TOKYO JOSHI PRO “TJPW CITY CIRCUIT ~NAGOYA PERFORMANCE~”, 04/09/2022
Aichi Nagoya Congress Center Event Hall
1. Princess Tag Team Titles: Saki Akai & Yuki Arai (c) Vs Yuki Kamifuku & Mahiro Kiryu
The one piece of advice Mahiro Kiryu regularly gets is to show a more assertive side of herself. She always acts so apologetic and afraid to step on anybody’s toes. So to see her challenge Reiwa AA Cannon for the Princess Tag Team Titles despite having lost matches to Saki Akai & Yuki Arai earlier this year is a step in the right direction on that front. Yuki Kamifuku knew the day would come that Toyo Mates would challenge for the titles but didn’t expect it to be this soon. However she supports Kiryu showing more confidence in herself and will stand side by side with her against the champions.

8. KO-D Tag Team Titles: Kazusada Higuchi & Naomi Yoshimura (c) Vs HARASHIMA & Toru Owashi
The Exploding Death Match could be getting outshined by some of the new additions to the card. Harimao have been challenged by DISASTER BOX to defend the KO-D Tag Team Titles against them. Naomi Yoshimura made fun of Toru Owashi in response to this by saying he only has good matches once every four years. Owashi however is currently the Iron Man Heavymetalweight Champion and the O-40 Champion. It would make his year to win the tag titles with HARASHIMA and become a triple crown champion in DDT!
DDT “STERNNESS 30TH ANNIVERSARY ~JUN AKIYAMA 30TH ANNIVERSARY~”, 18/09/2022
Tokyo Korakuen Hall
1. Jun Akiyama Debut 30th Anniversary Match – Special 6-Man Tag Match: Jun Akiyama, Tetsuya Endo & Yoshinobu Kanemaru Vs Yuji Nagata, Konosuke Takeshita & Shunma Katsumata
Old and new generations of BURNING are being represented in Jun Akiyama’s 30th Anniversary match. Endo is from the current version of BURNING while Yoshinobu Kanemaru comes from the original and third editions of the unit. Akiyama also gave his reasons for choosing his opponents. Yuji Nagata has been an important figure throughout Akiyama’s career, Konosuke Takeshita learned the Jumping Knee Strike from Akiyama and Katsumata reminds Akiyama so much of Kanemaru.

