It took nine months but Miu Watanabe has regained her spot in Tokyo Joshi Pro as the Princess Of Princess Champion! She was warned by Mizuki not to mess with her and the champ tried to break down Watanabe with big moves like the Cutie Special, the Diving Foot Stomp and the Face Lock. Watanabe’s power became an effective counter through the use of Power Slams and the Giant Swing. She also carried Mizuki up to the top rope so she could Avalanche Power Slam her right back down to the canvas. Mizuki got a nearfall with the Whirling Candy and tried going for the Cutie Special. But Watanabe countered it into a High Angle Tear Drop and then out-grappled her into do a spinning version of the Tear Drop for the victory.
After the match Watanabe said this was her second title match with Mizuki this year and it feels like she’s had her all to herself. There is no other princess like Mizuki because she is kind and considerate so Watanabe is happy to win the belt that Mizuki made shine so brightly. Now as the summer is about to end, Watanabe will make sure the Princess Title will shine even brighter! After she said that, Yuki Aino entered the ring and said the match that just happened was too amazing. She used to consider herself as Watanabe’s rival because they both debuted in the same year but before she knew it Watanabe has gone way ahead of her. Aino wants to have a passionate title match with the new champion to prove her worth. Watanabe said they haven’t fought each other much lately so she would like to see Aino being passionate in the ring up close in person. She accepted the challenge and the match will take place at Korakuen Hall on 18th October. Watanabe can become the Summer princess and Autumn princess all she wants because all Aino is aiming for is to become champion! When Aino left the ring, Watanabe told the fans she will make TJPW become the biggest dreamland in the world!
The Princess Tag Team Titles were on the line in a rematch from Las Vegas but Hyper Misao predicted the outcome would be the same. She then asked Wakana Uehara if she is ok to wrestle after losing a few teeth recently. Uehara defiantly told her she can fight and proved it by pulling out a hamburger and taking a bite out of it! She even decided to bite Shoko Nakajima in the arm later in the match! Kyoraku Kyomei had to go back to their other usual tricks like Misao spraying the other team or crashing her Hypami Mobile into Mahiro Kiryu at ringside. However Yuki Kamifuku proved to be the difference maker. She prevented Nakajima from doing the Locomotion Northern Lights Suplex and instead cut her down with the Diving Famouser to win the match.
Backstage Kamifuku talked about how much she hates competing in important matches like title bouts and tournament finals because they are such hard work. But she didn’t want to let Uehara down and summoned a rebellious spirit to win and look cool towards her partner. She also explained that despite being a regular for TJPW all this time, she’s really been a freelancer wrestling for the company through an entertainment agency. She doesn’t know if she needs to speak to Sanshiro Takagi or Tetsuya Koda about this but now that she’s won a second TJPW championship it is time for her to become a full time member of the company! Uehara said if it wasn’t for Kamifuku, she would have broken down after her injury and wouldn’t be here as a champion right now. Kyoraku Kyomei were hoping to hold the Tag Titles long enough for their annual singles match on 4th January next year. They didn’t underestimate Ober Eats but they admit they fought a version of them they’ve never seen before. Nakajima & Misao lost today so they’ll go become even stronger in ways the other team have never seen before!
Arisu Endo’s smile has grown a little bit wider because she has won the International Princess Title! The vacant belt was up for grabs with Endo having to face Priscilla Kelly instead of her originally opponent Jada Stone. Kelly tried to throw Endo off her game early then switched to being more aggressive as the match went on. Endo wore her down with a Sleeper Hold and a Camel Clutch, keeping her grip on her submission even after Kelly tried to slam her way out of it. Kelly used her own skills with a counter attack that included a Sliding German Suplex and also a Dragon Suplex. But Endo fought her way back with a Thrust Kick that set up the match winning Ju no Okite. Endo joked about how heavy it feels to hold the belt. She is overjoyed that for the first time in her life she won something all by herself. With this belt she hopes to go visit many fun places where she can eat delicious food. Her summer has been scorching hot and she wants it to get even hotter like up to trillions of billions of degrees!
Aino earned her claim for a Princess Title shot by joining the short list of people in TJPW to ever have made Miyu Yamashita submit! Yamashita thought Ryo Mizunami was going to be the big target to break down so she and Kaya Toribami focused their efforts against her. Aino didn’t want to be left out though and made sure to go after Yamashita when Mizunami broke through the other team. Aino dodged Yamashita’s kicks and dropped her backwards with the Venus DDT. Then from there she applied the Full Nelson Of Love And Fire. Mizunami did her best to hold Toribami back and Yamashita had no option but to give up. Backstage Mizunami called Aino amazing for achieving that result with the fire she brought out today. Aino asked her to come back to TJPW again so Yukiniki can team more often. Toribami said she was sure her team would win because she thought she had great chemistry with Yamashita. The two of them also want to keep teaming together so they can get stronger next time.
