Official TJPW Best Matches Of 2020

January 1, 2021

This was just going to be a list to tweet out but by the time they revealed the complete results I figured it would make a good blog post too. Tokyo Joshi Pro asked their Twitter followers to vote for the best TJPW matches of 2020. Each voter was allowed pick three matches in order from 1st to 3rd. 85 matches were nominated out of over 150 votes. The top listed matches will be included in the “BEST OF TJPW 2020” DVD being released later this year. A few matches were tied in the same spot with the same number of votes.

1. Marika Kobashi defeated Moka Miyamoto with the Front Neck Lock (5:04).
2. Hikari Noa & Sena Shiori defeated Nao Kakuta & Haruna Neko when Noa pinned Neko with the Uranage (7:44).
3. Shoko Nakajima & Hyper Misao defeated Raku & Suzume when Nakajima pinned Suzume with the Northern Lights Suplex (11:58).
4. Miu Watanabe & Mirai Maiumi defeted Mizuki & Pom Harajuku when Watanabe pinned Harajuku with the Tear Drop (10:26).
5. Best 2 Out Of 3 Falls: Rika Tatsumi, Yuki Kamifuku, Mahiro Kiryu & Maki Itoh (2) defeated Yuka Sakazaki, Nodoka Tenma, Yuki Aino & Miyu Yamashita (1).
5a. Nodoka Tenma pinned Mahiro Kiryu with the Killswitch (6:28).
5b. Maki Itoh pinned Miyu Yamashita with the Itoh Royal (5:26).
5c. Rika Tatsumi pinned Nodoka Tenma with the Missile Hips (6:03).

Today was the final Tokyo Joshi Pro show of 2020. The big finale was a 2 out of 3 falls 8-Woman Tag Match. On one side was the Princess Of Princess Champion, the Princess Tag Team Champions and the woman who has been with TJPW since day one. On the other side was their Korakuen Hall opponents including the International Princess Champion. In the first fall Maki Itoh immediately called out Miyu Yamashita to start the match with her. The Bakuretsu Sisters took care of Toyo University Tag when Yuki Aino Side Suplexed Yuki Kamifuku and Nodoka Tenma pinned Mahiro Kiryu with the Killswitch to win the fall.

In the 2nd fall, Rika Tatsumi got the hot tag to swing momentum her team’s way. The match went back to Yamashita versus Itoh. Yamashita went for the Crash Rabbit Heat but Itoh countered it into a Crab Hold. Yamashita tried rolling out of it until Itoh crossed her legs in a Cloverleaf position. But instead of going for the Itoh Deluxe, she instead used a Jackknife to pin Yamashita for the three count! The Cloverleaf Jackknife has now been named the Itoh Royal.

The final fall saw Yuka Sakazaki jump in to face Tatsumi. She avoided the White Dragon Sleeper and countered the Twist Of Fate into a Northern Lights Bomb before tagging out to Tenma. Tatsumi got the better of Tenma after all the wrestlers got involved in a scramble. The Toyo University Tag used a Big Boot/Spinebuster combo on Tenma and Tatsumi pinned her with the Missile Hips to win the deciding fall.

Tatsumi credited everyone’s teamwork for their win today and promised to carry the momentum going to Ittenyon. She will turn everything upside down and become the new Princess Title! Sakazaki understands Tatsumi wants to make a fresh start in the new year but Sakazaki hasn’t done enough to make up for all the missed opportunities from this year. She cannot let Tatsumi win the title off her because she still wants to defend it in 2021. She has been through a lot this year but it has not been all negative. This year she established a bond with the audience and she can feel the love from everyone who took the time to come see her wrestle during such a difficult time.

TJPW’s second PPV on OPENREC.tv will take place on 30th January as Twin Box AKIHABARA. That is the venue where the very first TJPW training shows took place before they went into full event production. It will be eight years to the date when the show takes place which is why the PPV name “STARTING POINT” is very fitting. Just like in the old days, matches will happen on a mat instead of a ring and there will be musical performances from an idol group (TBA) before the matches.

