on. Umino said he does not intend to become friends with Takeshita because they are rivals but since Takeshita is choosing to be with New Japan, he is happy to welcome him into the unit.

NOAH “LEGACY RISE 2026”, 05/05/2026
Tokyo Korakuen Hall
1,302 Fans – Super No Vacancy

3. Manabu Soya, Yuki Iino, Daiki Odashima & Super Crazy defeated Kazuyuki Fujita, Mohammed Yone, Atsushi Kotoge & Hajime Ohara when Soya pinned Ohara with the Passion IS (8:32).
5. Shane Haste & Tetsuya Endo defeated KENTA & Katsumi Inahata when Haste pinned Inahata with a Lariat (10:51).

Soya & Iino are quickly proving how much “Passion~!” they have together as a team. They are also currently sharing only one brain cell between them. I can’t argue with the results so far.

MARVELOUS “10TH ANNIVERSARY CELEBRATION”, 05/05/2026
Kanagawa Yokohama BUNTAI
3,492 Fans

3. Miyu Yamashita defeated Senka Akatsuki with the Skull Kick (10:14).

We end with a sight of something that is very rare. Miyu Yamashita wrestling in another joshi company! She will wrestle for women’s companies all across the world but when it comes to Japan, it’s Tokyo Joshi Pro or bust for her. However she had a noteworthy appearance in Marvelous for their big 10th Anniversary show, taking on the promotion’s next big hope Senka Akatsuki. To say she was impressed with her opponent was an understatement. She loved fighting Akatsuki! She’s somebody almost custom built in a lab to take Yamashita’s kicks and keep on fighting. The match ended up meaning so much that Yamashita instinctively shook Akatsuki with her left hand instead of her right. There are different meanings to that (longtime readers of this blog may remember Shigehiro Irie doing this because your left hand is closer to your heart) but Yamashita thinks it represents the start of a new rivalry.

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “YES! WONDERLAND ’26” Results

May 4, 2026

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “YES! WONDERLAND ’26”, 04/05/2026
Tokyo Korakuen Hall
1,087 Fans – No Vacancy

1. Ren Konatsu defeated Shion Kanzaki with the Shoulder Bites (5:45).
2. YuuRI, Wakana Uehara & Kira Summer defeated HIMAWARI, Shino Suzuki & Chika Nanase when Uehara pinned Nanase with the Sushi Tornado (12:12).
3. Mizuki, Mei Suruga & Uta Takami defeated Yuki Aino, Raku & Pom Harajuku when Mizuki pinned Harajuku with the Diving Foot Stomp (12:50).
4. Aja Kong & Yuki Kamifuku defeated Kakeru Sekiguchi & Mahiro Kiryu when Kamifuku pinned Kiryu with the Famouser (9:41).
5. Ryo Mizunami defeated Toga with the Spear (9:48).
6. Shoko Nakajima & Hyper Misao defeated Miyu Yamashita & Sakura Hattori when Nakajima pinned Hattori with a Kitcho Kagome Counter (11:11).
7. International Princess Title: Suzume (c) defeated Haru Kazashiro with the Ring A Bell (12:55).
*V2 for Suzume.
8. Princess Tag Team Titles: Miu Watanabe & Rika Tatsumi defeated Jessie McKay & Cassie Lee (c) when Watanabe pinned Lee after the Daydream Eternity (12:53).
*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 “PURE TOKYO JOSHI PRO WRESTLING 10” Results

April 29, 2026

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “WRESTLE UNIVERSE MEMBERS ONLY SHOW – PURE TOKYO JOSHI PRO WRESTLING 10”, 29/04/2026
Tokyo Itabashi Green Hall
220 Fans – Super No Vacancy Full House

2. Toga-kun Showdown 3 Way Match: Toga defeated Rika Tatsumi and Ren Konatsu by Double Countout (9:50).
3. 5-Woman Superstar Time-Lag Rumble: The Mahirock defeated John Shino with a Sleeper Hold (14:42).
Order Of Elimination: Shinsuke Wakanakamura, Kira Ripley, The Ashidataker and John Shino (14:42).
4. Academic & Athletic Match: Miu Watanabe & Chika Nanase (2) defeated Arisu Endo & Haru Kazashiro (1).
5. Indian Poker Match: Hyper Misao defeated Miyu Yamashita, Shoko Nakajima and Yuki Aino.
5a. Shoko Nakajima was Disqualified for doing the Dragon Ring In.
5b. Yuki Aino was Disqualified for doing the Shoulder Tackle.
5c. Miyu Yamashita was Disqualified for doing the Skull Kick.
6. Costume Change Match: Yuki Arai, Mizuki, Yuki Kamifuku & Raku defeated Suzume, Pom Harajuku, HIMAWARI & Uta Takami when Arai submitted Takami with the Scorpion Death Lock (17:30).

