7. Yuki Arai, Suzume & HIMAWARI Vs Shoko Nakajima, Uta Takami & Chika Nanase

The main event is dialled down from being an 8-Woman Tag to a 6-Woman Tag because Arisu Endo still needs time to recover from her injury and will not be able to wrestle tomorrow. Sakura Hattori has been moved over to the Mizuki Vs Mifu Ashida match to make that a 3 Way bout.

There will be a contract signing before the start of tomorrow’s show for the upcoming Princess Tag Team Titles match between Shunrai Rekka!! Prism Greed and RakuPom. Signings for the other two title matches scheduled for 8th November have already taken place this week.

BAKA GAIJIN + FRIENDS/GANBARE☆PRO “MUNE AID”, 05/11/2026
Tokyo ARENA Shimokitazawa

1. Special Single Match: Chris Brookes Vs Hagane Shinno
2. Special Single Match: MAO Vs Yumehito Imanari

You’ll have to got back to the start of 2022 to find the only previous singles match between Chris Brookes and Hagane Shinno. It was on a Ganbare☆Pro show booked by Shota and the match ended in a Double Pinfall draw.

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “KAMIYU AND HER MERRY FRIENDS ~A SPECIAL CLASS CURSED OBJECT I ENCOUNTERED IN SHIKAKU~”, 27/11/2026
Tokyo Korakuen Hall

1. 4 Way Match: Kuroshio TOKYO Japan Vs Shunma Katsumata Vs Sumire Natsu Vs Mahiro Kiryu
2. Special Single Match: Sanshiro Takagi Vs Shin Sakura Katsushika Hirota
3. Special Tag Match: Aja Kong & VENY Vs Yuki Iino & Yuki Kamifuku

That’s a wacky foursome of friends to throw into a match where it is all against each other. But there’s a reason that Kuroshio TOKYO Japan, Shunma Katsumata, Sumire Natsu and Mahiro Kiryu are in this match that is not just that they all know Yuki Kamifuku on some level. The four of them were also all born in the year 1992!

7. Road To Ultimate Party 2026! Special Elimination 8-Man Tag Match: MAO, KANON, Yuki Iino & Yukio Naya (w/ KIMIHIRO & YUZUKI) Vs Chris Brookes, HARASHIMA, Antonio Honda & Hinata Kasai

With today’s title defence in New Japan done and dusted, Ryusuke Taguchi is heading back to Tokyo for tomorrow’s DDT show where it is confirmed he will be the one putting the DDT Universal Title on the line against Akito.

Even if Taguchi loses the belt tomorrow, he still has interactions with DDT coming up in the near future. Kazuma Sumi has been accepted into this year’s Super Jr. Tag League as Taguchi’s partner after a long period of the two campaigning for it to happen. The tournament will begin next weekend and Sumi will be missing the next few weeks of DDT shows to work the NJPW schedule.

6. Aja Kong & Yuki Kamifuku Vs Miu Watanabe & Pom Harajuku
7. Yuki Arai, Mizuki & Uta Takami Vs Shoko Nakajima, Wakana Uehara & Shino Suzuki

Tomorrow’s Tokyo Joshi Pro show has a few changes to the undercard because both Hyper Misao and Arisu Endo are too injured to take part. Endo made it clear earlier in the week that her back has been bothering her and it’s obviously visible with the amount of medical tape she’s been using lately. Misao hasn’t said what her injury is other than she needs some rest. Raku will now face Mifu Ashida in the singles match while Sakura Hattori hops over to the other corner to be Suzume’s tag partner for Match #4.

We’ll see if Endo and Misao are cleared next weekend for the Saitama show.

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “KAMIYU AND HER MERRY FRIENDS ~A SPECIAL CLASS CURSED OBJECT I ENCOUNTERED IN SHIKAKU~”, 27/11/2026
Tokyo Korakuen Hall

1. Special Single Match: Sanshiro Takagi Vs Shin Sakura Katsushika Hirota
2. Special Tag Match: Aja Kong & VENY Vs Yuki Iino & Yuki Kamifuku

Well the show name says Yuki Kamifuku is gathering together some cursed objects and she’s done it here by booking a Sanshiro Takagi Vs Shin Sakura Katsushika Hirota match inside a TJPW ring. Hirota has impersonated Takagi before but she’s not just going to that again, is she?

