In just a few days time Tokyo Joshi Pro will be heading over to Texas and when they return, “GRAND PRINCESS ’26” will be just around the corner. So today was the last TJPW show in Japan before they go back to Sumo Hall on 29th March. The main event had a mixture of wrestlers from Ryogoku’s biggest matches in action. Yuki Arai teamed up with the ToJo Tokusatsu Club and was encouraged to form the base of their Megazord (to predictable results). Ober Eats and Suzume wanted to keep themselves sharp for their upcoming titles matches as well. But the final three minutes of the match belonged to Arai facing off against Miu Watanabe. The two fought to a stalemate with Watanabe powering out of the Scorpion Death Lock to give Arai a Giant Swing and Arai using her last gasp of strength to throw Watanabe down with the Full Nelson Buster. Both women were laid out after that exchange and the bell rang for the 20 minute time limit reaching its end. The two still wanted to continue wrestling each other after the match and had to be pulled apart by their teams.

After the match Watanabe told Arai she never thought they would become friends who could push each other to this level and become rivals. She wants them to have the best match TJPW can have on 29th March. Arai said she’s been watching Watanabe and her love for pro wrestling ever since Arai debuted five years ago. She’s happy to be called a rival but she thinks she can still do more. Arai is now determined to push herself forward even further so she won’t lose to Watanabe.

Arisu Endo is getting annoyed that all the talk about her match at Sumo Hall is about Miyu Yamashita being in the ring with Sareee & Takumi Iroha. It’s bothering her how she is being left out of the conversation. It motivated her to pick up the win for her team today and to do that again against Spark Rush. Yamashita thinks Endo is in good condition for the match and it is destiny for it to happen this way. She doesn’t think this matchup will ever happen again so she wants to enjoy it with all of her heart and soul. She also wants to win too which will make her and Endo enjoy it even more.

Today is Kaya Toribami’s last match under her current gimmick. The next time we will see her in the ring she will become Sakura Hattori. She said backstage after her match that in the five years of her career she has looked up to strong seniors and been supported by excellent juniors. Thanks to them all she was able to understand her own capabilities. She also got to wrestle her last match in this gimmick against HIMAWARI, the first junior she had a singles match with. She praised her too for also growing stronger and giving it her all today.

Pom Harajuku wanted to help out Mizuki for her preparations to fight Andreza Giant Panda at Sumo Hall. So Harajuku wrestled their match today dressed in an oversized panda costume. The inflated costume protected Harajuku from Mizuki’s strikes but it was also big enough to negatively effect Harajuku’s fast movements. Mizuki continued the running joke of her stealing Harajuku’s shoe and she tried to fit it onto her handle to make a replacement Pico Pico Hammer. But the moment she tried to swing it, the shoe flew off the handle into the audience. Mizuki then found the zip at the back of the costume and pulled it open, eventually forcing Harajuku to take it off completely. Mizuki grabbed the costume, hit her opponent in the face with it, stole her shoe again and pinned her with the Cutie Special.

After the match an unusual person appeared carrying the head of Mizuki’s Pico Pico Hammer. It was Mr. USA from New Nemuro Pro Wrestling, the home promotion of Andreza Giant Panda. Mizuki tried to get the hammer off him but he fought her off and took the rest of the hammer’s remains from her. He told Mizuki she now has no chance of beating Andreza without the hammer and left her in the ring where she had a small a hissyfit over her stuff getting stolen. However she said backstage she was able to beat “Pom-chan Panda” today so she will manage to find a way to beat Andreza at Sumo Hall.

