In a meeting of champions against challengers, Ober Eats along with Arisu Endo showed it will take some beating for them to lose their titles. Bumping gRitters & Uta Takami all found themselves needing to go back to the drawing board after today. Yuki Kamifuku rubbed it in after winning by telling HIMAWARI & Shino Suzuki they showed no signs that they will win the Princess Tag Team Titles next weekend. She would rather wait until they level up to do the match. Wakana Uehara said she really doesn’t want to lose to her classmates and wants to show that having this title means she is a step ahead of them. Endo was polite towards Takami and told her she is looking forward to their International Princess Title match. Kamifuku then stepped in and told Takami to stop being a crying brat. It wasn’t until the other team left ringside that Kamifuku admitted she was actually feeling really sore from fighting them and was using her best poker face to act otherwise. Backstage Bumping gRitters were at a loss for words over how unprepared they are to face Ober Eats. Takami though is happy to see Endo is paying attention to her.
“The Ultimate Athlete” J-Rod made her Tokyo Joshi Pro debut by defeating Kira Summer in quick fashion. She returned to ringside later in the show to watch Miu Watanabe’s match up close. That match was also Shoko Nakajima’s first appearance back from her tour of Mexico. She picked up the win for her team while Watanabe locked eyes with J-Rod while she was walking back to the locker room. After finally getting to see her in person, Watanabe said J-Rod has the strength needed to get a title shot straight away. She’s not going to let J-Rod’s intimidation tactics get to her. J-Rod bragged to the backstage reporters about being “The Ultimate Athlete”, said Watanabe will be her next victim and she will become the first American Princess Of Princess Champion!
Pom Harajuku came up with a plan to beat Rika Tatsumi for the Iron Man Heavymetalweight Title. She knows that Tatsumi does not want to fight and risk losing the belt before next month’s OCHA NORMA show, so Harajuku agreed to leave the ring and go home. Tatsumi then left the ring, unaware that Harajuku quietly walked back out and encouraged Daisuke Kiso to count Tatsumi out! The plan almost worked but Tatsumi heard Rise Shirai’s count announcement over the microphone and returned to the ring just in time to keep the match going. The two fought out of the ring again and Harajuku tried to take Tetsuya Koda hostage. Tatsumi said she doesn’t care what happens to him and started to strangle Harajuku. Koda pulled her away and put her in a Sleeper Hold to try and win the Iron Man Title but Tatsumi broke out of it and started to strangle him too. Tatsumi was able to make Harajuku give up to the Dragon Sleeper back inside the ring so she is pleased to get her win back from “WRESTLE PRINCESS VI”. She isn’t going to forgive Koda anytime soon though.
Raku & Ren Konatsu came up with a plan for their match too. While Hyper Misao was doing her usual ring introductions, the two of them snuck out of the ring and hid themselves from view, leaving behind two of Konatsu’s little sheep plushies laying on Raku’s pillow. Both Misao & Kaya Toribami were tricked into thinking their opponents had fallen asleep and somehow turned into toys! They tried to pin the toys anyway but Raku & Konatsu then rolled them up from behind for a double nearfall.

4. Miyu Yamashita defeated Mahiro Kiryu by Countout (12:12).
5. Mizuki, Suzume & Yuki Arai defeated Hyper Misao, Raku & Pom Harajuku when Mizuki pinned Harajuku with the Cutie Special (9:55).

7. Yuki Aino, Yuna Manase & Toga defeated Miu Watanabe, Yuki Kamifuku & Wakana Uehara when Toga pinned Uehara with the Rock Bottom (16:37).
