GM Wars Intensify, Princess Cup Quater Finals, Upcoming Max Title Matches

August 4, 2026

DDT “MEMORIES OF SUMMER VACATION 2026”, 05/08/2026
Shinjuku FACE

0. Dark Match: Soma Takao & Hinata Kasai Vs Tomomitsu Matsunaga & MBM
1. Kazuma Sumi & Yuki Ishida Vs Jun Akiyama & Rukiya
2. Sanshiro Takagi, Naomi Yoshimura & Hisaya Imabayashi Vs Ilusion, MJ Paul & Tetsuya Koda
3. Daisuke Sasaki & Hideki Okatani Vs Shunma Katsumata & Masami Inahata
4. Special Single Match: Danshoku Dieno Vs Kazuki Hirata
5. Special 6-Man Tag Match: Chris Brookes, HARASHIMA & Antonio Honda Vs Shinya Aoki, Junta Miyawaki & Akito
6. Special 10-Man Tag Match: Yuki Ueno, Takeshi Masada, Yuya Koroku, Daichi Sato & To-y Vs MAO, KANON, Yuki Iino, Yukio Naya & Viento Levante (w/ KIMIHIRO & YUZUKI)

The Tokyo Idol Festival is over and Tetsuya Koda has come out of it as the Iron Man Heavymetalweight Champion. The Tokyo Joshi Pro boss pulling off this stunt does not impress the DDT GM Hisaya Imabayashi. The two authority figures have been at each other’s throats on and off for years. The Iron Man Champion is meant to be wrestling on tomorrow’s DDT show which means Koda now has to take part. Such an idea is insulting to Imabayashi so he is adding himself to the match in response to this so he can teach Koda a lesson that DDT is not the place for amateurs in their fifties!

Going into tomorrow’s show the Right To Challenge holders are Shunma Katsumata (Red), Viento Levante (Blue) and KANON (Purple).

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “THE 13TH TOKYO PRINCESS CUP”, 08/08/2026
Tokyo Ryogoku KFC Hall

1. Miu Watanabe & Ren Konatsu Vs Wakana Uehara & Momo Sato
2. Miyu Yamashita, Sakura Hattori, Haru Kazashiro & Chika Nanase Vs Yuki Kamifuku, Raku, Shino Suzuki & Uta Takami
3. Yuki Arai, Mifu Ashida & Shion Kanzaki Vs Mizuki, Mahiro Kiryu & Pom Harajuku
4. 13th Tokyo Princess Cup – Quarter Final: Suzume Vs Shoko Nakajima
5. 13th Tokyo Princess Cup – Quarter Final: Toga Vs Yuki Aino
6. 13th Tokyo Princess Cup – Quarter Final: Arisu Endo Vs HIMAWARI
7. 13th Tokyo Princess Cup – Quarter Final: Rika Tatsumi Vs Hyper Misao

We’re currently on a little break from the Tokyo Princess Cup until it resumes with the Quarter Finals this weekend. Rika Tatsumi and Hyper Misao are back in the ring against each other so soon after their Princess Tag Team Titles feud last month. The other end of the bracket has Suzume against Shoko Nakajima in what is sure to be a barnburner. HIMAWARI can set off a Cinderella run if she can defeat last year’s finalist Arisu Endo. The same could be said for Toga if her frozen demeaner doesn’t melt against Yuki Aino’s fire. After this round the brackets will get jumbled up for the final four which makes predicting this round a little bit more difficult than it looks on paper.

DDT “KANDA MYOJIN CULTURAL EXCHANGE PRESENTS AFTER PETER PAN ~RYOGOKU AFTER PARTY~”, 17/08/2026
Tokyo Kanda Myojin Hall

1. New Generation Variety Team Discovery Audition Match: Danshoku Dieno Vs Kazuki Hirata Vs Antonio Honda Vs Kazuma Sumi Vs Yuki Ishida Vs Rukiya Vs Masami Inahata Vs Hinata Kasai
2. Super Sasadango Machine Title: Super Sasadango Machine (c) Vs Ilusion

I think there have been times in the past when Muscle Sakai would defend the championship belt he wears around his waist but I can’t remember a time when Super Sasadango Machine has ever done it in DDT. That changes when the belt labelled King Of Sasadango it put on the line against Ilusion.

The DDT comedy wrestlers are looking for new additions to their “Variety Team”. They are holding an audition and it is mandatory for the wrestlers they invited to take part in it.

This DDT show is going to be a small one because it is more like a fan event with some matches taking place rather than a full on wrestling show. Only one more match is planned to be added to the card.

