SUPER JAPAN “SHINJUKU FACE COUNTDOWN SERIES ~GOODBYE SHINJUKU FACE~”, 28/09/2026
Shinjuku FACE
??? Fans – Unannounced

1. GAJI Debut Match: Shota & Ryoma Tsukamoto defeated GAJI & Makoto Oishi when Shota pinned Oishi with the Gannosuke Clutch (8:54).
2. Special Tag Match: Marika Kobashi & Azusa Inaba defeated Mio Shirai & Yuuki Minami when Kobashi pinned Shirai after a Back Drop from Inaba (5:29).
3. Special Tag Match: Kumadori & Saira defeated Kuroshio TOKYO Japan & Yuki Kamifuku when Kumadori pinned Kuroshio with the Corkscrew Senton (12:10).
4. Special Single Match: CIMA defeated Ken Ohka with the Meteora (12:31).
5. 4 Way Tag Match: Brahman Shu & Brahman Kei defeated Sanshiro Takagi & Ippanjin Munenori Sawa, Thanomsak Toba & Gym Trainer Kotoka and Fuminori Abe & Mac Matsushita when Shu pinned Takagi after the Gotai Fumanzoku (14:08).
6. Iron Man Heavymetalweight Title: Yuji Nagata (c) defeated Satoshi Kojima with the Back Drop Hold (13:28).
*V? for Yuji Nagata.
-. Iron Man Heavymetalweight Title: Sanshiro Takagi defeated Yuji Nagata (c) with a Cradle (9:10 pm).
*Sanshiro Takagi becomes the 1,912th champion.

The last time Yuji Nagata and Satoshi Kojima had a singles match against each other was eleven years ago at the 2015 G1 Climax. Today stood across the ring from each other as part of the Shinjuku FACE Countdown Series. An added bonus was Nagata being the Iron Man Heavymetalweight Champion going into the match (he very briefly lost it and won it back from Manabu Nakanishi during an interview for his Youtube channel during the week) which meant the main event now had a title on the line. This was treated as a much bigger deal than previous Iron Man Title bouts because Shuichi Nishinaga from NOAH was brought in to be the referee, Fumihito Kihara formerly of All Japan was the special ring announcer and Masayuki Uchida was part of the pre-match ceremony.

Nagata defeated Kojima to successfully defend the title by using a Kneel Kick, an Enzuigiri and then the Back Drop Hold for the three count. He thanked the fans afterward because their cheers gave him strength. He also told Kojima to continue doing his best because the two of them are the last remaining wrestlers from New Japan’s “Third Generation” that are still active. Sanshiro Takagi then gathered everyone together to close out the show. Since this is Super Japan’s final show in Shinjuku FACE, Takagi hopes the promotion will find a new venue to continue running shows with Nagata as the company ace. Suddenly when Nagata was saying his catchphrase, his young lion at ringside Tatsuya Matsumoto tried to roll him up to win the title! Nagata kicked out but was so distracted by what happened that Takagi then rolled him up and got the pinfall to become the new champion.

Years of traumatic history hung over Ken Ohka’s match with CIMA. Ohka, believe it or not, was originally a Toryumon student way back in the day but flunked out of there and never debuted for the promotion. His failure put him in a dark place but he continued to seek out a pro wrestling career because he loves it so much. He knows CIMA has gone through some rough times too so he encouraged him to keep wrestling even if his limbs ever stop working. CIMA admitted he’s been scammed four times in his life and the most recent was a wire transfer scam that many other people fall for. He joked that he holds the record for the highest financial loss in history.

Fuminori Abe got a little too giddy over the occasion and told everyone during his match he would spray paint the word “Anal” onto the wall. He lived up to his word. He was apologetic about it at the end of the show and promised to clean off the graffiti. I don’t know if he properly cleaned it away but he at least sprayed more paint on the wall to cover up the word.