For the tenth time in the company’s history, Tokyo Joshi Pro held a fan club only show opened to members of Wrestle Universe. Matches on these kind of shows go in weird directions and often have uncommon stipulations added to them. The big match to happen on these shows is the Costume Change match where every wrestler involved shows up in another wrestler’s costume. This mix and match included the nicknames being altered for the ocassion. We got Yuki Arai dressed as HIMAWARI (“Genius Cheeky Chap”), Mizuki dressed as Suzume (“Vivid Sugar Custard”), Yuki Kamifuku dressed as Raku (“Up Up Girls (Tall)”), Raku dressed as Yuki Aino (“Sleeping Venus”), Suzume dressed as Mahiro Kiryu (“Passion Blue Mustard”), Pom Harajuku dressed as Toga (“Colorful Snow Crystal”), HIMAWARI dressed as Mifu Ashida (“Rampaging Flower Girl”) and Uta Takami dressed as Mizuki (“Popping Ice Rabbit”). Everyone tried to copy the wrestler they were dressed as but the match ended with Arai using her own moveset to beat Takami. After the match Arai said she has memorized the faces of every Wrestle Universe subscriber in attendance and she wants them to stay members for life.

The Indian Poker match began with every contestant being handed a random card. They were allowed a brief moment to trade the cards with each other without looking and then show everyone the cards without looking at their own. The rule was if a wrestler performed the action that was written on their card, they would be Disqualified. Shoko Nakajima was quickly eliminated when she did the Dragon Ring In, which her card banned her from doing. With every elimination, the remaining wrestlers were given more cards with banned actions on them. Yuki Aino was next to go when she did a Double Shoulder Tackle on the other opponents, which she wasn’t allowed to do. With Miyu Yamashita and Hyper Misao as the last two left, they agonized over trying to figure out which of their moves were banned. Yamashita nailed Misao with the Skull Kick but that turned out to be illegal so Misao won despite getting almost knocked out.

One Count pinfalls were used for the Academic & Athletic Match. When a pin happened, the wrestler was then asked an educational question. The first team to get two questions correct would win the match. Unfortunately the four participants are not the most school smart of wrestlers on the TJPW roster so a lot of questions were answered incorrectly. Miu Watanabe was finally able to get one right by calling Hokkaido the largest prefecture in Japan while Haru Kazashiro evened the score by identifying that red blood cells are what carries oxygen throughout the body. Arisu Endo got several chances at answering questions but kept getting them wrong. Chika Nanase got the winning point when she said photosyntesis is the name of the process by which plants use light to produce nutrients.

A bunch of TJPW wrestlers turned into “Superstars” for one day by impersonating different WWE gimmicks during a Rumble match. Kira Summer entered first as Rhea Ripley and started the match off against Shino Suzuki as John Cena. The next entrant was Mahiro Kiryu fully committed to dressing up like The Rock, padded muscle suit and all. The lights in the room then went out as Mifu Ashida made her entrance as The Undertaker (with Fumirin joining her impersonating Paul Bearer). The last entrant was Wakana Uehara going full on Shinsuke Nakamura. Eliminations then happened one after the other and the match ended with Kiryu putting Suzuki in a Sleeper Hold. Suzuki gave a big smile just like Cena did before tapping out.

Toga had to fight off two admirers in a 3 Way Match. Rika Tatsumi and Ren Konatsu wanted to fight over who liked Toga more with Tatsumi claiming she is Toga’s godmother while Konatsu tried to bribe her with bread. Then when they fought each other they kept each asking Toga to come rescue them. Tatsumi soon got fed up and asked Toga who would she choose. When Toga didn’t answer, she was pushed into Fumirin who all of a sudden started to fall for her too. Toga ran out of the ring and was chased by Tatsumi and Konatsu while Fumirin started the 20 count. Tatsumi and Konatsu spent too much time arguing with each other outside, allowing Toga to get into the ring before 20 and win the match by Double Countout. Toga then patted Fumirin on the head after the match.

The opening bout between Sakura Hattori and Shion Kanzaki was a normal match with nothing unusual happening at all. Hattori continues to use her Shoulder Lock submission to rack up wins.

