A successful tour of Texas has now come to an end. Even though the final show was the lowest drawing one of the lot, it was also the only one to sell out. At the end of the show Miu Watanabe told the crowd it was a very happy Texas tour for Tokyo Joshi Pro and they will definitely do it again. Until then, TJPW wants Texas to pay attention to “GRAND PRINCESS ’26” on 29th March. Arisu Endo said the tour was so much fun because she could hear so many people cheering in every arena. Rika Tatsumi said the tour is so exciting that she can’t stop feeling excited.

When wrestlers travel together, it is often inevitable that one will pull a rib on the other that kind of goes out of control. Yuki Arai had no idea what was in store for her when Pom Harajuku wheeled down a gacha machine to the ring during their match. Harajuku revealed she had stolen Arai’s house key and hid it in one of the gacha capsules! Arai had to keep pulling out different capsules to find her key otherwise she wouldn’t be able to go home to Japan. She eventually got it back and pinned Harajuku with the Modified Brainbuster to get some payback.

The 29th Anniversary of DDT was also the first attempt by KANON to try and win the KO-D Openweight Title. For the weeks leading up to this match, KANON had been winning matches with the Lariat so Yuki Ueno tried to weaken it by hitting KANON’s hand off the corner post early on. KANON would still use the Lariat as an equalizer but then tried using his other moves to win. The Cobra Twist, Sleepy Hollow and LONELY DEZIRES wouldn’t work so he went back to the Lariat. However Ueno’s well time Dropkick to the face helped him to set up the Blackout Sleeper to squeeze the life out of KANON. While he was eventually able to get out of it, KANON was then given the WR to put him down and out.

Ueno told KANON after the match that he’s been thinking about him a lot. He thinks KANON is strong, handsome, kind and also weird. If he wants to make it to the top of DDT he cannot stay the way he is now. KANON needs to show more. Still, Ueno had fun and reminded KANON he’s been part of the DDT family even going back to when he was part of DAMNATION T.A. When he was done, Yuki Iino got into the ring feeling moved by Ueno’s speech. Iino asked for a title match because Ueno was his senior who taught him everything about pro wrestling back when Iino was a trainee. Ueno was also Iino’s first ever opponent. Ueno said he would accept the challenge on the condition that Iino would not immediately attack him after they shake hands. Iino agreed and they shook hands without incident. Ueno then told the fans he will carry the hopes of everybody as DDT moves into its 30th year.

After several failed attempts, Kazuma Sumi solved the puzzle and got to pin Daisuke Sasaki with the School Boy to win the DDT Universal Title! Sasaki targeted his leg from the get-go, including attacking the limb with a chair. A ref bump also led to the other members of DAMNATION T.A interfering on Sasaki’s behalf. Sumi fought against the odds but almost paid big by missing the Reverse 450 Splash. His luck then turned around when DAMNATION T.A interfered again only to backfire on Sasaki when Ilusion accidentally hit him with the chair. From there Sumi tried to pin Sasaki with the School Boy several times. Sasaki caught him in the Crossface Lock only for Sumi to counter it into another School Boy, this time pinning Sasaki down for the three count! Sasaki complained backstage that his “visa” for travelling the world was now taken from him and he’s trying to figure out does this mean he is being banished from the country? He only remembers being hit by a chair so that means Sumi cheated to win! Sasaki will accept his fate for now. He will go abroad, fall in love, get dumped and then come back home.

When Sumi celebrated with the title he said he is so glad he never gave up. He was able to keep going because of everyone’s support. He was then asked to nominated his first challenger for a title defence in Fukuoka on 18th April. Sumi chose Shunma Katsumata because he wants to repay him for all of his kindness ever since he debuted. However Sumi’s way of repaying Katsumata is to surpass him so he is not taking him lightly by putting this title match together. Katsumata agreed to the match and said he is going to treat Sumi as his equal. His way of repaying Sumi will be to crush him and win the Universal Title!

Kazuki Hirata was given the biggest entrance possible by having John Robinson sing him down to the ring with a live performance of “TOKYO GO!” Then after all of that hype, Konosuke Takeshita pinned Hirata in seconds after a Big Boot. A rematch immediately took place but Takeshita won again this time with an Elbow Butt that knocked Hirata out. Hirata begged for another rematch and Takeshita accepted. He even allowed Hirata to only need a 2 Count pin to beat him while Takeshita would need to pin Hirata for a 20 Count! The match began again with those conditions. This time Robinson got involved by stopping Takeshita from attacking Hirata with a chair. He also offered a pair of Hirata GO! glasses but Takeshita destroyed them. Robinson got on the mic to sing “TOKYO GO!” again in order to revive Hirata’s chances. This time Takeshita put on the glasses and started dancing only for Robinson to sneak in and Low Blow Takeshita! Hirata then got in the Miracle One Shot Cradle but Takeshita kicked out at one. Hirata’s comeback was cut off with the Wagamama knee strike but he somehow kicked out at 19! Another Miracle One Shot Cradle was done as a counter for the Raging Fire but Takeshita kicked out at one again. Possibly knowing how close of a call that was, Takeshita flipped Hirata over into the Walls Of Takeshita to win the match by submission instead of pinfall.

