GM Wars Intensify, Princess Cup Quater Finals, Upcoming Max Title Matches

August 4, 2026

DDT “MEMORIES OF SUMMER VACATION 2026”, 05/08/2026
Shinjuku FACE

0. Dark Match: Soma Takao & Hinata Kasai Vs Tomomitsu Matsunaga & MBM
1. Kazuma Sumi & Yuki Ishida Vs Jun Akiyama & Rukiya
2. Sanshiro Takagi, Naomi Yoshimura & Hisaya Imabayashi Vs Ilusion, MJ Paul & Tetsuya Koda
3. Daisuke Sasaki & Hideki Okatani Vs Shunma Katsumata & Masami Inahata
4. Special Single Match: Danshoku Dieno Vs Kazuki Hirata
5. Special 6-Man Tag Match: Chris Brookes, HARASHIMA & Antonio Honda Vs Shinya Aoki, Junta Miyawaki & Akito
6. Special 10-Man Tag Match: Yuki Ueno, Takeshi Masada, Yuya Koroku, Daichi Sato & To-y Vs MAO, KANON, Yuki Iino, Yukio Naya & Viento Levante (w/ KIMIHIRO & YUZUKI)

The Tokyo Idol Festival is over and Tetsuya Koda has come out of it as the Iron Man Heavymetalweight Champion. The Tokyo Joshi Pro boss pulling off this stunt does not impress the DDT GM Hisaya Imabayashi. The two authority figures have been at each other’s throats on and off for years. The Iron Man Champion is meant to be wrestling on tomorrow’s DDT show which means Koda now has to take part. Such an idea is insulting to Imabayashi so he is adding himself to the match in response to this so he can teach Koda a lesson that DDT is not the place for amateurs in their fifties!

Going into tomorrow’s show the Right To Challenge holders are Shunma Katsumata (Red), Viento Levante (Blue) and KANON (Purple).

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “THE 13TH TOKYO PRINCESS CUP”, 08/08/2026
Tokyo Ryogoku KFC Hall

1. Miu Watanabe & Ren Konatsu Vs Wakana Uehara & Momo Sato
2. Miyu Yamashita, Sakura Hattori, Haru Kazashiro & Chika Nanase Vs Yuki Kamifuku, Raku, Shino Suzuki & Uta Takami
3. Yuki Arai, Mifu Ashida & Shion Kanzaki Vs Mizuki, Mahiro Kiryu & Pom Harajuku
4. 13th Tokyo Princess Cup – Quarter Final: Suzume Vs Shoko Nakajima
5. 13th Tokyo Princess Cup – Quarter Final: Toga Vs Yuki Aino
6. 13th Tokyo Princess Cup – Quarter Final: Arisu Endo Vs HIMAWARI
7. 13th Tokyo Princess Cup – Quarter Final: Rika Tatsumi Vs Hyper Misao

We’re currently on a little break from the Tokyo Princess Cup until it resumes with the Quarter Finals this weekend. Rika Tatsumi and Hyper Misao are back in the ring against each other so soon after their Princess Tag Team Titles feud last month. The other end of the bracket has Suzume against Shoko Nakajima in what is sure to be a barnburner. HIMAWARI can set off a Cinderella run if she can defeat last year’s finalist Arisu Endo. The same could be said for Toga if her frozen demeaner doesn’t melt against Yuki Aino’s fire. After this round the brackets will get jumbled up for the final four which makes predicting this round a little bit more difficult than it looks on paper.

DDT “KANDA MYOJIN CULTURAL EXCHANGE PRESENTS AFTER PETER PAN ~RYOGOKU AFTER PARTY~”, 17/08/2026
Tokyo Kanda Myojin Hall

1. New Generation Variety Team Discovery Audition Match: Danshoku Dieno Vs Kazuki Hirata Vs Antonio Honda Vs Kazuma Sumi Vs Yuki Ishida Vs Rukiya Vs Masami Inahata Vs Hinata Kasai
2. Super Sasadango Machine Title: Super Sasadango Machine (c) Vs Ilusion

I think there have been times in the past when Muscle Sakai would defend the championship belt he wears around his waist but I can’t remember a time when Super Sasadango Machine has ever done it in DDT. That changes when the belt labelled King Of Sasadango it put on the line against Ilusion.

The DDT comedy wrestlers are looking for new additions to their “Variety Team”. They are holding an audition and it is mandatory for the wrestlers they invited to take part in it.

This DDT show is going to be a small one because it is more like a fan event with some matches taking place rather than a full on wrestling show. Only one more match is planned to be added to the card.

BASARA “BASARA 314 ~UTAGE~”, 21/08/2026
Shin-Kiba 1st RING

1. Union MAX Title: Takumi Tsukamoto (c) Vs Daiki Shimomura

The new Union MAX Champion already has challengers lined up for him. When Takumi Tsukamoto held a 7-match Gauntlet to prepare himself for his title shot the only wrestler he dropped a fall to was Daiki Shimomura. Now is the time for Shimomura to call his shot and get a title match with his former tag team partner.

BAKA GAIJIN + FRIENDS “FUCKED UP FEST 2026”, 22/08/2026
Tokyo Oji BASEMENT MONSTAR

1. SEKIFUDA 1 YEAR OF BAKA ~ Special Single Match: Kota Sekifuda Vs Minoru Suzuki
2. Hardcore Tag Match: MAO & Shunma Katsumata Vs Jun Kasai & Chris Brookes

Just imagine the mess everyone will have to clean up after the Hardcore Match. Jun Kasai takes part in his first “FUCKED UP FEST” to join Chris Brookes so they can fight ShunMao together.