If Kuroshio TOKYO Japan was going to team up with Yuki Kamifuku, he was going to do it on Kamiyu’s terms. She pulled off Kuroshio’s jacket before the match and made him wear her own entrance jacket. He asked everyone if he looked cute but Saira in particular said no. Kuroshio later grabbed Saira into a Full Nelson and told Kamifuku to call her ugly but she refused. Saira damaged Kuroshio’s ego further when he had a dance off with Kumadori and Saira said Kumadori looked cooler. Kuroshio hit her with an Enzuigiri and also knocked down Kamifuku so the match would just be between him and Kumadori. Kamifuku got revenge by giving her tag partner the Diving Famouser. The other team followed up with Saira hitting the Sky Twister Press followed by Kumadori doing the Corkscrew Senton for the victory.

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “SHINJUKU FACE COUNTDOWN SERIES – I WON’T CRY THERE’S NO WAY I WILL CRY” Results

September 27, 2026

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “SHINJUKU FACE COUNTDOWN SERIES – I WON’T CRY THERE’S NO WAY I WILL CRY”, 27/09/2026
Shinjuku FACE
500 Fans – Super No Vacancy Full House

1. Shoko Nakajima defeated Momo Sato with the Northern Lights Suplex (5:19).
2. HIMAWARI & Mifu Ashida defeated Ren Konatsu & Shion Kanzaki when Ashida pinned Kanzaki with the Cheerful Kick (11:02).
3. 3 Way Match: Raku defeated Mizuki and Pom Harajuku when Raku pinned Harajuku with the Hurricane Turn (8:47).
4. Shinjuku FACE Memorial 6-Woman Tag Match – “I ♡ Shinjuku FACE” Fall Rules: Hyper Misao, Shino Suzuki & Uta Takami defeated Mahiro Kiryu, Toga & Kira Summer when Misao pinned Summer with the I Am A Hero (13:08).
5. Yuki Kamifuku defeated Wakana Uehara with the Diving Famouser (10:34).
6. Miu Watanabe, Rika Tatsumi & Sakura Hattori defeated Yuki Aino, Haru Kazashiro & Chika Nanase when Tatsumi pinned Nanase with the Daydream Eternity (15:23).
7. CASPA Presents Tag Match: Suzume & Arisu Endo defeated Yuki Arai & Miyu Yamashita when Suzume pinned Arai with the Ring A Bell (17:08).

Today’s double header in Shinjuku FACE is the chance for DDT and Tokyo Joshi Pro to say their goodbyes to the venue as part of the Shinjuku FACE Countdown Series. TJPW were up first with their go home show for “WRESTLE PRINCESS VII”. It is here that Suzume scored a clean and direct pinfall over Yuki Arai while Arisu Endo got a boost in confidence going up against Miyu Yamashita. It helps that Daisy Monkey has the better experience with tagging together than Arai & Yamashita do. Yamashita accidentaly got Arai with a High Kick and Daisy Monkey took advantage, isolating Arai until Suzume could pin her with the Ring A Bell. Afterward Suzume praised Arai for being strong but also said she now found the path to beating her for the Princess Of Princess Title. Arai accepts that she still has room to grow stronger and she will be the one still standing next week. Yamashita on the other hand is having lots of fun wrestling Endo and can’t help but get excited just from seeing the smile on Endo’s face. Endo told her she will give Yamashita goosebumps in their EVE International Title match.

Daydream seems to have gotten over their relationship trouble and are now back on the same page. There was still tension between Miu Watanabe & Rika Tatsumi at the start of their match, particularly when it came to who wanted fight Chika Nanase more. But Daydream got back in sync to stop an attack from Yuki Aino and hugged each other to show their problems are now water under the bridge. Sakura Hattori did her part to set Daydream up for the victory too. Tatsumi says the team’s bond has grown stronger and nobody can break it now. Aino told Haru Kazashiro they need to go do some serious training at a particular place if they want to beat Daydream next week. When Tatsumi heard that she said there is not enough time left for Shunrai Rekka!! Prism Greed to get strong enough.