After the match Takeshita told Hirata his style of wrestling is one of a kind and it is time for him to become No. 1 in DDT again! He wants Hirata to show him the ultimate Dramatic Dream. Then they can have another rematch where this time Takeshita will need to pin Hirata for a 30 count! After they left the ring, DDT announced that Takeshita will return at “WRESTLE PETER PAN 2026” in Sumo Hall on 11th August for a single match against Kaisei Takechi!

paleyouth got their first KO-D 6-Man Tag Team Titles defence in the bag after beating Harimao today. The challengers were accompanied by Kazusada Higuchi but he stood by and did not get involved. Daichi Sato stood toe to toe with Naomi Yoshimura while Takeshi Masada & Yuya Koroku threw both Ryota Nakatsu & Yuki Ishida away with German Suplexes. The match came down to Masada dodging Ishida’s Flame Palm and then hitting him with two Manburi kicks for the victory.

The champions were then greeted by FANTÔMES DRAMATIC after the match. Chris Brookes, HARASHIMA & Antonio Honda were there to get the next title shot until Honda talked about how dramatic it would be for a team with Hinata Kasai in it to win the titles from paleyouth. Masada asked if Kasai had even won a match yet? Kasai said he hasn’t but that doesn’t mean he cannot get his first win against them! He thinks the best way to celebrate his first win would be to hold championships with the rest of Fandora. All of a sudden, Brookes grabbed Bunbun and threw him into the audience! He went to retrieve him afterwards only to throw him to another part of the room! Masada swore revenge by declaring he will take all of his anger out on Kasai!

As part of the plan to get the Iron Man Heavymetalweight Title from Minoru Suzuki, the opposing team in the Handicap Match took part in Gongitsune training before the match. Their logic is Suzuki’s biggest weakness is his eyeballs so it will be up to Honda to poke them. Hisaya Imabayashi bravely started the match with Suzuki but was left to fight by himself and was almost choked out with the Sleeper Hold. Sanshiro Takagi got into a Chop Battle with Suzuki while Danshoku Dieno stopped him with a Lip Lock. When Honda’s attempts at Gongitsune kept on failing, Suzuki got on the microphone to ask everyone how long is DDT going to keep doing this kind of pro wrestling? This is the kind of pro wrestling that makes New Japan wrestlers look down on them! He called Takagi the root of all evil but then admitted to having good memories with everyone in the ring with him. Honda finally poked him in the eye with Gongitsune during the speech but Suzuki didn’t react. He revealed he had trained his eyeballs in anticipation for this match! Honda charged up Gongitsune by using Dieno’s Hell Gate but Suzuki blocked it by stealing Imabayashi’s glasses and putting them on to act as a shield. Suzuki then fought off Toru Owashi & Super Sasadango Machine but was caught with the Stunner by Takagi. Suzuki resisted the impact at first but soon ran out of energy and collapsed to the match. Everyone piled on top of him to get the pinfall but Daisuke Kiso declared afterward that it was Imabayashi’s glasses that pinned Suzuki which means the Glasses are now the Iron Man Champion! Later at the end of the show Honda found the glasses over at the timekeeper’s table and destroyed them to be declared the new champion.

The rule for the DDT Extreme Title match was Yukinori Matsui had to wear a helmet with a button attached to it on his head. If To-y or Hideki Okatani pressed the button, they would then need to make Matsui laugh during a staring contest. Succeeding in that would allow them to use a bamboo sword as a legal weapon for one minute. To-y was eager to follow those rules while Okatani was not in the humour to mess around like that. When he kept ignoring the rule, Matsui told Okatani he wants him to make him laugh. Okatani finally obliged and made a funny face to make Matsui collapse in laughter. Okatani then whacked To-y over the head with the bamboo stick and pinned him with the Vertical Drop Brainbuster to become the new Extreme Champion.

After the match KIMIHIRO appeared at the entrance to make an introduction for Yukio Naya. When Naya got into the ring he told Okatani that “extreme” means big so he’s going to use his size to take the Extreme Title from him! Okatani called Naya arrogant but accepted his challenge for 15th April. According to him, just because Naya is big doesn’t mean he can beat Okatani to win the title. Meanwhile To-y accepted defeat and praised Okatani for being the star of the match even though he expected Okatani would remain as a supporting character.

