TOKYO JOSHI PRO “TJPW SPRING TOUR 2026 ~NEXT DOOR~ IN SHINJUKU”, 22/05/2026
Shinjuku FACE
335 Fans – No Vacancy

1. Raku defeated Kira Summer with the Doctor Yellow (8:06).
2. Pom Harajuku defeated Mifu Ashida with the Pom de Justice (5:56).
3. Yuki Aino & Haru Kazashiro defeated Arisu Endo & Shion Kanzaki when Kazashiro pinned Kanzaki with the Fisherman Suplex (9:19).
4. Shoko Nakajima & Hyper Misao defeated HIMAWARI & Ren Konatsu when Nakajima pinned Konatsu with the Locomotion Northern Lights Suplex (12:07).
5. Miyu Yamashita & Sakura Hattori defeated Toga & Chika Nanase when Yamashita pinned Nanase with the Attitude Adjustment (11:21).
6. Yuki Kamifuku, Mizuki, Uta Takami & Mahiro Kiryu defeated Yuki Arai, Miu Watanabe, Rika Tatsumi & Suzume when Kiryu pinned Suzume with the Spinebuster (15:20).

The same Champions Vs Challengers main event is taking place twice during this period, the first happened today in Tokyo while the rematch will be held in Osaka next weekend. The challenger team won the first battle thanks to Mahiro Kiryu blocking Suzume’s Ring A Bell in order to pin her with the Spinebuster instead. She told Suzume after the match she will be coming to get the International Princess Title from her at Korakuen Hall next month! Yuki Kamifuku said it is fitting that she and Kiryu are the same age, went to the same college and are both fighting for championships on the same show. Kiryu isn’t used to closing out the show so she came up with an interaction for the audience to do. When she says the word “Apology” (“Moushiwake”) the fans all say “We are deeply sorry” (“Gozaimasen deshita”) back to her!

Backstage Suzume took the blame for her team losing and promised she will absolutely not lose in the rematch next week. Yuki Arai felt like she couldn’t do anything because of Kamifuku putting pressure on her the whole match. She also said the more that Kamifuku is polishing her visuals, the bigger the urge Arai gets to kick her!

Daydream got a little bit of revenge after the match by kidnapping Mizuki in the ring and abducting her back to the locker room. For that reason, Rika Tatsumi believes Daydream didn’t lose today because they will now go get something delicious to eat with Mizuki. However Uta Takami caught up to them armed with ice cream. She shoved the ice cream into Daydream’s mouths and rescued Mizuki from their clutches. As they ran off Tatsumi said Takami calls herself a vicious koala but isn’t scary at all. Miu Watanabe said they will get some payback in Osaka.

At the beginning of the show Arai and Kamifuku had a contract signing for their Princess Of Princess Title match happening on 7th June. Kamifuku talked about the amount of support she’s been getting for her first time fighting for this championship. In the past she would have complained about the attention but here she is feeling obligated to do her best for everybody who is rooting for her. Arai brought up the previous times she fought Kamifuku for the other titles and how she has beat her every time (Kamifuku at the end of the show blamed Kiryu for not winning the Princess Tag Team Titles match back then). They have similar fighting styles and Kamifuku tends to light a fire under Arai. The champion intends to unleash the full power of her boots to walk away with the victory yet again.

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “STAND ALONE ’26”, 07/06/2026
Tokyo Korakuen Hall

1. Princess Tag Team Titles: Miu Watanabe & Rika Tatsumi (c) Vs Mizuki & Uta Takami
2. Princess Of Princess Title: Yuki Arai (c) Vs Yuki Kamifuku

It’s taken almost nine years for Yuki Kamifuku to challenge for the Princess Of Princess Title. It’s not because of a lack of merit or anything like that. She just doesn’t like taking part in important singles matches or cares that much about winning championships. But she’s not getting any younger and discovering her first signs of aging has kicked Kamifuku into finally fighting Yuki Arai for Tokyo Joshi Pro’s most important title. After all, winning wrestling championships is the greatest anti-aging technique you can find.

Daydream once again hold the Princess Tag Team Titles. Their first challengers are going to be the losing finalists from this year’s Max Heart Tournament. When Rika Tatsumi discovered that Mizuki found a new tag partner in Uta Takami, she wasn’t happy about it. She thinks beating them can bring that team to an end so she can keep Mizuki all to herself. Mizuki however wants to live in the present and continue her team with Takami. Maybe if they win the titles they can get an official tag team name. Miu Watanabe probably doesn’t have much of an opinion on the matter.

DDT/NJPW “ONE-ON-ONE CONFRONTATION PART 2 ~SASADANGO-GUN VS YANO-GUN 5-ON-5 ELIMINATION TAG BATTLE~”, 08/06/2025
Tokyo Korakuen Hall

1. Sasadango-gun Vs Yano-gun: X Vs X
2. Sasadango-gun Vs Yano-gun: X Vs X
3. Sasadango-gun Vs Yano-gun: X Vs X
4. Sasadango-gun Vs Yano-gun: X Vs X
5. Sasadango-gun Vs Yano-gun: X Vs X

Sasadango-gun: Super Sasadango Machine, MAO, Kazuki Hirata

Yano-gun: Toru Yano, El Desperado, Ryusuke Taguchi

Both Kazuki Hirata and Ryusuke Taguchi have been drafted into the DDT Vs New Japan battle. Super Sasadango Machine is trying to recruit Danshoku Dieno for the show but Dieno keeps turning him down in order to focus on his King Of DDT run.

Now here’s an interesting thought. Konosuke Takeshita over the weekend decided to join the Hontai unit in NJPW. Since Sasadango is under the assumption that Toru Yano is only going to pick wrestlers from Hontai, does that mean there’s a possibility of Takeshita joining Yano’s team?

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “YES! WONDERLAND ’26” Results

May 4, 2026

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

1. Ren Konatsu defeated Shion Kanzaki with the Shoulder Bites (5:45).

*V2 for Suzume.
8. Princess Tag Team Titles: Miu Watanabe & Rika Tatsumi defeated Jessie McKay & Cassie Lee (c) when Watanabe pinned Lee after the Daydream Eternity (12:53).
*The IInspiration fails in V2. Daydream becomes the 21st Princess Tag Team Champions!
9. Princess Of Princess Title: Yuki Arai (c) defeated Arisu Endo with the Finally (20:38).
*V2 for Yuki Arai.

It is the 5th Anniversary of Yuki Arai’s pro wrestling debut and she celebrates it by standing on top of the Tokyo Joshi Pro mountain. Her second Princess Of Princess Title defence was completed today with a victory over Arisu Endo, who was one of her first opponents in her debut match five years ago. Endo just couldn’t pull off the Ju no Okite to put Arai away with the move being either blocked or escaped from. After the latter happened, Arai got Endo with the Finally to the back of the head. She then hit the Rookie Award followed by another Finally to put Endo away. After the match Arai said Endo always calls her the main character of TJPW behind the scenes. Arai doesn’t like to say that but in her world, Endo is the main character too along with everyone else in TJPW. Backstage Endo said the match shows how much both of them have grown over five years because they got to fight for the Princess Title in the main event of Korakuen Hall today.

Back in the ring Arai talked about having her debut match five years ago. It was at an empty Korakuen Hall because of the covid pandemic but today she feels like she is in the best condition possible by defending the Princess Title in front of a big crowd. Yuki Kamifuku then entered the ring and told Arai she looks tired. When Kamifuku lost the Princess Tag Team Titles she wondered why she works so hard as a wrestler. She figured out it’s because it makes her feel beautiful! She isn’t really that invested in championships and hates fighting in singles matches but working so hard towards a goal feels like the perfect anti-aging technique for her. So for the first time ever Kamifuku wants to challenge for the Princess Title! Arai accepted and asked for the match to happen in Korakuen on 7th June. Kamifuku then asked to take a picture together with her while they’re both looking their youngest. Kamifuku admitted backstage she considered doing the title challenge two days ago when she looked in the mirror and noticed her skin was beginning to sag a bit. She also believes that Arai is already starting to rest on her laurels too much.

Daydream are now two-time Princess Tag Champions after they defeated The IInspiration, bringing the belts back home to TJPW. In the leadup to the match they made dolls of The IInspiration, claiming they were just doing it to be cute despite the dolls looking anything but. Jessie McKay & Cassie Lee were given the dolls as gifts before the match began but they threw them away and attacked the challengers. Late in the match Miu Watanabe saved Rika Tatsumi from taking the IIdolizer then she dropped Tatsumi onto both of them with a Human Bomb double team move. Lee and Watanabe then fought in the corner where Tatsumi used them as a stepping stone to hit McKay with the Flying Hip Attack. With McKay out of the way, Lee was given the Daydream Eternity and was pinned by Watanabe for the title change. The IInspiration later blamed the loss on TJPW being a dangerous workplace. They complained about having to wrestle after taking an 18 hour flight, getting paper streamers thrown at their heads, being hit in the face by Tatsumi’s butt, being swung around in circles by Watanabe and on top of it all feeling dehydrated the entire time. They wouldn’t mind coming back to TJPW but only if they have plenty of drinking water ready, everyone stops throwing paper streamers at them and they get to challenge for the tag titles again.