This is the match order for Sunday’s DDT show in Korakuen Hall. The first five matches will air live on DDT’s Youtube and social media channels. They are also teasing a big announcement will be made during that period.

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “TJPW FALL TOUR ~RAY OF HOPE IN KASUKABE~”, 24/10/2026
Saitama Katsuki Fureai Cube Matsunaga Multipurpose Hall

1. Next Generation Tournament ’26 – Losers Bracket: Momo Sato Vs Chieri Sakimori
2. Next Generation Tournament ’26 – Winners Bracket: Ren Konatsu Vs Shion Kanzaki
3. Special Tag Match: Miyu Yamashita & Yuki Kamifuku Vs Danshoku Dieno & Super Sasadango Machine

The upcoming round of the Next Generation Tournament has Ren Konatsu and Shion Kanzaki meeting up again while either Momo Sato or Chieri Sakimori are going to earn their first win.

DDT “YOKOHAMA PRO WRESTLING RHAPSODY 2026”, 24/10/2026
Yokohama Radiant Hall

1. KANON Vs Masami Inahata
2. Jun Akiyama & Junta Miyawaki Vs Danshoku Dieno & Super Sasadango Machine
3. HARASHIMA, Naomi Yoshimura & To-y Vs Kazuki Hirata, Soma Takao & Hinata Kasai
4. Special 8-Man Tag Match: Takeshi Masada, Yuya Koroku, Shivam & Yuni Vs Daisuke Sasaki, Hideki Okatani, MJ Paul & Ilusion
5. Special Tag Match: Shunma Katsumata & Yuki Ishida Vs Yuki Ueno & Akito
6. STRANGE LOVE CONNECTION Vs FANTÔMES DRAMATIC!: MAO & Yukio Naya (w/ YUZUKI) Vs Chris Brookes Vs Antonio Honda

DDT will be welcoming “The Ace Of Thai Wrestling” onto their shows later this month. Shivam is a wrestler I’ve written about a lot in the DDT Around The World articles for a good while now whenever a DDT wrestler travelled over to compete on SETUP shows. DDT finally gets to return the favour although wouldn’t Shivam fit in more with DAMNATION T.A rather than against them, given the whole REAL GLOBAL THREAT gimmick?

BASARA “BASARA 319 ~UTAGE AOI – SOUEN~”, 27/10/2026
Shin-Kiba 1st RING

1. Turnabout Pro Wrestling Trial: Shota Nakagawa Vs Banana Senga Vs Gouma Ryu
2. Ryota Nakatsu Vs Tantan Menso
3. 3 Way Tag Match: Trans-Am ★ Hiroshi & Tsutomu Oosugi Vs Daichi Kazato & Yasu Urano Vs SAGAT & Lil’ Kraken
4. Takumi Tsukamoto & Takeru Inoue Vs Isami Kodaka & FUMA
5. Iron Fist Tag Team Titles: Takato Nakano & Masato Kamino (c) Vs Daiki Shimomura & Shuichiro Katsumura

It’s a little suspicious how Shota Nakagawa suddenly just showed up in BASARA one day to take part in the IRON FIST Tag Tournament so I’m not surprised he’s ending up in court next. What do Banana Senga and Gouma Ryu have on him?

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “ALL RISE ’26”, 08/11/2026
Tokyo Korakuen Hall

1. Next Generation Tournament ’26 – Final: Winner Of Winners Bracket Vs Winner Of Losers Bracket
2. Yui Debut Match: Yui Vs X
3. Shiori Futaba Debut Match: Shiori Futaba Vs X
4. Yuki Kamifuku & Nagisa Nozaki Vs X & X
5. International Princess Title: Suzume (c) Vs Uta Takami
6. Princess Tag Team Titles: Yuki Aino & Haru Kazashiro (c) Vs Raku & Pom Harajuku
7. Princess Of Princess Title: Yuki Arai (c) Vs Shoko Nakajima

A time limit draw on yesterday’s show is spurring on Suzume and Uta Takami to continue fighting until they can determine a winner. It now begins Suzume’s quest to make the International Princess Title shine just as brightly as the Princess Of Princess Title.

Miyu Yamashita, HIMAWARI and Sakura Hattori will all be missing from the show. Yamashita will be wrestling in England for EVE that weekend while the other two both have scheduling conflicts.