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “TOKYO PRINCESS CUP”, 13/08/2022
Tokyo Korakuen Hall
444 Fans
1. Shoko Nakajima defeated Kaya Toribami with the Northern Lights Suplex (9:23).
2. Hikari Noa & Nao Kakuta defeated Yuki Aino & Raku when Kakuta pinned Raku with the Shiden Kai (9:15).
3. Mei Suruga defeated Arisu Endo with the Gateau Invisible (12:09).
4. 3 Way Match: Rika Tatsumi defeated Mizuki and Hyper Misao when Tatsumi pinned Misao with the Twist Of Fate (10:08).
5. Max The Impaler defeated Pom Harajuku with a Short Range Lariat (4:39).
6. Yuki Kamifuku, Mahiro Kiryu & Haruna Neko defeated Saki Akai, Yuki Arai & Moka Miyamoto when Kiryu pinned Arai with the Spinebuster (12:35).
7. Tokyo Princess Cup – Semi Final: Yuka Sakazaki defeated Suzume with the Magical Merry-Go-Round (11:56).
8. Tokyo Princess Cup – Semi Final: Miu Watanabe defeated Miyu Yamashita with the Tear Drop (18:23).
This year’s Tokyo Princess Cup is being built around the young generation wanting to surpass their seniors. Miu Watanabe has been leading the charge and it has taken her all the way to the final! She defeated Miyu Yamashita in a year where it looked like the Tokyo Joshi Pro ace had finally figured out how to win the tournament. Watanabe showed great toughness by taking a German Suplex and a High Kick only to duck the Skull Kick and drop Yamashita with the Tear Drop for the three count. Rika Tatsumi rushed over to Watanabe after the match to congratulate her and Yamashita shook her hand. Backstage Yamashita said when she looked into Watanabe’s eyes she realized how intense the last four years they spent working together was. She was overwhelmed by both her own strength as well as Watanabe’s. She is extremely disappointed to lose but also sees how passionate the younger wrestlers are becoming. That there is now a generational battle going on in TJPW means the promotion has built up a lot of history and that shows how much it has grown.
The other semi final saw Yuka Sakazaki eliminate Suzume, ending the younger wrestler’s Cinderella run in the tournament. Suzume’s plan was to go for quick covers and high flying moves. But the big momentum shift of the match happened when Sakazaki gave her the Tea Time. From there she hit an impactful Sliding Lariat before pinning her with the Magical Merry-Go-Round. Suzume heard Sakazaki’s previous comments about her not being a threat. But Suzume thinks she was a dangerous opponent for Sakazaki after all. When they were in the ring, Suzume forgot about the tournament because she couldn’t stand losing to the person in front of her.
Tomorrow’s final has come down to Watanabe against Sakazaki. Watanabe told Sakazaki she wants to surpass her and win the tournament. Sakazaki said she cannot lose because she’s been competing in the Princess Cup longer than Watanabe has wrestled and never won it. She will see her tomorrow and the two gave each other a fist bump. It took Watanabe four years to finally catch up to Yamashita and if she wins tomorrow it means she has beaten TJPW’s top three wrestlers in the same tournament (Sakazaki, Yamashita and Shoko Nakajima). Sakazaki has called this year’s Princess Cup a grueling competition because the younger wrestlers are showing a lot of guts. She hopes it will turn the Tokyo Princess Cup into the can’t miss tournament of the summer!
The next challengers for the Princess Tag Team Titles have been decided after Mahiro Kiryu pinned Yuki Arai in a 6-Woman Tag Match. Yuki Kamifuku & Haruna Neko dealt with Saki Akai & Moka Miyamoto so Kiryu could pin Arai with the Spinebuster. She politely asked Reiwa AA Cannon for a title shot even though she lost to them before and also lost to Arai in the Princess Cup. Akai accepted the challenge. Kiryu then apologized to Kamifuku for not getting her permission to ask for the title match. Kamifuku admitted she is surprised by Kiryu’s actions but hoped this day would come because she wants Kiryu to be more assertive. Kiryu later revealed she dyed her hair “iron blue” today to match the Toyo University colours. It shows how much she wants Toyo Mates to succeed.
Nobody was more terrified of Max The Impaler than Pom Harajuku. She had the unfortunate task of being Max’s first opponent in Japan and Max did not even wait for the bell to ring to get started. Harajuku was able to leave the ring and tried to run away but she was persuaded by Yuki Aino and Raku to continue the match. Her Shin Kicks worked a little bit but Max ended up winning with a Short Range Lariat, shouting “bye bye” to Harajuku before hitting the move.
The 3 Way Match tried to play up a potential love triangle between the trio involved. Hyper Misao brought out a picture of Tatsumi and admitted she has feelings for her. Tatsumi rejected her with a kick because she wanted to be with Mizuki instead. Mizuki stood by Tatsumi’s side but only so she had the numbers advantage. She betrayed Tatsumi when the opportunity presented itself. Misao brought out a spray can to blind her opponents. Tatsumi grabbed it but accidentally sprayed both Mizuki and the referee by mistake. But since the ref was temporarily blinded, Tatsumi hit Misao with the can without penalty and then pinned her with the Twist Of Fate.
Mei Suruga’s return to TJPW pitted her against a familiar opponent. She and Arisu Endo previously fought each other at “SUMMER SUN PRINCESS ’22” last month. Suruga won the match here by making Endo submit to the Gateau Invisible. Endo hesitated to shake her hand after the match so Suruga gave her a heavy pat on the head.
A stretcher was used during Match #2 when Free WiFi tried to carry Raku with it out of the arena. However Hikari Noa & Nao Kakuta couldn’t decide on which direction to go so they dropped Raku onto the floor instead. They got back on the same page when Noa stopped Raku from doing the Doctor Yellow to Kakuta. Then Kakuta pinned Raku with the Shiden Kai.
The reigning Princess Of Princess Champion found herself wrestling in the opening match after getting eliminated midway through the Princess Cup. She took on Kaya Toribami, who she’s been friends with since before Toribami became a pro wrestler. A lot of the match was kept on the mat with submission holds but picked up the pace until Nakajima hit the 619 and then the Northern Lights Suplex for the victory.

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “SUMMER SUN PRINCESS ’22”, 09/07/2022
Tokyo Ota Ward Gymnasium
1,130 Fans
1. Moka Miyamoto defeated Juria Nagano with the Rashomon (4:58).