The silliness of the show started at the very beginning when Fumirin gave some pre-show announcements while talking in a Kansai dialect. A surprise musical performance then happened with Rise Shirai singing the Tokusou Sentai Dekaranger theme song for everybody.

DDT Around The World – WrestleMania Week 2026

April 25, 2026

Writing up this year’s WrestleMania Week report worked out sort of quicker than I expected in regards to the amount of matches to cover, yet some of them were very difficult to track down because of the lack of streaming options available to some of the indies this time around. Tokyo Joshi Pro felt their first burn from their overseas expansion with a low attendance number at Slam Fest. How much that will effect their USA plans for the rest of the year remain to be seen. The reduction of international fans travelling over to Las Vegas again could really be felt on some shows throughout the week. I’d be willing to argue that had just as much effect on the WrestleMania attendance itself rather than just the expensive ticket prices.

The only DDT presence of note in Vegas was Daisuke Sasaki wrestling a few matches. He had a particularly violent match on the New Japan/GCW joint show (that feels weird to type out) that must have left him with a few bruises afterwards. A few TJPW wrestlers spread out across the shows too but the one that sounded noteworthy hasn’t shown up online yet so I’m a little stuck trying to write about it. The week being what it is means some chance meetings happened at some shows, like Miu Watanabe finally meeting her fellow Giant Swing user Claudio Castagnoli.

One of the reasons this report is an incomplete one is thanks to our friend Mizuki Watase. He made the trip over to Las Vegas again after going through a love-hate affair with the city in previous visits for wrestling. He’s written blogs and articles of his past trips where he lost a lot of money but became smitten with the Venetian in particular, naming one of his finishing moves after the casino. This time his trip started off pretty badly with some hotel mishap but his gambling turned into a success this time and for once he left the casino with more money than he had before. Then he spent all the money on booze and got some tattoos while he was drunk. He also wrestled a few matches during the week but I have had no luck trying to find out what they are. That was until I saw a video he recorded of his entrance and it was at the one place I never thought of looking: MicroMania. He was advertised for their week long tour at The Nerd in Fremont Street and he ended up wrestling several matches there. All I could find out is he wanted to do a Spirit Of Ganbare World Title defence for one of his bookings but it was changed to a non-title tag match on short notice (excuse the pun).

PODER~! “PODERMANIA~!”, 15/04/2026
Horseshoe, Las Vegas, Nevada, USA

1. International Tag Team Match: Toga & Jazzy Yang defeated Amira & Lil Marz when Toga pinned Marz with the Absolute Zero (8:47).

The first piece of TJPW action to find that week was when Toga went to “PODERMANIA~!”. The eighth annual women’s wrestling show put together by the man known to most as “Ed In San Antonio” saw Toga teaming up with Jazzy Yang in a winning effort against Amira & Lil Marz. Toga even scored the pinfall in a match that can be best described as not the worst thing to have happened on the show.


PANDEMONIUM PRO “WHATEVER, FOREVER”, 15/04/2026
Bizarre Bar, Las Vegas, Nevada, USA

1. Jiah Jewell defeated Daisuke Sasaki with the Gator Roll (?:??).

Sasaki’s schedule got off to an aggressive start when he went brawling with Jiah Jewell throughout the venue that Pandemonium Pro held their show in. Sasaki had the upper hand throughout a lot of the match because Jewell kept on telegraphing his finisher, the Gator Roll so Sasaki could block it. However things went wrong for Sasaki and he tried going after the ref for it, allowing Jewell to Gator Roll Sasaki for the three count and score the upset win.


TOKYO JOSHI PRO “TJPW LIVE IN LAS VEGAS 2026”, 16/04/2026
Pearl Theater At Palms Casino Resort, Las Vegas, Nevada, USA
424 Fans

1. Yuki Kamifuku & Wakana Uehara defeated Toga & Uta Takami when Kamifuku pinned Takami with the Famouser (10:03).
2. Yuki Aino, Raku & Pom Harajuku defeated Alexis Lee, HIMAWARI & Shino Suzuki when Aino pinned Suzuki with the Venus DDT (14:36).

A report of the show can be found here.


“DEATH VEGAS INVITACIONAL”, 16/04/2026
Horseshoe, Las Vegas, Nevada, USA

1. The Rigged Roulette – House Rules Hardcore Match: Joey Janela & Gringo Loco defeated Gedo & Daisuke Sasaki when Janela pinned Gedo with the Diving Foot Stomp onto a Door (18:44).