BASARA “BASARA 314 ~UTAGE~”, 21/08/2026
Shin-Kiba 1st RING

1. Union MAX Title: Takumi Tsukamoto (c) Vs Daiki Shimomura

The new Union MAX Champion already has challengers lined up for him. When Takumi Tsukamoto held a 7-match Gauntlet to prepare himself for his title shot the only wrestler he dropped a fall to was Daiki Shimomura. Now is the time for Shimomura to call his shot and get a title match with his former tag team partner.

BAKA GAIJIN + FRIENDS “FUCKED UP FEST 2026”, 22/08/2026
Tokyo Oji BASEMENT MONSTAR

1. SEKIFUDA 1 YEAR OF BAKA ~ Special Single Match: Kota Sekifuda Vs Minoru Suzuki
2. Hardcore Tag Match: MAO & Shunma Katsumata Vs Jun Kasai & Chris Brookes

Just imagine the mess everyone will have to clean up after the Hardcore Match. Jun Kasai takes part in his first “FUCKED UP FEST” to join Chris Brookes so they can fight ShunMao together.

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “THE 13TH TOKYO PRINCESS CUP”, 23/08/2026
Tokyo Korakuen Hall

1. Yuki Kamifuku & Wakana Uehara Vs Sumire Natsu & Mifu Ashida
2. 13th Tokyo Princess Cup – Final: X Vs X

This doesn’t look like it would be a tough challenge for Ober Eats. After all, Yuki Kamifuku already knows how effective it is to use makeup remover against opponents who are caked in the stuff. Sumire Natsu is like 80% makeup and 20% human at this point! Best stick Wakana Uehara and Mifu Ashida in there to make sure things don’t get too catty between Kamiyu and Natsu.

BASARA “SHINJUKU FACE COUNTDOWN SERIES – BASARA 316 ~KOO~”, 23/09/2026
Shinjuku FACE

1. Union MAX Title: Takumi Tsukamoto (c) Vs Ryota Nakatsu

The winner of the 21st August title match will go on to defend the MAX Title against Ryota Nakatsu at BASARA’s final show to be held inside Shinjuku FACE. The show is happening on the first day of the Shinjuku FACE Countdown Series, a list of wrestling events happening in the final days of the venue’s existence. They will be on after Sendai Girls that day.

GANBARE☆PRO “BAAHUBALI 2026” Results

July 25, 2026

GANBARE☆PRO “BAAHUBALI 2026”, 25/07/2026
Shin-Kiba 1st RING
??? Fans – Unannounced

1. Toyama Army Vs Anti-Toyama Army: Ken Ohka, Akira Shoji, Shinichiro Tominaga & Leon defeated Yumehito Imanari, Sentaro Motoshima, Moeka Haruhi & Rydeen Hagane when Ohka pinned Haruhi with the Flame Spear (10:40).
2. YuuRI defeated Echika Miyabi with a Camel Clutch Sleeper Hold (11:13).
3. Tyson Maeguchi defeated Shuichiro Katsumura by Referee Stoppage after a Knee Strike (11:31).
4. Takuya Wada defeated Yuya Susumu by Referee Stoppage with a Triangle Choke (12:20).
5. Keisuke Ishii, Shigehiro Irie & Soma Takao defeated Mizuki Watase, Shota Kawakami & SUSHI when Irie pinned Kawakami with a Lariat (19:24).

The Team Dream Futures reunion was a successful one after they defeated Mizuki Watase’s side. Shigehiro Irie doesn’t want to spend much time in the past however. He hears from fans so often that they used to watch him a lot or they used to like him. Irie wants to show everyone that right now he is alive and well in the wrestling world. He will prove it by winning the Spirit Of Ganbare World Title from Watase at Korakuen Hall on 15th August. Watase then brought up all the times he travelled with Irie around the world from America to Germany. He believes Irie is still the best wrestler he knows which is why he wants to defend the title against him. He does not want to hear any talk about injuries or surgeries from either side from now until the match has ended. Instead he told Irie they should show everyone the best 15th August ever!

Both preview matches for the 15th August Spirit Of Ganbare Tag Team Titles bout ended in Referee Stoppages. Tyson Maeguchi knocked out Shuichiro Katsumura after catching him with a Knee Strike while Takuya Wada held Yuya Susumu in a Triangle Choke until the referee had to step in. Katsumura has no memory of how his match ended but he thinks he won while Susumu claims he had Wada pinned in a Cradle for the three count before he passed out in the Triangle Choke. The Deadlock couldn’t help but laugh when they heard that both of their opponents thought they had won. They think next time they should beat them in a way that they will still remember afterwards.