7. Special Single Match: Miyu Yamashita defeated Thunder Rosa with a Cradle (13:39).

9. Princess Of Princess Title: Shoko Nakajima (c) defeated Rika Tatsumi with the Diving Senton (19:23).
*V4 for Shoko Nakajima.
Not even a White Dragon going crazy can stop the Big Kaiju right now. In front of over a thousand fans allowed to cheer, Shoko Nakajima defeated Rika Tatsumi to defend the Princess Of Princess Title. Tatsumi promised to be more determined than ever to win and proved it by doing the Missile Hip from the top rope to Nakajima outside the ring. However her attempt to lean back with the Dragon Sleeper for leverage backfired when Nakajima rolled out to free herself from the move. The champion turned the tables from there, used a Double Arm DDT and pinned Tatsumi with the Diving Senton. She called her opponent strong after the match and looks forward to meeting her down the road again. Nakajima then thanked the fans for their cheers because it gives the wrestlers more energy than we think. She praised the roster for being great and wants Tokyo Joshi Pro to grow even more. While Tatsumi is upset over losing, she feels strange because it hasn’t broken her heart. Instead it made her love pro wrestling again.
The supernova rise of Yuki Arai continues with the “genius girl” winning her first championship in TJPW! Her team with Saki Akai was the force that finally broke The Magical Sugar Rabbits and ended their Princess Tag Team Titles reign. At first Arai looked to be out of her depth against the champions but once she got to show off her teamwork with Akai it turned out they had MagiRabi well scouted. Together they blocked one of the Toy Story double team attacks and Arai threw Mizuki off the top rope with the Full Nelson Buster. Akai was also too tall for Yuka Sakazaki to give the Magical Merry-Go-Round to. Mizuki tried to intervene until she was struck in the back of the head with Arai’s Finally kick. Arai went for the move a second time and Sakazaki took the bullet after pushing Mizuki out of harm’s way. Reiwa AA Cannon then took inspiration from the one achievement they both share by performing a Double Rookie Award to Mizuki. Akai then pinned Mizuki for the title change while Arai held Sakazaki back.
Akai admits that they wouldn’t have been able to beat MagiRabi 99 times out of 100. It was Arai’s luck that made today the 1 time they were going to win. Akai thought she was going to be leading the team but her tag partner supported her more than she realised. Now they have the Princess Tag Titles there will be many teams chasing after them. Akai tells Arai this is the hard part because they now have to run further ahead of everyone else. Arai said she feels the weight of carrying the title belt because she is also carrying the history of the previous champions. She wants to be somebody who won’t be ashamed of holding this title. She also can’t wait to show the belt to all the fans of SKE48.
In the days leading up to the show, Thunder Rosa sent a message to TJPW saying if Miyu Yamashita could beat her today then she will give her a AEW Women’s Title shot back in America. The new stakes added more to Rosa’s anticipated return to TJPW for the first time in two and a half years. Yamashita hit the Skull Kick but she couldn’t get the three count with a rope break. She then went for the Attitude Adjustment but Rosa countered it into a Cradle. Yamashita suddenly reversed the Cradle and got a three count out of nowhere to win the match! Rosa said she now knows what to do because she isn’t going to let the AEW Women’s Title be taken away from her like the International Princess Title was. Whenever Yamashita is back in America, she knows where to find Rosa to get her title match. Yamashita said having the home field advantage was why she won today. She would like to have the rematch against Rosa in America but wants to fight that match for herself, not as a representative for TJPW.
England’s Alex Windsor had some bad luck travelling to Japan because she lost her gear and luggage on the way over. However she must be all smiles after today because she beat Maki Itoh to become the new International Princess Champion! Itoh fought big by using an Avalanche DDT but missed the Flying Big Head. Windsor fought back with her own big moves by using a Liger Bomb and another Power Bomb as a counter. She then put Itoh away with a Modified Fisherman Buster called the GTF to win the title. Windsor says she is taking over the world and will take the IP Title where ever she wants to. Meanwhile a sad Itoh is left asking herself why is she always so weak? She has an overseas tour coming up in August so she knows she has to fight more different wrestlers from around the world. She is also upset she couldn’t live up to the expectations of the fans who could now cheer for her today.
The first match for MeiBee Surprise was a success for Mei Suruga & Suzume. They were paired against two opponents who are very close to them. Suruga and Riho have a lot of history together while Suzume regularly teams with Arisu Endo as Daisy Monkey. The match came down to Suzume against Endo. Suzume came out on top after hitting the Ring A Bell on her friend. Riho said she was excited to have the match because it was her first time wrestling in Japan for 9 months. Suzume described the match as a red string getting all tangled up because she has attachments to everyone involved. She also said she will continue fighting to surpass Suruga. You’d think Suruga would see that as a threat but she just laughed it off.
Previous opponents Hikaru Shida & Hikari Noa were now teaming together on today’s show. Together they brushed off Toyo Mates even when they attempted to fight fire with fire. Mahiro Kiryu stopped Noa from using a chair but then tried using the same chair on Shida. That was blocked and Shida pinned her with the Arawashi Driver. Yuki Kamifuku gave encouragement to Kiryu afterwards, telling her life goes by fast and can be over in the blink of an eye. They can become strong people who can take a beating together. Noa said she had a lot of time to think about her previous match with Shida. She enjoyed today’s match more than anything and was happy to use weapons with Shida again. Shida thinks she made a good start in her quest to wreck havoc in TJPW with her appearances so far. She doesn’t know who she will face next but is looking forward to coming back here.
It doesn’t matter if her opponent was changed on short notice. Somebody was going to get a Giant Swing from Miu Watanabe! That somebody happened to be Ryo Mizunami. Watanabe had to work hard for it though because her veteran opponent put her through the wringer with Chops, slams and Lariats. Mizunami gained the upper hand with a Spear and never let go of the momentum, finishing off Watanabe with the Hot Limit. She praised Watanabe, saying she was blown away by her opponent’s power. It doesn’t matter if she is an idol with less experience in the ring, when Watanabe enters through those ropes she is a pro wrestler! Mizunami also appreciated the warm reception she got from the TJPW fans. Watanabe also gave credit to the fans for pushing her on. Even when she was hurt, the fans calling her name made her want to do her best. She achieved her goal to give Mizunami the Giant Swing. Her ultimate goal is to do that to Aja Kong!
Speaking of Kong, she was happy to be back in TJPW. Yuki Aino & Pom Harajuku in particular were surprised to see Kong give Raku a big hug during their entrance all together. Hyper Misao also welcomed Kong back and was nice to her. But that was because Misao wanted to swap teams and be on Kong’s side instead of being her opponent. Misao later sprayed Kong’s face but its effects didn’t last long. Kong wiped out Nao Kakuta & Haruna Neko with a Double Lariat, giving Aino the space to beat Kaya Toribami with the Venus DDT. Misao later said she would like to fight Kong again. Her tag partners are not as enthusiastic over the idea.
The opening match was special for Moka Miyamoto and Juria Nagano because it was the first time they got to experience wrestling in front of a cheering crowd. Nagano used a new combination of kicks but still went back to the Brazilian Kick late in the match. Miyamoto eventually got her in the Rashomon to earn the submission victory. She was glad to win because she knows she would lose to Nagano in a Karate bout. But this is pro wrestling and Miyamoto is more experienced than her here.
There will be a collaboration between TJPW and Idolmaster Cinderella Girls. Two of the characters in the game Akane Hino & Yuko Hori will receive costumes based on the ring gear Yuki Arai and Maki Itoh wore for their IP Title match from “GRAND PRINCESS ’22”. In return, Arai and Itoh will soon receive real life costumes based on Hino & Hori to wear for portraits and other related merchandise.
“GO GIRL 3” will be held at Korakuen Hall on 28th August. It is a show for only women in the audience and admission will be free. There will also be a brand new logo for Tokyo Joshi Pro unveiled at the show.
“The Non-Binary Nightmare” Max The Impaler will make their TJPW debut on the 13th & 14th August Korakuen Hall shows. If there is anything you need to know about Max it this. They hate idols!