It was Hiroyo Matsumoto’s first appearance in TJPW and she wasn’t interested in shaking hands with her opponents. Although she did quip out some greetings to Haru Kazashiro & Toga while she was wrestling them. When she wasn’t “making friends” she was aiding Yuki Arai in controlling the match. She grabbed Toga to seperate her from Kazashiro, giving Arai the space to hit her finisher and win. Matsumoto said she couldn’t afford to lose since her team had a master-disciple dynamic. She also wants Arai to tell her all about TJPW, like if Kazashiro & Toga felt scared fighting her? Arai calls Matsumoto the foundation that helped give birth to her wrestling career. She also remembers the two moves Matsumoto taught her for Tofu Pro Wrestling were the Heel Drop and the Back Elbow. She admitted she forgot to do the Back Elbow back then which made Milano Collection A.T. made at Matsumoto. But Arai remembered to do it today! Matsumoto thinks the move should now be named The Back Elbow Dedicated To Milano. As for Kazashiro & Toga, they are feeling completely defeated by fighting and outsider like Matsumoto. But they think it will make them mentally stronger so if she ever returns they will be more ready to stand against her again.
A few small flags were placed in opposite corners for the Flag Scramble Death Match. Rika Tatsumi and Pom Harajuku were tasked with grabbing the other’s flag in order to use a weapon. Tatsumi got one first and after Harjuku chased after her, the weapon was revealed to be a bag of 100 colorful plastic balls. Harajuku scattered the balls everywhere and threw them one by one at her opponent. Tatsumi then grabbed the other flag and the weapon turned out to be a large folding fan. She used it at first but then decided she can win without using any. Harajuku then grabbed a flag and received two mega penlights to use against Tatsumi’s fan. The final flag was captured by Tatsumi which allowed her to use the GM Tetsuya Koda as a weapon! He was relunctantly dragged into the ring and thrown at Harajuku. Tatsumi then jumped off the top rope with the folding fan but hit Koda over the head with it by mistake. Tatsumi grabbed the penlight and charged Harajuku only to get rolled up and pinned for the three count. Harajuku wondered what would happen today but since it was a death match with toys in it she knew she would win because she’s a three year old and toys are for babies! She then pointed out the weapons Tatsumi chose were not toys at all so she was actually lucky to win. Tatsumi couldn’t believe she lost to Harajuku and called it the biggest stain on her life. She blames Koda for this!
HIMAWARI decided to rely on her best weapon to try and beat Aja Kong. That weapon is her long hair braids which she explained she is allowed to use because they are part of her body. But when she charged in to whip them around, Kong held her at a distance by her head and then knocked her down with a slap. Kong then tortured HIMAWARI by pulling at her hair, claiming that she isn’t breaking any rules because she is simply grabbing a part of HIMAWARI’s body. Kong continued to use that loophole by claiming her steel can is a part of her body so she can hit HIMAWARI with it as much as she wants! HIMAWARI tried her best to block the attack but eventually took a blow to the head from it. When Kong went for the Back Drop, HIMAWARI fought her off by using Hair Whips but made the mistake of trying to lift her up for the Princess Drop. Instead Kong gave her a Lariat for a nearfall and then the Back Drop to get the win. She gave HIMAWARI some words of encouragement after the match. Backstage she described how dangerous HIMAWARI’s hair is by comparing it to Acrobatic Silky from Dandadan. She warns the next time they fight she will have to cut it off her head! Meanwhile HIMAWARI is threatening to smash the steel can to bits with her hair!
We have entered into a new era of the Iron Man Heavymetalweight Title. Behold the era of Mahironman! Pokotan entered the Battle Royal first as the defending champion but already suffered a bad omen when the mascot’s head fell off. Then during the match Chika Nanase knocked the head off again causing the faceless mascot to briefly transform into Keiju Muto and pin her with the Shining Wizard. Raku entered the match armed with a pillow and formed a very brief alliance with Pokotan before betraying him. Ram Kaichow then entered the match thinking Pokotan was actually Raku inside the costume. So when the real Raku saw them hugging and dancing together, she attacked both of them with the pillow and pinned Pokotan. However since the pillow was directly on top of Pokotan during the pin, Daisuke Kiso declared Raku’s Pillow was now the champion! The Pillow also eliminated Shino Suzuki when Kira Summer gave her the Samoan Drop with the pillow in between them. Raku eliminated Summer and then patched things up with Kaichow to knock Mifu Ashida out of the ring while Mahiro Kiryu was confused by all of the pillow spots. Kiryu ended up getting Raku to accidentally eliminated Kaichow and then gave her the Spinebuster on top of the pillow for the three count. Kiso ended the match there because he counted the pin on both Raku and the pillow, making Kiryu the new champion! Kiryu would like to welcome all challengers to come fight her for the title but she is feeling tired at the moment and requests to get some rest first. Then when she’s ready people can come challenge her in moderation.