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “THE 13TH TOKYO PRINCESS CUP”, 23/08/2026
Tokyo Korakuen Hall

1. Yuki Kamifuku & Wakana Uehara Vs Sumire Natsu & Mifu Ashida
2. 13th Tokyo Princess Cup – Final: X Vs X

This doesn’t look like it would be a tough challenge for Ober Eats. After all, Yuki Kamifuku already knows how effective it is to use makeup remover against opponents who are caked in the stuff. Sumire Natsu is like 80% makeup and 20% human at this point! Best stick Wakana Uehara and Mifu Ashida in there to make sure things don’t get too catty between Kamiyu and Natsu.

BASARA “SHINJUKU FACE COUNTDOWN SERIES – BASARA 316 ~KOO~”, 23/09/2026
Shinjuku FACE

1. Union MAX Title: Takumi Tsukamoto (c) Vs Ryota Nakatsu

The winner of the 21st August title match will go on to defend the MAX Title against Ryota Nakatsu at BASARA’s final show to be held inside Shinjuku FACE. The show is happening on the first day of the Shinjuku FACE Countdown Series, a list of wrestling events happening in the final days of the venue’s existence. They will be on after Sendai Girls that day.

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “LOVE AND PEACE TIF PRO WRESTLING 2026 – DAY 3” Results

August 2, 2026

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “LOVE & PEACE TIF PRO WRESTLING 2026 -MORNING SESSION-”, 02/08/2026
Tokyo TIF Pro Wrestling Special Ring At TOKYO IDOL FESTIVAL 2026 – Greeting Area
??? Fans – Unannounced

1. Shoko Nakajima & Yuki Aino defeated Wakana Uehara & Momo Sato when Nakajima pinned Sato with the Northern Lights Suplex (9:30).
2. Miyu Yamashita, Sakura Hattori & Marika Kobashi (w/ Marina Kumamoto) defeated HIMAWARI, Toga & Chika Nanase (w/ Sayonara Stay Tuned & ChumToto) when Yamashita pinned Nanase with the Attitude Adjustment (13:01).
-. Iron Man Heavymetalweight Title: Marina Kumamoto defeated Miyu Yamashita (c) with a Body Press (12:18 pm).
*Marina Kumamoto becomes the 1,870th champion.
-. Iron Man Heavymetalweight Title: Miyu Yamashita defeated Marina Kumamoto (c) by Forfeit after Yamashita’s Skillful Negotiation Tactics (12:23 pm).
*Miyu Yamashita becomes the 1,871st champion.

The final day of the Tokyo Idol Festival had everyone in Tokyo Joshi Pro looking for excuses to cool down. Several of the matches held throughout the day turned into water fights and the wrestlers also advised the fans to stay hydrated so they could enjoy the festival to its fullest.

It looked like Miyu Yamashita would last through the day without worrying about anybody taking the Iron Man Heavymetalweight Title from her but at the end of the morning session everybody in the ring piled on top of her to try and win it. Yamashita was pinned and when the bodies all seperated it turned out that Marina Kumamoto from Niji no Conquistador was directly on top of Yamashita for the pinfall and was now the champion. Yamashita then successfully convinced her to forefit the title back to her because Kumamoto was paranoid that one of the other ten members of Niji no Conquistador would attack her for the belt during their one of their live performances.

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “LOVE & PEACE TIF PRO WRESTLING 2026 -AFTERNOON SESSION-”, 02/08/2026
Tokyo TIF Pro Wrestling Special Ring At TOKYO IDOL FESTIVAL 2026 – Greeting Area
??? Fans – Unannounced

1. Yuki Arai, Arisu Endo & Haru Kazashiro defeated Mizuki, Yuki Kamifuku & Shion Kanzaki when Arai submitted Kanzaki with the Scorpion Death Lock (9:43).
2. Miu Watanabe & Uta Takami (w/ Aya Kajishima) defeated Raku & Pom Harajuku (w/ Ayura Amano) when Watanabe pinned Harajuku with the Tear Drop (11:28).
-. Iron Man Heavymetalweight Title: Recorder defeated Raku (c) by Pinfall after Aya Kajishima played a Lullaby with her nose on the Recorder (4:39 pm).
*Recorder becomes the 1,873rd champion.
-. Iron Man Heavymetalweight Title: Aya Kajishima defeated Recorder (c) by Pinfall (4:40 pm).
*Aya Kajishima becomes the 1,874th champion.
-. Iron Man Heavymetalweight Title: Pom Harajuku defeated Aya Kajishima (c) with a Shin Kick (4:41 pm).
*Pom Harajuku becomes the 1,875th champion.
-. Iron Man Heavymetalweight Title: Tetsuya Koda defeated Pom Harajuku (c) with the Ultra-Low Altitude Finally (6:01 pm).
*Tetsuya Koda becomes the 1,876th champion.

Another title change happened during the downtime in between shows. Raku found Yamashita backstage looking tired so she lulled her into taking a nap with a lullaby and pinned her to win the title. Raku then wanted to sing a lullaby after the main event so Aya Kajishima from The Up Up Girls (2) played her a tune using her nose on a recorder. The music made Raku lie down and Kajishima suddenly pinned her by pressing her down with the recorder. She thought she won the title but instead the referee decided the Recorder is the champion instead! Kajishima quickly pinned the Recorder to win the belt but Pom Harajuku then Shin Kicked her to win the title for herself.

Later that evening when all of the wrestling shows were completed, Harajuku was ready to go home. But as she was leaving the locker room, Pokotan appeared and attacked her, using the Ultra-Low Altitude Finally to pin her and take the championship. However Pokotan then removed its head in front of the referee to reveal it was actually Tetsuya Koda in disguise!

Miu Watanabe brought back The Giant Swing Experience Project from Day 1 and invited Niikura Ami from The Up Up Girls (2) to take part. Watanabe spun her around seven times which was a surprise for Ami because she was told she was only getting five spins. Watanabe said she got extra spins to get her in the mood for her singing performance later.