DDT “ATSUSHI ONITA VS KURO-CHAN! CHRISTMAS FINAL BATTLE! SKYTREE STREET CURRENT EXPLOSION WRESTLING!”, 23/12/2020
Tokyo Solamachi
40,000 ABEMA Views

1. Tokyo Joshi Pro Offer Match @ Tokyo Solamachi 3-4F Solami Zaka: Yuka Sakazaki, Mizuki & Hikari Noa defeated Miyu Yamashita, Nodoka Tenma & Marika Kobashi when Sakazaki pinned Kobashi with a Sliding Lariat (10:47).
2. 6-Man Tag Match @ Asakusa Kaminarimon Ichinomiya Shotenkai: Kazusada Higuchi, Yukio Sakaguchi & Saki Akai defeated Danshoku Dieno, Kazuki Hirata & Akito when Higuchi submitted Hirata with the Canadian Snow Samba Backbreaker (16:15).
3. Tag Match @ Yakiniku Drago Skytree Ekimae Store: HARASHIMA & Yukio Naya defeated Makoto Oishi & Keigo Nakamura when HARASHIMA pinned Oishi & Nakamura with the Somato (3:16).
4. DAMNATION! Vs DDT Sauna Club! @ Sumida Health Sports Center Pool: Tetsuya Endo, Soma Takao, Mad Paulie & Hiroshi Yamato (w/ Daisuke Sasaki) defeated Konosuke Takeshita, Shunma Katsumata, MAO & Yuki Ueno when Endo pinned Katsumata with the Shooting Star Senton into the Pool (19:53).
5. Current Explosion Death Match @ Tokyo Solamachi 8F Dome Garden: Kuro-chan (w/ Shinya Aoki, Super Sasadango Machine & Yuki Kamifuku) defeated Atsushi Onita (w/ Sanshiro Takagi, Chris Brookes & Maki Itoh) with the Current Blast Bat Swing (11:09).

All around Tokyo SKYTREE Town there were pro wrestlers waiting around for matches to happen. Members of Jungle Pocket followed the action from place to place for the ABEMA viewers at home. The reason for all of this was the long awaited Current Blast Death Match between Atsushi Onita and Kuro-chan. Both men were allowed a trio of wrestlers to accompany them and get involved in the fight. Kuro-chan tried to run away but Onita caught him and let Chris Brookes & Maki Itoh beat him up. Itoh swung a Current Blast Bat but Super Sasadango Machine stood in her way and took the blow. Onita pinned Kuro-chan after the explosion but Yuki Kamifuku broke the count. Sasadango told Kuro-chan that Kamifuku’s knees contain ingredients that would heal him from the blast. Kamifuku was grossed out but allowed Kuro-chan to lick her knee for recovery purposes. That powered up Kuro-chan until Sanshiro Takagi strangled him with a belt. Onita put Shinya Aoki through a table with a Piledriver then grabbed another Blast Bat. However Kamifuku turned off the bat’s power supply at the last second. The distraction allowed Sasadango & Aoki to attack Onita. Kuro-chan & Kamifuku then swung the Blast Bat at Onita together for the second explosion. Soon after, Onita grabbed the last Blast Bat but Kuro-chan grabbed Kamifuku to be his human shield. Onita hesitated and Aoki attacked him from behind. Kuro-chan grabbed the bat and hit Onita for the final explosion. Two Blast Bat hits were too much for Onita and he couldn’t kick out of the pin. Kuro-chan has defeated him!

Kuro-chan taunted Onita by pouring a bottle of water over him and bragging about “the moment when the pro wrestler lost to the entertainer!” Onita got up and started beating Kuro-chan with the bottle. Kuro-chan backed off but was still laughing over winning the match. An angry Onita then turned his attention to Jungle Pocket when they stepped in to protect their fellow entertainer. Kuro-chan grabbed Onita’s leather jacket, put it on himself and declared himself the new Evil Ways!

