9. “Futari wa Princess” Max Heart Tournament – Final: Shoko Nakajima & Hyper Misao defeated Max The Impaler & Pom Harajuku when Nakajima pinned Harajuku with the Diving Senton (12:29).

It took five years for Kyoraku Kyomei to clear their quest. The last remaining team to have competed in every Max Heart Tournament to date have finally won it! The crowd in Korakuen Hall laughed when Hyper Misao told them before the match that she and Shoko Nakajima would win the final with a pure heart. Max The Impaler then attacked them before Misao could finish her promo. Misao quickly brought out the Hyper Mobile and charged into Max but Max moved out of the way and Misao crashed into Mahiro Kiryu instead. Max threw Nakajima around the room while Pom Harajuku got to reverse things by using Max as a weapon instead of the other way around. Nakajima used her surroundings to her advantage by hitting Max with a flying kick from a nearby railing. Misao then cycled the Hyper Mobile down the aisle and successfully crashed it into Max. Harajuku was left to fight Nakajima back in the ring by herself. She blocked the Locomotion Northern Lights Suplex and hit back with the Pom de Justice. But Nakajima got the better of her, getting the win with the Diving Senton while Misao got Max outside the ring with the I Am A Hero.

Nakajima told Misao after the match that ever since Kyoraku Kyomei was formed she’s had so much fun. But it was also frustrating for all of the times they couldn’t win their big matches. They finally made it to the top but she still feels a thorn in her heart. They lost to 121000000 in the Max Heart final two years ago and she still hates that it happened. She wants to get revenge by winning the Princess Tag Team Titles from them at “GRAND PRINCESS ’25”! Misao agreed and told her 121000000 will be defending the titles in Chile this weekend. Their message to the champs is if they lose the belts overseas then they are banned from returning to Japan! Harajuku told Max they weren’t able to win but thanks to this tournament Pompaler have become even closer. So in a way she already has a “Max Heart” she can cherish!

“The Spark” made her way back to Japan in the hopes of winning some gold. Jada Stone had Suzume’s moveset scouted, countering the Mikazuki Meteor Shower into a Samoan Drop and also turning the Ring-A-Bell into the Gory Special submission hold. However Suzume saw that Stone’s guard was down during the backflip that was meant to lead into the Spark Stunner so she stopped her momentum with a Dropkick to the back. From there Suzume was able to hit the Ring-A-Bell and win her first International Princess Title defence. Stone said it was a dream come true to fight in a big title match at Korakuen Hall but this is not going to be the end. She’ll be back to fight Suzume again. Stone is also still aiming to take a championship from Japan.

After the match Arisu Endo congratulated Suzume and asked her for a title shot. It just so happened that Suzume was going to nominate her Daisy Monkey partner anyway so they will have the match at “GRAND PRINCESS ’25” on 16th March! Suzume told reporters the two of them have long talked about having a championship match against each other some day. Now it is no longer going to be just a dream. Endo is the only opponent she wants to face at Ota Ward Gymnasium. Endo said they know each other so well from teaming together so it will all be about how they’re going to get through that. Endo is confident she can beat Suzume and become the champ!

A preview of the “GRAND PRINCESS ’25” main event pitted Mizuki and Rika Tatsumi against each other in a tag match. Mizuki avoided shaking Tatsumi’s hand before the bell and again when they were both tagged in for the first time. HIMAWARI attacked Tatsumi by whipping her with her hair so Tatsumi fought back by pulling on HIMAWARI’s hair. Mizuki used the Cutie Special to get rid of Toga but she was then hit by Tatsumi’s Spinning Backbreaker. Tatsumi then planted HIMAWARI with the Twist Of Fate to win. She would have preferred to directly beat Mizuki today but that just means she has more time to think about how she can get that result at the Princess Of Princess Title match. Toga feels similarly because she wants to avenge her loss to HIMAWARI in the Next Generation Tournament. Mizuki thinks Tatsumi’s love for her is very warped and isn’t really love. She doesn’t want to be hated though, so she isn’t sure how to open up to Tatsumi about the matter. It’s quite the problem because she doesn’t want to look at Tatsumi but knows if she takes her eyes off of her, she is going to lose.

