*V1 for Miu Watanabe.

When Miu Watanabe was crowned the princess of the Summer (the new intro to her song is there to remind you if you forgot), Yuki Aino wanted to prove she can become the princess of the Autumn. Today was her chance to keep her fire burning with a Princess Of Princess Title challenge that pitted power against power. Aino used Shoulder Tackles as well as a Reverse Splash from the ring apron to the outside. Watanabe drove Aino back first into the corner post and went on to work that area with Backbreakers. Aino powered through it to use Side Suplexes including one from the top rope but went back to the Shoulder Tackles one time too many. Watanabe gradually won out that battle and used her new Spinning Tear Drop variation to win the match.

Watanabe said she is sore after her first title defence but it was fun to bump around the ring with Aino. She calls Aino a precious and important member of their generation and she was happy to fight her for the championship. Watanabe then told the fans Tokyo Joshi Pro has more Korakuen Hall shows coming on the horizon and she wants to keep defending the Princess Title on the road to Sumo Hall next March. Her goal is to not just inspire the current TJPW fans but also those who have not seen her or experienced TJPW yet. The next Princess Title defence will be against American wrestler J-Rod on 9th October. She doesn’t know much about her other than she looks really muscular.

There was one time when Yuki Kamifuku and Yuna Manase were tag partners who had challenged for the Princess Tag Team Titles together. Today they found themselves in a similar position but this time Kamifuku was a champion defending against Manase. While that was going on their tag partners were pairing off against each other too. Wakana Uehara and Toga blocked each other from using their finishers until Uehara locked on the Banana Pillow. Manase broke it up but was immediately hit with the Diving Famouser from Kamifuku. Toga fought against Ober Eats by herself and was even able to give Kamifuku the Rock Bottom, but Uehara grabbed her in the Sushi Tornado to successfully defend the titles. After the match Hot Shot turned down handshakes from Ober Eats but it was just so they could hug them instead.

Uehara said backstage that this title run is her way of repaying Kamifuku for everything she’s done for her. Kamifuku said today’s win means she has surpassed Manase but she will still treat her and her mother to a Korean meal in Shin-Okubo. She also came up with a team name for their next opponents HIMAWARI & Shino Suzuki. She is calling them Plain Long Hair and she thinks they are completely out of her league. Over on the other end Toga talked about how close Manase and Kamifuku are, close enough to be like sisters. The match they had wants her to challenge for the Princess Tag Titles again and she would like to continue the Hot Shot team in both TJPW and maybe even Ganbare☆Pro. Manase thinks GanPro would be happy to welcome her as a guest. They’ll teach her the way to guarantee victory is to never give up until you win.

Arisu Endo better be careful because she’s starting to trespass into Shoko Nakajima’s territory with her insistence that she is bigger than she looks. Endo wanted to shake Alice Crowley’s hand before their match and was kicked away so her response was to call herself big in front of her bigger challenger. At first that seemed like a mistake because Crowley slammed Endo around and Power Bombed her into the corner. But despite the beating Endo took from repeated Lariats, she ducked under one and stunned Crowley with two Super Kicks before picking her up for the Ju no Okite to win the match. Backstage Endo said the result means she is bigger than “Big Al” but she’s now formed a bond with her two. She would like the two of them to team up on tomorrow’s show in Gunma because it will be Crowley’s last booking of this tour. Crowley admits that “Little Al”/”Big Endo” has a big spirit so if you can’t beat them, join them.

You just know that Hyper Misao had something planned for Yuki Arai in their first singles match together. Her idea was to have a ToJo-naire Quiz! Every time a wrestler scored a two count pin or a rope break they would have to answer a personal question about their opponent to win. The question was presented Who Wants To Be A Millionaire style including the lifelines. Arai was asked what prefecture is Misao’s home of Gotham City in? She said Chiba but was wrong (it’s Ibaraki). Misao was asked how long does Arai wake up before she leaves the house? She said 90 minutes but was wrong (it’s 120 minutes). Misao was also asked to identify lyrics of the SKE48 song “Pareo Wa Emerald” but she got that wrong. Misao remained in control of the match so was given the next question, what is Arai’s zodiac sign? She used her “Phone a Friend” Shoko Nakajima but Nakajima incorrectly answered Scorpio (she’s a Taurus). Arai got to be asked what does Misao always drink before her matches? She used her “Ask The Audience” lifeline and the poll incorrectly chose Yunker (it’s Red Bull). Arai then got asked what Misao’s favorite sushi dish is? Arai admitted she has never gotten to eat with Misao before so she randomly guessed Ikura (salmon roe). She was correct and declared the winner! Arai was happy with the result but her “Phone A Friend” Miyu Yamashita was annoyed she was never called to help. Backstage Misao talked about how lucky Arai is. The other day there was a romance novel that everyone was waiting to order because of a lottery yet Arai told everyone she was able to just go on the website and order it immediately. If Misao knew beforehand that is how lucky Arai is, she would have come up with different rules for the match!

Part of the undercard included a three match series called the LEVEL UP TRIAL that is designed to give TJPW’s younger wrestlers some major experience boosts on the road to “GRAND PRINCESS ’26” next March. Haru Kazashiro was put together with Mizuki, who was wearing a new black costume. She was also slightly more aggressive than usual which got her a warning from Yukinori Matsui. While Kazashiro got some moments to try and win, Mizuki beat her clean with the Cutie Special. Mizuki said she was happy with the match and how Kazashiro put out everything she had against her. Kazashiro is starting to feel like she is lagging behind the other wrestlers from her generation. She wants to get stronger in her own way so that one day she can win a championship.

Nakajima was chosen to be Uta Takami’s opponent in the LEVEL UP TRIAL. Nakajima kept Takami held in Wrist Locks and purposely wrestled her with one hand behind her back for part of the match. She then put Takami in the Paradise Lock and tried to stomp on her as she rolled away. Takami was able to use that predicament to cradle Nakajima for a nearfall but Nakajima got back in control by pulling her stomach first into the turnbuckle’s steel filling. Takami then tried using the Koala Clutch and some cradles to win but instead Nakajima blocked her and kept her pinned down with a European Clutch. Nakajima said Takami’s strength comes from her unpredictability but she still has a long way to go. Takami said she felt refreshed after the match when usually she is disappointed when she loses. She thinks Nakajima used this match to bring out a side of Takami that even Takami didn’t know existed. It has her more motivated to go win the Next Generation Tournament now.

The LEVEL UP TRIAL was a clean sweep for the veterans over the young generation. Shino Suzuki tried to go blow for blow against Miyu Yamashita and fought to keep her in a Sleeper Hold but it was inevitable that she would fall to the Skull Kick. Yamashita said she always finds Suzuki entertaining and has noticed how serious she looks whenever she wrestles. But the lesson to be learned is even when you try your hardest, things do not always work out the way you want them to. But Yamashita thinks Suzuki has the same guts and spirit that she has along with an incredible desire to win. If she can keep that up then Yamashita believes Suzuki will get stronger and even become a dangerous. Suzuki said she will make the most of what she learned today because she will be challenging for the Princess Tag Titles soon. Then next time she faces Yamashita she will definitely beat her!

One day before Mahiro Kiryu can gloriously return home to Gunma as the Iron Man Heavymetalweight Champion, she had to defend it in a 5 Way match first. Pom Harajuku showed up wearing a full turnbuckle pad over her back and she sat in the corner to disguise herself as a ring post. Not only was it a convincing camouflage, it also meant Harajuku couldn’t be pinned because the turnbuckle pad kept her shoulders off the canvas! Suzume and Kaya Toribami provided the actual wrestling portion of the match going back and forth with each other until Raku found a way to try and pin both at the same time. She then used the same tactic to somehow give all four opponents a Russian Leg Sweep chain at the same time. The ring emptied out to where it was only Kiryu and Harajuku were left. Harajuku took off her turnbuckle pad and tripped Kiryu with it but then tripped over it herself. Kiryu took advantage and jumped on top of her with an Apology style pin to win the match and escape with the belt. Once she was safe and sound, Kiryu knew she can now go home to Gunma tomorrow with peace of mind.

It won’t be until tomorrow when Kira Summer and Chika Nanase face off in a vital Next Generation Tournament match so today they were tag partners instead. Their team up was a successful one as they went on to beat Mifu Ashida & Ren Konatsu. The two shook hands in preparation for tomorrow’s match and left the ring side by side together.

It was announced that TJPW will be holding an extra show at Korakuen Hall on 7th December. The event is a special collaboration with the idol group OCHA NORMA. Many wrestlers in the TJPW locker room are fans of the group while several idols have appeared as special guest commentators at TJPW Korakuen broadcasts in the past. The news also comes out after OCHA NORMA held their first concert at Budokan Hall earlier this week.

