6. Princess Of Princess Title Next Challenger Decision 6 Way Elimination Match: Yuki Arai defeated Miyu Yamashita, Shoko Nakajima, Mizuki, Rika Tatsumi and Max The Impaler (24:17).

6c. Rika Tatsumi eliminated Shoko Nakajima with the Reverse Twist Of Fate (12:25).
6d. Miyu Yamashita eliminated Rika Tatsumi with the Crash Rabbit Heat (19:30).
6e. Yuki Arai eliminated Miyu Yamashita with the Scorpion Death Lock (24:17).

A 6-Woman Elimination Match was put together by Tokyo Joshi Pro to determine the No. 1 Contender for the Princess Of Princess Title at “GRAND PRINCESS ’26” later this year. This was not done as a typical Battle Royal were over the top rope eliminations were involved. Instead everyone had to pin or submit their opponents to knock them out of the match. Max The Impaler was the big target for everyone else and it took so much teamwork from all of them together to eventually take Max out of the running. Shoko Nakajima got the pinfall with the Diving Senton and then went on to eliminate Mizuki with a Jackknife Pin thanks to an assisted Hip Attack from Rika Tatsumi. Then Tatsumi got rid of Nakajima by using the Dragon Sleeper and switching it into a Reverse Twist Of Fate for the pinfall. Tatsumi was then next to go when Miyu Yamashita used the Avalanche Attitude Adjustment then finished her off with a Buzzsaw Kick followed by the Crash Rabbit Heat. That left Yamashita with Yuki Arai as the final two wrestlers. Arai surprisingly blocked the Skull Kick and knocked Yamashita back with a Big Boot. She then applied the Scorpion Death Lock and increased the pressure far enough to make Yamashita give up!

That means Arai will now challenge Miu Watanabe for the Princess Title at Sumo Hall on 29th March. With today’s result over Yamashita, Arai feels like she now has no other choice but to reach the top of TJPW. She called Watanabe down to the ring so she could challenge her face to face. Watanabe told Arai she earned the right to challenge her by winning an amazing match. She wants the two of them to fill up Sumo Hall to capacity and for Arai to tell everyone how much she loves TJPW along the way. Arai said she is now in a special position where she gets to perform in a big main event. She will put her heart and soul into it and cherish every day in order to become the strongest she can be.

In the meantime, Watanabe might need to watch out for other challengers showing up especially ones she previously defended the belt against. Yuki Aino took her to the limit in a tag match that went to a 20 minute draw. While J-Rod and Ryo Mizunami cancelled each other out with their power, Aino (sporting a new haircut) countered the Tear Drop into the Venus DDT for a nearfall. She was then seconds away from giving Watanabe the UBV when the bell rang to end the match in a tie.

Toga has decided to give a new name to her Rock Bottom Finisher. It is now called the Absolute Zero. So in typical fashion the first match she wins since renaming the move was won with a Face Lock instead.

In Match #3 Hyper Misao complained to Mahiro Kiryu over how she beat up the Hypami Dramatic Dream to win back the Iron Man Heavymetalweight Title at Korakuen Hall last weekend. When Kiryu started arguing back, Misao sprayed her in the face and everyone in the match tried to pin her to win the belt.

9. Princess Of Princess Title: Miu Watanabe (c) defeated Suzume with the Spinning Tear Drop (22:28).
*V4 for Miu Watanabe.

One year ago Miu Watanabe couldn’t beat the allegations that she is a monster rather than a princess. Fast forward one year later and there is no denying that she is the Princess Of Princess Champion to beat! The 11th annual Korakuen Hall show on 4th January served as Tokyo Joshi Pro’s entry into 2026 and delivered a main event that will be remembered as one of the promotion’s greatest matches to ever happen. Suzume used ever ounce of strength she had to try and avoid being swung around by Watanabe. In doing so she tied up the champion with the Hachinosu Eight Knot submission hold. She also relied on doing high risk Flying Facecrushers both in and out of the ring. When things looked most bleak for her, she pulled out the Ring A Bell as the big counter to Watanabe’s Tear Drop but that couldn’t get her the win. She jumped to the ropes to do the Spring Ring A Bell but Watanabe struck her out of the air with a Batting Hammer and followed it up with the Laserbeam. After that all she needed to do was land the Spinning Tear Drop to remain the champion.

Watanabe said the leadup period to this match with Suzume felt so long but she had so much fun along the way. She wants to defend the title against Suzume again some day and knows it will happen. But her next goal is to have a successful title defence in front of a packed Sumo Hall on 29th March. Once she can do that she is sure she can find even happier dreams to make come true. TJPW’s slogan for 2026 is “KAWAII×DREAM×STRONG ～Pro Wrestling That Makes You Look Forward To Tomorrow～” and Watanabe’s goal is to expand the promotion’s circle of happiness. In her backstage comments Watanabe noticed just as much cheers coming from the overseas fans in attednance than the Japanese fans. She said both are good and it’s nice to think that TJPW is reaching out to the whole world. She will be travelling a lot this year and wants to spread TJPW worldwide along with the Princess Title. While Suzume couldn’t win today, she comes out of the match loving pro wrestling even more. Today only showed that she doesn’t understand yet the weight of being the Princess Champion. It only makes her want it more so she isn’t going to give up.