Everyone in the 4 Way Match felt something was missing and it wasn’t until afterward that they noticed none of them had the Iron Man Heavymetalweight Title around. Mahiro Kiryu asked who currently has the belt and someone in the crowd answered Hisaya Imabayashi. Then Rika Tatsumi told her that she saw him working at the merchandise booth earlier. Chika Nanase went over to find him and bring him to the ring to explain himself. He was wearing a tracksuit jacket but Raku pulled it open to reveal he was wearing the Iron Man Title belt beneath it! Kiryu asked him to give it back but he refused because he is meant to defend it at the DDT 29th Anniversary show on 22nd March. If he were to lose it before then it would cause a lot of trouble. Kiryu then ordered everyone to attack him but in the chaos, everyone ended up stomping on Kiryu instead while Imabayashi escaped out of harm’s way. He declared he will defend the belt in DDT and will then stand in the ring at Sumo Hall as a champion for an all out war between DDT and TJPW! The reason for this is because TJPW pays him a full wage whenever he works here while DDT only gives him a fixed monthly salary no matter how much work he does for them. Backstage Tatsumi said she will make Kiryu go and get the title back before Sumo Hall. Mifu Ashida cheered for Kiryu to do her best.

Something that Kira Summer had wanted for a long time was a singles match with Hyper Misao because she has a lot of respect for her. So much so that she was prepared for Misao’s tricks, like putting on goggles to protect her eyes from the Hero Spray. She was able to pull Summer’s goggles off and spray her in the eyes anyway. Misao used a Camel Clutch version of the Chickenwing Face Lock to win the match.

The new championship belts for the Princess Of Princess Title, the International Princess Title and the Princess Tag Team Titles were put on display at the show.

For the first time in 2026 BASARA will go back to the courtroom for a Turnabout Pro Wrestling trial. Ayato Yoshida will be stepping into stand as the defendant while Gouma Ryu and Banana Senga will argue their cases over him. What Yoshida is on trial for hasn’t been revealed yet.

DDT “DDT X MOP WRESTLE TOUR 2026 IN MITSUI OUTLET TAMA MINAMIOSAWA”, 28/03/2026
Tokyo Mitsui Outlet Park Tama Minamiosawa

1. MOP Tag Team Titles: X & X Vs X & X

A new business deal has been put together this year for DDT to hold wrestling shows at different Mitsui Outlet Park shopping centers. As part of this deal a new championship has been created to be exclusively defended at these shows. The inaugural MOP Tag Team Champions will be crowned at the first show being held at the end of the month. There will be at least two other shows as part of the tour happening in April.

DDT “DREAM LIGHTS ~HOW DO YOU LIKE DDT WEDNESDAY~”, 15/04/2026
Tokyo Korakuen Hall

0. Dramatic Dark Match: Sanshiro Takagi Vs Ilusion
1. Special Single Match: YOH Vs Antonio Honda
2. DDT Extreme Title: To-y (c) Vs X
3. KO-D Openweight Title: Yuki Ueno (c) Vs X

One of the memorable interactions that happened at last year’s Toru Yano Vs Super Sasadango Machine one match show was Antonio Honda and YOH bonding over a Gongitsune joke. YOH has a hatred of foxes going back to when he was bitten by one as a child but Honda got him to join in with telling the joke. Now almost one year later they will meet in the ring again, this time one on one against each other in a wrestling match!

DDT “YAMADA SUISAN CO., LTD. PRESENTS GATHERING! THE THREE UNAGI SIBLINGS! ~IN ONE POND~”, 19/04/2026
Kagoshima Shibushi City “Unagi Station” Special Venue

1. Gathering! The Three Unagi Siblings! ~In One Pond~ Special 6-Man Tag Match: Unagi Mask, Super Unagi Mask & Unagi Mask Woman Vs Aja Kong, Chris Brookes & Antonio Honda

DDT also has their sponsorship with Yamada Suisan going on for another year. The seafood wrestling storyline has taken a turn with the appearance of Unagi Mask Woman. She was said to be just a Yamada Suisan employee who wanted to become a pro wrestler but the real story is that she, Unagi Mask and Super Unagi Mask are all siblings who spent their lives near each other without ever knowing about it! The family needs to be a united force because Chris Brookes & Antonio Honda have formed an alliance with Aja Kong to wipe out the sea food loving wrestlers!