Fandora have another championship match to look forward to soon. Brookes & HARASHIMA teamed up against Shinya Aoki & Junta Miyawaki to determine the No. 1 Contenders for the KO-D Tag Team Titles. Miyawaki almost had HARASHIMA beat with the Sunshine Clutch but Brookes broke up the pin. HARASHIMA fired himself back up to put Miyawaki on the defensive and used the Somato on Aoki to knock him off the ring apron. Meanwhile Brookes gave Miyawaki a Piledriver, rolling him into position for another Somato to give Fandora the win. Backstage HARASHIMA said they knew their opponents had moves that could beat them regardless of how much stamina they had so it was up to their own teamwork to get past any close calls and win.

It was 29th June, 2025 when Shunma Katsumata last wrestled a proper match. Now after spending the last nine months rehabilitating from a torn ACL he was back in action and wrestling his good friend MAO. They wasted no time in setting their pace and MAO even broke a few plastic boxes in the process. Katsumata went for the Totonou Splash but MAO blocked it with his knees. Katsumata tried to fire himself back up after taking the Michinoku Driver II but he was put away with a Running Palm Strike afterward. Katsumata spoke about how happy he is to be back in the ring after 265 days. As long as he gets to wrestle like this he will never complain. He might get injured again but he’ll recover and return again no matter how many times it happens! MAO said he hopes this is the last time Katsumata has a comeback match. He and Katsumata will also make sure they will never put themselves in a position where they have to forfeit a championship again.

The 3 Way Tag Match featured the DDT debut of Masami Inahata. He got to start off the match against Kumadori until Ilusion got involved trying to form alliances. When that didn’t work, MJ Paul went on the attack by targeting Makoto Oishi. Inahata got his moment by giving Paul a Brainbuster but Ilusion ruined it by giving Inahata a Low Blow afterward. In the end it was the teamwork of Viento Maligno & Kumadori that won out. Kumadori did a Fosbury Flop onto everyone outside the ring while Maligno pinned Ilusion with his finisher to win. Kumadori liked teaming with Maligno but wishes they could communicate better because Maligno doesn’t seem to understand Japanese. Oishi told Inahata that today is a new beginning for him and he will become even bigger in DDT.

Evil Uno was welcomed back into DDT for a tag match against The Apex. Uno teamed with Akito but the pair of them were overwhelmed by the power of Iino & Naya. One big Spear from Iino to Akito was all it took to end the match. Iino hasn’t been wrestling that much lately but he reminded everyone he is still training hard. Uno said he should be unhappy over the result but the last time he was in DDT he had to kiss Dieno’s butt so today was a much better experience for him.

Jun Akiyama stood before Rukiya as his big challenge in the opening contest. Rukiya tried to deal some damage outside the ring only for Akiyama to do that to him instead. Rukiya was able to rope break his way out of a Crab Hold and he also kicked out of the Exploder Suplex. Akiyama waited patiently to hit him with a Knee Strike before using another Exploder to beat him.

One of the dark matches was put together by Tokyo Joshi Pro to promote “GRAND PRINCESS ’26” taking place at Sumo Hall on 29th March. HIMAWARI, Haru Kazashiro & Chika Nanase went on to beat Toga, Ren Konatsu & Shion Kanzaki. Kazashiro scored the win for her team and got to advertise the show for her post match victory speech.

The other dark match was Yuni taking on Hinata Kasai. As already mentioned earlier, Kasai still has not won a match by himself yet. He tried to submit Yuni with the STF but Yuni got out of it and used the Jorge Clutch out of an Arm Drag to pin him.

The participants for King Of DDT 2026 were revealed during the show. The entries are HARASHIMA, Danshoku Dieno, MAO, Chris Brookes, Yukio Naya, KANON, Takeshi Masada, Hideki Okatani, To-y, Shinya Aoki, Yuya Koroku, Daichi Sato, Kaisei Takechi, Junta Miyawaki, Kazuma Sumi and Minoru Suzuki.


TOKYO JOSHI PRO “TJPW TEXAS STAMPEDE – DALLAS” Results

March 21, 2026

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “TJPW TEXAS STAMPEDE – DALLAS”, 21/03/2026
College Park Center, Arlington, Texas, USA
1,481 Fans

1. Shino Suzuki defeated Mifu Ashida with the Modified Cobra Clutch (4:55).
2. Sakura Hattori defeated Uta Takami with the Shinden Fudo Ryu Majime Ura (7:57).
3. Suzume & Arisu Endo defeated Raku & Pom Harajuku when Endo pinned Harajuku with the Ju no Okite (11:32).
4. Yuki Kamifuku & Wakana Uehara defeated Yuki Aino & Vert Vixen when Kamifuku pinned Aino with the Diving Famouser (11:55).
5. 3 Way Match: Mizuki defeated Rika Tatsumi and Hyper Misao when Mizuki pinned Misao with the Diving Foot Stomp (13:50).
6. Shoko Nakajima & Yuki Arai defeated Miu Watanabe & Miyu Yamashita when Nakajima pinned Yamashita with the Diving Senton (16:48).