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “TJPW AUTUMN VICTORY IN SHINJUKU VOL. 1” Results

October 12, 2025

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “TJPW AUTUMN VICTORY IN SHINJUKU VOL. 1”, 12/10/2025
Shinjuku FACE
312 Fans – No Vacancy

1. Next Generation Tournament ’25 – Losers Bracket: Chika Nanase defeated Ren Konatsu with the Inari Torii Aratame (6:46).
2. Next Generation Tournament ’25 – Winners Bracket: Uta Takami defeated Kira Summer with the Koala Clutch (8:14).
3. HIMAWARI & Shino Suzuki defeated Rika Tatsumi & Mifu Ashida when Suzuki submitted Ashida with the Modified Cobra Clutch (10:41).
-. Iron Man Heavymetalweight Title: International Princess Championship Match Signing Document defeated Mahiro Kiryu (c) by Pinfall (12:05pm).
*International Princess Championship Match Signing Document becomes the 1,775th champion.
4. Miyu Yamashita defeated Mahiro Kiryu by Countout (12:12).
5. Mizuki, Suzume & Yuki Arai defeated Hyper Misao, Raku & Pom Harajuku when Mizuki pinned Harajuku with the Cutie Special (9:55).
6. Shoko Nakajima & Alice Crowley defeated Arisu Endo & Haru Kazashiro when Crowley pinned Kazashiro with a Swinging Side Slam (10:04).
7. Yuki Aino, Yuna Manase & Toga defeated Miu Watanabe, Yuki Kamifuku & Wakana Uehara when Toga pinned Uehara with the Rock Bottom (16:37).

Things aren’t settled yet between Miu Watanabe and Yuki Aino but the main event saw Hot Shot getting one over on Ober Eats instead. Yuna Manase blocked a Double Flapjack to give Yuki Kamifuku & Wakana Uehara a Double Clothesline. Toga was then able to hit Uehara with the Elbow Smash before pinning her with the Rock Bottom. After the match Manase told Toga that she won a match right in the heart of Tokyo Joshi Pro. She also thinks Aino is ready to win the Princess Of Princess Title from Watanabe. Aino agreed and said she couldn’t have asked for a better warm up match. Toga believes the three of them all have the passion to win championships at Korakuen Hall next weekend! It was Kamifuku’s first time wrestling Manase in a while and she said Manase is as big and energetic as ever. Kamifuku tried to be more like Ken Ohka in order to beat her but that plan didn’t work so she is going to file a complaint towards Ganbare☆Pro. Watanabe then asked if Aino’s hot performance today means that “Miuderella’s Castle” has been set on fire? According to her the castle park has a pond in it so she has water needed to extinguish that fire.

Today was Alice Crowley’s first appearance in Japan as part of the build up to her International Princess Title challenge. There was a contract signing at the start of the show and it was apparent just how much taller “Big Al” is than Arisu Endo. The champion decided to stand on a chair to show everyone that she is the bigger Alice. Then later in the show when it was time for their Tag Match, Crowley immediately attacked Endo and they fought each other for most of it. Shoko Nakajima ended up wiping out Endo with a dive while Crowley caught a dive from Haru Kazashiro. Crowley then turned that into a Swinging Side Slam for the three count. She later said the only reason she came to Japan is to take the IP Title from Endo although she does like the welcoming atmosphere of TJPW. Endo also made it clear she doesn’t like being called tiny because she has a big presence!

Mahiro Kiryu was in the fight of her life with the Iron Man Heavymetalweight Title on the line. Miyu Yamashita gave her a one-sided beatdown early that made Kiryu rethink her gameplan. She fled out of the ring twice, once getting thrown back in and the other making Yamashita chase her up to the aisle. Up there Kiryu grabbed the folder containing the contract that Endo and Crowley signed earlier in the show and she hit Yamashita with it. Rise Shirai then tried to grab the folder but Kiryu pulled it away and tripped over Yamashita, landing her back with the folder falling on top of her. Fumirin (who wasn’t the ref for this match) then suddenly appeared to count a pinfall and declare the International Princess Championship Match Signing Document as the new champion! Kiryu and Yamashita then fought over the contract until they were reminded of the 20 count. They both ran back to the ring but only Yamashita made it in time while Kiryu was counted out. Kiryu then tried to pin the contract after the match until Yamashita chased her away.

There were more Iron Man Title changes after the show. Shirai placed her binder on top of the contract and left it alone. Fumirin found it and decided to count the pin, declaring Rise Shirai’s Binder as the new champion! Then even later somebody placed a drink on top of the binder and Fumirin again treated it as a pinfall, declaring the Double Vitamin Drink as the new champion. This then led to a battle of endurance as Kiryu grabbed the bottle and attempted to drink it empty as quickly as she could. She finished the drink without interruption and was rewarded with the Iron Man Title again for her knockout effort.

Things are suddenly looking up for Shino Suzuki! She won her tag match today by whipping out a new Modified Cobra Clutch that made Mifu Ashida submit. After the victory Suzuki told HIMAWARI she wants to support their classmates Uehara and Toga while they fight for the Princess Tag Team Titles at Korakuen next week. However she is also frustrated over feeling left out of the title race so she wants to challenge the winners for the belts with HIMAWARI as her partner! HIMAWARI said she feels the same way and took up Suzuki on her offer. She is happy to see how much confidence Suzuki is showing lately.

We now have our first finalist in the Next Generation Tournament as well as the first full elimination. Uta Takami is on a roll with using the Koala Clutch to win matches with Kira Summer becoming the latest victim to the move. Meanwhile Chika Nanase had her first gasp at survival by beating Ren Konatsu to knock her out of the tournament. This now means Summer and Nanase will face each other again with an elimination on the line while Takami waits for the winner in the final. Takami said she will win the tournament and prove that she is beloved by the gods of pro wrestling. Nanase admits she didn’t expect her rematch with Summer to happen this soon. Konatsu felt like she was able to find her own wrestling style during this tournament even though she lost both of her matches. If the tournament is held again next year she wants to enter it, run through every opponent like a typhoon and win it with style.

DDT Around The World – September 2025

October 1, 2025

The post-summer rest is over and done with. There are two separate stories that Konosuke Takeshita is now travelling through. One in New Japan might see him become the next IWGP World Heavyweight Champion with a reign that can bring him right into the Tokyo Dome. The other is a path leading him towards Kazuchika Okada in AEW that could end with him holding the AEW Unified Title when all is said and done. At least that’s how little old optimistic me is seeing things at the moment. He spent September getting built up for a title shot with Okada and came out of it empty handed.

While that was going on, Tokyo Joshi Pro were making moves towards complete global saturation! They’ve already taken over the women’s division in MLW and have more talent coming over to America in the next couple of weeks. Then after that they move on to take over Malaysia and Thailand with some first time shows taking place in those countries later in the year.

We’re also not done with Maki Itoh yet. She broke her silence after leaving TJPW last month by declaring herself the most cutest unemployed wrestler in the world. She has another tour of America coming up so the next step is to see if she will do anything new with GCW now that she can dedicate herself more over there or if she is just going to continue playing the hits.

Results


AEW “COLLISION”, 06/09/2025
2300 Arena, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, USA

1. Konosuke Takeshita defeated Mark Briscoe with the Raging Fire (17:54).

First up this month was Takeshita taking on Mark Briscoe in the venue most remembered for being the ECW Arena. What came off as a no nonsense singles match ended up being spoiled when MJF unexpectedly ran in to push Briscoe off of the top rope. The appearance was unexpected because MJF was supposedly on his honeymoon at the time. Takeshita appeared not to mind because it gave him the opening to hit Briscoe with the Powerdrive Knee and then pin him with the Raging Fire. However after the match he gave MJF a shove because he actually was annoyed over his interference. Don Callis stepped in before things could heat up and got Takeshita out of the ring before another fight broke out between Briscoe and MJF.


ROH “ROH ON HONORCLUB”, 11/09/2025 (Aired 18/09/2025)
2300 Arena, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, USA

1. Pure Rules Match: Yuka Sakazaki defeated Janai Kai with the Magical Merry-Go-Round (4:42).

We got a Yuka Sakazaki match this month but not the one I thought it was going to be. Her appearance in the ROH Women’s Pure Title Tournament hasn’t taken place yet. Instead she fought Janai Kai in a warm up match using Pure Rules so she can get the hang of them. Although outside of two rope breaks there was nothing different to a normal match. Also Sakazaki walked out to what sounded like a new remix of her entrance song.


AEW “COLLISION”, 11/09/2025 (Aired 13/09/2025)
2300 Arena, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, USA

1. AEW Unified Title Eliminator Match: Konosuke Takeshita defeated Anthony Bowens with the Raging Fire (9:14).

Next up for Takeshita was his participation in a quick tournament that was put together for the AEW Unified Title match at the next AEW PPV. He fought Anthony Bowens with the winner advancing to a 3 Way title match at “ALL OUT”. Bowens badly needed a result to get himself out of a funk he is currently going through. He at a Reverse Hurricanrana from Takeshita and popped back up to give him a Leaping Famouser from behind. But he ultimately fell to the triple combo of Blue Thunder Bomb, Powerdrive Knee and Raging Fire. Takeshita would then reappear later in the episode to point at Okada and send the message that he is after his stablemate’s championship!


MLW “FIGHTLAND”, 13/09/2025
NYTEX Sports Centre, Dallas, Texas, USA

1. MLW Women’s World Featherweight Title: Shoko Nakajima (c) defeated Yuki Kamifuku with the Locomotion Northern Lights Suplex (9:46).
*V3 for Shoko Nakajima.