Shinjuku FACE Closing Down This Year, Super Japan You’re Confusing Me

March 10, 2026

DDT “ICHIKABACHIKA 2026”, 11/03/2026

6. KO-D 6-Man Tag Team Titles: Yuki Ueno, To-y & Kaisei Takechi (c) Vs Takeshi Masada, Yuya Koroku & Daichi Sato

Rumours were swirling around yesterday when a Japanese wrestling blog Kakutolog posted a story about Shinjuku FACE possibly shutting down its doors later this year. Sadly, today the venue’s management confirmed that Shinjuku FACE will be closing down on 30th September when their fixed-term lease with the building expires. To say this is a blow for the Japanese wrestling scene is an understatement given how so many wrestling companies are based in Tokyo and have relied on Shinjuku FACE to put on shows that aren’t on the level of Korakuen Hall but are still easy to access deep in the heart of that city. If Korakuen Hall is where you go to get a heat check on a wrestling company, Shinjuku FACE is where you will experience that company’s status quo. It will have a negative effect on the CyberFight promotions for sure because of how often they’ve booked shows in there over the last 20 years.

Kota Sekifuda has been brought in to take the place of the injured Yuni in Match #1.

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “GRAND PRINCESS ’26: FATE IN RYOGOKU”, 15/03/2026

Tokyo Takashimadaira Kumin Center

1. Takeru Inoue Vs SAGAT
2. Daiki Shimomura Vs Masato Kamino
3. Isami Kodaka & Takato Nakano Vs Takumi Tsukamoto & Tatsuya Hanami
4. FUMA & Seiya Morohashi Vs Daichi Kazato & Ayato Yoshida
5. Battle Royal: Ryota Nakatsu Vs Ryuichi Sekine Vs Trans-Am ★ Hiroshi Vs Lil’ Kraken Vs Yasu Urano Vs Shuji Ishikawa

A little change of pace for the next BASARA show. A Battle Royal will take place and with Shuji Ishikawa taking part, the winner could be likely to get a Union MAX Title shot against him in the future. That’s the only reason I see this match happening.

SUPER JAPAN “JUDGEMENT”, 24/03/2026
Shinjuku FACE

1. 3 Way Match: Hiroshi Yamato Vs Gym Trainer Kotoka Vs Ippanjin Munenori Sawa

5. Special Single Match: Yuji Nagata Vs Fuminori Abe
6. Special Single Match: Shinya Aoki Vs Kazunari Murakami
7. Special Single Match: Sanshiro Takagi Vs Poison Sawada JULIE

What in the hell is this lineup? We’re getting a 6-Man Tag Match between “Goro Tsurumi’s Genes” against the “Toryumon Genes”. Evil Uno is teaming up with Ram Kaichow even though there is also Demonio Uno on the show. The Gym Trainer Kotoka is back to fight the ordinary salaryman Munenori Sawa and city council wrestler Hiroshi Yamato. That’s not all, NOSAWA Rongai is now threatening to invade Super Japan with Mummy wrestlers so who know what else is going to happen here. Maybe at the end of the show the fans vote to shut the whole thing down.

GANBARE☆PRO “THERE WILL BE BLOOD 2026”, 28/03/2026
Shin-Kiba 1st RING

1. Next Challenger Determination – Round 1: Keisuke Ishii Vs Yuya Susumu
2. Next Challenger Determination – Round 1: Shuichiro Katsumura Vs PSYCHO
3. YuuRI Vs Rin
4. Next Challenger Determination – Final: X Vs X

A mini tournament has been put together to decide who will be the next Japanese wrestler to face Mizuki Watase for the Spirit Of Ganbare World Title (he wants to defend the belt in America next month). As part of this tournament Yuya Susumu will finally gets his long awaited singles match against Keisuke Ishii. The other side of the bracket sees Shuichiro Katsumura face PSYCHO.

A big month of singles matches lies ahead for YuuRI. She has two important opponents to fight soon, the first of which is Rin (aka Rin Kadokura) as part of Rin’s road to retirement.

DDT “NO SPOILERS EVENT VOL. 4 IN UENO”, 01/04/2026

A “No Spoilers” show being held on April Fool’s Day? Actually that might make it easy because nobody will be allowed to post prank results along with the real ones. By the time midnight comes it will be smooth sailing for me to post the results!