Several matches on the undercard pitted the established Tokyo Joshi Pro roster against the Next Generation. The results were all straightforward without any upsets shaking up the status quo. Yuki Aino defeated Haru Kazashiro. She was in trouble when Kazashiro gave her the Fisherman Suplex but Aino kept on fighting. She ended up shrugging off some Dropkicks and pinned Kazashiro with the Venus DDT. Aino hasn’t won many singles matches in Korakuen so she is very happy with today’s result. She can tell just how much Kazashiro has grown both physically and mentally since their last singles match a year and a half ago. Kazashiro knows she can do more so she can get as strong as Aino.

Two of the Up Up Girls fought each other when Miu Watanabe fought Uta Takami in a mismatch of strength and experience. Takami wanted the match to be the culmination of her first year as a pro wrestler. She was able to catch her opponent in a Cobra Clutch and hit a Pop-Up Dropkick but other than that she had no chance. After stretching her with the Canadian Backbreaker, Watanabe then clobbered Takami with a Batting Hammer to win. She said she hopes Takami will continue to get stronger and walk her own path from here. Takami said if she had never met Watanabe she never would have become a pro wrestler. She is grateful to Watanabe for always watching over her.

Endo set herself up for her later title challenge by beating Wakana Uehara on the undercard. The result is payback for Uehara making Endo submit in the 1st Round to eliminate Daisy Monkey from this year’s tournament. She used a rope break to escape the Banana Pillow and then threw Uehara over by using the Waterwheel Drop. Uehara started a comeback but Endo stopped it with a Super Kick and then won by using the Ju no Okite. The Super Kick is particular is a move Endo said she’s been saving for the right time due to how effective it can be. Uehara said she always feel the need to chase after Endo because she was her mentor from Yume Pro Wrestling as well as her tag partner from her debut match. She thought she took a step forward when she submitted Endo in the tournament. But today she realised Endo has taken another step ahead since then.

The honeymoon period isn’t over yet. The “Newlywed Tag Team” Of Raku & Ram Kaichow are still acting lovey-dovey together (well it is Valentine’s Day next week). So much so that it annoyed Haruna Neko into attacking them with Mahiro Kiryu following suit. Raku had also made Kaichow some Valentine’s chocolate but Kiryu took it off them and ate some of it with Daisuke Kiso to get a suger rush power up. She of course later apologised to Kaichow over it. Ram & Kaichow got revenge by beating Neko with the Cake Cutting Ceremony double chop from the second rope. Unfortunately there was no chocolate left after the match. Raku promised to make more for Kaichow because Valentine’s Day hasn’t happened yet.

Mifu Ashida is still new to TJPW so it was time for Yuki Kamifuku to put her to the test. Kamifuku couldn’t help but compliment her opponent for having a pretty face while she was holding her down with an Indian Death Lock. Ashida hit her with some high kicks but Kamifuku took over with a Brainbuster and hit the Famouser for the victory. She praised Ashida for being confident when she heard her goal is to become the best wrestler in TJPW within a year. However Kamifuku dislikes people who carry that much motivation with them. Her advice to Ashida is she should get to know TJPW a little better before she goes around bragging about wanting to be the best. Ashida understands she has a lot more training to do before she can overcome high walls such as Kamifuku. She wants fans to watch her get stronger and climb to the top.

Since Shino Suzuki was teaming with two foreigners today, she treated her triple team moves with Ivy Steele & Kira Summer as if she was guiding them on a tour across Japan and ending at the Tokyo Dome. Steele & Summer were able to get Kaya Toribami & Chika Nanase out of the ring but Suzuki struggled to finish off Yoshiko Hasegawa. Instead Hasegawa fought her way to put Suzuki into the Muffler Hold and win the match by submission.

After Match #5 Watanabe received a video message from Willow Nightingale. The two were originally meant to have a match at “SUMMER SUN PRINCESS ’22” but visa issues prevented it from ever happening. Soon Nightingale will return to TJPW so the match can finally take place! It will happen at “GRAND PRINCESS ’25” on 16th March. Watanabe said she’s been waiting for over two years and cannot wait for Nightingale to finally come back.