Great Wakabayashi-kun Returns, Upcoming BASARA Title Matches, A Love Triangle Is Happening To Love Triangle

October 13, 2026

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “TJPW INSPIRATION”, 14/10/2026
TOKYO SQUARE In Itabashi

1. 3 Way Match: Rika Tatsumi/Great Wakabayashi-kun Vs Pom Harajuku Vs HIMAWARI
2. Next Generation Tournament ’26 – Round 1B: Shion Kanzaki Vs Chieri Sakimori
3. MIRAI Vs Momo Sato
4. Suzume & Arisu Endo Vs Haru Kazashiro & Uta Takami
5. Shoko Nakajima & Pokotan Vs Yuki Kamifuku & Zac (Battle Mode)

Earlier this year Rika Tatsumi debuted a new personality at “GRAND PRINCESS ’26” named The Great Wakabayashi-kun. The alter ego hasn’t been seen since but Tokyo Joshi Pro has received word that Wakabayashi-kun will re-emerge at tomorrow’s “TJPW INSPIRATION” show.

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “TJPW FALL TOUR ~RAY OF HOPE IN KASUKABE~”, 24/10/2026
Saitama Katsuki Fureai Cube Matsunaga Multipurpose Hall

1. Next Generation Tournament ’26 – Losers Bracket: Momo Sato Vs Loser Of Match 1B
2. Next Generation Tournament ’26 – Winners Bracket: Ren Konatsu Vs Winner Of Match 1B
3. Special Tag Match: Miyu Yamashita & Yuki Kamifuku Vs Danshoku Dieno & Super Sasadango Machine

After the first Next Generation Tournament match took place we can now see Ren Konatsu going in the right direction and Momo Sato heading towards the wrong direction.

BASARA “BASARA 319 ~UTAGE AOI – SOUEN~”, 27/10/2026
Shin-Kiba 1st RING

1. Iron Fist Tag Team Titles: Takato Nakano & Masato Kamino (c) Vs Daiki Shimomura & Shuichiro Katsumura

The makeshift duo of Daiki Shimomura & Shuichiro Katsumura ended up winning the IRON FIST Tag Tournament and are now set to face Aijin Tag for the Iron Fist Tag Team Titles.

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “ALL RISE ’26”, 08/11/2026
Tokyo Korakuen Hall

1. Next Generation Tournament ’26 – Final: Winner Of Winners Bracket Vs Winner Of Losers Bracket
2. Yui Debut Match: Yui Vs X
3. Shiori Futaba Debut Match: Shiori Futaba Vs X
4. Yuki Kamifuku & Nagisa Nozaki Vs X & X
5. Princess Tag Team Titles: Yuki Aino & Haru Kazashiro (c) Vs Raku & Pom Harajuku
6. Princess Of Princess Title: Yuki Arai (c) Vs Shoko Nakajima

Love Triangle by name, love triangle by nature. The first challengers for Shunrai Rekka!! Prism Greed are Raku & Pom Harajuku. The two of them have been very close with Yuki Aino for many years now with Aino at one time promising the three of them would somehow all hold the Princess Tag Team Titles at the same time. So now that Aino is champions with Haru Kazashiro, the pair known as RakuPom wants to know what gives? It will be Aino and her new love fighting against her old loves. Both the championships and Aino’s fiery heart will be on the line!

So not only are we getting the idol Shiori Futaba making her wrestling debut but TJPW will also be debuting their latest trainee Yui on the same show! I think they may have jumped the gun on holding the Next Gen Tournament right now because if they had waited a month they could have added two or even three more entries to it. All depends on if Futaba will be sticking around after her match.

BASARA “BASARA 321 ~TAKAGARI 36~”, 23/11/2026

1. Union MAX Title: Takumi Tsukamoto (c) Vs Isami Kodaka

Even Isami Kodaka himself would admit he’s past his best days but the chance has come up for him to become the Union MAX Champion one more time. The current champion Takumi Tsukamoto is one of the people Kodaka has entrusted to actually running the company behind the scenes.

