8. 13th Tokyo Princess Cup – Final: Suzume defeated Rika Tatsumi with the Spring Ring A Bell (20:46).

This year’s winner of the Tokyo Princess Cup is someone who is also on track to becoming the queen bee of Tokyo Joshi Pro! All it took was for Suzume to surpass the very person who inspired her to become a pro wrestler in the first place. She faced Rika Tatsumi in the final with both women fighting to win the tournament for the first time. Tatsumi used the fan streamers to her advantage by wrapping them all over Suzume, throwing her into the front row and then jumping into her with a Hip Attack. She then targeted Suzume’s legs in an effort to put a stop to any comebacks. Suzume fought off the persistant Hip Attacks and Choke Holds to catch Tatsumi with a counter attack. There was almost a double knockout when Tatsumi did the Twist Of Fate only for Suzume to hit back with a last ditch Ring A Bell. Tatsumi caught another Ring A Bell to turn it into the Dragon Sleeper but Suzume was able to eventually roll out of it. She then gave Tatsumi a taste of her own medicine by grabbing her neck to choke her! Tatsumi overpowered it and tried to put Suzume in a Sleeper Hold until Suzume used the ropes to bounce herself free and then launch herself into the Spring Ring A Bell for the three count!

After the match Suzume said she became stronger because she admires how much Tatsumi lives her life to the fullest. Today they got to fight each other with all of their might and Suzume couldn’t be happier. She remembers when Tatsumi would call her her arch-nemesis and she is now never going to let that go. Tatsumi gave Suzume a cheeky poke to the head and then hugged her before leaving the ring. Next, Suzume said she has now conquered the hot summer and won’t be stopping there. She called out Yuki Arai to challenge her for the Princess Of Princess Title! She thought Arai is the person who is shining the brightest in TJPW but after today Suzume thinks she can shine even brighter! She is still going to defend her International Princess Title in the meantime but she also wants to fight Arai for the Princess Title too! Arai said she wants to fight Suzume so she can also pour out her love for TJPW. She will give her the title shot at “WRESTLE PRINCESS VII” on 3rd October! Suzume ended the show by telling everyone the day after tomorrow will be the 7th Anniversary of her debut. Before she became a pro wrestler she thought the only dreams she could hold onto were those she had when she was a child. But TJPW has taught her she can have as many dreams as she wants at any age! Meanwhile Tatsumi backstage complained about working so hard this summer that she should be rewarded for it with a raise in salary plus other special bonuses from the company.

Hiroyo Matsumoto was one of the guests paying a visit to TJPW today. Next month she is going to team up with Miyu Yamashita at a “TAKAYAMANIA” show but today they were on opposite sides of the semi-main event tag match. Matsumoto also used this time to get a feel for Yuki Arai, taunting the champion to give her her best shot. Matsumoto would later do her part in holding back Yamashita, lifting her up into a Torture Rack while Shoko Nakajima tried to finish off Arai. But Arai dodged the 619 and threw down Nakajima with the Full Nelson Buster. She then put Nakajima in the Scorpion Death Lock and used all of her strength to make Nakajima tap out to the move. Arai said she is going to sleep well tonight because she avenged her loss to Nakajima in the tournament. As for fighting Matsumoto again, Arai thinks that is kind of a scary idea but she would like to fight her again and again to grow strong enough to beat her. Nakajima was disappointed because she considers Matsumoto to be a pioneer for kaiju wrestlers and Nakajima ended up becoming a punching bag like Anguirus in front of “Lady Godzilla”. Matsumoto admitted she doesn’t know a lot about Anguirus and promised to look it up for Nakajima.

There’s no official name yet for Mizuki, Mei Suruga & Uta Takami but the report on the TJPW website refers to them as The KAWAII Trio so let’s go with that for now. They were all a handful for their opponents. Takami accidentally snapped off Ren Konatsu’s toy sheep then annoyed her even more when she said she didn’t want it in the first place. Suruga stopped Miu Watanabe from giving Takami the Giant Swing and copied her ponytail pose. She then tried to do the Apple Mutilation on Watanabe but Watanabe powered out of it and gave her the Giant Swing instead. Arisu Endo went on a roll against Takami & Mizuki then helped Watanabe set Mizuki up for Konatsu’s Aries Comet. A scramble led to Mizuki taking out Watanabe with the Whirling Candy and then joining Takami in double teaming Konatsu until the Cutie Special ended the match.

Kira Summer spent the last month back in her home country of Australia and now has to catch up with her contemporaries in her first match back in TJPW. HIMAWARI greeted her with Hair Whips while Toga welcomed her back with Body Slams. Chika Nanase tried to even the playing field but ultimately failed. Her effort in avoiding the Absolute Zero was rewarded with an Elbow Smash from Toga that knocked her down. Toga then submitted her with the Muffler Hold that almost bent her over backwards.

For her debut in TJPW, Sumire Natsu told Yuki Kamifuku that she came here wanting to be treated like a serious wrestler. She then immediately contradicted herself by avoiding the opening lock up to gyrate for the fans instead. Kamifuku later said she wouldn’t allow the Bronco Buster to be used in TJPW so she and Natsu got into a Big Boot battle over it. Natsu eventually got to do the move on Kamifuku with Mifu Ashida cheering her on. Ober Eats were finally able to get rid of her when Wakana Uehara lifted Kamifuku up to do an Elevated Big Boot to knock Natsu out of the ring. Kamifuku then went on to pin Ashida with the Famouser. Kamifuku said backstage that as part of her retirement road she asked TJPW to bring in Natsu because she is a character unlike anyone else in the company. In the ring she is flamboyant, intense and over the top but away from that she is kind, considerate and has a strong sense of professionalism. She also thinks Uehara and Ashida could learn a lot about the various possibilities of pro wrestling just from experiencing 0.2% of Natsu. Wrestling in TJPW for the first time made Natsu so nervous, she forgot to bring her makeup bag which she admits is very unlike her. She came here with the goal of becoming a legend in one appearance rather than auditioning for a regular spot but now she is convinced she can make it here. She wants TJPW management to consider booking her more often even if it’s just as a favour to Kamiyu.

Both teams in Match #3 came up with a special rule to celebrate the end of summer. In order for a pinfall to be counted, the wrestlers would have to do a Bon Odori dance beforehand. Music played and everyone danced until Hyper Misao’s team attacked Pom Harajuku’s team from behind. Raku led her partners in the Oyasumi Express while the music played. Mahiro Kiryu used her Apology Knee Drop to try and do the dance. Yuki Aino put Shino Suzuki in the Full Nelson Of Love And Fire so Suzuki called for the music in order to try and dance her way out of the move. It actually worked and she almost pinned Aino with the Rolling Back Cradle afterward. Unfortunately Aino kicked out of it and quickly put Suzuki back in the Full Nelson to make her give up.

Two wrestlers who were both dealing with the disappointment of first round exits were put in the ring against each other in the undercard. The experience of Sakura Hattori won out against Haru Kazashiro in the end. After Kazashiro got a nearfall with a Low Cross Body, she wanted to use the Fisherman Suplex next. Instead, Hattori spun her way free and used a Leg Sweep to trip Kazashiro down. She then tangled her up in the Kitcho Kagome to pin her for the three count.

