Sumi And Oka Teaming Up, Zac Going Into Battle Mode Again, HERO! (And HERO!) Returns

October 28, 2026

DDT “SHOUT YOUR LOVE IN THE YOKOHAMA RING! 2026”, 14/11/2026
Yokohama Radiant Hall

1. Hideki Okatani & MJ Paul Vs Junta Miyawaki & Yuki Ishida
2. Daisuke Sasaki, Demus & Ilusion Vs Danshoku Dieno, Kazuki Hirata & Antonio Honda
3. Special 6-Man Tag Match: Shunma Katsumata, Yuni & Kazuma Sumi Vs Naomi Yoshimura, Daichi Sato & Kumadori

At the moment this is going to be NωA Jr.’s first match back together after Kazuma Sumi finishes up his Super Jr. Tag League tour. Will enough time have passed by for Sumi to feel rejuvenated within the unit or is NωA Jr. going to end up growing even further apart?

The luchador Demus is coming back into the fold and rejoining DAMNATION T.A during his stay.

DDT “MAO HOMECOMING! OSAKI’S NEW LEGEND ~KURIDANGO~”, 15/11/2026
Miyagi Osaki City Matsuyama B&G Marine Center

1. Hideki Okatani & Demus Vs Akito & Tomomitsu Matsunaga
2. Sanshiro Takagi, Jun Akiyama & Gorgeous Matsuno Vs Danshoku Dieno, Makoto Oishi & Kazuki Hirata
3. Special Tag Match: Kazuma Sumi & Yurika Oka Vs Yuki Ishida & Manami

It wasn’t that long ago when Chihiro Hashimoto joked that Sumi and Yurika Oka look so alike that Meiko Satomura wouldn’t be able to notice the difference if they swapped places. DDT is coming back to MAO’s hometown soon and he has a hand in putting the matches together. So he decided everyone will get to see for themselves if Sumi & Oka really do look identical while standing next to each other. Their opponents will be DDT’s own Yuki Ishida and also Manami from Sendai Girls. If Ishida’s still trying to find himself then maybe Manami will teach him to really shout his heart out.

Kaisei Takechi will be on the 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. 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. Ryo Mizunami & Yumehito Imanari Vs Yuki Aino & Zac (Battle Mode)
4. Special Tag Match: Aja Kong & VENY Vs Yuki Iino & Yuki Kamifuku

The debut of Zac was such a success he’s going to get another match! His “Battle Mode” will be tested even further when he has to fight the team of Ryo Mizunami & Yumehito Imanari. He has Yuki Aino on his side though and Aino will be really motivated to fight her former tag partner Mizunami again.

DDT “CHARISMANIA V”, 03/12/2026
Shin-Kiba 1st RING

1. Daisuke Sasaki & Naohiro Katsumi 21st Anniversary Match: Daisuke Sasaki Vs Naohiro Katsumi
2. Special Tag Match: HERO! & HERO! Vs Hideki Okatani & MJ Paul

The next “CHARISMANIA” show hit a bump in the road over Minoru Fujita. Even though the show is several weeks away, Fujita has let DDT know that he has a chronic ghosting problem and he is guaranteed to no show his match on this event. With that being said, Fujita expects he will still attend the show and be around to work at the merchandise table.

To make up for Fujita’s ghosting, DDT have summoned HERO! to return to the ring. They have also found a way to bring back the other HERO! so the two of them can team up again. It’s odd enough that the second HERO! originally started appearing at the same time when Fujita snuck onto DDT shows to get extra paydays and threw the company’s pay scale out of whack. Good thing Hisaya Imabayashi is such a big HERO! fan that he didn’t mind.

The plan for Daisuke Sasaki is to wrestle twice on this show. His first announced match is something to celebrate the 21st Anniversary of his debut. He will wrestle the part timer Naohiro Katsumi who started around the same time he did.

Ilusion will be on the show.