Over at the Sumida Health Sports Center pool, the DDT Sauna Club and DAMNATION met for a swim and an 8-Man Tag. After a quick swimming race, Jungle Pocket’s Otake asked when they would start wrestling. Daisuke Sasaki demanded money and both teams agreed that the match winner would get Otake’s money. After fighting around poolside, everyone wound up in the pool when a chain of Headscissors was flipped over by Mad Paulie. Everyone then moved over to the waterslide. Tetsuya Endo gave Yuki Ueno a Sunset Flip down the waterslide with Yukinori Matsui sliding after them to try and count the pin. One by one the wrestlers slid down with MAO’s turn involving a bunch of small rubber ducks coming down with him. Shunma Katsumata tried to blow hot sauna wind with a towel at Hiroshi Yamato but since it was pool it only made Yamato feel cold. Katsumata & Ueno put a rubber ring around Yamato and tried to make him float upside down in the pool. Konosuke Takeshita, Ueno & Katsumata tried piling on top of each other for a triple piggy back attack but they fell over when Sasaki sprayed them with a hose. The Sauna Club recovered to give Soma Takao an Assisted Cutter into the pool. There was a bridge where Paulie did the Reverse Splash into the pool but everyone moved out of the way. Takeshita then gave Yamato the Kinniku Buster from the bridge into the water. Sasaki was all alone against the Sauna Club when suddenly Yuji Hino showed up wearing a DAMNATION shirt! One by one he destroyed the Sauna Club and he gave Katsumata the Fuckin’ Bomb from the bridge into the pool. Endo then hit the Shooting Star Senton from the bridge to Katsumata and pinned him in the water.

After the match, Sasaki introduced everyone to Hino. He explained they used to be soldiers together and now Hino is the newest member of DAMNATION! Not only that but Hino will also be at the 27th December Korakuen Hall show. Hino threw Otake into the water to celebrate and everyone in DAMNATION laughed.

Hirohisa Ota from Jungle Pocket spectated a match held in a nearby yakiniku restaurant. Yukio Naya welcomed him and they looked at the menu until they heard a commotion nearby. It was Makoto Oishi & Keigo Nakamura causing noise and being a nuisance. Angry clerk HARASHIMA confronted them and with Naya started the tag match against the troublemakers. Oishi tried to take female clerk hostage when suddenly the disgraced sumo wrestler Takatoriki appeared from the back of the restaurant! He and Naya slammed Oishi & Nakamura together outside and HARASHIMA pinned both of them with the Somato.

The third Jungle Pocket member Shinji Saito met up with Saki Akai along the shopping street when all of a sudden Akito & Kazuki Hirata showed up in a rickshaw pulled by Danshoku Dieno. Luckily for Akai, the rest of Eruption showed up from the nearby subway and the trios match was ready to begin. Dieno summoned samba dancers while he did the Asakusa Nightmare to Akai. Akito chased Kazusada Higuchi into a store and found Higuchi dressed like an enlightened monk attending pilgrimage. Higuchi wouldn’t budge while he was in his state of enlightenment. Yukio Sakaguchi and Hirata stopped fighting so they could go buy sweet desserts. Sakaguchi made sure it was paid with money from Hirata’s wallet. Higuchi returned on a bike and cycled into his opponents. Dieno climbed up a wall and sat in the Hell Gate position. Hirata then called for “Anal Snow Samba” and Dieno shot smoke from beneath him onto everyone below while the samba dancers performed around them. Sakaguchi used a fire extinguisher to freeze Dieno’s ass. Akai then sprayed it into Hirata while Higuchi held him in the Canadian Backbreaker for the finish.