The emergence of Shunrai Rekka!! Prism Greed as the newest challengers for the Princess Tag Team Titles proved to be a tough nut for Ober Eats to crack. Yuki Kamifuku resorted to bringing Yuki Aino out of the ring to fight in the front row while Wakana Uehara dealt with Haru Kazashiro between the ropes. Ober Eats took control from there until Aino made a comeback with Kazashiro following her lead. Kazashiro jumped off of Aino’s back to land a Low Cross Body onto Kamifuku but Uehara was there to stop Aino from doing the UBV. Kamifuku gave both of Prism Greed a Double Famouser and Uehara put Kazashiro in the Banana Pillow, increasing the pressure until the challenger gave up. Uehara admitted to having sleepless nights from losing the preview matches leading into today. If she had lost the Princess Tag Titles she would be spending the rest of this year feeling depressed. Kamifuku was in a better mood going into the match because she spend the New Year period with her parents and the 1.8L bottle of sake she gave her father as a gift only lasted 12 hours. It taught her the lesson to stop being so uptight during title matches. Prism Greed learned that losing this match means they can only move up from here. Kazashiro now thinks the wins she got heading into the title match are meaningless if you can’t win the big one at the end but she also thinks she has gotten closer with Aino. She’ll be by her side until Aino decides to retire or graduate.

The surprising return of MIRAI to TJPW resulted in an even further shocking turn of events when she beat Arisu Endo to become the new International Princess Champion! Now a part of Michinoku Pro, MIRAI was accompanied to the ring by ken45° and Manjimaru but the two men had no intentions of disrupting the match. MIRAI went on to avoid the Ju no Okite and rope break her way out of the Camel Clutch. Endo found herself in danger when she took the Miramare Shock (Death Valley Bomb) and before she realized it, MIRAI knocked her down with the Lariat and got the three count to win the championship! The result makes MIRAI the first person to win titles in Stardom, Marigold and TJPW (and JTO if you want to go deeper).

MIRAI has now won the title she failed to get during her days as a TJPW roster member. After thanking Endo for the match she announced her intentions to defend the belt, causing Toga to enter the ring and ask for a title shot. Toga wasn’t around back when MIRAI was with TJPW but watching this match made Toga want to wrestle her. MIRAI said she heard of Toga for having strong elbow strikes and looking like a cool wrestler so she wants fight her too. She accepted her challenge. Backstage MIRAI spoke about the warm reception from TJPW fans for her return. She always wanted to be one of a kind and TJPW is the promotion that best suits that kind of mindset. Toga said she was going to make a challenge no matter who won today because she wants to show she can be strong by herself but she is happy to go elbow versus elbow with MIRAI. It is also meant to be an international championship, Toga wants to spread her wings and fly out into the world.

The show also featured the return of Yuka Sakazaki as she reunited The Magical Sugar Rabbits with Mizuki while Yuki Arai joined in on the fun. Sakazaki was puzzled to see Raku taking a nap in the ring when the match began until Raku woke up and shouted “First sunrise!” while wearing a sun-shaped hat. Max The Impaler wasn’t in the same sleepy mood and decided to throw Raku’s pillow into the crowd. They then picked up Pom Harajuku to throw at the other team but they all dodged it and Harajuku landed hard on the mat. MagiRabi threw what they could at Max to slow them down while Arai got to pin Harajuku with a Modified Brainbuster to start her year off with a win. Arai said her goal for 2026 is to become champion, Mizuki’s goal is to take TJPW into the galaxy and Sakazaki’s goal is to become a NASA executive.

Mifu Ashida’s cheerleading is infectious enough to get J-Rod involved. When Ashida decided to bring in her pompoms for a cheer, she handed one over to her partner and J-Rod eventually decided to join in while they beat down their opponents. Miyu Yamashita was able to break down J-Rod with her kicks while Kaya Toribami targeted Ashida. Things took a wrong turn for Toribami when Ashida used her own flexibility to get out of the Bird Cage and then German Suplex her opponent. However Toribami got to hit her with a knee to the back of the head before landing the Sento Choryu to get the victory. Yamashita & Toribami still hold the IWA Japan SETUP World Tag Team Titles and they want to defend them even more this year. J-Rod said she will team with Ashida again but next time they will get rid of the smiling faces and take things more seriously. Ashida didn’t really listen because she’s just happy with the idea of getting to team up with J-Rod again.

The 12:10 race meeting near Wins Korakuen was about to begin. The annual Ittenyon match between Shoko Nakajima and Hyper Misao took on a horse racing theme this year because 2026 is the Year Of The Horse. Also Umamusume is bigger than ever and despite the corporate connections this is the only way TJPW could capitalize on it. The first ever Uma Princess Cup race took place between three uma-wrestlers: Haru Utata, Gold Konatsu Ship and Silence Shion. It was up to Kyoraku Kyomei to bet on the right horsegirl to win a three lap race around Korakuen Hall. They were also permitted to do anything they wanted to interfere in the race so their chosen horsegirl would win. Nakajima picked Utata while Misao put it all on Shion, leaving Konatsu as the odd one out. As the race progressed Misao attacked Utata on the first lap until Nakajima came to the rescue. On the second lap Nakajima tried to attack Shion up in the aisleway but Shion instead slammed her onto a pile of Kaiju toys laid out on the floor. Misao rode out on the Hyper Mobile aiming to run over Utata but she hit Mahiro Kiryu instead. A big pile up resulted in the bike being laid on top of Kiryu. Daisuke Kiso counted to three and declared the Hypami Dramatic Dream as the new Iron Man Heavymetalweight Champion! Meanwhile the race entered its final lap where Nakajima & Utata kept getting into fights with Misao & Shion. They also taped Konatsu & Kiryu together to slow them down but that pair slowly made progress on the track while everyone else was fighting each other. Misao ended up using the ring apron to wrap up Nakajima & Utata but some carelessness resulted in her & Shion getting trapped inside it too. While all of this was happening, Konatsu & Kiryu slowly made it across the finish line inside the ring to win the race, meaning neither Nakajima or Misao won the match. Shortly after the chaos ended, Kiryu pinned the Hypami Dramatic Dream at ringside to win back the Iron Man Title.