The opening match was filled with kindred spirits in multiple pairings. Suzume was teaming with Ren Konatsu who she inspired to become a pro wrestler. Mei Suruga came over from ChocoPro to team up with Uta Takami and the two of them are as close as sisters given how similar they behave. Plus Suzume and Suruga being in the ring again gave fans a Meibee Surprise reunion. But those two ended up cancelling each other out, leaving Konatsu to duke it out against Konatsu. Suzume made it back in to cut off the Koala Clutch only for Suruga to take her out with a Diving Cross Body. Takami went back to Konatsu with a short range Dropkick before applying the Koala Clutch again, getting the submission win. Takami said her wish came true because she wanted to win with Suruga in Ota Ward. Suruga wished it would have happened under better circumstances since both her and Suzume were recently champions at the same time but they both no longer have any. But she sees how Suzume is looking forward so she will do the same and hopefully some day it will lead them to having a singles match against each other.
Three new trainees were introduced to the fans at the start of the show. They are currently named Shion, Anri and Yuka. All three are currently training with the goal of eventually making their pro debuts.
The first ever TJPW event in Thailand will take place on 13th December! “TJPW LIVE IN BANGKOK” is being held in The Circus Studio with help from SETUP Thailand. Around 10 TJPW wrestlers will be on the show along with wrestlers from the Southeast Asian scene. Pumi Boonyatud the owner of SETUP was in attendance to announce the news.
The next big arena show for TJPW will be happening on 29th March, 2026. It will be “GRAND PRINCESS ’26” and the venue for it is Sumo Hall! By the time it takes place it will be just under two years since TJPW’s previous show in the building.
New merchandise was revealed for TJPW’s collaboration with Katamari Damacy. As part of the campaign, Mizuki and Suzume will attend next weekend’s Tokyo Games Show for an autograph session.

9. Princess Of Princess Title: Mizuki (c) Vs Miu Watanabe
Act III begins. Tokyo Joshi Pro’s year long trilogy of major shows held at Ota Ward Gymnasium ends with the sixth annual “WRESTLE PRINCESS” show. And to be honest it’s really just the main event that’s doing a the heavy lifting here. That might end up becoming the payoff of a nine month lone storyline while so much of the rest of the card doesn’t have much to talk about when it comes to the last few months of shows. What it lacks in build it instead makes up for with wrestler relationships past and present. Most of the guests have some sort of association with the wrestlers they will be in the ring with. An injury on short notice also caused a couple of changes the card including one of the championship matches.
1. Suzume & Ren Konatsu Vs Mei Suruga & Uta Takami
The show kicks off with a tag match filled with kindred spirits. Suzume was the inspiration for Ren Konatsu to become a wrestler and it didn’t take long after her debut for the two of them to team up. Meanwhile the two sisters from other misters have found each other again. Mei Suruga & Uta Takami are back together to show that apples and ice cream are for everybody. These four have enough energy by themselves to keep the venue’s power in check for the rest of the show.
2. Iron Man Heavymetalweight Title – Staggered Entry Battle Royal: Pokotan (c) Vs Raku Vs Mahiro Kiryu Vs Shino Suzuki Vs Mifu Ashida Vs Kira Summer Vs Chika Nanase Vs Ram Kaichow
I might be wrong but ever since the Iron Man Heavymetalweight Title got its new belt it feels like the championship has spent more time out of DDT than in it. It’s been hovering near TJPW for over a month now and they seem to like holding the Battle Royal on their undercard. The DDT mascot Pokotan is currently the champion and must fight off seven opponents to survive another day. Not a lot has changed with the usual crew of opponents getting involved. Mahiro Kiryu is still apologetic, Shino Suzuki has her Up Up Girls duties, Mifu Ashida really likes using the Y-Shaped Guillotine in her matches, Kira Summer got to wrestle in Malaysia recently and Chika Nanase is adapting to more of a gal style for her appearance. The wild card is Ram Kaichow. Just like last time she is a late entry to the match and TJPW is anticipating she will pull off a plan to win the championship before the match even starts again. I assume Raku will be glad to help her with that once more.