The show began at the entrance of Tokyo Solamachi where six Tokyo Joshi Pro wrestlers came to fight. Marika Kobashi brought along a selfie stick but Hikari Noa used it to choke her. Nodoka Tenma Body Slammed Mizuki onto the ground and then jumped on top of her with a Body Press. Yuka Sakazaki and Miyu Yamashita fought near the stairway and Sakazaki ended up pushing her opponent down the steps. Sakazaki, Mizuki & Noa then joined up for a sprint down the path to hit a Triple Dropkick on the other team. Noa found a ladder and spun it around, hitting anyone who dared come near her. The ladder was set up near the Skytree and The Magical Sugar Rabbits did a Double Diving Body Attack off it onto everyone below. Sakazaki ended the match by pinning Kobashi with the Sliding Lariat.

1. Christmas Special 6 Big Single Match: Suzume defeated Sena Shiori with the Ring A Bell (8:23).
2. Christmas Special 6 Big Single Match: Nodoka Tenma defeated Haruna Neko with the Killswitch (5:53).
3. Christmas Special 6 Big Single Match: Shoko Nakajima defeated Mirai Maiumi with a Hurricanrana (7:51).
4. Miu Watanabe, Hikari Noa & Raku defeated Mizuki, Hyper Misao & Moka Miyamoto when Raku pinned Miyamoto with the Doctor Yellow (10:22).
5. Christmas Special 6 Big Single Match: Rika Tatsumi defeated Marika Kobashi with the White Dragon Sleeper (8:01).
6. Yuki Kamifuku & Mahiro Kiryu defeated Yuki Aino & Nao Kakuta when Kamifuku pinned Aino with the Fame Asser (9:28).
7. Christmas Special 6 Big Single Match: Yuka Sakazaki defeated Pom Harajuku with the Magical Magical Girl Splash (9:45).
8. Christmas Special 6 Big Single Match: Miyu Yamashita Vs Maki Itoh ended in a Time Limit Draw (10:00).

Looks like Miyu Yamashita Vs Maki Itoh at Korakuen Hall has reason to go ahead. Yamashita had been saying if she got an overwhelming victory today then there would be no Korakuen rematch. Instead the final seconds of the match had Itoh in control. She countered the Crash Rabbit Heat into a Half Crab then fought for a full Boston Crab until the time expired. Itoh got angry because she thinks Yamashita is making a fool out of her. She promised she will surpass Yamashita on 4th January. Yamashita said a draw for her is the same as losing. She will achieve complete victory over Itoh at Korakuen.

Pom Harajuku left a pile of Christmas items on the floor outside the ring for Yuka Sakazaki to slip on while chasing her. She was almost able to last the full ten minutes against the champion but Sakazaki won out with the Magical Magical Girl Splash.

Team Toyo University got a direct win over one half of the Princess Tag Team Champions with Yuki Kamifuku pinning Yuki Aino. Kamifuku wrapped her International Princess Title over her shoulder and said she is going to add one more soon.


Full TJPW Card For 4th January

December 18, 2020

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “TOKYO JOSHI PRO ’21”, 04/01/2021
Tokyo Korakuen Hall

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

The main event has a lot going for it. Yuka Sakazaki and Rika Tatsumi have known each other for years, even before they began training to be pro wrestlers. Seven years ago Sakazaki convinced Tatsumi to go train together so she is a special person in Tatsumi’s life. But for this match Tatsumi sees Sakazaki only as the Princess Of Princess Champion. Tatsumi wants to defeat “The Magical Girl who resembles Fudo Myoo” so she can transform from a White Dragon into a Dragon God!

According to the Toyo University Combo, their bond is more stronger than those between sisters. Yuki Kamifuku thinks she and Mahiro Kiryu are more like clones of the Toyo University founder Inoue Enryo’s daughter! The Bakuretsu Sisters don’t just want to make memories out of their Princess Tag Team Titles reign. They want to defend the belts as much as they can because it took them so long to win them.