The Iron Man Title had a busy day because the match before the horsegirl race was a 4 Way with the belt up for grabs. Rika Tatsumi was on the verge of submitting Kiryu with the White Dragon Sleeper when Aja Kong knocked her out with a steel can. That left Shino Suzuki as the only one left to try and stop Kong. She narrowly avoided getting squashed with a Hip Drop to roll Kong over for a nearfall. Kong then stopped her in her tracks with a Slap and pinned her with the Back Drop to win the Iron Man Title.

After the match Kiryu told Kong her dream was to protect the championship until the day she was put in a coffin but now it will never happen. Then Tatsumi tried to School Boy Kong but it didn’t work. Kiryu then tried doing the same move and Tatsumi helped make it work by reaching out to strangle Kong by the neck. A three count was made and Tatsumi celebrated with the belt until it was announced that since Kiryu was directly on top of Kong for the pin, Kiryu was the new champion instead! Kong chased her backstage wanting to win it back but decided it would be better if she can beat Kiryu in a singles match for it. She told Kiryu to put her life on the line to defend the title until then.

Toga’s opening into getting an IP Title match was set up earlier in the show when she scored the pin for Hot Shot. With Yuna Manase there to take down HIMAWARI with a Lariat, nothing could stop Toga from hitting Kira Summer with the Elbow Smash and then follow it up with the Rock Bottom for the victory. Manase praised Toga for showing incredible spirit but Toga told her she hopes not to rely on her so much for 2026. That is why she wanted to beat Summer by herself in the finishing stretch. Manase agreed with her, saying that the point of Hot Shot is to help Toga shine like a Hollywood star. She’ll support Toga as she turns from being ice cold into the hottest blue flame. HIMAWARI & Summer still get along despite losing because both of their birthdays are on 18th December. They also enjoyed wrestling in front of a packed venue with a great atmosphere today.

The opening match was the debut of TJPW’s newest rookie Shion Kanzaki. She started off the bout against Uta Takami using moves like Elbow Strikes and a Headlock. Takami eventually locked in the Koala Clutch and Chika Nanase was there to stop Ren Konatsu from breaking it up. Kanzaki tried fighting back with Dropkicks but Takami applied another Koala Clutch, this time getting the rookie to submit. Kanzaki said she was nervous before the match but Konatsu was able to motivate her and she ended up enjoying the match. She has loved pro wrestling since she was a kid because it got her through so many situations in life so she wants to become a pro wrestler that can support someone else the same way. The wrestlers she looks up to are Shoko Nakajima and Miu Watanabe.

An unlikely debut is planned for “GRAND PRINCESS ’26” this March. The mascot Minimo-chan is going to have its first ever pro wrestling match! Minimo-chan is the mascot for the 2000s idol group Minimoni and it promised to do its best to do a Lariat. Minimo-chan will be accompanied for its match by one of Minimoni’s members Mari Yaguchi. She recently worked with TJPW for its show in Malaysia and she thought it was an incredibly cool experience. She finds it hard to imagine what Minimo-chan will look like in a TJPW ring but she will be there to cheer it on.

The annual Ittenyon tradition will continue next year as TJPW will again be in Korakuen Hall on 4th January, 2027. Rise Shirai and Fumirin announced it to everyone at the start of the show. I noticed though that unlike last year they did not announce a Shoko Nakajima Vs Hyper Misao match in advance. I hope that’s not foreshadowing something for down the line…

Tomorrow’s match order for the final DDT show in Korakuen Hall for 2025 has been decided on. Takeshi Masada has not done a good job convincing fans he has a chance of beating Yuki Ueno for the KO-D Openweight Title. I don’t think Christmas miracles can work that hard either.

Shinjuku FACE

1. Princess Of Princess Title Next Challenger Match: X Vs X

Not long after the dust settles from Watanabe Vs Suzume, a new challenger will be decided for the Princess Title. The match format and number of participants has not been decided yet. Most likely Tokyo Joshi Pro is waiting to see how the results on 4th January will turn out before deciding who deserves a chance at earning a title shot.

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “GRAND PRINCESS ’26”, 29/03/2026
Tokyo Ryogoku Kokugikan

1. Princess Of Princess Title: Miu Watanabe (c) Vs X

What has been confirmed is the next No. 1 Contender will get their title match at Sumo Hall for “GRAND PRINCESS ’26”! Watanabe’s current goal is to keep her title reign lasting long enough for her to be the defending champion at Ryogoku. If she gets past Suzume she will then be all clear to make that dream come true.

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “TJPW LIVE IN BANGKOK” Results

December 13, 2025

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “TJPW LIVE IN BANGKOK”, 13/12/2025
The Circus Studio, G Village, Bangkok, Thailand
327 Fans – Super No Vacancy Full House

1. Yuki Kamifuku defeated Uta Takami with the Famouser (7:57).
2. Suzume & Arisu Endo defeated Yuki Arai & Shino Suzuki when Suzume pinned Suzuki with the Ring A Bell (11:08).
3. MLW Women’s World Featherweight Title: Shoko Nakajima (c) defeated Alexis Lee with the Diving Senton (9:05).
*V6 for Shoko Nakajima.
4. IWA Japan SETUP World Tag Team Titles: Miyu Yamashita & Kaya Toribami (c) defeated Raku & Pom Harajuku when Yamashita pinned Raku with the Skull Kick (14:27).
*V1 for Miyu Yamashita & Kaya Toribami.
5. Princess Of Princess Title: Miu Watanabe (c) defeated Matcha with the Spinning Tear Drop (17:47).
*V3 for Miu Watanabe.

