DDT “BATTLE OF HAMAMATSU”, 02/08/2025
Shizuoka Act City Hamamatsu
??? Fans – Unannounced

1. Hideki Okatani defeated Kazuma Sumi with the Vertical Drop Brainbuster (7:04).
2. 3 Way Body Slam Match: Danshoku Dieno defeated Akito and Yuya Koroku when Dieno Body Slammed Koroku (7:32).
3. Special Tag Match: Yuki Iino & Antonio Honda defeated Hideki “Shrek” Sekine & Kazuki Hirata when Honda pinned Hirata after The Apex Elbow from Iino (10:53).
4. HARASHIMA, Chris Brookes & Takeshi Masada defeated Daisuke Sasaki, Ilusion & MJ Paul when HARASHIMA pinned Paul with the Somato (12:01).
5. Special Tag Match: MAO & KANON (w/ HIMIHIRO) defeated Jun Akiyama & Daichi Sato when KANON pinned Sato with the LONELY DEZIRES (12:15).
6. Special 6-Man Tag Match: Yuki Ueno, To-y & Shinya Aoki defeated Kazusada Higuchi, Yukio Naya & Yuki Ishida when To-y pinned Ishida with the Kojima Impact (22:41).

Today’s main event might serve as a preview for “WRESTLE PETER PAN 2025 – DAY 2” because Kazusada Higuchi and Yuki Ueno were both in it. However Ueno also had to worry about Shinya Aoki because for some reason Aoki broke up a pinfall when Ueno covered Yukio Naya. He later explained it was because he thought Naya was making funny faces at him during that moment. Back in the match Higuchi held Ueno in the Candian Backbreaker and then grabbed To-y in the Claw Hold. Yuki Ishida then tried to get the win at To-y’s expense but instead To-y pinned him with the Kojima Impact. Backstage Higuchi said he hadn’t considered today to be a prelim match with Ueno because he is focused on his KO-D Openweight Title defence with Jun Akiyama first. All Higuchi got from today’s match is he is feeling like he is in good shape.

Since Hideki Sekine is from Hamamatsu and was wrestling in front of friends he didn’t want to do anything embarrassing during his match. That includes dancing so he took the Hirata GO! glasses away from Kazuki Hirata. However when Antonio Honda pulled out Gongitsune, Sekine changed his mind and wore the glasses to fight back while dancing. While this was happening, Yuki Iino beat up Hirata and gave him The Apex Elbow. Honda was able to pin Hirata while Sekine was busy dancing by himself.

There were two tributes for the late Hulk Hogan on this show. Hisaya Imabayashi decided to turn the 3 Way Match into a Body Slam Challenge where the first wrestler to successfully do the move would win. Also at the start of the show Honda entered the ring in full Hogan cosplay and performed his rendition of Hulk Hogan Gymnastics.

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “TOKYO PRINCESS CUP” Results

August 2, 2025

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “TOKYO PRINCESS CUP”, 02/08/2025
Shizuoka Act City Hamamatsu
288 Fans

3. Mizuki, Kakeru Sekiguchi, Mahiro Kiryu & Kaya Toribami defeated Miyu Yamashita, Wakana Uehara, Toga & Mifu Ashida when Mizuki submitted Ashida with the Face Lock (10:33).
4. 12th Tokyo Princess Cup – Round 1: Haru Kazashiro defeated HIMAWARI with the Fisherman Suplex (8:47).
5. 12th Tokyo Princess Cup – Round 1: Arisu Endo defeated Hyper Misao with the Ju no Okite (12:15).
6. 12th Tokyo Princess Cup – Round 1: Yuki Arai defeated Yuki Kamifuku with the Finally (9:46).
7. 12th Tokyo Princess Cup – Round 1: Shoko Nakajima defeated Rika Tatsumi with the Diving Senton (15:19).