Things aren’t settled yet between Miu Watanabe and Yuki Aino but the main event saw Hot Shot getting one over on Ober Eats instead. Yuna Manase blocked a Double Flapjack to give Yuki Kamifuku & Wakana Uehara a Double Clothesline. Toga was then able to hit Uehara with the Elbow Smash before pinning her with the Rock Bottom. After the match Manase told Toga that she won a match right in the heart of Tokyo Joshi Pro. She also thinks Aino is ready to win the Princess Of Princess Title from Watanabe. Aino agreed and said she couldn’t have asked for a better warm up match. Toga believes the three of them all have the passion to win championships at Korakuen Hall next weekend! It was Kamifuku’s first time wrestling Manase in a while and she said Manase is as big and energetic as ever. Kamifuku tried to be more like Ken Ohka in order to beat her but that plan didn’t work so she is going to file a complaint towards Ganbare☆Pro. Watanabe then asked if Aino’s hot performance today means that “Miuderella’s Castle” has been set on fire? According to her the castle park has a pond in it so she has water needed to extinguish that fire.
Today was Alice Crowley’s first appearance in Japan as part of the build up to her International Princess Title challenge. There was a contract signing at the start of the show and it was apparent just how much taller “Big Al” is than Arisu Endo. The champion decided to stand on a chair to show everyone that she is the bigger Alice. Then later in the show when it was time for their Tag Match, Crowley immediately attacked Endo and they fought each other for most of it. Shoko Nakajima ended up wiping out Endo with a dive while Crowley caught a dive from Haru Kazashiro. Crowley then turned that into a Swinging Side Slam for the three count. She later said the only reason she came to Japan is to take the IP Title from Endo although she does like the welcoming atmosphere of TJPW. Endo also made it clear she doesn’t like being called tiny because she has a big presence!
Mahiro Kiryu was in the fight of her life with the Iron Man Heavymetalweight Title on the line. Miyu Yamashita gave her a one-sided beatdown early that made Kiryu rethink her gameplan. She fled out of the ring twice, once getting thrown back in and the other making Yamashita chase her up to the aisle. Up there Kiryu grabbed the folder containing the contract that Endo and Crowley signed earlier in the show and she hit Yamashita with it. Rise Shirai then tried to grab the folder but Kiryu pulled it away and tripped over Yamashita, landing her back with the folder falling on top of her. Fumirin (who wasn’t the ref for this match) then suddenly appeared to count a pinfall and declare the International Princess Championship Match Signing Document as the new champion! Kiryu and Yamashita then fought over the contract until they were reminded of the 20 count. They both ran back to the ring but only Yamashita made it in time while Kiryu was counted out. Kiryu then tried to pin the contract after the match until Yamashita chased her away.
There were more Iron Man Title changes after the show. Shirai placed her binder on top of the contract and left it alone. Fumirin found it and decided to count the pin, declaring Rise Shirai’s Binder as the new champion! Then even later somebody placed a drink on top of the binder and Fumirin again treated it as a pinfall, declaring the Double Vitamin Drink as the new champion. This then led to a battle of endurance as Kiryu grabbed the bottle and attempted to drink it empty as quickly as she could. She finished the drink without interruption and was rewarded with the Iron Man Title again for her knockout effort.
Things are suddenly looking up for Shino Suzuki! She won her tag match today by whipping out a new Modified Cobra Clutch that made Mifu Ashida submit. After the victory Suzuki told HIMAWARI she wants to support their classmates Uehara and Toga while they fight for the Princess Tag Team Titles at Korakuen next week. However she is also frustrated over feeling left out of the title race so she wants to challenge the winners for the belts with HIMAWARI as her partner! HIMAWARI said she feels the same way and took up Suzuki on her offer. She is happy to see how much confidence Suzuki is showing lately.
We now have our first finalist in the Next Generation Tournament as well as the first full elimination. Uta Takami is on a roll with using the Koala Clutch to win matches with Kira Summer becoming the latest victim to the move. Meanwhile Chika Nanase had her first gasp at survival by beating Ren Konatsu to knock her out of the tournament. This now means Summer and Nanase will face each other again with an elimination on the line while Takami waits for the winner in the final. Takami said she will win the tournament and prove that she is beloved by the gods of pro wrestling. Nanase admits she didn’t expect her rematch with Summer to happen this soon. Konatsu felt like she was able to find her own wrestling style during this tournament even though she lost both of her matches. If the tournament is held again next year she wants to enter it, run through every opponent like a typhoon and win it with style.