The last few years of Tokyo Joshi Pro and SETUP working together has all led to this, the first TJPW show to be held in Thailand! Such an important show needed an important match so Match, the current SETUP All Asia Women’s Champion challenged Miu Watanabe for the Princess Of Princess Title. The hometown challenger winning would lead to severe consequences for 4th January and rob that show of a main event title match but Watanabe took the match and won through in the end. A late pin after the Saito Suplex gave Watanabe enough recovery time to kick out. She was then able to block another Saito Suplex, hit Matcha with the Laserbeam strike and finish her off with the Spinning Tear Drop. She told Matcha after the match she is glad they got to show each other their love for pro wrestling in a place that Matcha holds so dear. While Matcha couldn’t win the title, she thinks today was a huge victory for the Thailand wrestling scene because this was the first all-women wrestling show to take place in Southeast Asia.

The connections between TJPW and SETUP also runs deep because a TJPW team currently hold one of SETUP’s championships. Miyu Yamashita & Kaya Toribami were here to defend the IWA Japan SETUP World Tag Team Titles and their opponents were two TJPW wrestlers who have already made their mark in SETUP by being champions there in the past. Raku & Pom Harajuku got the jump on the champions at the start by using Raku’s nap trick, then Raku tried to suffocate Toribami with a pillow while Yamashita chased Harauku around ringside. Harajuku armed herself with boxing gloves so she could punch Yamashita but ended up bumping into Raku when they missed some attacks. Toribami knocked Harajuku away with a Shining Enzuigiri while Yamashita set Raku with the Skull Kick for the succesful defence. Toribami was thrilled because this was her first time defending a championship while Yamashita was relieved because she couldn’t predict what Raku & Harajuku would get up to. It’s complicated because on the one hand she doesn’t want to have another title match against them but on the other she thinks they should have a rematch back in Japan. Harajuku is disappointed because if her team won, she wanted to take the black title belt and Raku would get the red one.

The MLW Women’s World Featherweight Title was also defended on this show when Shoko Nakajima put the belt on the line against a regular name around these parts Alexis Lee. When it was clear that Nakajima had the upper hand in ability, Lee resorted to cheating. The referee Shivam was accidentally taken out by Nakajima’s Rider Kick and when Lee gave her the Sister Abigal, nobody was around to count it. Lee then grabbed the belt and hit Nakajima with it before hitting her No Lee Way finisher but Shivam’s slow recovery gave Nakajima enough breathing room to kick out at two. Nakajima then avoided the Sister Abigail to hit Lee with the 619 then followed it up with the Double Arm DDT and Diving Senton for the victory. Nakajima said she now has the right to go and wrestle in Lee’s home country of Singapore so next time they can go fight over there.

Shino Suzuki led the way in Match #2 by giving everyone else in the match a “tour” of Bangkok in the ring. She & Yuki Arai worked together to wear down Suzume but Arisu Endo was there to save her tag partner. Daisy Monkey then went ahead on the attack with Endo taking care of Arai so Suzume could pin Suzuki with the Ring A Bell.

The height difference of Yuki Kamifuku and Uta Takami was shown throughout the opening match. Kamifuku kept using Big Boots and other moves that relied on her long legs. Takami worked hard to try and avoid the Famouser but her own Koala Clutch was blocked so Kamifuku could win with her finisher anyway.

The show began with a performance from all four members of The Up Up Girls (Pro Wrestling). Also earlier in the day there was a SETUP show in the venue that featured Watanabe and Matcha signing their contracts for the title match.

Now many years later Super Japan is debuting a “Showa” II who has inherited the gimmick alongside a new tag team partner named “Reiwa”. The two of them will be MIKAMI & Takashi Sasaki’s opponents.

BAKA GAIJIN + FRIENDS “VOL. 27: THE NIGHT THEY CAME HOME”, 13/01/2026
Tokyo ARENA Shimokitazawa

1. Special Single Match: Tokyo Ganesha Vs Princess Ram
2. Special Single Match: Chris Brookes Vs Shota

Recently Chris Brookes and Shota got to hang out in Malaysia together and got to reminisce about Brookes coming to Japan back in 2020. Both have grown a lot since then and they are approaching six years of being friends so they’re going to have a match against each other to celebrate.

A masked wrestler from India named Tokyo Ganesha first appeared last year in Michinoku Pro for their signature Fukumen World League tournament. He has made a handful of appearances in both M-Pro and ChocoPro (oh, I wonder why?) since then and will next make his debut for Baka Gaijin + Friends. His opponent will be Princess Ram.

Mr. Bueno, MAO and Dark King Ueki will all be on the show.

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “GRAND PRINCESS ’26”, 29/03/2026
Tokyo Ryogoku Kokugikan

A special PR ambassador has been hired for the show. Super Sasadango Machine will be providing his skills to help promote TJPW’s return to Sumo Hall.

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “TJPW X OCHA NORMA – OCHA PRO☆KORAKUEN”, 07/12/2025
Tokyo Korakuen Hall

1. Ochanor Mask Vs X

Some more details about how the show will work out has been revealed. The event consists of two 25 minute long live performances from OCHA NORMA as well as five wrestling matches from Tokyo Joshi Pro. There will also be a performance from The Up Up Girls (Pro Wrestling) where they will cover an OCHA NORMA song. Some of the idols will be doing either commentary or ring announcing for the matches.