The working relationship between TJPW and MLW continues to look strong as the joshi side seems to be increasingly filling out the entire women’s division in MLW. It led to a little bit of an ambitious booking to help advance the Kyoraku Kyomei Vs Ober Eats storyline in TJPW. While Shoko Nakajima and Yuki Kamifuku were busy fighting each other over the MLW Women’s World Featherweight Title in America, their partners Hyper Misao and Wakana Uehara were meant to have a singles match together back in Japan on the same day. Sadly an accidental injury to Uehara caused by Misao cancelled plans for the latter from happening. Back in MLW, Kamifuku couldn’t put Nakajima away with her usual signature moves so she went up to the second rope to do the Diving Famouser. Nakajima dodged it and pulled out two successive Northern Lights Suplexes to get the win and retain her championship.


AEW “ALL OUT TORONTO”, 20/09/2025
Scotiabank Arena, Toronto, Ontario, Canada

1. AEW Unified Title: Kazuchika Okada (c) defeated Konosuke Takeshita and Mascara Dorada when Okada pinned Dorada with the Rainmaker (20:55).
*V3 for Kazuchika Okada.

Hey this was a treat! Okada and Takeshita trying to wrestle each other but you throw the new Mascara Dorada from CMLL in there as a wild card to constantly get in the way and you got yourself a heck of a match there. If anything Dorada had something of a breakout performance that stole the spotlight away from the other two. Okada ended up getting away with it in the free for all. Takeshita gave Dorada the Raging Fire but then got hit by Okada’s trademark Dropkick. That sent Takeshita tumbling out of the ring leaving Okada to pick up the pieces and used the Rainmaker on Dorada for the victory.


AEW “DYNAMITE”, 24/09/2025
Petersen Events Center, Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, USA

1. Mark Briscoe, Hologram & Orange Cassidy defeated Kazuchika Okada, Konosuke Takeshita & Hechicero when Hologram pinned Hechicero with the Portal Bomb (10:36).

More cracks were surfacing within The Don Callis Family thanks to the uneasy alliance between Okada and Takeshita. Callis tried to blow it over by revealing his latest work of art to everyone but that was hijacked by the return of Orange Cassidy! Some teamwork from Cassidy & Hologram on Hechicero led to their team getting the win while we end our time this month wondering what is next for this story going on between Okada and Takeshita.


ROH “ROH ON HONORCLUB”, 24/09/2025 (Aired 02/10/2025)
Petersen Events Center, Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, USA

1. Pure Rules Match: Yuka Sakazaki defeated Zoey Lynn with the Magical Merry-Go-Round (4:23).

This one slipped past me. Sakazaki got in another Pure Rules match at the end of the month, this time beating Zoey Lynn. Sakazaki had her back worked over and it still looks like like Pure Rules style doesn’t make a difference in how her matches are laid out. But Sakazaki Super Kicked Lynn’s head off and pinned her with the Magical Merry-Go-Round.

———————————————————————–

Upcoming Appearances


ROH “ROH ON HONORCLUB”, ??/10/2025
???, USA

1. ROH Women’s Pure Title Tournament – Round 1: Serena Deeb Vs Yuka Sakazaki

We had to wait a month for this match to happen? What’s the freaking holdup? Now that I notice it, Sakazaki wrestled this month but Serena Deeb didn’t.


MLW “SLAUGHTERHOUSE”, 04/10/2025
Thunder Studios Arena, Long Beach, California, USA

1. MLW Women’s World Featherweight Title: Shoko Nakajima (c) Vs HIMAWARI

TJPW’s takeover of the MLW women’s division moves even further with Nakajima’s next defence. HIMAWARI is coming back for another MLW appearance and is immediately given a title shot. I think the endgame for Nakajima is to face Shotzi Blackheart but MLW are in no rush to get there.


VIP “SETTING THE BAR 11”, 10/10/2025
The Haltom Theater, Haltom City, Texas, USA

1. VIP Women’s Title – 3 Way Match: Maya World (c) Vs Vert Vixen Vs Kaya Toribami

The Texas tour has left a big mark in TJPW’s future plans for America. They see it as a good hub to hunker down in for a potential overseas expansion. They even see the benefit of creating Texas Joshi Pro Wrestling just because they could still call it TJPW. But this is looking way out into the future so for now they’re just going to plant a seed here and there to test things out. First up is Kaya Toribami heading over to compete on a VIP Wrestling show. She gets to be part of a 3 Way Match with Maya World and Vert Vixen with the VIP Women’s Title on the line.


VGM “FIGHT VGM FIGHT WRESTLING STARS MEET AND GREET & PRO WRESTLING MATCH”, 18/10/2025
Full House, Liangxi, Wuxi, China

1. Rika Tatsumi Vs HIMAWARI

China gets another taste of TJPW when Rika Tatsumi and HIMAWARI face off at the Fight VGM Fight show.


CMLL “VIERNES ESPECTACULAR”, 24/10/2025
Arena Mexico, Mexico City, Distrito Federal, Mexico

1. Grand Prix de Amazonas: Persephone, La Catalina, Olympia, Skadi, Reyna Isis, Zeuxis, India Sioux, Lluvia & La Jarochita Vs Kanji, Diamante, Shoko Nakajima, Hazuki, Koguma, Mina Shirakawa, Skye Blue, Julia Hart & Thekla

Back in 2019 Nakajima got to go on a tour of Mexico with CMLL with stops at Arena Mexico, Arena Coliseo and Arena Puebla. There was even a rare DVD of her lucha matches that TJPW and LADY’S RING put out that is in my collection somewhere. Now six years later she gets to go again but as a representative of MLW rather than TJPW. CMLL are holding the fifth annual Grand Prix de Amazonas torneo cibernetico for their women’s division that pits Mexico against the world. The international team has plenty of Japanese talent on it this year. Nakajima will be joined by Mina Shirakawa plus the FWC pair of Hazuki & Koguma. It would be goofy if politics between Stardom and TJPW somehow came into play here. In reality I think it’s just a coincidence that Nakajima is labelled an MLW wrestler instead of a TJPW one because she has been MLW’s long term champion for this year.


GCW “YOU WOULDN’T UNDERSTAND”, 07/11/2025
The Webster, Hartford, Connecticut, USA

1. Maki Itoh Vs X

The Cutest Unemployed Tour begins! Itoh’s first new booking announcements since leaving TJPW are all gathered around GCW in the month of November.


GCW “MASSACRE IN MAINE”, 08/11/2025
Yarmouth Amvets, Yarmouth, Maine USA

1. Maki Itoh Vs X

She’s going to Connecticut and Maine and Vermont to put them all on the map!


GCW “GREEN MOUNTAINS AND ME”, 09/11/2025
Barre Elks Lodge, Barre, Vermont, USA

1. Maki Itoh Vs X

Got confused for a moment and thought this was the Elks Lodge in New York that ECW used to book.


SETUP/IWA THAILAND “A NEW DAWN”, 14/11/2025
TOKYO SQUARE In Itabashi

1. SETUP All Asia Women’s Title – 3 Way Bangkok Death Match: Matcha (c) Vs Ram Kaichow Vs Pom Harajuku
2. IWA Japan SETUP World Tag Team Titles: Andruew Tang & Jake De Leon (c) Vs Miyu Yamashita & Kaya Toribami Vs Kappa Kozo & Kappa Jr.
3. Double Main Event I – Ace Vs Ace: Shivam Vs HARASHIMA

Big plans are going ahead for SETUP’s first ever show in Japan. They have a double main event planned and HARASHIMA’s in one of them. He is facing Shivam, the leader of Real Global Threat who feels he has ran through all of his competition in Southeast Asia. So now he wants to face the best that Japan has to offer, which is where HARASHIMA steps in.

RGT currently hold the IWA Japan SETUP World Tag Team Titles and will defend them against two very different tag teams. The monster team of Kappa Kozo & Kappa Jr. are returning to their IWA Japan roots while TJPW is sending Miyu Yamashita & Kaya Toribami over to claim some gold as part of their upcoming visit to Thailand.

TJPW is also betting on Pom Harajuku to win back the SETUP All Asia Women’s Title. She’s beaten Matcha for that belt before in a No DQ Match, a result that Matcha would love to correct. Matcha also got her title back from beating Raku which made Raku’s “husband” Ram Kaichow feeling pretty mad when she found out about it. SETUP decided to let these three collide and to make things even more dangerous it is going to be a Bangkok Death Match!

WXW “25TH ANNIVERSARY TOUR”, 22/11/2025

Electric Ballroom, Camden, London, England

1. Miyu Yamashita Vs X

A new place in England for Yamashita to wrestle in. She makes her Progress debut at the end of November.

It’s been long enough, after so many guest appearances over the last few years, now is the time for TJPW to bring the whole thing over to Thailand! They’re working with SETUP to bring a dozen wrestlers over to work alongside several women’s wrestlers from across the Southeast Asian scene.

The twelve TJPW members going over are Miu Watanabe, Yuki Kamifuku, Arisu Endo, Shoko Nakajima, Miyu Yamashita, Raku, Pom Harajuku, Suzume, Yuki Arai, Kaya Toribami, Shino Suzuki and Uta Takami. Also part of the show will be Alexis Lee and Matcha from the SEA side.