It’s been eight months since Shion Kanzaki debuted in TJPW and now that there is a rookie who debuted after her, the time has come for Kanzaki to earn her first win! She defeated Momo Sato to kick off the show, grabbing Sato in a Standing Armbar before slamming her down to the mat and wrenching in further for the submission. Sato did put up a fight by doing the Kneel Kick and a Crab Hold before that though. She said she trains with Sato a lot and knows how talented she is so she wasn’t sure she could beat her today. She wants to continue winning matches so she can go into her upcoming homecoming show with her head held high.

The show opening call that usually takes place with The Up Up Girls (Pro Wrestling) included a special guest this time. A 4th grade elementary student named Yuzuki was chosen to join in with the group and tell everyone the show was starting. She said her favorite wrestlers are Kamifuku, Uehara and Raku.

At the start of the show it was announced that TJPW will be working with the manga author Go Nagai for “WRESTLE PRINCESS VII” later this year. Nagai is known for his works including Cutie Honey, Devilman, Mazinger Z and UFO Robot Grendizer. He was also recently inducted into the Eisner Hall Of Fame. Nagai will be collaborating to work on the visual art used for the show’s promotional material.

Recently a new mascot named Tojojo appeared on social media claiming to be the new manager of TJPW. It teased news of an announcement to be made for this show and Rise Shirai revealed it is a Rooftop Garden Pro Wrestling event taking place at Gran Hammer in Shinbashi on 10th October. The show will consist of an all you can eat BBQ, a performance by The Up Up Girls (Pro Wrestling), a talk show featuring TJPW wrestlers and also mat pro wrestling matches that promised to include the use of water cannons.


TOKYO JOSHI PRO “THE 13TH TOKYO PRINCESS CUP” Results

August 8, 2026

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “THE 13TH TOKYO PRINCESS CUP”, 08/08/2026
Tokyo Ryogoku KFC Hall
365 Fans – Super No Vacancy Full House

1. Miu Watanabe & Ren Konatsu defeated Wakana Uehara & Momo Sato when Watanabe pinned Sato with the Giant Swing (11:16).
2. Yuki Kamifuku, Raku, Shino Suzuki & Uta Takami defeated Miyu Yamashita, Sakura Hattori, Haru Kazashiro & Chika Nanase when Kamifuku pinned Nanase with the Famouser (10:13).
3. Mizuki, Pom Harajuku & Mahiro Kiryu defeated Yuki Arai, Mifu Ashida & Shion Kanzaki when Harajuku pinned Kanzaki with the Pom de Justice (8:35).
4. 13th Tokyo Princess Cup – Quarter Final: HIMAWARI defeated Arisu Endo with the Sunflower Tempest (10:35).
5. 13th Tokyo Princess Cup – Quarter Final: Toga defeated Yuki Aino with the Modified Muffler Hold (10:32).
6. 13th Tokyo Princess Cup – Quarter Final: Rika Tatsumi defeated Hyper Misao with the White Dragon Sleeper (13:49).
7. 13th Tokyo Princess Cup – Quarter Final: Suzume defeated Shoko Nakajima with the Ring A Bell (13:49).

The Tokyo Princess Cup will be heading over to Osaka with four wrestlers left in the running. The bracket in its current form ended today at the Quarter Final stage with the winners advancing to a random draw that would pair off who would be against who in the Semi Finals. Suzume took down the most experienced tournament wrestler in today’s main event. Shoko Nakajima remains the only person to have competed in every single Princess Cup but will go another year without winning it for a second time. The two went back and forth looking for the victory. Nakajima took Suzume down with a Double Arm DDT but Suzume then grabbed onto her foot to slow her climb up to the top turnbuckle. Nakajima then used a 619 to knock her back down but Suzume got back up and used the ropes to stun Nakajima with an upthrust kick. Suzume then climbed up to Nakajima and slammed her down with a Flying Facecrusher before using the Ring A Bell to win the match. Suzume credited Nakajima for meaning so much to her as a wrestler because no matter how down Suzume ever felt about herself, she never thought she was weak because of her small size. So from now on, Suzume is going to believe in her own fighting style and fly around like a hornet this summer. Backstage Nakajima said Suzume will now have to go and win the whole tournament otherwise she will never let her step foot back into a wrestling venue or her house ever again!

For once when Hyper Misao said she was going to try and win fair and square she actually meant it. The history she has with Rika Tatsumi means too much for her to treat their match lightly. With that being said, she did use the Hero Spray to get out of a Dragon Sleeper but other than that is was a clean fight! Misao tried to use her rare Vanitas finisher but Tatsumi landed on her feet and Small Packaged Misao into the Dragon Sleeper again. Misao fought to reach the ropes until Tatsumi turned the move into the White Dragon Sleeper to make her opponent give up. Misao considers her attempt at creating a summer miracle failed but on the bright side she may have discovered some new techniques to use against Tatsumi in the future. She’s also happy that Tatsumi and herself are proving that Tokyo Joshi Pro’s original members are still going strong.

Yuki Aino has learned the hard way just how hot a blue flame can be compared to her own red flame. Toga is one of the two newest faces to reach the semi finals of the Princess Cup but took a bit of a beating to get there. Aino grabbed onto Toga’s wrist so she could keep pulling her into Shoulder Blocks over and over. She went too far with it and ended up getting knocked off her feet with the Elbow Smash. Toga then put her in a Muffler Hold and held it in such a way that she bending Aino backwards into giving up for a shock result. Aino always thought Toga had something special in her so she’s happy to see her finally deliver it today. She also thinks Toga will need more powerful weaons to give herself more confidence from now on. Aino gets that every year she says she will start over when she gets eliminated from the Princess Cup so this year she will instead grow even bigger than she is right now rather than go back to square one.

The other new face in the semi finals is HIMAWARI and she did it by taking out last year’s finalist Arisu Endo! HIMAWARI fought her way out of the Camel Clutch by dragging herself to reach a rope break with her foot instead of her hand. She then kept avoiding the Ju no Okite until she found an opening to give Endo the Sunflower Tempest to score the upset. This result is a hard one for Endo to accept compared to previous years. She had so many promises to live up to for people like Aja Kong, Suzume and Yuki Arai. This loss means none of them can come true yet for quite a while so she said she needs a little more time than usual to deal with it.

The semi final draw took place backstage after the show had ended. Rise Shirai gathered the final four together and had them pick a card from her hand. Those that matched colours would face each other in the next round. The result of that is Suzume versus HIMAWARI and Rika Tatsumi against Toga both happening on 16th August. Suzume was hoping to meet Endo in the finals like they both promised each other and now finds HIMAWARI to be rather scary for eliminating the other Daisy Monkey. HIMAWARI has connections to both members but is feeling the momentum of beating one of her seniors. Tatsumi has already climbed over her “Mountain Of Death” in this tournament and decided she wants to be that for Toga since this will be their first singles match against each other. Toga cannot predict what Tatsumi is going to do but her new version of the Muffler Hold was created specifically to beat her seniors so she is counting on that move to take her all the way to winning the Princess Cup.