-. Iron Man Heavymetalweight Title: Mahiro Kiryu defeated Miyu Yamashita (c) with a School Boy (12:38 pm). *Mahiro Kiryu becomes the 1,772nd champion.
5. Yuna Manase & Toga defeated Yuki Arai & Mifu Ashida when Toga pinned Ashida with the Rock Bottom (10:29).
6. Yuki Kamifuku & Wakana Uehara defeated Mizuki & Pom Harajuku when Kamifuku pinned Harajuku with the Famouser (9:28).
7. Yuki Aino & Haru Kazashiro defeated Miu Watanabe & Shino Suzuki when Aino pinned Suzuki with the Venus DDT (17:03).
It’s already getting cold in October so Yuki Aino is looking for ways to fire up everyone, Miu Watanabe included. She created a spark at a press conference a couple of days ago by getting Rise Shirai to call Watanabe a “Monster Princess”. Aino then beat Watanabe in a game of thumb wrestling at that press conference. She also got the better of her today with a Shoulder Tackle battle outside the ring followed by a Reverse Senton being done from the ropes to the floor. Aino then went on to pin Shino Suzuki with the Venus DDT to win the match for herself & Haru Kazashiro. Aino is now claiming she has beaten Watanabe twice this week and Watanabe even agrees. So later backstage Watanabe challenged Suzuki to a thumb wrestling match and easily beat her to get some little piece of momentum going back her way.
The era of Mahironman was briefly interrupted when Miyu Yamashita submitted Mahiro Kiryu to become the new Iron Man Heavymetalweight Champion. Yamashita wasn’t the only person wanting to win the belt because Hyper Misao told her before the match she had a plan to win it herself. Her plan was to roll up Kiryu from behind during her ring entrance but it failed when Kiryu kicked out of the pin. Misao tried to deny ever ambushing her and then told Kiryu it was her fault for leaving her defence open. Kiryu believed her and apologised for it during her apology spot in the match. Yamashita would then win the match and the title only for Misao to try rolling her up afterwards in a failed attempt to become champion. Kiryu pleaded with Yamashita to give the belt back because she wants to be the champion for her homecoming show on 19th October but Yamashita refused. instead Yamashita told her they can have a singles match with the title on the line at next week’s show in Shinjuku FACE. Kiryu accepted the challenge but then rolled up Yamashita anyway to become champ again before running off. However Yamashita said the singles is still going ahead next week and she will get revenge by bashing Kiryu’s brains in!
The Next Generation Tournament began with two matches in the opening round. This year’s competition is under double elimination rules so losing once doesn’t immediately knock anyone out of the running. It will just make the path to the final a more difficult challenge. Uta Takami won her match against Ren Konatsu and feels relieved because she doesn’t wrestle with the same confidence that Konatsu does despite having more experience. In the other match Kira Summer used a Modified Side Buster called the Hazard Hangover to beat Chika Nanase. That means Summer will next face Takami for a place in the grand final while Konatsu and Nanase have to fight each other when neither can afford to lose again.

-. Iron Man Heavymetalweight Title: Haruna Neko defeated Mahiro Kiryu (c) with a Scratch (7:43 pm). *Haruna Neko becomes the 1,769th champion.
-. Iron Man Heavymetalweight Title: Mahiro Kiryu defeated Haruna Neko (c) by Forfeit (7:45 pm). *Mahiro Kiryu becomes the 1,770th champion.
Today was the day that Tokyo Joshi Pro would bid farewell to Haruna Neko but just like with other graduations in the past, some of the wrestlers who didn’t want her to leave decided to do something about it. Hyper Misao, Rika Tatsumi and Pom Harajuku formed a protest group to prevent Neko from graduating before the main event but Mahiro Kiryu forced everyone to go through with the match. Kiryu then used her apology spot in the match to say sorry for preventing them from stopping the graduation. Neko later got involved in the match, first when Tatsumi choked her over the ropes and then when Harajuku invited her into a strike exchange she was having with Kiryu. Misao then paused the match so she could give Neko one last message. She understands the situation Neko is in because she also suffered from knee injuries including one that required surgery. She also revealed that she wanted Neko to play the lead role in one of her “HYPE!” shows but Neko got injured before it could be set up. She asked Neko if they could wrestle each other one last time and Neko agreed. She then attacked Misao and her team with one of the protest signs, leaving Suzume & Kiryu to finish things off with Tatsumi & Harajuku.