Throughout the week Sasaki has been hanging out with an incognito El Desperado but he also got to spend some time with Gedo, particularly for a violent Hardcore Match that took place on Despy’s own show. Gedo took it extreme by bringing out forks to stab Joey Janela & Gringo Loco with. The opposition fought back by putting Sasaki and Gedo through doors along with some wicked chair shots. Loco used a one man Spanish Fly to smash Sasaki through one door only for Sasaki to recover and spin him into La Mistica Crossface Lock with Gedo giving the assist with a fork attack. Janela made the save though and ended up Double Stomping Gedo into oblivion among the wreckage for the three count. Sasaki’s post-match comments were all complaints about how violent the match was. If his upcoming matches are going to continue being like this then he won’t go back to Japan and will cancel his Best Of The Super Jr. appearance instead.


GCW “JOSH BARNETT’S BLOODSPORT XV”, 17/04/2026
Horseshoe, Las Vegas, Nevada, USA

1. Miyu Yamashita defeated Janai Kai by Knockout with the Skull Kick (5:29).

Finally a Bloodsport fight goes Miyu Yamashita’s way and right when Josh Barnett decides to end the whole thing. Janai Kai tried to submit her with the Demon Clutch but Yamashita grabbed her in a Cravate and gave her knee strikes to the head to get out of it. Kanai then switched to kicks leading to wild swinging misses from both wrestlers. Yamashita got the first big hit in with the Skull Kick that knocked Kai straight out. As a bonus for Yamashita, she ended up meeting Nattie Neidhart backstage again as well as Stone Cold Steve Austin!


PRIDESTYLE “OUT OF THIS WORLD”, 17/04/2026
Bizarre Bar, Las Vegas, Nevada, USA

1. Special Single Match: Miu Watanabe defeated Taniya with the Tear Drop (?:??).

I haven’t been able to find a result for the match yet but heard Taniya put on a great performance against Miu Watanabe. This will be updated once I do find out what happened.

April 23, 2026

I’m back home from Vegas and will aim to post the Around The World article about it over the weekend. I haven’t spent much time looking over what happened outside of the shows I went to.

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “YES! WONDERLAND ’26”, 04/05/2026
Tokyo Korakuen Hall

1. Ren Konatsu Vs Shion Kanzaki
2. YuuRI, Wakana Uehara & Kira Summer Vs HIMAWARI, Shino Suzuki & Chika Nanase
3. Mizuki, Mei Suruga & Uta Takami Vs Yuki Aino, Raku & Pom Harajuku

8. Princess Tag Team Titles: Jessie McKay & Cassie Lee (c) Vs Miu Watanabe & Rika Tatsumi
9. Princess Of Princess Title: Yuki Arai (c) vs Arisu Endo

It’s all set for Golden Week. Five years ago Yuki Arai had her pro wrestling debut with Arisu Endo as one of her opponents. Now they are going to fight for the Princess Of Princess Title as part of Arai’s 5th Anniversary! Endo has thought of Arai being TJPW’s ultimate hero but that’s a role she wants for herself. Arai thinks this match is fate because many of her important matches have involved Endo.

The IInspiration were given a fair warning by Miu Watanabe that Rika Tatsumi wanted to meet them. Now they have to deal with Daydream as their next challengers for the Princess Tag Team Titles. Since Jessie McKay & Cassie Lee aren’t in Japan at the moment, Daydream have found two dolls and decorated them to look like The IInspiration. They claim they are just doing it to be cute but everyone else can’t help but think this is mind games coming from the challengers.

BAKA GAIJIN + FRIENDS “VOL. 30: NEW MOON ON MONDAY”, 19/05/2026
Tokyo ARENA Shimokitazawa

1. BK-G Openweight Title: Mr. Bueno (c) Vs Baliyan Akki

One match is already booked for next month and it is Baliyan Akki challenging Mr. Bueno for the BK-G Openweight Title. It all seems so normal. Perhaps too normal.

BAKA GAIJIN + FRIENDS “MNL”, 23/05/2026
Sari Sari Makati, Makati, Philippines

1. Hotdog De San Jose & Super P Vs Zack Sabre Jr. & Chris Brookes

You want Baka Gaijin + Friends to get weird, here you go. Zack Sabre Jr. & Chris Brookes are teaming up again as SchadenTekkers to take on the Philippines team of Hotdog De San Jose (I assume that’s Nigel San Jose incognito) & Super P. I got to watch Super P wrestle at the Spark show last weekend. She’s always looking to make new friends.