Watanabe said it feels like five million years since the last time they were Princess Tag Champions and Tatsumi wondered if everyone even remembers when they held the old white belts? Daydream felt the worldwide experience of The IInspiration while fighting them and they hope they will come back to Japan. Tatsumi now wants Daydream to go after the most defences record. Their first challengers then made themselves known when Mizuki & Uta Takami walked out. The two of them have continued teaming together since reaching the final of this year’s Max Heart Tournament. Takami has grown to love wrestling even more because of it so she wants to get a title shot with Mizuki. Tatsumi scolded Takami because she never gave her permission to team with Mizuki but she is willing to defend the titles against the two of them if it means the team will end after Daydream wins. However Mizuki said she is living in the present and wants to team with Takami to win the belts, even if it means stealing Tatsumi’s heart in the process. The title match will happen on 7th June.

Now is not the time yet for Haru Kazashiro to win championships. Suzume took Kazashiro’s best shot and was still standing. She kicked out of the Fisherman Suplex and escaped from the Straight Armbar to keep Kazashiro flustered. Kazashiro tried going for the Fisherman Suplex again but Suzume countered it into a Noshigami and followed up with a top rope Facecrusher. She then hit the Ring A Bell to remain as the International Princess Champion. She said she is happy to see Kazashiro reach the point to where they can fight each other in title matches now. Suzume is also very excited she will be going to her homecoming show in two days time as the IP Champion. Kazashiro called the match fun even though she feels like she could have done better. She gets frustrated when she isn’t able to show everyone what she learns in training and doesn’t get to fully enjoy her matches because of it. But today’s match confirmed to her who she is and it was the most fun she’s ever had because of it. She believes this confidence she gained will only make her stronger.

Something was on Hyper Misao’s mind when Kyoraku Kyomei faced K!SS// in a rematch from the Max Heart Tournament. Misao wanted to start the match off with Sakura Hattori straight away because she really wanted to fight the newcomer. However it seemed like she couldn’t tell that Hattori is the former Kaya Toribami who pinned her back in that tournament. Hattori’s ninja techniques were quickly foiled by Misao’s Hero Spray and Miyu Yamashita got blinded with it too. The match was decided under more skillful means when Hattori went back and forth with Shoko Nakajima. After a lot of dodged moves, Nakajima got the better of Hattori by countering the Kitcho Kagome cradle into a counter pin that held the ninja’s shoulders down for the three count. It wasn’t until Kyoraku Kyomei went back to the locker room that they realised Hattori used to be Toribami! Now they’re wondering how a bird suddenly turned into a ninja while they weren’t paying attention. Meanwhile Yamashita noted this was the first time K!SS// were teaming up since Hattori’s transformation. They’re going to continue teaming together and aim for a championship but Yamashita thinks they may need to rename the tag team to something more fitting for Hattori’s ninja aesthetic.

Toga collided with Ryo Mizunami from the get go with clashing Shoulder Blocks, Chops and Elbow Strikes. Mizunami blocked the Absolute Zero but still gave Toga encouragement to fight her harder. Toga was staggered after taking a Headbutt and some Lariats though. Once she was taken down with the Spear it was all over for her. Mizunami remembers her previous singles match with Toga around two and a half years ago. She’s happy to see Toga didn’t waste her time since them but still thinks Toga needs to forge her own path to get stronger. While Toga believes she has gotten stronger, she also thinks she has not closed the gap between her and Mizunami. She promised not to give up until she can definitely beat Mizunami!

The illusion that’s been crafted for Kakeru Sekiguchi & Mahiro Kiryu is at risk of falling apart. Kamifuku outright told them before their match that the two do not look alike! However after doing the opening exchange with Sekiguchi, Kamifuku lost track of who was who and couldn’t tell them apart any more. An attempt at twin magic was also played on Aja Kong but she solved the puzzle by slapping the both of them one after the other. She gave Sekiguchi the Back Drop but Kamifuku again confused her opponent for Kiryu and tried to pin her when she wasn’t the legal woman. The real Kiryu tried to capitalize but Kamifuku fought back and correctly pinned her with the Famouser. She can’t explain how she confused Sekiguchi for Kiryu other than they started looking more alike to her as the match progressed. Kamifuku will next meet Kong on opposing teams for Kong’s 40th Anniversary show. Kong said the “fake Mahiro” will be there too. She would have also booked the real one if she had the Iron Man Heavymetalweight Title but without it, Kong has zero interest in Mahiro Kiryu because she’s useless.

Golden Week is a very busy time in Japan which was proven when Pom Harajuku led a train attack in her match and called it “Golden Week Traffic Jam”. She also used her loud screaming stop Mei Suruga from doing a rope walk move on Yuki Aino. Suruga then didn’t know what to do when Raku laid down in the ring and started to sulk instead of nap. She got better when Suruga lied down next to her and patted her on the head in apology. The three gremlin sisters then went crazy on Love Triangle until Harajuku took off her shoes and tried to fight off Mizuki with them. Mizuki took the shoes off her and then accidentally threw them into the audience while fighting with Aino. Harajuku got a replacement pair from Raku but Mizuki ended up throwing those away too. She then beat Takami with the Diving Foot Stomp after getting some help with Takami. Suruga told Mizuki afterwards that today was the first time they’ve teamed up in eight years! The two of them told Takami she needs to become as bold as they are.

YuuRI was back in TJPW and started off her match facing against Chika Nanase. When it was Shino Suzuki’s turn to get involved, she took Wakana Uehara sightseeing around the ring. Kira Summer breaking up Nanase’s pin on Uehara caused all six wrestlers to get in and start fighting. Suzuki got rid of Summer with the Belly-To-Belly Suplex. She & HIMAWARI then got YuuRI with a Spear/Neckbreaker combo. Nanase tried to finish off Uehara by herself but Uehara turned things around and won with the Sushi Tornado.

In the opening match the two rookies Ren Konatsu and Shion Kanzaki faced each other once again. Konatsu came out on top this time by using a new submission move to win. She put Kanzaki in the Rings Of Saturn to win and it was later named the Shoulder Bites (maybe because the move was also once called the Batista Bite?).

When the show began Rise Shirai introduced everyone to Momo Sato, confirming that the idol has officially become a trainee for TJPW like she said she would back in March. Sato is the younger sister of DDT wrestler Daichi Sato and has spent time in the wrestling ring before doing stuff for HEAT-UP. Since then she became an idol with Harajuku Gakuen and was scouted by Sanshiro Takagi to give TJPW a go. Sato greeted the fans and told them she will do her best to make her debut. On a sidenote, this news comes shortly after a now former trainee was seen working ringside duties at a Marigold show over the weekend. Anri was the trainee who was meant to debut alongside Shion Kanzaki back in January but it was called off when she wasn’t considered to be in the right condition to debut yet. I hadn’t heard anything about her ever since that announcement came out. Then very recently there was a Rossy Ogawa interview where he revealed Marigold will soon have a new rookie who was originally supposed to debut somewhere else. A few Japanese fans on Twitter were quick to recognise Anri at ringside at Marigold and now things are starting to clear up a little bit. I don’t see any harm or foul over it. Every wrestling company has trainees who come, go and then debut somewhere else for whatever reason. TJPW is no exception and have been accused of committing similar actions in the past. Also while we’re here is the other trainee Yuuka still around? I never notice what trainees are working ringside duties until social media points it out.

The 7th June show will have MIRAI returning to wrestle and also Sumire Uesaka appearing as a guest commentator. As far as I know Uesaka is still the Iron Man Champion after winning it back at “GRAND PRINCESS ’26”.

TJPW is collaborating with the Tokyo Idol Festival to hold matches during the TIF ASIA Tour being held in Odaiba this summer. The matches will be held on 31sy July, 1st August and 3rd August.

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

1. Ren Konatsu Vs Shion Kanzaki
2. YuuRI, Wakana Uehara & Kira Summer Vs HIMAWARI, Shino Suzuki & Chika Nanase

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

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

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

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

You want Baka Gaijin + Friends to get weird, here you go.

I got to watch Super P wrestle at the Spark show last weekend. She’s always looking to make new friends.

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “TJPW INSPIRATION” Results

April 18, 2026

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “TJPW INSPIRATION”, 18/04/2026
TOKYO SQUARE In Itabashi
222 Fans – Super No Vacancy Full House

1. Kakeru Sekiguchi & Mahiro Kiryu defeated Kira Summer & Chika Nanase when Kiryu pinned Nanase with the Spinebuster (11:25).
2. Mifu Ashida defeated Papillon Akemi with the German Suplex (12:34).
3. Mei Suruga defeated Ren Konatsu with the Gâteau Invisible (11:08).
4. Arisu Endo & Haru Kazashiro defeated Rika Tatsumi & Shion Kanzaki when Endo pinned Kanzaki with the Ju no Okite (18:32).

