TOKYO JOSHI PRO “FIRST SPARKLE AT AIOI HALL” Results

February 28, 2026

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “FIRST SPARKLE AT AIOI HALL”, 28/02/2026
Aichi Kariya City Industrial Promotion Center (Aioi Hall)
299 Fans

1. Toga defeated Chika Nanase with a Face Lock (6:16).
2. 3 Way Match: Hyper Misao defeated Uta Takami and Kira Summer when Misao pinned Summer with La Magistral Cradle (8:28).
3. Suzume & Ren Konatsu defeated HIMAWARI & Shion Kanzaki when Konatsu pinned Kanzaki with the Aries Comet (?:??).
4. Mizuki defeated Mahiro Kiryu with the Diving Foot Stomp (9:57).
5. Yuki Kamifuku, Wakana Uehara & Mifu Ashida defeated Rika Tatsumi, Raku & Pom Harajuku when Kamifuku pinned Harajuku with the Famouser (9:04).
6. Miyu Yamashita & Kaya Toribami defeated Shoko Nakajima & Sara Phoenix when Yamashita pinned Phoenix with the Skull Kick (13:13).
7. Miu Watanabe, Yuki Aino & Haru Kazashiro defeated Yuki Arai, Arisu Endo & Shino Suzuki when Watanabe submitted Arai with the Canadian Backbreaker (19:19).

Remember that storyline from a year ago about Miu Watanabe is a monster rather than a princess? Yeah, that monster is slowly crawling out of the abyss as the tension between her and Yuki Arai is growing thicker. Watanabe made Arai submit to the Canadian Backbreaker to win today’s main event and then raised the Princess Of Princess Title belt over her head in victory. Arai tried to strike Watanabe in retaliation but she was easily knocked away and her team had to leave the ring before things escalated. Watanabe changed back to her normal bubbly self to close out the show and mistakenly said “GRAND PRINCESS ’26” was happening on 9th March before correcting herself with the right date of the 29th. Backstage Arai told her team that today’s loss really hurt her and her back is in a lot of pain from taking the Canadian Backbreaker. She’ll have to recover in time for the next warm up match for Sumo Hall.

A falling out almost happened between Rika Tatsumi, Raku & Pom Harajuku over the Iron Man Heavymetalweight Title. Raku & Harajuku wanted to win the title and Tatsumi lost her temper at them. Mifu Ashida urged them with her cheerleading to make up. Yuki Kamifuku went and won the match for her team then spoke with Wakana Uehara backstage about their next Princess Tag Team Titles defence. They are surprised and excited to be facing The IInspiration and want them to learn a list of words for when they come to Japan. “Wabi-sabi, Omotenashi, Ober Eats.” “Sushi, Ramen, Ober Eats.” “Pokémon, Hello Kitty, Ober Eats.” “Tempura, Sukiyakai, Ober Eats.” “Toyota, Nissan, Ober Eats.” “Mochi, Tofu, Ober Eats.”

On this day 11 years ago Hyper Misao had her debut match. She wanted to start things fresh today and asked for her 3 Way Match to be changed into Uta Takami versus Kira Summer in a singles bout with Misao facing the winner. The other two decided against it and attacked her to ensure it stayed every girl for herself.

6. DDT Extreme Title – Soccer Vs Sumo! Mixed Martial Arts “ITACHI” Rules: To-y (c) Vs Yuki Ishida

After spending the week arguing with each other over not picking any DDT Extreme Title rules, To-y and Yuki Ishida have decided on mixing two sports together for the stipulation. The match will be Soccer Vs Sumo where only items relating to either sport are permitted to be used as weapons. Sumo is Yuki Ishida’s sport of course while To-y had a background in playing football before he became a pro wrestler.

DDT “NARAHA TOWN IMMIGRATION AMBASSADOR (UNOFFICIAL) TO-Y THANKSGIVING SEASON 3 – NARAHA TOWN COME ON!!”, 01/03/2026

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “PRELUDE TO GRAND PRINCESS ’26”, 07/03/2026
Shin-Kiba 1st RING

1. 3 Way Match: Rika Tatsumi Vs Mahiro Kiryu Vs Ren Konatsu

6. Miu Watanabe, Toga & Uta Takami Vs Yuki Arai, HIMAWARI & Shino Suzuki

Something to keep an eye on as we continue building up towards Miu Watanabe and Yuki Arai is if there will be more damage done to Watanabe’s lower back. She is well aware of how much Arai is relying on the Scorpion Death Lock as her kill move lately.

