Yes! Wonderland Title Matches, Saiki’s Final Cheer, Sakazaki Going Back To AEW

April 30, 2022

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “YES! WONDERLAND 2022 ~SPREAD THE WINGS OF YOUR DREAMS~”, 03/05/2022
Tokyo Korakuen Hall

1. Exhibition Match: Reika Saiki Vs Arisu Endo
2. Yuki Kamifuku & Mahiro Kiryu Vs Haruna Neko & Kaya Toribami
3. Suzume Vs Julia Nagano
4. Rika Tatsumi, Miu Watanabe & Yuki Arai Vs Yuki Aino, Raku & Pom Harajuku
5. Miyu Yamashita & Maki Itoh Vs Hikaru Shida & Moka Miyamoto
6. Princess Tag Team Titles: Yuka Sakazaki & Mizuki (c) Vs Hikari Noa & Nao Kakuta
7. Princess Of Princess Title: Shoko Nakajima (c) Vs Hyper Misao

The contracts for the two title matches were signed at the beginning of today’s show. Shoko Nakajima was coming in with tremendous confidence after wrestling in England this past week but Hyper Misao would later put a damper on her with today’s result. Misao does not know what the qualifications of a champion are other that they believe in themselves. She’s been believing in herself lately so maybe that is proof Hyper Misao is ready to become the Princess Of Princess Champion. Misao also said Nakajima’s strength is having “hero power” like a shonen manga protagonist. No matter how much adversity she faces, she turns it into power to fight back. Nakajima though admits her weakness is leaving her guard down so she has to be careful if Misao pulls out any tricks.

Free WiFi claim they have a lot of respect for The Magical Sugar Rabbits because they are the dominant tag team in Tokyo Joshi Pro. This will be the third time Hikari Noa is challenging for the Princess Tag Team Titles. She thinks she has to win it here because it took her three tries to win the International Princess Title. Her tag partner Nao Kakuta admits Free WiFi have not teamed for very long but they will still fight to become TJPW’s top tag team. Mizuki called them out for behaving like good girls here when in the ring they are not good girls at all. Yuka Sakazaki does not think the challengers have a single advantage over them.

One more match for Reika Saiki as part of her retirement from pro wrestling and it is a special one. She is getting three minutes in the ring with Arisu Endo. Both women are former members of the Cheer♡1 idol group and they were cast under the same role in the unit. It was Saiki’s work as a wrestler that inspired Endo to become one herself so it is a dream come true for Endo to wrestle her right at the end of Saiki’s career.

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “GO GO DO IT”, 05/05/2022
Osaka Edion Arena #2

1. Yuna Manase Vs Mahiro Kiryu
2. Miyu Yamashita & Miu Watanabe Vs Saki Akai & Yuki Kamifuku
3. Osaka Special 8-Woman Tag Match: Yuki Arai, Suzume, Moka Miyamoto & Arisu Endo Vs Maki Itoh, Princess Of Princess Champion & Princess Tag Team Champions

TJPW announced that earlier this week AEW contacted them asking for Yuka Sakazaki to wrestle a match in America next week. After discussions over scheduling and travel, an agreement was made on short notice. Sakazaki will still be at the 3rd May show in Korakuen Hall but will not be part of their aftershow promotional event taking place later in the evening. She also will no longer be on the 5th May show in Osaka. Right now the date for her return is publicly unknown. May is a light schedule for TJPW. Their next show after the 5th is on the 15th and the only other one after that is on the 29th. So I say there’s no rush for her to get back to Japan immediately. The likely move is to put her in a qualification match for the Owen Hart Foundation Tournament and see where she goes from there. Or maybe she’s the one MJF hired to take down Wardlow, I dunno.

Yuna Manase returns to take on Mahiro Kiryu. The two were on opposite sides at Sumo Hall back in March for the TJPW Vs Ganbare☆Pro tag match.

The remaining card will not be decided on until after the 3rd May show takes place. If The Magical Sugar Rabbits are still the Princess Tag Team Champions going into Osaka then Sakazaki’s spot in the main event will be replaced by someone else.

