BAKUHA KOSHIEN “BAKUHA KOSHIEN 2021 SPRING”, 02/05/2021

5. Bakuha Koshien Spring Tag Tournament – Final – Current Blast Death Match: X & X Vs X & X

Kanagawa is one of the prefectures not affected by the state of emergency so an audience of fans will be at the Bakuha Koshien show.

Super Sasadango Machine & Tetsuhiro Kuroda have called upon the “God Caught In Barbed Wire” Masayoshi Takeuchi to attend the show. Takeuchi built many of the weapons FMW used in their famous death matches. Kuroda invited him to the show and also made a request for him to build a very special weapon to use in the tournament.

7. Princess Of Princess Title: Rika Tatsumi (c) Vs Miyu Yamashita

Yuki Arai held a public training session with Miyu Yamashita and Miu Watanabe in the Ochanomizu Dojo. She practiced the Kakato Otoshi axe kick with the intention of making that her signature move. She also did rope work and Shoulder Tackle drills. She doesn’t get to train in Tokyo often because she does most of her idol duties in Nagoya. She is also upset that her debut match will not have a live audience but she is grateful it is still able to go ahead.

DDT “MAX BUMP 2021”, 04/05/2021
Tokyo Korakuen Hall

1. Akito Vs Mad Paulie
2. 3 Way Match To Bring Back The Smile On Kikutaro’s Face After All He’s Been Through: Danshoku Dieno Vs Antonio Honda Vs Kikutaro
3. 3 Way 6-Man Tag Match: Konosuke Takeshita, Shunma Katsumata & MAO Vs Daisuke Sasaki, Tetsuya Endo & Yuji Hino Vs Kazusada Higuchi, Yukio Sakaguchi & Yuki Iino

6. DDT Extreme Title & Iron Man Heavymetalweight Title: Chris Brookes (E/c) Vs Saki Akai (I/c)
7. DDT UNIVERSAL Title: Yuki Ueno (c) Vs Soma Takao

Fresh back from his American expedition, Konosuke Takeshita has regained the confidence he lost over the last year. It is a very difficult time to travel abroad and he didn’t do anything particularly special in AEW. He just wrestled three matches as himself and was rewarded with a lot of recognition across the board. With his confidence back, Takeshita ultimately aims to stand in front of Jun Akiyama once more. But first he has the Ultimate Tag League and the DDT Vs NOAH tag match at “CYBERFIGHT FESTIVAL 2021” to focus on. Whenever Takeshita returns to AEW his goal is to appear on “DYNAMITE” and face the likes of Kenny Omega and Chris Jericho.

Yes Wonderland 2021, Hiroshi Anniversary Show Cancelled, Yoshiaki Yatsu Comeback Match, STARTING BATTLE

April 26, 2021

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “YES! WONDERLAND 2021 ~WE ARE STILL IN THE MIDDLE OF OUR DREAMS~”, 04/05/2021
Tokyo Korakuen Hall

1. Princess Of Princess Title Next Challenger Decision 3 Way Match: Yuka Sakazaki Vs Mizuki Vs Shoko Nakajima
2. Pom Harajuku & Haruna Neko Vs Mahiro Kiryu & Moka Miyamoto
3. Hyper Misao, Nodoka Tenma & Yuki Aino Vs Nao Kakuta, Marika Kobashi & Raku
4. Yuki Arai Debut Match: Maki Itoh & Arisu Endo Vs Miu Watanabe & Yuki Arai
5. International Princess Title: Yuki Kamifuku (c) Vs Hikari Noa
6. Princess Tag Team Titles: Sakisama & Mei Saint-Michel (c) Vs Mirai Maiumi & Suzume
7. Princess Of Princess Title: Rika Tatsumi (c) Vs Miyu Yamashita

The full card for the next Tokyo Joshi Pro show in Korakuen Hall is out and it now has big ramifications for “CYBERFIGHT FESTIVAL 2021” in June. Whoever leaves the show as the Princess Of Princess Champion will defend the title in Saitama Super Arena against the winner of the 3 Way Match. Rika Tatsumi has never beaten Miyu Yamashita in a singles match. No matter what she did against her in those matches, Yamashita never broke. Tatsumi thinks Yamashita is not a human but a monster. The only way to beat a monster is to crush their head or punch them in the heart. That’s what she is thinking about going into Korakuen. Both champion and challenger would want the match to happen in front of an audience but they are sure fans will be cheering them on from their homes.