DDT “JUST BEFORE JUDGEMENT 2025! BIG SALES AND PRESS CONFERENCE FESTIVAL IN OTA WARD INDUSTRIAL PLAZA”, 16/03/2025
Ota Ward Industrial Plaza (PiO) 4th Floor Convention Hall

1. Falls Count Anywhere Tag Match: Yuki Ueno & HARASHIMA Vs Danshoku Dieno & Keigo Nakamura

A few days before DDT’s 28th Anniversary show there will be a public event featuring press conferences, contract signings, autograph sessions and also a Falls Count Anywhere match.

DDT “JUDGEMENT 2025 ~28TH ANNIVERSARY 5 HOUR SPECIAL~”, 20/03/2025
Tokyo Korakuen Hall

1. Kazusada Higuchi Return Match: Kazusada Higuchi Vs X
2. DDT Extreme Title: Danshoku Dieno (c) Vs Yuki Iino
3. DDT Universal Title: Yuki Ueno (c) Vs X
4. KO-D Openweight Title: Chris Brookes (c) Vs X

According to Chris Brookes there are around ten people he would like to defend the KO-D Openweight Title against and he needs time to whittle the list down to one challenger. He has until 23rd February to make his decision.

The new DDT Universal Champion already has his first challenger in mind but it might take a while for it to happen. Yuki Ueno fought Minoru Suzuki for the first time last year in a tag match and he wants nothing more than to face him one on one. The Universal Title is now his treasure so he is going to use it to get “Pirate King” Suzuki’s attention. However Suzuki has his own schedule to deal with so if he takes up the challenge it might not be able to happen at DDT’s 28th Anniversary show. So if Suzuki cannot make that date, Ueno will still have a title defence on the show.

I thought Yuni was the only opponent Danshoku Dieno was forbidden to fight but it turns out there is someone else. DDT avoided booking Dieno against Yuki Iino for so long because of their history together as part of Pheromones. However Akito felt now is the time to do the match and Iino himself also wants it to happen. Dieno isn’t pleased to have the match happen against his wishes but he will allow it to happen as long as Hisaya Imabayashi is forced to be part of the match somehow. We’ll have to wait and see what role the DDT GM will have to play.

Nine months after his last wrestling match, Kazusada Higuchi will return from his injuries ready to give it his all in the ring again.

6. “Futari wa Princess” Max Heart Tournament – Semi-Final: Max The Impaler & Pom Harajuku defeated Yuki Kamifuku & Wakana Uehara when Max pinned Uehara with a Piledriver (10:37).
7. “Futari wa Princess” Max Heart Tournament – Semi-Final: Shoko Nakajima & Hyper Misao defeated HIMAWARI & Shino Suzuki when Misao pinned HIMAWARI with the Hypami Returns (13:31).

The Max Heart Tournament final is set. A girl and her monster is going to fight a superhero and her kaiju. Kyoraku Kyomei have a second crack at the final after failing to win it all in 2023. Today’s semi final was so important that Hyper Misao wouldn’t decide if she would use the Seven Hyper Tools to win. Instead she will let her heart and soul decide what to do. Her decision was to wrap up Shino Suzuki with the ring apron and tape her to the corner post. Suzuki was eventually able to be freed and tried to put Shoko Nakajima in the Sleeper Hold only to get fought off. Misao then hit HIMAWARI with the Kingslayer and pinned her with the Hypami Returns to win.

Meeting the long established tag team in the final is Pompaler. This time Pom Harajuku was spared from being thrown around like a missile by Max The Impaler. Instead it was Wakana Uehara that felt Max’s power firsthand. Yuki Kamifuku did her best to keep things even and gave Harajuku the Famouser but Max then took her out with a Spear. Uehara took a chance by putting Max in the Banana Pillow but that proved to be a costly mistake. Max picked her up out of the move, slammed their way out of it and then finished Uehara off with a Piledriver. Max was probably the most annoyed by the result because Harajuku was too loud with her celebrations afterward.