GANBARE☆PRO “GIRLFRIEND EXPERIENCE 2026”, 07/03/2026
Shin-Kiba 1st RING

1. Shigehiro Irie Vs Shota Kawakami
2. Yumehito Imanari Vs Sentaro Motoshima
3. YuuRI Vs Shoko Nakajima
4. Spirit Of Ganbare World Openweight Title: Mizuki Watase (c) Vs Takuya Wada

A trial series has been put together by Ganbare☆Pro for its young wrestlers in order to help them step up while Yuna Manase and Munetatsu Nakamura are on the shelf with injuries. Shoko Nakajima has been called in from Tokyo Joshi Pro to give YuuRI a match, Sentaro Motoshima is going to take on GanPro’s former two time champion Yumehito Imanari and Shota Kawakami is going to have to avoid getting crushed by Shigehiro Irie’s Cannonball attacks.

SUPER JAPAN “JUDGEMENT”, 24/03/2026
Shinjuku FACE

1. Special Single Match: Yuji Nagata Vs Fuminori Abe
2. Special Single Match: Shinya Aoki Vs Kazunari Murakami
3. Special Single Match: Sanshiro Takagi Vs Poison Sawada JULIE

It doesn’t matter what alternate timeline we are in, Sanshiro Takagi and Poison Sawada JULIE are still going to feud with each other. They have been enemies in DDT for a long time but it’s been 17 years since their last singles match against each other apparently. Super Japan gets the honour of reviving the matchup.

Super Japan is also pitting their ace Yuji Nagata against Fuminori Abe in a first time singles bout. They’ve already wrestled each other in two of the previous three Super Japan shows.

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “GRAND PRINCESS ’26”, 29/03/2026
Tokyo Ryogoku Kokugikan

1. Mizuki Vs Andreza Giant Panda
2. Special Tag Match: Yuka Sakazaki & KONOSUKE TAKESHITA Vs Hyper Misao & Super Sasadango Machine
3. International Princess Title: MIRAI (c) Vs Suzume
4. Princess Tag Team Titles: Yuki Kamifuku & Wakana Uehara (c) Vs Jessie McKay & Cassie Lee
5. Princess Of Princess Title: Miu Watanabe (c) Vs Yuki Arai

Just when the mystery was getting good, the perpetrator has come out and admitted the crime. The indy wrestling outfit New Nemuro Pro Wrestling sent a video to TJPW taking the credit for stealing Mizuki’s Pico Pico Hammer while leaving behind an American flag as a red herring. New Nemuro’s most famous wrestler Andreza Giant Panda was memorably hit over the head by Mizuki with her hammer back in 2024 in a moment that went viral across the internet due to how photogenic it was. Andreza was left humiliated by what happened and Shin Nemuro felt that their reputation was tarnished over it too. Ever since that moment Andreza had been waiting on an opportunity to get his revenge. Thus Mizuki’s hammer got stolen and Andreza has challenged her to a singles match at Sumo Hall!


TJPW Heading Back To Las Vegas This April

February 25, 2026

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “TJPW LIVE IN LAS VEGAS 2026”, 16/04/2026
Pearl Theater At Palms Casino Resort, Las Vegas, Nevada, USA

After last year’s success in Las Vegas, Tokyo Joshi Pro is going to do it all over again! They are returning to the Pearl Theater inside Palms Casino Resort to hold a big show during Wrestlemania Week.

The wrestlers from TJPW announced to take part in the show are Miu Watanabe, Yuki Kamifuku, Wakana Uehara, Miyu Yamashita, Shoko Nakajima, Mizuki, Hyper Misao, Raku, Yuki Aino, Suzume, Pom Harajuku, Yuki Arai, Kaya Toribami, Shino Suzuki, HIMAWARI, Toga and Uta Takami.

TOKYO JOSHI PRO/MLP/CMLL “TJPW X MLW X CMLL SUPER SHOW”, 17/04/2026
Pearl Theater At Palms Casino Resort, Las Vegas, Nevada, USA

This time around TJPW are not running their show as part of The Collective. Instead they will be part of a new collection of events called Slam Fest that is being put together by the Paragon Talent Agency (remember Mojo Rawley? That’s his gig now). The other promotions involved in the series are CMLL, House Of Glory, Stardom and Maple Leaf Pro. According to the AXS Tickets page linked on the Palm Casino website, TJPW are also running a interpromotional show with CMLL and Maple Leaf Pro. That might be the weirdest combination of three wrestling companies to run an event together in quite some time.