While the majority of the Tokyo Joshi Pro roster went over to America, those who remained in Japan held their own show, the next edition of the “TJPW INSPIRATION” series of shorter wrestling events that are a little bit different than usual. In the main event Rika Tatsumi took a break to go get food for herself & Shion Kanzaki. They also force fed their opponents with the food. Arisu Endo & Haru Kazashiro launched a successful comeback with Kazashiro diving onto the other team and Endo then finishing off Kanzaki with the Ju no Okite. After the match, Kazashiro sent out a message of thanks to Suzume for successfully defending the International Princess Title in America. She owes so much of her career to Suzume which is why she wanted her to be the champion for her 4th May title shot. Endo then announced that she wants to be the next person to challenge Yuki Arai for the Princess Of Princess Title! She actually called Arai backstage after the show to challenge her directly after figuring out it was 10pm over in Las Vegas so she should still be awake. Arai answered the call, confirmed she watched the show on Wrestle Universe and accepted Arai’s challenge!

Last year Mei Suruga and Ren Konatsu got to wrestle each other in a tag match at “WRESTLE PRINCESS VI” but today was their first singles match against each other. Suruga refused to shake Konatsu’s hand before the match and then got into a pose-off to see who is cuter. She then clipped off the toy sheep from Konatsu’s belt to taunt her further. Konatsu tried to fight back but missed the Aries Comet, allowing Suruga to trap her in the Gâteau Invisible and make her tap out. Suruga said she had so much fun today and was bursting with motivation because whenever the TJPW roster travels overseas, it feels like Japan is left entrusted to wrestlers like herself. She thinks Konatsu has a lot of room for growth so she hopes they can wrestle each other more and more. She is also excited to form “The Ultimate Sister Trio” of herself, Mizuki & Uta Takami at the 4th May Korakuen Hall show. Konatsu said she aimed to bite the “big apple” right down to her core but instead it was herself who was eaten alive today.

Mifu Ashida’s cheerleading talents convinced Papillon Akemi to give it a go during their match. It eventually became a distraction so they went back to wrestling each other. Akemi lost focus and became vulnerable to Ashida doing the German Suplex to get the victory.

Twin magic prevailed in the opener! Kakeru Sekiguchi & Mahiro Kiryu kept finding ways to use their similar likenesses in order to confuse Kira Summer & Chika Nanase into forgetting who was who. Not every plan worked but the confusion led to Nanase accidentally knocking down Summer with a missed attack. Sekiguchi then sent Nanase into Kiryu’s way for the Spinebuster to end the match.

You ever had a holiday thay you enjoyed so much that you went back the next year only to suffer from diminishing returns? That feels like the story of Tokyo Joshi Pro coming back to Las Vegas during WrestleMania Week for the second year in a row. A combination of much higher ticket prices, a WrestleMania that is attracting far less travelling fans than usual for numerous reasons, an earlier slot in the week (Thursday morning instead of Friday morning) and how late it took for the show to be announced resulted in only 424 fans coming out to the Pearl Theater compared to last year’s number of 812 fans. And even then I’m sceptical that 424 is the genuine number. Being there in the building there ended up being two groups of fans, those in the front rows and those sitting up in the back. In between that was a no man’s land swathe of almost entirely empty seats. When it was time for the semi-main event, security allowed everyone at the back to move down to closer roads just so the crowd could be seen on camera for the broadcast. They did the same thing for the CMLL show that took place afterwards but made that decision at the start of the show.

In the main event Yuki Arai successfully retained the Princess Of Princess Title in her first defence. Her American challenger J-Rod got close to winning when she hit the Ultimate Spear but Arai grabbed the ropes to break the pin at the last second. J-Rod lost her focus and argued with the referee before running into Arai’s Big Boot and getting sent shoulder first in between the turnbuckles. Arai then found the power to give J-Rod the Full Nelson Buster before pinning her with the Finally. After the match Arai told J-Rod how happy she for getting to meet her and she loves her. J-Rod shook Arai’s hand and said she loves her too, just don’t forget she still wants to win the title. Arai suggested they form a Blue and White tag team together the next time they see each other. She also told fans TJPW will come back to America again.

The IInspiration are still the Princess Tag Team Champions after they fought through Kyoraku Kyomei’s shenanigans. Hyper Misao kept her pre-match speech short so she & Shoko Nakajima could quickly go on the attack. Jessie McKay & Cassie Lee were rolled up into the ring apron together but made their escape and took everything the challengers threw at them. They were able to take Misao out of the running and then pin Nakajima with the Idolizer. Misao admitted that Kyoraku Kyomei were thrown off their game despite being TJPW’s trickiest tag team. They feel embarrased because they gave The IInspiration so much trash talk leading up to the match. Later backstage The IInspiration called themselves fighting champions who will next defend the belts at the 4th May Korakuen Hall show. Miu Watanabe approached them and introduced herself. She told The IInspiration that Rika Tatsumi would like to meet them so they should look forward to defending the titles against Daydream at Korakuen.

It was a clean sweep of title defences across the board, starting with Suzume beating Sakura Hattori to remain the International Princess Champion. Hattori almost overwhelmed Suzume with her ninja techniques but showed a glimmer of her own self when she decided to attempt Kaya Toribami’s finishing move, the Sento Choryu. It turned out to be her fatal mistake in the match because first she slipped off the rope and then when she pulled off the move, Suzume dodged it. Hattori switched back to her ninja moves but by that point the momentum was shifting and Suzume pinned her with the Ring A Bell. Suzume said the experience of defending the IP Title in Vegas two years in a row reaffirms her desire to take the championship around the world. Hattori said she will always have her sights set on the IP Title, no matter who is the champion.

In the battle between TJPW’s three most dominant monsters princesses ever, Miyu Yamashita stood tall as the most powerful monster princess! She ran around kicking Mizuki and Watanabe all over the ring as well as the stage while Mizuki did her big Diving Foot Stomp jumps off the ramp. Both of them tried to grab onto anything for dear life whenever Watanabe tried to put them in the Giant Swing. Mizuki flubbed the Whirling Candy but was able to get Watanabe with it on the second attempt. Watanabe also got hit with the Skull Kick. Mizuki tried to capitalise by giving Yamashita the Cutie Special and then land the Diving Foot Stomp onto Watanabe. But Yamashita broke the pin and nailed Mizuki with the Crash Rabbit Heat to win.

The Love Triangle brought out a giant dice to use in their trios match. Pom Harajuku gave it a roll and got the number three, so he attacked HIMAWARI three times. HIMAWARI then rolled it and got a six, then found out it meant Harajuku could attack her six times. Alexis Lee found a way to stop Raku from doing Poppo Chops by simply biting her arm. Shino Suzuki rolled the dice only to score a one but HIMAWARI grabbed Harajuku so Suzuki could hit her as much as she wanted. Suzuki didn’t have the same luck against Yuki Aino though. Aino got the better of her and won the match with the Venus DDT.

Wakana Uehara achieved two big wins today. The first was from Ober Eats beating Toga & Uta Takami in the opening bout. The other happened later that night when Uehara demolished an Octuple Bypass burger at the Heart Attack Grill in Fermont Street! I think Yuki Kamifuku was just happy to have scored the winning pinfall in the match and probably went somewhere else for dinner.

Guide To TJPW In Las Vegas… Again

April 15, 2026

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

1. Yuki Kamifuku & Wakana Uehara Vs Toga & Uta Takami
2. Yuki Aino, Raku & Pom Harajuku Vs Alexis Lee, HIMAWARI & Shino Suzuki
3. Special 3 Way Match: Miyu Yamashita Vs Mizuki Vs Miu Watanabe
4. International Princess Title: Suzume (c) Vs Sakura Hattori
5. Princess Tag Team Titles: Jessie McKay & Cassie Lee (c) Vs Shoko Nakajima & Hyper Misao
6. Princess Of Princess Title: Yuki Arai (c) Vs J-Rod

Thanks to some business dealings by TKO that has sort of come back to bite WWE in the backside, Tokyo Joshi Pro are running a WrestleMania Week show in Las Vegas for the second year in a row. Is there an alternate timeline where this would be happening in New Orleans instead? Probably, but money talks and Vegas is full with it. What’s noteworthy regarding this year is that TJPW is no longer working with GCW and The Collective in putting this show together. Instead they are part of a block of events called Slam Fest that also has Stardom, CMLL, House Of Glory and Maple Leaf Pro involved. Also DDT has not joined the journey over to America with TJPW. As you are reading this, they are still running shows back in Japan but it’s pretty obvious by now that CyberFight sees TJPW as the brand with the biggest potential to become successful in overseas markets like North America. For their return to Vegas they have put together a relevant card that follows up from their recent tours of Texas and Vancouver. If you need need to freshen up on the product you really only need to pay attention to those shows as well as last month’s Sumo Hall show to get all caught up on what’s happening here. So if you’re new to the world of TJPW, an existing fan wanting to read up on everything or even a commentator looking for context beyond a Wikipedia page (*cough, cough*), this guide is intended for you!

Where and when are the shows taking place?

The show will be held at the Pearl Theater found inside Palms Casino Resort in Las Vegas on Thursday, 16th April at 11am local time.

Where can I watch it online?

It will air live on Triller TV with English commentary for $19.99 by itself. There are also bundled deals that include the show available for either $44.99 (the Thursday package of TJPW, CMLL & House Of Glory) or $59.99 (the entire two day Slam Fest package). The on-demand version of the show will be available to watch on Wrestle Universe a couple of weeks after the live broadcast.