After the match Kiryu spoke about how glad she is her team won and in honor of Neko she will protect the Iron Man Heavymetalweight Title forever! Neko then scratched Kiryu over the face and tried to pin her but Kiryu kicked out. Harajuku kicked Kiryu in the shin so Neko could scratch and pin her again, this time with everyone else piling on top so Kiryu couldn’t kick out. Neko had now become the Iron Man Champion! However since Neko is about to graduate and she doesn’t want to worry about carrying around such a dangerous title, she told Daisuke Kiso she was surrendering the championship back to Kiryu. Kiso confirmed the decision so Kiryu is now the champ again.
The graduation ceremony then took place. Neko told the audience she was never particularly good at sports and doesn’t like to speak in front of so many people like this. But she made it this far thanks to the support and kindness of her fans. She also thanked everyone from the TJPW wrestlers to the staff for making her feel at ease for the past seven years. The ceremony ended with the 10 bell salute followed by her final ring introduction, which I think was actually the first time Rise Shirai ever got to announce her. As for what will happen next for Haruna, she said she is going to work for somebody she knows.
Match #5 was still promoted as the “main event” even though it was moved to the penultimate match spot of the card beneath Haruna’s final appearance. The match had both Miu Watanabe and Arisu Endo teaming up as champions as well as Watanabe’s first challenger Yuki Aino being on the other team. Watanabe said she could really feel Aino’s passion so she isn’t going to let her guard down. Autumn has arrived and she is expecting it to be a hot one! Aino is counting down the days to the Princess Of Princess Title match but she is taking her time since there will be several warm up matches between now and 18th October.
Wakana Uehara’s new Ripcord Spinning Facebuster like move now has a name. It is called the Sushi Tornado.
Misao hasn’t taken to losing the Princess Tag Team Titles very well and wasn’t in the mood to wrestle today. Shino Suzuki tried cheering her up by suggesting they compete against each other over something they both like. So they came up with rules based on a comedian they both liked named Gorgeous. He is a pirate who makes geography related jokes. The rule is when a wrestler gets a two count or rope break, they are given the name of a country and have ten seconds to find it on a globe. Suzuki couldn’t find Sweden or Paraguay and Misao couldn’t find Mexico. There was then a moment when Suzuki got a two count with a Backward Rolling Cradle but Misao then pinned her back with a Gedo Clutch. It was decided they could both get a chance at finding Madagascar. Suzuki couldn’t find it so the globe was handed over to Misao. She fumbled the globe but when she picked it back up, she found Madagascar and pointed at it to Kiso to win the match!
It was revealed at “WRESTLE PRINCESS VI” that Yuki Kamifuku had been working with TJPW for years as a freelancer and she was now thinking of signing with the company on a full time basis. Today she confirmed a deal has been made and she is now officialy under contract with the promotion. She described her time with TJPW up to now as if it was like a couple that had lived together for years and met each other’s families but never went all the way with getting married. So think of this as Kamifuku finally popping the question and now becoming married to TJPW! Later backstage Sanshiro Takagi told reporters the story that Kamifuku originally came to TJPW from a talent agency whose manager he knew. Kamifuku was at a point where she was either going to become a pro wrestler or go work at a real estate agency. He is happy Kamifuku chose wrestling because she has become a valuable asset for TJPW. Tetsuya Koda also explained how Kamifuku was a TJPW regular in name only and that it was news to many fans that she was actually a freelancer all along. It was an ambiguous situation but one where nothing in particular is going to change for her going forward. Kamifuku said she thinks of Takagi like her wrestling father and Koda like her wrestling boss. Koda had to correct her because he really is her boss now.

9. 12th Tokyo Princess Cup – Quarter Final: Shoko Nakajima defeated Mizuki with the Diving Senton (18:30).