However it was pointed out to me that TJPW are also scheduled to do a free meet and greet around the same time this super show is allegedly taking place. There might be a mix-up over what this event is meant to be.

UPDATE: The website has removed the link and now only refers to the event as a Meet & Greet.

————————————————————————

So it actually is happening! For months now I’ve been going crazy hearing conflicting information over whether or not TJPW was going back to Las Vegas for Wrestlemania Week. The Collective accidentally linked them and DDT to their first announcement of their return to Vegas but quickly removed those links. Then The Collective revealed their lineup with no DDT or TJPW in sight. However a little while later I learned TJPW were still planning on going to Vegas, this time without GCW’s help. Doubts crept in when their other international tours were announced for March and April. Someone reached out to tell me the Texas tour was the only American visit TJPW had for the Springtime. That info was given to me before the Canadian tour was announced but it wasn’t contradictory nor do I think the person was trying to mislead me.

Yet there was still another side talking about TJPW being set for Vegas one way or another. Smoke to that fire started appearing when Toga was booked for Podermania. Miyu Yamashita was being booked for other shows too but she always goes working in America during this time of year. Toga however was out of the blue. Then the two of them along with Shoko Nakajima, Hyper Misao and Yuki Aino were announced for a WrestleCon convention appearance. By that point I knew there would be a show with TJPW attached to it taking place and just had to play the waiting game until it was officially announced. Finally the news came out today!

TJPW moving on from the GCW relationship doesn’t surprise me. I thought last year’s show was a success attendance wise but the big complaint coming out of it I kept hearing was GCW’s production values ruining the vibes for a lot of fans wanting an authentic TJPW experience. I didn’t have much of a problem with it myself (anyone there remember the “Candyman” rib? Good times) but I get it. The ring they used got worn down pretty bad during every show and if you watched the streams there was little to no variety in the presentation for every show. Also The Up Up Girls entering the Clusterfuck and having Kerry Morton shouting foul mouthed insults at them didn’t go down well with some fans online.

Now let’s have some fun speculating over how on earth this all happened. As much as WWE pulled the rug over everybody with their sudden WrestleMania location switcharoo, it seems that a lot of groups who were going to New Orleans were able to recover and change course back to Vegas. GCW and The Collective made it clear they weren’t using the Palms Casino again but I’d love to know if that was a decision they made of their own volition or if Paragon jumped in and got the venue for themselves first. Paragon did have their own wrestling related stuff going on in that casino last year, I remember that. Also we have TJPW and Stardom working under the same umbrella but being kept away from each other. It’s funny to see it just has to be that way. They are still linked through UJPW but again any hope for a crossover seems slim. There might also be a few awkward meetings if Maki Itoh is travelling over with the Stardom side. There is TJPW links to the other promotions thanks to Nakajima working with CMLL and Yamashita appearing in both HOG and MLP last year. So for a brand new collection TJPW has links with everyone else involved.


Wrestlers Should Be Treated Like Gacha, Judgement 2026 Updates, New Princess Title Belts

February 23, 2026

“URANO EN 3”, 24/02/2025
TOKYO SQUARE In Itabashi

1. Extreme Five Warriors Iron Man Tournament: Ikuto Hidaka Vs Ilusion
2. Extreme Five Warriors Iron Man Tournament: Yasu Urano Vs Fuminori Abe
3. Extreme Five Warriors Iron Man Tournament: Ilusion Vs Ayato Yoshida
4. Extreme Five Warriors Iron Man Tournament: Ikuto Hidaka Vs Yasu Urano
5. Extreme Five Warriors Iron Man Tournament: Fuminori Abe Vs Ayato Yoshida
6. Extreme Five Warriors Iron Man Tournament: Ilusion Vs Yasu Urano
7. Extreme Five Warriors Iron Man Tournament: Ikuto Hidaka Vs Fuminori Abe
8. Extreme Five Warriors Iron Man Tournament: Yasu Urano Vs Ayato Yoshida
9. Extreme Five Warriors Iron Man Tournament: Ilusion Vs Fuminori Abe
10. Extreme Five Warriors Iron Man Tournament: Ikuto Hidaka Vs Ayato Yoshida

Each match will have a ten minute time limit. As best as I can tell, the winner of the one night round robin will be whoever has the highest score of total falls in all of their Iron Man matches combined. Given the show consists of ten Iron Man Matches that sounds like a nightmare to keep track of for one night.