By this point Daisuke Sasaki will have started his tour of North America but while he is gone, three fakes of him are going to appear in his place. It will be up to the rest of DAMNATION T.A to deal with them.

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

1. YuuRI Vs Utami Hayashihita
2. Ken Ohka 25th Anniversary Match: Ken Ohka & Guts Ishijima Vs Masaaki Mochizuki & Ryota Nakatsu

Friends and foes alike will be gathering together to celebrate not only Ganbare☆Pro’s 13th Anniversary but also Ken Ohka’s 25th Anniversary in wrestling as well. He recently beat Guts Ishijima for the TTT Indie Unified Openweight Title but here they will be tag partners. Masaaki Mochizuki returns to GanPro for the first time since losing the SOG Title. Ryota Nakatsu is also coming over from BASARA to take part in Ohka’s match.

The second of YuuRI’s big matches will be against Marigold’s own Utami Hayashihita!


TOKYO JOSHI PRO “THE 6TH “FUTARI WA PRINCESS” MAX HEART TOURNAMENT” Results

January 25, 2026

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “THE 6TH “FUTARI WA PRINCESS” MAX HEART TOURNAMENT”, 25/01/2026
Tokyo Ryogoku KFC Hall
347 Fans – Super No Vacancy

1. Kira Summer & Chika Nanase defeated Toga & Shion Kanzaki when Nanase submitted Kanzaki with the Inari Torii Aratame (9:58).
2. Hyper Misao, HIMAWARI & Shino Suzuki defeated Mahiro Kiryu, Raku & Ren Konatsu when Misao pinned Konatsu with the Hypami Returns (10:47).
3. Shoko Nakajima defeated Sara Phoenix with the Northern Lights Suplex (8:45).
4. “Futari wa Princess” Max Heart Tournament – Round 2: Mizuki & Uta Takami defeated Yuki Aino & Haru Kazashiro when Takami pinned Kazashiro after the Foot Stomp from Mizuki (13:46).
5. “Futari wa Princess” Max Heart Tournament – Round 2: Suzume & Arisu Endo defeated Miyu Yamashita & Kaya Toribami when Endo pinned Toribami with the Ju no Okite (12:20).
6. “Futari wa Princess” Max Heart Tournament – Round 2: Max The Impaler & Pom Harajuku defeated Miu Watanabe & Rika Tatsumi when Max pinned Tatsumi with the Reverse Splash (15:20).
7. “Futari wa Princess” Max Heart Tournament – Round 2: Yuki Kamifuku & Wakana Uehara defeated Yuki Arai & Mifu Ashida when Uehara submitted Ashida with the Banana Pillow (12:05).

With Round 2 out of the way now every team in this year’s Max Heart Tournament have had a match. Ober Eats are currently the team to be since they are the reigning Princess Tag Team Champions. They also knocked out the team featuring one half of the upcoming Sumo Hall main event. Kyoto Tag had their moment of taunting Wakana Uehara with some cheerleading but Yuki Kamifuku and her Big Boots were there to keep things in favour of the champions. While Yuki Arai was able to get rid of her with a Brainbuster, Mifu Ashida wasn’t able to capitalise. Instead Uehara trapped her in the Banana Pillow to get the win and advance Ober Eats into the semi finals. Uehara really wants to win the Max Heart trophies and she’s noticing that Kamifuku is becoming hungry for success too even though she’s not showing it. Ashida said if Kyoto Tag would have won today, they would have revealed their official tag team name. Unfortunately it’s going to be kept secret for a while longer. Ashida even thought up lyrics for a new entrance song. The only line she would reveal is “I love you, Arai♪ Let’s try harder♪” and it took up a lot of her brain power to come up with it.