LEVEL UP TRIAL, Ueno Vs Suzuki Set For Ryogoku, Urano’s 25th Anniversary

September 30, 2025

BASARA “BASARA 289 ~UTAGE AKA – HIEN~”, 02/10/2025
Shin-Kiba 1st RING

1. 3 Way Match: SAGAT Vs Banana Senga Vs Ryuma Sekimo
2. IRON FIST Tag Tournament – B Block Round 1B: Isami Kodaka & Takumi Tsukamoto Vs Ryuichi Sekine & FUMA
3. IRON FIST Tag Tournament – A Block Round 1A: Trans-Am ★ Hiroshi & Tsutomu Oosugi Vs Ryota Nakatsu & Daichi Kazato
4. IRON FIST Tag Tournament – B Block Round 1A: Daiki Shimomura & Lil’ Kraken Vs Kyu Mogami & Naka Shuma
5. IRON FIST Tag Tournament – A Block Round 1B: Takeru Inoue & Tomoki Hatano Vs Takato Nakano & Masato Kamino

I only noticed now that BASARA originally got the brackets wrong when they posted the 1st Round matches. They should be correct now.

DDT “NARAHA TOWN COME ON! ROJO PRO WRESTLING IN ASAKUSA”, 04/10/2025
Tokyo Asakusa Broadway Shopping Arcade

1. Falls Count Anywhere 3 Way Tag Match: Yuki Ueno & To-y Vs Kazusada Higuchi & Yuki Ishida Vs Kazuma Sumi & Rukiya

It is now three years since To-y became an unofficial immigration ambassador for Naraha Town. He is still in an incredible amount of debt to the area that is nowhere near close to being paid off so he is eager to promote the place as hard as he can which includes getting DDT to hold Falls Count Anywhere matches over there every once in a while. Naraha’s mascot Yuzutaro will be in attendance, partially because he is To-y’s debt collector.

DDT “ECHIGO CHIN CRUSHER”, 05/10/2025
Niigata Higashi Ward Plaza

1. Yukio Naya, Akito & Hinata Kasai Vs Daisuke Sasaki, Hideki Okatani & MJ Paul
2. Yuki Iino & Yuya Koroku Vs HARASHIMA & Kazuki Hirata
3. Yuki Ueno & Kazuma Sumi Vs Chris Brookes & Takeshi Masada
4. Special Tag Match: Jun Akiyama & Daichi Sato Vs Kazusada Higuchi & Yuki Ishida
5. Special Single Match: To-y Vs Ilusion
6. Special Tag Match: Super Sasadango Machine & Danshoku Dieno Vs MAO & KANON (w/ KIMIHIRO)

A rematch between To-y and Ilusion is set for Niigata but this time the DDT Extreme Title is not on the line. It’s only going to be a singles match so there’s no streamer nonsense for either of them to worry about.

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “ADDITIONAL ATTACK ’25”, 18/10/2025
Tokyo Korakuen Hall

1. Special 5 Way Match: Raku Vs Pom Harajuku Vs Mahiro Kiryu Vs Suzume Vs Kaya Toribami
2. Mifu Ashida & Ren Konatsu Vs Kira Summer & Chika Nanase
3. LEVEL UP TRIAL Best Of 3 – Match 1: Shoko Nakajima Vs Uta Takami
4. LEVEL UP TRIAL Best Of 3 – Match 2: Mizuki Vs Haru Kazashiro
5. LEVEL UP TRIAL Best Of 3 – Match 3: Miyu Yamashita Vs Shino Suzuki
6. First One-On-One: Yuki Arai Vs Hyper Misao
7. International Princess Title: Arisu Endo (c) Vs Alice Crowley
8. Princess Tag Team Titles: Yuki Kamifuku & Wakana Uehara (c) Vs Yuna Manase & Toga
9. Princess Of Princess Title: Miu Watanabe (c) Vs Yuki Aino

The next big arena supercard show scheduled for Tokyo Joshi Pro will be over at Sumo Hall in March. The promotion wants its locker room to to start preparing for it straight away so they’ve come up with a “LEVEL UP TRIAL” for three of the lesser experienced wrestlers. Shino Suzuki, Haru Kazashiro and Uta Takami have been tasked with taking on Miyu Yamashita, Mizuki and Shoko Nakajima respectively in three singles matches. The goal of this challenge is for the younger side to win two of them.

The 5 Way Match will have special rules applied but they haven’t been decided on yet. It will like become an Iron Man Heavymetalweight Title match too if Mahiro Kiryu is still the champion on the day of the show.

Rika Tatsumi and HIMAWARI won’t be at the show because they will be wrestling each other over in China that day instead.

DDT “WRESTLING HARVEST ~UNDER THE RED SKY~”, 19/10/2025
Tokyo Korakuen Hall

1. Naomi Yoshimura & Soma Takao Vs Munetatsu Nakamura & Hinata Kasai
2. Jun Akiyama & Tomomitsu Matsunaga Vs Daichi Sato & Rukiya
3. Chris Brookes, Antonio Honda & Takeshi Masada Vs Danshoku Dieno, Super Sasadango Machine & Akito
4. Special Single Match: Shinya Aoki Vs Kazuki Hirata
5. Special 8-Man Tag Match: MAO, KANON, Kazuma Sumi & Kumadori (w/ KIMIHIRO) Vs Daisuke Sasaki, Hideki Okatani, MJ Paul & Ilusion
6. KO-D Tag Team Titles: Yuki Iino & Yukio Naya (c) Vs Kazusada Higuchi & Yuki Ishida
7. KO-D 6-Man Tag Team Titles: Yuki Ueno, To-y & Kaisei Takechi (c) Vs Minoru Suzuki, HARASHIMA & Yuya Koroku

DDT held a press conference today to announce the upcoming title matches involving Yuki Ueno and Minoru Suzuki. Yes there’s more than one because it turns out Ueno’s fun idea for his first KO-D 6-Man Tag Team Titles defence is to nominate Suzuki as one of the challengers! Kaisei Takechi is just as excited by the idea because as a pro wrestler he wants to overcome all kinds of threats no matter how scary they can be. To-y feels like he has no choice but to fight Suzuki too. Suzuki first said he could fight all three champions by himself but Hisaya Imabayashi told him that wouldn’t be possible. Suzuki then asked if he could invite wrestlers like Lance Archer or Chris Jericho to team with him? Imabayashi couldn’t find an answer but Suzuki understood that would be too difficult to set up on short notice. Imabayashi decided he will choose who Suzuki will team up with, eventually picking HARASHIMA & Yuya Koroku to be on Suzuki’s team.

DDT “ULTIMATE PARTY 2025”, 03/11/2025
Tokyo Ryogoku Kokugikan

1. Sanshiro Takagi Return Match – Special Single Match: Sanshiro Takagi Vs Hinata Kasai
2. Special 6-Man Tag Match: Jun Akiyama, Shinya Aoki & Yuya Koroku Vs Tetsuya Endo, HAYATA & Junta Miyawaki
3. DDT Extreme Title – 3 Way Match: To-y (c) Vs Akito Vs Super Sasadango Machine
4. Special Tag Match: KONOSUKE TAKESHITA & Kaisei Takechi Vs X & X
5. Dramatic Dream Match: Zack Sabre Jr. Vs Chris Brookes
6. KO-D Openweight Title & DDT Universal Title: Yuki Ueno (K/c) Vs Minoru Suzuki (U/c)

Double title matches aren’t anything new in pro wrestling lately. In fact they’ve kind of become a bit too common. At least here it will be the first time the KO-D Openweight Title and DDT Universal Title will both be on the line in the same match. This whole thing started with Ueno luring Suzuki to DDT by using the Universal Title only to lose it to him. At the press conference, Suzuki even blamed Ueno for thinking he could beat him with just youth and momentum. He came to DDT to become a dominant champion and now that he sees Ueno with the KO-D Title he is coming to take that too. Ueno admits that this match was always his plan to get revenge on Suzuki. He felt the best way to get the rematch was to win DDT’s most important title and put it on the line against him. With that said, Ueno can’t find it in himself to hate Suzuki. He also said if he loses this match he will never challenge Suzuki again. Suzuki then started pretending he was a reporter for “Weekly Piledriver” and asked Ueno questions about why he wanted this match so badly so Ueno then did the same to him as a “Weekly Sauna Kamiina” reporter. Eventually the two almost got into a fight over the belts and had to be seperated.

“YASU URANO 25TH ANNIVERSARY BOX OFFICE”, 16/11/2025
Shin-Kiba 1st RING

1. Yasu Urano Vs Trans-Am ★ Hiroshi

We’ve had twenty five years of the bandana boy Yasu Urano bouncing around the Japanese indies. DDT was his home for a lot of that period but he’s been a freelancer for a long time now with BASARA being one of his regular spots. Urano is putting together his own show to celebrate his anniversary but BASARA have been promoting it pretty strongly so for all intents and purposes I’m lumping the show in the BASARA category on this site.