It was announced at the start of the show that The Up Up Girls (Pro Wrestling) will be holding an audition later this year to add a new member to their group. Maybe Yuki Kamifuku will be among the participants because she teamed up with most of the unit today and took part in all of their shenanigans. She even won the match for the team. It was all part of her retirement road though and she was happy to briefly experience what it is like to be an Up Up Girl as the “Denim Blue” member of the group. The actual The Up Up Girls (Pro Wrestling) also announced they will be holding a solo concert at Shinjuku FACE on 20th September.

-. 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.

*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.

During the end of July and the start of August Tokyo Joshi Pro will be involved quite heavily with the Tokyo Idol Festival.

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.

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.

7. Road To PETER PAN 2026! Special Tag Match: Yuki Ueno & Shunma Katsumata defeated MAO & KANON (w/ KIMIHIRO & YUZUKI) when Ueno submitted MAO with a Sleeper Hold (19:22).

It’s a little over two weeks until DDT graces Sumo Hall once again, this time for “WRESTLE PETER PAN 2026”. But before that could take place there were some things to settle in Korakuen Hall first. The Ryogoku main event got a preview today with Yuki Ueno and MAO on opposite sides of a tag match between The 37KAMIINA and Strange Love Connection. MAO & KANON tried to overwhelm Ueno with their square shaped powers but Shunma Katsumata was there to take KANON out of the picture with a Topé con Hilo. MAO went to seal the deal by giving Ueno the Michinoku Driver II but missed the Cannonball 450°. Ueno switched his gameplan to getting MAO into a Sleeper Hold whether it was catching him Blackout style or keeping a grip on him with a Body Scissors. Ueno’s relentless hold of the move kept MAO from escaping and he eventually had to tap out to the KO-D Openweight Champion.

When the match was over Ueno took the microphone and said MAO still has a long way to go. He remembers when MAO left The 37KAMIINA and fought him for the KO-D Title at Sumo Hall two years ago. Back then he thought MAO was shining so brightly he would soar to the global stage and blow the whole world away. In the two years since then, Ueno has wondered if MAO could ever become the champion who can lead DDT to the Tokyo Dome. The upcoming title match should be the most important and exciting thing that has ever happened to MAO so Ueno wants him to show the most dazzling brilliance he’s ever had on 11th August. Backstage Ueno said that MAO needs to be more fiery because he hasn’t been as passionate as he was back when he was in The 37KAMIINA. However, MAO said backstage that since he left the unit he’s cut down on drinking, given up eating ramen and has become more disciplined. He is still edgy but now he has matured a bit. Everything he’s been doing is so he can beat Ueno for the KO-D Title!

Well, Yuki Ishida has been saying for weeks how much he wants to change and he got what he wanted in the end. He wagered his hair to get a shot at the DDT Extreme Title held by Hideki Okatani and… er… he doesn’t have his hair anymore. With his best effort Ishida blocked the Claymore kick, Power Bombed Okatani and fought his way into finally hitting him with the Ensho but at the last second Okatani got his foot on the ropes to break the pin. Okatani then booted Ishida in the head over and over until he kept him down with the Claymore to win the match and claim Ishida’s hair. Okatani said after the match there is no way Ishida could beat him but he acknowledges his spirit. Ishida took it upon himself to cut his own hair and when he was finished, Okatani told him to not to forget this feeling. He also reminded Ishida the reason why he joined Harimao was because someone (Kazusada Higuchi) saw his potential so he should not give up here. When Ishida left, Hisaya Imabayashi asked Okatani who he wants to defend the Extreme Title against at Sumo Hall? There is only one man and that’s Shunma Katsumata! The two have previously fought each other for the title twice with Katsumata winning both times. Katsumata didn’t want to waste words and accepted the challenge with little else to say.

The tag team championship rivalry between FANTÔMES DRAMATIC and paleyouth that has gone on for the last month has ended in a stalemate. Fandora weren’t able to beat paleyouth for the KO-D 6-Man Tag Team Titles two weeks ago and paleyouth weren’t able to take the KO-D Tag Team Titles away from Fandora today. Yuya Koroku came prepared for HARASHIMA after the warm up matches they had leading up to today. He rolled backwards to avoid the Somato and trap HARASHIMA into an Armbar. He then got Takeshi Masada in so they could give HARASHIMA their double team finisher and although Chris Brookes was kept away from breaking the pin, HARASHIMA still kicked out of it. Koroku thought he had the match won when he landed a Moonsault Press but HARASHIMA suddenly turned the pin into an Armbar submission of his own, surprising Koroku and making him tap out to grab victory from the jaws of defeat. After the match Shinya Aoki & Junta Miyawaki both approached the champions to ask them for a title match at Sumo Hall. HARASHIMA said he would take a challenge from anyone at anytime so they will get it.

The masked dancer Kumadori was getting some attention online in the last week with highlights of his DDT matches gaining traction on social media. He didn’t waste time showing his agility in the ring alongside Kazuma Sumi but the pace changed once Daichi Sato and Kazuki Hirata tagged in. To-y attempted some high flying of his own with the T.O.Y. Diving Cross Body but nobody was there to catch him. Hirata wanted to try the same move (he calls it H.R.T) but his legs buckled from the pressure of standing on the top rope. To-y at least got some momentum back by pulling Soma Takao’s t-shirt over his face and Machine Gun Chopping his bare chest in the corner. Even though Takao was blinded by the shirt, To-y still missed another T.O.Y. dive when Takao walked out of harm’s way. Hirata rallied his team to literally run circles around Kumadori but when it was time to put on the Hirata GO! Glasses, Kumadori kicked him away and put on his own pair! The two fought past everyone else to dance with each other until Hirata got Kumadori with a cheap shot. Kumadori stopped Hirata in his tracks to make him dance more but it was only so he could roll up Hirata in a School Boy and pin him for the victory.

Ilusion recently introduced his own version of the Right To Challenge Gauntlet to use on existing Gauntlet holders but ended up losing it to Rukiya. So now Ilusion was on the hunt to win one of the regular Gauntlets currently held by Viento Levante. Speaking of Levante, his focus is on winning the KO-D 6-Man Tag Titles with SLC at Sumo Hall. Having a Gauntlet for a KO-D Title shot is just a bonus for him at the moment. Ilusion & Daisuke Sasaki attacked Levante & Yukio Naya before the bell. They also had MJ Paul at ringside interfering for DAMNATION T.A unlike KIMIHIRO & YUZUKI who were both there for SLC. However Levante dodged a chair attack from Suzuki and Naya stopped DAMNATION T.A from further using the weapon. Naya then Choke Slammed Ilusion into position for Levante to do the Diving Headbutt and win the match. Backstage Levante promised he will not cash in his Gauntlet until after “WRESTLE PETER PAN 2026”. He is tempted to steal the glory from MAO that night but is thinking about cashing in somewhere else afterwards.