3. Aja Kong Vs HIMAWARI
I have worked out one realistic way for HIMAWARI to win this match. She will have a chance if she can travel back in time to 1987 so she can claim seniority over a rookie Aja Kong and therefore win via the senpai-kohai pattern of Japanese wrestling booking. Otherwise she’s boned. Those hair whips are not going to do a thing against Kong’s steel can. Even when Kong is having a good day she will still whack someone over the head with one of those things.
4. Flag Scramble Weapon Death Match: Rika Tatsumi Vs Pom Harajuku
Okay this was not in the plans at all. Rika Tatsumi’s original match got pulled because her opponent was bumped up to one of the title matches so instead of fighting the woman who licked her face that one time seven years ago, she now has to babysit Pom Harajuku. It’s bad enough trying to chase Harajuku around but she also usually finds ways to try and trap Tatsumi out of venues so she can almost win by countout. That might not happen here because special rules are being applied to make up for the match change.
Both wrestlers will start the match with a flag in their corner of the ring. If you steal your opponent’s flag you will be allowed to choose one of two pre-determined weapons to use for the rest of the match. What these weapons will be we just have to wait and see. It’s just two weapons though so it will only take both flags being captured for both weapons to come into play. Will Tatsumi bring her sasumata pole back? Can Harajuku wheel in a gacha machine again like she did in Texas? Is Yukinori Matsui going to be the ref so he has to deal with this silliness with that tired look on his face?
5. Hiroyo Matsumoto & Yuki Arai Vs Haru Kazashiro & Toga
Welcome “Lady Destroyer” to TJPW! Hiroyo Matsumoto goes way back with Yuki Arai by being one of her coaches for Tofu Pro Wrestling from 2018. It gives Arai something to bounce back from after losing in the main event of her previous Ota Ward appearance. The young team of Haru Kazashiro & Toga have been chosen to be their opponents. Toga is excited to fight Matsumoto head on and is even confident she can knock her down with her Elbow Strike. Although her new friend Yuna Manase warned Toga she better go all out to stand a chance against Matsumoto.
6. Miyu Yamashita & Kaya Toribami Vs Ryo Mizunami & Yuki Aino
It’s a Yukiniki reunion! None of Ryo Mizunami’s previous visits to TJPW this year had anything to do with Yuki Aino so it’s nice to finally see them back together after being apart for this long. The highlight of Aino’s year so far was becoming the main character of the third annual “HYPE!” show (and its director’s cut) which again begs the question, has she finally figured out how to take the next step up the card yet? Maybe it’s for the best that Yukiniki stick together because Aino’s best work is as a tag wrestler.
Their opponents aren’t much of a solid team yet but maybe there’s something to be found with this pairing. Miyu Yamashita might be heading into a new stage of her career as TJPW’s first “Leader” of the locker room. She’s out of the title picture and no longer has Maki Itoh to work off of in the company. However she sees potential in Kaya Toribami and wants to see for herself what the masked woman can unleash in the ring. Toribami is getting more confident which is also opening up more opportunities for her. Like getting slapped in the chest by Mizunami a lot. Gotta fly through that fire eventually, bird.
7. International Princess Title Match: Arisu Endo Vs Priscilla Kelly
Can we get Poison Sawada JULIE to take a look at the International Princess Title belt because this championship is back to being cursed again. In a sad turn of events, Moka Miyamoto’s title reign couldn’t even get out of the starting blocks because as soon as she won it at “SUMMER SUN PRINCESS ’25” she then fell ill and had to take time off for treatment. When it became clear that whatever it is she’s been dealing with was keeping her out of action for the long term, the title was vacated. A new champion will have to be crowned at Ota Ward.
I though TJPW’s two choices for the title match was a good piece of booking. On one side was Arisu Endo who is in the middle of a breakout run that included reaching the final of this year’s Tokyo Princess Cup. She is also the tag team partner of the previous champion Suzume. Endo’s opponent would be Jada Stone, the American who fought Suzume in a neat two match series over the title during the year but couldn’t win the belt in either match. That’s an intriguing pairing to me. Then earlier this week Stone posted the bad news that she suffered a knee injury and had to cancel her next tour of Japan to go get an MRI scan.