The two finalist teams confronted each other in the ring at the end of the show. Kyoraku Kyomei were talking about their goal to win the tournament and then beat 121000000 for the Princess Tag Team Titles when Max suddenly attacked them. Harajuku told them that Pompaler are the obvious winners and Max then picked her up and threw her at Kyoraku Kyomei before leaving. Misao swore to get revenge on the rampage that was just set upon them. Nakajima agreed and warned Pompaler that their weapons are infinite!

Raku wanted to sleep through the 3 Way Match so she set up traffic cones with a No Entry sign attached to them in the middle of the ring where she slept. Miu Watanabe and Haruna Neko had to wrestle around her unaware that it was all just a trap so she could roll them up for sneaky pinfalls. She eventually gave up with the plan and attacked her opponents with a pillow. She also blinded Watanabe by placing one of the cones over her head so Watanabe couldn’t see Raku pinned Neko to win the match.

It was announced that Yuki Arai will be part of Tokyo Joshi Pro’s Las Vegas show on 18th April. She tried to cut a promo in English to promote it. Later backstage she said it’s been her dream to wrestle overseas so she’s looking forward to doing it with TJPW. She’ll do her best to make her American debut a success.

2. Miyu Yamashita defeated Ivy Steele with the Attitude Adjustment (6:57).
3. 3 Way Match: Rika Tatsumi defeated Arisu Endo and Chika Nanase when Tatsumi pinned Nanase with the Twist Of Fate (7:14).
4. Mizuki, Jada Stone & Uta Takami defeated Suzume, Moka Miyamoto & Mifu Ashida when Stone pinned Suzume with the Spark Stunner (9:02).
5. “Futari wa Princess” Max Heart Tournament – Round 2: Yuki Kamifuku & Wakana Uehara defeated Mahiro Kiryu & Haruna Neko when Kamifuku pinned Kiryu with the Famouser (11:25).
6. “Futari wa Princess” Max Heart Tournament – Round 2: HIMAWARI & Shino Suzuki defeated Haru Kazashiro & Toga when HIMAWARI submitted Toga with the Half Crab Hold (12:43).
7. “Futari wa Princess” Max Heart Tournament – Round 2: Max The Impaler & Pom Harajuku defeated Yuki Aino & Raku when Harajuku pinned Raku after the Cho Pom Throw (11:57).
8. “Futari wa Princess” Max Heart Tournament – Round 2: Shoko Nakajima & Hyper Misao defeated Yoshiko Hasegawa & Kaya Toribami when Nakajima pinned Toribami with the Diving Senton (17:15).

It looks like Hyper Misao was on to something. Yesterday she wondered if the key to Kyoraku Kyomei finally winning the Max Heart Tournament was to give up something that is important to her. She gave away her spray can and proceeded to win her 1st Round match. So today she did the same thing and handed a bag filled with her weapons over to Yukinori Matsui to show she would fight fair and square. However this time she hid a small spray can in her costume and used it to blind Yoshiko Hasegawa & Kaya Toribami before the match began. Kyoraku Kyomei then tried to win via countout by tying Hasegawa & Toribami together back to back with Misao’s cloak. The other team were able to get back in the ring and fight back until Shoko Nakajima wiped out Toribami with a Topé Suicida. Misao hit Hasegawa with the Kingslayer followed by the Hypami Returns. Nakajima then finished her off with the Diving Senton to send Kyoraku Kyomei to the semi-finals again. Nakajima said afterwards she thought her team were the overwhelming favorites to win and their ultimate goal now is to crush 121000000. Misao said they’re now reaching a boiling point because it’s their fifth Max Heart Tournament and they still haven’t won it yet. They originally formed Kyoraku Kyomei to have fun tag matches but it’s no fun if they can’t win!