The finish to the opening match happened after Rydeen Hagane accidentally hit Moeka Haruhi with a Lariat, leading to Ken Ohka pinned Haruhi with the Flame Spear afterward. When Haruhi recovered she got into a fight with Hagane after the match and the two blamed each other for losing. Ohka broke things up and decided a match between Haruhi and Hagane will happen at the 15th August Korakuen show.

At the end of the show Ohka revealed his partners for the 6-Man Tag Match on 15th August. His first partner is going to be Akira Shoji but before he could announce his second, Shinichiro Tominaga walked in and complained about not being chosen. He asked why and Ohka said it is because the other partner will be Masashi Takeda! According to Ohka, Masada is allowed to join the Toyama Army because his father is from Toyama and he also spent many summer vacations in the area when he was a student. SUSHI then appeared asking to be booked for the show but Ohka rejected him. Luckily for SUSHI, he later got the booking anyway and he will be part of the undercard at Korakuen.

BASARA “BASARA 312 ~UTAGE~” Results

July 24, 2026

BASARA “BASARA 312 ~UTAGE~”, 24/07/2026
Shin-Kiba 1st RING
??? Fans – Unannounced

1. Ali Najima defeated Takeru Inoue with a Crab Hold (9:10).
2. Daiki Shimomura & Kota Sekifuda defeated Lil’ Kraken & Yuki Kanzaki when Shimomura pinned Kraken with the Swanton Bomb (15:02).
3. FUMA defeated SAGAT with a Chickenwing Arm Lock (10:01).
4. Ryota Nakatsu defeated Thanomsak Toba with a Rear Naked Choke (7:58).
5. Isami Kodaka, Yuko Miyamoto & Shuji Ishikawa defeated Takumi Tsukamoto, Takato Nakano & Masato Kamino when Miyamoto pinned Nakano with the Moonsault Press (16:22).

20 years of connective bonds and experience between Shuji Ishikawa, Isami Kodaka & Yuko Miyamoto was the difference maker in today’s BASARA main event. While the result focuses more on Yankee Two Kenju beating Aijin Tag, it was Ishikawa who got on the microphone afterwards to ask Takumi Tsukamoto thinks he really can climb the mountain and win the Union MAX Title? Tsukamoto said he can do it but Ishikawa warned that Tsukamoto will feel the pain to the fullest on 2nd August. Isami Kodaka then asked Aijin Tag if they really think they fought like champions today? Takato Nakano said the only reason why Kodaka is standing out right now is because Yuko Miyamoto is with him. Kodaka claimed that even though he is a BASARA wrestler, on 2nd August he will be wrestling like an outsider with Miyamoto.

Ryota Nakatsu called his match with Thanomsak Toba a warm up for the Shunma Katsumata bout on 2nd August. With the Korakuen Hall show coming up, Nakatsu spoke to media after the show and talked about last summer’s BASARA show at Korakuen. That was when BASARA management went through a change and while they were worried about the state of the company, they ended up drawing their largest crowd in history. This year Nakatsu thinks his hunger for success has diminished a little and the company still isn’t stable yet but everyone there is giving it their all. He won’t know how the Korakuen show will go until he sees the results of everyone’s hard work.

Something to keep an eye on in the next couple of months is Shinya Aoki’s placement on the cards. He’s gone through some recent changes with his MMA contracts and now has a big RIZIN fight coming up in early September. He may disappear from DDT altogether to focus on training for the fight or DDT may set up something to help promote him down the line.

The current Right To Challenge Gauntlet holders heading into Korakuen Hall are Shunma Katsumata (Red), Viento Levante (Blue) and Rukiya (Purple AAAA).

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “THE 13TH TOKYO PRINCESS CUP”, 30/07/2026

The Sweet Secret Is Willow! Sakai’s 1st SLC Match, Nakatsu Gets Katsumata

July 9, 2026

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “SUMMER SUN PRINCESS ’26”, 18/07/2026
Tokyo Korakuen Hall

1. Momo Sato Debut Match: Uta Takami & Ren Konatsu Vs Shion Kanzaki & Momo Sato
2. Shin Sakura Katsushika Hirota, HIMAWARI & Mifu Ashida Vs Raku, Pom Harajuku & Chika Nanase
3. Yuki Aino & Haru Kazashiro Vs MIRAI & Toga
4. Aja Kong Vs Arisu Endo
5. Yuki Kamifuku, Kumadori & Sakura Hattori Vs Sanshiro Takagi, Yumehito Imanari & Mahiro Kiryu
6. Mizuki Vs Willow Nightingale
7. International Princess Title: Suzume (c) Vs Wakana Uehara
8. Princess Tag Team Titles: Miu Watanabe & Rika Tatsumi (c) Vs Shoko Nakajima & Hyper Misao
9. Princess Of Princess Title: Yuki Arai (c) Vs Miyu Yamashita

The Sweet Secret has been revealed. Mizuki’s opponent next weekend is going to be Willow Nightingale! The announcement came shortly after Nightingale made her return from a shoulder injury in AEW last night. She has a lot of plans on the horizon and one of them is to wrestle in Tokyo Joshi Pro again after last being their for “GRAND PRINCESS ’25”. Mizuki is also who she wants to wrestle for her return.