Round 1 of this year’s Tokyo Princess Cup is done and dusted, leaving us with 8 wrestlers left in the tournament. Today’s half of the bracket was headlined with the latest chapter in the series between Shoko Nakajima and Rika Tatsumi. From the moment the bell rang Tatsumi was on the attack and kept increasing the pressure from there. Whenever Nakajima started to get some momentum, Tatsumi would cut her off with Hip Attacks, Dragon Screws and Backbreakers. Nakajima finally found her breakthrough by giving her opponent an Avalanche Hurricanrana. Tatsumi tried using the Dragon Sleeper to slow her back down but eventually Nakajima caught her with the 619, setting up the Double Arm DDT and Diving Senton for the victory. After the match Nakajima mentioned Hamamatsu is said to be the city Godzilla crushed in the original movie and today it is where she crushed Tatsumi! This year she is more determined as ever because she is a double champion and cannot lose to anyone. That includes her 2nd Round opponent Mizuki. If anyone is going to become the hero of the summer Nakajima thinks it will be her instead of Mizuki! Backstage Tatsumi said she would have been in some kind of hell whether she won or lost so she would have preferred to win. She thinks today is the strongest that Nakajima has ever been. Nakajima brought up the previous times Tatsumi beat her so today feels like she has paid back a debt. She also proved a big kaiju can step over a dragon!

Yuki Arai was knocked down to the bottom of the mountain when she failed to win the Princess Of Princess Title at “SUMMER SUN PRINCESS ’25”. Today was the beginning of her climbing back up again when she beat a previous Princess Cup finalist Yuki Kamifuku. Arai was almost pinned with an Inverted Famouser but she avoided the Diving version of Kamifuku’s finisher. She then knocked her back with a Short Range Rookie Award and got the pin with the Finally. After the match Arai found Wakana Uehara standing in the distance watching and pointed out to her. The two of them will meet each other next in Round 2. Even though Arai beat Kamifuku she is feeling some regret over the result. Kamifuku still fights the same way she did in their previous matches but she is still a very tough challenge for Arai to beat. It reminds Arai she still has a long way to go. She’s expecting Uehara to be just as dangerous because she had a fierce look in her eyes. Kamifuku told reporters she really hates tournaments because the stress isn’t good for her heart. At least she can now go find other exciting things to do for the rest of the summer.

In the lead up to today’s show Hyper Misao revealed her motivation for entering this year’s Princess Cup. She wants to one day become the Tokyo Joshi Pro GM and winning the tournament will give her the immense power needed to achieve that goal! Unfortunately her plan suffered a major setback from the get go when Arisu Endo eliminated her from the first round. She tried to win using the Kingslayer followed by the Vanitas but Endo instead Super Kicked her and got the pin with the Ju no Okite. Endo thinks this is a huge win because she just defeated a hero! She has a goal of her own, to win the tournament and bring the Princess Cup trophy back to her homecoming show this September. Her dad paid her a visit yesterday just to wish her luck in the tournament so she is fighting for him and their family. She also thinks it will be really cool if she beats Miyu Yamashita in the next round. Misao is not giving up on her goal to become the GM. She is giving herself three years to make it happen and once it does she promises to make TJPW even more enjoyable for everybody.

The youngest entrant in the main tournament has advanced to Round 2. Haru Kazashiro found a counter to HIMAWARI’s Sunflower Tempest and turned it into the Fisherman Suplex for the victory. HIMAWARI is disappointed to be eliminated after working so hard to get past the Preliminary League. It was also her first singles match with Kazashiro in two years so she got to see first hand just how much her opponent has grown. Kazashiro was looking forward to this match so she could avenge her loss to HIMAWARI in the 2023 Next Generation Tournament. She is also feeling like this year is going to be her breakthrough year. With Miu Watanabe now waiting for her in Round 2, Kazashiro wants to build up her momentum even further so she can win the Princess Cup and challenge for the Princess Title.

Today is Mifu Ashida’s birthday so Mahiro Kiryu sang Happy Birthday to her. Then as soon as she finished the song she tried to roll her up for a pinfall. She ended up using that for her Apology spot but Yamashita interrupted it by kicking her in the back.