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “TJPW SPRING TOUR ’22” Results

April 30, 2022

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “TJPW SPRING TOUR ’22”, 30/04/2022
Tokyo Ryogoku KFC Hall
155 Fans

1. Suzume defeated Kaya Toribami with the Ring A Bell (9:50).
2. Yuki Aino defeated Arisu Endo with the Full Nelson Of Love And Fire (8:48).
3. 3 Way Match: Raku defeated Rika Tatsumi and Haruna Neko when Raku pinned Neko with the Doctor Yellow (7:43).
4. Maki Itoh defeated Moka Miyamoto with the Itoh Punish (8:46).
5. Miyu Yamashita & Miu Watanabe defeated Yuki Kamifuku & Mahiro Kiryu when Watanabe pinned Kiryu after the Kick de Bakoon! (12:56).
6. Hyper Misao, Hikari Noa & Nao Kakuta defeated Shoko Nakajima, Yuka Sakazaki & Mizuki when Misao pinned Nakajima with the Vanitas (11:20).

Hyper Misao pins Shoko Nakajima just three days before their Princess Of Princess Title match! She wanted to prove she can beat the champion fair and square so Misao placed all of her spray cans in the middle of the ring before the match began. Oddly enough, for once the shenanigans during the match did not come from Misao. Instead Free WiFi again removed a turnbuckle pad to use against The Magical Sugar Rabbits. This time however MagiRabi blocked the attack and used the turnbuckle against their challengers instead. The two tag teams cancelled each other out, leaving Misao to avoid the Northern Lights Suplex and then pin Nakajima with the Vanitas. Misao afterwards said she wants to win the Princess Title from Nakajima to prove she is the main character of Kyoraku Kyomei! Nakajima promised to react on 3rd May with her actions instead of with her attitude. Free WiFi also gave their statement that they will win the Princess Tag Team Titles and do so with a good reception.

Momoiro Sparkling used a new double team move to win their match. The Kick de Bakoon! starts with Miu Watanabe putting the victim in a Canadian Backbreaker and then Miyu Yamashita jumps off the top rope with a Diving Knee Drop on top of them.

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “TJPW SPRING TOUR ’22” Results

April 29, 2022

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “TJPW SPRING TOUR ’22”, 29/04/2022
Tokyo Ryogoku KFC Hall
150 Fans

1. Yuki Aino defeated Kaya Toribami with the Venus DDT (6:57).
2. Miu Watanabe defeated Haruna Neko with the Canadian Backbreaker (7:33).
3. Hikari Noa & Nao Kakuta defeated Rika Tatsumi & Arisu Endo when Kakuta pinned Endo with the Shiden Kai (11:20).
4. Miyu Yamashita defeated Moka Miyamoto with the Attitude Adjustment (8:25).
5. Yuka Sakazaki, Mizuki & Raku defeated Maki Itoh, Yuki Kamifuku & Mahiro Kiryu when Sakazaki pinned Kiryu after the Toy Story 4 (13:01).
6. Shoko Nakajima & Pom Harajuku defeated Hyper Misao & Suzume when Nakajima pinned Suzume with the Northern Lights Suplex (12:45).

Fresh back from England, Shoko Nakajima wanted to show off her manners she learned over there by shaking hands with Hyper Misao before the main event began. There was an accidental unmasking when Nakajima gave Misao a Hurricanrana but other than that tension was calm between the two. After the match Nakajima said wrestling outside of Tokyo Joshi Pro gave her a different view and she wants to bring everyone to that wider place. There is still another tag match between her and Misao tomorrow before the Princess Of Princess Title defence takes place next week. She is enthusiastic for it. Today was also a rare situation for Pom Harajuku. She is a winner in the main event! Even she can’t believe it and thinks it was a fluke. She won’t be at tomorrow’s show so she asked Nakajima to work 2.5 times as hard for her.