The final singles match between Yuki Kamifuku and Wakana Uehara got a bit heated at the beginning. Uehara blocked an Eye Poke attempt from Kamifuku. Then when she offered out her hands for a handshake, Kamifuku slapped her across the face instead. Uehara tried using the Banana Pillow to win and even got to move Kamiyu back to the centre of the ring. But Kamiyu fought for the rope break, avoided the Sushi Tornado and won the match with the Diving Famouser. After the match she approached Uehara for a hug only to push her away and give her the middle fingers Stone Cold style. Backstage she admitted she’s been keeping her distance from Uehara ever since Ober Eats lost the Princess Tag Team Titles. It was all to make Uehara learn how to stand on her own two feet. She compares it to a lion pushing its cub out of the den and she is glad to see Uehara is growing without her. Uehara said she is now really fired up for her and Toga to fight VENYU next week.

Match #4 featured all of the active TJPW wrestlers who made their debuts in Shinjuku FACE. Both teams agreed to add a special rule to the match for the occasion. A wrestler would have to shout out their love for Shinjuku FACE or something they like about the venue before applying a pin in order for it to count. A wrestler could do the same while they are trapped in a submission hold to get out of it as if it was a rope break. During the match Uta Takami said you can the the ring from anywhere in the room and they also sell delicious ice cream. Mahiro Kiryu apologised for the weird rules before saying the venue is packed with pro wrestling history. Kira Summer praised the staff for working hard to explain things to her in English. Shino Suzuki said it is a warm venue and very welcoming even if you forget your wrestling costume. Kiryu told a story about having her debut here in front of friends and family but Suzuki cut her off because it was too long. Hyper Misao brought up that she cut a promo in her debut match here and that’s why she is still here today. It was also where Misao suddenly declared her retirement then changed her mind so the six wrestlers agreed to pause the match and “graduate” from Shinjuku FACE by bowing together in gratitude for the staff and everything else in the building. Misao then shouted that she loves Shinjuku FACE and went on to pin Summer for the victory.

Before the 3 Way Match began, Pom Harajuku stole both Mizuki’s Pico Pico Hammer and Raku’s pillow. She laid both in the middle of the ring and challenged the two to play a Hit And Cover version of Rock Paper Scissors where the winner gets to grab their weapon and hit the loser with it. Mizuki and Raku got annoyed with the game and both decided to hit Harajuku with their weapons instead. There was also a point Harajuku had both of her shoes taken off as well as one of Raku’s. Everyone then tried to fight each other armed with one shoe each.

The entire locker room gathered together at the end of the show. Yamashita said getting to Shinjuku FACE was the first goal TJPW wanted to accomplish in their early years. Back then there wasn’t as many roster members or fans in the audience but over time TJPW grew and is now able to sell out their shows. Yamashita believes Shinjuku FACE played a huge role in making TJPW what it is today and it is sad to see the venue go away.

7. CASPA Presents Tag Match: Yuki Arai & Miyu Yamashita Vs Suzume & Arisu Endo

The last Tokyo Joshi Pro event in Shinjuku FACE is also the go home show for “WRESTLE PRINCESS VII”. This is the last chance for the two Daisy Monkey wrestlers to get everything in place for their title matches. Suzume thinks she almost has Yuki Arai figured out. Can’t quite say the same for Arisu Endo in regards to Miyu Yamashita at the moment though. That Tokyo Princess Cup match from last year is drifting further and further away as time moves on.

Nothing solves problems in a relationship better than throwing a ninja into them mix, that’s what I always say.

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “TJPW FALL TOUR ~RAY OF HOPE IN TAKASAKI~” Results

September 23, 2026

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “TJPW FALL TOUR ~RAY OF HOPE IN TAKASAKI~”, 23/09/2026
Gunma G-Messe Main Hall BC
297 Fans – Super No Vacancy

1. Wakana Uehara defeated Shion Kanzaki with the Banana Pillow (8:24).
2. Raku & Pom Harajuku defeated Hyper Misao & Ren Konatsu when Raku pinned Konatsu with the Doctor Yellow (9:36).
3. Mizuki defeated Momo Sato with the Southern Cross (7:52).
4. 3 Way Match: Shoko Nakajima defeated Arisu Endo and Shino Suzuki when Nakajima pinned Suzuki with an Inverted Hurricanrana (8:08).
5. Yuki Aino, Haru Kazashiro & Uta Takami defeated Miu Watanabe, Rika Tatsumi & Kira Summer when Aino pinned Summer with the Venus DDT (12:27).
6. Yuki Arai, HIMAWARI & Mifu Ashida defeated Suzume, Toga & Chika Nanase when Arai submitted Nanase with the Scorpion Death Lock (15:04).
7. Yuki Kamifuku & Mahiro Kiryu defeated Miyu Yamashita & Sakura Hattori when Kiryu pinned Hattori with the Spinebuster (12:51).