Urano has picked Trans-Am ★ Hiroshi to be his opponent but several other wrestlers have already been booked for the show. They are Minoru Fujita, HARASHIMA, Toru Owashi, Antonio Honda, Daisuke Sasaki and Fuminori Abe with more to come.

6. Yuki Kamifuku & Wakana Uehara Vs Mizuki & Pom Harajuku
7. Miu Watanabe & Shino Suzuki Vs Yuki Aino & Haru Kazashiro

The next challengers for the Princess Tag Team Titles get a warm up match. It’s a chance for Yuna Manase & Toga to fine tune their gameplan and their opponents Kyoto Tag are a pretty new team as well.

Both Shoko Nakajima and HIMAWARI will be absent from the show because they will be wrestling each other in America for MLW that weekend. The MLW Women’s World Featherweight Title will be on the line too.

The Next Generation Tournament begins with the opening round. Losing here won’t eliminate anyone but it’s going to send those people down a harder path to reach the final.

GANBARE☆PRO “BAD LIEUTENANT 2025”, 13/10/2025
Tokyo Takashimadaira Kumin Center

1. Spirit Of Ganbare World Openweight Title: Masaaki Mochizuki (c) Vs Shuichiro Katsumura

After a brief delay over who should become No. 1 Contender, Shuichiro Katsumura gets his chance to win the Spirit Of Ganbare World Title for a second time. He will be waiting for Masaaki Mochizuki to come meet him at Takashimadaira.

FREEDOMS/GANBARE☆PRO “SHINKIBA NO JIN”, 16/10/2025
Shin-Kiba 1st RING

1. Dragon Libre & Reiya Igarashi Vs Shota Kawakami & Sentaro Motoshima
2. GENTARO Vs Shuichiro Katsumura
3. Violento Jack Vs Munetatsu Nakamura
4. Mammoth Sasaki, Daisuke Masaoka & Kenji Fukimoto Vs Keisuke Ishii, Takuya Wada & YuuRI
5. Takashi Sasaki & Toru Sugiura Vs Yumehito Imanari & Yuna Manase
6. Death Match: Jun Kasai & Tomoya Hirata Vs Ken Ohka & Mizuki Watase

This is going to be fun. The rivalry between FREEDOMS and Ganbare☆Pro is now moving towards a full blown Battle Of Shin-Kiba! An entire show of FREEDOMS Vs GanPro matches will take place with one side of the arena being filled with FREEDOMS fans and the other being filled with GanPro fans. The scenario throws Ken Ohka & Mizuki Watase back into Death Match wrestling as the two will fight Jun Kasai & Tomoya Hirata with the weapon choices currently to be determined. Yuna Manase and YuuRI also get what they were promised by being put in matches against some of FREEDOMS’ hard hitters.

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “ADDITIONAL ATTACK ’25”, 18/10/2025
Tokyo Korakuen Hall

1. International Princess Title: Arisu Endo (c) Vs Alice Crowley
2. Princess Tag Team Titles: Yuki Kamifuku & Wakana Uehara (c) Vs Yuna Manase & Toga
3. Princess Of Princess Title: Miu Watanabe (c) Vs Yuki Aino

It’s an all Alice showdown for Arisu Endo’s first defence of the International Princess Title! Her challenger is a young American wrestler by the name of Alice Crowley. While she has made one or two appearances in many independents across the USA, you will usually find her in Juggalo Championship Wrestling or OVW. She used to wrestle a lot in IWA Mid South too. “Big Al” as she is nicknamed also competed in the infamous Power Slap contest earlier this year. As part of her title shot, Crowley will also be wrestling on the 12th and 19th October Tokyo Joshi Pro shows.

DDT “WRESTLING HARVEST ~UNDER THE RED SKY~”, 19/10/2025
Tokyo Korakuen Hall

1. KO-D Tag Team Titles: Yuki Iino & Yukio Naya (c) Vs Kazusada Higuchi & Yuki Ishida

Let’s see if some Dosukoi spirit can take a tag team up past The Apex. The Harimao pair of Kazusada Higuchi & Yuki Ishida have stepped up to become the next challengers for the KO-D Tag Team Titles. For Higuchi it is a chance to win another championship so soon after losing the KO-D Openweight Title. Meanwhile Ishida has been picking up momentum, mostly from beating other wrestlers from the D GENERATION. Knocking down either Yuki Iino & Yukio Naya with the Flame Palm on route to a championship win will be a massive accomplishment for the little sumo.

DDT “ULTIMATE PARTY 2025”, 03/11/2025
Tokyo Ryogoku Kokugikan

1. Sanshiro Takagi Return Match – Special Single Match: Sanshiro Takagi Vs Hinata Kasai
2. Special 6-Man Tag Match: Jun Akiyama, Shinya Aoki & Yuya Koroku Vs Tetsuya Endo, HAYATA & Junta Miyawaki
3. DDT Extreme Title: To-y (c) Vs Akito
4. Special Tag Match: KONOSUKE TAKESHITA & Kaisei Takechi Vs X & X
5. Dramatic Dream Match: Zack Sabre Jr. Vs Chris Brookes

The N1 Victory is now over and done with so the next big event on Tetsuya Endo’s calendar is his one night return to DDT. He’s bringing some NOAH friends with him because HAYATA & Junta Miyawaki are coming along too. I think this will actually be Miyawaki’s first time teaming with Endo. They were opponents for all of the previous times in NOAH I could find. The opposition has a lot of BURNING in it because both Jun Akiyama & Yuya Koroku are there. Shinya Aoki fills up the remaining space.

9. Princess Of Princess Title: Miu Watanabe defeated Mizuki (c) with the Spinning Tear Drop (22:58).
*Mizuki fails in V4. Miu Watanabe becomes the 16th Princess Of Princess Champion!

It took nine months but Miu Watanabe has regained her spot in Tokyo Joshi Pro as the Princess Of Princess Champion! She was warned by Mizuki not to mess with her and the champ tried to break down Watanabe with big moves like the Cutie Special, the Diving Foot Stomp and the Face Lock. Watanabe’s power became an effective counter through the use of Power Slams and the Giant Swing. She also carried Mizuki up to the top rope so she could Avalanche Power Slam her right back down to the canvas. Mizuki got a nearfall with the Whirling Candy and tried going for the Cutie Special. But Watanabe countered it into a High Angle Tear Drop and then out-grappled her into do a spinning version of the Tear Drop for the victory.

After the match Watanabe said this was her second title match with Mizuki this year and it feels like she’s had her all to herself. There is no other princess like Mizuki because she is kind and considerate so Watanabe is happy to win the belt that Mizuki made shine so brightly. Now as the summer is about to end, Watanabe will make sure the Princess Title will shine even brighter! After she said that, Yuki Aino entered the ring and said the match that just happened was too amazing. She used to consider herself as Watanabe’s rival because they both debuted in the same year but before she knew it Watanabe has gone way ahead of her. Aino wants to have a passionate title match with the new champion to prove her worth. Watanabe said they haven’t fought each other much lately so she would like to see Aino being passionate in the ring up close in person. She accepted the challenge and the match will take place at Korakuen Hall on 18th October. Watanabe can become the Summer princess and Autumn princess all she wants because all Aino is aiming for is to become champion! When Aino left the ring, Watanabe told the fans she will make TJPW become the biggest dreamland in the world!

The Princess Tag Team Titles were on the line in a rematch from Las Vegas but Hyper Misao predicted the outcome would be the same. She then asked Wakana Uehara if she is ok to wrestle after losing a few teeth recently. Uehara defiantly told her she can fight and proved it by pulling out a hamburger and taking a bite out of it! She even decided to bite Shoko Nakajima in the arm later in the match! Kyoraku Kyomei had to go back to their other usual tricks like Misao spraying the other team or crashing her Hypami Mobile into Mahiro Kiryu at ringside. However Yuki Kamifuku proved to be the difference maker. She prevented Nakajima from doing the Locomotion Northern Lights Suplex and instead cut her down with the Diving Famouser to win the match.

Backstage Kamifuku talked about how much she hates competing in important matches like title bouts and tournament finals because they are such hard work. But she didn’t want to let Uehara down and summoned a rebellious spirit to win and look cool towards her partner. She also explained that despite being a regular for TJPW all this time, she’s really been a freelancer wrestling for the company through an entertainment agency. She doesn’t know if she needs to speak to Sanshiro Takagi or Tetsuya Koda about this but now that she’s won a second TJPW championship it is time for her to become a full time member of the company! Uehara said if it wasn’t for Kamifuku, she would have broken down after her injury and wouldn’t be here as a champion right now. Kyoraku Kyomei were hoping to hold the Tag Titles long enough for their annual singles match on 4th January next year. They didn’t underestimate Ober Eats but they admit they fought a version of them they’ve never seen before. Nakajima & Misao lost today so they’ll go become even stronger in ways the other team have never seen before!

Arisu Endo’s smile has grown a little bit wider because she has won the International Princess Title! The vacant belt was up for grabs with Endo having to face Priscilla Kelly instead of her originally opponent Jada Stone. Kelly tried to throw Endo off her game early then switched to being more aggressive as the match went on. Endo wore her down with a Sleeper Hold and a Camel Clutch, keeping her grip on her submission even after Kelly tried to slam her way out of it. Kelly used her own skills with a counter attack that included a Sliding German Suplex and also a Dragon Suplex. But Endo fought her way back with a Thrust Kick that set up the match winning Ju no Okite. Endo joked about how heavy it feels to hold the belt. She is overjoyed that for the first time in her life she won something all by herself. With this belt she hopes to go visit many fun places where she can eat delicious food. Her summer has been scorching hot and she wants it to get even hotter like up to trillions of billions of degrees!