Another preview match for Korakuen Hall saw Miyu Yamashita beat Moka Miyamoto. Yamashita could feel that Miyamoto understands the importance of their tag match on 3rd May and it showed with her performance today. Miyamoto is disappointed with the loss but will use it for motivation when she takes on Maki Itoh tomorrow. By doing her best in her singles matches it means she will also do her best when she teams with Hikaru Shida next week.

It was announced that Reika Saiki will have a three minute exhibition match against Arisu Endo as part of her retirement ceremony on 3rd May. Saiki and Endo both came from Cheer♡1 and were even in the same “Yellow” role of the group. In fact, it was because of Saiki that Endo became a wrestler in the first place.

Shinjuku FACE

1. KO-D 6-Man Tag Team Titles Tournament – Round 1: Daisuke Sasaki, MJ Paul & X Vs HARASHIMA, Toru Owashi & Naomi Yoshimura
2. KO-D 6-Man Tag Team Titles Tournament – Round 1: Kazusada Higuchi, Yukio Sakaguchi & Hideki Okatani Vs Akito, Hikaru Machida & Thanomsak Toba

Four teams are entering a single elimination tournament for the vacant KO-D 6-Man Tag Team Titles. They are DAMNATION T.A (with the mystery partner they have been teasing for weeks), DISASTER BOX, Eruption and a kickboxing team led by Akito. He invited Hikaru Machida to continue pro wrestling after his performances in the King Of Street Wrestling tournament. Thanomsak Toba was Machida’s “cornerman” for those matches and is inspired to pass on his knowledge over to his new wrestling protégé.

DDT “YAMADA FISHERIES PRESENTS FRIED YAMADA FESTIVAL IS IT FRIED!”, 08/05/2022
Kagoshima Shibushi City Unagi Station

1. Kazuki Hirata Vs Hideki Okatani
2. Daisuke Sasaki & MJ Paul Vs Soma Takao & Shunma Katsumata
3. 3 Way Tag Match: Yuki “Sexy” Iino & Danshoku “Dandy” Dieno Vs Sanshiro Takagi & Toru Owashi Vs Chris Brookes & Saki Akai

6. FRIED Yamada Festival Deep Fried Food! Special 6-Man Tag Match: Shishamo Power, Unagi Power & HARASHIMA Vs Yuji Hino, Yukio Naya & Akito

Shishamo Power finally reaches the promise land. The gimmick was created to promote this show back in January but it was delayed until May. During this time his few appearances have been to feud with Yukio Naya & Akito. They hold a grudge because they want the population of Japan to become meat eaters instead of following Shishamo’s lead of having a seafood diet. Shishamo is receiving unexpected help from local Shibushi wrestler Unagi Mask to even the numbers. Now to make their match even bigger HARASHIMA and Yuji Hino are being brought into the battle.

Other guests are on the card. Shiro Koshinaka’s previous match in DDT took place last August. Tetsuya Endo was one of his opponents for his 40th Anniversary match back in 2019 so there’s a little bit of history there between them to relive. Shinya Aoki is also on the show.

DDT “AUDIENCE 2022”, 22/05/2022
Tokyo Korakuen Hall

1. KO-D 6-Man Tag Team Titles Tournament – Final: X, X & X Vs X, X & X

The very first Pocchari Joshi show was built around Yumehito Imanari taking on his muse Yuna Manase. To celebrate the brand’s 3rd anniversary it is time to run that match back!

As mentioned in the match title, Maika Ozaki is an accomplished high school weightlifter turned pro wrestler. She was trained by Manase in Actwres girl’Z and spent most of her wrestling career as a freelancer, although most of her time is spent in Ice Ribbon. Kind of surprising then it took her this long to show up in Ganbare☆Pro given her connection with Manase.

All four Tokyo Joshi Pro champions will team together for an 8-Woman Tag Match in Osaka. However since the Princess Of Princess Title and the Princess Tag Team Titles are being defended on 3rd May, there may be new champions teaming with Maki Itoh by the time this match happens. TJPW don’t want to tip their hand here. So Itoh will team with Nakajima or Hyper Misao and Magical Sugar Rabbits or Free WiFi.

Saki Akai will be on the show.