So plans for the IP Title had to change again. Endo is still in the match and now her opponent is going to be Priscilla Kelly. It’s been over seven years since Kelly had her couple of tours with TJPW. Endo wasn’t around for that so I hope those who were have given her fair warning of what to expect. WWE didn’t change her that much when she was Gigi Dolin over there. Kelly is also starting to build up her own little collection of championships on the American indies. She hasn’t been shy about taking pictures of herself about to lick the belts in victory. Will this be the next fate for the IP Title?
8. Princess Tag Team Titles: Shoko Nakajima & Hyper Misao (c) Vs Yuki Kamifuku & Wakana Uehara
Terry Funk ain’t wear no mouthpiece and neither does Wakana Uehara.
The last time Kyoraku Kyomei defended the Princess Tag Team Titles against Ober Eats was in Las Vegas back in April. At the time Yuki Kamifuku & Wakana Uehara had only just begun teaming and couldn’t match the many years of chemistry that only a kaiju and a superhero could produce together. Shoko Nakajima in particular is having a heck of a year. Not only is she keeping up to her usual level on TJPW shows, she also went and took over MLW’s women’s division in America. To help build up to this match, Nakajima even defended the MLW Women’s World Featherweight Title against Kamifuku in Texas just last week. Her message going into this match is loud and clear. You won’t win if you can’t bite like a kaiju!
An injury robbed us of a clever match buildup because while Nakajima and Kamifuku were fighting over a championship in America, TJPW was going to have Hyper Misao face Wakana Uehara on the same day back in Japan. The booking made sense given that Ober Eats earned their rematch thanks to Uehara pinning Misao in an 8-Woman Tag involving the two teams. It felt like a kick in the teeth when the singles match had to be pulled because that’s exactly what happened. Misao accidentally knocked out one of Uehara’s front teeth with a Kingslayer Jumping Knee Strike during a match. Uehara hadn’t wrestled since and has been using the time off to charge herself up for the title bout in between her visits to the dentist.
This is where TJPW is different from a lot of other pro wrestling companies. Normally an injury like this is ripe to build up heat and maybe even lead to a revenge angle at the end of the match as a payoff. But TJPW is not that kind of wrestling promotion. As Misao explained with a tweet after the match, inflicting injuries is not a badge of honour here. This also isn’t the place to where wrestlers are motivated to take an eye for an eye (or a tooth for a tooth). With that being said I bet it will feel pretty sweet for Uehara if she can pin Misao with a Jackknife Pin for the three count again, this time to win the tag titles. It’s a pair of belts that have evaded Kamifuku for as long as both have existed in wrestling.
9. Princess Of Princess Title: Mizuki (c) Vs Miu Watanabe
Something that TJPW’s 2025 should be remembered for is the story arc of Mizuki Vs Miu Watanabe. It’s been a tale of princesses and monsters often with the roles being merged together. When the year began, Watanabe was the Princess Of Princess Champion who became so dominant that she was accused of becoming the kind of monster she had to beat to win the prize in the first place. Then on 4th January Mizuki entered the story as the hero slaying the “Monster” to win the title as the true “Princess” she is. As the months progressed, Mizuki held onto the belt with two title defences in Ota Ward along with a successful defence in Las Vegas inbetween. She can make it a hat trick of Ota Ward title defences that can turn this reign into the most defining singles run of her career.
While all of that was going on for the rabbit, the monster had to lick her wounds and go find the princess she knew was inside of her. That journey of discovery took place over the summer where Watanabe won the Tokyo Princess Cup, a tournament that slipped through her fingers three years earlier. With that hole in her heart finally patched up, Watanabe found her glow up and is now ready to have the title rematch with Mizuki. Some hints have been dropped along the way from Mizuki noticing her opponent becoming more Cinderella-like to Watanabe literally tripping out of her shoe and leaving it behind while she was exiting an interview. Just like how some bedtime stories go, it will take a magical Tear Drop to turn the monster into a princess so she can live happily ever after. Hang on, isn’t Mizuki supposed to be the princess in this story? She’s not going to give up that cushy gig without a fight!

9. Princess Of Princess Title: Mizuki (c) Vs Miu Watanabe
A knee injury has prevented Jada Stone from travelling to Japan so she is no longer able to appear at “WRESTLE PRINCESS VI”. A new opponent is needed for Arisu Endo so she will now face Priscilla Kelly in the match with the vacant International Princess Title on the line. Pom Harajuku has been taken out of the Battle Royal to become Rika Tatsumi’s new opponent. That match will also have special rules applied which will be announced as soon as they are determined.