1. Sakura Hattori & Toga defeated Wakana Uehara & Chika Nanase when Hattori submitted Nanase with the Shinden Fudo Ryu Majime Ura (8:36).
2. 9-Woman Delayed Entry Battle Royal: Pom Harajuku defeated Uta Takami with the Pom de Justice (12:40).

-. Iron Man Heavymetalweight Title: Pom Harajuku defeated Reina Seiji (c) with a School Boy (12:24 pm).
*Pom Harajuku becomes the 1,862nd champion.

Day two of Tokyo Joshi Pro’s stay at the Tokyo Idol Festival continued the mayhem brought along by the Iron Man Heavymetalweight Title. When yesterday came to an end the champion was Mone Kitazawa from NGT48. But when she entered the venue at the start of Day 2 Pom Harajuku put her in a Sleeper Hold to win the title. Harajuku then went on to beat the odds and successfully defend the belt in a Battle Royal. That match also featured the wrestling debut of NGT48’s Reina Seiji and she ended up winning the title from Harajuku after the match thanks to some help from Shoko Nakajima. Harajuku quickly won it back with a Shin Kick and a School Boy before running off with the belt. But doing that in the heat made Harajuku tired so she got a drink and fell asleep on the ground. The referee saw the bottle resting on top of Harajuku and counted the pin to make the Soft Drink the new champion!

Seiji spoke about her debut to reporters after the morning event. She’s been an idol for 12 years and has done plenty of different things but TJPW opened up the door for her to open up a path into pro wrestling. At first she was just doing commentary on TJPW shows but then she was told she would be doing a match! She had a costume made just for today but she hopes to get another chance to wear it again some day. She also would like to win back the Iron Man Title so she can bring it to Niigata and show it to her fans over there.

In between the early matches, there was a Rock Paper Scissors challenge between TJPW and the idol group NGT48. It was a three versus three series of games and the TJPW team crushed their opposition. Haru Kazashiro, Ren Konatsu and Miyu Yamashita won all three contests against the idols.

1. Hyper Misao & Haru Kazashiro (w/ Rio Ohmori) defeated Yuki Arai & Shino Suzuki (w/ Zahrachahiyoni Saito) when Misao pinned Suzuki with the Hypami Returns (8:19).
-. Iron Man Heavymetalweight Title: Rio Ohmori defeated Zahrachahiyoni Saito (c) by Forfeit (3:29 pm).

-. Iron Man Heavymetalweight Title: Mahiro Kiryu defeated Hyper Misao (c) with a Roll Up (3:31 pm).
*Mahiro Kiryu becomes the 1,867th champion.
2. 6-Animal Tag Match: Miyu Yamashita, Mahiro Kiryu & Tama defeated Mizuki, Raku & Ren Konatsu when Kiryu pinned Konatsu with the Spinebuster (11:07).
-. Iron Man Heavymetalweight Title: Tama defeated Mahiro Kiryu (c) with a Knife Attack (4:37 pm).
*Tama becomes the 1,868th champion.
-. Iron Man Heavymetalweight Title: Miyu Yamashita defeated Tama (c) by Submission when Tama was intimidated by Yamashita’s presence (4:38 pm).
*Miyu Yamashita becomes the 1,869th champion.

Things got even crazier with the Iron Man Title during the afternoon session. Zahrachahiyoni Saito from fishbowl found the Soft Drink backstage and drank it to unintentionally become the new champion. Saito then appeared for one of the wrestling matches where Hyper Misao plotted to somehow give the belt to Rio Ohmori from Ma’Scar’Piece. She dared Saito to forfeit the title over to Ohmori if Misao’s team wins the match. Saito agreed to the terms after Misao accused her of not trusting her own team. Misao ended up winning the match and Saito lived up to her word, making Ohmori the champ. Misao then immediately grabbed Ohmori into a Sleeper Hold so she could win the title. But before she could even celebrate, Mahiro Kiryu appeared and rolled up Misao to take the belt and claim it belongs to her forever!

Yeah that didn’t last long. Kiryu was in the main event of the afternoon show teaming up with Miyu Yamashita and a mascot named Tama. The mascot’s gimmick is supposed to be teaching people about different part time jobs. Why it decided to show up to the match carrying a kitchen knife I have no idea! The referee warned Tama not to use the knife but it held onto it while giving the other team Lariats. Kiryu won the match for her team and thanked Tama for its help. But after the group photo took place to end the show, Tama stabbed Kiryu with the knife and then pinned her to win the Iron Man Title! Yamashita then fought with Tama and disarmed the mascot. She then intimidated Tama with the knife until it gave up. Yamashita now holds the title and fought off Pokotan backstage later in the evening to remain the champion going into tomorrow’s final day at the festival.

DDT Around The World – July 2026

August 1, 2026

Summer vacation season can be different things to different people. For Kira Summer it is an opportunity for her to fly home to Australia, reunite with the family and also get into fights with some of them. For Konosuke Takeshita it is a chance for him to drop a championship before heading into the most gruelling of wrestling tournaments. The likes of Miyu Yamashita, Yuki Kamifuku and Mizuki are happy to wait until summer is over and the weather gets cooler before they go off on their next adventures. And by the time people start getting ready for Christmas we have Tokyo Joshi Pro setting up another tour of Texas for everyone to look forward to.

AEW “DYNAMITE – BEACH BREAK”, 08/07/2026
The BayCare Sound At Coachman Park, Clearwater, Florida, USA

1. AEW International Title: Kyle Fletcher defeated Konosuke Takeshita (c) with the Brainbustaaaaahhhhh!!!!! (16:45).
*Konosuke Takeshita fails in V4. Kyle Fletcher becomes the 14th AEW International Champion!