Maki Itoh missed the show due to illness so Match #2 became a 3 Vs 4 Handicap match without her. Watanabe was moved over to the other team ins Itoh’s place just so Yuki Aino, Raku & Pom Harajuku were all together as the Love Triangle.

The show was also Ren Konatsu’s first homecoming match, even though she only started wrestling two months ago. She was disappointed to drop the fall in the opening tag match because she was teaming with her favorite wrestler Suzume as well as fighting for her hometown. Suzume told her she understands the frustration but the match they had also showed how much fun pro wrestling is. This is how wrestlers get stronger so next time they’re in the same match she wants to see Konatsu getting the win on her own.

Yuki Iino found them backstage and demanded a shot at the KO-D 6-Man Tag Team Titles.

10. KO-D Openweight Title: Kazusada Higuchi (c) Vs Jun Akiyama

The full cards for both days of “WRESTLE PETER PAN 2025” have been revealed. As already mentioned, Daisuke Sasaki & Hideki Okatani want to take the KO-D Tag Titles from The Apex. They believe the current champs are undeserving of the belts. DAMNATION T.A are also bringing back Haruto Sakuraba for his next DDT appearance. Kumadori is also back from injury but his match has nothing to do with Ilusion so I guess we’re just moving on from that little feud for the time being.

The other big match of note in my mind is Hinata Kasai’s debut match. HARASHIMA has been chosen to be his first opponent. The kid is going to eat a Somato sooner or later so may as well get him use to it from the beginning.

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

1. Loser Of 30/08 KO-D Title Match, Super Sasadango Machine & Akito Vs KANON, Kazuki Hirata & Antonio Honda (w/ KIMIHIRO)

The next day is kind of hampered by being unable to react to many consequences that might come from the first show. The loser of the KO-D Openweight Title match will be pushed back to the opener. Matches #3 and #4 have the possibility of turning into a KO-D Tag Title match depending on who wins on the previous day. D GENERATIONS are also being given the spotlight for a big 8-Man Tag.

Tokyo Princess Cup 2025 Brackets

July 17, 2025

Earlier today Tokyo Joshi Pro invited the 16 participants for this year’s Tokyo Princess Cup to take part in the random draw for the brackets. It was one of the rare times when every single wrestler showed up and was able to get their bracket spot in person. They got to pick in order of their birthdays. That means it started with Hyper Misao because her birthday is 3rd January and went on all the way to the end with HIMAWARI because her birthday is on 18th December. The bracket is split into four blocks with the Round 1 matches split across the first two shows.

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “TOKYO PRINCESS CUP”, 27/07/2025
Shinjuku FACE

1. 12th Tokyo Princess Cup – Round 1A: Raku Vs Miu Watanabe
2. 12th Tokyo Princess Cup – Round 1C: Moka Miyamoto Vs Miyu Yamashita
3. 12th Tokyo Princess Cup – Round 1E: Mizuki Vs Yuki Aino
4. 12th Tokyo Princess Cup – Round 1G: Suzume Vs Wakana Uehara

It has been over five years since Raku and Miu Watanabe last had a singles match against each other. Raku is excited because the most fun she had from wrestling against Watanabe was the 3 Way Match they had with Haruna Neko this past January. It was the most fun because Raku won the match! She tried to intimidate Watanabe at the press conference by forming a triangle over her head with her arms. Watanabe thought she was trying to be a traffic cone.

Moka Miyamoto has a very big wall facing her in Round 1 against the returning Miyu Yamashita. She is feeling good after winning her two preliminary matches to qualify for the main tournament and will do her best to make this summer a long one. Yamashita has seen how much stronger Miyamoto has gotten but hasn’t felt that power yet. So she encourages her opponent to hit her harder otherwise she won’t be able to beat her. There is also someone in particular that Yamashita wants to beat in this tournament and that’s Rika Tatsumi! Their last singles match was in May 2021 at an empty Korakuen Hall because of the covid lockdown. She thinks Tatsumi’s matches have become special occassions and she’s noticed how crazier she has become since that last singles match. So Yamashita wants to decide which of them is crazier!