The other half of the Sumo Hall main event was also knocked out of the tournament today despite her best efforts with her tag partner. Daydream walked out armed with their sasumata poles in an attempt to trap Pompaler with them. The poles worked on Pom Harajuku but Max The Impaler was able to power their way out of the trap. Miu Watanabe & Rika Tatsumi did what they could to slow Max down, even by using Harajuku as a weapon against them. But Max did the same to Daydream before pinning Tatsumi with the Reverse Splash for the victory. Daydream are both relieved they are still alive after the match but are disappointed to be knocked out so early. Both of them want to achieve a lot together this year whether if it is Daydream winning Best Tag Team Awards or Tatsumi becoming the Dragon God of everything. Pompaler now face Ober Eats in the semi final and the champions are not looking forward to that.

Only one team of former winners remain in the final four and that’s Daisy Monkey. They had to go through the kick heavy team of K!SS// to get here. Arisu Endo was able to block Kaya Toribami from going for the Sento Choryu while Suzume took out Miyu Yamashita with the Ring A Bell. Toribami tried to kick her way out of trouble but Endo stunned her with a Super Kick before getting the win using her Ju no Okite finisher. Daisy Monkey are feeling confident together now they are reunited and they really want to win this tournament again. They also now wonder if they can challenge K!SS// for the IWA Japan SETUP World Tag Team Titles? Would they have to go to Thailand to make it happen? K!SS// already have a title defence lined up over there happening next month though.

In something of an upset, the makeshift team of Mizuki & Uta Takami have eliminated Shunrai Rekka!! Prism Greed in the 2nd Round! Mizuki’s craftiness won out in the end when she saw an opening to do a Double Stomp onto Haru Kazashiro while she was trying to bridge a pin on top of Takami. Kazashiro didn’t notice that Takami rolled out of the way and definitely didn’t expect Mizuki to come in and stomp her flat. Takami immediately jumped on top for the pin and got the three count. Yuki Aino apologised for not being there to stop the pin but Kazashiro told her neither of them are to blame for losing. Mizuki said that since the team has made it this far, they should make a miracle happen and go even further. They have to beat Daisy Monkey in the semi final if they want to make that miracle a reality.

Super Sasadango Machine was in attendance for the show to help promote “GRAND PRINCESS ’26” happening at Sumo Hall on 29th March. He is the PR Ambassador for the show but wants everybody in Tokyo Joshi Pro to do their part in promoting the big event. That includes Tetsuya Koda who received a big request from Sasadango. Koda was told to go find an important special guest from outside of wrestling to come to the show and have a debut match! The guest needs to be such a big name that her appearance by itself can fill up Sumo Hall. Koda agreed to take the request and will find someone famous to compete in their pro wrestling debut.

Sasadango was brought back out later in the show because he was part of another important announcement. Hyper Misao declared that she is going to take on Yuka Sakazaki & Konosuke Takeshita at “GRAND PRINCESS ’26” and Sasadango will be her tag team partner! Sasadango was confused because he thought the newly married couple of Shingo Takagi & Natsupoi were going to be the mystery team facing Sakazaki & Takeshita. Misao told him to shut up and explained the better opponents for them would be the most incomprehensible tag team the wrestling world can come up with, which is Misao & Sasadango. Misao also wanted to fire up Sasadango because his efforts to promote “GRAND PRINCESS ’26” lately haven’t been up to his usual standards. Even if Sasadango’s appearance on the show only sells one ticket, how can he expect to sell out Sumo Hall if he can’t even take care of the one precious fan who bought that ticket? She also explained that the PR in TJPW PR Ambassador means Pro Wrestling Ring, not Public Relations. That means Sasadango has no choice but to accept this match! Misao also has another goal she wants to achieve out of this. She wants to beat Sakazaki & Takeshita so she can earn four contracts across DDT, TJPW, AEW and New Japan all at the same time! Sasadango is thinking even bigger and wants to get contracts with every wrestling company out there.

Something to look on the bright side over Shoko Nakajima being knocked out of the tournament so early is she now gets to give Sara Phoenix a first time ever singles match on the undercard.

Super Sasadango Machine will be at the show as part of his PR Ambassador role for “GRAND PRINCESS ’26”. He will give everyone a greetings message in the ring.