Takeshita had some business to attend to in AEW before he could get over to New Japan for his G1 tour. The bad blood he has with Kyle Fletcher had the two fighting over AEW International Title. Big bombs were thrown between the two of them leading to a fight on the ring apron where Takeshita gave Fletcher the Bastard Driver as well as the Wheelbarrow Suplex. However Fletcher cut off the PowerDrive Knee by giving Takeshita the Michinoku Driver for a nearfall. Takeshita used a Last Ride to put Fletcher back in position for the PowerDrive Knee but Don Callis then grabbed Takeshita by the ankle at ringside to distract him. Fletcher’s cheap shot turned things around until Takeshita gave him the Raging Fire. Unfortunately he was too hurt to pin him immediately and the pause allowed Fletcher to recover enough to place his leg on the ropes for the pin break. Fletcher rolled out of a Backslide Pin to kick Takeshita right in his arm. He then did the Vertical Drop Brainbuster but Takeshita kicked out. So Fletcher had to lift him up to the top rope where he gave him the El Generico style Brainbuster onto the turnbuckle! That put Takeshita down for the count and made Fletcher the new champion.


ACW “HEART OF WAR”, 18/07/2026
Estonian Hall, North Adelaide, Australia

1. Sister Vs Sister: Kira Summer defeated Miki Fortune with an Inside Cradle (?:??).

Who could have guessed coming home would cause so much family drama? Kira Summer’s first match in Australia since joining TJPW put her in the ring against her own sister Miki Fortune at an Adelaide Championship Wrestling show. First Summer asked for a handshake before the match began but Fortune slapped her hand away. Then a hard Elbow Strike by Fortune from a tie-up sent the message to Summer that her sister wasn’t going to hold back against her. Fortune ended up losing her temper when Summer kicked out of a Draping Double Stomp over the corner. She argued with the referee over it and then pulled him into the way when Summer charged in for a Clothesline. With the ref knocked out, Fortune kept doing Double Stomps onto Summer until she realised nobody was around to count the pin. Drama continued to unfold when another member of the family, an unnamed sister of both Kira and Miki got to the front row yelling at Fortune to stop. Fortune slapped her and pulled her over the railing all while their mother was watching on too! Summer dived onto Fortune from the ring apron, made sure the other relatives were okay and brought Fortune back into the ring to continue the match. Fortune took Summer into a Dragon Sleeper but was kicked back into the ropes. On the rebound Summer rolled Fortune over with an Inside Cradle to get the victory.


PEAK PRO “PUNK FICTION”, 31/07/2026
Steam Jacket Brewing, Melbourne, Australia

1. From Japan, With Love: Tarlee Vs Kira Summer

I haven’t been able to get results for this match yet. At the end of the month Summer was brought into Peak Pro Wrestling as a special opponent for someone. Tarlee recently got engaged to LDeezy after beating him in a ladder match so as an engagement gift, Deezy got Tarlee a match against a joshi wrestler. He brought in Summer thinking it would be a first time matchup for Tarlee but didn’t know that the two of them had previously fought each other in Malaysia last year. It was a 4 Way Match that Tarlee won by pinning Summer so this was a chance for Summer to avenge that result.

Upcoming Appearances


RIOT CITY “MEAN ST MAYHEM – FROM RIOT WITH LOVE”, 01/08/2026
Steam Jacket Brewing, Melbourne, Australia

1. Miki Fortune & Zak Sabbath Vs Kira Summer & Havok

Tell you what, if I can get the result for this match on the day I post this article I’ll move it up to the Results section. That will work out better than waiting a month to write about what might be the last match of Summer’s Australian tour. If it turns out she has more matches over there during August then never mind what I just wrote. Given what just happened between the sisters in ACW, having their next match in a company called Riot City Wrestling sounds a bit for fitting. Zak Sabbath and Havok both look like they would often get themselves involved in causing a ruckus too.


EVE “EVE X THE WORLD 2”, 28/08/2026
Big Penny Social, London, England

1. EVE International Title: Miyu Yamashita (c) Vs Kay Lee Ray

One of the gatekeepers of British women’s wrestling is waiting for Miyu Yamashita’s return to EVE this August. Kay Lee Ray and that bloody entrance song of hers is back on the indies after a long stay in WWE as Alba Fyre. She hasn’t wasted any time and quickly earned herself a shot at the EVE International Title that Yamashita currently holds.


KITSUNE “KAMIYU GOES HOLLYWOOD”, 30/08/2026
Xander Sports Complex, Carson, California, USA

1. Yuki Kamifuku Vs X

Later this summer Yuki Kamifuku’s retirement road is going to bring her back to the USA. Unfortunately it does not look like she will get to visit Ohio during this time but I doubt she’s going to complain about travelling to California either. Kitsune are bringing her in to the bright lights of Hollywood for what could be her last non-TJPW US date of her career. However it probably won’t be the last time she wrestles in America given what TJPW’s plans are for the end of the year.


SPW “OVERDRIVE”, 18/09/2026
Foo Chow Building, Singapore

1. Mizuki Vs X

Do you want to know the other wrestler that Singapore Pro Wrestling has booked alongside Mizuki for this show so far? Lio Rush in his current “Blackheart” gimmick. The match to make is right there, people!

*Amanda becomes the 1,848th champion.

This weekend Tokyo Joshi Pro has a major presence at the Tokyo Idol Festival with a series of mini shows taking place across three days. Each show featured two TJPW matches with some special guests involved alongside some idol performances. The inclusion of the Iron Man Heavymetalweight Title to the proceedings created a lot of havoc throughout the day with multiple title changes happening inside and outside of the ring.