The Love Triangle were pitted against each other with Yuki Aino & Raku’s entry into the tournament. The brackets set them up to go against Pompaler in the 2nd Round. Their game plan was to invite their opponents for a nap in the middle of the ring. It didn’t work because Max The Impaler decided it was better to throw Pom Harajuku at them over and over instead. Raku lured Max away from the ring to chase her up to the balcony and then back down. She also tried to sing Max to sleep with a lullaby but it didn’t work. Harajuku knocked Aino down with the P Attack while Max got their hands on Raku for a Body Slam. Max then picked up Max in a Fireman’s Carry, climbed up the second rope and then Press Slammed her onto Raku. That counted as a pinfall and Harajuku was able to pin Raku for the victory. Harajuku didn’t know what happened other than everytime it looks like Max wants to help her, they throw her around instead. Raku thought the love between her and Aino would have been enough to beat a mismatched pair like Pompaler but she was proven wrong. She is also starting to feel like the only person who isn’t achieving anything. Aino assures her that isn’t true and she was really cool today.

Only one of the teams who received a bye past the 1st Round was able to win their match today. HIMAWARI & Shino Suzuki defeated their generation classmates Haru Kazashiro & Toga to advance to the final four. Toga was unable to use the Rock Bottom on HIMAWARI. Instead HIMAWARI got her with the Princess Drop and applied the Half Crab Hold until Toga gave up. Suzuki said they left it all in the ring today and that was why they won. HIMAWARI agreed they were more motivated than usual and now they get to fight Kyoraku Kyomei in the semi final. It’s a big wall to climb but Suzuki wants to continue teaming with HIMAWARI forever. Toga is disappointed to have lost but still thinks she and Kazashiro have both grown together as a team. Kazashiro said she is cherishing the present while also thinking about the future so she hopes this won’t be the end of their team. Toga suggested they can go get stronger as individuals and then team up again for next year’s tournament.

Fans were quick to notice that Toyo Mates were not teaming together for this year’s tournament. So wouldn’t you know it they ended up being opponents in the 2nd Round! Mahiro Kiryu went to shake Yuki Kamifuku’s hand before the match began but she was ignored. While Haruna Neko and Wakana Uehara had time to fight, the match came down to Kiryu against Kamifuku. Kiryu gave her the Spinebuster but Uehara broke the pin. Neko gave Uehara the Nekodebreaker to give Kiryu another chance to get the win but Kamifuku fired back with the Famouser to rescue victory from the jaws of defeat. She then shook Kiryu’s hand after the match. When she found out Kiryu & Neko gave themselves the team name Nekonchu she got annoyed by how bad the name is because Kiryu isn’t a catgirl. But Kamifuku has moved on to teaming with Uehara and having a “Ayase Town Hills New Hills” style with her. She told Uehara they will have to beat Pompaler in the semi finals because it is their job.

Jada Stone finished her first tour with Tokyo Joshi Pro with a pinfall win over Suzume! After pinning her with the Spark Stunner, Stone made the signal to her that she wants a shot at the International Princess Title. Stone told reporters that Suzume is one of the reasons she decided to go wrestle in TJPW. It feels like a dream that she is three wins for three in Japan and says “Jada In Japan” can continue on 8th February if Suzume is not a chicken. When Suzume heard about the challenge for 8th February she agreed to have the title match at Korakuen Hall so she can become an even stronger champion.

Rika Tatsumi called herself the God of 3 Way Matches and ordered her two opponents to fight each other so the winner would fight her next. However Arisu Endo and Chika Nanase decided to fight her straight away. Endo later gave Nanase the Ju no Okite and Tatsumi stole the win away from her with a Hip Attack to Endo followed by the Twist Of Fate to Nanase.

The 5th “Futari wa Princess” Max Heart Tournament

January 13, 2025

This weekend is the beginning of Tokyo Joshi Pro’s annual Max Heart Tournament. Just like last year the reigning Princess Tag Team Champions are not taking part. Maki Itoh is off touring with GCW again but Miyu Yamashita should be around for non-tournament matches. Mizuki has decided not to participate in this year’s event because she wants to focus on her Princess Of Princess Title reign. In a similar vein Rika Tatsumi will not enter the tournament either because she wants to prepare for her Princess Title shot against Mizuki set for March. That means when this tournament begins Kyoraku Kyomei will become the only team that has entered together for every year. Will this finally be the year they win it?