Two years ago, Maki Itoh failed to beat Miyu Yamashita in the Ittenyon main event. It was a poor performance that at the time left her traumatized. Now she realizes it was not a setback but valuable experience. When she sticks up her middle finger it is a sign of confidence and determination. Itoh’s middle finger cannot be broken! Yamashita thinks this is a Tokyo Joshi Pro match that can appeal to the world. She’s letting Itoh do the talking now. When they get in the ring Yamashita will show her what she’s really got.

Arisu Endo is a 22 years old from Fukushima and is 150cm tall. She became a pro wrestler because she loves wrestling but is nervous to have her debut match. Endo’s favourite wrestler is Reika Saiki and she wants to become as cool as her. Suzume is looking forward to see what kind of wrestler Endo will be so she is happy to be her debut opponent.

Aja Kong is back! Mizuki is honored to team with her. Raku’s wrestling career is currently three years old. She thinks three year olds still need to take naps so she will do so. Miu Watanabe sees this match as a bridge between idols and pro wrestling. Nao Kakuta’s goal for 2021 is to win a championship so a win here will give her momentum. Mirai Maiumi wants to show the kind of brilliance in Korakuen Hall that only she can.

Sena Shiori has been frustrated by losing to NEO Biishiki-gun over and over since the unit returned and turned their attention to her. There’s nothing she can’t do with Hikari Noa which is why she thinks they can win. Noa is surprised she gets to team with Shiori in Korakuen so quickly. She wants to help her win her first match because it will happen on the first anniversary of Shiori’s debut.

In a rematch from last year’s Ittenyon, Shoko Nakajima and Hyper Misao will face off again. Last time the loser had to change their name for a month. Misao beat Misao and renamed her Akemi Daredasore. Misao has changed her name a few times in her career, even her private one because she recently got married but she hasn’t forgotten about that match. Which is why she wants the same stipulation for the rematch and have it become an annual gimmick for the Ittenyon show! Nakajima accepts the challenge because she has very few things to protect. She believes the more things a person needs to protect, the more weaknesses they have.

The opening match is between the two youngest generations in Tokyo Joshi. Marika Kobashi will be celebrating her 5th anniversary of her debut. Moka Miyamoto thinks she is the exact opposite of Kobashi but they can do their best as a tag team of active college students. Haruna Neko isn’t bothered by who is her juniors or seniors in the match. She just wants to win. Pom Harajuku felt she wasn’t able to work hard in 2020 so she wants to get 2021 off on the right track with a victory.

The live broadcast of the show will have separate streams. ABEMA will host the local broadcast with Haruo Murata and Sayoko Mita on commentary. WRESTLE UNIVERSE will provide live English commentary for the first time with Mark Pickering and Stewart Fulton on the headsets.


Christmas Special Big Matches, Yamashita Vs Itoh x2, D-Ou Final

December 14, 2020

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “SE~NO, MERRY CHRISTMAS! 2020”, 19/12/2020

6. Christmas Special 6 Big Single Match: Shoko Nakajima Vs Mirai Maiumi

8. Christmas Special 6 Big Single Match: Yuka Sakazaki Vs Pom Harajuku

The random draw took place for the six special Christmas matches. Each match will have a 10 minute time limit. The one causing a stir is Miyu Yamashita Vs Maki Itoh because Itoh wanted the match to happen in Korakuen Hall on 4th January. She will get her way but still has to wrestle Yamashita in Nagoya this week. Yamashita said she is not interested in rematching with Itoh so soon unless she doesn’t beat her in Nagoya.

6. KO-D 6-Man Tag Team Titles: Akito, Kazuki Hirata & Shota (c) Vs Shunma Katsumata, MAO & Yuki Ueno
7. D-Ou Grand Prix 2021 – Final: Konosuke Takeshita vs Jun Akiyama

The final DDT show of the year will see the D-Ou Grand Prix winner crowned. Konosuke Takeshita gets his chance for revenge after losing to Jun Akiyama at “ULTIMATE PARTY 2020”. Akiyama recently made a point that DDT needs to decide if they really want to compete against New Japan. If they are willing to face the challenge head on, he will fight for them with everything he has. Could that be a hint Akiyama will stick with DDT after his loan period with them ends? I can’t imagine he will go back to All Japan after all of this.