After a couple days off it was onto Show #3 of the Texas Stampede tour. Tokyo Joshi Pro was now visiting Arlington near Dallas and again grew a very strong attendance number. I still have my doubts over how many of these tickets were being comped or heavily discounted but TJPW being able to attract 1,400+ people each time for three seperate shows held in America within a week is an achievement no matter how it was done.

Today’s main event was the last preview match between Miu Watanabe and Yuki Arai before “GRAND PRINCESS ’26” takes place next weekend. However the final moments of the match instead focused on Miyu Yamashita and Shoko Nakajima continuing on from their singles match in Austin a few days ago. Nakajima countered the Attitude Adjustment into a Hurricanrana and then ran over to dive out of the ring onto Watanabe. Back in the ring Arai cut off Watanabe with a Big Boot and hit the Finally kick on her afterward. Nakajima then got to the top rope and hit the Diving Senton onto Yamashita to get the three count. Backstage Nakajima said she got revenge for losing to Yamashita a few days ago and since it was in a tag match, it is double the payback! She’s now ready to go fight with the Super Sentai in Sumo Hall next weekend. Arai would have liked to directly beat Watanabe today but thinks she at least now has momentum after she finally hit the Finally on her rival. Watanabe admitted to feeling humiliated from being hit with that move after being able to avoid it up until now.

A flight delay sadly prevented Jada Stone from making it to the show so her match against Rika Tatsumi was scrapped. Tatsumi was instead added to the Mizuki Vs Hyper Misao bout to make it a 3 Way Match. Misao talked to the fans in English before the match began, telling everyone that Mizuki is a devil and Tatsumi is crazy. She then told fans not to worry about them hearing that because neither of them understand English. During the match Misao would wrap up her opponents together with the detached ring apron and then crash the Hyper Dramatic Dream into them. There was also a castle of chairs built near the entrance for Misao to cycle towards but the bike fell apart before she could get there. She instead charged towards her opponents on foot and ended up being sent crashing into the castle by herself. Chaos continued with Mizuki climbing up the entrance gate to do a Diving Cross Body onto everybody standing on the entrance ramp. Mizuki then brought Misao back to the ring and hit the Diving Foot Stomp on her to win the match.

Raku & Pom Harajuku continued showing off their love for Buc-ee by wearing their one piece outfits of the mascot for their match again. They also wheeled out a gachapon machine to use against Daisy Monkey, first by pushing the machine into them and then by pulling out gacha toys to use as weapons. Daisy Monkey got their own back by stripping the Buc-ee outfits off their opponents and then putting it on themselves. Raku threw the empty gacha balls at Arisu Endo to break up the Camel Clutch she had put Harajuku in. Suzume helped Endo get rid of Raku and Endo went on to pin Harajuku with the Ju no Okite.


Aijin Tag Being Scouted, J-Rod Gets Vegas Title Shot, Puroresu Nylon

4. Daiki Shimomura Vs Masato Kamino
5. Battle Royal: Ryota Nakatsu Vs Ryuichi Sekine Vs Trans-Am ★ Hiroshi Vs Lil’ Kraken Vs Yasu Urano Vs Shuji Ishikawa

Let’s start up today with a rumour concerning Aijin Tag. Earlier this week, the Super J-Cast Patreon put out a report about New Japan looking into several pro wrestlers on the indies to bring onto their roster, particularly for the Junior Heavyweight division. Two of the names among them are Takato Nakano and Masato Kamino. There isn’t much extra info to that other than out of all the names the J-Cast heard about, the two BASARA wrestlers are the curveballs on the list. It’s something to keep in mind as we approach Best Of The Super Juniors season. Kamino in particular is a funny one because he is still being billed at weighing around 90kg but he’s looked larger than that for a while now.

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

1. Princess Tag Team Titles: Yuki Kamifuku & Wakana Uehara (c) Vs X & X
2. Princess Of Princess Title: Miu Watanabe (c) Vs J-Rod

The winner of the Princess Of Princess Title match at “GRAND PRINCESS ’26” will go on to Las Vegas where they will defend the title against J-Rod. The returning American powerhouse has a lot going on lately. She is part of the series reboot of American Gladiators and the first episode will be released the day after this show takes place. Her Gladiator name hasn’t been revealed yet. She already fought Miu Watanabe for the Princess Title back in November but Yuki Arai could be a brand new opponent for her.

It was also announced that The IInspiration will be on this show. So it will be either them or Ober Eats who will be defending the Princess Tag Team Titles next month.

In regards to the previously announced International Princess Title match planned for the show, Tokyo Joshi Pro can no longer confirm that it will happen. They had intended to book MIRAI for the show but are unable to do so because of scheduling conflicts with Michinoku Pro. So for now there will just be two title matches happening in Las Vegas instead of three. That could change if Suzume beats MIRAI to win the IP Title but this news sure does feel like TJPW painted themselves into a corner and have to spoil the result of that match to get out of there.