The reigning Princess Of Princess Champion has a big title match coming up in Ota Ward Gymnasium next week but Mizuki sees a vision beyond that. She thinks it would be amazing if the Princess Champion goes and wins the Princess Cup! It’s going to be hard but there are a lot of people in the tournament that Mizuki wants to fight. Yuki Aino wants to focus all of her energy to face the champion in Round 1. That’s if Mizuki is still the champion coming out of Ota Ward. Aino sees a lot of Princess champions in this tournament and she doesn’t want to be left out because she is the princess of the summer!

Funnily enough, during the Texas tour Suzume and Wakana Uehara wrestled each other in a tag match then afterwards talked about how long its been since their last singles match together. Suzume is not going to underestimate Uehara after seeing her advance through the preliminary league. She couldn’t make it to the final four last year so that is her goal this time around. Uehara was pinned by Suzume in Texas but is using this experience to help her win the Princess Cup. If she gets past Suzume then she has some familiar opponents waiting for her in Round 2. It’s either the woman who eliminated her last year or her Ober Eats tag team partner.

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “TOKYO PRINCESS CUP”, 02/08/2025
Shizuoka Act City Hamamatsu

1. 12th Tokyo Princess Cup – Round 1B: HIMAWARI Vs Haru Kazashiro
2. 12th Tokyo Princess Cup – Round 1D: Arisu Endo Vs Hyper Misao
3. 12th Tokyo Princess Cup – Round 1F: Shoko Nakajima Vs Rika Tatsumi
4. 12th Tokyo Princess Cup – Round 1H: Yuki Kamifuku Vs Yuki Arai

Shades of last year’s Next Gen Tournament still follow around some of the wrestlers. HIMAWARI expects Haru Kazashiro to be a tough opponent because she won last year’s Next Gen Tournament while HIMAWARI was knocked out in Round 1. But HIMAWARI has been working hard and wants to keep her momentum going into the Princess Cup. Kazashiro remembers losing to HIMAWARI in the 2023 Next Gen Tournament and she is an opponent Kazashiro hasn’t been able to beat yet. So the timing of this match is a big deal for her. She will aim to seize the last summer of her high school years!

There was a time when Arisu Endo disliked having to wrestle Hyper Misao because Misao would always cheat. Her opinion slowly changed over time and now Endo sees Misao as a really cool hero! She hopes Misao will fight fair and square this time, just like how Endo always does. Misao said she can’t lost here in Round 1 because the Texas tour reaffirmed what she wants to do in TJPW. She needs a lot of power to protect love and peace in TJPW so she figures the quickest way to get it is to win this tournament.

Shoko Nakajima believes she is the only one who can climb this mountain and win. She is currently a Princess Tag Team Champion and also the MLW Women’s Featherweight Champion. She also wants to face Mizuki in Round 2 for a champion versus champion match. But first she needs to become a kaiju that can step over a dragon. Normally Rika Tatsumi loves the summer but all of a sudden this steep mountain has appeared in front of her. She just heard about Yamashita targeting her and she has a score to settle with Nakajima after they fought each other to a time limit draw last December. And of course there is the chance she could face her beloved Mizuki in Round 2. However she wants to fight Mizuki in a rematch for the Princess Title after she wins the tournament so she is actually rooting for Yuki Aino to win and meet her in Round 2 instead!

While Yuki Arai has been skyrocketing up the company to main event Ota Ward next week, Yuki Kamifuku has been wrestling around Southeast Asia and having fun doing it. She now feels like if TJPW fired her today or tomorrow she would have no trouble surviving it. She wants to show the others that invincible people are the scariest. Suzume, Arai and Uehara all have matches they want to get in Round 2 but Kamifuku is going to be mean and not let them happen. Arai has been taking part in the Princess Cup every year since her debut. It helped her make progress one step at a time but this will be her first since graduating as an idol to focus solely on wrestling. She’s thankful to hear so many wrestlers want to fight her so she hopes to be at her strongest to surpass all of those opponents.