Is this a proper TJPW show?

Yes for the most part. On paper it is not the same full blown experience that TJPW provided Las Vegas last year. However they are still providing all three championship matches that have all have build up behind them. It’s an unusual situation this year because TJPW are promoting shows outside of Japan more than ever and a lot of the title builds took place on those international shows that took place in North America. So you could take the odd path of only watching the Texas tour, the big “GRAND PRINCESS ’26” show at Sumo Hall and the recent Vancouver tour to get all caught up on the major matches for this card.


1. Yuki Kamifuku & Wakana Uehara Vs Toga & Uta Takami

The show opens up with one of the mainstay tag teams Ober Eats facing two wrestlers from TJPW’s so-called “Next Generation”. Ober Eats are coming off of a lengthy stay at the top of the tag team division, having become the only reigning champions to win the annual Max Heart Tournament. After recently being knocked off their perch, Yuki Kamifuku & Wakana Uehara agreed to start moving in separate directions but they are still going to team from time to time on shows like this one. Uta Takami is on the upswing after reaching the final of the Max Heart Tournament. She’s only teamed with Toga a handful of times though so this mismatch pairing has some work to do to beat the former tag champs.

Yuki Kamifuku – Also known by her nickname Kamiyu, she is “The Casual Beauty” of TJPW. Grew up in Ohio during her junior high school years so she is the most fluent English speaker out of the Japanese roster. She knows how to get under her opponent’s skin with harsh and catty opinions but there is another side to her where she is loyal and sympathetic to her friends. She is also proud of her modelling background because her accomplishments in the ring is proof that you don’t need to be a die hard pro wrestling fan to succeed in the business.
Moves To Watch Out For: Famouser (Jumping Leg Drop to a bent over opponent), Big Boot, Yahoo 83cm (Headscissors DDT), Manjigatame, Thumb To The Eye

Wakana Uehara – The big eater entered wrestling through a reality series TJPW held for idols and was the only participant to take the path towards turning pro. Ever since she formed Ober Eats with Kamifuku, she learned to come out out of her shell and has taken on some of Kamifuku’s more confident personality traits to make them into her own. One can only imagine the victory meal she’ll have in Vegas to celebrate!
Moves To Watch Out For: Banana Pillow (Triangle Lancer), Sushi Tornado (Sister Abigail variation), Space Rolling Elbow, High Speed Brainbuster

Toga – I can’t say for sure if ice runs through her veins but if you’re looking for somebody cool, calm and collective in the ring then Toga is your girl. In a place filled with colorful personalities, Toga’s way of standing out is to smash opponents in the face with an almighty Elbow Strike. The last year has seen her start to stretch out a little bit, moving on from tag team wrestling to search for success on her own. She has also taken the initiative to take part in a match somewhere else during Mania Week, as you will see at the bottom of this guide.
Moves To Watch Out For: Absolute Zero (Rock Bottom), Elbow Butt, Rolling Thunder, Fall Away Slam

Uta Takami – Here is the first member of The Up Up Girls (Pro Wrestling) to appear on the show. The Up Up Girls are a pop idol group that collaborated with TJPW to create a pro wrestling spin-off stable. TJPW’s version of the act always perform a song or two at the beginning of the shows before competing in matches later on. Takami is the troublemaker of the bunch, bringing along a bratty little sister energy into her matches with a frantic wrestling style. She is currently among the youngest wrestlers on the roster but this year her potential upside has shot through the roof with a strong tag team tournament record. If you like Mei Suruga then Uta Takami will fit into your wrestling tastes as snug as a bug.
Moves To Watch Out For: Koala Clutch (Body Lock Cobra Clutch), Pendulum Dropkick, Missile Dropkick


2. Yuki Aino, Raku & Pom Harajuku Vs Alexis Lee, HIMAWARI & Shino Suzuki

It’s the Love Triangle taking on Bumping gRitters plus a friend from Singapore. One of the strongest bonds in TJPW is the one that connects Yuki Aino, Raku & Pom Harajuku together. They are all so close to each other that Love Triangle is the most fittest name to give them. HIMAWARI & Shino Suzuki make up the Bumping gRitters, a name they came up with because they want to fight gritty and shine like glitter at the same time. Alexis Lee from Singapore Pro Wrestling is the third woman on their team and has a packed schedule in Vegas ahead of her this week.

Yuki Aino – At one time Yuki Aino was simply a ring announcer for TJPW who became a pro wrestler in order to team up with her sister (the now retired Nodoka Tenma). Tag team wrestling has been her forte and Aino usually finds her way back there whenever her attempts to go solo don’t go to plan. Her love of Tokusatsu TV shows have been a key part of her finding relevance in the company this year but on this show she is back teaming with some old flames. She can be as stubborn as they come and on her best days will hit you like a firetruck fueled by love.
Moves To Watch Out For: Venus DDT (Inverted DDT), UBV/Unlimited Burning Venus (Double Arm Side Buster), Full Nelson Of Love And Fire (Full Nelson Camel Clutch), Side Suplex

Raku – The second member of The Up Up Girls, Raku’s entire personality can be summed down to naps and trains. She knows so much railway trivia that on every TJPW show she will tell the audience what the Train Of The Day is. Raku’s moveset is built around sending her opponents to sleep so she can run over them with the Oyasumi Express. She is also sometimes armed with a pillow. Mix that all together and you get a total package that has made her absolutely adored by fans and the roster alike.
Moves To Watch Out For: Doctor Yellow (Jumping Neckbreaker), Hurricane Turn (Cross-Arm Backslide Pin), Oyasumi/Good Night Express (running on top of the opponent over and over), Good Night Sleeper, Poppo Chop! (Brain Chop)

Pom Harajuku – Bright and colorful costumes, loud screaming and a lot of shin kicking. Pom Harajuku’s fighting style can be compared to a three year old throwing a temper tantrum. What she lacks in traditional pro wrestling strength, she makes up for with creativity and outside the box thinking. If she thinks disguising herself as a turnbuckle, hiding her opponent’s house keys inside a gacha capsule machine or constructing her own Tesla will help her win the match then she will find a way to turn those ideas into a reality.
Moves To Watch Out For: Pom de Justice (Step-Up Guillotine Leg Drop), Laforet Harajuku (Satellite Headscissors), Shin Kick, Denden Taiko (beating the opponent’s chest like a drum)

Alexis Lee – The skeleton from Singapore is regularly seen as an opponent for TJPW wrestlers when they go to wrestle around Southeast Asia. She gets appear in TJPW once or twice a year and returns again as part of what I think is her debut tour in America. Just be careful around her when drinks are around. “Skelly” can drink anybody under the table.
Moves To Watch Out For: No Lee Way (Running Double Knee Attack), Sister Abigail, Biting

HIMAWARI – Bright and cheerful like a sunflower but it’s the kind of sunflower that can use Vine Whip. She claims to have never gotten her long hair cut since she was born and she likes to use her braids as whips against her opponents. She has a background in musicals and stage acting which explains how she is up there as one of the most expressive of wrestlers in TJPW. She often gets to take part in overseas bookings but her win-loss record when it comes to these ventures needs some improvement.
Moves To Watch Out For: Sunflower Tempest (Floatover Jackhammer), Princess Drop (Princess Carry into Pumphandle Drop style slam), Half Crab Hold, Hair Whip

Shino Suzuki – Now we’re up to member No. 3 of The Up Up Girls. Shino Suzuki is one of the newer members of the groups. She is nicknamed “She Know” because she worked as a tour guide before becoming an idol and pro wrestler. While currently low on the totem pole in TJPW, she will display gutsy performances along with her wealth of tourism knowledge. The downside to this is the competitive atmosphere often turns her into a ball of anxiety and half of her battles is trying to get past that while the match goes on.
Moves To Watch Out For: Belly-To-Belly Suplex, Sleeper Hold, Backward Rolling Cradle, Swinging Neckbreaker


3. Special 3 Way Match: Miyu Yamashita Vs Mizuki Vs Miu Watanabe

Simply put, the three strongest and most decorated wrestlers in TJPW are thrown into the ring all against each other. I could go on all day listing the combined accomplishments of Miyu Yamashita, Mizuki and Miu Watanabe along with arguments for each over who should be seen as the ace of company. It would be fair to guess that whoever wins this match would qualify for No. 1 Contendership, if only there wasn’t the Tokyo Princess Cup coming up. This is odds on favorite to be the match of the show and maybe even a highlight of the entire week.