NEO Biishiki-gun aren’t taking too kind to BeeStar challenging them for the Princess Tag Team Titles. When BeeStar interrupted their celebration at Korakuen to ask for a title shot, Mei Saint-Michel froze on the spot. She hasn’t forgiven them for ruining her first title win ever since. Every time she looks at her championship, she sees the faces of Mirai Maiumi & Suzume staring back at her in plate’s reflection. Sakisama doesn’t understand where the challengers are getting their confidence from. They came from parts of Japan where nature is abundant so she thinks they must have been infected by the bad side of Tokyo. BeeStar say they are steadily evolving until 4th May and will get revenge for losing to NEO Biishiki-gun back in February.

Under normal circumstances, Hikari Noa does not have a positive win-loss record to qualify for a title match. However, she has received so much high praise from fans for her performance against Yamashita two weeks ago that Tetsuya Koda is rewarding her with a match against Yuki Kamifuku for the International Princess Title. He thinks Noa is fully qualified to get the title shot. This follows Sena Shiori’s departing comments about wanting to see her friend win a singles championship. Kamifuku has been defending the “Tiffany Blue” belt against locals on the roster. She wants to start defending it against international talent so she does not want to lose the title before that can happen. As the world battles against Covid-19, Noa will battle against Kamiyu-28!

The 3 Way Match consists of three of TJPW’s strongest, mashing together The Miraclians and The Magical Sugar Rabbits with only one standing tall in the end. Yuka Sakazaki wants to win back the Princess Title because she isn’t happy with how much the pandemic effected her previous reign. Shoko Nakajima wants to win back the title because she is more confident in herself now than back when she was the champion. Mizuki thinks she is a long way from becoming champion but winning the belt will get her to break out of her shell. All three of them don’t want to fight either Tatsumi or Yamashita which makes things awkward. Tatsumi would like to face Mizuki though.

BASARA “BASARA 155 ~EDO SHIJUKU~”, 05/05/2021
Tokyo Itabashi Green Hall

1. Daichi Kazato Vs Ryota Nakatsu
2. FUMA & Yusuke Kubo Vs SAGAT & Akiyori Takizawa
3. Trans-Am ★ Hiroshi Vs Yasu Urano
4. Takumi Tsukamoto, Isami Kodaka & Daiki Shimomura Vs Fuminori Abe, Takato Nakano & Masato Kamino
5. Hiroshi Rumble: Trans-Am ★ Hiroshi Vs X

The show has been cancelled because Itabashi Green Hall will not be open during Tokyo’s state of emergency. This was the likely result anyway because even if the venue stayed open, BASARA had already decided not to do an empty arena show.

DDT/NOAH/TOKYO JOSHI PRO/GANBARE☆PRO “CYBERFIGHT FESTIVAL 2021”, 06/06/2021
Saitama Super Arena

0. STARTING BATTLE ~ Staggered Admission Battle Royal: Yoshiaki Yatsu Vs X
0. STARTING BATTLE MAIN ~ Ganbare☆Pro Wrestling Offer Match: X Vs X
1. DDT Vs NOAH Battle: Yuki Iino, Keigo Nakamura & Toui Kojima Vs Junta Miyawaki, Kinya Okada & Yasutaka Yano
2. DDT Vs NOAH Battle: Konosuke Takeshita & Yuki Ueno Vs Kaito Kiyomiya & Yoshiki Inamura
3. Princess Of Princess Title: Rika Tatsumi (c) Vs Winner Of 4th May 3 Way Match
4. GHC Heavyweight Title: Keiji Muto (c) Vs X
5. KO-D Openweight Title: Jun Akiyama (c) Vs HARASHIMA

A series of pre-show bouts will be held before “CYBERFIGHT FESTIVAL 2021” kicks off. There will be four STARTING BATTLE matches mixing together wrestlers from DDT, NOAH, Tokyo Joshi Pro and Ganbare☆Pro. The “main event” of the pre-show is being provided by Ganpro. Ken Ohka is thrilled because both the main event and the opening match are the most important matches on a wrestling card. By that logic, adding the main event and the opening match together creates something that is super important!