DDT “LET’S GO! IMAIKE MOTTOIKE 2026”, 19/07/2026
Aichi Imaike Gas Hall

1. 3 Way Tag Match: Kazuma Sumi & Yuni Vs Danshoku Dieno & Kazuki Hirata Vs Akito & Hinata Kasai
2. Daisuke Sasaki, Hideki Okatani & Ilusion Vs Junta Miyawaki, Yuki Ishida & Rukiya
3. Jun Akiyama, Naomi Yoshimura & Masami Inahata Vs Yuki Iino, Yukio Naya & Viento Levante
4. FANTÔMES DRAMATIC Vs paleyouth!: Chris Brookes & Antonio Honda Vs Takeshi Masada & Daichi Sato
5. Special Single Match: HARASHIMA Vs Yuya Koroku
6. The 37KAMIINA Vs STRANGE LOVE CONNECTION!: Yuki Ueno, Shunma Katsumata & To-y Vs MAO, KANON & Muscle Sakai (w/ KIMIHIRO)

After Super Sasadango Machine lost a Mask Contra Mask stipulation against Strange Love Connection last month, the unit felt pity for him and decided he can join the group on a part time basis. The conditions are that it is Muscle Sasaki joining the unit instead of Sasadango Machine and he only gets to be a member whenever SLC has a match in Nagoya. Later this month will be Sakai’s first appearance in SLC.

GANBARE☆PRO “BAAHUBALI 2026”, 25/07/2026
Shin-Kiba 1st RING

1. YuuRI Vs Echika Miyabi
2. Toyama Army Vs Anti-Toyama Army: Ken Ohka, Akira Shoji, Shinichiro Tominaga & Leon Vs Yumehito Imanari, Sentaro Motoshima, Moeka Haruhi & Rydeen Hagane
3. Takuya Wada Vs Yuya Susumu
4. Tyson Maeguchi Vs Shuichiro Katsumura
5. Mizuki Watase, Shota Kawakami & SUSHI Vs Keisuke Ishii, Shigehiro Irie & Soma Takao

It looks like Ganbare☆Pro just can’t get rid of SUSHI now. He wanted to get booked again and the promotion are living up to their word this time. Although it did take Munetatsu Nakamura getting injured for this to happen. SUSHI will be filling in for the injured Nakamura in the 6-Man Tag Match, teaming with Mizuki Watase so soon after they fought over the Spirit Of Ganbare World Title. But Watase doesn’t have to worry about him when Shigehiro Irie is on the opposite team as part of a Team Drift reunion.

BASARA “BASARA 313 ~SUPER BRILLIANCE~”, 02/08/2026
Tokyo Korakuen Hall

1. Ryota Nakatsu Vs Shunma Katsumata
2. Iron Fist Tag Team Titles: Takato Nakano & Masato Kamino (c) Vs Isami Kodaka & Yuko Miyamoto
3. Union MAX Title: Shuji Ishikawa (c) Vs Takumi Tsukamoto

The special opponent BASARA was looking for Ryota Nakatsu is Shunma Katsumata! The description of Katsumata being a rival of Nakatsu despite not having many matches against him thanks to their careers both growing in the DNA sub-brand.

Sweet Secret, Mune’s ACL Injury, Super Japan Sends Off Shinjuku FACE

July 7, 2026

DDT “ASAKUSA ROX NAKAMISE FIGHTING 2026”, 08/07/2026
Tokyo Asakusa ROX 3G Super Multi Court

0. Dark Match – Nariagari Showcase: Tawaramachi Kid Jr., Super Nikuyaki Machine & Ariji Akinori Vs Benio, Tataiki Torinomi & TAKUYA
1. Shunma Katsumata & Viento Levante Vs Akito & Hinata Kasai
2. Yuya Koroku, Daichi Sato & MBM Vs Tomomitsu Matsunaga, Rukiya & Masami Inahata
3. Sanshiro Takagi & Yukio Naya Vs Jun Akiyama & Junta Miyawaki
4. FANTÔMES DRAMATIC Vs DAMNATION T.A!: Chris Brookes, HARASHIMA & Antonio Honda Vs Daisuke Sasaki, Hideki Okatani & Ilusion
5. Special 6-Man Tag Match: MAO, KANON (w/ KIMIHIRO) & Kazuma Sumi Vs Danshoku Dieno, Kazuki Hirata & Yoshihiko
6. Special 6-Man Tag Match: Yuki Ueno, Ryota Nakatsu & Naomi Yoshimura Vs Takeshi Masada, To-y & Yuki Ishida

The wrestlers from Nariagari have been chosen for the dark match. I recognize a few of those names from previous appearances. Couldn’t tell you what they’ve accomplished since then though.