The first two “URANO EN” events that Yasu Urano put together took place last year and were both Iron Man matches with Ikuto Hidaka and Akito respectively. The matches are on Minoru Fujita’s Youtube channel under the Live archive tab. I don’t think I’m going to follow this regularly unless BASARA continues to help promote it.

BAKA GAIJIN + FRIENDS “VOL. 28: BIG BEAT FROM BADSVILLE”, 24/02/2026

3. Special Single Match: Kota Sekifuda Vs HARASHIMA
4. Special Single Match: Chris Brookes Vs Yuta Oya

It seems that only Dark King Ueki knows who the new member of Ueki’s Magic Kingdom is. Neither Ram Kaichow nor Munetatsu Nakamura seem to know.

6. DDT Extreme Title: To-y (c) Vs Yuki Ishida

We’re less than a week away from the DDT Extreme Title match and To-y hasn’t come up with the stipulation yet. He and Yuki Ishida have been arguing on Twitter about it.

Viento Maligno is now here as part of Strange Love Connection.

Another new unit seems to be appearing on the horizon. Takeshi Masada & Yuya Koroku want to start a group built around the D GENERATIONS wrestlers. Does either Daichi Kazato or Rukiya want to join in?

DDT “ICHIKABACHIKA 2026”, 11/03/2026
Shinjuku FACE

1. KO-D Tag Team Titles: MAO & KANON (c) (w/ KIMIHIRO) Vs Danshoku Dieno & Super Sasadango Machine

Over in New Japan recently Yota Tsuji ruffled some feathers by criticizing the company’s owners Bushiroad for treating the wrestlers as nothing more than just content for trading card and gacha games. Well Super Sasadango Machine wishes CyberAgent would be that way for the likes of him and Danshoku Dieno! They need to make a convincing argument so they’ve challenged MAO & KANON for the KO-D Tag Team Titles. If they win the belts they hope it will raise their power within DDT to start making some business demands and turn the company towards the TGC and gacha industries.

DDT “JUDGEMENT 2026 ~29TH ANNIVERSARY CELEBRATION 5 HOUR SPECIAL~”, 22/03/2026
Tokyo Korakuen Hall

1. Shunma Katsumata Return Match: MAO Vs Shunma Katsumata
2. Dramatic Dream Match: KONOSUKE TAKESHITA Vs Kazuki Hirata (w/ John Robinson)
3. DDT Universal Title: Daisuke Sasaki (c) Vs Kazuma Sumi
4. KO-D Openweight Title: Yuki Ueno (c) Vs KANON

This year’s D GENERATIONS CUP winner Kazuma Sumi has earned himself a DDT Universal Title shot. Daisuke Sasaki congratulated him with a kick to the balls. Sounds like something he would do.

It’s not Magnum TOKYO but we’re one step away from it. Kazuki Hirata is getting John Robinson, the DJ behind “TOKYO GO!” to perform the song live for his entrance!

Shunma Katsumata wants MAO to be his first opponent for his big return match. It’s a match MAO has wanted too because one of the reasons he left The 37KAMIINA was to become Katsumata’s opponent rather than his teammate.

His match hasn’t been announced yet but DDT’s newest signing Masami Inahata will debut on this show.

BASARA “BASARA 303 ~UTAGE~”, 27/03/2026
Shin-Kiba 1st RING

1. Iron Fist Tag Team Titles: Takumi Tsukamoto & Daiki Shimomura (c) Vs Takato Nakano & Masato Kamino

The team of Takumi Tsukamoto & Daiki Shimomura are taking on all comers looking to become the next Iron Fist Tag Team Champions. Next up for them is Aijin Tag, one of BASARA’s most established teams. Takato Nakano thinks Masato Kamino hasn’t been taking wrestling seriously lately so they need to lock in to become the champs again.

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “GRAND PRINCESS ’26”, 29/03/2026

1. Special Tag Match: Yuka Sakazaki & KONOSUKE TAKESHITA Vs Hyper Misao & Super Sasadango Machine

It will be the third belt for the Princess Title while the other two championships are both getting redesigned for the first time.