Miyu Yamashita – “The Pink Striker” has been part of TJPW since Day 1 of the company proper and has almost done it all when it comes to championship reigns, tournament wins and headlining important venues. She is currently the “Leader” of TJPW so her focus nowadays is to fly the flag for the company across the world. The Skull Kick she uses is one of the most deadliest looking finishers around and she enjoys finding opponents who can dish it out to her just as hard as she can dish it out to them.
Moves To Watch Out For: Skull Kick (Backspin High Kick to the head), Crash Rabbit Heat (Running Knee Kick), Attitude Adjustment, Return Crash (Triangle Kick off the turnbuckles)

Mizuki – Although she didn’t start her wrestling career in TJPW, Mizuki has established herself as one of the company’s all time best with multiple championship reigns and important main events to her name. One of the most photogenic wrestlers going today, she constantly goes viral on social media for using moves that leave those who see them locked in a state of awe and inspiration. She doesn’t understand what U3+4 means but she is the closest pro wrestling will ever get to creating a real life Lili from Tekken. Don’t trust that mischievous smile of hers, she is vicious when she wants to be. “The Popping Sugar Rabbit” may sound like a silly nickname but we’ll see who’s laughing when Mizuki is Double Stomping the guts out of her opponents.
Moves To Watch Out For: Cutie Special (Bridging Fall Away Slam), Whirling Candy (Spinning Cross Body Block), Diving Foot Stomp, Face Lock

Miu Watanabe – Last but definitely not least, Miu Watanabe is the final member of The Up Up Girls you will see in action. There are two things she loves most in life: Idols and Pro Wrestling! Always full of energy, Watanabe uses big hand gestures to spell out L-O-V-E along with her theme song during her entrances. She also knows various ways to throw people around with the Giant Swing and cave in chests with Double Sledge style strikes. Watanabe is coming off of a main event run that was so dominant that other wrestlers accused her of fighting more like a monster than a princess!
Moves To Watch Out For: Tear Drop (Modified Flapjack), Reverse Paradox (Gorilla Clutch), Laserbeam (Overhand Chop to the chest), Giant Swing, Canadian Backbreaker, Swinging Backbreaker


4. International Princess Title: Suzume (c) Vs Sakura Hattori

The first of three championship matches on the card. Suzume recently won the International Princess Title for the second time and wants to live up to the championship’s intended identity of being defended overseas. She received her first challenge via ninja scroll, which is a new one in my books. Sakura Hattori recently transformed from a masked bird to dangerous ninja and has been reaping the benefits under her new persona. She doesn’t need to hide in the shadows when they get to Vegas, her confidence is at an all time high.

Suzume – As swift as a wasp and just as sharp. She begun her career as a fast learner, only spending seven months in training before making her pro debut. Just based on her aesthetic alone it is of no surprise that speed is the name of her game. It’s served Suzume well because she became the International Princess Champion for the second time this year. It is a belt that has become her greatest treasure but she holds it at a time when a new generation of challengers are growing stronger all around her.
Moves To Watch Out For: Ring A Bell (RKO), Spring Ring A Bell (Oscutter), Mikazuki Meteor Shower (Diving Cross Body), Twinkle (Twisting School Boy), Flying Facecrusher

Sakura Hattori – There was once a masked wrestler named Kaya Toribami. She was a bird and was well liked by everyone but when it came to finding success in the ring it was lacking for her. Turns out having a cassowary gimmick wasn’t the golden ticket to getting a push. So Toribami travelled to Iga City to train under a ninja master but while she was there she discovered a haunted faceguard that sent her into a trance. When she returned she announced she would be moving on from Kaya Toribami to become a ninja called Sakura Hattori. The personality change has worked out for her so far, being unbeaten in singles matches and only suffering one pinfall loss thanks to Suzume. Her moveset has become more aggressive with the change but also more performative. She really needs to learn how to do the Nine Seal hand signals quicker before hitting her moves because they noticeably slow her down.
Moves To Watch Out For: Shinden Fudo Ryu Majime Ura (Kata-Gatame style Shoulder Lock), Rakkateicho (Flying Forearm Strike from the top rope set up with the Nine Hand Seals), Backflip Kick


5. Princess Tag Team Titles: Jessie McKay & Cassie Lee (c) Vs Shoko Nakajima & Hyper Misao

TJPW’s tag division has been thrown out of whack thanks to The IInspiration. The Australian tag team struck gold by becoming the only pair in history to win tag team championships in WWE, TNA and TJPW. After knocking down Ober Eats for the belts, it has cleared the table for challengers previously beaten by Ober Eats to start making challenges again. First up is Kyoraku Kyomei, one of the longest serving TJPW teams still going with previous success together under their belts. The IInspiration have seen a lot in their careers but have they ever fought a team consisting of a superhero and kaiju before?

Jessie McKay – Formerly known as Billie Kay in WWE but she has experience that goes back to Shimmer in the early 2010s. Eventually found success in WWE when she formed The IIconics and it followed her over to TNA for a little bit too. Yeah… I got nothing else. A lot of people thought that time she shouted “Hey, Kayla” out loud was funny, I guess.
Moves To Watch Out For: The IIdolizer (Inverted Magic Killer), Pedigree, Codebreaker

Cassie Lee – The former KC Cassidy and Peyton Royce took a different path than her tag partner, travelling over to Canada so she could learn from Lance Storm. Hit a road block in WWE when she tried seperating from McKay to go into singles wrestling but things just didn’t work out for the both of them. If the team did anything interesting in TNA outside of their title wins then I don’t know about it.
Moves To Watch Out For: The IIdolizer (Inverted Magic Killer), Blue Thunder Bomb, Twist Of Fate

Shoko Nakajima – Meet the Big Kaiju, all 147cm of her! Shoko Nakajima has pretty much done it all in TJPW as one of the promotion’s longest serving wrestlers. Usually relying on quick reflexes, she also has the strength to put away opponents with the Northern Lights Suplex or the Diving Senton. When put in Hardcore Match situations her favorite weapon of choice is a pile of kaiju toys that she slams her opponents onto. She’s a Swiss Army Knife that can adapt to any kind of situation wrestling can throw at her. That’s helpful when her tag team partner comes up with crazy ideas on a regular basis.
Moves To Watch Out For: Northern Lights Suplex, Diving Senton, Unmanned Local Train Hold (Yurikamome submission hold), 619, Rider Kick (One-Legged Dropkick)

Hyper Misao – When love and peace is under threat in TJPW, you can always rely on Hyper Misao to come to the rescue. Just be aware that her plans to save the world are never as heroic as intended. She often gets on the microphone to greet everyone with “Hello big children” before explaining her plan to save the day. Of course by being a superhero that means she has her own Hypami Combat Bike. She likes to crash it into her opponents along with any unfortunate bystander who happens to be nearby. She also blinds opponents with her Hero Correction Spray. Deep down inside Misao is a multi-layered human being with infinite potential that if harvested correctly could turn her into a very powerful wrestler. But why go through all that baggage when you can just wear a cool mask and cheat like hell instead?
Moves To Watch Out For: Hypami Returns (Final Cut), I Am A Hero (Diving Cross Body), Crossface Chickenwing, Vanitas (Double Arm Facebuster), Cold Spray Attack


6. Princess Of Princess Title: Yuki Arai (c) Vs J-Rod

So TJPW has finally gone ahead and put Yuki Arai on top of the mountain when she won the Princess Of Princess Title in Sumo Hall last month. Now the hard work begins because she isn’t going to be wrestling Miu Watanabe over and over anymore. Her first challenger is a tough one. TJPW chose one of their regular American guests J-Rod to face her and she is getting the home field advantage too. J-Rod wants to make history by becoming the first American wrestler to win the Princess Title. She failed to do it once before but does she have the better odds this time against a less powerful champion who is kind of still learning on the job?

Yuki Arai – The day finally came for TJPW’s chosen one when she became the brand new Princess Champion last month. Arai was once a pop idol from the group SKE48 and when she became a pro wrestler she juggled both careers at the same time. She eventually made the decision to leave music behind so she could dedicate herself full time to pro wrestling. It paid off in spades for her as she has become the latest wrestler to achieve the TJPW Grand Slam (which is only held by two other wrestlers). With that being said, she still needs the right dance partner in some situations so it remains to be seen if this title reign requires on the job training, so to speak. She also unintentionally associates herself with France because of her blue, white and red colour scheme. She really likes include the French Tricolor in her tweets.
Moves To Watch Out For: Finally (Heel Drop axe kick), Scorpion Death Lock, Rookie Award (Pump Kick to a kneeling opponent), Full Nelson Buster

J-Rod – The “Ultimate Athlete” will soon be appearing on your screens as Supernova in the latest reboot of American Gladiators. Other than that you will usually find her wrestling in Ohio Valley Wrestling and more recently Juggalo Championship Wrestling. A powerhouse on the level that only Miu Watanabe can match in TJPW, J-Rod has done several tours with the promotion in Japan and one tour in Canada. Yet this will be her first time wrestling on an American TJPW show. It’s only fitting that her match is about whether or not she can become the first American Princess Champion.
Moves To Watch Out For: Ultimate Spear, Samoan Drop, Side Slam, Fall Away Slam

———————————————————————–

There are a few other shows where you will find TJPW wrestlers in action this year. They also have different meet and greets going on at Slam Fest and Wrestlecon but I’m just going to focus on the matches here.


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

1. International Tag Team Match: Amira & Lil Marz Vs Toga & Jazzy Yang

The first place you can find a TJPW wrestler in action will be at the annual “PODERMANIA~!” women’s wrestling show where Toga is teaming up with Jazzy Yang, the daughter of former WCW and WWE wrestler Jimmy Yang. One of their opponents Amira just took part in TJPW’s Vancouver tour while Australian wrestler Lil Marz is finishing up a stay in Europe to take part in this show.