1. Sanshiro Takagi & Yuki Ishida Vs Naomi Yoshimura & Masami Inahata
2. Special Tag Match: Jun Akiyama & Daichi Sato Vs Shinya Aoki & Junta Miwawaki
3. Special 6-Man Tag Match: Yuki Ueno, To-y & Kaisei Takechi Vs Danshoku Dieno, Kazuki Hirata & Super Sasadango Machine
4. KO-D 6-Man Tag Team Titles: Daisuke Sasaki, Hideki Okatani & Ilusion (c) Vs Shunma Katsumata, Kazuma Sumi & Yuni

7. DDT Universal Title: Ryusuke Taguchi (c) Vs Akito

DDT made a blunder when announcing the full match card for this show. Originally Kumadori was booked for one of the early matches. Hours later DDT had to change plans and cancel his appearance because Kumadori already has something scheduled with O-MENZ that day. Thus he wouldn’t be able to make it to the show.

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “TJPW FALL TOUR ~RAY OF HOPE IN KASUKABE~”, 24/10/2026
Saitama Katsuki Fureai Cube Matsunaga Multipurpose Hall

1. Next Generation Tournament ’26 – Losers Bracket: Loser Of Match 1A Vs Loser Of Match 1B
2. Next Generation Tournament ’26 – Winners Bracket: Winner Of Match 1A Vs Winner Of Match 1B
3. Special Tag Match: Miyu Yamashita & Yuki Kamifuku Vs Danshoku Dieno & Super Sasadango Machine

The retirement road takes a weird turn with one of Yuki Kamifuku’s upcoming matches. She wants a match against Danshoku Dieno & Super Sasadango Machine. Dieno was an early supporter of Kamifuku as she trained for her debut. She remembers how he praised her for practicing the Eye Poke. Plus they are both dog owners and have a shared bond through how much they love their pets. Sasadango is the first masked wrestler Kamifuku ever watched. As for who she wants to team with, Kamiyu picked Miyu Yamashita because out of everybody in Tokyo Joshi Pro she is the most capable of beating up men.

Next Generation Tournament ’26

September 30, 2026

The fourth annual Next Generation Tournament is open to the members of Tokyo Joshi Pro who have debuted in 2025 or 2026. That means the field is made up of four wrestlers: Ren Konatsu, Shion Kanzaki, Momo Sato and the yet to debut Chieri Sakimori. Just like last year it will be a Double Elimination tournament so wrestlers would have to lose two matches in order to be knocked out of the running. The schedule is laid out for a final to take place where one wrestler only needs to win once while their opponent would have to beat them twice.

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “GOLDEN WEEK FAN APPRECIATION DAY 「EAST」” Results

May 3, 2025

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “GOLDEN WEEK FAN APPRECIATION DAY 「EAST」”, 03/05/2025
Saitama Kasukabe Fureai Cube
374 Fans – Super No Vacancy

1. Yoshiko Hasegawa & Chika Nanase defeated Miu Watanabe & Uta Takami when Hasegawa submitted Takami with the Muffler Hold (10:23).
2. Yuki Arai, Moka Miyamoto & Shino Suzuki defeated Wakana Uehara, Kira Summer & Ivy Steele when Arai submitted Steele with the Scorpion Death Lock (8:37).
3. Yuki Aino & Haru Kazashiro defeated Rika Tatsumi & Toga when Aino pinned Toga with the Venus DDT (11:12).
4. Matcha, Alexis Lee & Nor ‘Phoenix’ Diana defeated Mizuki, Pom Harajuku & Arisu Endo when Diana pinned Harajuku with the DN (11:41).
5. Shoko Nakajima, Hyper Misao & Raku defeated Yuna Manase, Mahiro Kiryu & Haruna Neko when Misao pinned Neko with the Hypami Returns (11:39).
6. VPW Women’s Title: Viva Van defeated Yuki Kamifuku (c) with the Japanese Ocean Cyclone Suplex (7:15)
*Yuki Kamifuku fails in V4. Viva Van becomes the 2nd VPW Women’s Champion!
7. International Princess Title: Suzume (c) defeated HIMAWARI with the Ring A Bell (15:16).
*V4 for Suzume.

Suzume is quickly catching up to the International Princess Title defence record. Today’s win over HIMAWARI is her fourth defence since becoming champion at the start of the year. She avoided HIMAWARI’s new finishing move the Sunflower Tempest and used the corner to get her opponent with a Facecrusher and then the Ring A Bell to win. HIMAWARI said she is frustrated to lose after winning the No. 1 Contendership because she gave it her all and couldn’t beat Suzume. But she thinks the experience will help her take a step forward on an emotional level. She’ll train more so next time she challenges for a title she will win it!