– Kyoraku Kyomei (Shoko Nakajima & Hyper Misao)
– Daisy Monkey (Suzume & Arisu Endo)
– Pompaler (Max The Impaler & Pom Harajuku)
– Yuki Kamifuku & Wakana Uehara
– Mahiro Kiryu & Haruna Neko

6. Yuki Kamifuku & Lei Ying Lee defeated Rika Tatsumi & Wakana Uehara when Lee pinned Uehara with the Thunder Strike (12:07).
7. International Princess Title: Suzume defeated Yuki Arai (c) with the Modified Ring A Bell (13:20).
*Yuki Arai fails in V7. Suzume becomes the 13th International Princess Champion!
8. Princess Tag Team Titles: Miyu Yamashita & Maki Itoh (c) defeated Masha Slamovich & Zara Zakher when Yamashita pinned Zakher with the Crash Rabbit Heat (12:05).

9. Princess Of Princess Title: Mizuki defeated Miu Watanabe (c) with the Cutie Special (18:40).
*Miu Watanabe fails in V6. Mizuki becomes the 15th Princess Of Princess Champion!

Looks like Mizuki was right. She is the princess and Miu Watanabe is the monster she defeated today to become the new Princess Of Princess Champion! Watanabe relied on her great strength to swing Mizuki around but Mizuki hit the Cutie Special into the corner to turn things around. Watanabe was able to do a Reverse Tear Drop but Mizuki hit back with the Whirling Candy. Then with the champion feeling stunned, Mizuki ran up and did a Pop Up Double Stomp to flatten her before using another Cutie Special to win the match.

Mizuki said the match was hard and Watanabe was indeed a monster. But she also saw Watanabe shining like a princess first hand. She wanted to be the champion again and put so much pressure on herself she became worried over what to do if she lost. But hearing everyone’s cheers were what pushed Mizuki to do what she wanted to do and win. She is happy to see so many people come to see the show and told everyone 2025 is only just beginning for Tokyo Joshi Pro! When she exited the ring she saw Yuka Sakazaki watching from behind the entrance curtain and went to go join her. Backstage Watanabe said she feels lonely without the championship but she’ll keep doing her best.

The goal of reaching 10 defences is still on for 121000000. In Defence #3 Miyu Yamashita & Maki Itoh put the Princess Tag Team Titles on the line against the foreign pairing of Masha Slamovich & Zara Zakher. The champs also debuted new gear as well as a new intro song made by Itoh. Zakher dodged the Skull Kick and used a cartwheel to give Yamashita an RKO but Itoh broke the pin. The champs then gave Zakher a Stunner into a German Suplex. Itoh held Slamovich in a Crab Hold while Yamashita cut down Zakher with a Buzzsaw Kick before finishing her off with the Crash Rabbit Heat. Backstage Yamashita called it a tough match that woke her up from her new year slump. She then tried to get Itoh to apologize for eliminating her from the Princess Rumble. Itoh ignored her and headed back to the locker room. Slamovich told reporters she would like to defend the TNA Knockouts World Title the next time she comes back to Japan. Zakher also wants to keep coming back to TJPW until she wins a championship here.

The year long International Princess Title reign has come to an end! Yuki Arai was defeated by Suzume in her seventh attempted defence. Suzume was able to block the Rookie Award only for Arai to hit it from behind. She hit it again from the front but only got a two count for it. Suzume then countered the Full Nelson Buster into a Facebuster and went for the Ring A Bell. Arai blocked it and pushed Suzume to the ropes where Suzume did a springboard off the middle rope to launch herself into hitting the Ring A Bell for the victory! Suzume said from the first time they met she thought Arai’s presence was so powerful it was intimidating. But Suzume’s desire to win the title is stronger and everyone was cheering her, Arisu Endo included. She wants to fight wrestlers from around the world and break Arai’s title defence record. Arai doesn’t feel as upset as she thought she would be because she gave it her all. She now wants to become a pro wrestler who can take on many challenges and fight for other championships as well as the IP Title.