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “TJPW SPRING TOUR ’22” Results

April 17, 2022

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “TJPW SPRING TOUR ’22”, 17/04/2022
Tokyo Ryogoku KFC Hall
270 Fans – Super No Vacancy Full House

1. Hikari Noa & Nao Kakuta defeated Yuki Aino & Pom Harajuku when Noa pinned Harajuku with a Rotating Foot Hold (8:59).
2. Miyu Yamashita, Raku & Yuki Arai defeated Rika Tatsumi, Yuki Kamifku & Mahiro Kiryu when Yamashita pinned Kiryu with the Attitude Adjustment (12:50).
3. Yuka Sakazaki & Mizuki defeated Maki Itoh & Haruna Neko when Sakazaki pinned Neko with the Magical Merry-Go-Round (13:45).
4. Hyper Misao, Miu Watanabe & Moka Miyamoto defeated Shoko Nakajima, Suzume & Arisu Endo when Misao pinned Endo with the Hypami Returns (12:52).
5. Marika Kobashi Graduation Commemorative Match – 1 Vs 20 Handicap Tag Match: Shoko Nakajima, Yuka Sakazaki, Mizuki, Maki Itoh, Miyu Yamashita, Rika Tatsumi, Hyper Misao, Yuki Aino, Miu Watanabe, Raku, Hikari Noa, Nao Kakuta, Yuki Kamifuku, Suzume, Arisu Endo, Moka Miyamoto, Pom Harajuku, Haruna Neko, Mahiro Kiryu & Yuki Arai (3) defeated Marika Kobashi (0) (21:10).
5a. Everyone pinned Marika Kobashi with the Goodnight Express (2:26).
5b. Raku submitted Marika Kobashi with a Front Neck Lock (17:41).
5c. Miyu Yamashita pinned Marika Kobashi with the Attitude Adjustment (21:10).

Marika Kobashi has called time on her wrestling career in Tokyo Joshi Pro. While it is not a full on retirement from pro wrestling, she wants to focus on other priorities for the remainder of her college life. So who knows, maybe this won’t be the last time we see her in the squared circle again somewhere. Her final match was a special 1 Vs 20 Handicap match with the goal for either side to win three falls. The first fall began with Kobashi taking on Shoko Nakajima. Soon Raku was tagged in and her Goodnight Express spot ended up with the entire team of 20 all piling on top of Kobashi to pin her. In the second fall, the team launched a Train Attack on Kobashi. Tetsuya Koda was forced by Yuka Sakazaki to join in. Kobashi cut him off with a kick and pinned him with the Bakachinga Elbow but it didn’t count. Raku instead got involved again and used Kobashi’s signature submission hold the Front Neck Lock against her to secure the second fall. The third fall ended up being the final one when Miyu Yamashita pinned Kobashi with the Attitude Adjustment.

After the match Kobashi was given gifts and bouquets from the roster. She said when she first joined TJPW she didn’t know how to interact with everyone. She hit her walls but pro wrestling was always there to support her. It is what made her into the strong and affectionate person she is today. She reminded everyone her decision is to graduate, not to retire, because she has a desire to move onto new things that are not pro wrestling. She hopes these new experiences will make her a more wonderful pro wrestler and that some day she can meet everyone in TJPW again. She made a promise to beat Abdullah Kobayashi so neither of them can retire until it happens.

Today’s preview match between Shoko Nakajima and Hyper Misao saw the upcoming challenger get the better of the champion. Misao did so by attacking Nakajima with the Princess Of Princess Title belt! Misao grabbed the title and posed with it during her pre-bell ambush, then later used it as a weapon after a ref bump. She took out Nakajima with the Hypami Returns and used the same move on Arisu Endo to win the match. Misao thinks Nakajima’s upcoming visit to England is not an excursion but a desertion. Today’s win is good for Misao because she believes it sends out the message that the title will belong to her sooner or later. Nakajima said she always has fun whenever she teams with Misao but being on the other end of her pranks and tactics in the ring makes her angry.