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “TJPW CITY CIRCUIT ~FUKUOKA PERFORMANCE~”, 26/06/2022
Fukuoka Nishitetsu Hall
270 Fans – Super No Vacancy Full House
1. Moka Miyamoto defeated Kaya Toribami with the Rashomon (6:13).
2. One Spray OK Rule Match: Hyper Misao defeated Arisu Endo with the Hypami Returns (8:02).
3. Hikari Noa & Nao Kakuta defeated Suzume & Haruna Neko when Noa pinned Neko with the Blizzard Suplex (9:35).
4. 3 Way Match: Rika Tatsumi defeated Yuki Kamifuku and Raku when Tatsumi pinned Taku with the Missile Hip (7:20).
5. Yuka Sakazaki, Mizuki & Mahiro Kiryu defeated Miu Watanabe, Pom Harajuku & Yuki Arai when Sakazaki pinned Harajuku with the Magical Merry-Go-Round (13:13).
6. Miyu Yamashita & Maki Itoh defeated Shoko Nakajima & Yuki Aino when Yamashita pinned Aino with the Skull Kick (16:35).
121000000 were the hometown heroes in Fukuoka today. The last time Tokyo Joshi Pro were in the area was March 2019 so Miyu Yamashita & Maki Itoh were both at their most motivated to do their best. They linked up to hit their big High Kick/Headbutt Sandwich to both Shoko Nakajima & Yuki Aino. Yamashita then finished Aino off with the Skull Kick. Itoh told the fans they were able to win because of Fukuoka power. Yamashita now believes she & Itoh have no limits as a tag team. Backstage Itoh suggested the next time TJPW comes to Fukuoka, 121000000 should get a Princess Tag Team Titles match.
Speaking of the Tag Titles, The Magical Sugar Rabbits got a little preview match against one of their next challengers Yuki Arai. This was the second day in a row Yuka Sakazaki fought her. She praised Arai for showing guts and a competitive spirit this weekend. It makes Sakazaki wonder what the matches would have been like if Saki Akai was there too. Mizuki is determined to beat Reiwa no AA Cannon so she can go one step closer towards achieving her dream to defend the Tag Titles in outer space! Arai later revealed she has relatives living in Fukuoka and they got to see her wrestle.
Hyper Misao and Arisu Endo agreed to a rule change for their match. They were both allowed one spray attack each without penalty. Misao did it first but Endo returned the attack later in the match. A ref bump gave Misao an opportunity to spray Endo a second time. Endo kept fighting and escaped from the Chickenwing Face Lock but Misao ended up beating her anyway with the Hypami Returns.