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “SUMMER SUN PRINCESS ’26”, 18/07/2026
Tokyo Korakuen Hall

1. Momo Sato Debut Match: Uta Takami & Ren Konatsu Vs Shion Kanzaki & Momo Sato
2. Shin Sakura Katsushika Hirota, HIMAWARI & Mifu Ashida Vs Raku, Pom Harajuku & Chika Nanase
3. Yuki Aino & Haru Kazashiro Vs MIRAI & Toga
4. Aja Kong Vs Arisu Endo
5. Yuki Kamifuku, Kumadori & Sakura Hattori Vs Sanshiro Takagi, Yumehito Imanari & Mahiro Kiryu
6. Mizuki Vs Sweet Secret
7. International Princess Title: Suzume (c) Vs Wakana Uehara
8. Princess Tag Team Titles: Miu Watanabe & Rika Tatsumi (c) Vs Shoko Nakajima & Hyper Misao
9. Princess Of Princess Title: Yuki Arai (c) Vs Miyu Yamashita

We have a mystery on our hands. Mizuki is taking on an unknown opponent who is only being advertised as “Sweet Secret“. If that name by itself is a clue then it’s the only one we’ve got so far.

One of the undercard tag matches is following up on a few things from earlier this year. MIRAI & Toga are teaming up again for a match against Shunrai Rekka!! Prism Greed. That means it’s another meeting between MIRAI and Haru Kazashiro after their really good singles match last month.

The debut of Momo Sato sees her getting thrown into the ring with the three other shortest term wrestlers in Tokyo Joshi Pro at the moment.

BASARA “BASARA 312 ~UTAGE~”, 24/07/2026
Shin-Kiba 1st RING

1. Takeru Inoue Vs Ali Najima
2. FUMA Vs SAGAT
3. Ryota Nakatsu Vs Thanomsak Toba
4. Daiki Shimomura & Kota Sekifuda Vs Lil’ Kraken & Yuki Kanzaki
5. Isami Kodaka, Yuko Miyamoto & Shuji Ishikawa Vs Takumi Tsukamoto, Takato Nakano & Masato Kamino

This is the go-home show before BASARA heads back to Korakuen Hall next month. Champions and challengers all mixing it up with each other is the name of the game in the main event. Shuji Ishikawa is teaming with Yankee Two Kenju given all of their history together while Takumi Tsukamoto is joining up with Aijin Tag.

GANBARE☆PRO “BAAHUBALI 2026”, 25/07/2026
Shin-Kiba 1st RING

1. YuuRI Vs Echika Miyabi
2. Toyama Army Vs Anti-Toyama Army: Ken Ohka, Akira Shoji, Shinichiro Tominaga & Leon Vs Yumehito Imanari, Sentaro Motoshima, Moeka Haruhi & Rydeen Hagane
3. Takuya Wada Vs Yuya Susumu
4. Tyson Maeguchi Vs Shuichiro Katsumura
5. Mizuki Watase, Shota Kawakami & X Vs Keisuke Ishii, Shigehiro Irie & Soma Takao

The 6-Man Tag Match was supposed to have Munetatsu Nakamura in it but unfortunately he injured his right knee at the Ganbare☆Pro show over the weekend. He has since been diagnosed with a ruptured ACL and will be out of action for the time being.

A sudden civil war over the Toyama region is now turning into a little inter-promotional match with PURE-J. After the last GanPro show Ken Ohka declined to include Yumehito Imanari into his Toyama based group of wrestlers so Imanari went and formed his own Anti-Toyama team with Sentaro Motoshima & Moeka Haruhi both agreeing to join him. Rydeen Hagane from PURE-J fills out his group. Ohka has bolstered up his forces by bringing in Akira Shoji & Shinichiro Tominaga as well as PURE-J’s Leon.