In the ring Suzume praised HIMAWARI for establishing her own unique style from the beginning and having everything that Suzume does not have. As IP Champion Suzume wants to make Tokyo Joshi Pro known to the world just like her seniors who paved the way for her. Yoshiko Hasegawa then entered the ring. Back when she announced her plans to retire in March she said she wanted to challenge Suzume for the IP Title. Her idea received some criticism at the time which made her reconsider. But with only a short time of her wrestling career left, Hasegawa decided to be selfish and make the challenge. She asked the fans to call her name if they will support her challenge and they did. Suzume said she would have accepted the challenge no matter what others think and she will do her best to beat her.

There is a new VPW Women’s Champion after Viva Van defeated Yuki Kamifuku. It’s been a while since the two were together and Kamifuku couldn’t help but exclaim how much Van’s strikes hurt her. Kamifuku found her rhythm and got a nearfall from doing a Superplex followed by a Reverse Famouser. But Van ended up countering the regular Famouser and dropped Kamifuku with the Japanese Ocean Cyclone Suplex for the three count. Van said she’s been fighting all her life and didn’t come back to TJPW just to be someone else’s shadow. She won this championship for Vietnam and has become the first Vietnamese wrestler to win a title in Japan. Kamifuku said it is great to see an Asian girl like Van working hard so even though she isn’t happy she lost, she feels relieved to see the belt is now in Van’s care. It’s the end of the Asian Double Crown but Kamifuku still holds the Queen Of Asia Title. She hopes she is the catalyst of TJPW bringing in wrestlers from across the Southeast Asian region more often.

Kyoraku Kyomei have an important Princess Tag Team Titles defence coming up so they realized the best way to conserve their energy is to sleep more often. They got Raku to bring a blanket to the ring for the three of them to sleep under in the ring but it was all a trap so they could use it as a weapon on Yuna Manase. But Manase used her power to break free and Mahiro Kiryu had to apologise on their behalf for bringing the blanket into the ring. Manase helped Haruna Neko to Power Bomb Hyper Misao but Shoko Nakajima broke the pin. Raku got Manase & Kiryu out of the ring so Nakajima could dive onto them. That left Misao to pin Neko with the Hypami Returns.

After the match the SEA trio of Matcha, Alexis Lee & Nor ‘Phoenix’ Diana entered the ring to stand in front of their champion opponents. Matcha & Lee got into a little fight with Kyoraku Kyomei. Meanwhile Raku wanted to shake Diana’s hand and make a Good Night pose together but Diana turned her down. Nakajima said a successful defence against Matcha & Lee will be used as a stepping stone for Kyoraku Kyomei to defend their titles abroad even more. She wants to show the challengers she is the Big Kaiju while Misao will prove to them that she is a hero! Raku heard that Malaysians sleep a little longer than Japanese people but she wonders if Diana hasn’t been able to sleep because she is too excited to be in Japan? If that’s the case then Raku wants to have lots of sweet dreams with her.

The SEA wrestlers had a good start in the ring by winning their first match of the long weekend. Matcha used a Saito Suplex on Mizuki, Lee threw Arisu Endo aside with a German Suplex and Diana pinned Pom Harajuku with a Modified Neckbreaker called the DN. Diana said she is happy to debut in TJPW because Japan is the leading pro wrestling country in Asia. Lee thinks the three of them make a good team together. Matcha wants to keep the momentum going so all three of them can head home each carrying a championship belt.

The trainee Konatsu will make her debut on 1st June. She was originally introduced to fans back in October 2024. Since she is from Hamamatsu City in Shizuoka her debut match will be at the nearby Chunichi Hall in Nagoya on 1st June. She told the fans she will do her best for the once in a lifetime debut match close to her hometown.

The next “TJPW INSPIRATION” show will be held on 28th June at TOKYO SQUARE In Itabashi. It will be TJPW’s first show at the new venue. The first match announced is Tae Honma & Miyuki Takase Vs Yoshiko Hasegawa & Kaya Toribami.

7. Yuki Kamifuku & Wakana Uehara Vs Maki Itoh & Toga

This will be Maki Itoh’s return from her American tour but the spotlight will be on Yuki Kamifuku because the show is in her hometown. It’s a chance for Ober Eats to bounce back from their Princess Tag Team Titles match loss.

What did Mahiro Kiryu do to Kamifuku to get booked against Aja Kong?