The morning show featured a Battle Royal that was won by the current champion Raku. She told the fans afterwards that the ring felt so hot under the sun it feels like she’s going to turn into yakiniku. Then when the group photo to end the session was finished, Pom Harajuku tried to roll up Raku to win the title. Raku kicked out only to get rolled up by Marika Kobashi outside the ring where there was a three count. She celebrated with KLP48 member Amanda who made her wrestling debut earlier in the show on the Battle Royal. Suddenly Kobashi tripped over Raku on the floor and Amanda jumped on top of her to become the new champ!

Later backstage Mifu Ashida approached Amanda and kept shaking her pom poms over her face while celebrating her title win. A referee stepped in asking Amanda if she wanted to give up and she agreed. That meant Ashida was now the champion.

*Pokotan becomes the 1,856th champion.

For the afternoon session of the show, Ashida was pinned by Shoko Nakajima in the main event for another title change. Hyper Misao then betrayed her partner after the match to win the title from her. They had a tug of war over the belt that ended with Nakajima letting go and Misao hitting herself on the head and falling over. The NEO JAPANISM idol Ai Asakura jumped on top of Misao and had several wresters help her pin Misao to win the title. After that, Ashida spoke to Asakura on the microphone and tricked her into saying she was giving up the title to her. The referee counted that as a submission and made Ashida the champ. Another fight broke out among the wrestlers and Nakajima grabbed Shiori Futaba from Congrazie! to make her kick Ashida and then pin her so Futaba became the champ. Nakajima then bit Futaba’s arm until she gave up so Nakajima won the title. She remained the champion until she approached the DDT mascot Pokotan backstage and got into a fight. Pokotan knocked out Nakajima with a Headbutt and pinned her to win the belt.

Even more title changes happened later in the evening. Pokotan crashed a Niji no Conquistador that featured some TJPW wrestlers as guests and wanted to challenge the idols to a dance off. Karin Matoba accepted the challenge but during the contest Pokotan tripped and fell over. Matoba was encouraged to pin the mascot and did so to win the title. Pokotan later attacked Matoba backstage by placing its mascot head over her, scaring her into submission. However the referee decided that it was Pokotan’s Head that was now the champion rather than Pokotan itself. Then Mone Kitazawa from NGT48 found the head backstage and reached down to touch it with both her hands. A referee saw this and counted to three, declaring Kitazawa as the champion to end the day.

One of the segments between matches was called The Giant Swing Experience Project. Miu Watanabe was called into the ring to give a idol the Giant Swing. She chose Shiori Futaba from Congrazie! to take part and swung her around for five rotations. Watanabe was so pleased with it she said it was the best Giant Swing she’s ever done under a blue sky. Futaba called the experience a valuable opportunity and she appreciated being able to take part.

3. Rika Tatsumi, Arisu Endo, Wakana Uehara & Uta Takami defeated Hyper Misao, Raku, HIMAWARI & Mifu Ashida when Tatsumi pinned Ashida with the Sliding Hip (10:36).
4. 13th Tokyo Princess Cup – Round 2: Toga defeated Mahiro Kiryu with the Absolute Zero (7:57).
5. 13th Tokyo Princess Cup – Round 2: Suzume defeated Pom Harajuku with the Ring A Bell (9:23).
6. 13th Tokyo Princess Cup – Round 2: Yuki Aino defeated Miu Watanabe with the Full Nelson Of Love And Fire Z (9:23).
7. 13th Tokyo Princess Cup – Round 2: Shoko Nakajima defeated Yuki Arai with a Scorpion Death Lock Counter (15:32).

The second round of the Tokyo Princess Cup ends with its two of its biggest favorites both eliminated! The reigning Princess Of Princess Champion is gone after Yuki Arai suffered a close defeat against Shoko Nakajima. Arai pulled out something big for the match, using a Twisting Superplex off the top rope. She also blocked Nakajima from doing the Locomotion Northern Lights Suplex before switching to Big Boots to try and keep her opponent down. Nakajima took the attacks and turned things around with a Frankensteiner followed by the 619. She looked to have made a grave mistake when she went for the Diving Senton and Arai rolled out of the way. Arai then went to apply the Scorpion Death Lock but Nakajima grabbed hold of her and cradled her into a pinfall for the three count. After the match Nakajima talked about recently turning 35 years old and it’s getting more difficult for her to win as both she and Tokyo Joshi Pro grow older. But fighting Arai today reminds her of how fun TJPW is. Right now she just wants to go home and sleep but tomorrow TJPW has an entire weekend of matches happening at the Tokyo Idol Festival outside in the blazing sun. Meanwhile Arai is disappointed she won’t make the final four of the tournament like she’s often done in the past. It’s also her first singles loss of the year. She thinks she hasn’t defended the Princess Title enough so she will train like crazy while waiting for the eventual Princess Cup winner to challenge her.

Last year’s Princess Cup winner Miu Watanabe is out too! Yuki Aino is the one who can claim to have beaten the unstoppable monster princess by adapting her finishing move into an improved version. She got Watanabe in the Full Nelson Of Love And Fire but Watanabe fought her hardest to try and break out of it. Aino was able to keep her opponent in the hold and drag her down to the mat where she tangled her up even more until Watanabe gave up. Aino calls this version of the move the Full Nelson Of Love And Fire Z because it is the ultimate form of her finisher so the letter Z was the only suitable thing she could add to the end of it. Watanabe said she was confident going into the match because she has beaten Aino more often than she’s lost to her. She is sad over losing but wants everyone to know this cannot be the end of the monster princess and she will always be one forever!