Aino earned her claim for a Princess Title shot by joining the short list of people in TJPW to ever have made Miyu Yamashita submit! Yamashita thought Ryo Mizunami was going to be the big target to break down so she and Kaya Toribami focused their efforts against her. Aino didn’t want to be left out though and made sure to go after Yamashita when Mizunami broke through the other team. Aino dodged Yamashita’s kicks and dropped her backwards with the Venus DDT. Then from there she applied the Full Nelson Of Love And Fire. Mizunami did her best to hold Toribami back and Yamashita had no option but to give up. Backstage Mizunami called Aino amazing for achieving that result with the fire she brought out today. Aino asked her to come back to TJPW again so Yukiniki can team more often. Toribami said she was sure her team would win because she thought she had great chemistry with Yamashita. The two of them also want to keep teaming together so they can get stronger next time.

It was Hiroyo Matsumoto’s first appearance in TJPW and she wasn’t interested in shaking hands with her opponents. Although she did quip out some greetings to Haru Kazashiro & Toga while she was wrestling them. When she wasn’t “making friends” she was aiding Yuki Arai in controlling the match. She grabbed Toga to seperate her from Kazashiro, giving Arai the space to hit her finisher and win. Matsumoto said she couldn’t afford to lose since her team had a master-disciple dynamic. She also wants Arai to tell her all about TJPW, like if Kazashiro & Toga felt scared fighting her? Arai calls Matsumoto the foundation that helped give birth to her wrestling career. She also remembers the two moves Matsumoto taught her for Tofu Pro Wrestling were the Heel Drop and the Back Elbow. She admitted she forgot to do the Back Elbow back then which made Milano Collection A.T. made at Matsumoto. But Arai remembered to do it today! Matsumoto thinks the move should now be named The Back Elbow Dedicated To Milano. As for Kazashiro & Toga, they are feeling completely defeated by fighting and outsider like Matsumoto. But they think it will make them mentally stronger so if she ever returns they will be more ready to stand against her again.

A few small flags were placed in opposite corners for the Flag Scramble Death Match. Rika Tatsumi and Pom Harajuku were tasked with grabbing the other’s flag in order to use a weapon. Tatsumi got one first and after Harjuku chased after her, the weapon was revealed to be a bag of 100 colorful plastic balls. Harajuku scattered the balls everywhere and threw them one by one at her opponent. Tatsumi then grabbed the other flag and the weapon turned out to be a large folding fan. She used it at first but then decided she can win without using any. Harajuku then grabbed a flag and received two mega penlights to use against Tatsumi’s fan. The final flag was captured by Tatsumi which allowed her to use the GM Tetsuya Koda as a weapon! He was relunctantly dragged into the ring and thrown at Harajuku. Tatsumi then jumped off the top rope with the folding fan but hit Koda over the head with it by mistake. Tatsumi grabbed the penlight and charged Harajuku only to get rolled up and pinned for the three count. Harajuku wondered what would happen today but since it was a death match with toys in it she knew she would win because she’s a three year old and toys are for babies! She then pointed out the weapons Tatsumi chose were not toys at all so she was actually lucky to win. Tatsumi couldn’t believe she lost to Harajuku and called it the biggest stain on her life. She blames Koda for this!

HIMAWARI decided to rely on her best weapon to try and beat Aja Kong. That weapon is her long hair braids which she explained she is allowed to use because they are part of her body. But when she charged in to whip them around, Kong held her at a distance by her head and then knocked her down with a slap. Kong then tortured HIMAWARI by pulling at her hair, claiming that she isn’t breaking any rules because she is simply grabbing a part of HIMAWARI’s body. Kong continued to use that loophole by claiming her steel can is a part of her body so she can hit HIMAWARI with it as much as she wants! HIMAWARI tried her best to block the attack but eventually took a blow to the head from it. When Kong went for the Back Drop, HIMAWARI fought her off by using Hair Whips but made the mistake of trying to lift her up for the Princess Drop. Instead Kong gave her a Lariat for a nearfall and then the Back Drop to get the win. She gave HIMAWARI some words of encouragement after the match. Backstage she described how dangerous HIMAWARI’s hair is by comparing it to Acrobatic Silky from Dandadan. She warns the next time they fight she will have to cut it off her head! Meanwhile HIMAWARI is threatening to smash the steel can to bits with her hair!

We have entered into a new era of the Iron Man Heavymetalweight Title. Behold the era of Mahironman! Pokotan entered the Battle Royal first as the defending champion but already suffered a bad omen when the mascot’s head fell off. Then during the match Chika Nanase knocked the head off again causing the faceless mascot to briefly transform into Keiju Muto and pin her with the Shining Wizard. Raku entered the match armed with a pillow and formed a very brief alliance with Pokotan before betraying him. Ram Kaichow then entered the match thinking Pokotan was actually Raku inside the costume. So when the real Raku saw them hugging and dancing together, she attacked both of them with the pillow and pinned Pokotan. However since the pillow was directly on top of Pokotan during the pin, Daisuke Kiso declared Raku’s Pillow was now the champion! The Pillow also eliminated Shino Suzuki when Kira Summer gave her the Samoan Drop with the pillow in between them. Raku eliminated Summer and then patched things up with Kaichow to knock Mifu Ashida out of the ring while Mahiro Kiryu was confused by all of the pillow spots. Kiryu ended up getting Raku to accidentally eliminated Kaichow and then gave her the Spinebuster on top of the pillow for the three count. Kiso ended the match there because he counted the pin on both Raku and the pillow, making Kiryu the new champion! Kiryu would like to welcome all challengers to come fight her for the title but she is feeling tired at the moment and requests to get some rest first. Then when she’s ready people can come challenge her in moderation.

The opening match was filled with kindred spirits in multiple pairings. Suzume was teaming with Ren Konatsu who she inspired to become a pro wrestler. Mei Suruga came over from ChocoPro to team up with Uta Takami and the two of them are as close as sisters given how similar they behave. Plus Suzume and Suruga being in the ring again gave fans a Meibee Surprise reunion. But those two ended up cancelling each other out, leaving Konatsu to duke it out against Konatsu. Suzume made it back in to cut off the Koala Clutch only for Suruga to take her out with a Diving Cross Body. Takami went back to Konatsu with a short range Dropkick before applying the Koala Clutch again, getting the submission win. Takami said her wish came true because she wanted to win with Suruga in Ota Ward. Suruga wished it would have happened under better circumstances since both her and Suzume were recently champions at the same time but they both no longer have any. But she sees how Suzume is looking forward so she will do the same and hopefully some day it will lead them to having a singles match against each other.

Three new trainees were introduced to the fans at the start of the show. They are currently named Shion, Anri and Yuka. All three are currently training with the goal of eventually making their pro debuts.

The first ever TJPW event in Thailand will take place on 13th December! “TJPW LIVE IN BANGKOK” is being held in The Circus Studio with help from SETUP Thailand. Around 10 TJPW wrestlers will be on the show along with wrestlers from the Southeast Asian scene. Pumi Boonyatud the owner of SETUP was in attendance to announce the news.

The next big arena show for TJPW will be happening on 29th March, 2026. It will be “GRAND PRINCESS ’26” and the venue for it is Sumo Hall! By the time it takes place it will be just under two years since TJPW’s previous show in the building.

New merchandise was revealed for TJPW’s collaboration with Katamari Damacy. As part of the campaign, Mizuki and Suzume will attend next weekend’s Tokyo Games Show for an autograph session.

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “WRESTLE PRINCESS VI” Preview

September 19, 2025

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “WRESTLE PRINCESS VI”, 20/09/2025
Tokyo Ota Ward Gymnasium

1. Suzume & Ren Konatsu Vs Mei Suruga & Uta Takami
2. Iron Man Heavymetalweight Title – Staggered Entry Battle Royal: Pokotan (c) Vs Raku Vs Mahiro Kiryu Vs Shino Suzuki Vs Mifu Ashida Vs Kira Summer Vs Chika Nanase Vs Ram Kaichow
3. Aja Kong Vs HIMAWARI
4. Flag Scramble Weapon Death Match: Rika Tatsumi Vs Pom Harajuku
5. Hiroyo Matsumoto & Yuki Arai Vs Haru Kazashiro & Toga
6. Miyu Yamashita & Kaya Toribami Vs Ryo Mizunami & Yuki Aino
7. International Princess Title Match: Arisu Endo Vs Priscilla Kelly
8. Princess Tag Team Titles: Shoko Nakajima & Hyper Misao (c) Vs Yuki Kamifuku & Wakana Uehara
9. Princess Of Princess Title: Mizuki (c) Vs Miu Watanabe

Act III begins. Tokyo Joshi Pro’s year long trilogy of major shows held at Ota Ward Gymnasium ends with the sixth annual “WRESTLE PRINCESS” show. And to be honest it’s really just the main event that’s doing a the heavy lifting here. That might end up becoming the payoff of a nine month lone storyline while so much of the rest of the card doesn’t have much to talk about when it comes to the last few months of shows. What it lacks in build it instead makes up for with wrestler relationships past and present. Most of the guests have some sort of association with the wrestlers they will be in the ring with. An injury on short notice also caused a couple of changes the card including one of the championship matches.