The (one-sided) rivalry between Sanshiro Takagi and Minoru Suzuki was brought back to the forefront but there is now going to be a twist in the tale. Before the match began, a camera backstage filmed Takagi complaining to the GM Imabayashi about not having a match booked for Sumo Hall yet. Imabayashi told him if he could win his match he would consider putting him on the card. Takagi had Danshoku Dieno as his tag partner to fight Suzuki & Jun Akiyama but that was not enough of an X factor to get him his desired result. Dieno almost lured Akiyama into the Danshoku Driver but he ended up getting the Exploder Suplex instead. Akiyama then held Dino in a Front Neck Lock and Dieno gave up when Takagi accidentally shoved is own face into Dieno’s backside while trying to escape a Manjigatame that Suzuki put him in. After the match Imabayashi told Takagi he won’t be wrestling at Sumo Hall but Suzuki says otherwise. Suzuki was actually impressed at how Takagi defended himself from the Manjigatame so he wants the two of them to team up at Sumo Hall! Imabayashi couldn’t refuse Suzuki’s idea and went to work with putting a match together. It was later revealed that Suzuki & Takagi will face Kazuki Hirata & To-y on the show.

Before the team up of Shinya Aoki and Junta Miyawaki happened, the two faced off against each other in a singles match first. The two went back and forth with holds and counters. At one point Aoki used the ropes to his advantage to tangle up Miyawaki but Miyawaki got some moments of control whether it was using an Osui Suplex Hold for a nearfall or a Cattle Mutilation to stretch out Aoki. He also hit the Sunshine Driver but Aoki kicked out of the pin. Miyawaki then went for the Sunshine Clutch but Aoki found a way to reverse it and get the three count out of nowhere. It was backstage after the match when Miyawaki caught up with Aoki telling him he wants to wrestle with him more. Aoki suggested the two of them chase after the KO-D Tag Titles which led to them making the challenge to Fandora later in the show.

The pre-show and the introduction had some major implications for the Iron Man Heavymetalweight Title. During the dark match both Yuni and Rukiya felt like marked men with Yuni holding the Iron Man Title and Rukiya holding the RTC Gauntlet that can be cashed in on other Gauntlet holders. Hinata Kasai wanted to pin Yuni quickly to win the title but Naomi Yoshimura was there to throw both him around. Antonio Honda struggled to contain Yuni at points but had the wherewithal to block a Jacknife Pin and press himself down to get the three count and win the Iron Man Title. Both Masami Inahata and Rukiya tried to pin Honda after the match but Honda escaped the ring.

Honda would then reappear at ringside during the show opening announcements. Three members of The Up Up Girls (Pro Wrestling) were in the ring with Imabayashi at the time to promote Tokyo Joshi Pro’s upcoming appearances at the Tokyo Idol Festival. Honda tripped over the ropes on his way into the ring so he decided to tell The Up Up Girls his latest Gongitsune joke. Obviously his sense of humour isn’t appropriate for the idols so Miu Watanabe and Uta Takami both covered their ears. That made them defenceless so Honda got the both of them with Gongitsune eye pokes. Raku however countered him with a lullaby that sent both Honda and Imabayashu to sleep. She then quietly pinned Honda to become the latest Iron Man Champion! Remember that whoever enters the Iron Man Title Battle Royal at Sumo Hall as the defending champion will receive a bullet train travel pass for one year as their prize!

Guide To TJPW In Las Vegas… Again

April 15, 2026

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

1. Yuki Kamifuku & Wakana Uehara Vs Toga & Uta Takami
2. Yuki Aino, Raku & Pom Harajuku Vs Alexis Lee, HIMAWARI & Shino Suzuki
3. Special 3 Way Match: Miyu Yamashita Vs Mizuki Vs Miu Watanabe

5. Princess Tag Team Titles: Jessie McKay & Cassie Lee (c) Vs Shoko Nakajima & Hyper Misao
6. Princess Of Princess Title: Yuki Arai (c) Vs J-Rod

Thanks to some business dealings by TKO that has sort of come back to bite WWE in the backside, Tokyo Joshi Pro are running a WrestleMania Week show in Las Vegas for the second year in a row. Is there an alternate timeline where this would be happening in New Orleans instead? Probably, but money talks and Vegas is full with it. What’s noteworthy regarding this year is that TJPW is no longer working with GCW and The Collective in putting this show together. Instead they are part of a block of events called Slam Fest that also has Stardom, CMLL, House Of Glory and Maple Leaf Pro involved. Also DDT has not joined the journey over to America with TJPW. As you are reading this, they are still running shows back in Japan but it’s pretty obvious by now that CyberFight sees TJPW as the brand with the biggest potential to become successful in overseas markets like North America. For their return to Vegas they have put together a relevant card that follows up from their recent tours of Texas and Vancouver. If you need need to freshen up on the product you really only need to pay attention to those shows as well as last month’s Sumo Hall show to get all caught up on what’s happening here. So if you’re new to the world of TJPW, an existing fan wanting to read up on everything or even a commentator looking for context beyond a Wikipedia page (*cough, cough*), this guide is intended for you!

Where and when are the shows taking place?

The show will be held at the Pearl Theater found inside Palms Casino Resort in Las Vegas on Thursday, 16th April at 11am local time.

Where can I watch it online?

It will air live on Triller TV with English commentary for $19.99 by itself. There are also bundled deals that include the show available for either $44.99 (the Thursday package of TJPW, CMLL & House Of Glory) or $59.99 (the entire two day Slam Fest package). The on-demand version of the show will be available to watch on Wrestle Universe a couple of weeks after the live broadcast.

Is this a proper TJPW show?

Yes for the most part. On paper it is not the same full blown experience that TJPW provided Las Vegas last year. However they are still providing all three championship matches that have all have build up behind them. It’s an unusual situation this year because TJPW are promoting shows outside of Japan more than ever and a lot of the title builds took place on those international shows that took place in North America. So you could take the odd path of only watching the Texas tour, the big “GRAND PRINCESS ’26” show at Sumo Hall and the recent Vancouver tour to get all caught up on the major matches for this card.


1. Yuki Kamifuku & Wakana Uehara Vs Toga & Uta Takami

The show opens up with one of the mainstay tag teams Ober Eats facing two wrestlers from TJPW’s so-called “Next Generation”. Ober Eats are coming off of a lengthy stay at the top of the tag team division, having become the only reigning champions to win the annual Max Heart Tournament. After recently being knocked off their perch, Yuki Kamifuku & Wakana Uehara agreed to start moving in separate directions but they are still going to team from time to time on shows like this one. Uta Takami is on the upswing after reaching the final of the Max Heart Tournament. She’s only teamed with Toga a handful of times though so this mismatch pairing has some work to do to beat the former tag champs.