Eight gets whittled down to four as the Tokyo Princess Cup went through the Quarter Finals today. In the main event it was champion against champion as Mizuki fought Shoko Nakajima. It was their first singles match against each other since the 2020 Princess Cup Final but they were both prepared for each other. Nakajima was able to prevent the Cutie Special from happening but Mizuki also knew when to block the 619 with a Dropkick. However Nakajima was persistent with the move and eventually found her mark with it. She also fought to lock in the Unmanned Local Train Hold but Mizuki got out of it with a rope break. She then got to do the Cutie Special from the top rope as a counter for Nakajima planning a top rope Hurricanrana. But Nakajima took over and used her signature moves one after the other before pinning Mizuki with the Diving Senton. After the match Nakajima told Mizuki the next time they have a singles match she will be wearing the Princess Of Princess Title at the end of it. Backstage Mizuki said she wants to get revenge for this loss so she hopes Nakajima wins the tournament to set up a rematch with the Princess Title on the line. In fact, she is willing to give her a title shot even if Nakajima doesn’t win the Cup.
The unexpected upset of the Quarter Finals… wait can it really be called unexpected? Maybe Miyu Yamashita finally winning the Princess Cup in 2023 and skipping the 2024 tournament made some fans forget the Cup has historically been Yamashita’s Achilles heel throughout her entire career. Well today was her rude awakening because Arisu Endo knocked her out in the Quarter Finals! Endo tried to make a gameplan around using her mobility to disrupt Yamashita’s moves but that didn’t work. Instead she had to rely on her guts and take every kick her opponent threw at her. Soon she was able to read Yamashita’s attacks but Yamashita fired back by escaping the Camel Clutch to give Endo a German Suplex. Endo was able to withstand more strikes and used a Waterwheel Drop to throw Yamashita into the turnbuckles. Endo then stunned her with a Super Kick and used the Ju no Okite to get the upset victory. Endo said she was flooded with memories of the past as soon as this match was announced. She remembered feeling helpless against Yamashita in their early singles matches and also remembered Yamashita directly beating her to take the Princess Tag Team Titles. But the Endo that is here today could not have existed without that past. She owes a lot to Yamashita because whenever they fight, Endo finds a passion she never knew she had coming out and it gets her super fired up. Yamashita was frustrated over the loss but she tells herself she’ll just need to switch her focus. She wanted to fight Rika Tatsumi in the tournament this year but Tatsumi was eliminated in the first round so none of Yamashita’s Princess Cup dreams came true this year.
Yuki Arai isn’t wasting time climbing her way back to getting another Princess Title shot. She also continues to have the upper hand on Wakana Uehara whenever they face each other. Uehara was softened up with Big Boots but she got to do a Brainbuster to set up the Banana Pillow. Arai reached the ropes but took enough damage that she couldn’t pin Uehara straight away after doing the Full Nelson Buster. Uehara went for a series of roll ups, ending with a Jackknife Pin to try and win the same way she did in Round 1. However Arai caught Uehara by the legs and turned her over into the Scorpion Death Lock, keeping it locked in until Uehara gave up. Arai said Uehara’s growth since last year’s tournament has been incredible. She wonders if they will face each other again at next year’s Princess Cup to make it three years in a row. Arai hopes she will win if that does happen. Uehara is disappointed she lost to Arai again but she is proud of the progress she has made. If Uehara can’t be the centre of attention this year then she will support Arai to go all the way instead.
The power of Miu Watanabe was just too overwhelming for Haru Kazashiro to handle. From Backbreakers to Batting Hammers to Power Slams, Watanabe broke her opponent off piece by piece. Kazashiro found some moments to fight back by targeting Watanabe’s arms but soon she found herself being spun around in a Front Neck Lock Giant Swing. Once Watanabe put her into the Reverse Paradox, it was all over for Kazashiro. Watanabe said she could sense how fired up Kazashiro was for this match and she will continue to grow even more from here. While Kazashiro acknowledges her improvement from last year’s tournament, she still doesn’t feel like she has caught up yet. She sees this match as an important milestone and her last summer as a high school student isn’t over yet.