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

1. Miyu Yamashita Vs Janai Kai

Despite her martial arts background, Yamashita’s appearances in GCW’s Bloodsport spin-off have seen her on the losing end both times with high profile losses to Shayna Bazsler and Nattie Neidhart. Third time may be the charm but she has a poor singles record against Janai Kai too whenever they face each other in a more normal pro wrestling environment.


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

1. Special Single Match: Taniya Vs Miu Watanabe

Unless something else gets announced, the last TJPW related match to look forward to in Vegas is Miu Watanabe taking on Taniya at one of the PrideStyle shows. Taniya holds the promotion’s women’s title but this has not been advertised as a title match.

TJPW’s Upcoming International Lineups

April 2, 2026

Some of these lineups were already posted yesterday but given that we finally have the Vancouver matches announced I figure it would be good to do an roundup for Tokyo Joshi Pro’s upcoming overseas shows.

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “VANCOUVER PREMIERE – DAY 1”, 11/04/2026
Great Canadian Hastings Racecourse & Casino, Vancouver, BC, Canada

1. Suzume Vs Alexia Nicole

6. Yuki Arai & Wakana Uehara Vs J-Rod & Miu Watanabe

The cards for next week’s Vancouver tour are now out. The two main events will build up the Yuki Arai versus J-Rod match happening in Las Vegas a couple of days later. There are also some guest faces old and new appearing. Amira has wrestled on several of TJPW’s American shows in the past, the ones that were co-promoted with local companies like Prestige and DEFY. Same with Liiza Hall on a smaller level. Alicia Nicole is making her first TJPW appearance here.

3. Miu Watanabe Vs Cherry Blossom
4. Liiza Hall & Uta Takami Vs Raku & Pom Harajuku
5. Yuki Kamifuku Vs Kristara
6. Yuki Arai & Suzume Vs J-Rod & Sakura Hattori

Nicole Matthews is one of Miyu Yamashita’s regular opponents from her previous tours of Canada so it’s fitting that they will have a quick program going on in this Vancouver tour. Kristara and Cherry Blossom (what a fitting name to have on the show at this time of year) are the newcomers showing up on Night 2.

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

1. Yuki Kamifuku & Wakana Uehara Vs Toga & Uta Takami
2. Yuki Aino, Raku & Pom Harajuku Vs Alexis Lee, HIMAWARI & Shino Suzuki
3. Special 3 Way Match: Miyu Yamashita Vs Mizuki Vs Miu Watanabe
4. International Princess Title: Suzume (c) Vs Sakura Hattori
5. Princess Tag Team Titles: Jessie McKay & Cassie Lee (c) Vs Shoko Nakajima & Hyper Misao
6. Princess Of Princess Title: Yuki Arai (c) Vs J-Rod

When J-Rod has been over in Japan, she’s been friendly towards Arai. It kind of helps that they haven’t wrestled each other before. But with a big title match happening in Las Vegas soon, J-Rod wants to become the first American Princess Of Princess Champion. With that being said, she also wants to teach Arai the lesson that pro wrestling is not a fairy tale or a place to have dreams. Arai believes that those who have dreams are strong and when they have something to protect like a championship, they are even stronger.

Kyoraku Kyomei are betting on themselves to be the heroes that take the Princess Tag Team Titles back from The IInspiration. On the one hand, Hyper Misao thinks it will be a fun story for a team like them to beat a team of gorgeous champions. Shoko Nakajima however wants to reinforce that her team are fighting their hearts out while Jessie McKay & Cassie Lee seem to be taking everything lightly during their appearances in TJPW so far. Lee claims that she and McKay are fighting champions who will carve out their own history in TJPW.

Shortly after Suzume won the International Princess Title she was given a scroll by Sakura Hattori challenging her to a title shot. Hattori has since sent another scroll explaining that she has made Suzume her next target and she will take the title from her in Las Vegas. Suzume said she loves fighting Kaya Toribami but doesn’t know anything about her new form. One thing she has noticed though is Toribami would not have challenged her as quickly as Hattori is doing. Suzume also wonders if Hattori is a ninja, does that mean she’s always hiding nearby listening in on her?

EVE/TOKYO JOSHI PRO “EVE X TJPW”, 25/04/2026
Big Penny Social, London, England

1. EVE International Title Next Contender Tournament – Round 1: Shoko Nakajima Vs Hollie Barlow
2. EVE International Title Next Contender Tournament – Round 1: Miyu Yamashita Vs Aliss Ink
3. EVE International Title Next Contender Tournament – Final: X Vs X

There were hints made by EVE that some familiar friends were coming over to England at the end of April. We now know it’s the follow up to the EVE x TJPW that took place back in the summer of 2024. Yamashita and Nakajima will be taking part in a tournament to determine a future challenger for the EVE International Title. Yamashita gets to fight another striker in the form of Aliss Ink while Nakajima is going to pick on somebody her own size for once when she faces Hollie Barlow.

Hyper Misao and Yuki Aino will also be making the trip over to London.

SAJ/TOKYO JOSHI PRO “SAJ X TJPW”, 26/04/2026
Centro Sport Cesate, Milan, Italy

1. Mirko Mori, Nico Inverardi & Adriano Vs Goro, Merak & Spencer
2. Shoko Nakajima Vs Kanji
3. Sebastian De Witt Vs Miyu Yamashita
4. SAJ Openweight Title: Lupo (c) Vs Kouga

The same crew heads over to Milan the next day joined by a straggler from NOAH. Yamashita is unbeaten in SAJ Wrestling and was meant to get a title match only. However the champion Sebastian De Witt lost the belt a few weeks ago so there goes Yamashita’s chance at winning some Italian gold. Instead Kouga, the former Yu Owada/Owadasan is getting the title shot instead. Away from that corner of the show, Nakajima and Kanji cross paths again after being on the same international team together in CMLL last October.

DDT “O HANAMI PRO WRESTLING 2026 ~BEER GARDEN PRO WRESTLING BEGINS AGAIN THIS YEAR~”, 09/04/2026

6. KING OF DRUNK 2026 Opening Round: Chris Brookes Vs HARASHIMA Vs Kazuma Sumi Vs KANON Vs Yuki Iino Vs Rukiya

Beer Garden not only brings back the King Of Drunk tournament for another year but there is also a Nautilus reunion happening on the show too! Yuki Ueno & Naomi Yoshimura will be properly teaming up for the first time since 2020. There’s been a multi-man match or two when they’ve been on the same side but an honest to God Nautilus match you’ll have to go back five and a half year or so to find the last one.

They grow up so fast. Yuni is becoming a college student but is still too young to legally drink so it’s a bit mean of DDT to have this match happen at a Beer Garden show. At least Junta Miyawaki is allowed to take part in the fun for his first Beer Garden show. Masami Inahata too, I think.

BASARA “BASARA 305 ~OSAKA HARUNO-JIN SUMINOE~”, 12/04/2026
Osaka Suminoe Maikon Hall

1. Takeru Inoue Vs Daichi Kazato
2. FUMA, Ryuichi Sekine & Kohei Kinoshita Vs Takumi Tsukamoto, Daiki Shimomura & Banana Senga
3. Trans-Am ★ Hiroshi, Gouma Ryu & Tsutomu Oosugi Vs Shuji Ishikawa, Minoru Fujita & Yasu Urano
4. Ryota Nakatsu Vs Isami Kodaka
5. Iron Fist Tag Team Titles: Takato Nakano & Masato Kamino (c) Vs SAGAT & Lil’ Kraken

It was only back in January when SAGAT & Lil’ Kraken challenged for the Iron Fist Tag Team Titles. They lost the match and had a crisis of confidence but quickly patched themselves up. When Aijin Tag won the titles, the Super Family pair jumped at the chance to ask for another shot. They’re being rewarded for being so bold but it may just be that Takato Nakano & Masato Kamino see them as an easy first defence.

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

1. International Princess Title: Suzume (c) Vs Sakura Hattori
2. Princess Tag Team Titles: Jessie McKay & Cassie Lee (c) Vs Shoko Nakajima & Hyper Misao
3. Princess Of Princess Title: Yuki Arai (c) Vs J-Rod

All three new champions coming out of Sumo Hall will be making their first defences at the Las Vegas show. It was already announced that J-Rod would get the Princess Title shot but instead of getting a rematch with Miu Watanabe, it will now be a first time singles match against Yuki Arai. J-Rod sent a message saying pro wrestling is not a fairy tale and she is ready to become the first American Princess Of Princess Champion on her own home soil. There is a chance that Arai and J-Rod will get a preliminary tag match against each other at one of the Vancouver shows but Tetsuya Koda has not made his decision yet.

Kyoraku Kyomei will be The IInspiration’s first challengers for the Princess Tag Team Titles. Both Shoko Nakajima & Hyper Misao like to gamble big whenever they visit Vegas. They also took it upon themselves to get the brand new tag title belts back in TJPW’s hands. Unfortunately Misao cannot confirm if there will be Dramatic Hypami bike in Las Vegas after the one in Texas fell apart. Jessie McKay & Cassie Lee showed concern for the roster after hearing the wrestlers had a troublesome trip back home to Japan from the Texas tour. However, they claim they were able to win the titles on just three hours sleep so how will Kyoraku Kyomei fare against them when they have the full eight hours in America?