Tokyo Korakuen Hall

1. KO-D Tag Team Titles: MAO & KANON (c) (w/ KIMIHIRO) Vs X & X

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “LOVE AND FLAME ~ THE BURNING VENUS RETURNS” Results

February 22, 2026

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “LOVE & FLAME ~ THE BURNING VENUS RETURNS”, 22/02/2026
Okayama Mirai Hall
297 Fans – Super No Vacancy

1. HIMAWARI defeated Shion Kanzaki with a Half Crab Hold (8:00).
2. Raku defeated Ren Konatsu with the Doctor Yellow (6:41).
3. Wakana Uehara defeated Chika Nanase with the Sushi Tornado (7:13).
4. Sara Phoenix defeated Pom Harajuku with the Dracarys (5:47).
5. Suzume & Mahiro Kiryu defeated Hyper Misao & Shino Suzuki when Suzume pinned Suzuki with the Ring A Bell (9:15).
6. Yuki Arai, Toga & Mifu Ashida defeated Miu Watanabe, Rika Tatsumi & Kira Summer when Arai submitted Summer with the Scorpion Death Lock (12:37).
7. Shoko Nakajima, Yuki Aino & Haru Kazashiro defeated Mizuki, Arisu Endo & Uta Takami when Aino pinned Takami with the UBV (15:59).

Earlier in the weekend Super Sasadango Machine sent a message to the ToJo Tokusatsu Club giving them more detailed instructions over the Super Sentai training they were tasked with doing. They were specifically told to take part in the “Fireball Return Training” that was seen in Episode 19 of Gekisou Sentai Carranger. The training hasn’t solved their problem of being unable to combine together successfully since neither Yuki Aino nor Haru Kazashiro have become strong enough to carry the others on top of their shoulders. Thankfully Aino was fired up by wrestling in her hometown and got her team the victory. She was happy the show got a full house today because Tokyo Joshi Pro usually comes to Okayama in January so she was worried the later date this year meant some fans who usually come to the shows wouldn’t appear. Shoko Nakajima called Okayama her second hometown because so many of her relatives live there. Kazashiro joked that Okayama is her third hometown next to the place where she was born and the place where she lives.

Tensions between Miu Watanabe and Yuki Arai is also firing up those two wrestlers and continues to reveal a more agressive side of Arai that hasn’t been seen before. The finish to the match had Mifu Ashida hold Watanabe back on the ring apron while Yuki Arai made Kira Summer tap out to the Scorpion Death Lock. But before Arai applied the move she shouted “I’m not giving up” and she refused to let go of the hold until the referee pulled her off of Summer. Backstage Arai said she wants to continue cherishing everything that is important to her but she also knows she may need to throw some of those things away in order to change what she needs to change. However Watanabe said nothing Arai did today has changed her expectations of her. There are two things in particular about Arai that she wants to explore before their Princess Of Princess Title match but they didn’t show up today. She won’t reveal what those two factors are until the next prelim match.

After yesterday’s show in Kobe, backstage shenanigans ended up with Rika Tatsumi winning the Iron Man Heavymetalweight Title from Aja Kong. She is thinking about taking it all the way to Sumo Hall to defend the title there but is worried that Watanabe will want to take it off her before then. Watanabe assured Tatsumi that she will pass on any opportunity to take the belt from her. Summer also think she isn’t strong enough yet to beat Tatsumi and asked her to remain the champ until she is ready to challenge.

Hyper Misao’s pre-match promo had her talk about how great the Okayama delicacy kibidango is. According to her, many pro wrestlers eat kibidango to gain power before their matches. She & Shino Suzuki then ate some during their match to power themselves up into a frenzy. Mahiro Kiryu used her attacks to knock them back to their senses (and of course apologized to everyone afterwards). Suzume went on to win the match by pinning Suzuki with the Ring A Bell.

TJPW OG, Okayama local and Aino’s older sister Nodoka Tenma greeted everyone at the start of the show. She promoted the upcoming Gaisen Sakura Pro Wrestling show taking place on 11th April.

A mystery suddenly opened up backstage during the show. Mizuki’s Pico Pico Hammer was stolen by an unknown person and they removed the hammer head while leaving a small American flag next to the pole. Mizuki found the remains of the hammer with the flag alongside it and is currently wondering what could this mean?

Just like yesterday, parts of the undercard were changed around because Yuki Kamifuku was too sick to be at the show.