Not everyone will be welcoming OCHA NORMA in with open arms though. The group is often associated with tea but there are wrestlers in TJPW who much prefer to drink coffee instead. They are Yuki Kamifuku and Hyper Misao and they will be showing up to the event as the Coffee Breakers!

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “TJPW LIVE IN BANGKOK”, 13/12/2025
The Circus Studio, G Village, Bangkok, Thailand

1. Princess Of Princess Title: Miu Watanabe (c) Vs Matcha

During SETUP’s big show in Japan last week, Matcha successfully defended her SETUP All Asia Women’s Title and is ready to take on a bigger challenge. With TJPW heading the other direction to her home country of Thailand next month, she wants to fight Miu Watanabe for the Princess Of Princess Title! Watanabe accepted the challenge so she can make the championship even more illustrious.

1. Shoko Nakajima Vs Hyper Misao
2. Princess Of Princess Title: Miu Watanabe (c) Vs Suzume

Yuka Sakazaki is coming back to TJPW for a handful of appearances in 2026. The first will be at the Ittenyon show.

DDT And TJPW Related Results From SETUP’s Debut In Japan

November 15, 2025

SETUP/IWA THAILAND “A NEW DAWN”, 14/11/2025
TOKYO SQUARE In Itabashi
270 Fans

2. SETUP All Asia Women’s Title – 3 Way Bangkok Death Match: Matcha (c) defeated Ram Kaichow and Pom Harajuku when Matcha pinned Harajuku with the Saito Suplex (9:52).
*V3 for Matcha.
4. IWA Japan SETUP World Tag Team Titles – 3 Way Match: Miyu Yamashita & Kaya Toribami defeated Andruew Tang & Jake De Leon (c) and Kappa Kozo & Kappa Jr. when Toribami pinned Kozo with the Sento Choryu (9:23).
*RGT fails in V1. Miyu Yamashita & Kaya Toribami become the 15th IWA Japan SETUP World Tag Team Champions!
5. Double Main Event I – Ace Vs Ace: HARASHIMA defeated Shivam with the Somato (12:17).

Note: The results and attendance number was given to me by SETUP Thailand Pro Wrestling themselves.

After a long time of planning, SETUP was able to land in Tokyo to hold their very first full show in Japan. Through their working relationships with several wrestlers and promotions (they took over the IWA Japan lineage after Tatsukuni Asano passed away last year, hence IWA Thailand now existing) they put together a card inside TOKYO SQUARE In Itabashi and were able to draw in quite a big crowd to it. DDT and Tokyo Joshi Pro had some presence on the shows and while I normally would have saved this for the next DDT Around The World article at the end of the month, some timely news coming out of the show means it is best for me to post it now.

DDT was represented in the first of two main events on the show. HARASHIMA was called in to face SETUP’s top wrestler Shivam in an Ace Vs Ace showdown. He was able to keep on his toes by relying on the Somato to cut off Shivam’s momentum. He hit the move out of nowhere after taking a Sit Down Power Bomb and then used it a few more times on route to victory.

TJPW were involved in two matches on the day with high risks leading to mixed results. The good news for TJPW fans is Miyu Yamashita & Kaya Toribami are now champions together! The two of them won the IWA Japan SETUP World Tag Team Titles in a 3 Way Tag Match. Fighting them were the defending champions Real Global Threat and pestering nuisance that is the Kappa World Order. Given the environment, things got out of control and it ended up costing RGT their belts. Andruew Tang & Jake De Leon were on track to winning the match when a third Kappa at ringside grabbed and pulled them out of the ring. The TJPW team then took down the kWo, using a combo of the Skull Kick from Yamashita followed by the Sento Choryu from Toribami for the surprise title change.

The other 3 Way with a championship on the line didn’t go as well for Pom Harajuku. She was thrown into a Bangkok Death Match against Matcha and Ram Kaichow with the SETUP All Asia Women’s Title on the line. It was a chance for Harajuku to take the belt from Matcha for a second time in their career but this time things went differently. Some of the Bangkok themed moments in the match included the women playing Kra-dòht yan with a rope until Kaichow snipped it in half with scissors, Harajuku wearing muay thai cosplay and everyone hitting each other with metal trays. Harajuku’s muay thai cosplay dragged Thanomsak Toba into the match where he ended up putting a glove on at ringside and knocked out both Matcha and Harajuku with punches. Matcha was able to recover and used the Saito Suplex to pin Harajuku back inside the ring for a successful title defence.

Now that Matcha got revenge on Harajuku and is gathering momentum on her side, she is now looking towards the distant future. TJPW will be coming to Thailand for their own show on 13th December and Matcha will be a part of it. She wants to get a title match on that show but it won’t be her defending her own championship. She is challenging Miu Watanabe for the Princess Of Princess Title in Bangkok next month!

D GENERATIONS SP, YuuRI Gearing Up To A Big End Of The Year, Watanabe Vs Suzume At Ittenyon

November 10, 2025

DDT “D GENERATIONS SP”, 11/11/2025
Shinjuku FACE

1. Ali Najima Vs Hinata Kasai
2. Yuki Ishida & Kazuma Sumi Vs Munetatsu Nakamura & Sentaro Motoshima
3. To-y Vs Daichi Sato
4. Special Single Match: Daiki Nagai Vs Rukiya
5. Special Tag Match: Yuya Koroku & Katsuya Murashima Vs Ryoma Tsukamoto & Kumadori
6. Special Tag Match: Kosei Fujita & Takeshi Masada Vs Hideki Okatani & Ilusion

Tomorrow is a big day for D GENERATIONS because their next show is in Shinjuku FACE rather than the outdoor theater at Ueno Park. There’s also a few young New Japan wrestlers involved too.