6. SCHADENFREUDE International Vs STRANGE LOVE CONNECTION: Chris Brookes & Antonio Honda Vs MAO & KANON (w/ KIMIHIRO)

Injuries to both Yukio Naya and Yuni have pulled them off this weekend’s matches. One of the changes to the card is now Ilusion looking for revenge on Tomomitsu Matsunaga for pinning him at yesterday’s Beer Garden show.

DDT “ROJO PRO WRESTLING IN HANDMADE IN JAPAN FES 2025”, 20/07/2025
Tokyo Big Sight HandMade In Japan Fes 2025 Music & Play Area

1. Falls Count Anywhere 3 Way Tag Match: To-y & Takeshi Masada Vs KANON & Yuki Ishida Vs Daichi Sato & Kazuma Sumi

The injuries also changes the Falls Count Anywhere match at HandMade In Japan Fes this Sunday. Pokotan had been pulled out of the match along with Naya and Yuni in order to even the numbers between the three teams. Maybe Pokotan will show up anyway.

DDT “SANKO MANUFACTURING CO., LTD. OME PRESENTS HARASHIMA RETURNS HOME! ~WE’RE HOLDING A SHOW IN OME! WHY? BECAUSE IT’S MY HOMETOWN!~”, 27/07/2025

8. HARASHIMA Debut 24th Anniversary Match – Special 6-Man Tag Match: HARASHIMA, Togi Makabe & Yasu Urano Vs Shinya Aoki, Shuji Ishikawa & Akito

The expectation is for Naya to have recovered from his neck injury in time to be ready for the KO-D Tag Team Titles match.

Ilusion replaces Yuni as Kazuma Sumi’s opponent. MJ Paul takes Ilusion’s spot in the DAMNATION T.A match.

Other than the main event, the match order has not been determined yet.

DDT “BATTLE OF HAMAMATSU”, 02/08/2025
Shizuoka Act City Hamamatsu

1. 3 Way Match: Danshoku Dieno Vs Akito Vs Yuya Koroku
2. Special Tag Match: Yuki Iino & Antonio Honda Vs Hideki “Shrek” Sekine & Kazuki Hirata
3. Special 6-Man Tag Match: Kazusada Higuchi, Yukio Naya & Yuki Ishida Vs Yuki Ueno, To-y & Shinya Aoki

Thankfully for Kazuki Hirata the next time he steps into the ring with Hideki Sekine they will be tag partners, not opponents.

DDT “YOKOHAMERMAID”, 09/08/2025
Yokohama Radiant Hall

1. Right To Challenge Anytime, Anywhere 3 Way Match: Danshoku Dieno Vs Super Sasadango Machine Vs Kazuki Hirata
2. Special Tag Match: Kazusada Higuchi & Yuki Ishida Vs Jun Akiyama & Tomomitsu Matsunaga
3. Special Tag Match: Minoru Suzuki & Akito Vs MAO & KANON (w/ KIMIHIRO)

The first of four Right To Challenge Anytime, Anywhere prizes is on the line. Every one this time around gives the holder a KO-D Openweight Title shot whenever they want on a DDT show. But if they get directly beaten before cashing it they have to transfer the prize over to the wrestler who beat them. Danshoku Dieno, Super Sasadango Machine and Kazuki Hirata will fight for the first prize.

DDT “SENDAI NEW LEGEND 2025 ~GYUTAN~”, 10/08/2025
Miyagi Yume Messe Miyagi

1. Danshoku Dieno & Akito Vs Kazuki Hirata & Gorgeous Matsuno
2. Right To Challenge Anytime, Anywhere 4 Way Match: Ilusion Vs Takeshi Masada Vs Yuya Koroku Vs Kazuma Sumi
3. MAO 10th Anniversary Match Vol. 1 ~ Special Tag Match: MAO & KANON (w/ KIMIHIRO) Vs Yuki Ueno & To-y

A celebration for a whole decade of MAO begins in his hometown of Miyagi.