GANBARE☆PRO “IT’S A SUMMER FILM 2026”, 15/08/2026
Tokyo Korakuen Hall

1. YuuRI Vs Takumi Iroha
2. Munetatsu Nakamura Vs Chris Brookes
3. Spirit Of Ganbare World Tag Team Titles: Takuya Wada & Tyson Maeguchi (c) Vs Shuichiro Katsumura & Yuya Susumu
4. Spirit Of Ganbare World Openweight Title: Mizuki Watase (c) Vs Shigehiro Irie

Pray for Mizuki Watase to come out of the match in one piece. The last time Shigehiro Irie fought for the Spirit Of Ganbare World Title he lost to Imanari but still beat him up bad enough that he was left in rough shape for weeks afterward. Now Watase wants to defend the title against his good friend even though Irie is kind of feeling like he’s past his peak. Maybe for Watase’s physical sake let’s hope that is the case.

Shuichiro Katsumura once held the Spirit Of Ganbare Tag Team Titles with Takuya Wada. Now he is trying to win them off him. Yuya Susumu is getting his first crack at winning a GanPro championship and maybe he can get it if Tyson Maeguchi is feeling a little punch drunk by the time the match takes place.

No word yet on if Nakamura’s match with Chris Brookes will be cancelled because of his knee injury. There is currently no timeframe for his return.

It’s time again for YuuRI to try and take down one of her idols. Takumi Iroha is her next big name joshi opponent.

SUPER JAPAN “SHINJUKU FACE COUNTDOWN SERIES ~GOODBYE SHINJUKU FACE~”, 28/09/2026
Shinjuku FACE

1. Special Single Match: Yuji Nagata Vs Satoshi Kojima

Previously DDT had this date booked but it is now going to be a Super Japan show. It will be a special one because it is happening two days before Shinjuku FACE closes down for good. Headlining this important show will be a battle pitting Super Japan against New Japan. Where else could Yuji Nagata against Satoshi Kojima ever be put together?!?

GANBARE☆PRO “ENTER THE VOID 2026” Results

July 4, 2026

GANBARE☆PRO “ENTER THE VOID 2026”, 04/07/2026
Shin-Kiba 1st RING
166 Fans

1. Moeka Haruhi defeated Mia with a Double Wrist Armsault (7:27).
2. Shigehiro Irie, YuuRI & Shota Kawakami defeated Yumehito Imanari, Shinichiro Tominaga & Sentaro Motoshima when Kawakami pinned Motoshima with a Northern Lights Suplex (11:18).
3. Shuichiro Katsumura & Yuya Susumu defeated Keisuke Ishii & Kouki Iwasaki when Katsumura submitted Ishii with a Flying Armbar (14:39).
4. Baliyan Akki defeated Munetatsu Nakamura by Referee Stoppage (3:02).
5. Spirit Of Ganbare World Tag Team Titles: Takuya Wada & Tyson Maeguchi (c) defeated Ken Ohka & Guts Ishijima when Maeguchi pinned Ohka with a Buzzsaw Kick (14:13).
*V2 for The Deadlock.
6. Spirit Of Ganbare World Openweight Title: Mizuki Watase (c) defeated SUSHI with the Bare Elbow (15:00).
*V4 for Mizuki Watase.

The Ganbare☆Pro management can breathe a little sigh of relief because Mizuki Watase was able to beat SUSHI and remain the Spirit Of Ganbare World Champion. After the match Michiyoshi Mishima approached Watase asking him who he wants to defend the title against at the 15th August Korakuen Hall show. Watase started talking about when he wanted to leave DDT there was one person he talked to first and this person assured he will help him get bookings if none were to come his way. Watase is currently the champion of GanPro but he wants to feel like the challenger so his opponent is going to be Shigehiro Irie! It turned out Irie was already in the venue and he got into the ring. He admitted he is not as strong as Watase thinks he is right now but he doesn’t want to make excuses over it anymore. The two shook hands (both using their left because its closer to the heart) and confirmed the title match will go ahead.

The Deadlock passed their second Spirit Of Ganbare Tag Team Titles defence by beating Ken Ohka & Guts Ishijima. Their next challengers quickly emerged when Shuichiro Katsumura & Yuya Susumu came out demanding a title shot. Mishima accepted the demand and booked the match for 15th August.

Match #4 had to be abruptly stopped when Munetatsu Nakamura injured his knee after he did a Plancha onto Baliyan Akki. The injury was bad enough at the time that he had to be stretchered off and sent straight to the hospital. Akki tried to keep the audience’s spirits up in the meantime by calling Nakamura a strong wrestler who will definitely return from this setback. GanPro sent out an update that the early examinations have shown no bone damage and they are now awaiting a more detailed diagnosis. Nakamura will be out of action in the meantime.