BASARA “BASARA 278 ~KOO~”, 14/05/2025

Shinjuku FACE

1. Yoshiko Hasegawa Graduation Match: Yoshiko Hasegawa Vs X

It will be here before we know it. Yoshiko Hasegawa’s graduation from Tokyo Joshi Pro and retirement from pro wrestling will happen on 8th July.

DDT “WRESTLE PETER PAN 2025 – DAY 1”, 30/08/2025
Tokyo Higashin Arena Main Arena

1. KO-D Openweight Title: Chris Brookes (c) Vs X

The plan is to have two KO-D Openweight Title matches happen at “WRESTLE PETER PAN 2025”. One for both days. Seems obvious that the King Of DDT winner gets one of the title shots.

DDT “WRESTLE PETER PAN 2025 – DAY 2”, 31/08/2025
Tokyo Korakuen Hall

1. KO-D Openweight Title: Chris Brookes (c) Vs X

But who gets the other?

Catching Up On The TJPW News

April 25, 2025

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “TJPW SPRING TOUR 2025 IN SAPPORO”, 26/04/2025
Hokkaido Sapporo Sun Plaza

1. 3 Way Match: Mahiro Kiryu Vs Kaya Toribami Vs Uta Takami
2. HIMAWARI Vs Chika Nanase
3. Raku & Pom Harajuku Vs Kira Summer & Ivy Steele
4. Yuki Kamifuku, Wakana Uehara & Mifu Ashida Vs Haru Kazashiro, Toga & Shino Suzuki
5. Yuki Aino Vs Yoshiko Hasegawa
6. Shoko Nakajima & Hyper Misao Vs Rika Tatsumi & Haruna Neko
7. Mizuki, Suzume & Arisu Endo Vs Miu Watanabe, Yuki Arai & Moka Miyamoto

Before Golden Week begins there is a Tokyo Joshi Pro show happening in Hokkaido tomorrow. Everyone is back in Japan as long as you do not include Miyu Yamashita and Maki Itoh. They have their own stuff going on in America for a while yet.

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “GOLDEN WEEK FAN APPRECIATION DAY 「EAST」”, 03/05/2025
Saitama Kasukabe Fureai Cube

1. Miu Watanabe & Uta Takami Vs Yoshiko Hasegawa & Kaya Toribami
2. Yuki Arai, Moka Miyamoto & Shino Suzuki Vs Wakana Uehara, Kira Summer & Chika Nanase
3. Rika Tatsumi & Toga Vs Yuki Aino & Haru Kazashiro
4. Shoko Nakajima, Hyper Misao & Raku Vs Mahiro Kiryu, Haruna Neko & Ivy Steele
5. Mizuki, Pom Harajuku & Arisu Endo Vs Matcha, Alexis Lee & Nor ‘Phoenix’ Diana
6. VPW Women’s Title: Yuki Kamifuku (c) Vs Viva Van
7. International Princess Title: Suzume (c) Vs HIMAWARI

Then it’s onto the two Golden Week shows. First up is the one in Saitama where Suzume will defend the International Princess Title against HIMAWARI after everything that was set up last week. Yuki Kamifuku is only defending the VPW Women’s Title against Viva Van so she risks splitting up the Asian Double Crown if she loses.

The three visiting guests from Southeast Asia are all teaming together. What do Matcha, Alexis Lee & Nor ‘Phoenix’ Diana all have in store for TJPW during their stay? I wish SEA Storm actually was their group name. It’s a cool name.

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “GOLDEN WEEK FAN APPRECIATION DAY 「WEST」”, 05/05/2025
Osaka Edion Arena #2

1. TJPW RUSH! Osaka Special Team Competition 5 Vs 5 Knockout Match: Mizuki, X, X, X & X Vs Suzume, X, X, X & X
Other Participants: Rika Tatsumi, Miu Watanabe, Pom Harajuku, Arisu Endo, HIMAWARI, Haru Kazashiro, Shino Suzuki and Uta Takami
2. Mahiro Kiryu, Haruna Neko & Toga Vs Moka Miyamoto, Kira Summer & Ivy Steele
3. Ryo Mizunami & Mifu Ashida Vs Yoshiko Hasegawa & Kaya Toribami
4. Wakana Uehara Vs Chika Nanase
5. 3 Way Match: Yuki Kamifuku Vs Yuki Aino Vs Yuki Arai
6. SETUP All Asia Women’s Title: Raku (c) Vs Nor ‘Phoenix’ Diana
7. Princess Tag Team Titles: Shoko Nakajima & Hyper Misao (c) Vs Matcha & Alexis Lee

It is confirmed that Kyoraku Kyomei are the defending Princess Tag Team Champions going up against Matcha & Lee.