BASARA “BASARA 319 ~UTAGE AOI – SOUEN~” Results

October 27, 2026

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

1. Ryota Nakatsu defeated Tantan Menso with a Back Roll Clutch Hold (7:43).
2. Turnabout Pro Wrestling Trial: Shota Nakagawa defeated Banana Senga and Gouma Ryu when Nakagawa pinned Ryu (6:41).
3. 3 Way Tag Match: SAGAT & Lil’ Kraken defeated Trans-Am ★ Hiroshi & Tsutomu Oosugi and Daichi Kazato & Yasu Urano when SAGAT pinned Kazato (9:07).
4. Isami Kodaka & FUMA defeated Takumi Tsukamoto & Takeru Inoue when FUMA submitted Inoue with the Cross Armbreaker (12:47).
5. Iron Fist Tag Team Titles: Takato Nakano & Masato Kamino (c) defeated Daiki Shimomura & Shuichiro Katsumura when Kamino pinned Shimomura with the Lariat (17:49).
*V7 for Aijin Tag.

BASARA history is being made after today with Aijin Tag having tied the record for most Iron Fist Tag Team Title defences in a single reign. Daiki Shimomura & Shuichiro Katsumura were their challengers today thanks to winning this year’s IRON FIST Tag Tournament but Shimomura fell to Masato Kamino’s Lariat while Katsumura was too busy fighting with Takato Nakano outside the ring to save his partner. Aijin Tag took back their complaint that Shimomura & Katsumura had an easy ride through the tournament and praised them for being strong opponents. Nakano & Kamino then talked about how hard they worked together for the last ten years and now they are the kings of the tag team scene on the independents! Over on the other side, Shimomura said he likes the dynamics of teaming with Shimomura so much that he wants it to continue in either BASARA or Ganbare☆Pro. Shimomura though is currently feeling exhausted and he has two back to back title matches in one day coming up in GanPro to worry about. But if he does win the Spirit Of Ganbare World Title he wants to bring it over to BASARA.

It was revealed that Isami Kodaka chose Takashimadaira Kumin Center to be the venue for his Union MAX Title challenge against Takumi Tsukamoto because he believes that is where there rivalry was born. Also since he became the next challenger out of winning an Elimination Tag Match, he wants the title match on 23rd November to add an Over The Top Rope Elimination rule as an extra win condition. He then joked that it will boost his odds of winning the match by 1%. Tsukamoto agreed on the condition that the match will also be Best 2 Out Of 3 Falls so their rivalry can be settled once and for all. He is confident he can beat Kodaka without losing a single fall.

Before this month’s court proceedings began, Gouma Ryu and Banana Senga spent some time talking about the TV show “VIVANT”. Senga then told everyone he is ready to talk for 20 minutes straight once the trial starts. Shota Nakagawa was accused of embezzling donations by acting like the money was being collected for an animal welfare organization. Nakagawa quickly showed proof of his innocence by providing evidence of the money being legitimately transferred to the charity. However Senga wanted to continue talking so he brought up a magazine cover that Nakagawa appeared in, claiming he was somehow profiting from the charity. Nakagawa again proved he was innocent by explaining it was for a free paper and he received no money for doing the photoshoot. Senga continued throwing accusations at Nakagawa including one referencing the recent shoplifting scandal revolving around the comedian Hiroyuki Sugiyama. After being told only five minutes had passed, Senga lost his cool and turned the crowd against him by claiming that BASARA’s female fans only go to shows in order to ogle at the male wrestlers. Soon Nakagawa found himself having to fight both Ryu and Senga but he was easily able to beat them and earn a Not Guilty verdict.

Nakagawa will team up with Ryota Nakatsu since they were recently a tag team together in BASARA. Shota Kawakami & Sentaro Motojima will now be on the same side as the Ganbare☆Pro home team.