Yuki Kamifuku – Also known by her nickname Kamiyu, she is “The Casual Beauty” of TJPW. Grew up in Ohio during her junior high school years so she is the most fluent English speaker out of the Japanese roster. She knows how to get under her opponent’s skin with harsh and catty opinions but there is another side to her where she is loyal and sympathetic to her friends. She is also proud of her modelling background because her accomplishments in the ring is proof that you don’t need to be a die hard pro wrestling fan to succeed in the business.
Moves To Watch Out For: Famouser (Jumping Leg Drop to a bent over opponent), Big Boot, Yahoo 83cm (Headscissors DDT), Manjigatame, Thumb To The Eye

Wakana Uehara – The big eater entered wrestling through a reality series TJPW held for idols and was the only participant to take the path towards turning pro. Ever since she formed Ober Eats with Kamifuku, she learned to come out out of her shell and has taken on some of Kamifuku’s more confident personality traits to make them into her own. One can only imagine the victory meal she’ll have in Vegas to celebrate!
Moves To Watch Out For: Banana Pillow (Triangle Lancer), Sushi Tornado (Sister Abigail variation), Space Rolling Elbow, High Speed Brainbuster

Toga – I can’t say for sure if ice runs through her veins but if you’re looking for somebody cool, calm and collective in the ring then Toga is your girl. In a place filled with colorful personalities, Toga’s way of standing out is to smash opponents in the face with an almighty Elbow Strike. The last year has seen her start to stretch out a little bit, moving on from tag team wrestling to search for success on her own. She has also taken the initiative to take part in a match somewhere else during Mania Week, as you will see at the bottom of this guide.
Moves To Watch Out For: Absolute Zero (Rock Bottom), Elbow Butt, Rolling Thunder, Fall Away Slam

Uta Takami – Here is the first member of The Up Up Girls (Pro Wrestling) to appear on the show. The Up Up Girls are a pop idol group that collaborated with TJPW to create a pro wrestling spin-off stable. TJPW’s version of the act always perform a song or two at the beginning of the shows before competing in matches later on. Takami is the troublemaker of the bunch, bringing along a bratty little sister energy into her matches with a frantic wrestling style. She is currently among the youngest wrestlers on the roster but this year her potential upside has shot through the roof with a strong tag team tournament record. If you like Mei Suruga then Uta Takami will fit into your wrestling tastes as snug as a bug.
Moves To Watch Out For: Koala Clutch (Body Lock Cobra Clutch), Pendulum Dropkick, Missile Dropkick


2. Yuki Aino, Raku & Pom Harajuku Vs Alexis Lee, HIMAWARI & Shino Suzuki

It’s the Love Triangle taking on Bumping gRitters plus a friend from Singapore. One of the strongest bonds in TJPW is the one that connects Yuki Aino, Raku & Pom Harajuku together. They are all so close to each other that Love Triangle is the most fittest name to give them. HIMAWARI & Shino Suzuki make up the Bumping gRitters, a name they came up with because they want to fight gritty and shine like glitter at the same time. Alexis Lee from Singapore Pro Wrestling is the third woman on their team and has a packed schedule in Vegas ahead of her this week.

Yuki Aino – At one time Yuki Aino was simply a ring announcer for TJPW who became a pro wrestler in order to team up with her sister (the now retired Nodoka Tenma). Tag team wrestling has been her forte and Aino usually finds her way back there whenever her attempts to go solo don’t go to plan. Her love of Tokusatsu TV shows have been a key part of her finding relevance in the company this year but on this show she is back teaming with some old flames. She can be as stubborn as they come and on her best days will hit you like a firetruck fueled by love.
Moves To Watch Out For: Venus DDT (Inverted DDT), UBV/Unlimited Burning Venus (Double Arm Side Buster), Full Nelson Of Love And Fire (Full Nelson Camel Clutch), Side Suplex

Raku – The second member of The Up Up Girls, Raku’s entire personality can be summed down to naps and trains. She knows so much railway trivia that on every TJPW show she will tell the audience what the Train Of The Day is. Raku’s moveset is built around sending her opponents to sleep so she can run over them with the Oyasumi Express. She is also sometimes armed with a pillow. Mix that all together and you get a total package that has made her absolutely adored by fans and the roster alike.
Moves To Watch Out For: Doctor Yellow (Jumping Neckbreaker), Hurricane Turn (Cross-Arm Backslide Pin), Oyasumi/Good Night Express (running on top of the opponent over and over), Good Night Sleeper, Poppo Chop! (Brain Chop)

Pom Harajuku – Bright and colorful costumes, loud screaming and a lot of shin kicking. Pom Harajuku’s fighting style can be compared to a three year old throwing a temper tantrum. What she lacks in traditional pro wrestling strength, she makes up for with creativity and outside the box thinking. If she thinks disguising herself as a turnbuckle, hiding her opponent’s house keys inside a gacha capsule machine or constructing her own Tesla will help her win the match then she will find a way to turn those ideas into a reality.
Moves To Watch Out For: Pom de Justice (Step-Up Guillotine Leg Drop), Laforet Harajuku (Satellite Headscissors), Shin Kick, Denden Taiko (beating the opponent’s chest like a drum)

Alexis Lee – The skeleton from Singapore is regularly seen as an opponent for TJPW wrestlers when they go to wrestle around Southeast Asia. She gets appear in TJPW once or twice a year and returns again as part of what I think is her debut tour in America. Just be careful around her when drinks are around. “Skelly” can drink anybody under the table.
Moves To Watch Out For: No Lee Way (Running Double Knee Attack), Sister Abigail, Biting

HIMAWARI – Bright and cheerful like a sunflower but it’s the kind of sunflower that can use Vine Whip. She claims to have never gotten her long hair cut since she was born and she likes to use her braids as whips against her opponents. She has a background in musicals and stage acting which explains how she is up there as one of the most expressive of wrestlers in TJPW. She often gets to take part in overseas bookings but her win-loss record when it comes to these ventures needs some improvement.
Moves To Watch Out For: Sunflower Tempest (Floatover Jackhammer), Princess Drop (Princess Carry into Pumphandle Drop style slam), Half Crab Hold, Hair Whip

Shino Suzuki – Now we’re up to member No. 3 of The Up Up Girls. Shino Suzuki is one of the newer members of the groups. She is nicknamed “She Know” because she worked as a tour guide before becoming an idol and pro wrestler. While currently low on the totem pole in TJPW, she will display gutsy performances along with her wealth of tourism knowledge. The downside to this is the competitive atmosphere often turns her into a ball of anxiety and half of her battles is trying to get past that while the match goes on.
Moves To Watch Out For: Belly-To-Belly Suplex, Sleeper Hold, Backward Rolling Cradle, Swinging Neckbreaker


3. Special 3 Way Match: Miyu Yamashita Vs Mizuki Vs Miu Watanabe

Simply put, the three strongest and most decorated wrestlers in TJPW are thrown into the ring all against each other. I could go on all day listing the combined accomplishments of Miyu Yamashita, Mizuki and Miu Watanabe along with arguments for each over who should be seen as the ace of company. It would be fair to guess that whoever wins this match would qualify for No. 1 Contendership, if only there wasn’t the Tokyo Princess Cup coming up. This is odds on favorite to be the match of the show and maybe even a highlight of the entire week.