The identity of Chris Brookes’ tag partner on 3rd July will be revealed during tomorrow’s show. The clues so far are it is a foreign wrestler but, to my surprise, it is not somebody Brookes is already an acquaintance with. So that means it is not Drew Parker or a Kid Lykos or like 90% of the British wrestling scene for that matter. Brookes himself is trying to find out before the show takes place and is badgering Sanshiro Takagi online to at least send him a LINE message about it. Takagi has also said it is not Joey Janela making an early appearance, meaning it is a sign there are more foreign wrestlers coming to DDT this year.

6. KO-D Openweight Title – King Of DDT 2022 – Final: X Vs X
The four remaining wrestlers in King Of DDT gave their thoughts going into the final rounds. Yuki Ueno wants to use his skills to spread DDT across the world and this tournament is his chance to do that. Naomi Yoshimura credits his size advantage for getting through the first two rounds. He is also letting those results speak for themselves rather than fighting on behalf of the people he has defeated like the others. Kazusada Higuchi wants to win the vacant KO-D Openweight Title and become DDT’s symbol of strength while he waits for Tetsuya Endo to return. Jun Akiyama just said now is the time for DDT to show their strength and he will lead the charge.

8. Princess Tag Team Titles: Yuka Sakazaki & Mizuki (c) Vs Saki Akai & Yuki Arai
9. Princess Of Princess Title: Shoko Nakajima (c) Vs Rika Tatsumi
Rika Tatsumi is excited for her main event match because she gets to fight on the stage of her dreams. She wants to make Shoko Nakajima feel the same way and have a crazy match for the Princess Of Princess Title. Tatsumi is hoping to discover a side of herself she has never seen before. Nakajima senses TJPW is getting momentum and she wants to stay at the forefront of it. She can tell Tatsumi wants to be in the same position so she is really looking forward to the match.
A fresh new challenge has appeared for The Magical Sugar Rabbits, even if there is something vaguely familiar with it. I don’t know, I can’t help but feel like I’ve seen this scenario develop three times already… Yuka Sakazaki thinks the Princess Tag Team Titles are characterized by a wide variety of matches and Mizuki wants to make them even more valuable. Reiwa AA Cannon are fitting opponents for those reasons because it is two high profile women teaming together. Yuki Arai feels blessed to be surrounded by wonderful senpais and wants to make the most out of her opportunities. Winning the Tag Titles is not her ultimate goal in wrestling but is part of the process. Saki Akai thinks she needs to get to know Arai better because this will only be their third time teaming together. Their opponents have been strongly bonded together by friendship for years!

However Onryo & YuuRI will be joined by a third person. Munenori Sawa will be in their corner. He’s been officially retired from pro wrestling for years now but he’ll find some excuse to get physically involved in the match without breaking his commitment to stay retired.