TOKYO JOSHI PRO “FINAL CURTAIN IN KOBE ART CENTER” Results

February 21, 2026

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “FINAL CURTAIN IN KOBE ART CENTER”, 21/02/2026
Kobe Art Center
273 Fans

1. Haru Kazashiro defeated Shion Kanzaki with the Fisherman Suplex (6:04).
2. Wakana Uehara defeated Kira Summer with the Sushi Tornado (8:15).
3. Yuki Aino & Pom Harajuku defeated Rika Tatsumi & Mahiro Kiryu when Aino pinned Kiryu with the Venus DDT (9:54).
4. Aja Kong, Raku & Ren Konatsu defeated Hyper Misao, Mifu Ashida & Sara Phoenix when Kong pinned Ashida with a Jumping Elbow Drop (10:10).
5. Yuki Arai & HIMAWARI defeated Shoko Nakajima & Chika Nanase when Arai pinned Nanase with the Modified Brainbuster (10:28).
6. Suzume & Arisu Endo defeated MIRAI & Toga when Suzume pinned Toga with the Ring A Bell (13:20).
7. Mizuki & Uta Takami defeated Miu Watanabe & Shino Suzuki when Mizuki pinned Suzuki with the Cutie Special (16:03).

Up until a month ago Mizuki thought she would never main event a show in Kobe with Uta Takami as her tag partner. She is happy to have Miu Watanabe & Shino Suzuki as her opponents for Tokyo Joshi Pro’s final visit to Kobe Art Center. It is the last time because upcoming building renovations will make the venue unsuitable for holding wrestling shows once they’re completed (at least that’s according to Tetsuya Koda). Takami too was almost overwhelmed with emotion over it because she didn’t expect to get more chances to team with Mizuki after the Max Heart Tournament ended. Mizuki doesn’t know when TJPW will ever come back to Kobe so she wanted to create as many memories as she could today.

It’s been over four years since MIRAI and Suzume were last in the same match together. Today they were able to go back and forth in a preview of their International Princess Title match. Suzume had the advantage of being with her Daisy Monkey teammate Arisu Endo while MIRAI was teaming up with her previous challenger Toga for the first time. Daisy Monkey got the win after Double Dropkicking MIRAI, leaving Toga alone for Suzume to finish off. MIRAI said this will likely be the last preview before the title match due to her schedule elsewhere. She could tell some things about Suzume have changed since they last wrestled but there are other things that have stayed the same. The two have mixed feelings for each other that only they understand and MIRAI is determined not to lose the title to her. Toga was apologetic for losing today’s match and in response MIRAI offered her to be her ringside second for the title match. Toga agreed to do it if she is allowed to do so. Meanwhile Endo told Suzume she will always be by her side cheering her on. She wants her own feelings to be carried by Suzume in order to help her beat MIRAI for the title. Suzume said she will because she wants to fight Endo for the belt again some day in the future.

Yuki Kamifuku had to pull out of this weekend’s show after becoming sick. Two of the undercard matches had to be changed around to make up for her absence.

A long weekend of shows starts off tomorrow with BASARA hosting an Iron Fist Tag Team Titles defence. Ryota Nakatsu is trying to rebound from losing the Union MAX Title through Harimao. It’s a chance for Yuki Ishida to move on from his D GENERATIONS CUP performance too. But Takumi Tsukamoto & Daiki Shimomura aren’t ready to lose the belts jus yet.

DDT “HYBRID PERFORMER 2026 ~KAISEI TAKECHI 2ND ANNIVERSARY~”, 22/02/2026

6. D GENERATIONS CUP 2026 – Final: Kazuma Sumi Vs Takeshi Masada
7. Kaisei Takechi 2nd Anniversary Match: Yuki Ueno Vs Kaisei Takechi

This show has been hyped up for so long it feels a little funny that it’s now here. Yuki Ueno has to forget about KANON for a little while in order to give Kaisei Takechi the special match he wants. We also have the DGC final as well as Strange Love Connections revealing their newest member. I thought it would be Kazuma Sumi but he has the match with Takeshi Masada. The rest of D GENERATIONS are accounted for on the card too. Well, all but one of them. Could Keigo Nakamura finally be coming home?

Ohka Wins TTT Gold, The IInspiration Coming To TJPW, Minimo-chan Is Training

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “FINAL CURTAIN IN KOBE ART CENTER”, 21/02/2026
Kobe Art Center

1. 3 Way Match: Rika Tatsumi Vs Pom Harajuku Vs Mahiro Kiryu
2. Haru Kazashiro Vs Shion Kanzaki

6. MIRAI & Toga Vs Suzume & Arisu Endo
7. Miu Watanabe & Shino Suzuki Vs Mizuki & Uta Takami

This will be the final time Tokyo Joshi Pro comes to Kobe Art Center. The venue will be going under changes and the planned finished layout is considered to be unsuitable for holding wrestling shows according to Tetsuya Koda. So in the future TJPW will be looking for another venue in Kobe to host Mizuki’s homecoming shows. Somehow I don’t expect the Ring Soul bar to be among the options.