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “TJPW TEXAS STAMPEDE – AUSTIN DAY 2” Results

March 19, 2026

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “TJPW TEXAS STAMPEDE – AUSTIN DAY 2”, 18/03/2026
Palmer Events Center, Austin, Texas, USA
1,561 Fans

1. Yuki Arai & Mifu Ashida defeated Arisu Endo & Shino Suzuki when Arai pinned Suzuki with the Modified Brainbuster (9:26).
2. Sakura Hattori defeated Hyper Misao with a Modified Cradle (9:02).
3. Yuki Kamifuku & Wakana Uehara defeated Raku & Pom Harajuku when Kamifuku pinned Harajuku with the Famouser (8:35).
4. Rika Tatsumi defeated Yuki Aino with the White Dragon Sleeper (11:44).
5. Miyu Yamashita defeated Shoko Nakajima with the Crash Rabbit Heat (16:12).
6. Miu Watanabe & Suzume defeated Mizuki & Uta Takami when Watanabe pinned Takami with the Tear Drop (14:02).

Day 2 of the Texas Stampede tour was also the last of Tokyo Joshi Pro’s appearances at this year’s SXSW festival in Austin. Just like yesterday they drew a really good turnout although it’s currently not possible to tell how much of the crowd were ticket buyers and how many got comped in through their SXSW passes. Still, everyone working the show gathered together at the end to thank the city of Austin for hosting them over the last two days. After taking a break for a couple of days, TJPW will next move on to Dallas and Houston this weekend for the remaining dates of their tour.

While yesterday’s show had a focus around building towards “GRAND PRINCESS ’26”, today’s match lineup was more scattershot. Miu Watanabe & Suzume teamed up in the main event just over two months after they fought each other for the Princess Of Princess Title at the annual 4th January show in Korakuen Hall. Their opponents Mizuki & Uta Takami started off as a makeshift team entering the Max Heart Tournament until they went on a Cinderella run all the way to the final. It was nothing but pride on the line and the two teams still showed out. Mizuki countered the Tear Drop into the Whirling Candy then Takami dazed Watanabe with her speed to get her into the Koala Clutch. Watanabe got a rope break the first time then countered a second Koala Clutch into a Power Slam. Watanabe then used her power to fight off her opponents two against one until Suzume jumped in to give Mizuki the Ring A Bell. Watanabe then finished off Takami with the Tear Drop for the victory.

The two longest active wrestlers in the TJPW roster faced off in the semi-main event. Both Miyu Yamashita and Shoko Nakajima have been with the promotion since pretty much the beginning yet it’s been around two and a half years since they last had a singles match against each other. Neither wanted to lose and pulled out the abilities to kick out of each other’s finishers. Yamashita kicked out of the Northern Lights Suplex while Nakajima was lucky to had been standing on the ring apron when she was hit with the Skull Kick. That meant she had to be dragged away from the ropes giving her enough recovery time to kick out of the pin. However Yamashita caught Nakajima off guard with a Running Knee Strike to the back, leaving her as a sitting duck for the Crash Rabbit Heat. Backstage Yamashita said she doesn’t get to wrestle her contemporaries one on one as often as she used to because the TJPW roster keeps growing with new members. But Nakajima is an opponent who always makes Yamashita feel the need to get even stronger. Nakajima said Yamashita somehow becomes 100 times more motivated whenever she is in America, like the country gives her some sort of skills buff. They’ll be wrestling each other in a tag match on the Houston show so she will aim to get revenge for today’s loss over there.

When Rika Tatsumi found out they were selling popcorn in the venue she couldn’t help but get a bucket for herself. Thankfully some fans standing ahead of her in the queue decided to give her their bucket and she accepted the gift. She then force fed Yuki Aino the popcorn while they wrestled their match.

Both Raku & Pom Harajuku entered the ring for their match wearing Buc-ee one piece outfits. Meanwhile the referee known only to everyone as Mike tried to plug his ears with tissue to block out Harajuku’s screaming. It worked until Harajuku pulled the tissue out of his ears. Ober Eats got fed up with the other team’s antics and stripped them out of the outfits. Wakana Uehara then got the rare boos against her by throwing the costumes out of the ring. Harajuku later brought the costumes back for the hot tag, giving one to Yuki Kamifuku so she could challeng her to a Buc-ee Fight! Kamifuku joined in the fun but ruined it by poking Harajuku in the eyes before pinning her with the Famouser.

The emergence of Sakura Hattori sparked some curiosity in Hyper Misao. Before their match began, Misao avoided shaking Hattori’s hand to get on the microphone. She wanted to ask Hattori two questions. First, is she a ninja? Hattori nodded. Second, is she justice? Hattori wouldn’t answer and also slapped away a handshake so Misao determined she must be evil! Misao attacked her with such heroic actions as spraying her in the face and crashing the Hyper Dramatic Dream into her at ringside. But back in the ring Hattori dodged the Hypami Returns, tripped Misao down and then tangled her up in a llave style cradle to pin her for the three count.