5. Special Tag Match: MAO & Shunma Katsumata Vs Chris Brookes & X
6. KO-D Openweight Title – King Of DDT 2022 – Final: X Vs X
The King Of DDT final four are Kazusada Higuchi, Jun Akiyama, Yuki Ueno and Naomi Yoshimura. The semi-finals divide them into two existing rivalries. Higuchi and Akiyama put aside their past differences to work as a functional tag team at “CYBERFIGHT FESTIVAL 2022” but the premature ending to that match left that loose thread up in the air. Both have promised to become the KO-D Openweight Champion on behalf of Tetsuya Endo and carry on in his place while he is injured. Ueno and Yoshimura have become rivals since their tag team Nautilus split up. Yoshimura has beaten Ueno in all of their previous singles matches.
A mystery wrestler is teaming up with Chris Brookes to take on MAO & Shunma Katsumata? Who could it be? Maybe it’s a certain Welshman who Brookes and The 37KAMIINA have been in the ring with before. No, not CdawgVA!

The complete card for “SUMMER SUN PRINCESS ’22” was revealed today. The Magical Sugar Rabbits have been challenged by Reiwa AA Cannon for the Princess Tag Team Titles. Special guests from AEW feature up and down the show with the big match being Thunder Rosa Vs Miyu Yamashita in a first time meeting. Riho pops up to team with Arisu Endo against Mei Suruga & Suzume. Previous opponents Hikaru Shida & Hikari Noa are now on the same team as they take on the newly renamed Toyo Mates. There is going to be so much joy and power on show when Miu Watanabe and Willow Nightingale are in the same ring together. Aja Kong has her first match back in Tokyo Joshi Pro since October. Karate meets Karate when Moka Miyamoto faces Juria Nagano.
A challenger has been found for Maki Itoh. Over in England this past weekend, Alex Windsor won the SHE-1 tournament in Pro Wrestling: EVE. During her victory speech, she called out Itoh and demanded a shot at the International Princess Title! Itoh received the message and accepted the challenge so Windsor will soon be on her way to Japan.
DDT “WRESTLE PETER PAN 2022”, 20/08/2022
Tokyo Ota Ward Gymnasium
1. Shinichiro Kawamatsu Debut Match: Shinichiro Kawamatsu Vs X
2. International Special Hardcore Match: Joey Janela Vs Shunma Katsumata
3. DDT Universal Title: Masahiro Takanashi (c) Vs X
4. KO-D Openweight Title: KO-D Champion (c) Vs X
The tycoon of America’s indie scene finally arrives in DDT! Joey Janela has long been sought after by Sanshiro Takagi going back to the Social Distancing match GCW held very early into the pandemic. He will be arriving in Japan a week earlier but his first confirmed match is taking place at “WRESTLE PETER PAN 2022”. He takes on Katsumata in a Hardcore Match. Since Janela is nicknamed “The Bad Boy”, Katsumata is now calling himself “The Happy Boy”.
Shinichiro Kawamatsu is returning to DDT to have a proper debut pro wrestling match. The politician wasn’t satisfied with his previous wrestling match relying on his bodyguard only to get beaten into submission once he had to fight for himself. So he is finding time during his political duties to train for a proper match. He actively trains in Jiu Jitsu so he already has some martial arts experience to lean on.