The team up of Yuki Kamifuku & Lei Ying Lee worked out well enough for them to win. As Kamifuku described it afterwards: yesterday’s enemy is tomorrow’s friend. She took out Rika Tatsumi with a Reverse Famouser while Lee ended up pinning Wakana Uehara with a Modified Hercules Cutter followed by the Thunder Strike. Lee said she had a great time in TJPW and would also like a rematch with Kamifuku for her championships. Kamifuku told her she’ll ask the company if they’re interested. Tatsumi said her new year fortune warned her that a storm-like disaster will occur and all of a sudden it happened here today! She also said Lee has an aura around her that nobody in TJPW has. Tatsumi also got mad when she heard Uehara say she would like to team up with Kamifuku next.

The return of Sakazaki to TJPW was slightly changed due to Haru Kazashiro falling ill. Her and Moka Miyamoto were still teaming up and Shino Suzuki was moved up the card to team with Endo in Kazahsiro’s place. Suzuki took her chance by putting Sakazaki in the Sleeper Hold but she was shaken off and dropped with the Tea Time. Endo tried to help her out but got brushed aside so Sakazaki & Miyamoto could finish Suzuki off. Sakazaki described Suzuki in her current state as a soft shelled turtle. She has a lot of guts and will grow into becoming a good wrestler. Sakazaki also noticed Endo has become calmer and more reliable than the last time they fought each other. She told Miyamoto to take care of TJPW so she can watch with peace of mind when everyone is doing their best. She would like to come back again even just to watch from the sidelines but is unsure of what her future schedule will be like.

2025 is the Year Of The Snake so that explains why Poison Sawada JULIE has suddenly returned to TJPW! He was called upon to be the special referee for the annual Shoko Nakajima Vs Hyper Misao match that was being held this year as a Lumber Snake Death Match. Sawada got up to his tricks before it even begun when Nakajima found an “energy drink” backstage, drank it and then fainted. The drink was actually Sawada’s potion that transformed her into a Snake Person! It turned out Sawada tricked several wrestlers into becoming Snake People and he led them out dancing to the song “Nikumikirenai Rokudenashi” by Kenji Sawada. He then announced he will transform TJPW into Hebikai Joshi Pro Wrestling! If Misao wants to bring everyone back to normal she will have to win and take the antidote from Sawada. Otherwise Misao will be forced to drink the potion too and become Viper Misao!

Misao now had to fight off an entire snake powered joshi company invasion by herself. It was made even tougher when Sawada stepped in to use his Snake Magic against her. She was able to block some of it by using her cape as a shield but Nakajima tucked the cape away to make it useless. Misao was attacked by the lumberjacks outside the ring so she ran off to get on the Hyper Mobile but Sawada’s magic steered her towards crashing into Mahiro Kiryu instead of his warriors. Misao fought back in the ring but when she was close to victory, Sawada pulled the ref out of the ring. Misao fought to get her cape back and when Nakajima used Snake Magic on her, Misao deflected it into Sawada to knock him out. She then gave Nakjima the Hypami Returns to win the match.

She quickly gave antidotes to the wrestlers after the match only to find out one was missing for Nakajima. Sawada revealed he purposely did not have enough antidotes for everyone so Nakajima would remain under his control! However Nakajima restrained herself from following his orders because she is determined to win the tag titles with Misao this year. Sawada could see Nakajima still has a human side to her so he revealed he actually does have one more antidote left and gave it to her. However as long as there is darkness in someone’s heart, he will return. Sawada also told Misao before leaving that she is too good to be a hero. TJPW then announced the annual Kyoraku Kyomei match will happen again at next year’s Ittenyon show.

Aja Kong was given the full Love Triangle experience and in return she gave them the full Aja Kong experience. Before the match began Kiryu was excluded from the other five wrestlers who all agreed to give her the Oyasumi Express. Kiryu lost her temper and Body Slammed all three opponents while Kong & Haruna Neko agreed to team with her as scheduled. She then demanded Kong apologize to her not once but twice because she felt the first one was not heartfelt. Kong told her she doesn’t know how to apologize so Kiryu demonstrated one by doing the Dogeza Knee Drop to Pom Harajuku. Kong was then asked by Harajuku for a New Year’s Gift so she hit Harajuku over the head with the steel can. Raku armed herself with her pillow to fight against Kong and her can. She hit Kong over the head with the pillow but got a Lariat in return. Yuki Aino came to the rescue and won the match for her team after giving Neko the Venus DDT. Kong blamed Kiryu for the loss because if she just accepted the 5-On-1 fight in the first place then Neko wouldn’t have lost! Kong also has bad knees so Kiryu shouldn’t have ordered her to apologize because it only would have made her knees worse!