The DDT Sauna Club gets a KO-D 6-Man Tag Team Titles match. The final visual we could see in a DDT ring this year is the warm and calming collection of Sauna Club wrestlers celebrating their success. It would ruin the Young Communication comeback show weeks before it takes place.

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “TOKYO JOSHI PRO ’21”, 04/01/2021
Tokyo Korakuen Hall

1. Arisu Endo Debut Match: Arisu Endo Vs X
2. Miyu Yamashita Vs Maki Itoh
3. Princess Tag Team Titles: Nodoka Tenma & Yuki Aino (c) Vs Yuki Kamifuku & Mahiro Kiryu
4. Princess Of Princess Title: Yuka Sakazaki (c) Vs Rika Tatsumi

Itoh wants her match with Yamashita to happen in Korakuen for a couple of reasons. They headlined Korakuen on the 2019 Ittenyon show. Yamashita was also Itoh’s opponent when Itoh had her pro wrestling debut. Finally after all their matches together, Itoh has never beaten Yamashita. If she can finally beat her, Itoh said she will then challenge for the Princess Of Princess Title. This is all part of her efforts to spread the name of Tokyo Joshi Pro around the world in 2021.


TOKYO JOSHI PRO “FALL TOUR ’20 ~WOMM (WRESTLING OF MY MIND)~” Results

December 12, 2020

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “FALL TOUR ’20 ~WOMM (WRESTLING OF MY MIND)~”, 12/12/2020
Tokyo Narimasu Act Hall
??? Fans – Withheld

1. Marika Kobashi defeated Sena Shiori with a Front Neck Lock (5:17).
2. Nao Kikuta & Mirai Maiumi defeated Hyper Misao & Moka Miyamoto when Kikuta pinned Miyamoto with the Shiden Kai (9:15).
3. Sakisama & Mei Saint-Michel defeated Haruna Neko & Suzume when Saint-Michel pinned Suzume with the Tarte Tatin (7:54).
4. Miyu Yamashita & Hikari Noa defeated Maki Itoh & Raku when Yamashita pinned Itoh with the Skull Kick (11:21).
5. Shoko Nakajima, Nodoka Tenma & Yuki Aino defeated Yuki Kamifuku, Mahiro Kiryu & Pom Harajuku when Aino pinned Harajuku with the Venus DDT (15:39).
6. Yuka Sakazaki & Mizuki Vs Rika Tatsumi & Miu Watanabe ended in a Time Limit Draw (20:00).

The Magical Sugar Rabbits Vs Daydream went the distance. Rika Tatsumi had Mizuki in the White Dragon Sleeper until Yuka Sakazaki broke it up. Sakazaki then prevented Tatsumi & Miu Watanabe from giving Mizuki the Daydream Eternity. Tatsumi fought off the Sugar Rabbits by herself but when she climbed the top turnbuckle, Mizuki threw her off with an Avalanche Cutie Special. Time rang out and the bell rang before Mizuki could go for the pin. After the match Sakazaki wanted to speak but Tatsumi took the microphone from her. She couldn’t win today but she will definitely win on 4th January! Tatsumi wants to become Princess Of Princess Champion and make Tokyo Joshi Pro as famous as The Beatles! There’s not much time left until the Korakuen Hall show so Sakazaki feels she now has to rush towards 4th January. Mizuki threw her support behind Sakazaki and said she believes in her.

After Match #4, Maki Itoh demanded Tetsuya Koda to book her versus Miyu Yamashita in a singles match on 4th January. Koda informed her that they were randomly drawn together earlier to have a singles match in Nagoya on 19th December. Itoh still wants the match to happen in Korakuen because this week is her 4th anniversary of her pro wrestling debut and it was against Yamashita. They also headlined Korakuen two years ago so the latest rematch must happen in the same venue. Yamashita’s answer was immediately cut off by Itoh who said she will beat her in Korakuen! Yamashita made mention afterwards that there would be little point in having the Korakuen match if she beats Itoh in Nagoya.