One of the matches is a Royal Rumble with Yoshiaki Yatsu announced to be taking part. In 2019 Yatsu began wrestling with DDT during the build up to the Tokyo Olympics. Then in the summer Yatsu had to get his right foot amputated because of issues with diabetes. Then in March 2020 Yatsu announced his plans to come back to wrestling using a prosthetic foot specially designed by Kawamura Prosthetics Inc. for use in the ring. His scheduled return in June was called off when “WRESTLE PETER PAN 2020” was cancelled because of the pandemic. Since then Yatsu got to be an Olympic torchbearer in Ashikaga City. Now a year later Yatsu will get to complete his comeback by entering the STARTING BATTLE Rumble. Yatsu demonstrated his prosthetic foot by beating up Ken Ohka a bunch with wrestling moves during a press conference.

The Battle Royal will feature wrestlers from DDT and NOAH. The winner receives a Victory Award from CyberFight.

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “SPRING TOUR ’21 ~THE BULLET~” Results

April 24, 2021

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “SPRING TOUR ’21 ~THE BULLET~”, 24/04/2021
Tokyo Itabashi Green Hall
110 Fans – Super No Vacancy Full House

1. Maki Itoh & Arisu Endo defeated Nao Kakuta & Moka Miyamoto when Itoh submitted Miyamoto with the Itoh Special (9:51).
2. 3 Way Match: Hyper Misao defeated Pom Harajuku and Mahiro Kiryu when Misao pinned Harajuku with La Magistral Cradle (11:01).
3. Yuki Kamifuku, Marika Kobashi & Raku defeated Nodoka Tenma, Yuki Aino & Haruna Neko when Kobashi pinned Neko with the Running Bulldog Headlock (11:29).
4. Hikari Noa defeated Sena Shiori with the Blizzard Suplex (8:50).
5. Miyu Yamashita, Yuka Sakazaki, Mizuki & Shoko Nakajima defeated Rika Tatsumi, Miu Watanabe, Mirai Maiumi & Suzume when Nakajima pinned Watanabe with the Northern Lights Suplex (13:07).

After the main event Shoko Nakajima touched on the latest state of emergency in Japan and Tokyo Joshi Pro’s decision to do empty arena shows for the next couple of weeks. Nakajima said she won’t have a chance to see the fans again but there is no pain that never ends. TJPW has to say goodbye to their fans for a while but they will be working hard and doing their best in the meantime.

In the prelude to the Princess Of Princess Title match, Miyu Yamashita wasn’t satisfied with the amount of time she got to fight Rika Tatsumi. She’s happy to be in the match but she needed more to figure out the champion’s plan for their title match. She thinks Tatsumi is going to target her legs but there is still also the Dragon Sleeper to worry about. Tatsumi warns she isn’t the same person she was in the past. She is “Champion Rika Tatsumi” who fights to the death and overcomes all obstacles. She is thinking of how to finish Yamashita off on 4th May.

Sena Shiori graduates from TJPW after her final match against her best friend Hikari Noa. Shiori was able to kick out of the Blizzard Suplex but a second one with a bridge pinned her for the three count. After the match Shiori said it’s been a little over a year since her debut and just over two since she became a trainee. She is grateful for her time here. She also said this isn’t a retirement but a graduation so she will see everyone again some day. She’s feeling sad about it but Sena will be Sena and she’ll try her best to keep smiling from now on. Backstage Shiori mentioned her big regret was never winning the Princess Tag Team Titles with Noa. They were best friends before pro wrestling and when Noa found out that Shiori wanted to be a wrestler she invited her to join TJPW because it was a safe place to learn. Now that Shiori is graduating, she wants to see Noa become a singles champion.