The 9th annual Tokyo Princess Cup will began with three consecutive shows at Ryogoku KFC Hall on the 16th, 17th and 18th July. It will move over to Shinjuku FACE on the 23rd, then the Quarter Finals will take place in Otemachi Mitsui Hall on the 31st. The semi-finals are at Korakuen Hall on 13th August and the final will be in the same venue on the 14th.

The two are still friends but Misao quickly launched the first shot, giving Nakajima a Stunner to warn her to keep her guard up at all times!

The Magical Sugar Rabbits are not taking Free WiFi seriously. They kept making connectivity jokes instead of accepting their opponents’ challenge.

Tokyo Joshi Pro has confirmed that Reika Saiki’s retirement ceremony will be held during the show.

GANBARE☆PRO “LOVE PHANTOM 2022”, 03/05/2022
Tokyo Korakuen Hall

2. Nippon Ganbare Union Vs VENYU Full-Scale Battle: Yuna Manase & YuuRI Vs Yuki Kamifuku & Asuka
3. Ganpro Special Single Match ~A Better Tomorrow~: Ken Ohka Vs Muscle Sakai
4. Shinjiro Otani Ganpro Return Battle ~LOVE PHANTNOM 2022 Special Tag Match~: Shinjiro Otani & Mizuki Watase Vs Keisuke Ishii & Kouki Iwasaki
5. Spirit Of Ganbare World Openweight Title: Tatsuhito Takaiwa (c) Vs Yumehito Imanari

The contract for the main event has been signed but Yumehito Imanari is looking out of his depth. Tatsuhito Takaiwa tricked him into lowering his guard so he could hit him with a Lariat during the signing. He previously beat Imanari to become the Spirit Of Ganbare Title but that was part of a tournament. Since both wrestlers will be fresh going into the match this time, Takaiwa wonders if the true champion is going to be determined.

Match #4 will not be happening. Shinjiro Otani suffered a scary injury at yesterday’s ZERO1 show in Sumo Hall when he took a German Suplex into the turnbuckles. He is still conscious but hasn’t been able to move his limbs since. There is no official diagnosis yet but Otani’s wrestling career might be over.

An old friend of Ken Ohka has come to offer him guidance. Muscle Sakai misses the days when Ganbare☆Pro was built around Ohka and wants him to headline Ganpro’s biggest show in Ota Ward Gymnasium this Summer. But Ohka is nowhere near ready for it so Sakai will wrestle him to bring that spark back and prepare him for his return to the main event.

Yuna Manase got a surprise visit from a friend too. Yuki Kamifuku is calling by Ganpro for a visit so she can catch up with her. However Kamifuku is now besties with Asuka while Manase has formed the Nippon Ganbare Union with YuuRI. If that’s not enough, one of YuuRI’s first matches in Ganpro was a disappointed effort against Asuka. This is her chance to make up for it by putting up a better fight.

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “TJPW INSPIRATION” Results

April 10, 2022

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “TJPW INSPIRATION”, 10/04/2022
Shin-Kiba 1st RING
107 Fans

1. Miyu Yamashita defeated Kaya Toribami with the Attitude Adjustment (7:03).
2. Yuka Sakazaki defeated Moka Miyamoto with a Chickenwing Lock (11:25).
3. Marika Kobashi & Abdullah Kobayashi defeated SAKI & Antonio Honda when Kobashi pinned Honda with the Bakachinga Elbow Drop (17:29).
3a. Extra Match: Abdullah Kobayashi Vs Marika Kobashi ended in a Time Limit Draw (3:00).
4. Rika Tatsumi defeated Suzume with the White Dragon Sleeper (13:32).

The latest edition of “TJPW INSPIRATION” presented two matches where one wrestler got to be in the ring with someone who influenced them. In the main event Suzume faced Rika Tatsumi, the woman she aspires to be. She wasn’t able to beat her but Tatsumi was left impressed by her opponent. It was a chance for Suzume to look at herself and see how much she has grown. She is catching up with her seniors but can’t stop because they too are also moving forward. Suzume promised she will continue to fly higher whether it’s as a singles wrestler or in a tag team.