GANBARE☆PRO “NEW YEAR’S BLUES 2026”, 31/01/2026
Shin-Kiba 1st RING

1. Yumehito Imanari & Keisuke Ishii Vs Shuichiro Katsumura & Yuya Susumu
2. Spirit Of Ganbare World Openweight Title: Masaaki Mochizuki (c) Vs Shinichiro Tominaga

The upcoming snap elections happening in Japan’s House Of Representatives has caused an unintended side effect for Ganbare☆Pro’s next event. They are supposed to have a show in Takashimadaira Kumin Center on 31st January but the building will no longer be available on that date in order to be turned into a polling station for early voters. GanPro were able to act quickly and book Shin-Kiba 1st RING as the replacement venue for the same date and start time. They felt the need to go ahead with the show because they’ve already sold tickets and would find it difficult to reschedule the guest wrestlers they have booked for it.

There’s a two week pause in the D GENERATIONS CUP now that we’re at around the halfway point. Daichi Sato currently leads the A Block by himself while Yuya Koroku and Rukiya are both tied for first in the B Block. To-y, Yuki Ishida, Kazuma Sumi, Yuni and Takeshi Masada all still have fighting chances of making the final while Ilusion and Hinata Kasai are both out of the running.

Kazusada Higuchi has to take another leave of absence for now, this time because of a neck injury. There is no timeline yet for how long he will be out of action for.

The other possible candidates are Daydream and Daisy Monkey. There is also a chance for Miyu Yamashita to be the first two-time winner but with two different partners.

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “TJPW AUTUMN VICTORY IN RYOGOKU” Results

October 26, 2025

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “TJPW AUTUMN VICTORY IN RYOGOKU”, 26/10/2025
Tokyo Ryogoku KFC Hall
282 Fans

1. Arisu Endo defeated Ren Konatsu with the Camel Clutch (7:53).
-. Iron Man Heavymetalweight Title: Rika Tatsumi defeated Mahiro Kiryu (c) with the Sliding Hip Lock (1:05 pm).
*Rika Tatsumi becomes the 1,779th champion.
2. Hyper Misao & Raku defeated Rika Tatsumi & Mahiro Kiryu when Raku pinned Kiryu with the Hurricane Turn (10:51).
3. Miyu Yamashita & Kaya Toribami defeated Suzume & Pom Harajuku when Yamashita pinned Harajuku with the Attitude Adjustment (10:26).
4. Mizuki defeated Toga with the Diving Foot Stomp (8:05).
5. Next Generation Tournament ’25 – Final: Chika Nanase defeated Uta Takami with the Elbow Butt (6:59).
5a. Next Generation Tournament ’25 – Final Rematch: Uta Takami defeated Chika Nanase with the Koala Clutch (2:58).
6. Miu Watanabe & Yuki Aino defeated Yuki Arai & Mifu Ashida when Aino submitted Ashida with the Full Nelson Of Love And Flame (12:08).
7. HIMAWARI, Shino Suzuki & Haru Kazashiro defeated Yuki Kamifuku, Wakana Uehara & Kira Summer when HIMAWARI pinned Summmer with the Sunflower Tempest (13:18).

The next challengers for the Princess Tag Team Titles are starting to piece it all together. HIMAWARI & Shino Suzuki got a trios tag win against Ober Eats today with some help from Haru Kazashiro along the way. HIMAWARI was saved from taking a Crab Hold from Kira Summer and then went on to pin her with the Sunflower Tempest. After the match HIMAWARI said while she was in China last week she still kept an eye on Suzuki’s matches to see how she fared without her. Kazashiro called the two of them her best friends from the 2023 Class so she will be cheering for them in the title match. HIMAWARI & Suzuki then revealed their tag team name. They are called Bumping gRitters! They decided to combine the words grit with glitter to make “gRitters” because they fight like shining stones colliding head-on with their opponents! They also warn that Ober Eats better start paying attention to them because they will be charging head-on into them. Ober Eats aren’t taking them seriously though. Yuki Kamifuku joked that the other team placed a curse on them to make her hair grow longer while Wakana Uehara misheard the team name and thinks Bumping gRitters are called Pumpkin Pudding.

