Some of the previous Tokyo Princess Cup winners are starting to fall after the first set of Round 2 matches took place today. The main event was a rematch five years in the making. Miyu Yamashita and Rika Tatsumi have not had a proper singles match together since the pandemic days of empty arena wrestling. Last year’s Princess Cup had the course set for them to meet up but it never shook out that way. This year was finally the time for the fated match to take place. Yamashita got a nearfall after a Running High Kick followed by the Attitude Adjustment. Tatsumi caught the Skull Kick, countered it into a Dragon Screw and did the Sliding Hip Attack for her own nearfall. Tatsumi then avoided the Crash Rabbit Heat and jumped onto Yamashita’s back to apply a Sleeper Hold. From there she turned it into the Dragon Sleeper and moved Yamashita away from the ropes. Once she transitioned over to the White Dragon Sleeper, Yamashita gave up. After the match Tatsumi said she never beat Yamashita in their previous bouts and was starting to think she could never beat her. But now that she won today’s boss battle she now believes she can win the whole tournament! Backstage Yamashita said she falls in love with pro wrestling ever more whenever she wrestles Tatsumi. She also loves Tatsumi’s heart both as a wrestler and as a person. She also acknowledged losing a lot of significant singles matches lately. It is a challenge she will need to address especially since she currently holds the EVE International Title.
The other previous Princess Cup winner to get eliminated today was Mizuki at the hands of Hyper Misao! Before the match begun, Misao handed Mizuki a love letter for her to read out loud. The letter said Misao has done so many shameful things in her career that it gave everyone the impression that she would do something underhanded whenever she speaks on the microphone. She is so disgusted with herself that she will never do anything underhanded again starting with today’s match. She even wrote that she made this letter because she knew Mizuki wouldn’t believe her if she told her face to face. When Mizuki finished reading, the two shook hands but Mizuki tried to kick Misao. It was caught and Misao let her go, only to attack her from behind while the bell was being rung to start the match. She then pulled her cape over Mizuki’s head, undid a turnbuckle pad to use as a weapon against her and even wrapped Mizuki up in the ring apron outside. Mizuki tried her best to overcome the cheating but once she did, Misao ended up catching her with La Magistral Cradle for the win! Mizuki later wanted to rip the love letter to pieces but had a change of heart. Instead she promises beat Misao next time, return the letter to her and tell her she doesn’t need it. Misao admits the result might have been a miracle but a win is still a win. She thinks more summer miracles will come her way too. Except she got the unlucky draw of facing Rika Tatsumi in the Quarter Finals. According to Tatsumi, Misao is her nemesis. Misao is also taking this match seriously because the result will determine which course her pro wrestling life will take her next.
This year is HIMAWARI’s first proper go at entering the Princess Cup and she’s making the most of it so far. She might have taken Wakana Uehara’s run from last year and used that kind of performance to eliminate Uehara herself! The two were evenly matched enough to get into a battle of Elbow Smashes near the end. Uehara got an upper hand using an Ezuigiri but when she went for the Sushi Tornado, HIMAWARI instead dragged her down to the mat and put her in the Single Leg Crab Hold for the tap out victory. Uehara cannot believe that she won’t become the main character of the summer. She finds the taste of HIMAWARI to be so bitter and awful. HIMAWARI said this win is revenge for losing to Uehara in the Next Generation Tournament ’23 final. Today she got to show all the growth she’s made in the last two years and eight months since that match!
The hometown advantage sadly wasn’t enough for Chika Nanase to beat Arisu Endo. She psyched herself up while hitting Endo with a Shoulder Thrust through the ropes that knocked Endo out of the ring. But Nanase couldn’t lock in the Inari Torii Kai when she had to and Endo punished her for it with a Super Kick and the Waterwheel Drop. There was no hope for Nanase after that and Endo made her submit to the Camel Clutch. Nanase said she felt honored to have her first Princess Cup match this year in her hometown and wanted to win no matter who her opponent was. But she discovered just how amazing Endo is first hand so it was a frustrating experience despite also being an incredibly fun one. Endo likes how Nanase always gets back up no matter how often she gets knocked down so she would love to fight her again. For now though her eyes are set on HIMAWARI in the next round. She heard HIMAWARI describe herself as a “Yellow Arisu Endo”. The real Endo is going to make HIMAWARI regret growing her hair out so long.
In one of the non-tournament matches, Pom Harajuku taunted Yuki Arai while sitting on her by grabbing the playoff bracket display from nearby and pointing to their upcoming match in the corner of the board. Harakuku then tried to attack Arai with the display but Arai dodged it.
33 year old Yuki Kamifuku came to grips with her own mortality when she found out the ages of her opponents in the opening match. When Haru Kazashiro, Uta Takami & Momo Sato all said they were 18, 19 and 15 respectively Kamifuku suffered great mental damage and briefly fell into a heap.