Pom Harajuku was going to hunt for bees today and tried to fight off Suzume with a butterfly net and a small insect cage. When she quickly realised those tools weren’t going to work she ran off and returned in a full beekeeping outfit! She chased Suzume around ringside with a large net and eventually caught her. She then dragged Suzume over to the timekeeper’s table where she taped her hands to the stage in an attempt to have her counted out. Suzume was able to free herself and get back in the ring with little trouble. In the meantime Harajuku took off the beekeeper suit and forced Uta Takami to wear it as a decoy. Suzume fell for the trick and tried to grab Takami, thinking it was Harajuku. The School Boy from the actual Harajuku afterwards only got a two count and Suzume quickly took control back of the match. Harajuku put the suit back on one more time and took a big swing with the net but Suzume dodged it, pulled the outfit over Harajuku’s face to blind her and then hit the Ring A Bell to win the match. Suzume will face Shoko Nakajima in the Quarter Finals. She remembers losing to Nakajima in the 1st Round a few years ago (2023) and said it was a match where she felt she really evolved at the time. She wants to grow even bigger so she won’t lose to the Big Kaiju. Harajuku explained she only wanted to study Suzume for her summer vacation project and she would have killed two birds with one stone if she won the match as well. It was an upgraded tactic of something she used against Suzume before but she didn’t think Suzume would have been upgraded as well. So the next time they fight Harajuku says she’ll bring a flamethrower to beat Suzume!

Waiting for Yuki Aino in the Quarter Finals is Toga. She took Mahiro Kiryu’s best shot and has now reached the furthest she has ever gotten in the tournament. Kiryu’s blew her big chance when she tried to do the Apology Knee Drop from the second rope Vader Bomb style. Toga got out of the way and then countered the Spinebuster into the Absolute Zero for the win. Toga is happy to have surpassed one of her seniors but expects Aino to be a tougher opponent. She doesn’t like the heat while Aino is all about being passionate like fire. Maybe Toga will need to absorb that passion in order to advance further. Kiryu said her theme for the tournament was “Now’s The Time!” Except she never seized the moment and she only has herself to blame.

Hyper Misao based her strategy for today’s 8-Woman Tag Match on her Quarter Final opponent Rika Tatsumi. She was once told by someone she respects that the most important thing for pro wrestlers is 90% the ring entrance and 10% the match itself. So Misao’s team would attack and dispose of Tatsumi’s tag partners when they enter the ring one by one, leaving Tatsumi in a 4 Vs 1 disadvantage. Tatsumi’s team were ambushed and trapped underneath the ring apron while Misao’s team went wild on Tatsumi. She was eventually able to find her team and free them so the match could continue on as a fair fight. Tatsumi won the match and afterward tried to pin Raku for the Iron Man Heavymetalweight Title as they were all leaving ringside. Raku kicked out and escaped with the belt. Raku later told reporters she is looking forward to the Tokyo Idol Festival this weekend because she wants to take a nap using the title as a pillow underneath the blue sky.

Today is Shino Suzuki’s first match back since taking a two month break for recovery reasons. Although she lost her match, everyone else involved were all happy to have her back.

A new match was made for the 23rd August Korakuen Hall show. Ober Eats will be getting back together so they can face the team of Mifu Ashida & Sumire Natsu!

At the moment Raku is currently the Iron Man Heavymetalweight Champion and so would have to take part in Match #3. DDT isn’t counting on her enough to remain champ by the time the show begins so the marketing for Match #3 is just whoever is champion on 5th August will be in the match teaming with Ilusion.

Shinjuku FACE Countdown Series

July 28, 2026

This September Shinjuku FACE will be closing down after 21 years of hosting wrestling shows and other events inside the heart of Tokyo’s nightlife. The final week of the venue’s business will consist of 12 shows from different wrestling promotions and personalities. It is called the Shinjuku FACE Countdown Series and below is the schedule of events for those who would like to keep track of it.

The final event is taking place on Shinjuku FACE’s last day of business. The show is being produced by DDT and CyberFight, similar to last year’s 20th Anniversary event. That was pretty much a glorified DDT lineup with special guests from other companies added in so I expect the series finale to be something along those lines.

TJPW At The Tokyo Idol Festival 2026 Schedule

July 27, 2026

During the end of July and the start of August Tokyo Joshi Pro will be involved quite heavily with the Tokyo Idol Festival. Over the course of three days there will be six TJPW events mixing pro wrestling and idol concerts together. Each portion will only consist of two wrestling matches each and there are a lot of unusual ideas going into all of them.

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “LOVE & PEACE TIF PRO WRESTLING 2026 – MORNING SESSION”, 31/07/2026
Tokyo TIF Pro Wrestling Special Ring At TOKYO IDOL FESTIVAL 2026 – Greeting Area

1. Suzume & Arisu Endo Vs Toga & Shion Kanzaki
2. 9-Woman Delayed Entry Battle Royal: Amanda Vs Marika Kobashi Vs Yuki Arai Vs Mizuki Vs Pom Harajuku Vs Mahiro Kiryu Vs Sakura Hattori Vs Wakana Uehara Vs Uta Takami

Some of the matches will have idols directly involved such as a Battle Royal featuring Amanda from KLP48. That match will also feature Marika Kobashi’s return to TJPW.

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “LOVE & PEACE TIF PRO WRESTLING 2026 – AFTERNOON SESSION”, 31/07/2026
Tokyo TIF Pro Wrestling Special Ring At TOKYO IDOL FESTIVAL 2026 – Greeting Area

1. Miu Watanabe & Rika Tatsumi Vs Haru Kazashiro & Chika Nanase
2. Miyu Yamashita, Mifu Ashida & Ren Konatsu (w/ Ai Asakura) Vs Shoko Nakajima, Hyper Misao & Yuki Aino (w/ Shiori Futaba)

Most of the idol appearances will have them accompanying some of the teams at ringside. Ai Asakura is from NEO JAPANISM while Shiori Futaba is from Congrazie!