DDT “DIRECT FROM OTAKANOMORI! LUCHA LIBRE PRO WRESTLING EVENT ~FEATURING AN APPEARANCE BY EL NAGALE!~”, 31/10/2026
Chiba Nagareyama City Otakanomori Forest Town Plaza

1. Noda Shoyuman Vs Jewel Bird
2. Rappi Yoshikawa & Princess Misato Vs Sakura Hattori & Ren Konatsu
3. Masaaki Mochizuki, Toru Owashi & El Nagale Vs Poison Sawada JULIE, Kashiwa Hardcore & Matsudo Inferno

I’m puzzled as to what this show is. Something with wrestlers from Dragon Gate, JTO and Tokyo Joshi Pro along with a bunch of local luchadors that have gimmicks inspired by the Chiba location they are in. Toru Owashi seems to have a hand in putting this event together alongside Makoto Oishi. I assume one of them knows who this El Nagale person is.

DDT “TENSHIN-SAI”, 31/10/2026
Chiba Matsudo Central Park

1. Falls Count Anywhere Match: Tenshin Nasukawa, Yuki Ueno & Shinya Aoki Vs Danshoku Dieno, Takeshi Masada & To-y

On the same day there is another DDT match happening in Chiba with a big name boxer involved. Tenshin Nasukawa worked with DDT back in 2018 when he made some ABEMA related promotional appearances on episodes of the weekly series “MAJI MANJI”. He is promoting an outdoor festival and has invited DDT to hold a Falls Count Anywhere match there. He gets to be a part of it too!

The singles match that promises to go beyond nudity will now be the 3 Way Match that promises to go beyond nudity. Konosuke Takeshita has been added to the show on short notice and has ended up in the middle of Danshoku Dieno versus Daisuke Sasaki. The latter wants to fight Takeshita instead of Dieno while Dieno is determined to make sure his incredibly lewd plans for wrestling Sasaki will go ahead. He can also get Takeshita involved in those plans too.

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

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

6. STRANGE LOVE CONNECTION Vs FANTÔMES DRAMATIC!: MAO & Yukio Naya (w/ YUZUKI) Vs Chris Brookes & 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

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

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
Tokyo Takashimadaira Kumin Center

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.


BASARA “BASARA 317 ~UTAGE~” Results

October 2, 2026

BASARA “BASARA 317 ~UTAGE~”, 02/10/2026
Shin-Kiba 1st RING
??? Fans – Unannounced

1. Takumi Tsukamoto, Minoru Fujita & Yasu Urano defeated Gouma Ryu, Tsutomu Oosugi & Banana Senga when Tsukamoto submitted Ryu with a Crab Hold (8:46).
2. IRON FIST Tag Tournament – A Block Round 1: SAGAT & Lil’ Kraken defeated Judo Master & Muscle Master when Kraken pinned Judo with the Period. (11:23).
3. IRON FIST Tag Tournament – B Block Round 1: Daiki Shimomura & Shuichiro Katsumura defeated Isami Kodaka & FUMA when Shimomura pinned Kodaka with the Asai DDT (16:30).
4. IRON FIST Tag Tournament – A Block Round 1: Ryota Nakatsu & Shota Nakagawa defeated Takeru Inoue & Tomoki Hatano when Nakagawa pinned Inoue with the Swanton Bomb (12:16).
5. IRON FIST Tag Tournament – B Block Round 1: Daichi Kazato & Ayato Yoshida defeated Takato Nakano & Masato Kamino when Kazato pinned Nakano with the Rocket Punch Body Press (14:11).

The first round of this year’s IRON FIST Tag Tournament sees some big teams already getting eliminated including the reigning Iron Fist Tag Team Champions! That’s right, Aijin Tag lost to the odd couple team of Daichi Kazato & Ayato Yoshida. The result is disastrous for Aijin Tag because Yoshida spent just as much time trying to fight Kazato as he did with them. He even put Kazato through a table and left him for Takato Nakano & Masato Kamino to pick up the scraps. However Kazato wouldn’t give up and seemed to finally win over Yoshida when he bit the bullet for one of the opponent’s double team moves. Kazato then took advantage of the confusing chaos to land the Rocket Punch Body Press on Nakano and pin him for the victory. Aijin Tag blame themselves for the loss and will watch the rest of the tournament from the sidelines to see who will challenge them for the tag titles next. Meanwhile Kazato thanks the fans for their support while Yoshida said the fans should be thanking him because he’s the only reason why he and Kazato won today.