The next day will have the second Right To Challenge prize up for grabs between the D GENERATIONS wrestlers. Ilusion, Takeshi Masada, Yuya Koroku and Kazuma Sumi will all be competing for it.

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

1. Hinata Kasai Debut Match: Hinata Kasai Vs X
2. DDT Extreme Title: To-y (c) Vs Yuya Koroku
3. Muscle Sakai 15th Anniversary Of Retirement Match ~ Special Single Match: Minoru Suzuki Vs Muscle Sakai
4. Dramatic Dream Tag Match: Zack Sabre Jr. & Kosei Fujita Vs Chris Brookes & Takeshi Masada
5. KO-D Openweight Title: Kazusada Higuchi (c) Vs Jun Akiyama

To-y becoming the first D GENERATIONS wrestler to win the DDT Extreme Title ended up making Yuya Koroku feeling jealous of him. However he still went out to help To-y defend the title against Hikaru Sato. Out of the goodness of his heart (and so he wouldn’t have to give him money) To-y offered Koroku a chance to challenge him for the title.

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

1. DDT Universal Title: Minoru Suzuki (c) Vs MAO
2. KO-D Openweight Title: Kazusada Higuchi (c) Vs Yuki Ueno
3. Dramatic Dream Match: Hiroshi Tanahashi Vs Danshoku Dieno

The winner of Kazusada Higuchi Vs Jun Akiyama on Day 1 will then defend the KO-D Title against Yuki Ueno on Day 2. Ueno won yesterday’s Battle Royal to get this shot. But things could get thrown into chaos because of the potential Right To Challenge cash ins.

DDT “WHAT ARE YOU DOING 2024 TOUR IN HAMAMATSU” Results

June 23, 2024

DDT “WHAT ARE YOU DOING 2024 TOUR IN HAMAMATSU”, 23/06/2024
Shizuoka Act City Hamamatsu
247 Fans

1. Toru Owashi & Tomomitsu Matsunaga defeated Makoto Oishi & To-y when Matsunaga pinned Oishi with a European Clutch (6:03).
2. Keigo Nakamura & Kazuma Sumi defeated Danshoku Dieno & Kazuki Hirata when Nakamura pinned Hirata with a Modified Crucifix Pin (0:05).
2a. Rematch: Danshoku Dieno & Kazuki Hirata defeated Keigo Nakamura & Kazuma Sumi when Dieno pinned Sumi with the Danshoku Driver (4:46).
3. Smile Squash Vs DAMNATION T.A!: Daisuke Sasaki & MJ Paul defeated HARASHIMA & Akito when Sasaki submitted Akito with the Crossface Lock (10:20).
4. Sanshiro Takagi Indefinite Rest Road ~ Special 6-Man Tag Match: Sanshiro Takagi, Jun Akiyama & Yoshitatsu defeated Yuki Iino, Yukio Naya & Yuya Koroku when Yoshitatsu pinned Koroku with the Yoshi Jam (12:09).
5. Special Single Match: Tetsuya Endo defeated KANON with the Burning Star Press (15:12).
6. The 37KAMIINA Vs SCHADENFREUDE International!: MAO & Shunma Katsumata defeated Chris Brookes & Takeshi Masada when MAO pinned Masada with the Iai Kick (21:06).

The 37KAMIINA continues their strong run lately with another main event win. After the match MAO told the fans he will definitely win the KO-D Openweight Title next month, Shunma Katsumata will continue to defend the DDT Extreme Title and will soon along with To-y win the KO-D 6-Man Tag Team Titles with a third guy he doesn’t know about.