Shiori To Graduate From TJPW, Manase Challenges Pandita, Title Matches Added To “Yes! Wonderland 2021”

April 19, 2021

Sudden news came out this morning that Sena Shiori will be graduating from Tokyo Joshi Pro on 24th April. She revealed she has been getting treatment for a chronic illness that’s been with her since before her debut match. She was able to go ahead with wrestling while the company watched over her condition for her safety. However Shiori’s doctor is now advising her to stop wrestling so she can concentrate on her treatment in order to make a full recovery. After discussions with TJPW, Shiori decided to graduate from pro wrestling after she achieved her first victory this past weekend in Korakuen Hall. She thanks everyone who supported her pro wrestling life and promised to do her best at her final match on the 24th.

BASARA “BASARA 155 ~GLITTER~”, 20/04/2021
Shin-Kiba 1st RING

1. Yusuke Kubo, Trans-Am ★ Hiroshi & Daichi Kazato Vs Minoru Fujita, Tsutomu Oosugi & Banana Senga
2. 3 Way Match: Fuminori Abe Vs Gouma Vs Yasu Urano
3. FUMA Vs Takato Nakano
4. IRON FIST Tag Titles: Isami Kodaka & Daiki Shimomura (c) Vs Ryota Nakatsu & SAGAT
5. Union MAX Title: Takumi Tsukamoto (c) Vs Masato Kamino

According to BASARA, the show meets regulations set by the Tokyo Metropolitan Government’s countermeasures against Coronavirus. That means fans are allowed to cheer but they are still required to wear masks to cover their mouths and noses.

BAKUHA KOSHIEN “BAKUHA KOSHIEN 2021 SPRING”, 02/05/2021

1. Bakuha Koshien Spring Tag Tournament – Round 1: Sanshiro Takagi & Yukio Naya Vs Shunma Katsumata & MAO
2. Bakuha Koshien Spring Tag Tournament – Round 1: Atsushi Onita & Yumehito Imanari Vs Super Sasadango Machine & Tetsuhiro Kuroda
3. Joshi Pro Wrestling Match: Yuna Manase Vs Mecha Pandita
4. Chris Brookes Vs Shota
5. Bakuha Koshien Spring Tag Tournament – Final – Current Blast Death Match: X & X Vs X & X

Chris Brookes and Shota have their first ever singles match against each other. The two have a lot of respect for each other.

Yuna Manase challenged Mecha Pandita to a match. The robot still had some glitches that need to be ironed out but should be good to go.

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “YES! WONDERLAND 2021 ~WE ARE STILL IN THE MIDDLE OF OUR DREAMS~”, 04/05/2021
Tokyo Korakuen Hall

1. Yuki Arai Debut Match: Yuki Arai Vs X
2. Princess Tag Team Titles: Sakisama & Mei Saint-Michel (c) Vs Mirai Maiumi & Suzume
3. Princess Of Princess Title: Rika Tatsumi (c) Vs Miyu Yamashita

The strongest champion should get the strongest challengers which is why Rika Tatsumi picked Miyu Yamashita as her No. 1 Contender. They fought over the Princess Of Princess Title during Golden Week once before. That was when Yamashita was the champion and she won that match against Tatsumi. Now the roles are reversed and Tatsumi is using her title reign to pick off big name opponents.

NEO Biishiki-gun are the new Princess Tag Team Champions with Sakisama leading a loyal servant to the belts for the third time. Their first challengers BeeStar became the top contenders by winning the 3 Way Tag Match in an upset against The Magical Sugar Rabbits and Kyoraku Kyomei. In an act of grace and arrogance, Sakisama is allowing Mirai Maiumi & Suzume time to prepare for their title match. Mei Saint-Michel meanwhile is already growing attached to the belts. Best be careful trying to take them from her.