Miyu Yamashita – “The Pink Striker” has been part of TJPW since Day 1 of the company proper and has almost done it all when it comes to championship reigns, tournament wins and headlining important venues. She is currently the “Leader” of TJPW so her focus nowadays is to fly the flag for the company across the world. The Skull Kick she uses is one of the most deadliest looking finishers around and she enjoys finding opponents who can dish it out to her just as hard as she can dish it out to them.
Moves To Watch Out For: Skull Kick (Backspin High Kick to the head), Crash Rabbit Heat (Running Knee Kick), Attitude Adjustment, Return Crash (Triangle Kick off the turnbuckles)

Mizuki – Although she didn’t start her wrestling career in TJPW, Mizuki has established herself as one of the company’s all time best with multiple championship reigns and important main events to her name. One of the most photogenic wrestlers going today, she constantly goes viral on social media for using moves that leave those who see them locked in a state of awe and inspiration. She doesn’t understand what U3+4 means but she is the closest pro wrestling will ever get to creating a real life Lili from Tekken. Don’t trust that mischievous smile of hers, she is vicious when she wants to be. “The Popping Sugar Rabbit” may sound like a silly nickname but we’ll see who’s laughing when Mizuki is Double Stomping the guts out of her opponents.
Moves To Watch Out For: Cutie Special (Bridging Fall Away Slam), Whirling Candy (Spinning Cross Body Block), Diving Foot Stomp, Face Lock

Miu Watanabe – Last but definitely not least, Miu Watanabe is the final member of The Up Up Girls you will see in action. There are two things she loves most in life: Idols and Pro Wrestling! Always full of energy, Watanabe uses big hand gestures to spell out L-O-V-E along with her theme song during her entrances. She also knows various ways to throw people around with the Giant Swing and cave in chests with Double Sledge style strikes. Watanabe is coming off of a main event run that was so dominant that other wrestlers accused her of fighting more like a monster than a princess!
Moves To Watch Out For: Tear Drop (Modified Flapjack), Reverse Paradox (Gorilla Clutch), Laserbeam (Overhand Chop to the chest), Giant Swing, Canadian Backbreaker, Swinging Backbreaker


4. International Princess Title: Suzume (c) Vs Sakura Hattori

The first of three championship matches on the card. Suzume recently won the International Princess Title for the second time and wants to live up to the championship’s intended identity of being defended overseas. She received her first challenge via ninja scroll, which is a new one in my books. Sakura Hattori recently transformed from a masked bird to dangerous ninja and has been reaping the benefits under her new persona. She doesn’t need to hide in the shadows when they get to Vegas, her confidence is at an all time high.

Suzume – As swift as a wasp and just as sharp. She begun her career as a fast learner, only spending seven months in training before making her pro debut. Just based on her aesthetic alone it is of no surprise that speed is the name of her game. It’s served Suzume well because she became the International Princess Champion for the second time this year. It is a belt that has become her greatest treasure but she holds it at a time when a new generation of challengers are growing stronger all around her.
Moves To Watch Out For: Ring A Bell (RKO), Spring Ring A Bell (Oscutter), Mikazuki Meteor Shower (Diving Cross Body), Twinkle (Twisting School Boy), Flying Facecrusher

Sakura Hattori – There was once a masked wrestler named Kaya Toribami. She was a bird and was well liked by everyone but when it came to finding success in the ring it was lacking for her. Turns out having a cassowary gimmick wasn’t the golden ticket to getting a push. So Toribami travelled to Iga City to train under a ninja master but while she was there she discovered a haunted faceguard that sent her into a trance. When she returned she announced she would be moving on from Kaya Toribami to become a ninja called Sakura Hattori. The personality change has worked out for her so far, being unbeaten in singles matches and only suffering one pinfall loss thanks to Suzume. Her moveset has become more aggressive with the change but also more performative. She really needs to learn how to do the Nine Seal hand signals quicker before hitting her moves because they noticeably slow her down.
Moves To Watch Out For: Shinden Fudo Ryu Majime Ura (Kata-Gatame style Shoulder Lock), Rakkateicho (Flying Forearm Strike from the top rope set up with the Nine Hand Seals), Backflip Kick


5. Princess Tag Team Titles: Jessie McKay & Cassie Lee (c) Vs Shoko Nakajima & Hyper Misao

TJPW’s tag division has been thrown out of whack thanks to The IInspiration. The Australian tag team struck gold by becoming the only pair in history to win tag team championships in WWE, TNA and TJPW. After knocking down Ober Eats for the belts, it has cleared the table for challengers previously beaten by Ober Eats to start making challenges again. First up is Kyoraku Kyomei, one of the longest serving TJPW teams still going with previous success together under their belts. The IInspiration have seen a lot in their careers but have they ever fought a team consisting of a superhero and kaiju before?

Jessie McKay – Formerly known as Billie Kay in WWE but she has experience that goes back to Shimmer in the early 2010s. Eventually found success in WWE when she formed The IIconics and it followed her over to TNA for a little bit too. Yeah… I got nothing else. A lot of people thought that time she shouted “Hey, Kayla” out loud was funny, I guess.
Moves To Watch Out For: The IIdolizer (Inverted Magic Killer), Pedigree, Codebreaker

Cassie Lee – The former KC Cassidy and Peyton Royce took a different path than her tag partner, travelling over to Canada so she could learn from Lance Storm. Hit a road block in WWE when she tried seperating from McKay to go into singles wrestling but things just didn’t work out for the both of them. If the team did anything interesting in TNA outside of their title wins then I don’t know about it.
Moves To Watch Out For: The IIdolizer (Inverted Magic Killer), Blue Thunder Bomb, Twist Of Fate

Shoko Nakajima – Meet the Big Kaiju, all 147cm of her! Shoko Nakajima has pretty much done it all in TJPW as one of the promotion’s longest serving wrestlers. Usually relying on quick reflexes, she also has the strength to put away opponents with the Northern Lights Suplex or the Diving Senton. When put in Hardcore Match situations her favorite weapon of choice is a pile of kaiju toys that she slams her opponents onto. She’s a Swiss Army Knife that can adapt to any kind of situation wrestling can throw at her. That’s helpful when her tag team partner comes up with crazy ideas on a regular basis.
Moves To Watch Out For: Northern Lights Suplex, Diving Senton, Unmanned Local Train Hold (Yurikamome submission hold), 619, Rider Kick (One-Legged Dropkick)

Hyper Misao – When love and peace is under threat in TJPW, you can always rely on Hyper Misao to come to the rescue. Just be aware that her plans to save the world are never as heroic as intended. She often gets on the microphone to greet everyone with “Hello big children” before explaining her plan to save the day. Of course by being a superhero that means she has her own Hypami Combat Bike. She likes to crash it into her opponents along with any unfortunate bystander who happens to be nearby. She also blinds opponents with her Hero Correction Spray. Deep down inside Misao is a multi-layered human being with infinite potential that if harvested correctly could turn her into a very powerful wrestler. But why go through all that baggage when you can just wear a cool mask and cheat like hell instead?
Moves To Watch Out For: Hypami Returns (Final Cut), I Am A Hero (Diving Cross Body), Crossface Chickenwing, Vanitas (Double Arm Facebuster), Cold Spray Attack


6. Princess Of Princess Title: Yuki Arai (c) Vs J-Rod

So TJPW has finally gone ahead and put Yuki Arai on top of the mountain when she won the Princess Of Princess Title in Sumo Hall last month. Now the hard work begins because she isn’t going to be wrestling Miu Watanabe over and over anymore. Her first challenger is a tough one. TJPW chose one of their regular American guests J-Rod to face her and she is getting the home field advantage too. J-Rod wants to make history by becoming the first American wrestler to win the Princess Title. She failed to do it once before but does she have the better odds this time against a less powerful champion who is kind of still learning on the job?