However the KO-D 6-Man Tag Titles are currently being held captive by DAMNATION T.A. Well, at least two of the three title belts are. Daisuke Sasaki & MJ Paul beat HARASHIMA & Akito from Smile Squash and then stole their belts after a post-match attack. Then when DAMNATION T.A left the ring, Katsumata & To-y came in to challenge Smile Squash for the titles like they did yesterday. Though they still refuse to tell anyone who their other tag partner will be. HARASHIMA & Akito both accepted the challenge because HARASHIMA likes the idea of the 6-Man Tag Titles being defended in a 3 Way Match. Backstage Sasaki said the titles do not suit Smile Squash. Instead it will be DAMNATION T.A “defending” the belts against whoever they deem worthy enough at Sumo Hall.

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “TJPW CITY CIRCUIT ’24” Results

June 23, 2024

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “TJPW CITY CIRCUIT ’24”, 23/06/2024
Shizuoka Act City Hamamatsu
237 Fans

1. Mahiro Kiryu defeated Chika Nanase with the Hotei Raoyui (6:19).
2. Shoko Nakajima & Kira Summer defeated Haru Kazashiro & Uta Takami when Nakajima submitted Takami with a Butterfly Lock (8:11).
3. Mizuki defeated Runa Okubo with the Face Lock (8:46).
4. Nao Kakuta defeated Shino Suzuki with the Shiden Kai (9:26).
5. Maki Itoh & Yuki Kamifuku defeated Raku & Pom Harajuku when Itoh submitted Harajuku with the Itoh Deluxe (10:05).
6. Miyu Yamashita, Moka Miyamoto & Toga defeated Suzume, Arisu Endo & Kaya Toribami when Miyamoto submitted Endo with the Rashomon (13:27).
7. Miu Watanabe & Wakana Uehara defeated Rika Tatsumi & HIMAWARI when Watanabe pinned HIMAWARI with the Tear Drop (13:01).

Two regular tag teams were mixed together in the main event. Daydream were having a prelim match against each other that also had Wakana Uehara and HIMAWARI involved. Rika Tatsumi & HIMAWARI worked together to get Uehara out of the way but Miu Watanabe came in to clean house. She got rid of Tatsumi with a Power Slam and then pinned HIMAWARI with the Tear Drop. Watanabe said the match made her more excited for “SUMMER SUN PRINCESS ’24” on 20th July. However she does not have a good read on Tatsumi yet. Tatsumi admits that Watanabe has become a real threat in the ring and today she felt the pain that she least wants to experience.

In a little bit of an upset Moka Miyamoto made Arisu Endo give up to the Rashomon in a 6-Woman Tag Match! The result came from Miyamoto countering out of Endo’s Ju no Okite finisher. Miyamoto reminded everyone afterward that she wants to fight for a championship soon. She laid out those plans after her match with Hikaru Shida earlier this month. Well based on today’s result Miyamoto now wants to challenge Daisy Monkey for the Princess Tag Team Titles. She will go look for a tag partner who can fight with the same passion she has. Both Suzume & Endo see her as an opponent they have to beat so they will accept her challenge.

Pom Harajuku brought along unagi pies as souvenirs for almost everyone in her match including the referee. She did not have any left for Yuki Kamifuku and Maki Itoh wouldn’t share any of hers. That caused Kamifuku to get upset and spend most of the match crying outside the ring while Itoh had to fight RakuPom by herself. Raku put Itoh into a Sleeper Hold, forcing a desperate Itoh to tell Kamifuku she can take her souvenir just so she will get back into the match and help her win.

Shizuoka’s own Shino Suzuki was given a special match against Nao Kakuta as part of Kakuta’s retirement road. Suzuki came close to winning with a Sleeper Hold but Kakuta was able to get a rope break and then win with the Shiden Kai. She was surprised to discover first hand just how much potential Suzuki has. It reminds her of herself when she was a rookie. Kakuta will be watching Suzuki from a distance soon and hopes she will rapidly grow in an environment as wonderful as Tokyo Joshi Pro.

Yuki Aino was pulled from the show because she was feeling unwell. That changed the card a little bit resulting in Mizuki Vs Runa Okubo and Mahiro Kiryu Vs Chika Nanase both happening.