Before Suzume can make it to Golden Week, she must survive fighting the ninja Sakura Hattori under the bright lights of Vegas! Hattori handed Suzume a scroll at Sumo Hall to tell her she wanted a title shot. Another scroll has since been sent telling Suzume to be prepared because Hattori is targeting her and can take the IP Title away in an instant! As we get towards the match, Hattori is sprinting through a singles match winning streak that’s been going on ever since her gimmick switch.

GANBARE☆PRO “HATAAGE 13TH ANNIVERSARY – MAD MAX 2026”, 29/04/2026
Tokyo Korakuen Hall

1. PSYCHO & Yuya Susumu Vs Shota Kawakami & Sentaro Motoshima
2. Moeka Haruhi Vs Ram Kaichow
3. YuuRI Vs Utami Hayashihita
4. Ken Ohka 25th Anniversary Match: Ken Ohka & Guts Ishijima Vs Masaaki Mochizuki & Ryota Nakatsu
5. Minoru Suzuki & Shuichiro Katsumura Vs Hideki “Shrek” Sekine & Akira Shoji
6. Spirit Of Ganbare World Tag Team Titles: Yumehito Imanari & Shinichiro Tominaga (c) Vs Takuya Wada & Tyson Maeguchi
7. Spirit Of Ganbare World Openweight Title: Mizuki Watase (c) Vs Keisuke Ishii

All of a sudden Ganbare☆Pro has a Korakuen Hall main event rematch that is three years in the making. Back in Mizuki Watase’s first reign as Spirit Of Ganbare World Champion he defeated Keisuke Ishii that was highly praised by those who took the time to watch it. Ishii won a No. 1 Contender tournament to set up the rematch and Watase wants it to be an even better fight than the first one!

Both Takuya Wada & Tyson Maeguchi have held the Spirit Of Ganbare Tag Team Titles in the past. In fact, Maeguchi was one of the first champions and Wada was one of the second champions. Together they might be the team that can beat Touchable for the belts. That would mean a lot to Maeguchi in particular because the physical championship belts did not exist when he was supposed to hold them.

I get how Minoru Suzuki & Shuichiro Katsumura against Hideki “Shrek” Sekine & Akira Shoji is meant to be the shooter match but I feel like this is going to be a coin flip over if it will be good or not.

All of these comedy matches Moeka Haruhi has been doing lately has lead her to this. She now has to face the Triple Six queen herself Ram Kaichow!

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

1. International Princess Title: Suzume (c) Vs Winner Of 5 Way Match

Suzume is noticing that many wrestlers in TJPW have been growing stronger lately, many of whom she hasn’t defend the title against before. She thinks there will definitely be plenty of first time matchups happening during this title reign.

10. Princess Of Princess Title: Yuki Arai defeated Miu Watanabe (c) with the Finally (21:20)
*Miu Watanabe fails in V5. Yuki Arai becomes the 17th Princess Of Princess Champion!

The largest turnout for a Tokyo Joshi Pro ever gathered together in Sumo Hall to see multiple new champions being crowned along with the coronation of Yuki Arai! After many weeks of back and forth tag matches with Miu Watanabe, Arai got to have the last word with a definitive victory to become the new Princess Of Princess Champion. Watanabe was able to block the Finally but did not expect Arai to follow it up with the Rookie Award. Watanabe hit back with a Batting Hammer swing only for Arai to respond again with a Big Boot followed by the Full Nelson Buster. While Arai was too hurt to make the pin there and then, she got into position to hit the Finally and pin Watanabe for the three count.

Arai received the brand new 3rd Generation Princess Title and thanked Watanabe for the match they just had. She convinced Watanabe to get back into the ring so Arai could talk about how much she aspired to be like her, from her debut match with her and all the time they spent training together ever since. Today is the start of another new day and Arai hopes she will fight Watanabe even more. This time it can be her who accepts Watanabe’s challenge for the title. Watanabe said she would like to see Arai hold the title for as long as she can but she is will still aim to become the champion again so she can hold the new belt. They will always friends who will fight for the rest of their lives. When Watanabe left, Arai thanked everyone on the show today for creating such a wonderful time. She thought a lot about what kind of champion she can be and has come up with an answer. She wants to be a champion who can dream and make those dreams come true with her friends. That dream is to make TJPW even bigger and more loved so they can hold a show at the Tokyo Dome! She admits it takes a lot of courage to say that which is why she is saying it in front of everybody. She wants to dream the biggest, most foolish dreams to show everybody the most unbelievable sights!

 

There was more said during Arai’s backstage comments after the show. She actually talked about a dream like this when she graduated from SKE48 a year ago but it was only in front of 300 people. By being able to dedicate 100% of her time to pro wrestling she has not only grown as a wrestler but has also come to enjoy pro wrestling more. Her first defence will be against J-Rod in Las Vegas next month. They’ve been friends during J-Rod’s tours of Japan but have never wrestled each other. She’s looking forward to fighting her in America and likes that they wear the same costume colours. Watanabe has conflicting feelings coming out of the match. She likes Arai but is worried that she may now start to hate her! She can’t explain what these feelings are. But even though she is no longer the Princess Champion, she will always be Miu-derella. She also seems to have attracted the attention of one of the outsiders today. But more on that later…

Ober Eats wanted to defend the Princess Tag Team Titles against a team more glamourous than them. Well, be careful what your ask for. The newly redesigned Princess Tag Titles now belong to The IInspiration! The challengers looked to be in trouble when Yuki Kamifuku gave them the Double Famouser. Things changed when Wakana Uehara tried to do the Sushi Tornado but Jessie McKay countered it into a Blue Thunder Bomb. Cassie Lee took Kamifuku out of the running with the Twist Of Fate, leaving Uehara all by herself. The IInspiration took advantage of the opening and used The IIdolizer on her to win the titles. Backstage Kamifuku thinks the moment they lost was when they saw The IInspiration walk out looking like they were dressed for a night out in Roppongi. She is annoyed that she lost the titles but looks forward to seeing what her next path will be. Uehara said she wants to win all of the championships, both single and tag team. Kamifuku advised her to reflect on today’s loss first and not to get greedy so quickly. Uehara doesn’t know what the future holds but she thanks everyone for supporting Ober Eats. The IInspiration said they were taken aback by how much heart their opponents showed but they’ve been teaming together for almost 20 years and are unbeatable with that kind of experience.

Every time MIRAI has been in an International Princess Title match this year she has brought along someone from Michinoku Pro to stand in her corner. That continued today with Hayato Jr. Fujita making an appearance! But by the end of the bout the spotlight was on Suzume for bringing the title back to TJPW. MIRAI hit her with some heavy Lariats along the way including one to counter a Diving Cross Body from the top rope after a weird looking standoff. Suzume’s use of the Ring A Bell made the difference, with the springboard version putting MIRAI down for the count. The two BeeStar wrestlers then embraced each other after the match. Backstage MIRAI talked about how often she would lose matches in TJPW and be left looking up at the lights. Today felt a little different because of how much she has grown since leaving TJPW. She definitely wants to fight Suzume again. Meanwhile Suzume said she is who she is today because of MIRAI and meeting her again reaffirmed her love for TJPW. Now that she has the IP Title again she wants to defend it against wrestlers from all over the world to make it a championship that everybody wants to fight for. However Sakura Hattori would find Suzume backstage and hand over a scroll to her. In it was a message declaring a challenge for a title match. Suzume accepted her challenge.

Before the intergender tag match could begin, Super Sasadango Machine had a PowerPoint Presentation to explain how he and Hyper Misao could beat Konosuke Takeshita & Yuka Sakazaki today. However the PowerPoint said they have no chance of winning because the married couple are superior to them in every aspect and have a perfectly harmonious relationship to boot. Instead, Sasadango figured the best plan was to have forced synchronization by getting the audience to speak out CyberFight’s corporate philosophy in unison. Misao then led the audience to chant the 2026 slogan for TJPW, “KAWAII! DREAM! STRONG! Pro wrestling that makes you look forward to tomorrow!” Sasadango also worked out that if you mixed their opponent’s names together, you would get Kohnosuke Sakazaki, the guitarist from The Alfee. Using that as inspiration the plan would be for Sasadango to immobilize Takeshita on the stage while Misao summons several wrestlers dressed like her to all beat Sakazaki in the ring. The final part of the plan would be for Misao to spray Sakazaki in the face and then pin her for the win.