GANBARE☆PRO “TBA”, 29/11/2025
Tokyo Takashimadaira Kumin Center

1. Spirit Of Ganbare World Tag Team Titles: Ryota Nakatsu & Takumi Tsukamoto (c) Vs Shuichiro Katsumura & YuuRI

As shown in recent Ganbare☆Pro events, YuuRI does not want to be just confined to the Ganbare☆Joshi division. She thinks she is good enough to beat the BASARA team and bring the Spirit Of Ganbare World Tag Team Titles back home. She needs a tag partner though and lucky for her, Shuichiro Katsumura has her back. Ryota Nakatsu & Takumi Tsukamoto aren’t feeling worried about them though.

It’s not official yet but Ken Ohka has been chosen to be Masaaki Mochizuki’s next opponent for the Spirit Of Ganbare World Title after he begged to Michiyoshi Mishima for the opportunity. GanPro want the match to happen at this show but Dragon Gate also has an event going on in Okinawa the same day. Negotiations are under way to get Mochizuki booked for this show.

DDT “BE AMBITIOUS ~AUTUMN BATTLE~”, 30/11/2025
Tokyo Korakuen Hall

1. DDT Extreme Title – Weapon Gamble Match: To-y (c) Vs Sanshiro Takagi
2. KO-D Tag Team Titles: MAO & KANON (c) (w/ KIMIHIRO) Vs Daisuke Sasaki & Hideki Okatani
3. Special Single Match: KONOSUKE TAKESHITA Vs Shinya Aoki
4. KO-D Openweight Title & DDT Universal Title: Yuki Ueno (c/c) Vs Super Sasadango Machine

An extra caveat of the Weapon Rumble is the weapons must be bought using only money that To-y and Sanshiro Takagi have won from gambling in the leadup to the match.

GANBARE☆PRO “BEFORE SUNRISE 2025”, 27/12/2025
Tokyo Korakuen Hall

1. YuuRI 5th Anniversary Match: YuuRI Vs Sareee

It’s been five years of YuuRI but can she make it to six when Sareee is standing in her way?

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “TOKYO JOSHI PRO ’26”, 04/01/2026
Tokyo Korakuen Hall

1. Shoko Nakajima Vs Hyper Misao
2. Princess Of Princess Title: Miu Watanabe (c) Vs Suzume

Ittenyon is getting something completely fresh for its headline match. As far as I know, Miu Watanabe and Suzume have only had two previous singles matches together and they were both in 2022. The next time they go one on one it will be the headline bout at Korakuen Hall with the Princess Of Princess Title on the line!

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “ALL RISE ’25” Results

November 9, 2025

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “ALL RISE ’25”, 09/11/2025
Tokyo Korakuen Hall
730 Fans

1. Ryo Mizunami, Rika Tatsumi, Chika Nanase & Ren Konatsu defeated Hyper Misao, Kakeru Sekiguchi, Mahiro Kiryu & Mifu Ashida when Tatsumi pinned Ashida with the Twist Of Fate (14:46).
2. 4 Way Tag Match: Mizuki & Suzume defeated Miyu Yamashita & Kaya Toribami, Yuki Aino & Haru Kazashiro and Raku & Pom Harajuku when Suzume pinned Kazashiro with the Ring A Bell (11:09).
3. Hiroyo Matsumoto & Yuki Arai defeated Yuna Manase & Toga when Matsumoto pinned Toga with the Rock Drop (12:21).
4. MLW Women’s World Featherweight Title: Shoko Nakajima (c) defeated Viva Van with the Diving Senton (12:58).
*V5 for Shoko Nakajima.
5. International Princess Title: Arisu Endo (c) defeated Uta Takami with the Camel Clutch (11:15).
*V2 for Arisu Endo.
-. Iron Man Heavymetalweight Title: Mahiro Kiryu defeated Rika Tatsumi (c) with a Title Belt Strike (1:11 pm).
*Mahiro Kiryu becomes the 1,782nd champion.
6. Princess Tag Team Titles: Yuki Kamifuku & Wakana Uehara (c) defeated HIMAWARI & Shino Suzuki when Uehara pinned Suzuki with the Sushi Tornado (16:38).
*V2 for Ober Eats.
7. Princess Of Princess Title: Miu Watanabe (c) defeated J-Rod with the Spinning Tear Drop (12:55).
*V2 for Miu Watanabe.

It’s not often that Miu Watanabe is given a bigger and stronger opponent to fight in Tokyo Joshi Pro but they brought in J-Rod, “The Ultimate Athlete” from America to be that just for her. J-Rod slammed Watanabe around until she found herself getting spun around the ring in the Giant Swing. That cheered Watanabe up into doing a muscle pose but J-Rod Power Bombed that joy out of her. She also hit the Ultimate Spear near the ropes but the time it took to pull Watanabe into the middle of the ring, she was able to recover enough to kick out of the pin. Watanabe countered a second Ultimate Spear into a Power Slam and immediately gave J-Rod the Spinning Tear Drop to get the three count and defend her Princess Of Princess Title. J-Rod looked at the bright side to take the sting out of her defeat. She worked so hard to get a Korakuen Hall main event because she was originally trained in the NJPW Academy by King Haku and his family. She picked up her admiration for Japanese wrestling from them so is very happy to be where she is right now and cannot wait for her next visit.

After the match Watanabe shook off the effects of being slammed by J-Rod and spoke to the fans about wanting to defend the Princess Title many times on the road to next March’s Sumo Hall show. Suzume then entered the ring and congratulated Watanabe on her victory. She said TJPW is the place where you can become whoever you want, like becoming a princess for example. She now wants to shine like Watanabe and has come out to challenge her for the Princess Title! Watanabe was so happy to hear that she started to cry because she thinks she shares many similiarities with Suzume. That then made Suzume start to cry. The two agreed to the match and it will take place at the 4th January Korakuen show!