A few hours after the show was finished, TJPW held the draw to set up the semi final pairings. Rise Shirai watched over the proceedings and the matches happening on 17th August are Shoko Nakajima Vs Miu Watanabe and Yuki Arai Vs Arisu Endo. Watanabe thinks Nakajima has been performing at full speed ever since she won the MLW Women’s World Featherweight Title so she had to work hard against her recently. She would also like to face Arai in the final because it will be a first time singles match for them. Nakajima talked about how well received their recent match in Texas was but the praise doesn’t make up for her being the loser of the match. As far as Nakajima is concerned, this match feels like the final. Arai has made the semi finals before but wants to beat Endo so she can finally reach the final. Endo has noticed how often Arai is present for TJPW’s important moments lately. She has never beaten Arai but knows she’ll need to stop her unstoppable momentum in order to make it to the final. She has the confidence to do it after beating Yamashita today.
Today was Ivy Steele’s final match with Tokyo Joshi Pro before she returns home to England. She has spent a year in Japan as part of a cultural program with her university back in Great Britain. She walked down to the ring with Kira Summer carrying both the British flag and Australian flag. She put Toga in the Vines Of Ivy submission hold but Chika Nanase broke it up. Summer threw Nanase aside with a Back Body Drop but Steele ended up getting pinned by Toga’s Rock Bottom. Backstage Steele said she was happy her last TJPW match was with people she loves but it’s a shame she wasn’t able to win. Summer suggested since they lost that means Steele will have to come back to Japan so she can get her win back. Steele pointed out she and Toga have a 1-1 singles record against each other. So don’t treat this as a goodbye, it is more see you later.
Pom Harajuku sat out in the front row for the beginning of the 3 Way Match because she wanted to see fireworks between Yuki Kamifuku and HIMAWARI. She eventually got involved but kept demanding the other two jump in the air like they were fireworks blowing up. HIMAWARI was happy to join in but Kamifuku wasn’t. When she was finally convinced to give it a go, Kamifuku was suddenly attacked by the other two and the match proceeded as normal.
TOKYO JOSHI PRO “TJPW INSPIRATION”, 28/06/2025 TOKYO SQUARE In Itabashi 214 Fans – Super No Vacancy
1. Exhibition Match: Ai Shimizu Vs Yoshiko Hasegawa ended in a Time Limit Draw (3:00).
2. Shoko Nakajima defeated Ren Konatsu with the Unmanned Local Train Hold (7:53).
3. Suzume & Arisu Endo defeated Gabai Ji-chan & Mahiro Kiryu when Suzume pinned Kiryu with the Ring A Bell (12:41).
4. Tae Honma & Miyuki Takase defeated Yoshiko Hasegawa & Kaya Toribami when Honma submitted Hasegawa with an Arm Lock (13:59). *Special Referee: Nao Kakuta
5. Mizuki & Miu Watanabe defeated Haru Kazashiro & Uta Takami when Mizuki pinned Kazashiro with the Cutie Special (17:14).
The present main eventers of Tokyo Joshi Pro fought against two possible future main eventers on today’s TJPW Inspiration show. Haru Kazashiro grabbed Mizuki in an Armbreaker while Uta Takami jumped onto Miu Watanabe to apply the Koala Clutch. However Watanabe was able to break up both submission holds by slamming Takami onto Kazashiro. Mizuki then blocked Kazashiro from doing the Fisherman Suplex and cut her off by the ropes with a Diving Foot Stomp. She then won the match using the Cutie Special. Mizuki asked for a handshake after the match but then ignored the other team when they offered her one. Watanabe did shake hands with Kazashiro but ignored Takami for some reason. Mizuki thanked everyone for coming to the show because it was TJPW’s first time at TOKYO SQUARE In Itabashi. She’s expecting the summer to get hot but it’s already becoming too hot for her right now. Watanabe said everybody thinks of them as princesses so today you can call them Princess Tag!