April 17, 2021

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “STILL INCOMPLETE”, 17/04/2021
Tokyo Korakuen Hall
510 Fans

1. Marika Kobashi & Sena Shiori defeated Moka Miyamoto & Arisu Endo when Shiori submitted Watanabe with the Checkmate (8:39).
2. Miu Watanabe, Raku & Pom Harajuku defeated Yuna Manase, Mahiro Kiryu & Haruna Neko when Raku pinned Neko with the Doctor Yellow (10:10).
3. Miyu Yamashita defeated Hikari Noa with the Skull Kick (9:30).
4. 3 Way Tag Match: Mirai Maiumi & Suzume defeated Yuka Sakazaki & Mizuki and Shoko Nakajima & Hyper Misao when Maiumi pinned Nakajima with the Lariat (10:40).
5. International Princess Title: Yuki Kamifuku (c) defeated Nao Kakuta with the Famouser (9:02).
*V3 for Yuki Kamifuku.
6. Princess Tag Team Titles: Sakisama & Mei Saint-Michel defeated Nodoka Tenma & Yuki Aino (c) when Saint-Michel pinned Aino with a Cradle (17:36).
*The Bakuretsu Sisters fail in V3. NEO Biishiki-gun becomes the 8th Princess Tag Team Champions!
7. Princess Of Princess Title: Rika Tatsumi (c) defeated Maki Itoh with the Missile Hip (19:36).
*V2 for Rika Tatsumi.

The middle fingers went a flying in the Princess Of Princess Title match. When Maki Itoh attempted to apply the Itoh Special, Rika Tatsumi gave her the finger. Itoh bit it so Tatsumi gave her the finger with her other hand only for Itoh to bite that too. The distraction threw Itoh off her game anyway and Tatsumi caught her in the Dragon Sleeper. Itoh survived being choked out by raising her own middle fingers into the air. She had a last gasp at victory by rolling Tatsumi into the Itoh Royal but only got a two count out of it. Tatsumi used a Hip Attack to cut off her opponent’s momentum. She then hit the Twist Of Fate and pinned Itoh with the Missile Hip from the top rope.

Tatsumi praised Itoh for her efforts and asked her to come back for a fist bump. Itoh stuck her middle finger in Tatsumi’s face instead and left. Tatsumi then called for Miyu Yamashita’s attention. Three years ago Yamashita gave her a title shot in the main event of Korakuen Hall during Golden Week. Tatsumi couldn’t beat her then but things are different now. She wants to be the strongest champion and to do that she needs to beat the strongest challengers. That means Tatsumi wants to defend the belt against Yamashita next! She asked if Yamashita is prepared to take the challenge? Yamashita responded by slapping Tatsumi across the face. Tatsumi slapped her back and said their title match will happen on the 4th May Korakuen show.

The first “Futari wa Princess” Max Heart winners barely won the Princess Tag Team Titles by the skin of their teeth. The Bakuretsu Sisters did the smart thing by getting rid of Sakisama. That was set up when Yuki Aino blocked Sakisama’s Apron PK and held her on her shoulders so Nodoka Tenma could his the Bakuretsu Bulldog onto the floor. That left Mei Saint-Michel scrambling to continue fighting by herself. Tenma gave her the Killswitch and it looked to be all over. However, Saint-Michel suddenly Cradled Tenma and got the three count for the shock result.

Sakisama asked Saint-Michel how she was feeling now they are the champions? “C’est bien!” Now that she has her own championship belt that matches with Sakisama’s, she thinks she has achieved her goal of becoming a fully fledged maid! Suddenly, BeeStar entered the ring to cut off her victory speech, causing Saint-Michel to freeze on the spot. Mirai Maiumi apologized for the interruption but she wants to challenge NEO Biishiki-gun for the Princess Tag Titles. Suzume admitted they’ve been beaten by the new champions before but they are not the same now as they were back then. BeeStar will beat them to evolve even more! Sakisama told BeeStar she doesn’t remember who they are. She also doesn’t have time right now because she is very busy playing the new Monster Hunter. So Sakisama is giving BeeStar two weeks to improve because they will get their title match on 4th May.

With three defences achieved, Yuki Kamifuku now has the most successful International Princess Title run in the championship’s short history. Her grudge with Nao Kakuta over glamour against normality has also been settled with today’s result. Kakuta’s attempt to use her Shiden Kai finisher was countered into the Famouser. Kamifuku also used her long legs to fight out of a Crossface Lock, hit a Dropkick and used another Famouser to get the win. They shook hands and Kakuta told the press afterwards that during the handshake Kamifuku quietly apologized for calling her ugly.