As the match began, Sasadango lured Takeshita up to the stage by waving around his personal 1950s style Leica camera. Sakazaki told Takeshita he could just buy a new one but he ignored her to chase after Sasadango. Misao then summoned her extras Hyper MiKAWAII (Uta Takami), Hyper MiDREAM (Ren Konatsu) and Hyper MiSTRONG (Toga) so the four of them could all attack Sakazaki while chanting their slogan. However the four way spray attack backfired when Sakazaki ran out of the way and everyone blinded each other instead. Later when the fighting escaped the ring again, Takeshita missed a Big Boot meant for Sasadango and accidentally hit Sakazaki with it! Later in the match Misao went for the spray again but found out it was now empty. She called for a pause so she could speak on the microphone because she wasn’t able to do it earlier due to Sasadango’s PowerPoint. In her speech she said she was the first one to raise her hand when TJPW were looking for an opponent for Sakazaki’s return. Misao does not have most of her seniors still around in TJPW and Sakazaki is one of them. When Sakazaki graduated from TJPW, Misao never had the courage to express her feelings and was left to regret it. She pleaded with Takeshita to tag Sakazaki in so she could fight her one on one for the rest of the match. Sakazaki would win that battle but Sasadango broke the pin count believing Misao could still win. The match returned to being two against two and Sakazaki got to beat Misao proper with the Magical Magical Girl Splash. Backstage Sakazaki said the “Cultural Pro Wrestling” style provided by DDT and TJPW is something special. Both Sasadango & Misao will continue to represent that style for a long time to come. She also vaguely remembers feeling a kick to her head at some point during the match but Takeshita told her she’s just imaginining things. Takeshita also said that he and Sakazaki will strive for greater heights together hand in hand along with their pet dog Kenshiro. Misao thanked Sasadango for somehow achieving her selfish wish to fight Sakazaki one on one within a 3 meter radiance of Sumo Hall.

High reviews are popping off for Match #6. Miyu Yamashita & Arisu Endo tried their hardest to stand their ground against Spark Rush. Even from the beginning the tension was high with Yamashita and Sareee staring each other down in the ring with some hair pulling to go with it. Endo lived up to her promise not to be the odd one out of the match by bringing the fight to both Sareee & Takumi Iroha. Late in the match Sareee got to roll Yamashita into position for a Double Stomp only for Yamashita to fire back at her with the Skull Kick. Endo wasn’t able to last much longer fighting Iroha by herself. Despite a spirited fight, she was put away with the Running Three. Backstage Iroha said Yamashita was someone who was always on her radar and she hasn’t had enough of fighting her yet. She’d like to see how Yamashita would fare against her outside of TJPW. Both of Spark Rush also thought Endo was just some brat but it turns out she has a lot of guts. Sareee was happy to have Iroha by her side for her return to TJPW. She would like to fight Yamashita again soon but Miu Watanabe has also caught her attention. Yamashita called the match fun but thinks the fun will disappear if she doesn’t win. Endo wanted to say she will keep chasing Spark Rush until she can beat them but struggled to fight through the tears. Yamashita instructed her to hold her head up high and say it clearly.

Mizuki entered an epic battle of David Vs Goliath armed with the brand new Burn Pico Pico Core Axe Hammer. But it wasn’t just Andreza Giant Panda she had to worry about. Andreza was accompanied by other New Nemuro Pro Wrestling acts like Ossan Tiger and Mr. USA, the latter of which tried to interfere at a different points in the match. Mizuki survived the massive Headbutt and Spinning Back Fist, then bridged out of the Andreza Press to start Double Stomping on the panda. She then grabbed her new weapon, climbed the top rope and just like she did two years earlier knocked him down with an almighty swing! Mr. USA spoiled the moment by pulling the ref out of the ring but Mizuki took care of him by doing the Whirling Candy on top of him. Andreza found the fighting spirit to stand back up but Mizuki took him down again this time with the Diving Foot Stomp right to the face. That was the finishing blow for Mizuki to pin the panda. Backstage Mizuki says she really loves pandas but Andreza is evil. With that said she is willing to put this all behind her so she and the Giant Panda can become friends. Andreza’s excuse for losing is he is usually in hibernation at this time of year until early September. He would like to come back for revenge later in the year during a more warmer season.

The Tojo Tokosatsu Club got to achieve their dream of fighting alongside the Super Sentai. They made a big entrance with three of the red rangers Ninja Red, Geki Red & Goon Red Go-On Red. However their opponents had a suprise of their own when they were joined by a trio of villains from the same show and they took Rise Shirai hostage! Pom Harajuku told the Club they shouldn’t have brought their hobby into the ring. If they want to save Shirai then they should forfeit the match! Yuki Aino admitted she was excited to see the Super Sentai collaboration also included bringing in monsters but her team didn’t know what to do. Suddenly the voice actor Tetsu Inada left the commentary table and entered the ring. He said the Super Sentai will never lose and he encouraged the audience to cheer for them because that powers up superheroes just like it does pro wrestlers. Together, the Super Sentai and Tokosatsu Club sent the villains fleeing from the ring, freeing Shirai in the process. It was then time to start the actual match. Harajuku wasn’t worried because Aja Kong & VENY are more dangerous than any monster. The two of them were a tough pair for the Tokosatsu Club to fight. The Club tried to form a Megazord but collapsed under each other’s weight. The other team suffered a setback of their own when Kong missed Shoko Nakajima with the steel can and hit Harajuku with it instead. Haru Kazashiro knocked Kong out of the ring with a second rope Dropkick and the coast was clear for Nakajima to pin Harajuku with the Diving Senton. Nakajima said she worked way harder than usual because she wanted to look her coolest in front of Ninja Red. Aino didn’t want to show a pathetic performance in front of the Super Sentai. Kazashiro thinks they were stronger than usual because their feelings are the source of their strength and the Super Sentai collaboration magnified them today. Kong blamed Harajuku over calling for her to use the metal can because you can’t use an 18 liter can for everything. There’s a time and place for to use it and Harajuku’s timing is terrible! Kong also thought the monsters were useless because they all came unarmed to fight a bunch of Sentai carrying swords and guns!

Many stressful games of Rock Paper Scissors have prepared Shino Suzuki for today’s big match. She couldn’t help but go through it one more time with HIMAWARI as part of their entrance together. The training paid off because Bumping gRitters were able to win their match! Suzuki used the Belly-To-Belly Suplex on Toga while HIMAWARI was able to pin Ren Konatsu with the Sunflower Tempest for the victory. Suzuki was so happy over the result because before the show she said Bumping gRitters were going to leave the ring by walking up the Ryogoku entrance ramp instead of leaving through the side exit. She got to live up to her word. HIMAWARI said next time they’ll try to do it again but on their own. They think they might even get to fight for a championship the next time they come to Sumo Hall! Konatsu talked about how everyone else in the match is from the 2023 class and seeing them all fired up shows she still has a long way to go. Toga said she’ll work hard to overtake the gRitters and win next time.

The Battle Royal was a free for all before it even began. After Minimo made a big entrance with Mari Yaguchi, a video played on the screen showing Raku backstage pinning Antonio Honda while he was asleep to win the Iron Man Heavymetalweight Title. Raku then made it down to the ring to start the match as the defending champion. Yaguchi interfered to attack Raku with a Sexy Beam but the two then joined forces to fight off Mifu Ashida. Raku broke off the alliance by hitting Minimo with the Poppo Chop for the first elimination. Momo Sato got to show off her skills against Chika Nanase but was ultimately taken out by Nanase’s Inari Torii submission hold. Rika Tatsumi appeared under her psycho persona The Great Wakabayashi-kun. She was armed with a foreign object that she used to choke both Nanase and Kira Summer. It also had a blade hidden inside it which she used to stab Raku’s pillow. After doing that she pinned Raku with the Neck Hanging Bomb to win the title. Sakura Hattori made quick work of eliminating Nanase when she entered the match but putting her attention on Matcha afterwards allowed Summer to knock her from the ring apron to the floor for an elimination. Mahiro Kiryu then got to do the same thing to both Summer and Matcha. Sumire Uesaka made her big entrance by rampaging through the crowd armed with a saber just like Tiger Jeet Singh (Tetsu Inada was following her while dressed as Umanosuke Ueda). Honda used his Gongitsune joke to knock Ashida out of the ring. The Shining Gongitsune meant for Kiryu hit Tatsumi instead and Kiryu rolled her up to win the title next. Honda was now ready to fight his war with Uesaka until Uesaka tripped and injured herself. She told her own Gongitsune joke and hit Honda with it to send him tumbling out of the ring. She then used a Victor Roll on Kiryu to set up a Knee Bar submission, tapping Kiryu out to win the Battle Royal and become Iron Man Champion! She’s a little worried about defending it because her saber went missing during the match and she doesn’t know where to find it. Meanwhile Momo Sato said she had so much fun she wants to start from scratch and join TJPW as a trainee. Her goal as a pro wrestler will be to one day take down her brother Daichi Sato!

Today is Uta Takami’s birthday and she got to celebrate it by beating Shion Kanzaki in the opening match of the show. While Kanzaki had some spots of offence including a Jumping Back Elbow from the second rope, Takami took her down with the Koala Clutch and tightened the grip around the body with her legs until Kanzaki gave up. Takami said one of her wrestling goals is to win a match in Sumo Hall. It’s not a big enough goal to make her cry tears of joy but she’s still incredibly happy to achieve it today. Kanzaki said she was very nervous to be in the first match of the show in front of so many people inside a big venue. She gave it her all which is why the defeat feels even more frustrating. She promised to work even harder so that she can beat Takami one day.