Nao Kakuta made a special appearance on the show to officiate a tag match between Yoshiko Hasegawa & Kaya Toribami and Tae Honma & Miyuki Takase. The latter team started to argue with each other when things weren’t going their way. Kakuta tried to calm them down when Honma decided that Kakuta was the only one on her side. The two of them then Irish Whipped everyone else into the corner. Takase then tried using Kakuta for double team moves by Suplexing her onto Hasegawa but Kakuta reversed it and Hasegawa rolled away. Takase used a Missile Dropkick to take down Haseawa & Toribami. Honma gave Hasegawa a Modified DDT for a nearfall and then put her in an Arm Lock to make her give up. Kakuta was later asked if she would like to be a referee again. She doesn’t plan to but if she’s given another opportunity she wouldn’t mind taking it. Toribami complained about Kakuta playing favorites in the match but Kakuta, Honma & Takase told her it was all in her head.
In a promotion that is usually filled with youthful, fast paced wrestlers Gabai Ji-chan slowed things down with his elderly movements. He also thought he was teaming up with Daisy Monkey until Daisuke Kiso guided him over to Mahiro Kiryu’s corner. There were moments when Ji-chan was able to keep up with Suzume & Arisu Endo until his body couldn’t take it anymore. Maybe it’s all in the cane because he threw it towards Suzume and when she caught it, all of a sudden she was bent over double moving like an old lady. Ji-chan then kicked the cane away making Suzume collapse on the mat. He then went for the Swanton Bomb but Endo pulled Suzume out of the way, causing a chain reaction where Kiryu was pulled into Suzume’s place and Ji-chan landed onto the back of her legs instead. Endo took down Ji-chan with a Neckbreaker Drop and Suzume then pinned Kiryu with the Ring A Bell.
The rookie Ren Konatsu was given a big chance to wrestle Shoko Nakajima one on one. The match was mostly grapple based with Konatsu applying a Sleeper only for Nakajima to collapse it. Konatsu tried turning it into a Cradle but Nakajima rolled out of that too and maneuvered everything into catching her opponent with the Unmanned Local Train Hold for the tap out.
Hasegawa wrestled twice on the show, although the first bout was only a three minute exhibition. Ai Shimizu was invited back to wrestle in TJPW for the first time in 9 years just so Hasegawa could get a chance to wrestler her, even if it was just for a brief moment in time. Three minutes obviously wasn’t enough time to determine a winner and the time ran out while Hasegawa was kicking out of a Romero Special and putting Shimizu into a her own submission hold. Afterwards Hasegawa pointed out that Shimizu never actually retired from pro wrestling so she would love to see what she will do next. The two have happy memories together and Shimizu thanked Hasegawa for choosing her as one of her last opponents before retirement. Similar to what Kakuta said above, Shimizu told reporters that if an offer comes her way she may be interested in wrestle again if her schedule allows it.
Today was Rise Shirai’s first complete show as TJPW’s new ring announcer. She was joined by Chika Nanase for the show’s opening call.

2. 12th Tokyo Princess Cup Preliminary League – Round 2: X Vs X
Earlier today Rise Shirai brought the eight remaining wrestlers in the Tokyo Princess Cup Preliminary League together to take part in a draw to determine who faces who in Round 2. The winners of these four matches will qualify for the actual Princess Cup, filling in the four remaining spots. The lottery came up with these four matches:
-. Moka Miyamoto Vs Kaya Toribami
-. Haru Kazashiro Vs Ivy Steele
-. Wakana Uehara Vs Shino Suzuki
-. Pom Harajuku Vs HIMAWARI
It has not been decided yet which matches will take place when. Two will be held at the 5th July show in Yokahama Radiant Hall and the remaining two takes place in Shinjuku FACE on 8th July. The match placements will take the rest of the show cards into consideration. For example maybe Moka Miyamoto will have another match with Suzume in Yokohama to build up their upcoming title match so that would mean Miyamoto’s qualifier against Kaya Toribami would have to take place in Shinjuku.