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “ADDITIONAL ATTACK ’22”, 19/06/2022
Tokyo Korakuen Hall
525 Fans
1. Kaya Toribami defeated Arisu Endo with a Cradle (7:38).
2. Yuki Kamifuku & Mahiro Kiryu defeated Nao Kakuta & Haruna Neko when Kamifuku pinned Neko with the Famouser (10:11).
3. 3 Way Match: Yuki Aino defeated Raku and Pom Harajuku when Aino pinned Harajuku with the Venus DDT (7:11).
4. Miu Watanabe defeated Juria Nagano with the Candian Backbreaker (7:22).
5. Saki Akai & Yuki Arai defeated Miyu Yamashita & Moka Miyamoto when Arai pinned Miyamoto with the Finally (14:26).
6. Rika Tatsumi & Suzume defeated Maki Itoh & Hikari Noa when Tatsumi pinned Noa with the Missile Hip (12:59).
7. Princess Tag Team Titles: Yuka Sakazaki & Mizuki (c) defeated Shoko Nakajima & Hyper Misao when Sakazaki pinned Misao with the Magical Merry-Go-Round (19:03).
*V5 for the Magical Sugar Rabbits.
One week ago Shoko Nakajima successfully defended the Princess Of Princess Title against Yuka Sakazaki. Today Sakazaki evened the score by successfully defending the Princess Tag Team Titles with Mizuki against Nakajima & Hyper Misao. The challengers Kyoraku Kyomei pulled every trick they could think of to try and win the belts. They tried spraying foam at them, tried crashing bikes into them and even tried out-wrestling them. But The Magical Sugar Rabbits kept their cool and Sakazaki ended up pinning Misao with the Magical Merry-Go-Round.
Mizuki is pleased to reach her 5th defence in this reign. Even though the championships are remaining in the status quo, she thinks the value of the Tag Titles have increased which only makes her want to defend it more and more. Yuki Arai then entered the ring and threw out a challenge. She wants herself and Saki Akai to be the next opponents for MagiRabi! Arai has only been wrestling for a year but within that time she got to see so many cool things from Sakazaki, Mizuki & Akai up close. It drives her to become stronger and challenge for the titles.
Rika Tatsumi is building up her momentum for her Princess Title shot at “SUMMER SUN PRINCESS ’22” next month. She & Suzume defeated Maki Itoh & Hikari Noa in the semi-main event. Tatsumi was able to cut off Noa with the Hip Attack, followed up with the Twist Of Fate and won with the Missile Hip. Noa & Itoh argued afterwards when Noa admitted to lying about wanting to team with Itoh. Tatsumi & Suzume however described their own teamwork as perfect. Today is the second time this month they teamed up and they are currently unbeaten together.
Reiwa AA Cannon can point to their win over Miyu Yamashita & Moka Miyamoto as their qualification to be the No. 1 Contenders for the Tag Titles. Akai hit Yamashita with the Quetzalcoatl to take her out of the running. Miyamoto still put up a fight on her own but Arai eventually got the better of her and struck the Finally to win. Akai had to leave the building shortly afterwards for another booking but gave Arai her blessing to to go ahead and challenge MagiRabi at the end of the show.
A big challenge lay ahead for Juria Nagano when she took on Miu Watanabe. She put up a good fight but the expected result happened when Watanabe lifted her up into the Canadian Backbreaker and held on until Nagano gave up. Watanabe later found out she is going to be Willow Nightingale’s debut opponent on 9th July. It will be Watanabe’s first ever singles match against a foreign wrestler. It makes her nervous but she will do her best to introduce herself to Nightingale with power and a smile.
The 3 Way Match turned into a bit of a love triangle with Yuki Aino and Pom Harajuku fighting over Raku’s affection. It was caused when Aino decided to join forces with Raku instead of Harajuku for the 2-on-1 advantage. Harajuku fought back by grabbing a homemade photobook of Raku pictures and using it to lure Aino away from the real Raku. Aino took control of the match until Harajuku came back trying to steal pins. Raku and Harajuku collided together and Aino dropped Harajuku with the Venus DDT for the win.
Toyo University Tag teamed up for the first time in a while to take on Nao Kakuta & Haruna Neko. It was a worthwhile reunion because they won with flying colours. Yuki Kamifuku & Mahiro Kiryu landed a Big Boot/Spinebuster combo on Kakuta. Kamifuku then went on to pin Neko with the Famouser. Backstage Kamifuku talked about how exciting Tokyo Joshi Pro has been lately. She thinks it is time for her & Kiryu to update their tag team name. She told Kiryu to think of a new name on the spot. Kiryu came up with Toyo Mates because she wanted to keep Toyo in the name.
It took over a year but Kaya Toribami has finally won her first singles match! At first it looked like Arisu Endo had her beaten with a Camel Clutch. But when she readjusted the hold to pull Toribami away from the ropes, a series of Cradles began and ended with Toribami getting the three count. Toribami said she is really happy to finally win under her own power and without relying on teammates. She wants to fight more on an even footing against her seniors. Endo is disappointed to be the first person Toribami has beaten. She learned the lesson that she lost because she was not careful.
Miyu Yamashita is getting a major opponent at Ota Ward Gymnasium on 9th July. She will take on Thunder Rosa from AEW! It will be Rosa’s first match in TJPW since January 2020 when she won the International Princess Title from Itoh. She wasn’t able to return because of the covid pandemic and eventually vacated the title. Yamashita is really looking forward to facing the current AEW Women’s Champion because they haven’t wrestled each other before.

Hyper Misao feels inspired after watching their match yesterday and now wants the Tag Title match to be so good that other wrestlers will be proud of her.

Mizuki is disappointed she wasn’t able to win the No. 1 Contender 4 Way Match but she is committed to protecting the Tag Titles with Sakazaki.
Reiwa AA Cannon are reunited to take on The Karate Girls. This past April was the first time Saki Akai & Yuki Arai teamed together. They won their first match and are now facing tougher competition in the form of Miyu Yamashita & Moka Miyamoto.