The other big match of the show had Marika Kobashi team up with her favourite pro wrestler, Abdullah Kobayashi. The origin of this story is Kobashi first met Kobayashi back when she was in elementary school. She then became a fan of his in junior high school after seeing him wrestle in a shopping district. In fact, he is one of the reasons why Kobashi took that name for her moniker. Getting the chance to team with him today was a dream come true for her. They won too, beating SAKI & Antonio Honda when the two of them gave Honda the Bakachinga Elbow.

That wasn’t all though. Kobayashi said he wanted to wrestle against Kobashi and challenged her to a match right there and then! However he had a busy evening ahead of him so he only had time for the match to have a 3 minute time limit. The match began with Kobashi threw Dropkicks, Chops and Elbow Strikes but Kobayashi stopped her with a Headbutt. He landed the Bakachinga Elbow but Kobashi kicked out and the match ended in a time limit draw. Kobayashi told her not to forget these feelings after she graduates from pro wrestling. Also she is still young so she can always come back to wrestling in the future. Kobashi thanked him for making her dream come true. She also explained her graduation from Tokyo Joshi Pro does not mean she is retiring from pro wrestling. She is going to grow up and become stronger. She told Kobayashi not to retire while she is gone because she will come back as a cool lady wrestler ready to crush him!

Two other singles matches filled up the small card. Yuka Sakazaki submitted Moka Miyamoto with a Chickenwing Lock. Sakazaki spent the match tying up Miyamoto in other submission holds. Miyamoto had some of her own like the Rashomon and a Sleeper Hold. That Sleeper Hold though was countered into the Chickenwing leading to the finish.

Miyu Yamashita beat Kaya Toribami in a similar match where the veteran put their less experience opponent through a tough challenge. Toribami did avoid the Attitude Adjustment early but the move was successfully pulled off later to finish her off.

The show began with Shoko Nakajima announcing she will be wrestling in London, England for EVE on 23rd April. That means she will not be at the Ryogoku KFC Hall show on the 24th. Nakajima said she wants to travel around the world and England will be the third country she will have wrestled in. Her goal is to make it to 100!

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “STILL INCOMPLETE ’22” Results

April 9, 2022

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “STILL INCOMPLETE ’22”, 09/04/2022
Tokyo Korakuen Hall
509 Fans

1. Pom Harajuku & Moka Miyamoto defeated Haruna Neko & Kaya Toribami when Harajuku pinned Toribami with the Pom de Justice (8:52).
2. Miyu Yamashita defeated Juria Nagano with the Skull Kick (4:12).
3. Marika Kobashi defeated Raku with the Run-Up Bulldog Headlock (6:43).
4. Hikari Noa & Nao Kakuta defeated Maki Itoh & Yuki Kamifuku when Kakuta pinned Kamifuku with the Shiden Kai (11:31).
5. Hyper Misao defeated Miu Watanabe with the Vanitas (11:01).
6. Saki Akai & Yuki Arai defeated Rika Tatsumi & Mahiro Kiryu when Arai pinned Kiryu with the Finally (13:20).
7. Princess Tag Team Titles: Yuka Sakazaki & Mizuki (c) defeated Suzume & Arisu Endo when Mizuki pinned Endo with the Diving Foot Stomp (16:05).
*V3 for The Magical Sugar Rabbits.
8. Princess Of Princess Title: Shoko Nakajima (c) defeated Yuki Aino with the Diving Senton (15:49).
*V1 for Shoko Nakajima.

A new chapter in Tokyo Joshi Pro began with Shoko Nakajima scoring her first Princess Of Princess Title defence against Yuki Aino. The challenger put forth a strong effort to show she is ready to fight on her own but Nakajima planted her with the Double Arm DDT and got the pin with the Diving Senton. She told Aino she will continue winning and moving forward. She hopes Aino will do the same. The two shook hands over the apron after Aino left the ring.