I don’t know if I can get a preview of the show completed before Saturday. I’ve been feeling under the weather lately which stopped me from writing one. One might be posted on Friday night but don’t take that as a promise.

SUPER JAPAN “COME AGAIN 2025”, 14/10/2025 Shinjuku FACE
0. Exhibition Match: Sanshiro Takagi Vs Munenori Sawa
1. Special Tag Match: Suwama & Yuki Kamifuku Vs Kuroshio TOKYO Japan & Momoka Hanazono
2. Special Single Match: Yuji Nagata Vs Shinya Aoki
So what unusual match making is Super Japan coming up with this time? How about pairing Suwama and Yuki Kamifuku together because they are both from Fujiwara City? Cool, now what if they go against Kuroshio TOKYO Japan & Momoka Hanazono the two wrestlers who get up to nutty things whenever they are left to their own devices? Kamifuku and Kuroshio have wrestled each other before (and Kamifuku has a win over Kuroshio) but Suwama and Hanazono taking each other on sounds like something new.
DDT “KIRANAH BBQ ROJO PRO WRESTLING 2025 ~ MEAT! BEER! HARVEST FESTIVAL!~”, 17/09/2025 Tokyo Kiranah Garden Toyosu

There was an expectation from Tokyo Joshi Pro that someone will want to be added to the Battle Royal and their suspicion was proved correct. Ram Kaichow is entering the match and TJPW is also anticipating she will together a plan to win the Iron Man Heavymetalweight Title before the match even begins, just like the last time she was here.

8. Princess Tag Team Titles: Shoko Nakajima & Hyper Misao (c) Vs Yuki Kamifuku & Wakana Uehara
9. Princess Of Princess Title: Mizuki (c) Vs Miu Watanabe
Earlier today a press conference was held at Abema Towers in Shibuya to promote the three title matches happening at “WRESTLE PRINCESS VI”. For the Princess Of Princess Title match Miu Watanabe told her story of being the champion until 4th January this year when Mizuki beat her for it. Now eight months later she gets the chance to take the title back from her. During those eight months she’s been waiting to take the lead of Tokyo Joshi Pro again and tell everyone she is a princess. She respects Mizuki as a princess because you won’t find anyone as kind, strong, beautiful and gentle as her. She is a pro princess! But princesses are always looking for their true love and true love for “Miu Cinderella” is the Princess Title!
Mizuki admits to being incredible scared of having to fight Watanabe again but she is also excited by it. It will also be Mizuki’s third title defence in Ota Ward Gymnasium. She credits her previous challengers Miyu Yamashita, Rika Tatsumi and Yuki Arai for putting her in this position because she couldn’t have accomplished this alone. She is curious to see where the story of Miu Cinderella will go but she wants to continue telling her own story as the pro princess too. Watanabe then joked that Mizuki is always talking to birds behind the scenes because princesses are friends to animals.
Ober Eats have their motivations for becoming the Princess Tag Team Champions. Even though Wakana Uehara lost some teeth from wrestling Hyper Misao last weekend, she is using the recovery time to recharge so her mental strength will be incredibly strong for the title match. She promised to make up for it by taking the belts from Kyoraku Kyomei! Her partner Yuki Kamifuku said the tag titles were created shortly after she debuted but she was never able to win them. She thinks her vibe is different from Uehara’s but she wants to work hard for her so both of them can become champions after failing to win them so many times with other partners.
The champions can tell their opponents have changed since the first title match in Las Vegas. Shoko Nakajima wants them to grow even more before the rematch. She thinks it is fate that she and Kamifuku will be fighting each other in Texas this weekend with the MLW Women’s World Featherweight Title on the line. The height difference between the two is the largest in TJPW and Nakajima thinks there is always something new for them to discover when they wrestle each other. When Kyoraku Kyomei defend the belts again, she is going to ask Kamifuku to become her personal English teacher for a year and also get Uehara to teach her how to eat a lot. Misao is focused on breaking the record for most Princess Tag Title defences currently held by The Magical Sugar Rabbits. There are more challengers appearing over the horizon and she can sense the momentum Ober Eats are on. If there is one thing Misao has learned in her ten years of being a wrestler, it is the thick-skinned ones always win. Nakajima then told Uehara that if she can’t bite a kaiju then she can’t win this match!
The contract for the International Princess Title match has not been fully signed until Jada Stone arrives in Japan. She will sign the contract when she does arrive there. Her opponent Arisu Endo attended the press conference and talked about having the best summer ever because of her performance in the Tokyo Princess Cup. However she was still disappointed because she was the runner up despite working so hard by herself. She is now determined to grab this chance to become the new IP Champion. She praised Stone for her incredible athleticism and power. Endo wants to use her own style without losing any rhythm to beat her. She also feels lucky because it will be her second chance at winning this championship in Ota Ward this year.