Ryota Nakatsu & Shota Nakagawa joked that they used the power of baseball to defeat the Death Volleyball Club. In reality the admit they didn’t rely on a lot of teamwork between them and even suffered some friendly fire that could have cost them the match. They also think if Takeru Inoue & Tomoki Hatano can be called a volleyball club then maybe Nakatsu & Nakagawa can call themselves The Walk Club.

On paper the team of Isami Kodaka & FUMA should be competitive enough to run the bracket but they’ve been knocked out in the opening round thanks to Daiki Shimomura & Shuichiro Katsumura. FUMA got caught up in Katsumura’s Ninja Choke while Shimomura used the Asai DDT on Kodaka to pin him. The winning team thought they were facing Aijin Tag in the next round and were surprised to find out that won’t be the case. They agreed not to get pulled into Kazato’s world of playing games and instead go for a quick victory. It will be a busy day for Katsumura because he will be wrestling at Ganbare☆Pro too.

The first match in the bracket had to be changed when Trans-Am ★ Hiroshi & Seiya Morohashi both fell ill with love sickness. The team replacing them were the masked men of Judo Master & Muscle Master. The team introduced themselves as the “Master Of Softness” and the “Master Of Hardness”. SAGAT responded by calling the two of them hard to deal with. He also seemed to recognise Muscle Master was really Morohashi judging by his body shape. SAGAT unmasked him and discovered that Morohashi had his face painted like The Great Muta underneath! Morohashi gave SAGAT & Lil’ Kraken some Dragon Screws then sprayed water instead of Poison Mist. The water missed and got Judo Master by mistake. Krake then gave Judo the Period. for the three count. The Super Family think they won the match but also believe the could have been just a fever dream.

The semi finals on 12th October will be SAGAT & Lil’ Kraken Vs Ryota Nakatsu & Shota Nakagawa and Daiki Shimomura & Shuichiro Katsumura Vs Daichi Kazato & Ayato Yoshida.

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “SHINJUKU FACE COUNTDOWN SERIES – I WON’T CRY THERE’S NO WAY I WILL CRY”, 27/09/2026
Shinjuku FACE

1. 3 Way Match: Mizuki Vs Raku Vs Pom Harajuku

6. Yuki Kamifuku Vs Wakana Uehara
7. CASPA Presents Tag Match: Yuki Arai & Miyu Yamashita Vs Suzume & Arisu Endo

The last Tokyo Joshi Pro event in Shinjuku FACE is also the go home show for “WRESTLE PRINCESS VII”. This is the last chance for the two Daisy Monkey wrestlers to get everything in place for their title matches. Suzume thinks she almost has Yuki Arai figured out. Can’t quite say the same for Arisu Endo in regards to Miyu Yamashita at the moment though. That Tokyo Princess Cup match from last year is drifting further and further away as time moves on.

Nothing solves problems in a relationship better than throwing a ninja into them mix, that’s what I always say.

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “TJPW FALL TOUR ~RAY OF HOPE IN SHINKIBA~” Results

September 14, 2026

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “TJPW FALL TOUR ~RAY OF HOPE IN SHINKIBA~”, 12/09/2026
Shin-Kiba 1st RING
280 Fans – Super No Vacancy

1. HIMAWARI defeated Shion Kanzaki with the Half Crab Hold (9:39).
2. Mizuki, Uta Takami & Mifu Ashida defeated Raku, Pom Harajuku & Chika Nanase when Mizuki pinned Nanase with the Diving Foot Stomp (9:02).
3. Shoko Nakajima & Hyper Misao defeated Wakana Uehara & Momo Sato when Nakajima pinned Sato with an Inside Cradle (8:10).
4. Yuki Kamifuku defeated Shino Suzuki with the Famouser (9:20).
5. Miu Watanabe, Rika Tatsumi & Toga defeated Yuki Aino, Haru Kazashiro & Ren Konatsu when Watanabe submitted Kazashiro with the Reverse Paradox (15:51).
6. Yuki Arai, Miyu Yamashita & Sakura Hattori defeated Suzume, Arisu Endo & Kira Summer when Yamashita pinned Summer with the Attitude Adjustment (17:27).