The finals of the Next Generation Tournament went all the way into having a bracket reset. Due to the double elimination rules, Chika Nanase needed to win two matches back to back while Uta Takami only needed to beat Nanase one time to be crowned the grand champion. Nanase was able to beat Takami by breaking out of the Koala Clutch and hitting Takami with Elbow Butts until she could pin her for the three count. A rematch immediately took place and Nanase tried to lock in the Inari Torii submission hold. Instead Takami escaped from it and trapped Nanase in the Koala Clutch, forcing her to give up. After Takami received her winner’s medal she called out Arisu Endo and used her title shot prize to make a challenge for the International Princess Title. Endo said she already wants to have a singles match against this version of Takami so it will happen on 9th November at Korakuen Hall.

Takami later explained that even though she admires Miu Watanabe the most, she knows she cannot become like her. But the wrestlers her size like Endo, Shoko Nakajima and Suzume have since become the shining lights for her to follow. Endo is the wrestler closest to what Takami wants to turn into which is why she is challenging her instead of Watanabe. Meanwhile Nanase said she is going to spend the rest of today being completely depressed to get it out of her syste, Then she can come out of it feeling refreshed and ready to take on the next challenge.

Mahiro Kiryu learned the harsh lesson about being the Iron Man Heavymetalweight Champion and that is to not trust anybody. Both Hyper Misao & Raku wanted to win the belt and agreed with each other that there wouldn’t be any hard feelings between them if one got the title instead of the other. They then attempted to ambush Kiryu & Rika Tatsumi during their entrance only to discover the team entered from the other side of the room. Both of them tried to pin Kiryu outside the ring anyway but Tatsumi protected her by strangling the other team at ringside. But with the opposition taken care of, Tatsumi then turned hover to Kiryu used the Sliding Hip Attack on her to win the Iron Man Title for herself! The tag match continued and Tatsumi even saved Kiryu from getting pinned but Raku ended up using the Hurricane Turn on Kiryu to win the match. Tatsumi was still the champion though and she happily ran away with the belt. She said that when Tokyo Joshi Pro has their show with OCHA NORMA in December, she will still be the champion by then and she will give the belt to her favorite member Natsume Nakayama as a gift! Until then she won’t accept any challenges and will run away from anyone wanting to fight her.

Today’s show was the first TJPW event to only feature female referees for every match. Fumirin was joined by Yoko Chihana who usually works as a referee for JTO.

Uta Takami is the Fukuoka SoftBank Hawks who already started the series with a one win advantage and had taken the early lead at that point while Chika Nanase is the Hokkaido Nippon-Ham Fighters who needed to make a big comeback to keep the series going. It’s been a few days since that tweet was put out there and the Hawks ended up winning the series, so things are looking good for Takami.

Next Gen Tournament Final, New Title Bouts, Malaysia Match Updates

October 20, 2025

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “TJPW AUTUMN VICTORY IN RYOGOKU”, 26/10/2025
Tokyo Ryogoku KFC Hall

1. Next Generation Tournament ’25 – Final: Uta Takami Vs Chika Nanase
2. Arisu Endo Vs Ren Konatsu
3. Mizuki Vs Toga
4. Rika Tatsumi & Mahiro Kiryu Vs Hyper Misao & Raku

6. Yuki Kamifuku, Wakana Uehara & Kira Summer Vs HIMAWARI, Shino Suzuki & Haru Kazashiro
7. Miu Watanabe & Yuki Aino Vs Yuki Arai & Mifu Ashida

Due to the Double Elimination format, Uta Takami only needs to beat Chika Nanase once to win the Next Generation Tournament because Nanase has already lost once in the competition. Since Takami has been unbeaten for the whole tournament, Nanase will need to beat her twice in order to become the tournament winner. If Nanase does beat Takami here they will immediately start the grand final rematch to crown the winner.

Shoko Nakajima won’t be at the show because she will be wrestling in Mexico around the same time period.