It was time for Shino Suzuki to stand up for herself against Ober Eats and she was able to get under Wakana Uehara’s skin early. Early in the match Suzuki went into tour guide mode and presented Uehara to the audience as the woman who is going to pass the Princess Tag Team Titles over to Bumping gRitters. Uehara lost her cool and yelled she isn’t giving up the belts before hitting back at Suzuki. Yuki Kamifuku also decided to put her opponents in their place, shouting at them not to underestimate her before she delivered a Double Famouser to the gRitters. Uehara then took over and pinned Suzuki with the Sushi Tornado for a successful title defence. Despite the growing tension brewing between the two teams going into the match, Kamifuku hugged both of her opponents afterwards. Uehara wanted to do the same but Suzuki pushed her away. Backstage Kamifuku spoke highly of HIMAWARI in particular for giving it her all. She said Uehara must have felt like she was on her fourth bowl of curry fighting her. Uehara agreed but added in that she could eat six more. HIMAWARI consoled Suzuki in the meantime and told her they’re not done yet. Suzuki thanked HIMAWARI for teaming with her and her tears are only for today’s frustration. She isn’t going to be broken up over this for long.

By winning the Next Generation Tournament last month Uta Takami made a beeline straight for the International Princess Title held by Arisu Endo. She focused mainly on ways to cradle Endo into pins or attach herself onto her with the Koala Clutch. Endo’s use of Super Kicks and Knee Drops were downgraded when Takami also tried grabbing onto her leg. But Endo found a Breakthrough using the Waterwheel Drop and applied the Camel Clutch to make Takami give up. She describes Takami as being extremely competitive even if her confidence is not always high. She also thinks Takami is good at obeserving how other wrestlers move so she can use that ability to become stronger. As for any future challengers, Endo is feeling invincible right now and can defend the International Princess Title against anybody. Takami said she has definitely grown after her first title match although she isn’t sure what chapter of her story she is at right now. She has a homecoming match coming up soon and even though she won’t go back to Kanazawa as a champion she will be heading over still feeling proud of herself.

More international stakes could be found down the card when Shoko Nakajima had her latest defence of the MLW Women’s World Featherweight Title. This time her opponent was Viva Van who was making her return to TJPW for the first time since May (I haven’t paid any attention to if the VPW Women’s Title she won then is still active). The challenger had Nakajima scouted for the most part but when she went to go for the Hellevator, Nakajima escaped and stunned Van with a Hong Kong Spinning Elbow. She then used the Double Arm DDT followed by the Diving Senton to win. She praised Van for being an incredibly versatile wrestler who is capable of anything. She also has a few regrets over losing matches on her recent tour of Mexico so she wants to train more in order to get revenge next time. Van said this isn’t the end because she won’t be giving up. Japan is the start of a world tour she is taking on and she plans on rising to the top!

It is time for another team up between Hiroyo Matsumoto & Yuki Arai. The two of them taking on Hot Shot was also an opportunity for Matsumoto to match up against Yuna Manase while impressing the AKB48 idol Oda Erina over at the commentary table (they knew each other from Tofu Pro Wrestling). Toga was fired up to fight which then made Manase want to take Toga’s Elbow Strike to add extra damage to a Samoan Drop she was giving Matsumoto. Arai came in to give Manase the Scorpion Death Lock while Matsumoto put Toga in a Face Lock. Matsumoto then finished Toga off with the Rock Drop before going over to Erina with Arai to celebrate their victory. They’re now two wins for two as a tag team and already considering whether or not to make the Princess Tag Titles their goal. Toga feels she suffered an even cleaner loss to Matsumoto than she did back at “WRESTLE PRINCESS VI”. Manase told her it was important that they never lost their motivation during the match. Given how insular TJPW is, Toga should never take it for granted when she gets to wrestle people from the outside because it is valuable experience that should not go to waste. Hot Shot will debrief over this and do their best to become champions some day.

A rare 4 Way Tag Match was put together promising a lot of chaos in the ring. Raku & Pom Harajuku formed a giant heart with their arms and used it to trap Miyu Yamashita & Kaya Toribami ring around the rosie style. They then led a large Oyasumi Express where all of the other teams stepped over Yamashita & Toribami. Yuki Aino showed off her power by Side Suplexing both Mizuki & Suzume at the same time. She also briefly joined forces with Raku until Raku turned on her. Everything went mad with one wrestler after another fighting each other ending with Mizuki taking out Yamashita with a Spinning Diving Cross Body. With the ring emptied out, Suzume was able to pin Haru Kazashiro with the Ring A Bell. Harajuku called the match a scary dream so she and Raku should wake up and return to the real world for a bit. Aino thought her team were going to win until the very end but they’ve gained experience so next time they should try doing a 5 Way Tag! Yamashita told Toribami that you need to use your head to win multi-team Tag Matches but neither of them can do that. They have a 3 Way Tag coming up at next week’s SETUP tour of Japan and there will be a championship on the line so they cannot afford to lose. They’ll also be touring Thailand soon so they’re going to dominate over there too. Both Mizuki & Suzume had fun teaming with each other because they were able to move so freely together. Suzume said Mizuki always pushes her forward so that match gave her a lot of courage.