A fire has been lit up beneath Arisu Endo and it’s all because of Miyu Yamashita and the EVE International Title! She interrupted Yamashita’s victory speech after the main event to tell her she wants the two of them to be on equal footing. She’s beaten Yamashita the last time they had a singles match at last year’s Tokyo Princess Cup but that wasn’t enough to make her become her rival. So Endo now wants to win the EVE International Title from Yamashita in order to surpass her! Yamashita told Endo she is late because she’s had all these years to let her know how she feels. Just challenging her for the title isn’t enough to get on her level. Endo asserted herself and confirmed she will beat Yamashita and win the title from her. The two shook hands to confirm the match until Endo hit Yamashita with an Elbow Strike across the chin. Yamashita didn’t expect that and told her partners today is the first time she ever saw Endo have that look of determination on her face. The title match is set for “WRESTLE PRINCESS VII” at 3rd October.

While all of this was going on, Yuki Arai came to the conclusion that her current level isn’t good enough yet to beat Suzume based on how Suzume’s been wrestling against her lately. Watching Endo stand up to Yamashita right in front of her made Arai think she cannot afford to lose against wrestlers from her own generation. Sakura Hattori almost feels left out because the match announced for “WRESTLE PRINCESS VII” with her and Kira Summer in it has nothing at stake. However she made a guarantee to the fans that her match will not only be entertaining but also so intense it will make their eyes water! Backstage Endo admitted she doesn’t know much about EVE the British wrestling promotion or what value Yamashita’s championship has over there. She just thought the belt looked so cool when Yamashita came back to Japan with it. But if she wins the title she will go defend it in the UK even if she has to travel there by herself. She also denies ever hitting Yamashita with an Elbow Strike after the match.

Today felt like a breeze for Daydream. They were victorious over Shunrai Rekka!! Prism Greed in a 6-Woman Tag and know what to expect of their next challengers. They are well aware of what Yuki Aino brings to the table and Miu Watanabe felt Haru Kazashiro fought within her expectations. She noticed how dejected she looked after losing the match though and wants Kazashiro to step up for the Princess Tag Team Titles match next month. Rika Tatsumi agreed and thinks the only way Prism Greed can beat them is if they fight with a burning and fierce intensity. They need to stir up a storm instead of a breeze!

Shino Suzuki altered her tour guide spot for Yuki Kamifuku during their match. When she pointed over to her spot, she said it was the bright future of Kamiyu who is racing towards retirement while staying beautiful to the very end.

We are a few days away until “HYPE! 4” and Hyper Misao did something very rash. She had already completed her draft for the script but decided to wipe it clean and start again from scratch! She brought her laptop to the ring so she would type out her new script and left Shoko Nakajima to wrestle Wakana Uehara & Momo Sato by herself. Luckily for Nakajima, Misao finished her new draft midway through the match and got back to the ring to even the odds. The rookie Sato got the upper hand and gave Misao a Body Slam only for the pin to not count because Misao was not tagged in. Nakajima then rolled up Sato from behind for the three count, giving Kyoraku Kyomei the victory.

It was announced earlier in the day that Mizuki and Hyper Misao will face each other at “WRESTLE PRINCESS VII” in a match that has Jushin Liger as the special guest referee! Misao is especially excited about it because she is also a masked wrestler with a cape like Liger is. She claims to always fight fair and square so she has high hopes that Liger’s officiating will meet her standards. Mizuki was baffled by the idea at first but has come around to thinking that Liger’s officiating will work out in her favor in the end. After all, she’s such a good girl while Misao is a villainous hero.