BeeStar were the last team standing in Tokyo Joshi Pro’s first ever 3 Way Tag Match. The rules put in place allowed no tags so it was more of a tornado tag team affair. To make things even more unusual, the Kyoraku Kyomei team had a difference of opinion that led to Hyper Misao offering to team with The Magical Sugar Rabbits while Shoko Nakajima wanted to side with BeeStar. It turned out to be a trick and the two were still together all along. The match was frantic with different pairings going at it. BeeStar got rid of MagiRabi when Maiumi hit Yuka Sakazaki & Mizuki with a Double Lariat. Nakajima grabbed Suzume for the Northern Lights Suplex but that left her vulnerable for Maiumi to hit her with the Lariat and win the match.

Hikari Noa still has a lot to learn if she wants to beat the likes of Yamashita. She’s gotten stronger by having the Hardcore Match a while ago but was a bit too eager to charge into a Front Kick at the corner. That gave Yamashita the opening to hit the Skull Kick.

Raku getting the win for her team turned out to be special because today is her mother’s birthday. Both Miu Watanabe & Pom Harajuku sang “Happy Birthday to Raku-chan’s mom” backstage when she told them about it. Yuna Manase motivated Mahiro Kiryu & Haruna Neko to continue doing their best even though they lost. Even though Manase is in a different promotion now, she is still watching over TJPW and wants everyone to meet her expectations.

The opening match saw Sena Shiori earn her first victory with a new submission move. The Checkmate is an Arm Clutch Half Crab Hold and Shiori made Moka Miyamoto submit to it. It is a move Shiori has been thinking about because using a normal Crab Hold wasn’t working for her. She thanked Marika Kobashi for teaming with her and said it is really encouraging to work with Kobashi. Both Miyamoto and Arisu Endo are left waiting for another day to get their first win.

Yuki Arai introduced herself to the fans at the start of the show. She is still worried about her debut wrestling match on 4th May while also working as an idol. She wants to grow from here so everyone can say her debut match was a success.

The 2021 Tokyo Princess Cup will be held across multiple shows during the summer. The first two rounds will be held at Shin-Kiba 1st RING from 22nd to 25th July. The quarter finals will be held in Shinjuku FACE on 31st July. The final rounds will be held in Korkauen Hall on 15th August.

NOAH wrestler Kaito Kiyomiya tweeted he will be at the show tomorrow. He wants to have a look at the competition for “CYBERFIGHT FESTIVAL 2021”. He won’t find one of his opponents Konosuke Takeshita there though. He’s over in America wrestling for AEW at the moment.

DDT “MAX BUMP 2021 TOUR IN NIIGATA”, 18/04/2021
Niigata Bandaishima Multipurpose Plaza

1. Toru Owashi & Yuki Iino Vs Hideki Okatani & Toui Kojima
2. Kazusada Higuchi, Yukio Sakaguchi & Saki Akai Vs Akito, Yukio Naya & Keigo Nakamura

6. KO-D Tag Team Titles: HARASHIMA & Yuji Okabayashi (c) Vs Jun Akiyama & Makoto Oishi

Just to remind everyone, the leader of Junretsu is Makoto Oishi, not Jun Akiyama. However Oishi hasn’t achieved the results that a man with his position should be getting. He can spin that around by winning the KO-D Tag Team Titles with Akiyama right before the Ultimate Tag League 2021 begins. What motivates Akiyama to win is so he can appear on the cover of Weekly Pro-Wrestling again with a cool picture this time. The cover of the current issue shows his head stuck in Danshoku Dieno’s tights and he finds it embarrassing. HARASHIMA is excited to defend the tag titles in Niigata for the first time ever. Yuji Okabayashi is excited to fight against the mighty Akiyama & Oishi. Both Akiyama and HARASHIMA will not let the result of this match shake their confidence going into “CYBERFIGHT FESTIVAL 2021”.