Yuki Arai displayed brand new wrestling gear in the opening match. She rekindled her Kyoto Tag team with Mifu Ashida to take on the makeshift pairing of Arisu Endo & Shino Suzuki. Late in the match Arai put Suzuki in the Scorpion Death Lock but Endo broke it up with a Super Kick. Ashida got Endo with a Hook Kick before throwing her away with a German Suplex. She then helped Arai give Suzuki the Full Nelson Buster. After that, Arai used a new Spinning Brainbuster to win the match.

The show again opened up with a performance by The Up Up Girls (Pro Wrestling) along with the Megami Maids while Sayuri Namba hosted everything.


TOKYO JOSHI PRO “TJPW TEXAS STAMPEDE – AUSTIN DAY 1” Results

March 18, 2026

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “TJPW TEXAS STAMPEDE – AUSTIN DAY 1”, 17/03/2026
Palmer Events Center, Austin, Texas, USA
1,951 Fans

1. Suzume defeated Uta Takami with the Ring A Bell (6:12).
2. Sakura Hattori defeated Shino Suzuki with the Shinden Fudo Ryu Majime Ura (8:54).
3. Raku & Pom Harajuku defeated Hyper Misao & Mifu Ashida when Raku pinned Ashida with the Doctor Yellow (10:25).
4. Miyu Yamashita & Arisu Endo defeated Mizuki & Yuki Aino when Yamashita pinned Aino with the Skull Kick (13:53).
5. Jessie McKay & Cassie Lee defeated Shoko Nakajima & Wakana Uehara when McKay pinned Uehara after the IIdolizer (10:15).
6. Miu Watanabe & Rika Tatsumi defeated Yuki Kamifuku & Yuki Arai when Watanabe pinned Arai with the Tear Drop (15:08).

Last year’s Texas tour was such a smash hit for Tokyo Joshi Pro that they’ve done it again this year, this time on a bigger scale. Four shows are on the bill this time around with the first two taking place in Austin as part of the SXSW festival. The crowd at the show were a mix of ticket buyers and festival attendees which all added up to a total announced attendance of 1,951 fans for the show. How much the split is between ticket buyers and festival passes hasn’t been revealed (and probably won’t be until well after the series has ended) but it is still a great number to start with for the tour.

Day 1 of the tour provided plenty of warm up matches for “GRAND PRINCESS ’26” happening back in Japan at the end of the month. Miu Watanabe and Yuki Arai had another tag team clash against each other. Watanabe had Rika Tatsumi as her partner and the combined strength of Daydream was too much for the Double YUKI pair of Arai & Yuki Kamifuku to handle. Tatsumi’s Hip Attack broke Watanabe free from Arai’s Scorpion Death Lock, then Watanabe went on a roll by Backbreaking Kamifuku out of action before hitting her signature moves on Arai for the victory. Daydream told the fans to come back tomorrow so TJPW can spread their love even further across Texas.

Before Kamifuku went out to wrestle in the main event, she got to watch her Ober Eats tag partner Wakana Uehara face The IInspiration in a preview of their Princess Tag Team Titles match at Sumo Hall. Uehara & Shoko Nakajima did their best but weren’t able to pull off the win. Jessie McKay blocked Uehara’s attempt at the Sushi Tornado and instead gave her the Pedigree. Nakajima was then taken out with a Blue Thunder Bomb from Cassie Lee, leaving Uehara defenceless. The IInspiration then put her away with their Magic Killer style Flapjack finisher called The IIdolizer. We’ll next see them at Sumo Hall when they will challenge Ober Eats for the Princess Tag Titles.

Today is a very happy birthday for Miyu Yamashita because she received a warm welcome from the Texas crowd and also got to Skull Kick Yuki Aino’s head off. Meanwhile Mizuki was able to arm herself with another Pico Pico Hammer to replace the one that was recently stolen from her. She proved to be some trouble for Yamashita & Arisu Endo to handle. Aino tried to push her weight around with Shoulder Blocks to Yamashita but then the Skull Kick took her down and out.

Hyper Misao spoke in English to introduce herself and Mifu Ashida to the fans. However by the time she was done, Raku & Pom Harajuku decided to take a nap in the middle of the ring. Ashida tried to wake them up with her cheering but it didn’t work. It was all a trap for the other team to roll them up for nearfall. Outside the ring Misao crashed the Hyper Dramatic Dream into the other team. Harajuku would get her revenge later in the match when Raku suddenly wheeled her out in her own Tesla and used it to run Misao over! Raku then got back into the ring to pin Ashida with the Doctor Yellow.