1. Suzume & Ren Konatsu Vs Mei Suruga & Uta Takami

The show kicks off with a tag match filled with kindred spirits. Suzume was the inspiration for Ren Konatsu to become a wrestler and it didn’t take long after her debut for the two of them to team up. Meanwhile the two sisters from other misters have found each other again. Mei Suruga & Uta Takami are back together to show that apples and ice cream are for everybody. These four have enough energy by themselves to keep the venue’s power in check for the rest of the show.


2. Iron Man Heavymetalweight Title – Staggered Entry Battle Royal: Pokotan (c) Vs Raku Vs Mahiro Kiryu Vs Shino Suzuki Vs Mifu Ashida Vs Kira Summer Vs Chika Nanase Vs Ram Kaichow

I might be wrong but ever since the Iron Man Heavymetalweight Title got its new belt it feels like the championship has spent more time out of DDT than in it. It’s been hovering near TJPW for over a month now and they seem to like holding the Battle Royal on their undercard. The DDT mascot Pokotan is currently the champion and must fight off seven opponents to survive another day. Not a lot has changed with the usual crew of opponents getting involved. Mahiro Kiryu is still apologetic, Shino Suzuki has her Up Up Girls duties, Mifu Ashida really likes using the Y-Shaped Guillotine in her matches, Kira Summer got to wrestle in Malaysia recently and Chika Nanase is adapting to more of a gal style for her appearance. The wild card is Ram Kaichow. Just like last time she is a late entry to the match and TJPW is anticipating she will pull off a plan to win the championship before the match even starts again. I assume Raku will be glad to help her with that once more.


3. Aja Kong Vs HIMAWARI

I have worked out one realistic way for HIMAWARI to win this match. She will have a chance if she can travel back in time to 1987 so she can claim seniority over a rookie Aja Kong and therefore win via the senpai-kohai pattern of Japanese wrestling booking. Otherwise she’s boned. Those hair whips are not going to do a thing against Kong’s steel can. Even when Kong is having a good day she will still whack someone over the head with one of those things.


4. Flag Scramble Weapon Death Match: Rika Tatsumi Vs Pom Harajuku

Okay this was not in the plans at all. Rika Tatsumi’s original match got pulled because her opponent was bumped up to one of the title matches so instead of fighting the woman who licked her face that one time seven years ago, she now has to babysit Pom Harajuku. It’s bad enough trying to chase Harajuku around but she also usually finds ways to try and trap Tatsumi out of venues so she can almost win by countout. That might not happen here because special rules are being applied to make up for the match change.

Both wrestlers will start the match with a flag in their corner of the ring. If you steal your opponent’s flag you will be allowed to choose one of two pre-determined weapons to use for the rest of the match. What these weapons will be we just have to wait and see. It’s just two weapons though so it will only take both flags being captured for both weapons to come into play. Will Tatsumi bring her sasumata pole back? Can Harajuku wheel in a gacha machine again like she did in Texas? Is Yukinori Matsui going to be the ref so he has to deal with this silliness with that tired look on his face?


5. Hiroyo Matsumoto & Yuki Arai Vs Haru Kazashiro & Toga

Welcome “Lady Destroyer” to TJPW! Hiroyo Matsumoto goes way back with Yuki Arai by being one of her coaches for Tofu Pro Wrestling from 2018. It gives Arai something to bounce back from after losing in the main event of her previous Ota Ward appearance. The young team of Haru Kazashiro & Toga have been chosen to be their opponents. Toga is excited to fight Matsumoto head on and is even confident she can knock her down with her Elbow Strike. Although her new friend Yuna Manase warned Toga she better go all out to stand a chance against Matsumoto.


6. Miyu Yamashita & Kaya Toribami Vs Ryo Mizunami & Yuki Aino

It’s a Yukiniki reunion! None of Ryo Mizunami’s previous visits to TJPW this year had anything to do with Yuki Aino so it’s nice to finally see them back together after being apart for this long. The highlight of Aino’s year so far was becoming the main character of the third annual “HYPE!” show (and its director’s cut) which again begs the question, has she finally figured out how to take the next step up the card yet? Maybe it’s for the best that Yukiniki stick together because Aino’s best work is as a tag wrestler.

Their opponents aren’t much of a solid team yet but maybe there’s something to be found with this pairing. Miyu Yamashita might be heading into a new stage of her career as TJPW’s first “Leader” of the locker room. She’s out of the title picture and no longer has Maki Itoh to work off of in the company. However she sees potential in Kaya Toribami and wants to see for herself what the masked woman can unleash in the ring. Toribami is getting more confident which is also opening up more opportunities for her. Like getting slapped in the chest by Mizunami a lot. Gotta fly through that fire eventually, bird.


7. International Princess Title Match: Arisu Endo Vs Priscilla Kelly

Can we get Poison Sawada JULIE to take a look at the International Princess Title belt because this championship is back to being cursed again. In a sad turn of events, Moka Miyamoto’s title reign couldn’t even get out of the starting blocks because as soon as she won it at “SUMMER SUN PRINCESS ’25” she then fell ill and had to take time off for treatment. When it became clear that whatever it is she’s been dealing with was keeping her out of action for the long term, the title was vacated. A new champion will have to be crowned at Ota Ward.

I though TJPW’s two choices for the title match was a good piece of booking. On one side was Arisu Endo who is in the middle of a breakout run that included reaching the final of this year’s Tokyo Princess Cup. She is also the tag team partner of the previous champion Suzume. Endo’s opponent would be Jada Stone, the American who fought Suzume in a neat two match series over the title during the year but couldn’t win the belt in either match. That’s an intriguing pairing to me. Then earlier this week Stone posted the bad news that she suffered a knee injury and had to cancel her next tour of Japan to go get an MRI scan.

So plans for the IP Title had to change again. Endo is still in the match and now her opponent is going to be Priscilla Kelly. It’s been over seven years since Kelly had her couple of tours with TJPW. Endo wasn’t around for that so I hope those who were have given her fair warning of what to expect. WWE didn’t change her that much when she was Gigi Dolin over there. Kelly is also starting to build up her own little collection of championships on the American indies. She hasn’t been shy about taking pictures of herself about to lick the belts in victory. Will this be the next fate for the IP Title?


8. Princess Tag Team Titles: Shoko Nakajima & Hyper Misao (c) Vs Yuki Kamifuku & Wakana Uehara

Terry Funk ain’t wear no mouthpiece and neither does Wakana Uehara.

The last time Kyoraku Kyomei defended the Princess Tag Team Titles against Ober Eats was in Las Vegas back in April. At the time Yuki Kamifuku & Wakana Uehara had only just begun teaming and couldn’t match the many years of chemistry that only a kaiju and a superhero could produce together. Shoko Nakajima in particular is having a heck of a year. Not only is she keeping up to her usual level on TJPW shows, she also went and took over MLW’s women’s division in America. To help build up to this match, Nakajima even defended the MLW Women’s World Featherweight Title against Kamifuku in Texas just last week. Her message going into this match is loud and clear. You won’t win if you can’t bite like a kaiju!

An injury robbed us of a clever match buildup because while Nakajima and Kamifuku were fighting over a championship in America, TJPW was going to have Hyper Misao face Wakana Uehara on the same day back in Japan. The booking made sense given that Ober Eats earned their rematch thanks to Uehara pinning Misao in an 8-Woman Tag involving the two teams. It felt like a kick in the teeth when the singles match had to be pulled because that’s exactly what happened. Misao accidentally knocked out one of Uehara’s front teeth with a Kingslayer Jumping Knee Strike during a match. Uehara hadn’t wrestled since and has been using the time off to charge herself up for the title bout in between her visits to the dentist.

This is where TJPW is different from a lot of other pro wrestling companies. Normally an injury like this is ripe to build up heat and maybe even lead to a revenge angle at the end of the match as a payoff. But TJPW is not that kind of wrestling promotion. As Misao explained with a tweet after the match, inflicting injuries is not a badge of honour here. This also isn’t the place to where wrestlers are motivated to take an eye for an eye (or a tooth for a tooth). With that being said I bet it will feel pretty sweet for Uehara if she can pin Misao with a Jackknife Pin for the three count again, this time to win the tag titles. It’s a pair of belts that have evaded Kamifuku for as long as both have existed in wrestling.


9. Princess Of Princess Title: Mizuki (c) Vs Miu Watanabe

Something that TJPW’s 2025 should be remembered for is the story arc of Mizuki Vs Miu Watanabe. It’s been a tale of princesses and monsters often with the roles being merged together. When the year began, Watanabe was the Princess Of Princess Champion who became so dominant that she was accused of becoming the kind of monster she had to beat to win the prize in the first place. Then on 4th January Mizuki entered the story as the hero slaying the “Monster” to win the title as the true “Princess” she is. As the months progressed, Mizuki held onto the belt with two title defences in Ota Ward along with a successful defence in Las Vegas inbetween. She can make it a hat trick of Ota Ward title defences that can turn this reign into the most defining singles run of her career.