The TJPW RUSH! match was such a success at the end of last year that they’re bringing it back. It is a 5 Vs 5 Team Gauntlet Match with 2 Count Pinfalls and 5 minute time limits. Any match that ends in a time limit draw restarts with 1 Count sudden death rules. This time it is an Osaka themed competition with Mizuki captaining the Takoyaki team and Suzume captaining the Kushikatsu team. Their teammates will first be determined by a lottery and then the captains get to put their match entry in order.

Should any of the RUSH! wrestlers not get to take part because their team wins early, they will be added into Match #5 with all of the Yuki’s. The 3 Way Match will turn into a tag team match if only one person is added. If two are added then it will become a 5 Way Match, three added will be a 6-Woman Tag, etc.

Meanwhile Back In Japan, TJPW Golden Week Title Matches, Namba’s Dream Coming True

April 14, 2025

I’m going to be travelling to Las Vegas tomorrow and it’s going to be a long trip ahead. You will know I have arrived safe and sound when the guides for the DDT and Tokyo Joshi Pro shows get posted. That should be on Tuesday night Vegas time but if more things get announced or even changed it will have to wait until Wednesday morning. I’ll try to at least stay up to date with the show results for the rest of the week but show reports may take a while because I’m still meant to be on holiday. Enjoy the week and let it all seep in!

DDT “KANDA MYOJON CULTURAL EXCHANGE CENTER PRESENTS LAS VEGAS SERIES ~JITSUGETSU~”, 19/04/2025
Tokyo Kanda Myojin Hall

1. KANON Vs Yuki Ishida
2. Kazusada Higuchi & Akito Vs Yuya Koroku & Keigo Nakamura
3. Hideki Okatani & MJ Paul Vs Toru Owashi & Tomomitsu Matsunaga
4. Special Tag Match: Chris Brookes & Takeshi Masada Vs HARASHIMA & Daichi Sato
5. Special 6-Man Tag Match: Yuki Ueno, To-y & Mikosee Vs Danshoku Dieno, Soma Takao & Trans-Am ★ Hiroshi
6. DDT Extreme Title: Super Sasadango Machine (c) Vs Kazuki Hirata

The cards for the DDT shows going on in Japan while the Las Vegas tour is going on have been finalized. The local mascot Mikosee joins forces with The 37KAMIINA to complete the lineup.

DDT “KANDA MYOJON CULTURAL EXCHANGE CENTER PRESENTS LAS VEGAS SERIES ~NESHIN~”, 20/04/2025
Tokyo Kanda Myojin Hall

1. 3 Way Match: Danshoku Dieno Vs Toru Owashi Vs Yuki Ishida
2. Hideki Okatani & MJ Paul Vs KANON & Tomomitsu Matsunaga
3. Special Single Match: Kazusada Higuchi Vs Soma Takao
4. Special Single Match: HARASHIMA Vs Keigo Nakamura
5. Twilight Rouge Cup Battle Royal: Chris Brookes Vs Yuki Ueno Vs Akito Vs Kazuki Hirata Vs To-y Vs Yuya Koroku Vs Takeshi Masada

Seven people will take part in the Twilight Rouge Cup. Meanwhile HARASHIMA and Keigo Nakamura have their last singles match together for a while.

DDT “DDT HARU NO KEN FESTIVAL ~STILL GOING ON IN UENO~”, 23/04/2025
Tokyo Ueno Park Outdoor Stage

1. Daisuke Sasaki, Hideki Okatani & Ilusion Vs Yukio Naya, Tomomitsu Matsunaga & Yuya Koroku
2. Special Tag Match: Chris Brookes & Takeshi Masada Vs Jun Akiyama & Daichi Sato
3. O-40 Title: Toru Owashi (c) Vs Antonio Honda
4. Staggered Entry Tag Rumble: Shunma Katsumata & Yuni Vs MAO & KANON Vs HARASHIMA & Kazuma Sumi Vs Kazusada Higuchi & Yuki Ishida Vs Akito & Kazuki Hirata Vs Danshoku Dieno & To-y
5. Keigo Nakamura Send Off Match ~ Special Single Match: Yuki Ueno Vs Keigo Nakamura

Once the American trip is done it’s back to work with another show at Ueno Park. It includes a rare defence of the O-40 Title that Toru Owashi won last October. He hasn’t defended it yet so he has to put it on the line against Antonio Honda.