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “LOVE & PEACE TIF PRO WRESTLING 2026 -MORNING SESSION-”, 01/08/2026
Tokyo TIF Pro Wrestling Special Ring At TOKYO IDOL FESTIVAL 2026 – Greeting Area

1. Sakura Hattori & Toga Vs Wakana Uehara & Chika Nanase
2. 9-Woman Delayed Entry Battle Royal: Reina Seiji Vs Shoko Nakajima Vs Rika Tatsumi Vs Miu Watanabe Vs Yuki Aino Vs Pom Harajuku Vs Arisu Endo Vs HIMAWARI Vs Uta Takami

It was previously announced that Reina Seiji from NGT48 would be taking part in her first ever wrestling match during the festival. Given how often TJPW scouts idols for future wrestlers you never know who will be next to jump on over.

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “LOVE & PEACE TIF PRO WRESTLING 2026 -AFTERNOON SESSION-”, 01/08/2026
Tokyo TIF Pro Wrestling Special Ring At TOKYO IDOL FESTIVAL 2026 – Greeting Area

1. Yuki Arai & Shino Suzuki (w/ Zahrachahiyoni Saito) Vs Hyper Misao & Haru Kazashiro (w/ Rio Ohmori)
2. 6-Animal Tag Match: Miyu Yamashita, Mahiro Kiryu & Tama Vs Mizuki, Raku & Ren Konatsu

There’s also a mascot showing up too! Tama is a bipedal seal and self-proclaimed social misfit from an educational TV series about working part time jobs. Apparantly one of Tama’s previous part-time jobs was with FC Machida Zelvia so there’s the CyberAgent connection coming into play. As for the other match Zahrachahiyoni Saito is from fishbowl and Rio Ohmori is from Ma’Scar’Piece.

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “LOVE & PEACE TIF PRO WRESTLING 2026 -MORNING SESSION-”, 02/08/2026
Tokyo TIF Pro Wrestling Special Ring At TOKYO IDOL FESTIVAL 2026 – Greeting Area

1. Shoko Nakajima & Yuki Aino Vs Wakana Uehara & Momo Sato
2. Miyu Yamashita, Sakura Hattori & Marika Kobashi (w/ Marina Kumamoto) Vs HIMAWARI, Toga & Chika Nanase (w/ Sayonara Stay Tuned & ChumToto)

Despite also being an idol, it seems Momo Sato will only be wrestling one time during the entire festival. Marina Kumamoto is from Niji no Conquistador. That is the idol unit Miyu Yamashita had to go train with before “GRAND PRINCESS ’26” earlier this year. Sayonara Stay Tuned and ChumToto are both idol units so one side of the ring is going to be pretty crowded during that match.

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “LOVE & PEACE TIF PRO WRESTLING 2026 -AFTERNOON SESSION-”, 02/08/2026
Tokyo TIF Pro Wrestling Special Ring At TOKYO IDOL FESTIVAL 2026 – Greeting Area

1. Yuki Arai, Arisu Endo & Haru Kazashiro Vs Mizuki, Yuki Kamifuku & Shion Kanzaki
2. Miu Watanabe & Uta Takami (w/ Aya Kajishima) Vs Raku & Pom Harajuku (w/ Ayura Amano)

Both Aya Kajishima and Ayura Amano are from The Up Up Girls (2), one of the other branches of the idol brand.

Wrestle Peter Pan Lineup, Shinjuku’s Last Fighting Beer Garden, F’ed Up Fest III

July 27, 2026

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “THE 13TH TOKYO PRINCESS CUP”, 08/08/2026
Tokyo Ryogoku KFC Hall

1. 13th Tokyo Princess Cup – Quarter Final: Rika Tatsumi Vs Hyper Misao
2. 13th Tokyo Princess Cup – Quarter Final: Arisu Endo Vs HIMAWARI
3. 13th Tokyo Princess Cup – Quarter Final: Winner Of Match 2E Vs Winner Of Match 2F
4. 13th Tokyo Princess Cup – Quarter Final: Winner Of Match 2G Vs Winner Of Match 2H

Four spaces in the Quarter Finals have been taken, four more are left to be filled. We’ll find out who is joining Rika Tatsumi, Hyper Misao, Arisu Endo and HIMAWARI on Thursday.

DDT “WRESTLE PETER PAN 2026”, 11/08/2026
Tokyo Ryogoku Kokugikan

1. Iron Man Heavymetalweight Title – Time Delayed Entry Battle Royal: Raku (c) Vs Yuki Iino Vs Toru Owashi Vs Akito Vs Soma Takao Vs Fuminori Abe Vs Naomi Yoshimura Vs Super Sasadango Machine Vs MJ Paul Vs Ilusion Vs Yuni Vs Yuki Ishida Vs Masami Inahata
2. Special Tag Match: Minoru Suzuki & Sanshiro Takagi Vs Kazuki Hirata & To-y
3. Hinata Kasai 1st Anniversary Debut Match ~ Special Tag Match: Jun Kasai & Hinata Kasai Vs Jun Akiyama & Rukiya
4. KO-D 6-Man Tag Team Titles: Takeshi Masada, Yuya Koroku & Daichi Sato (c) Vs KANON, Yukio Naya & Viento Levante (w/ KIMIHIRO & YUZUKI)
5. KO-D Tag Team Titles: Chris Brookes & HARASHIMA (c) Vs Shinya Aoki & Junta Miyawaki
6. Special Single Match: YAMATO Vs Danshoku Dieno
7. Special Tag Match: Daisuke Sasaki & DOUKI Vs Antonio Honda & Tetsuya Endo
8. DDT Extreme Title: Hideki Okatani (c) Vs Shunma Katsumata
9. DDT Universal Title: Kazuma Sumi (c) Vs Ryusuke Taguchi
10. Dramatic Dream Match: KONOSUKE TAKESHITA Vs Kaisei Takechi
11. KO-D Openweight Title – Goodcom Asset Presents: Yuki Ueno (c) Vs MAO

This is the full lineup for “WRESTLE PETER PAN 2026” but the match order has not been decided yet outside of the main event. Yuki Ueno got one over on MAO this past weekend by making him tap out to a Sleeper Hold. He thinks MAO isn’t hitting the heights of his potential for what should be the most important KO-D Openweight Title challenge of his career. MAO is certain he still has that crazy side of himself, it’s just that he has matured a little bit so he can be ready to become DDT’s champion.