Yuna Manase was at the show and greeted the fans. She had successful surgery for ovarian cysts and uterine fibroids and was discharged from hospital last week. During her speech she expressed her gratitude for everyone’s support during this time.

At the end of the show Ken Ohka brought up an idea to expand his team of Toyama based wrestlers. Yumehito Imanari asked if he could join because he is friends with Ohka’s father and would often stay over at his home. However Ohka declined his request which made Imanari explode in anger. Now he is going to form his own Anti-Toyama team to get revenge on Ken and his dad!

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “READY TO EXPLODE ~SUMMER SUN PRINCESS ’26~” Results

July 4, 2026

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “READY TO EXPLODE ~SUMMER SUN PRINCESS ’26~”, 04/07/2026
Shin-Kiba 1st RING
275 Fans – Super No Vacancy

1. Haru Kazashiro & Chika Nanase defeated Ren Konatsu & Shion Kanzaki when Nanase submitted Kanzaki with the Inari Torii Kai (11:28).
2. 3 Way Match: Yuki Kamifuku defeated Raku and Kira Summer when Kamifuku pinned Summer with the Famouser (6:25).
3. Mizuki & Uta Takami defeated Pom Harajuku & Mahiro Kiryu when Mizuki submitted Harajuku with the Southern Cross (8:25).
4. Wakana Uehara & Toga defeated Suzume & Arisu Endo when Uehara submitted Suzume with the Banana Pillow (12:37).
5. Miu Watanabe, Rika Tatsumi & HIMAWARI defeated Shoko Nakajima, Hyper Misao & Yuki Aino when Watanabe pinned Nakajima with the Tear Drop (13:41).
6. Miyu Yamashita & Sakura Hattori defeated Yuki Arai & Mifu Ashida when Yamashita submitted Ashida with the Modified Cobra Clutch (14:54).

There is now two weeks to go until “SUMMER SUN PRINCESS ’26” and today was the go home show for the event. Yuki Arai had Mifu Ashida cheering her on despite having her pompoms thrown away by Sakura Hattori. The ninja later played her part in keeping Arai held back so Miyu Yamashita could beat down on Ashida. However Arai broke through to try and rescue her Kyoto Tag partner only to get Skull Kicked for her troubles. With her out of the way, Yamashita then whipped Ashida down onto the mat to submit her with the Modified Cobra Clutch. After the match Yamashita said this isn’t all that Arai has got but she’s still going to kick her down and win the Princess Of Princess Title. Hattori gave her support to her K!SS// partner and the two of them promoted “SUMMER SUN PRINCESS ’26” to end the show.

Last week Rika Tatsumi claimed she lost in the 8-Woman Tag main event on purpose to help ignite Kyoraku Kyomei into finally wanting to fight Daydream for the Princess Tag Team Titles. That claim had stuck with Hyper Misao all week so she got her hair cut to be 30cm shorter before today’s match. Misao told everyone this on the microphone and joked that she is now totally ready to win the title. This likely was a reference to the time in 2018 when Tatsumi dramatically cut her own hair as part of a failed Princess Title challenge because as soon as she heard Misao’s joke, she immediately lost her temper and choked her with the mic cable to start the match. Miu Watanabe later won the match by pinning Shoko Nakajima with the Tear Drop. Then for a little added boost of momentum, Daydream stopped Kyoraku Kyomei from stealing the title belts after the match. In an ironic turn of events backstage, Kyoraku Kyomei are now claiming that they lost on purpose today in order to motivate the champions for the title match.

A misfire between Daisy Monkey has all of a sudden given Wakana Uehara some motivation heading into her International Princess Title match. Arisu Endo tried to Super Kick Toga but it was dodged and Suzume took the hit instead. Toga gave Endo the Absolute Zero then rallied Uehara to finish the match. Suzume fought back using a low level Ring A Bell but Uehara kicked out of it and then blocked the regular version of Suzume’s finisher. Uehara then jumped onto Suzume and rolled her into the Banana Pillow, keeping her away from the ropes and wrenching in the hold until Suzume tapped out. Suzume has considered her challenger a threat from the beginning but admitted today is the first time she’s really seeing her strength up close. She now wants to fight Uehara more than ever before and is starting to feel hungry about it.

Next week is the Tanabata festival so Pom Harajuku carried down a bamboo branch to stick onto one of the ring corners. She then asked Mizuki & Uta Takami to write down their wishes to stick onto the “tree”. Harajuku & Mahiro Kiryu then attacked them from behind to start the match. Harajuku pulled Mizuki away from ringside during this and trapped her in another part of the building. She then went back to the ring and ripped apart Takami’s wish in front of her. Mizuki eventually broke free from her imprisonment and got the hot tag. She made Harajuku tap out to the Souther Cross while Takami held Kiryu in the Koala Clutch.