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

1. MLW Women’s World Featherweight Title: Shoko Nakajima (c) Vs X
2. Princess Tag Team Titles: Yuki Kamifuku & Wakana Uehara (c) Vs HIMAWARI & Shino Suzuki
3. Princess Of Princess Title: Miu Watanabe (c) Vs J-Rod

An American challenger now awaits Miu Watanabe. All she knows about J-Rod is she looks muscular in her pictures so Watanabe is expecting a power versus power battle over the belt.

Ober Eats next have HIMAWARI & Shino Suzuki as the next challengers standing in their way. Yuki Kamifuku isn’t worried because she thinks her team with Wakana Uehara are leagues ahead of their opponents. So much so that she is naming other team Plain Long Hair.

Right as I am typing up this post, Tokyo Joshi Pro tweeted that Nakajima will defend the MLW Women’s World Featherweight Title on this show. Her opponent will be revealed tomorrow.

GanPro has a secret weapon up their sleeve for the semi-main event. Yumehito Imanari & Yuna Manase will be accompanied by Nobita as their ringside attendant. Nobita is the nickname of Takahiro Nakayama, a GanPro staff member who was a pro wrestler for a very brief amount of time back in 2014. The FREEDOMS wrestlers had been bullying him around whenever they showed up at GanPro shows, unaware of his background. If Takashi Sasaki & Toru Sugiura are not careful he might decide to start fighting back!

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “TJPW AUTUMN VICTORY IN RYOGOKU”, 26/10/2025
Tokyo Ryogoku KFC Hall

1. Next Generation Tournament ’25 – Final: Uta Takami Vs Winner Of Losers Bracket

Takami is in the driver’s seat because she will need to be beaten twice due to the double elimination format. Summer and Nanase cannot afford to lose at all for the rest of the tournament.

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

1. Princess Tag Team Titles: Yuki Kamifuku & Wakana Uehara (c) Vs HIMAWARI & Shino Suzuki
2. Princess Of Princess Title: Miu Watanabe (c) Vs J-Rod

The next wrestler from America has been chosen to go on tour with Tokyo Joshi Pro this November. J-Rod has around three years of experience since graduating from the NJPW Academy in America with Ohio Valley Wrestling being her current most regular promotion. The “Ultimate Athlete” will debut in TJPW on the 1st November show but the big match of her tour will be fighting either Miu Watanabe or Yuki Aino for the Princess Of Princess Title at November’s Korakuen show.

I don’t mind this trend of tag teams getting themselves in line for a future Princess Tag Team Titles shot while the champions still have other challengers to get through. HIMAWARI & Shino Suzuki have teamed on and off together this year but both are feeling left behind by other wrestlers from their class. The two are taking their team to the next level by challenging the winners of Ober Eats Vs Hot Shot for the titles.

SUPER JAPAN “NEVER MIND”, 29/12/2025
Shinjuku FACE

1. Special Tag Match: MIKAMI & Takashi Sasaki Vs X & X
2. Special 6-Man Tag Match: Sanshiro Takagi, Jun Kasai & Ippanjin Munenori Sawa Vs Yuji Nagata, Kuroshio TOKYO Japan & Fuminori Abe

The last Super Japan show of the year is being advertised as the season finale of year one. Sanshiro Takagi is so happy with how Yuji Nagata has turned out as his chosen ace that he wants to wrestle Nagata himself. He also wants to team with Munenori Sawa again and expected Nagata to get more plenty of people offering to team with him so Jun Kasai was brought in to even up the numbers. Nagata has both Kuroshio TOKYO Japan & Fuminori Abe wanting to join his side so the two teams are now set.

Super Japan serves as an alternate take of what DDT could have turned into if Takagi chose that name instead of Dramatic Dream Team back in 1997. In DDT, MIKAMI & Takashi Sasaki were more like rivals than partners despite once holding the KO-D Tag Titles together back in 2002. So Takagi wants to see what it would be like if the two of them were a tag team from the beginning instead of opponents. MIKAMI & Sasaki are both curious to find out for themselves as well.