The former Kaya Toribami has now become Sakura Hattori with today’s show being the debut of her new persona. Gone is the high flying skills of the cassowary and in its place were agility and strikes taken from ninja jujutsu. A Flying Forearm got Hattori a nearfall but Shino Suzuki fought back by putting all of her power into a Sleeper Hold and the Swinging Neckbreaker. Hattori blocked the Belly-To-Belly Suplex and kicked out of the Rolling Backward Cradle before grabbing Suzuki in her new submission finisher. It is a Kata-Gatame style Shoulder Hold called the Shinden Fudo Ryu Majime Ura.

The opener saw Suzume defeat Uta Takami without too much trouble. She had a mishap when Takami dodged the Mikazuki Meteor Shower but Suzume quickly got back control by using the Corner Dive Facecrusher to shut down her opponent’s comeback. One Ring A Bell later and Suzume had her hand raised in victory.

It was as authentic a TJPW show that the promotion and their partners Tokyo Story USA could put together. Sayuri Namba was the ring announcer and The Up Up Girls (Pro Wrestling) performed a song at the start of the show. Just like with last year’s tour, they were joined by the Megami Maids for the performance.

Their opponents are the unexpected pairing of Junta Miyawaki & Rukiya. The two of them haven’t quite seen each other eye to eye when Miyawaki came into DDT at the start of the year. If the team doesn’t work out at least they can say they gave it a shot.

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

1. International Princess Title: MIRAI (c) Vs X
2. Princess Tag Team Titles: Yuki Kamifuku & Wakana Uehara (c) Vs X & X
3. Princess Of Princess Title: Miu Watanabe (c) Vs X

The results of “GRAND PRINCESS ’26” will have a big effect on the card TJPW will put together for their return to Las Vegas in April. They have at least confirmed there will be title matches for each of their three championships. That’s an interesting announcement in regards to the International Princess Title because MIRAI has not been announced for the show, nor has she taken any American bookings for around the same time. At least not yet anyway. It could just be that if she successfully defends the title at Sumo Hall it will then be confirmed she’ll be flying over. Otherwise this news might end up being a spoiler. There are “international talent” yet to be announced for the show. That detail could also describe The IInspiration if they end up winning the Princess Tag Team Titles at Sumo Hall.

2. Hyper Misao defeated Kira Summer with the Modified Chickenwing Face Lock (7:16).

5. Kaya Toribami defeated HIMAWARI with the Sento Choryu (10:13).
6. Miyu Yamashita & Arisu Endo defeated Toga & Ren Konatsu when Endo pinned Konatsu with the Ju no Okite (11:25).
7. Miu Watanabe, Yuki Kamifuku, Wakana Uehara & Suzume Vs Yuki Arai, Shoko Nakajima, Yuki Aino & Haru Kazashiro ended in a Time Limit Draw (20:00).

In just a few days time Tokyo Joshi Pro will be heading over to Texas and when they return, “GRAND PRINCESS ’26” will be just around the corner. So today was the last TJPW show in Japan before they go back to Sumo Hall on 29th March. The main event had a mixture of wrestlers from Ryogoku’s biggest matches in action. Yuki Arai teamed up with the ToJo Tokusatsu Club and was encouraged to form the base of their Megazord (to predictable results). Ober Eats and Suzume wanted to keep themselves sharp for their upcoming titles matches as well. But the final three minutes of the match belonged to Arai facing off against Miu Watanabe. The two fought to a stalemate with Watanabe powering out of the Scorpion Death Lock to give Arai a Giant Swing and Arai using her last gasp of strength to throw Watanabe down with the Full Nelson Buster. Both women were laid out after that exchange and the bell rang for the 20 minute time limit reaching its end. The two still wanted to continue wrestling each other after the match and had to be pulled apart by their teams.

After the match Watanabe told Arai she never thought they would become friends who could push each other to this level and become rivals. She wants them to have the best match TJPW can have on 29th March. Arai said she’s been watching Watanabe and her love for pro wrestling ever since Arai debuted five years ago. She’s happy to be called a rival but she thinks she can still do more. Arai is now determined to push herself forward even further so she won’t lose to Watanabe.

Arisu Endo is getting annoyed that all the talk about her match at Sumo Hall is about Miyu Yamashita being in the ring with Sareee & Takumi Iroha. It’s bothering her how she is being left out of the conversation. It motivated her to pick up the win for her team today and to do that again against Spark Rush. Yamashita thinks Endo is in good condition for the match and it is destiny for it to happen this way. She doesn’t think this matchup will ever happen again so she wants to enjoy it with all of her heart and soul. She also wants to win too which will make her and Endo enjoy it even more.

Today is Kaya Toribami’s last match under her current gimmick. The next time we will see her in the ring she will become Sakura Hattori. She said backstage after her match that in the five years of her career she has looked up to strong seniors and been supported by excellent juniors. Thanks to them all she was able to understand her own capabilities. She also got to wrestle her last match in this gimmick against HIMAWARI, the first junior she had a singles match with. She praised her too for also growing stronger and giving it her all today.