Today was Kira Summer’s last match in Tokyo Joshi Pro before she travels home to Australia for the rest of the summer. Her return will be happening around the middle of August. So Australia, go and get ready for Kira Summer’s Summer Of Kira!

DDT “ROCK IN RING 2026 ~ONE HIT KILL~”, 26/07/2026
Tokyo Korakuen Hall

0. Dark Match: Naomi Yoshimura, Yuni & Rukiya Vs Antonio Honda, Masami Inahata & Hinata Kasai

7. Road To PETER PAN 2026! Special Tag Match: Yuki Ueno & Shunma Katsumata Vs MAO & KANON (w/ KIMIHIRO & YUZUKI)

More spotlight on The 37KAMIINA versus Strange Love Connection to build up the KO-D Openweight Title match at Sumo Hall.

So Yuki Ishida is trying to tell anyone who will listen to him that he wants to change. A slightly different hairstyle didn’t work for him or grab much attention so now he thinks challenging for the DDT Extreme Title is the answer he’s looking for. Hideki Okatani didn’t think he is a worthy challenger until Ishida offered to put his hair on the line as well. Since he is a former sumo wrestler and the treatment of their hair is serious business, Okatani now has something of value he wants to take from Ishida.

When I saw that Minoru Suzuki & Jun Akiyama are teaming up together I began to worry for their opponents. Then I saw the opponents are Danshoku Dieno & Sanshiro Takagi so I now worry for everyone in general.

This is the go home show for “SUMMER SUN PRINCESS ’26” and the last prelim match between Yuki Arai and Miyu Yamashita. This is being taken in the form of Kyoto Tag taking on K!SS//.

Are we going to get a final decision from Kyoraku Kyomei over whether or not they will accept Daydream’s demand for a Princess Tag Team Titles defence against them?

GANBARE☆PRO “ENTER THE VOID 2026”, 04/07/2026

6. Spirit Of Ganbare World Openweight Title: Mizuki Watase (c) Vs SUSHI

Another fresh face joshi is showing up to Ganbare☆Pro thanks to Moeka Haruhi. The PURE-J wrestler Mia made her debut this past February and she has wrestled on the same PURE-J shows as Haruhi but hasn’t gotten to be in a match with her there yet. So Haruhi set up a match for them to happen in GanPro.

SUPER JAPAN “BEER GARDEN PRO WRESTLING”, 06/07/2026
Shinjuku FACE

Unpaid Rumble RETURNS!: Sanshiro Takagi Vs Shota Vs Anarko Montaña Vs Yuki Uenokachimachi Vs Okami Kodomo No Hame To Dori Vs Ono-D-Takuma Vs Takashi Oyanakase Vs Sayaingen Kamitani Vs Gansha Fuck Vs Kim Yo-chan Vs GOKUTSUBUSHI Vs Suman Hansen Vs Taiga Vs Honami Takemoto Vs Cho Chichi Shikyu Vs Tsutenkakuka Vs Tataiki Torinomi Vs Genta Nakajo Vs Ujikoji Nagata Vs Yasunori Haou Vs Hameshio HONYO Nyobon Vs “Hamerican Dragon” Bryan Hanielson Vs HAYAZi Vs Hurricane Oniha Vs “Binbin 53cm” Hewyette Stormutzli Vs Koki Fujimoto Vs Nanae Furukawa Vs Hen China Vs Maha Lycopene Vs Mieccha Tiger Mask Vs Movie Star Vs Yoku Tatsu Vs Rising HAYATOCHIRI Vs X

I don’t have a clue how many of those names I got right.

BASARA “BASARA 313 ~SUPER BRILLIANCE~”, 02/08/2026
Tokyo Korakuen Hall

1. Iron Fist Tag Team Titles: Takato Nakano & Masato Kamino (c) Vs Isami Kodaka & Yuko Miyamoto
2. Union MAX Title: Shuji Ishikawa (c) Vs Takumi Tsukamoto

BASARA’s recent tournament ended with Takumi Tsukamoto becoming the No. 1 Contender for the Union MAX Title. He said he will stop Shuji Ishikawa from being the champion for the next ten years because that means Ishikawa will be holding onto the belt until he is sixty.

A big name tag team is reuniting in BASARA, giving Aijin Tag a big target to take down in order to prove they are the promotion’s best ever duo. Isami Kodaka has stopped his recent losing streak while Yuko Miyamoto is all of a sudden getting a couple of title matches in different places. We should pay attention because Yankee Two Kenju might be back and better than ever.