The opening 8-Woman Tag Match was missing a participant because Kira Summer caught a fever and had to miss the show on short notice. Rika Tatsumi, Chika Nanase & Ren Konatsu were told that they would be getting a replacement partner but the team showed up to the match without one. Hyper Misao thought that Tetsuya Koda wasn’t able to find anybody so her own team now had the numbers advantage. But when Misao’s team all put Tatsumi’s team in submission holds while Mifu Ashida was cheerleading around them, Tatsumi called out for “X” to help her. Suddenly the super substitute Ryo Mizunami appeared! She performed her full entrance though so the match continued while she was playing up to the fans. Then when she was finally ready, she couldn’t tell Kakeru Sekiguchi and Mahiro Kiryu apart. Tatsumi overcame an accidental strangulation of Mizunami to pin Ashida with the Twist Of Fate. Mizunami pushed her down after the match and Kiryu ran back into the ring to try and win the Iron Man Heavymetalweight Title from Tatsumi but failed when Tatsumi kicked out and ran off.

Then later backstage Tatsumi found who she thought was Kiryu by the stairs. She went over and choked her unconscious only to discover it was actually Sekiguchi she strangled! Kiryu then appeared behind Tatsumi, knocked her out with the Iron Man Title and then pinned her to become the champion again!

All Rise Press Conference, Ohka Challenges For Union MAX Title

November 5, 2025

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “ALL RISE ’25”, 09/11/2025
Tokyo Korakuen Hall

1. 4 Way Tag Match: Mizuki & Suzume Vs Miyu Yamashita & Kaya Toribami Vs Yuki Aino & Haru Kazashiro Vs Raku & Pom Harajuku
2. Rika Tatsumi, Kira Summer, Chika Nanase & Ren Konatsu Vs Hyper Misao, Kakeru Sekiguchi, Mahiro Kiryu & Mifu Ashida
3. Hiroyo Matsumoto & Yuki Arai Vs Yuna Manase & Toga
4. MLW Women’s World Featherweight Title: Shoko Nakajima (c) Vs Viva Van
5. International Princess Title: Arisu Endo (c) Vs Uta Takami
6. Princess Tag Team Titles: Yuki Kamifuku & Wakana Uehara (c) Vs HIMAWARI & Shino Suzuki
7. Princess Of Princess Title: Miu Watanabe (c) Vs J-Rod

A press conference was held yesterday to promote the three championship matches taking place next week. It was a chance for Miu Watanabe and J-Rod to get to know each other better before they fight over the Princess Of Princess Title. J-Rod spoke about how impressed she is by Watanabe’s strength despite looking so small next to herself. But pro wrestling is not a fairy tale and J-Rod has been preparing for the match like a beast. Watanabe admitted she always feels nervous when she has to fight foreign wrestlers but she wants to become stronger so she can defend the title at next year’s Ittenyon show and then after that, Sumo Hall in March. She is also confident she can Giant Swing J-Rod because she was able to do it on the cardboard dummy she made last week. J-Rod thought she was just being cute at the time but if Watanabe thinks she really can do it then J-Rod dares her to try. Also while J-Rod has been taking her diet seriously to prepare for the match, Watanabe has been eating chocolate for breakfast to increase her own cuteness points.

The Princess Tag Team Titles match puts a focus on three wrestlers from the 2023 Class all trying to catch up to each other. Shino Suzuki was happy to see Wakana Uehara win the title but also felt frustrated seeing her classmate move ahead. She felt the same way when Toga recently got a title shot too because at that point Suzuki was feeling left out with nothing to show for. But HIMAWARI has been by her side as a tag partner and the day came when Bumping gRitters came to life and challenged Ober Eats for the titles. HIMAWARI challenged for the belts once before and even teamed with Uehara for that match, so it gets to her seeing Uehara move on and win the belt without her. Uehara considers her opponents to be important friends because they all started together but she doesn’t want to stay at their level or lose the titles to them. She’s going to swallow Bumping gRitters whole! Yuki Kamkifuku finds the whole talk about classmates a bit boring, like when people think it is fate if they find out they have the same birthday. She has no intention of losing to a tourist guide or a long haired woman. Suzuki doesn’t like the way Kamifuku calls her weak so she wants to make her bow in apology.

Uta Takami got Arisu Endo to talk about ice cream while building up the International Princess Title bout. Takami is feeling lucky because every day she’s been buying a popsicle and today there was only one left and it was a chocolate coffee flavored Papico which made her really happy. Endo likes eating cookies & cream Häagen-Dazs which doesn’t suprise Takami because it is a high end and expensive ice cream. Endo thought she would be able to beat Takami 100 times out of 100 but after their recent matches she’s starting to think there is a one in a thousand chance she could lose. She notices how despite Takami’s lack of experience, she belives in herself and even walked into this press conference with her head held high. Takami then said she will continue her run of good luck later today when she goes to get the last chocolate coffee Papico again.

BASARA “BASARA 292 ~UTAGE~”, 18/11/2025
Shin-Kiba 1st RING

1. 3 Way Tag Match: Daichi Kazato & Yasu Urano Vs Takato Nakano & Masato Kamino Vs Takeru Inoue & Tomoki Hatano
2. Trans-Am ★ Hiroshi, Tsutomu Oosugi & Banana Senga Vs SAGAT, Lil’ Kraken & Minoru Fujita
3. Ryuichi Sekine & FUMA Vs Munetatsu Nakamura & Shota Kawakami
4. Takumi Tsukamoto Vs Daiki Shimomura
5. Union MAX Title: Ryota Nakatsu (c) Vs Ken Ohka

One of the last glimmers of light from Union Pro is hoping to take the title he never got to fight for. Ken Ohka believes he should deserve to be the Union MAX Champion just because they both originally came from the same promotion. It’s up to Ryota Nakatsu to show Ohka that the championship belongs to BASARA and will stay there.