A brand new wrestlers will make her debut on “WRESTLE PRINCESS VII”. Chieri Sakimori is from Fukuoka and she discovered Tokyo Joshi Pro from attending the OCHA NORMA collab show that took place last December. She then took part in TJPW’s Women’s Pro Wrestling Camp that runs in their dojo several times a month and made the decision to become a pro wrestler.


BASARA “BASARA 315 ~UTAGE~” Results

BASARA “BASARA 315 ~UTAGE~”, 11/09/2026
Shin-Kiba 1st RING
??? Fans – Unannounced

4. Takato Nakano, Masato Kamino & Yasu Urano defeated Takeru Inoue, Tomoki Hatano & Hajime when SAGAT pinned Inoue with the Lariat (15:07).
5. Ryota Nakatsu & Lil’ Kraken defeated Takumi Tsukamoto & Daiki Shimomura when Nakatsu pinned Shimomura with the V Slider (13:15).

Pretty soon BASARA will be saying goodbye to Shinjuku FACE and after today Ryota Nakatsu feels like he has nothing left to say to Takumi Tsukamoto. The two of them are ready to fight each other for the Union MAX Title on 23rd September so they decided to shake each other’s hand after the match rather than talk up the title bout. Lil’ Kraken was allowed to close out the show instead and he talked about all of the wonderful footage he’s watched of the various wrestling shows that took place in Shinjuku FACE recently. They’re all great promotions but if you ask Kraken, BASARA is the best one! Backstage Nakatsu talked about being the first wrestler to walk down to the ring in Shinjuku FACE for the inaugural BASARA show. It moves him that over a decade later he became president of the company and will headline BASARA’s final show in the venue. But it will mean nothing to him if he cannot beat Tsukamoto for the MAX Title. Tsukamoto said he knows Nakatsu inside out and vice versa. The match will all come down to whether or not Tsukamoto can figure out how to beat Nakatsu in time. However the gameplan he has in mind is to just fight Nakatsu head on.

Aijin Tag have the advantage over the Death Volleyball Club going into the Iron Fist Tag Team Titles match later this month. Both Takato Nakano & Masato Kamino agreed that their challengers were let down by their third partner Hajime today. They think he was nothing more than a benchwarmer when Takeru Inoue & Tomoki Hatano needed more than that to help them. Nakano wants Death Volleyball Club to remember they are in a wrestling ring but Kamino reminded him that the Club likes to treat the top rope like it is a volleyball net. Nakano doesn’t get that at all and does not want to lose to that team. Hateno said his team lost a set today but in volleyball losing a set does not mean you lost the match. He believes his teamwork with Inoue worked perfectly and next time they’re going to score 25 points to win the Iron Fist Tag Titles! But first they’re going to focus on pro wrestling training in the lead up to the match because they’ve already got the volleyball side of things sorted.

Before Match #3 could begin, SAGAT got on the microphone and pre-emptively accused Gouma Ryu of plotting to interfere in the action. Ryu admitted he would so SAGAT demanded he be added to the match proper. Banana Senga agreed to swap places with Ryu so he ended up becoming the manager who interfered in the match. The referee refused to count the pinfall for Trans-Am ★ Hiroshi after that so more changes were made. Senga agreed to wrestle in the match again but now Minoru Fujita complained about the two sides being misaligned. That somehow ended up with the match becoming Senga Vs SAGAT with everyone else acting as a manager for someone. SAGAT got fed up and demanded everyone be part of the match as a wrestler. Fujita was supposed to be on SAGAT’s team but he decided to join the other side so SAGAT was now fighting everybody else all by himself. Ryu tried to attack him with his law book but SAGAT redirected him into hitting Hiroshi by accident. SAGAT was then able to beat Ryu with the Gore Grind to win despite having the 4-on-1 disadvantage.