The winners of the Tag Rumble will apparently get a wish granted as their prize.

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “GOLDEN WEEK FAN APPRECIATION DAY 「EAST」”, 03/05/2025
Saitama Kasukabe Fureai Cube

1. VPW Women’s Title: Yuki Kamifuku (c) Vs Viva Van

In December 2023 Viva Van came to TJPW as a challenger for Yuki Kamifuku to defend the Queen Of Asia Title against. Next month the rematch will happen this time with the VPW Women’s Title on the line. Van is a Vietnamese-American wrestler so it will mean a lot to her to win a championship from Vietnam Pro Wrestling.

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “GOLDEN WEEK FAN APPRECIATION DAY 「WEST」”, 05/05/2025
Osaka Edion Arena #2

1. SETUP All Asia Women’s Title: Raku (c) Vs Nor ‘Phoenix’ Diana
2. Princess Tag Team Titles: Shoko Nakajima & Hyper Misao (c) Vs Matcha & Alexis Lee

When Matcha and Alexis Lee both come back to Japan they will team up as an “All Southeast Asian Team” challenging for the Princess Tag Team Titles. I also heard Sayuri Namba refer to them as SEA Storm but I don’t know if it will be their official team name. They will face either Kyoraku Kyomei or Ober Eats for the belts depending on which team wins the title match this week in Vegas.

GANBARE☆PRO “SUICIDE SQUAD 2025”, 05/05/2025
Yokohama Radiant Hall

1. Moeka Haruhi, Yuna Manase & Banny Oikawa Vs YuuRI, Nanami & Kirari Wakana
2. Shuichiro Katsumura & Hartley Jackson Vs Toru Sugiura & Dragon Libre
3. Yumehito Imanari, Keisuke Ishii & Shinichiro Tominaga Vs Yuki Kanzaki, Munetatsu Nakamura & Daisuke®️
4. Shota Kawakami 1st Anniversary Match: Shota Kawakami Vs Shota
5. HARUKAZE’s Last Match Before Her Hiatus: Ken Ohka Vs HARUKAZE
6. Spirit Of Ganbare World Tag Team Titles: Shigehiro Irie & Mizuki Watase (c) Vs Yasu Urano & PSYCHO

The SOG World Tag Team Titles haven’t been defended since last November because of Mizuki Watase’s injury. Both he and Shigehiro Irie want to make up for lost time and start fighting in tag title matches again. Yasu Urano & PSYCHO have stepped up to be their first challengers. They believe Watase is not being honest about his recovery and is not wrestling at 100%. The sooner this match happens, the better their chances are to win the tag titles.

There is only one person HARUKAZE believes she can beat in a fair fight and she is desperate to finally win one match before her wrestling career is put on hiatus. So she’s breaking the emergency glass and picked Ken Ohka to be her final opponent!

The Ganbare☆Joshi match will feature Nanami from Diana and Kirari Wakana from Ice Ribbon.

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “SAYURI NAMBA’S DREAM COME TRUE SPECIAL”, 14/06/2025
Shin-Kiba 1st RING

1. LEONA Vs X
2. Mizuki & Suzume (w/ Sayuri Namba) Vs X & X

Namba is starting to put her special show together. She has opted to be in the corner for Mizuki & Suzume in the main event tag match. The opponents as well as the ring announcer for the main event have not been decided on yet.

The show will also have LEONA from Dradition taking part in a match. He and Namba were classmates in the same university so they both know each other from before they entered the pro wrestling industry. One of Namba’s dreams was to announce LEONA for a match so it will come true after all.

DDT “CHARISMANIA II”, 18/06/2025
Shinjuku FACE

1. GREATEST WRESTLING MATCH EVER: Dick Togo Vs Daisuke Sasaki

For the second “CHARISMANIA” show Daisuke Sasaki most wants to have a singles match against his mentor Dick Togo.

The rest of DAMNATION T.A will be on the show. That means Hideki Okatani, MJ Paul and Ilusion.