3. Princess Of Princess Title: Shoko Nakajima (c) Vs Rika Tatsumi
Rika Tatsumi won the No. 1 Contender 4 Way despite being unprepared for that type of match. In hindsight she wishes she planned more strategies like hiding outside the venue to get some rest while her other three opponents kept fighting. However winning the match has given her confidence and she is now ready to be the Princess Of Princess Champion again. Right now she feels invincible with no enemies or blind spots holding her back. Part of her motivation to win is so she can become a crazy champion that will stir up TJPW.
A foreign wrestler will be invited over by TJPW to challenge Maki Itoh for the International Princess Title. If Itoh wins this match she will break the record for most IP Title defences in a single reign. She is currently tied at four defences with Hikari Noa.
Mei Suruga & Suzume are now confirmed to have a tag match together on the show. Suzume promises she will have a new outfit for the match.

3. MAO & Yusuke Okada Vs HARASHIMA & Chris Brookes
4. Tetsuya Endo, Jun Akiyama & Yuki Ishida Vs Kazusada Higuchi, Yukio Sakaguchi & Hideki Okatani
5. Kaji Tomato & Naomi Yoshimura Vs Yuki Ueno & Shunma Katsumata
6. Special Single Match: Daisuke Sasaki Vs Hiroshi Yamato
7. ONLY WE x DDT Special 6-Man Tag Match – No DQ Match: Yuji Hino, Yukio Naya & Quiet Storm Vs Shogun Okamoto, Akira Raijin & Hoshitango
DDT hosts the next chapter of the ONLY WE Vs PERON GRANDES feud. In April a brawl that happened after a main event between the two units led to challenges for a No DQ Match to be held in June. Naya is backing up ONLY WE while PERON GRANDES seem to have recruited Hoshitango to their side.
Former DAMNATION allies Daisuke Sasaki and Hiroshi Yamato are pitted against each other. Yamato was the only person to stand up for Sasaki during the DAMNATION mutiny of 2020. I think this will be their first match of any kind together since the DAMNATION break up last year.

1. Princess Tag Team Titles: Yuka Sakazaki & Mizuki (c) Vs Shoko Nakajima & Hyper Misao
The tag team of Kyoraku Kyomei is as powerful as they’ve ever been thanks to their Princess Of Princess Title match that took place this month. Shoko Nakajima & Hyper Misao are now even more of a united force and ready to take the Princess Tag Team Titles from The Magical Sugar Rabbits. This was Misao’s idea and Nakajima is going ahead with it confident she will end up as the first person in Tokyo Joshi Pro to hold two Princess Championships at the same time. Mizuki accepted the challenge without Yuka Sakazaki’s consent but Sakazaki quickly changed her opinion and is committed to the title defence.
Speaking of Sakazaki, it was announced today she will be wrestling Masha Slamovich at PWG in California on 3rd July! Konosuke Takeshita will be in a PWG World Title match against the champion Daniel Garcia on the same show.

Today was a new chapter for Kyoraku Kyomei. It was their first time teaming together in three months and since then Shoko Nakajima defended the Princess Of Princess Title against Hyper Misao. They showed they are still on the same page by beating Mizuki & Arisu Endo in the main event. Misao said this new and improved version of Kyoraku Kyomei feels comfortable and she is convinced they are the best tag team in Tokyo Joshi Pro history! So without consulting Nakajima, Misao asked for a Princess Tag Team Titles match against the Magical Sugar Rabbits. Even though Yuka Sakazaki was absent, Mizuki accepted the challenged (Sakazaki watched the show live from America and her tweets quickly went from “Refuse!” to “I’ll do it!”). Nakajima asked for the match to take place at Korakuen Hall on 19th June, a week after “CYBERFIGHT FESTIVAL 2022”. She promised to become TJPW’s first Double Crown Princess Champion!
Both Miyu Yamashita and Maki Itoh commented on their upcoming trip to America for Prestige Wrestling at the end of the month. Itoh will be defending the International Princess Title against Mia Yim on the 28th May show in Portland, Oregon. She said she wants to crush the former NXT wrestler to increase the value of her championship. The belt has been waiting for her so Itoh promises to do her best so she can come back to Japan with her heart held high. Yamashita’s opponent on the 28th is Masha Slamovich. Yamashita describes her as a ferocious opponent from Impact Wrestling so she wants to kick her ass. Yamashita and Itoh will face each other on the second Prestige show taking place the next night.
English wrestler “The Unbreakable” Rhio will begin her first tour of TJPW on 29th May as part of the company’s relationship with Pro Wrestling EVE. Rhio is 25 years old, born in Lancashire and been wrestling for seven years. She is 163cm tall, weighs 70kg and has a background in both Karate and Taekwondo. She will be the first foreign wrestler to enter TJPW in two and a half years.