TOKYO JOSHI PRO “WRESTLE PRINCESS VI”, 20/09/2025 Tokyo Ota Ward Gymnasium
1. Suzume & Ren Konatsu Vs Mei Suruga & Uta Takami
2. Iron Man Heavymetalweight Title – Staggered Entry Battle Royal: Pokotan (c) Vs Raku Vs Pom Harajuku V Mahiro Kiryu Vs Shino Suzuki Vs Mifu Ashida Vs Kira Summer Vs Chika Nanase
3. Aja Kong Vs HIMAWARI
4. Rika Tatsumi Vs Priscilla Kelly
5. Hiroyo Matsumoto & Yuki Arai Vs Haru Kazashiro & Toga
6. Miyu Yamashita & Kaya Toribami Vs Ryo Mizunami & Yuki Aino
7. International Princess Title Match: Arisu Endo Vs Jada Stone
8. Princess Tag Team Titles: Shoko Nakajima & Hyper Misao (c) V Yuki Kamifuku & Wakana Uehara
9. Princess Of Princess Title: Mizuki (c) Vs Miu Watanabe
The full card for “WRESTLE PRINCESS VI” was announced earlier today although there might be an addition or two still to come. We have Ryo Mizunami returning to Tokyo Joshi Pro after not appearing here all summer. She is teaming up with Yuki Aino again to bring Yukiniki back together. And just like how Mizunami sees potential in Aino, Miyu Yamashita is starting to take Kaya Toribami under her wing as a tag partner too. So let’s set the two teams against each other.
TJPW welcomes Hiroyo Matsumoto into the fold for the first time. They also explained why she is teaming up with Yuki Arai. Eight years ago there was a TV show called Tofu Pro Wrestling that included a few live wrestling events featuring a lot of AKB48 connected talent. Arai took part under the name Bubbly Arai and Matsumoto was one of her trainers behind the scenes. Now eight years later they finally get together in the ring for a real pro wrestling match this time. Haru Kazashiro & Toga have been chosen to be their opponents.
There was only one previous time when Rika Tatsumi and Priscilla Kelly were in the same match together and that was back in 2018. Are the two prepared to discover how different they have both become since that match? Tatsumi vaguely remembers being licked last time. If Kelly tries that again she’s probably going to get strangled!
Over the last two months the Iron Man Heavymetalweight Title has been hanging around TJPW like a roommate who doesn’t pay rent and has nothing better to do. Pokotan the DDT mascot is currently the champion but it will be at this show ready to defend the title in a Battle Royal. There are seven other participants in the match but TJPW may add more in the lead up to the show. Also if Pokotan loses the title to someone not in the match before then, then the match will still take place with nothing on the line.
Oh no the two brats are back together! Mei Suruga is happy to be Uta Takami’s big sister again but they still need to come up with a tag team name. Neither Super Cute Sisters or Apple Ice Cream made the cut last year. Ren Konatsu already got to team with her idol Suzume but let’s see if they get along while having to deal with the other two troublemakers.
DDT “DDT ASAKUSA-KAI PRESENTS EDO NO NAKAMISE FIGHTING”, 02/09/2025 Tokyo Ueno Park Outdoor Stage

The first Right To Challenge Arm Cover has been used and bloody hell has it changed directions for DDT going into Sumo Hall later this year. Kazuki Hirata is now the KO-D Openweight Champion but there are still three Arm Covers remaining. They currently belong to Soma Takao (Red), Hideki Okatani (Blue) and Yuya Koroku (Green).
The card has been changed around a bit due to Daisuke Sasaki being injured. He is out of action for a while with a fractured rib.

The top championship in Ganbare☆Pro now belongs to Masaaki Mochizuki and his priorities are currently with Dragongate. He wants Shuichiro Katsumura to be his first challenger but Ken Ohka is pleading to get the title match instead. The answer to this is to have a No. 1 Contender’s match while Mochizuki is back in his home promotion.
GanPro also continues their rivalries with FREEDOMS and BASARA. The FREEDOMS match is getting more tense while things seem to be under control with BASARA.
1. 3 Way Tag Team Handicap Match: Chris Brookes & Antonio Honda Vs Charli Evans & Everett Connors Vs Dark King Ueki, Munek & Princess Ram
2. Special Single Match: Kota Sekifuda Vs MAO
It seems that Kota Sekifuda made a good first impression at “FUCKED UP FEST 2025” so he is getting another big match at Baka Gaijin + Friends. This time he is going to experience fighting MAO in his element!