Over the weekend Sayuri Namba and Rise Shirai held the draw for the 1st Round Qualifying matches of this year’s Tokyo Princess Cup. The matches are as follows:
-. Kaya Toribami Vs Chika Nanase
-. HIMAWARI Vs Mifu Ashida
-. Toga Vs Ivy Steele
-. Haru Kazashiro Vs Konatsu
-. Wakana Uehara Vs Kira Summer
-. Pom Harajuku Vs Haruna Neko
-. Mahiro Kiryu Vs Moka Miyamoto
-. Shino Suzuki Vs Uta Takami
It has been announced yet which matches will be held on the upcoming shows. They do not have to be in any order because another draw will be held for the 2nd Round to pair off all of the winners.

7. Mizuki & Haru Kazashiro defeated Miu Watanabe & Shino Suzuki when Mizuki pinned Suzuki with the Cutie Special (15:25).
The hometown girl Shino Suzuki was put through her paces in the main event. Mizuki kept breaking out of her Sleeper Hold but in return Suzuki fought to avoid being put in the Face Lock. Suzuki’s last gaps came from throwing some Elbow Strikes but Mizuki knocked her away with a Back Elbow and got the pin with the Cutie Special. Mizuki got on the microphone after the match and said there are so many people here today who love Suzuki! She secretly would have liked Suzuki to win today but she couldn’t let that happen. Mizuki still has to show her what Tokyo Joshi Pro is like right now. She hopes Suzuki will get stronger so one they they can fight each other for a championship. She also praised Haru Kazashiro and said Miu Watanabe is still a monster but she has become more like a princess now. Suzuki admitted when she lived in Shizuoka nothing she did went well for her. She thought it was a city where people gave up on their dreams. But she found pro wrestling and became really passionate for it so she now loves this city and is proud to come back here.
Is Uta Takami now a part of the Itoh Respect Army? She and Maki Itoh sang “Setsunairo” together for their entrance. That’s the song Itoh made with Mizuki for the original Itoh Respect Army tag team.
An out of the ring chase caused Pom Harajuku to try and trap Rika Tatsumi out of the room by closing a shutter gate on her. Tatsumi though had the strength to lift the gate above her head so she could get back in.
The apprentice ring announcer Rise Shirai did the match calls for the opening bout.

7. Yoshiko Hasegawa, HIMAWARI & Shino Suzuki defeated Suzume, Arisu Endo & Haru Kazashiro when Hasegawa submitted Kazashiro with the Muffler Hold (13:00).
Yoshiko Hasegawa said she was able to win the main event thanks to the wrestlers she was teaming with. But next time she will have to fight alone when she challenges Suzume for the International Princess Title. That match happens on 31st May at Shino Suzuki’s homecoming show so she told her they have both have to win there. She wants to see her juniors live selfishly like she is right now. HIMAWARI later said she wants to keep winning too so she can challenge for the IP Title again. Backstage Suzume said she could feel the sincerity coming from Hasegawa and it is firing her up for the title match.
The four year anniversary of Kaya Toribami’s pro wrestling debut is coming up soon. She was introduced to Tokyo Joshi Pro by Shoko Nakajima and while she had fun wrestling on the undercards, she never considered herself as someone who could challenge her seniors for championships. But recently her feelings about that changed and she now wants to have a passionate title match with Nakajima where she can fight her heart out! Nakajima asked which of her two championships does Toribami want to fight her for and she picked the MLW Women’s World Featherweight Title because she wants a singles match with Nakajima in particular. Nakajima said she understands Toribami’s abilities better than anyone and then explained she needs this championship to keep going back to America. The title is also a magical belt that can make dreams come true. It can transform a small Japanese girl into a giant monster that can shock the world! Toribami understood and promised to go beyond her potential to try and take it from her. The title match will take place on 7th June, the first day of Toribami’s fifth year as a pro wrestler. Backstage Nakajima approved of what Toribami did today because she normally doesn’t stand out much. She thinks it would do Toribami some good if she stood out more.
The new ring announcer and replacement for Sayuri Namba was properly introduced to everybody for the first time after being revealed on a Youtube video yesterday. Rise Shirai will begin her new role on the 24th May show acting as Namba’s apprentice for one month. The apprenticeship will last up until Namba’s graduation in June.