Yuki Arai – The day finally came for TJPW’s chosen one when she became the brand new Princess Champion last month. Arai was once a pop idol from the group SKE48 and when she became a pro wrestler she juggled both careers at the same time. She eventually made the decision to leave music behind so she could dedicate herself full time to pro wrestling. It paid off in spades for her as she has become the latest wrestler to achieve the TJPW Grand Slam (which is only held by two other wrestlers). With that being said, she still needs the right dance partner in some situations so it remains to be seen if this title reign requires on the job training, so to speak. She also unintentionally associates herself with France because of her blue, white and red colour scheme. She really likes include the French Tricolor in her tweets.
Moves To Watch Out For: Finally (Heel Drop axe kick), Scorpion Death Lock, Rookie Award (Pump Kick to a kneeling opponent), Full Nelson Buster

J-Rod – The “Ultimate Athlete” will soon be appearing on your screens as Supernova in the latest reboot of American Gladiators. Other than that you will usually find her wrestling in Ohio Valley Wrestling and more recently Juggalo Championship Wrestling. A powerhouse on the level that only Miu Watanabe can match in TJPW, J-Rod has done several tours with the promotion in Japan and one tour in Canada. Yet this will be her first time wrestling on an American TJPW show. It’s only fitting that her match is about whether or not she can become the first American Princess Champion.
Moves To Watch Out For: Ultimate Spear, Samoan Drop, Side Slam, Fall Away Slam

———————————————————————–

There are a few other shows where you will find TJPW wrestlers in action this year. They also have different meet and greets going on at Slam Fest and Wrestlecon but I’m just going to focus on the matches here.


PODER~! “PODERMANIA~!”, 15/04/2026
Horseshoe, Las Vegas, Nevada, USA

1. International Tag Team Match: Amira & Lil Marz Vs Toga & Jazzy Yang

The first place you can find a TJPW wrestler in action will be at the annual “PODERMANIA~!” women’s wrestling show where Toga is teaming up with Jazzy Yang, the daughter of former WCW and WWE wrestler Jimmy Yang. One of their opponents Amira just took part in TJPW’s Vancouver tour while Australian wrestler Lil Marz is finishing up a stay in Europe to take part in this show.


GCW “JOSH BARNETT’S BLOODSPORT XV”, 17/04/2026
Horseshoe, Las Vegas, Nevada, USA

1. Miyu Yamashita Vs Janai Kai

Despite her martial arts background, Yamashita’s appearances in GCW’s Bloodsport spin-off have seen her on the losing end both times with high profile losses to Shayna Bazsler and Nattie Neidhart. Third time may be the charm but she has a poor singles record against Janai Kai too whenever they face each other in a more normal pro wrestling environment.


PRIDESTYLE “OUT OF THIS WORLD”, 17/04/2026
Bizarre Bar, Las Vegas, Nevada, USA

1. Special Single Match: Taniya Vs Miu Watanabe

Unless something else gets announced, the last TJPW related match to look forward to in Vegas is Miu Watanabe taking on Taniya at one of the PrideStyle shows. Taniya holds the promotion’s women’s title but this has not been advertised as a title match.


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

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

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.


TOKYO JOSHI PRO “TJPW LIVE IN BANGKOK” Results

December 13, 2025

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “TJPW LIVE IN BANGKOK”, 13/12/2025
The Circus Studio, G Village, Bangkok, Thailand
327 Fans – Super No Vacancy Full House

1. Yuki Kamifuku defeated Uta Takami with the Famouser (7:57).
2. Suzume & Arisu Endo defeated Yuki Arai & Shino Suzuki when Suzume pinned Suzuki with the Ring A Bell (11:08).
3. MLW Women’s World Featherweight Title: Shoko Nakajima (c) defeated Alexis Lee with the Diving Senton (9:05).
*V6 for Shoko Nakajima.
4. IWA Japan SETUP World Tag Team Titles: Miyu Yamashita & Kaya Toribami (c) defeated Raku & Pom Harajuku when Yamashita pinned Raku with the Skull Kick (14:27).
*V1 for Miyu Yamashita & Kaya Toribami.
5. Princess Of Princess Title: Miu Watanabe (c) defeated Matcha with the Spinning Tear Drop (17:47).
*V3 for Miu Watanabe.

The last few years of Tokyo Joshi Pro and SETUP working together has all led to this, the first TJPW show to be held in Thailand! Such an important show needed an important match so Match, the current SETUP All Asia Women’s Champion challenged Miu Watanabe for the Princess Of Princess Title. The hometown challenger winning would lead to severe consequences for 4th January and rob that show of a main event title match but Watanabe took the match and won through in the end. A late pin after the Saito Suplex gave Watanabe enough recovery time to kick out. She was then able to block another Saito Suplex, hit Matcha with the Laserbeam strike and finish her off with the Spinning Tear Drop. She told Matcha after the match she is glad they got to show each other their love for pro wrestling in a place that Matcha holds so dear. While Matcha couldn’t win the title, she thinks today was a huge victory for the Thailand wrestling scene because this was the first all-women wrestling show to take place in Southeast Asia.

The connections between TJPW and SETUP also runs deep because a TJPW team currently hold one of SETUP’s championships. Miyu Yamashita & Kaya Toribami were here to defend the IWA Japan SETUP World Tag Team Titles and their opponents were two TJPW wrestlers who have already made their mark in SETUP by being champions there in the past. Raku & Pom Harajuku got the jump on the champions at the start by using Raku’s nap trick, then Raku tried to suffocate Toribami with a pillow while Yamashita chased Harauku around ringside. Harajuku armed herself with boxing gloves so she could punch Yamashita but ended up bumping into Raku when they missed some attacks. Toribami knocked Harajuku away with a Shining Enzuigiri while Yamashita set Raku with the Skull Kick for the succesful defence. Toribami was thrilled because this was her first time defending a championship while Yamashita was relieved because she couldn’t predict what Raku & Harajuku would get up to. It’s complicated because on the one hand she doesn’t want to have another title match against them but on the other she thinks they should have a rematch back in Japan. Harajuku is disappointed because if her team won, she wanted to take the black title belt and Raku would get the red one.