Two new friends join the fray and they might be familiar to fans from certain parts of the world. Charli Evans is from Australia but usually calls the UK wrestling scene her home. She and Chris Brookes had many matches against each other before the pandemic. Her husband Everett Connors made a few GCW appearances coming out of the pandemic before moving his career to Australia with Evans.

DDT “DRAMATIC EXPO 2025”, 23/09/2025 Osaka Namba SkyO Convention Hall
1. KO-D Tag Team Titles: Yuki Iino & Yukio Naya (c) Vs To-y & Yuya Koroku
Koroku might need to hold onto his RTC Arm Cover for as long as he can because that’s the only reason why he and To-y are getting a KO-D Tag Team Titles shot. Yuki Iino has good memories of using the Right To Challenge prize and he wants to take the one Koroku currently has. He says he will cancel the match if Koroku loses it before then but I don’t know if he or Yukio Naya have the power to do that. The Apex are confident thet can keep the tag titles either way.
DDT “DRAMATIC INFINITY 2025 ~3 HOUR SPECIAL~”, 28/09/2025 Tokyo Korakuen Hall
1. DDT Universal Title: Minoru Suzuki (c) Vs Takeshi Masada
There seems to be no one out there brave enough to take the DDT Universal Title from Minoru Suzuki. Well, Takeshi Masada thinks he can do it and only got the match because he dared to accuse Suzuki of running away from a challenge. For that Suzuki is now threatening to kill Masada in the ring!
DDT “ULTIMATE PARTY 2025”, 03/11/2025 Tokyo Ryogoku Kokugikan
1. Sanshiro Takagi Return Match – Special Single Match: Sanshiro Takagi Vs Hinata Kasai
2. Special Tag Match: KONOSUKE TAKESHITA & Kaisei Takechi Vs X & X
3. Dramatic Dream Match: Zack Sabre Jr. Vs Chris Brookes
We’re not done yet with Chris Brookes’s reunion with Zack Sabre Jr. They realized it has been years since they last had a singles match against each other and it hasn’t been done in Japan yet. So why not do one at Sumo Hall for DDT’s biggest show of the year? Sabre is still the IWGP World Heavyweight Champion too. But for how long…
It will be around a year and four months that have gone by when Sanshiro Takagi finally returns to wrestle again. He only admitted recently that one of the reasons he was out of action for so long was because he was diagnosed with angina and wasn’t allowed to even do a proper workout by his doctor until he recovered. He also sees something special with Hinata Kasai and specifically chose him to be his opponent at Sumo Hall. Kasai understands how important the match is especially because it will be the opener. But he isn’t sweating over the result. In his eyes Takagi doesn’t have a lot in the tank in his current state so Kasai thinks he has a really good chance of winning his first match in Sumo Hall!

6. Special 6-Man Tag Match: Kazusada Higuchi, Ryota Nakatsu & Yuki Ishida Vs Satoshi Kojima, Antonio Honda & Yuya Koroku
It wasn’t hyped up this way when the match was announced but this show is happening on the day after Yuki Ueno’s birthday. So let’s turn his match into a celebration!
A dark match is being presented by the Nariagari amateur group. Danshoku Dieno is still involved with them and recently introduced Narigari Dream Championships into the promotion. The first champions won’t be crowned until 23rd September but maybe some of the wrestlers taking part in the DDT show will end up becoming the first title holders.

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “WRESTLE PRINCESS VI”, 20/09/2025 Tokyo Ota Ward Gymnasium
1. Princess Tag Team Titles: Shoko Nakajima & Hyper Misao (c) V Yuki Kamifuku & Wakana Uehara
2. Princess Of Princess Title: Mizuki (c) Vs Miu Watanabe
The Princess and The Monster are going to war over the Princess Of Princess Title again! Miu Watanabe has won this year’s Tokyo Princess Cup and has quickly marked Mizuki so she can take back the title she lost to her on 4th January.
A second chance has also been given to Ober Eats because they are going to challenge Kyoraku Kyomei for the Princess Tag Team Titles again. Shoko Nakajima & Hyper Misao were victorious when the two teams clashed in Las Vegas this past April but Yuki Kamifuku & Wakana Uehara have grown as a tag team since then. Uehara even has a pinfall win over Misao which is what got Ober Eats the rematch.
Priscilla Kelly returns to Tokyo Joshi Pro on this show for the first time since 2018.