Pom Harajuku wanted to help out Mizuki for her preparations to fight Andreza Giant Panda at Sumo Hall. So Harajuku wrestled their match today dressed in an oversized panda costume. The inflated costume protected Harajuku from Mizuki’s strikes but it was also big enough to negatively effect Harajuku’s fast movements. Mizuki continued the running joke of her stealing Harajuku’s shoe and she tried to fit it onto her handle to make a replacement Pico Pico Hammer. But the moment she tried to swing it, the shoe flew off the handle into the audience. Mizuki then found the zip at the back of the costume and pulled it open, eventually forcing Harajuku to take it off completely. Mizuki grabbed the costume, hit her opponent in the face with it, stole her shoe again and pinned her with the Cutie Special.

After the match an unusual person appeared carrying the head of Mizuki’s Pico Pico Hammer. It was Mr. USA from New Nemuro Pro Wrestling, the home promotion of Andreza Giant Panda. Mizuki tried to get the hammer off him but he fought her off and took the rest of the hammer’s remains from her. He told Mizuki she now has no chance of beating Andreza without the hammer and left her in the ring where she had a small a hissyfit over her stuff getting stolen. However she said backstage she was able to beat “Pom-chan Panda” today so she will manage to find a way to beat Andreza at Sumo Hall.

Everyone in the 4 Way Match felt something was missing and it wasn’t until afterward that they noticed none of them had the Iron Man Heavymetalweight Title around. Mahiro Kiryu asked who currently has the belt and someone in the crowd answered Hisaya Imabayashi. Then Rika Tatsumi told her that she saw him working at the merchandise booth earlier. Chika Nanase went over to find him and bring him to the ring to explain himself. He was wearing a tracksuit jacket but Raku pulled it open to reveal he was wearing the Iron Man Title belt beneath it! Kiryu asked him to give it back but he refused because he is meant to defend it at the DDT 29th Anniversary show on 22nd March. If he were to lose it before then it would cause a lot of trouble. Kiryu then ordered everyone to attack him but in the chaos, everyone ended up stomping on Kiryu instead while Imabayashi escaped out of harm’s way. He declared he will defend the belt in DDT and will then stand in the ring at Sumo Hall as a champion for an all out war between DDT and TJPW! The reason for this is because TJPW pays him a full wage whenever he works here while DDT only gives him a fixed monthly salary no matter how much work he does for them. Backstage Tatsumi said she will make Kiryu go and get the title back before Sumo Hall. Mifu Ashida cheered for Kiryu to do her best.

Something that Kira Summer had wanted for a long time was a singles match with Hyper Misao because she has a lot of respect for her. So much so that she was prepared for Misao’s tricks, like putting on goggles to protect her eyes from the Hero Spray. She was able to pull Summer’s goggles off and spray her in the eyes anyway. Misao used a Camel Clutch version of the Chickenwing Face Lock to win the match.

The new championship belts for the Princess Of Princess Title, the International Princess Title and the Princess Tag Team Titles were put on display at the show.

Tokyo Mitsui Outlet Park Tama Minamiosawa

1. MOP Tag Team Titles: X & X Vs X & X

A new business deal has been put together this year for DDT to hold wrestling shows at different Mitsui Outlet Park shopping centers. As part of this deal a new championship has been created to be exclusively defended at these shows. The inaugural MOP Tag Team Champions will be crowned at the first show being held at the end of the month. There will be at least two other shows as part of the tour happening in April.

2. DDT Extreme Title: To-y (c) Vs X
3. KO-D Openweight Title: Yuki Ueno (c) Vs X

One of the memorable interactions that happened at last year’s Toru Yano Vs Super Sasadango Machine one match show was Antonio Honda and YOH bonding over a Gongitsune joke. YOH has a hatred of foxes going back to when he was bitten by one as a child but Honda got him to join in with telling the joke. Now almost one year later they will meet in the ring again, this time one on one against each other in a wrestling match!

1. Gathering! The Three Unagi Siblings! ~In One Pond~ Special 6-Man Tag Match: Unagi Mask, Super Unagi Mask & Unagi Mask Woman Vs Aja Kong, Chris Brookes & Antonio Honda

DDT also has their sponsorship with Yamada Suisan going on for another year. The seafood wrestling storyline has taken a turn with the appearance of Unagi Mask Woman. She was said to be just a Yamada Suisan employee who wanted to become a pro wrestler but the real story is that she, Unagi Mask and Super Unagi Mask are all siblings who spent their lives near each other without ever knowing about it! The family needs to be a united force because Chris Brookes & Antonio Honda have formed an alliance with Aja Kong to wipe out the sea food loving wrestlers!

Jada Stone made several appearances in TJPW throughout 2025 but a knee injury in September cancelled her tour of Japan. That was the last we heard of her in regards to TJPW. But she’s still been wrestling around America and has appeared on some TNA tapings lately. Next she will get to step back into the TJPW ring while they are in Texas.