The trio of Matcha, Ivy Steele & Kira Summer were excited to be in Japan for the holidays and wished everyone a happy new year while stretching Yoshiko Hasegawa in the middle of the ring. Hasegawa got some help from Kaya Toribami and together the two of them knocked Matcha & Summer out of the ring. That left Steele having to fight Ryo Mizunami by herself and she was beaten with a Spear. Mizunami said she was super happy to start the year with TJPW in front of a packed crowd. Despite losing, Matcha still thinks she was part of a good team and looks forward to seeing what will happen next.

The opening match was the TJPW debut of their newest signing, Mifu Ashida. She made a cheerleader type of entrance and used her agility to run circles around Toga & Chika Nanase. Toga cut her off with the Elbow Smash and hit a Rolling Thunder. She only got a two count because HIMAWARI broke the pin. Ashida tried fighting back but Toga hit her with another Elbow Smash and pinned her with the Rock Bottom. Toga said she sees Ashida as her rival because they debuted in the same year. She can tell she has a competitive side and would like to have a singles match against her. HIMAWARI called Ashida an immediate asset because she has a body with flexibility she has never seen before. Ashida herself is confident she can become a top wrestlers in TJPW within a year.

TJPW will soon be taking a ride on the bullet train! Sanshiro Takagi announced he will produce another wrestling match inside a travelling bullet train and this time it will involve TJPW. “SHINKANSEN JOSHI PRO WRESTLING” will be held on 15th February on the Nozomi line from Tokyo to Shin-Osaka. It will be an 8-Woman Falls Count Anywhere Match between Miu Watanabe, Mizuki, Raku & Aja Kong against Miyu Yamashita, Maki Itoh, Yuki Arai & Max The Impaler!

At the start of the show The Up Up Girls (Pro Wrestling) debuted a new song called “Stand Up! Proof Of Love”. They were down a member because Uta Takami was out sick. When they finished the performance it was revealed that the lyrics were written by Hyper Misao!

After a hard fought Asian Double Titles match, Yuki Kamifuku took a liking to Lei Ying Lee and decided she wants to team up with her.

We have an international trio of Matcha, Ivy Steele & Kira Summer teaming together.

During the Princess Rumble Raku accidentally eliminated Aja Kong from the match by hugging her and then having everyone else pile on top of them. Kong will now be facing Raku in a 6-Woman Tag Match but Raku has the rest of Love Triangle looking out for her. Or they should be as long as they’re not scared of fighting Kong.

This is not the full card for the Ittenyon show. Tokyo Joshi Pro want to have either 9 or 10 matches in total so expect one more update to announce the remaining bouts.

Even though Shunma Katsumata vacated the KO-D Tag Team Titles a while back he now finds himself stuck in the middle of the next title match! He is a part of NωA Jr. with Yuni & Kazuma Sumi and that pair want to challenge the new champions. The champions just so happen to be MAO & To-y from Katsumata’s main unit The 37KAMIINA. To-y is excited to fight them but the last thing MAO wants to do is get involved with idol wrestlers again.

“SANSHIRO TAKAGI 30TH ANNIVERSARY COMMEMERATION EVENT ~ NEVER SAY NEVER”, 03/02/2025
Shinjuku FACE

1. Special Single Match: Muscle Sakai Vs Hyper Misao
2. Special Tag Match: Dump Matsumoto & Toru Owashi Vs Brahman Shu & Brahman Kei
3. Special Single Match: Yuji Nagata Vs Kuroshio TOKYO Japan

TJPW won the battle against DDT at Sumo Hall but another fight is coming out of it. Super Sasadango Machine is all of a sudden feeling defensive over how much Hyper Misao gets over for her crazy ideas. That’s meant to be his strength as a wrestler! He challenged her to a match at Sanshiro Takagi’s 30th Anniversary Match and also decided to go back to his roots. He will be unmasked and wrestling as Muscle Sakai once more!