Mei Saint-Michel was excited to wrestle a cat and asked Sakisama if they could take Haruna Neko back to their mansion. Sakisama took a close look at Neko and got her face scratched. Saint-Michel then stepping in to protect Neko from Sakisama. Neko then scratched Saint-Michel in the face, ending their brief friendship. Later in the match, Suzume was taken out when she slipped on the tray trap. Saint-Michel ended up using an assisted Shiranui from Sakisama to pin Neko. Sakisama scolded her after the match and said she doesn’t need a pet. She still has more trials to go through in order to become a great lady. The next one will be at Korakuen Hall so today was their last appearance in 2020.

2. Shoko Nakajima & Hyper Misao defeated Miyu Yamashita & Marika Kobashi when Nakajima pinned Kobashi with the Northern Lights Suplex (8:20).
3. Nodoka Tenma, Yuki Aino & Moka Miyamoto defeated Maki Iyoh, Hikari Noa & Sena Shiori when Tenma pinned Shiori with a Diving Body Press (14:18).
4. Yuki Kamifuku & Mahiro Kiryu defeated Suzume & Mirai Maiumi when Kiryu pinned Maiumi with the Spinebuster (7:32).
5. Rika Tatsumi, Miu Watanabe & Pom Harajuku defeated Yuka Sakazaki, Mzuki & Raku when Tatsumi pinned Raku with the Twist Of Fate (13:08).

Rika Tatsumi is taking her time when it comes to Yuka Sakazaki. She has a lot on her mind about their history together heading into 4th January so she will talk about it little by little. When she heard Sakazaki at “WRESTLE PRINCESS” say she will always give it her all because she doesn’t want to lose, that connected with Tatsumi. She’s happy to know they share the same mindset. Tatsumi normally doesn’t like working out and practicing hard but she will begin secret dragon training to prepare for the Ittenyon Princess Of Princess Title match.

Mahiro Kiryu got revenge on Mirai Maiumi for eliminating her in the International Princess Title tournament 1st Round by pinning her in their tag match. Kiryu was frustrated by the loss while still being happy to see Yuki Kamifuku win the vacant title. Now that she won today, Kiryu wants to face Kamifuku for the championship! Kamifuku understands where Kiryu is coming from but she isn’t sure Kiryu is stylish enough to be the same kind of champion she is. Still, she accepted the challenge and asked for it to be an important match they will both improve from. She also decided that the match should happen in Narimasu because that was where they were supposed to team up and fight for a Princess Tag Team Titles shot back in October.

Early in Match #3, Sena Shiori needed to tag out. Maki Itoh wanted to tag in but Shiori ignored her to tag Hikari Noa instead. After those two tagged in back and forth, Itoh got fed up and began attacking Noa and they fought each other on the floor. They eventually got along again when they realised Shiori was left to fight The Bakuretsu Sisters and Moka Miyamoto on her own.

Hyper Misao entered the ring wearing a veil and carrying a bouquet while “Happy Summer Wedding” was playing instead of her normal music. Everyone heard that on Friday she got engaged. Today she announced that on 22nd November she and Takamasa Utashiro got married! Now that she is a wife, Misao wants to repent for her past mistakes and spread happiness to other people. So she will give her bouquet to somebody else she wants to be happy. Marika Kobashi is still a little young so Misao chose Miyu Yamashita. She handed her the bouquet and then it suddenly sprayed water into Yamashita’s face. It was a trap! Yamashita quickly recovered and gave Misao a Soccer Kick. Misao’s tag partner Shoko Nakajima declared their plan a failure and the match went on as normal.

The Shiden Kai used by Nao Kakuta is a Spinning Stunner.