The International Princess Title scene gathers together for an important preview match. The current champion MIRAI is hanging around for a while and is teaming with her previous challenger Toga. On the other team is MIRAI’s next challenger Suzume along with her Daisy Monkey partner and former champion Arisu Endo.

6. Miu Watanabe, Rika Tatsumi & Kira Summer Vs Yuki Arai, Toga & Mifu Ashida
7. Shoko Nakajima, Yuki Aino & Haru Kazashiro Vs Mizuki, Arisu Endo & Uta Takami

Yuki Aino doesn’t have to worry about a potential relocation for her homecoming shows though. She and the rest of the ToJo Tokusatsu Club will be headlining the event. Maybe they’ll get an update on their Super Sentai goal for Sumo Hall along the way.

GANBARE☆PRO “A SCANNER DARKLY 2026”, 22/02/2026
Tokyo Takashimadaira Kumin Center

Over the weekend Ken Ohka won gold over at Total Triumph Team. He beat his one time nemesis Guts Ishijima to win the TTT Indie Unified Openweight Title. Also I didn’t find out about this until around the same time but Mizuki Watase won the KING Of FREEDOM World Tag Team Titles with Jun Kasai back on 23rd January.

While Yuki Iino is away training for his American Football career, the still unknown new member of Strange Love Connection will take his place.

Junta Miyawaki continues to get in the ring with new faces during his stay in DDT. Next up for him is Yuni in a first time ever match up.

DDT “NANIWA FIGHTERS 2026”, 08/03/2026
Osaka 176BOX

1. Naomi Yoshimura & Yuki Ishida Vs Kazuki Hirata & Akito
2. Special Tag Match: Sanshiro Takagi & Rukiya Vs Jun Akiyama & Yuni
3. Special Single Match: To-y Vs KANON

Since DDT is heading back to Osaka, that means Sanshiro Takagi & Rukiya get to reform their Toyonaka tag team. Due to injuries and other absences they haven’t been able to do this since 2024.

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “GRAND PRINCESS ’26”, 29/03/2026
Tokyo Ryogoku Kokugikan

1. Special Tag Match: Yuka Sakazaki & KONOSUKE TAKESHITA Vs Hyper Misao & Super Sasadango Machine
2. International Princess Title: MIRAI (c) Vs Suzume
3. Princess Tag Team Titles: Yuki Kamifuku & Wakana Uehara (c) Vs Jessie McKay & Cassie Lee
4. Princess Of Princess Title: Miu Watanabe (c) Vs Yuki Arai

Well, Ober Eats said they wanted to face a tag team that are a big deal. They also said they want to have the best match on the show and er… yeah… it’s nice to want things. Anyway TJPW went and got The IInspiration to be Yuki Kamifuku & Wakana Uehara’s next challengers for the Princess Tag Team Titles. The Australian pair of Jessie McKay & Cassie Lee were known as The IIconics in WWE before going to TNA with the name change. They won the women’s tag team championships in both companies and just recently signed a deal with AEW so they match the requirements Ober Eats were looking for.

The mascot Minimo-chan spent Monday training with Mahiro Kiryu for its upcoming pro wrestling debut. Super Sasadango Machine gave Minimo-chan the task of learning a special move but Kiryu was sceptical over the mascot’s ability to wrestle. Minimo-chan proved her wrong by running the ropes, doing Wrist Locks and even performing a Side Thrust Kick to the ribs with ease. It then told Kiryu that with this kick it will win its debut match in Sumo Hall! An interview was held after training where Minimo-chan revealed it used to watch All Japan VHS tapes over and over until they all wore out. Its favorite wrestlers are Steve Williams, Doug Furnas and Dan Kroffat. Minimo-chan also aims to eventually fight for a championship!

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “TJPW INSPIRATION”, 18/04/2026
TOKYO SQUARE In Itabashi

How curious. The next TJPW Inspiration show will feature Rika Tatsumi, Mahiro Kiryu, Arisu Endo, Haru Kazashiro, Mifu Ashida, Kira Summer, Chika Nanase, Ren Konatsu and Shion Kanzaki on the card along with three guest wrestlers. While this is going on Miyu Yamashita, Shoko Nakajima, Hyper Misao, Yuki Aino and Toga will be in Las Vegas for Wrestlemania Weekend. Yamashita and Toga already have match bookings but the other three are so far only advertised for a meet and greet at WrestleCon. The mystery continues.