There is a shadow following Hideki Okatani’s reign as DDT Extreme Champion that he needs to vanquish next. He needs to defend the belt against Shunma Katsumata! They have fought over the title two times before with Katsumata winning both times as champion. The first match in 2023 was an important stepstone for Okatani because it was his entry into hardcore wrestling. That match was also where Katsumata injured his leg and had to vacate the title afterwards. When he returned and won it back in 2024, Okatani was one of Katsumata’s first defences during that title reign.

A partnership forged in fire has made Shinya Aoki & Junta Miyawaki decide to chase after the KO-D Tag Team Titles together. They previously fought Chris Brookes & HARASHIMA for No. 1 Contendership over the titles back in March. FANTÔMES DRAMATIC won that match and went on to become the champions so there is plenty of setup for the rematch.

DDT are giving Hinata Kasai a tough challenge if he wants to get his first win while teaming with his dad Jun Kasai. They will take on Jun Akiyama and his DDT protege Rukiya.

Minoru Suzuki & Sanshiro Takagi are joining forces after years of being enemies inside the ring, outside the ring, at an empty Tokyo Dome and even on a bullet train. The strength of their alliance will depend on how annoying Kazuki Hirata & To-y will be in front of them.

Speaking of bullet trains, Raku now holds the Iron Man Heavymetalweight Title. Whoever enters the Battle Royal as the champion will get a bullet train pass for one year to use whenever DDT books them for shows held outside of Tokyo. I’m not sure if that also applies to Tokyo Joshi Pro if Raku gets the prize.

DDT “FIGHTING BEER GARDEN 2026 IN SHINJUKU 【FINAL COUNTDOWN 3】”, 13/08/2026
Shinjuku FACE

0. Special Dark Match: Ilusion Vs Yoshihiko
1. Rock ‘N’ Roll 4 Way Death Match: Antonio Honda Vs Kazuki Hirata Vs Junta Miyawaki Vs To-y
2. Enter Sandman Match: Yuki Ueno Vs MAO Vs Daisuke Sasaki Vs Takeshi Masada Vs Danshoku Dieno Vs Super Sasadango Machine

The final set of Beer Garden shows to be held in Shinjuku FACE will happen in August and the usual match gimmicks will be held there. Miyawaki gets to join in the Rock ‘N’ Roll Death Match for the first time. Ilusion and Yoshihiko are also having a pre-show rematch of their Korakuen Hall dark match from April. Last but not least, Kumadori will be on the show.

DDT “THE FINAL SHINJUKU FACE BEER GARDEN PRO WRESTLING”, 14/08/2026
Shinjuku FACE

1. Special Single Match ~ I’m You, You’re Me: Daisuke Sasaki Vs Fake Daisuke Sasaki
2. Our LariPro ’26: Keisuke Ishii, Danshoku Dieno & Junta Miyawaki Vs Shunma Katsumata, Yuki Iino & Kazuki Hirata
3. Unit Shuffle! Special 6-Man Tag Match: Yuki Ueno, MAO & HARASHIMA Vs Chris Brookes, KANON & To-y

It’s up to Daisuke Sasaki to deal with the fake forms of himself that have been showing up recently. Keisuke Ishii gets to host his Lariat Pro Wrestling match in Shinjuku FACE for one last time.

GANBARE☆PRO “IT’S A SUMMER FILM 2026”, 15/08/2026
Tokyo Korakuen Hall

1. Keisuke Ishii, SUSHI & Sentaro Motojima Vs Shinichiro Tominaga, Guts Ishijima & Shota Kawakami
2. Moeka Haruhi Vs Rydeen Hagane
3. Yumehito Imanari Vs Hyo Ogawa
4. Ken Ohka 25th Anniversary Match Part 2: Ken Ohka, Masashi Takeda & Akira Shoji Vs Chris Brookes, Isami Kodaka & Fuminori Abe
5. Special Single Match: YuuRI Vs Takumi Iroha
6. Spirit Of Ganbare World Tag Team Titles: Takuya Wada & Tyson Maeguchi (c) Vs Shuichiro Katsumura & Yuya Susumu
7. Spirit Of Ganbare World Openweight Title: Mizuki Watase (c) Vs Shigehiro Irie

The Toyama Army that Ken Ohka’s been gathering together has a new member. Masashi Takeda is not from Toyama but apparantly his dad is and he’s visited the area enough times in his life to qualify for membership. There is no disputing that Akira Shoji is part of the team.

Moeka Haruhi and Rydeen Hagane were not on the same page during their tag match over the weekend. They blamed each other for losing that match so the obvious direction to go is have them wrestle each other to settle their differences.

BAKA GAIJIN + FRIENDS “FUCKED UP FEST 2026”, 22/08/2026
Tokyo Oji BASEMENT MONSTAR

1. SEKIFUDA 1 YEAR OF BAKA ~ Special Single Match: Kota Sekifuda Vs Minoru Suzuki

It’s been over a year since Kota Sekifuda left Big Japan to go freelance. The first anniversary of his debut in Baka Gaijin + Friends is happening in August too so his present is a match against Minoru Suzuki.

The live music lineup for “FUCKED UP FEST 2026” includes a lot of bands with wrestlers in it. They are Dos Quatro (MAO), Daisetz (Antonio Honda), NωA Jr. (Shunma Katsumata, Kazuma Sumi & Yuni), Channel D (Daisuke Sasaki) and Super P And The Space Bandits (Filipino wrestler Super P). So those might be the clues as to who else will be wrestling on the show.