While all of that was going on for the rabbit, the monster had to lick her wounds and go find the princess she knew was inside of her. That journey of discovery took place over the summer where Watanabe won the Tokyo Princess Cup, a tournament that slipped through her fingers three years earlier. With that hole in her heart finally patched up, Watanabe found her glow up and is now ready to have the title rematch with Mizuki. Some hints have been dropped along the way from Mizuki noticing her opponent becoming more Cinderella-like to Watanabe literally tripping out of her shoe and leaving it behind while she was exiting an interview. Just like how some bedtime stories go, it will take a magical Tear Drop to turn the monster into a princess so she can live happily ever after. Hang on, isn’t Mizuki supposed to be the princess in this story? She’s not going to give up that cushy gig without a fight!

Wrestle Princess VI Press Conference

September 11, 2025

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “WRESTLE PRINCESS VI”, 20/09/2025
Tokyo Ota Ward Gymnasium

1. Suzume & Ren Konatsu Vs Mei Suruga & Uta Takami
2. Iron Man Heavymetalweight Title – Staggered Entry Battle Royal: Pokotan (c) Vs Raku Vs Pom Harajuku V Mahiro Kiryu Vs Shino Suzuki Vs Mifu Ashida Vs Kira Summer Vs Chika Nanase
3. Aja Kong Vs HIMAWARI
4. Rika Tatsumi Vs Priscilla Kelly
5. Hiroyo Matsumoto & Yuki Arai Vs Haru Kazashiro & Toga
6. Miyu Yamashita & Kaya Toribami Vs Ryo Mizunami & Yuki Aino
7. International Princess Title Match: Arisu Endo Vs Jada Stone
8. Princess Tag Team Titles: Shoko Nakajima & Hyper Misao (c) Vs Yuki Kamifuku & Wakana Uehara
9. Princess Of Princess Title: Mizuki (c) Vs Miu Watanabe

Earlier today a press conference was held at Abema Towers in Shibuya to promote the three title matches happening at “WRESTLE PRINCESS VI”. For the Princess Of Princess Title match Miu Watanabe told her story of being the champion until 4th January this year when Mizuki beat her for it. Now eight months later she gets the chance to take the title back from her. During those eight months she’s been waiting to take the lead of Tokyo Joshi Pro again and tell everyone she is a princess. She respects Mizuki as a princess because you won’t find anyone as kind, strong, beautiful and gentle as her. She is a pro princess! But princesses are always looking for their true love and true love for “Miu Cinderella” is the Princess Title!

Mizuki admits to being incredible scared of having to fight Watanabe again but she is also excited by it. It will also be Mizuki’s third title defence in Ota Ward Gymnasium. She credits her previous challengers Miyu Yamashita, Rika Tatsumi and Yuki Arai for putting her in this position because she couldn’t have accomplished this alone. She is curious to see where the story of Miu Cinderella will go but she wants to continue telling her own story as the pro princess too. Watanabe then joked that Mizuki is always talking to birds behind the scenes because princesses are friends to animals.

Ober Eats have their motivations for becoming the Princess Tag Team Champions. Even though Wakana Uehara lost some teeth from wrestling Hyper Misao last weekend, she is using the recovery time to recharge so her mental strength will be incredibly strong for the title match. She promised to make up for it by taking the belts from Kyoraku Kyomei! Her partner Yuki Kamifuku said the tag titles were created shortly after she debuted but she was never able to win them. She thinks her vibe is different from Uehara’s but she wants to work hard for her so both of them can become champions after failing to win them so many times with other partners.

The champions can tell their opponents have changed since the first title match in Las Vegas. Shoko Nakajima wants them to grow even more before the rematch. She thinks it is fate that she and Kamifuku will be fighting each other in Texas this weekend with the MLW Women’s World Featherweight Title on the line. The height difference between the two is the largest in TJPW and Nakajima thinks there is always something new for them to discover when they wrestle each other. When Kyoraku Kyomei defend the belts again, she is going to ask Kamifuku to become her personal English teacher for a year and also get Uehara to teach her how to eat a lot. Misao is focused on breaking the record for most Princess Tag Title defences currently held by The Magical Sugar Rabbits. There are more challengers appearing over the horizon and she can sense the momentum Ober Eats are on. If there is one thing Misao has learned in her ten years of being a wrestler, it is the thick-skinned ones always win. Nakajima then told Uehara that if she can’t bite a kaiju then she can’t win this match!

The contract for the International Princess Title match has not been fully signed until Jada Stone arrives in Japan. She will sign the contract when she does arrive there. Her opponent Arisu Endo attended the press conference and talked about having the best summer ever because of her performance in the Tokyo Princess Cup. However she was still disappointed because she was the runner up despite working so hard by herself. She is now determined to grab this chance to become the new IP Champion. She praised Stone for her incredible athleticism and power. Endo wants to use her own style without losing any rhythm to beat her. She also feels lucky because it will be her second chance at winning this championship in Ota Ward this year.

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “TJPW AUTUMN VICTORY IN KITAZAWA” Results

September 7, 2025

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “TJPW AUTUMN VICTORY IN KITAZAWA”, 07/09/2025
Tokyo Kitazawa Town Hall
222 Fans – No Vacancy

1. HIMAWARI defeated Ren Konatsu with the Half Crab Hold (7:50).
2. Yuki Aino, Raku & Pom Harajuku defeated Mahiro Kiryu, Kaya Toribami & Mifu Ashida when Raku pinned Ashida with the Doctor Yellow (8:58).
3. Yuki Arai defeated Chika Nanase with the Scorpion Death Lock (6:48).
4. Rika Tatsumi defeated Uta Takami with the Dragon Sleeper (10:11).
5. Suzume & Arisu Endo defeated Haru Kazashiro & Shino Suzuki when Endo pinned Suzuki with the Ju no Okite (9:44).
6. Yuna Manase & Toga defeated Miyu Yamashita & Kira Summer when Toga pinned Summer with the Rock Bottom (10:09).
7. Mizuki, Shoko Nakajima & Hyper Misao defeated Miu Watanabe, Yuki Kamifuku & Wakana Uehara when Misao submitted Uehara with the Chickenwing Face Lock (17:11).

The second show on today’s Kitazawa doubleheader was the more usual Tokyo Joshi Pro affair. With “WRESTLE PRINCESS VI” just under two weeks away it was time for a champions versus challengers 6-Woman Tag Match to headline the show. Mizuki teamed up with Kyoraku Kyomei while Miu Watanabe joined forces with Ober Eats. Before the match began Hyper Misao felt so confident about the champions’ chances of winning that she called her shot and predicted she would take the winning fall from Wakana Uehara. She suffered a setback when Yuki Kamifuku took the spray can from her and sprayed her in the face with it. Things between Mizuki and Watanabe were also more competitive terms with some moments of good sportsmanship coming off like it was an act of passive aggression. The match came down to the two tag teams with Misao clasping the Chickenwing Face Lock onto Uehara. Shoko Nakajima cut off Kamifuku’s rescue by hitting her with the Diving Senton, giving Uehara no option but to give up.

After the match the champion team all talked about defending their titles on 20th September. Misao said she is now even with Uehara after losing to her a few weeks ago and today’s result proves that Uehara’s win was just a fluke. She’ll prove it again at their singles match in Aizuwakamatsu next weekend that Kyoraku Kyomei’s odds of beating Ober Eats are at 99.99999999999％! Nakajima then told Kamifuku that they will be fighting each other in Texas next weekend for the MLW Women’s World Featherweight Title. She admits she’s been having fun wrestling against her lately. Mizuki then acknowledged that Watanabe has become more of a Cinderella recently so when the Princess Of Princess Title is on the line, Mizuki wants to win when Watanabe is in her most sparkling form.

The new team of Yuna Manase & Toga has gotten off to a good start. They’re already some teamwork down and had each other’s backs when Miyu Yamashita & Kira Summer launched a counter attack. Manase put all her trust in Toga when she lifted Summer into a Samoan Drop position and then told Toga to hit her with an Elbow Strike to add more oomph to the move. When Manase used another Samoan Drop to get rid of Yamashita, Toga went and pinned Summer with the Rock Bottom. After the match Toga suggested to Manase backstage that they can go challenge for the Princess Tag Team Titles, then decided they should do it. Manase liked the idea because she always wanted to win that title. She then shouted over to Tetsuya Koda at the other side of the room that they want a title shot. She and Toga will also come up with a team name.

The next “TJPW INPIRATION” show will be held on 19th November and will feature the one night only return of Yuu to Tokyo Joshi Pro! TJPW was her original home promotion when she debuted in 2016 up until she left in 2018. She is planning to retire from pro wrestling on 28th December so part of it includes her “coming home” for the first time in seven years. For her TJPW return she is going to team with Kamifuku to take on Nakajima & Yamashita!

The Up Up Girls (Pro Wrestling) performed their newest song “Love Motto” at the start of the show.