Hyper Misao then entered the ring challenging Nakajima for the Princess Title! Misao believes the reason why their Kyoraku Kyomei tag team always blow it during their most crucial moments is because she is weak. Misao was losing faith in herself but today she won her match after being pushed into a corner and feels like she has finally woken up. For Kyoraku Kyomei to improve, Misao has to grow stronger and to do that she needs to beat Nakajima for the championship! Nakajima accepted the challenge for 3rd May and the two shook hands. Then suddenly Misao gave her the Stunner! She said the battle has now begun and Nakajima shouldn’t let her guard down because Misao will tear the belt from her if she has too!

The newly renamed Daisy Monkey wanted to prove that their bond is just as strong as The Magical Sugar Rabbits. They hit them quick with plenty of double team moves and Dropkicks. Mizuki cut off Arisu Endo’s momentum and they dying minutes of the match came down to them. Suzume did her best to stop Yuka Sakazaki but Mizuki kicked her away so Sakazaki could go hit the Magical Girl Splash onto Endo. Mizuki then followed up with the Diving Foot Stomp to get the victory.

After the match, Free WiFi came out to confront MagiRabi. Both Hikari Noa & Nao Kakuta politely asked for the two teams to connect together for a Princess Tag Team Titles match. MagiRabi began making jokes that they couldn’t hear Free WiFi because they have a bad connection and they left without accepting the challenge. Kakuta won’t take no for an answer though and told everyone the title match will take place on 3rd May. Backstage Sakazaki said Daisy Monkey had more guts than she expected. She made more jokes about Free WiFi being on 3G while MagiRabi are on 5G. Meanwhile Kakuta has heard the rumours about how every tag partner Noa has ends up leaving her and disappearing. She promises she won’t do that to her.

Reiwa AA Cannon is off to a good start, winning their first match together. Saki Akai & Yuki Arai showed off the double ring entrance they were working on together during the week. In the match itself they used a Double Big Boot to good effect. Akai got rid of Rika Tatsumi with the Quetzalcoatl. Arai then got a three count on Mahiro Kiryu with the Finally. Akai said she will watch over Arai to see how she grows and is looking forward to seeing how their destinies will be intertwined in the future.

Misao’s big win to kick off her big title challenge was at the expense of Miu Watanabe. When the match begun Misao handed Watanabe her CV to audition for The Up Up Girls (Pro Wrestling). It was of course a trap to make Watanabe drop her guard. Misao took her out of the ring and tried to trap her underneath the floor mat for a countout win but it just about failed. In the end Misao dusted off the Vanitas finisher she used from her darker days to beat Watanabe.

Free WiFi beat MakiYuki Happy to get them their Princess Tag Titles shot. They offered a handshake before the match but Maki Itoh refused, causing them to attack Yuki Kamifuku. WiFi’s teamwork led to Kakuta pinning Kamifuku with the Shiden Kai.

In her final match at Korakuen Hall, Marika Kobashi gets to leave the venue with a win. She beat Raku in a singles match and the two left ringside together happy for each other. Kobashi said Raku was the first person in TJPW she became friends with. It’s because of Raku that Kobashi got to show her true self and they have a lot of memories together. The match made Kobashi happy because it showed her that Raku has the muddy side of a pro wrestler to go along with her cute personality outside of the ring. Raku said she knows Kobashi will still be watching her after she graduates.

There were strikes and kicks aplenty when Miyu Yamashita fought the rookies Juria Nagano. The karate background of both women were on display as the two tried to get the better of each other. Nagano’s big mistake came when she missed the Brazilian Kick, giving Yamashita the opening to throw the Skull Kick and win the match. Nagano said she was honored to face Yamashita one on one in just her second pro wrestling match. The Low Kicks she took left her feeling heavy because they are not part of traditional Karate. Yamashita thinks the rematch will be really interesting once Nagano has more pro wrestling experience. They may even do the rematch at a “TJPW INSPIRATION” show so they can use different rules.

In the opening match Moka Miyamoto kept Haruna Neko away so Pom Harajuku could pin Kaya Toribami with the Pom de Justice. Toribami just couldn’t figure out how to stop those shin kicks.