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “YES! WONDERLAND 2021 ~WE ARE STILL IN THE MIDDLE OF OUR DREAMS~”, 04/05/2021
Tokyo Korakuen Hall

1. Yuki Arai Debut Match: Yuki Arai Vs X

This week Tokyo Sports reported that SKE48 idol Yuki Arai was going to attend this weekend’s Tokyo Joshi Pro show in Korakuen Hall. Arai, who in 2018 wrestled a match in DDT and is a former Iron Man Heavymetalweight Champion, was expected to announce she was joining TJPW to become an active pro wrestler and her “re-debut” match was taking place on 4th May. TJPW pushed their announcement to today and confirmed the news is true.

Arai’s previous involvement with pro wrestling outside of DDT was with the Tofu Pro Wrestling project where she used the name Bubbly Arai. When she had her match in DDT, Sanshiro Takagi was impressed with her performance and has held discussions with SKE48 management since then over getting her to continue wrestling. Arai wants to work as both an idol and a pro wrestler so for the moment her deal is to wrestle one match a month while Miyu Yamashita helps trains her. She is currently preparing her theme music and wrestling outfit. One of her goals is to avenge losing the Iron Man Title to Maki Itoh. Also attending the show is another SKE48 idol, Jurina Matsui. She will be there to support Arai.

DDT “MAX BUMP 2021”, 04/05/2021
Tokyo Korakuen Hall

1. Jun Akiyama, Makoto Oishi & Yusuke Okada Vs HARASHIMA, Toru Owashi & Kazuki Hirata
2. KO-D 8-Man Tag Team Titles: Sanshiro Takagi, Yukio Naya, Chikara & Nabe Yakan (c) Vs X, X, X & X
3. DDT Extreme Title & Iron Man Heavymetalweight Title: Chris Brookes (E/c) Vs Saki Akai (I/c)
4. DDT UNIVERSAL Title: Yuki Ueno (c) Vs Soma Takao

Yuki Ueno is taking it personally when Soma Takao calls him a weak champion. He’s beaten some amazing wrestlers in his title reign and he feels bad for them when Takao pinned him at Korakuen last weekend. It’s a frustrating feeling but it made him think. It would be frustrating for Takao is if he loses to the “weak champion” in a main event championship match at Korakuen Hall. So Ueno convinced Hisaya Imabayashi to make the DDT UNIVERSAL Title match the main event of “MAX BUMP 2021”. Takao complained and said he should be fighting the weak champion in the dark match. He agreed to it anyway because he thinks Ueno will only nominate weak replacements if he turned it down. He got under Ueno’s skin further by pouring a drink over his head during the press conference.

The double title match will not have any extra stipulations added to it. Chris Brookes decided it will be a normal singles match after he thought about Saki Akai’s challenge to him last week. He found out Akai last had a singles title match five years ago and she only got the shot by winning a Rock, Paper, Scissors tournament. He has a lot of respect for her and wants to show it by facing her in a regular rules match. Akai understands she might lose this match 99 times out of 100 but she will take that chance to become a double champion.

Kikutaro will be on the show. He had trouble travelling to America last month using an ESTA instead of his work visa because it expired. The immigration officer checking him believed he was trying to enter the country illegally to work. Kikutaro claims he was only visiting to sort out a matter with his home in Las Vegas. The result was Kikutaro getting detained for two days and then deported back to Japan. He thinks he was discriminated against and is trying to clear his name through the Japanese Embassy. For now he has to stay in Japan.

DDT “ULTIMATE TAG LEAGUE 2021 IN KORAKUEN HALL!!”, 09/05/2021
Tokyo Korakuen Hall

1. Yukio Sakaguchi Vs Yusuke Okada
2. Naomi Yoshimura Return Match: HARASHIMA & Naomi Yoshimura Vs Yuki Ueno & MAO
3. Ultimate Tag League 2021: Jun Akiyama & Makoto Oishi Vs Chris Brookes & Antonio Honda
4. Ultimate Tag League 2021: Konosuke Takeshita & Shunma Katsumata Vs Daisuke Sasaki & Yuji Hino

Naomi Yoshimura gets his wish. Yuki Ueno will be one of his opponents in his return match. DISASTER BOX will be further represented with HARASHIMA involved. There’s no hard feelings over Ueno leaving the unit for The 37KAMIINA. At least I don’t think there is. MAO will do something to annoy them probably.