The MLW Women’s World Featherweight Title was also defended on this show when Shoko Nakajima put the belt on the line against a regular name around these parts Alexis Lee. When it was clear that Nakajima had the upper hand in ability, Lee resorted to cheating. The referee Shivam was accidentally taken out by Nakajima’s Rider Kick and when Lee gave her the Sister Abigal, nobody was around to count it. Lee then grabbed the belt and hit Nakajima with it before hitting her No Lee Way finisher but Shivam’s slow recovery gave Nakajima enough breathing room to kick out at two. Nakajima then avoided the Sister Abigail to hit Lee with the 619 then followed it up with the Double Arm DDT and Diving Senton for the victory. Nakajima said she now has the right to go and wrestle in Lee’s home country of Singapore so next time they can go fight over there.

Shino Suzuki led the way in Match #2 by giving everyone else in the match a “tour” of Bangkok in the ring. She & Yuki Arai worked together to wear down Suzume but Arisu Endo was there to save her tag partner. Daisy Monkey then went ahead on the attack with Endo taking care of Arai so Suzume could pin Suzuki with the Ring A Bell.

The height difference of Yuki Kamifuku and Uta Takami was shown throughout the opening match. Kamifuku kept using Big Boots and other moves that relied on her long legs. Takami worked hard to try and avoid the Famouser but her own Koala Clutch was blocked so Kamifuku could win with her finisher anyway.

The show began with a performance from all four members of The Up Up Girls (Pro Wrestling). Also earlier in the day there was a SETUP show in the venue that featured Watanabe and Matcha signing their contracts for the title match.

*Ocha becomes the 1,789th champion.

A crossing of idol worlds took place for Tokyo Joshi Pro’s final Korakuen Hall show for 2025. They collaborated with the group OCHA NORMA for a special one-off show mixing wrestling matches with an idol concert. For the matches, different members of OCHA NORMA would play a role whether it was as a ring announcer, a commentator or simply to cheer on the wrestlers from ringside.

The show did still push forward towards 4th January. The main event had Miu Watanabe and Suzume cross paths again. Watanabe gave Suzume & Mizuki a Double Body Slam followed by the Double Giant Swing. Yuki Arai cut her off from doing the Canadian Backbreaker and Suzume wore her down to the point where she could do a low hanging Ring-A-Bell. Yuki Aino & Toga worked together to double team Suzume but Mizuki came in to give Watanabe the Whirling Candy. Suzume then singled out Toga to hit the Ring-A-Bell and win the match for her team. After the match Suzume said she is happy to see so many people’s love come together here, whether it is for OCHA NORMA or for pro wrestling. She promoted the 4th January show along with her match with Watanabe for the Princess Of Princess Title. Watanabe told Suzume they will meet here in Korakuen on 4th January to clash over what they love.

Tea is a strong concept that follows everything OCHA NORMA does but not everyone in TJPW are into that sort of stuff. There’s a group of wrestlers who think coffee is the superior drink and will fight to prove it! Hyper Misao, Yuki Kamifuku & Kira Summer joined forces to become the Coffee Breakers and promised to paint Korakuen Hall pitch black! They entered to the music from a Japanese coffee commercial then attacked the other team with coffee mugs. Misao also spat coffee into Rika Tatsumi’s face like it was the Poison Mist. However Misao also pulled out a spray can and accidentally blinded Kamifuku when Tatsumi ducked the attack. Tatsumi then sprayed all of the Coffee Breakers. Mifu Ashida threw Misao away with a German Suplex, Miyu Yamashita hit Kamifuku with the Skull Kick and Tatsumi finished off Summer with the Missile Hip.

With Tatsumi victorious the path was now clear for her to achieve her dream. For months now she has been winning and defending the Iron Man Heavymetalweight Title just so she can give it as a gift to Natsume Nakayama, her favorite member of OCHA NORMA. After the match Tatsumi invited Nakayama into the ring and laid on the canvas with her eyes closed so she could be pinned. However Mahiro Kiryu entered the ring and pinned Tatsumi to win the title instead! When Tatsumi realised what happened, she got mad and choked Kiryu unconscious. She then invited Nakayama to pin Kiryu but she declined. Tatsumi wouldn’t take no for an answer though and she made Nakayama sit on Kiryu to pin her and become the new champion. Tatsumi’s dream came true and she hopes everyone took lots of cute pictures of them together with the belt.

A special guest from Mexico was booked from the show to make up for Shoko Nakajima being absent due to what was only described as “various circumstances”. Taking her place was Ochanor Mask and she made an odd first impression by deciding to dance instead of shaking her opponents’ hands before the match began. Wakana Uehara & Ren Konatsu didn’t know what to make of the Ocha Libre wrestling style and then things got even more odd when Konatsu accidentally unmasked Ochanor, possibly unveiling that it was really Shoko Nakajima all along! Ochanor tried to keep her face hidden and was still able to pin Konatsu before putting the mask back on in the hopes that no one noticed. Kaya Toribami was happy to win with her new Mexican friend but being a masked wrestler herself, she understands how scary a moment like that can be.

Ryo Mizunami was just as confused as the OCHA NORMA fans in attendance when her match began with Raku & Pom Harajuku taking a nap in the ring, causing their opponents to do the same thing. She woke Raku up and got attacked by her by mistake so the match could go ahead. Mizunami’s team eventually got on the same page and she was able to pin Chika Nanase with the Spear to win.

With a Princess Tag Team Titles shot coming up around the corner, Haru Kazashiro unveiled an upgraded version of her Arm Stretch submission hold. She can now set it up like a Codebreaker and then keep it applied in a way that looks like the Sol Naciente that Masato Yoshino from Dragon Gate used to do. The move that Kazashiro used is now called the Izayoi, which refers to the 16th night of the month that takes place after a full moon… Oh wait, there’s also something here that says it’s a Tokustatsu reference so that’s probably where she got the name from. Anyway, even though Arisu Endo took care of HIMAWARI and left the match up to Uta Takami, Kazashiro turned the tables and used the Izayoi to make Takami give up.

Midway through the show there was a special challenge that pitted TJPW against OCHA NORMA. It was an all out Rock Paper Scissors battle between the two sides. Haru Kazashiro and Pom Harajuku lost their games but Shino Suzuki saved the day for the TJPW team, winning the final game that was worth three points so TJPW ended up beating OCHA NORMA 3-2.

There were three musical performances held throughout the show in between the matches. OCHA NORMA performed for the majority of them but The Up Up Girls (Pro Wrestling) took part in the opening segment. They played two of their own songs along with an OCHA NORMA cover that the actual OCHA NORMA then joined in for at the end.

Nakayama’s reign as the Iron Man champion ended not that long after the show had finished. She was approached by Mahiro Kiryu and Shino Suzuki backstage along with the referee Fumirin. Kiryu convinced Nakayama to give up the championship because Nakayama herself does not want to worry about defending the title. However when she declared she was giving up the title, Fumirin noticed she was holding a bottle of ocha tea next to the belt. Fumirin then decided that Nakayama had given up to the ocha tea which means Ocha is now the champion, not Kiryu!