TOKYO JOSHI PRO “TJPW CLUB EX: CHAPTER PAUSE” Results

February 15, 2026

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “TJPW CLUB EX: CHAPTER PAUSE”, 15/02/2026
Tokyo Shinagawa Prince Hotel Club eX
285 Fans – No Vacancy

1. Toga defeated Shion Kanzaki with a Face Lock (6:12).
2. Sara Phoenix defeated Mahiro Kiryu with the Dracarys (7:40).
3. MAX HEART After The Final: Yuki Arai, Mifu Ashida, Kira Summer & Chika Nanase defeated Mizuki, Uta Takami, HIMAWARI & Shino Suzuki when Arai pinned Suzuki with the Modified Brainbuster (10:02).
4. MAX HEART Beyond The Bracket: Miu Watanabe & Rika Tatsumi defeated Yuki Aino & Haru Kazashiro when Tatsumi submitted Kazashiro with the White Dragon Sleeper (11:39).
5. MAX HEART Beyond The Bracket: Suzume & Arisu Endo defeated Max The Impaler & Pom Harajuku when Suzume pinned Harajuku with the Ring A Bell (9:01).
6. MAX HEART After The Final: Yuki Kamifuku, Wakana Uehara, Miyu Yamashita & Kaya Toribami defeated Shoko Nakajima, Hyper Misao, Raku & Ren Konatsu when Kamifuku submitted Konatsu with the Shonandai Manji (12:41).

Hyper Misao went all out with her battle plan for the main event before Ober Eats & K!SS// made their entrances. She told Shoko Nakajima to blind Kaya Toribami by placing Raku’s sleep mask over her eyes while she and Raku wrap up Miyu Yamashita in Raku’s blanket. Then Ren Konatsu was told to place along a trail of bread from the ring to the locker room to lure Wakana Uehara out of the arena. That would leave Yuki Kamifuku alone to fight by herself and even then Misao planned to use her cape to cover over Kamiyu’s face. Kamiyu was stuck in a 1 Vs 4 situation until she successfully called Uehara back to the ring while K!SS// broke free of their traps. From there the match went into a more normal 4 Vs 4 layout and Ober Eats got the victory by trapping Konatsu & Raku in their submission holds. After the match Yamashita apologised for accidentally kicking Kamifuku during the match (Kamifuku stomped on Yamashita while she was stuck in the blanket and suspects Yamashita knew it was her), Uehara apologised for eating the bread and Toribami didn’t understand why everyone on her team was arguing with each other because she was blind during those moments.

The Dracarys that was used by Sara Phoenix to win her match is a Flying Codebreaker from the top rope.

Prism Greed could have only happened in this year’s tournament if both teams had made it to the final. The other two matches are both 8-Women Tags featuring all the other teams from the winners right down to those who fell in Round 1.

DDT “JUDGEMENT 2026 ~29TH ANNIVERSARY CELEBRATION 5 HOUR SPECIAL~”, 22/03/2026
Tokyo Korakuen Hall

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “GRAND PRINCESS ’26”, 29/03/2026
Tokyo Ryogoku Kokugikan

1. Special Tag Match: Yuka Sakazaki & KONOSUKE TAKESHITA Vs Hyper Misao & Super Sasadango Machine
2. Princess Tag Team Titles: Yuki Kamifuku & Wakana Uehara (c) Vs X & X
3. International Princess Title: MIRAI (c) Vs Suzume
4. Princess Of Princess Title: Miu Watanabe (c) Vs Yuki Arai

It’s going to be a battle of pride and history over the International Princess Title in Sumo Hall next month. MIRAI has chosen Suzume to be her next challenger because both have grown stronger in their own different ways in the time that’s occured since MIRAI left Tokyo Joshi Pro. The two were classmates who both debuted in 2019 and had a short lived tag team called BeeStar. If that’s not enough, both of them are going into the match carrying the expectations for their respective companies on their backs. Suzume wants to win back the IP Title for TJPW while MIRAI is fighting for Michinoku Pro who have taken to her like family throughout her tenure there so far.

It has not been made official yet but Ober Eats are going to have their next Princess Tag Team Titles defence on this show. By winning the Max Heart Tournament they have virtually prevented any other team in TJPW from becoming the No. 1 Contenders for the time being. Yuki Kamifuku says she doesn’t care who she and Wakana Uehara will fight against but she would prefer it if TJPW can find a buzzworthy tag team that is cooler, sexier and more popular than them.