This year’s show in Gunma made Mahiro Kiryu more emotional than it usually would. It is not only her homecoming show but was the last time she and Yuki Kamifuku were teaming up together in the area as the Toyo Mates before Kamifuku retires at the end of the year. During the main event Kiryu tried to do her Dogeza Knee Drop onto Miyu Yamashita but Yamashita started to power herself out of it. Kamiyu stopped that by poking Yamashita in the eye and then she knelt onto Sakura Hattori so she could join in on the apology. Kiryu apologised to everyone for all of the times Kamiyu blinded her opponents over the last nine years. Kamifuku saved Kiryu from taking a German Suplex from Yamashita and the two got rid of Yamashita with a Wheelbarrow/Famouser combo. Kiryu was then able to beat Hattori by herself giving Toyo Mates something of an upset win over K!SS//.

After the match Kiryu talked about how she and Kamifuku are the same age and went to Toyo University at the same time but were complete strangers to each other until they met through Tokyo Joshi Pro. Now that this match is over it’s finally hitting Kiryu that Kamifuku is retiring soon. Kamifuku said when she was looking for a tag team partner she wanted a beautiful and stylish older sister type like her first tag partner Yuna Manase. She thought Kiryu was ordinary, plain and had no standout qualities but seeing her today full of confidence and proudly fighting a main event match in front of her hometown is so cool! Kamifuku can now graduate from TJPW with peace of mind knowing that Kiryu has become a cool and tough wrestler.

Yuki Arai won another prelim match against Suzume, making Chika Nanase tap out to the Scorpion Death Lock while Mifu Ashida held Suzume back from breaking the hold. Arai can feel the momentum building up behind her but she expects Suzume to kick things up a notch for the remaining matches before “WRESTLE PRINCESS VII”. Arai is now thinking she might hold a side of herself Suzume hasn’t seen yet back until then. Suzume said watching Arai win the match right in front of her has lit a fire inside as she gathers clues on how to beat her. By the time they fight for the Princess Of Princess Title, Suzume is sure she will win it.

The arguments haven’t stopped between Miu Watanabe and Rika Tatsumi. They were bickering over who should start the match today which allowed the other team to get the jump on them. Poor Kira Summer found herself in the middle of Daydream’s problems their attempts to help her out only made things worse. Daydream seemed to finally get on the same page when they both did Backbreakers to Haru Kazashiro & Uta Takami but Tatsumi then complained that the move hurt her too and she started arguing with Watanabe again. Shunrai Rekka!! Prism Greed took advantage and picked their opponents apart until Yuki Aino pinned Summer with the Venus DDT. Tatsumi chose to help Summer back after the match while Watanabe kept her distance away from her partner. Backstage Daydream apologized to each other but neither were happy with the other’s apology so they stormed off in separate directions while Summer didn’t know what to do.

When Hyper Misao mentioned that she loves the mascot Gunma-chan during her pre-match speech, Pom Harajuku told her that Gunma-chan was here at the show today! It turned out to be Raku wearing a paper Gunma-chan mask. Misao & Ren Konatsu didn’t fall for the trick but Harajuku joined in the fun by wearing a rubber horse mask to fit in with Raku.

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “WRESTLE PRINCESS VII”, 03/10/2026
Tokyo EBARA WAVE Arena Ota

1. Chieri Sakimori Debut Match: Chieri Sakimori Vs X
2. Aja Kong, Sakura Hattori & Kumadori Vs Chris Brookes, Kira Summer & Chika Nanase
3. 3 Way Tag Match: Raku & Minimo Vs Pom Harajuku & Pokotan Vs Mahiro Kiryu & Tama

7. EVE International Title: Miyu Yamashita (c) Vs Arisu Endo
8. Princess Tag Team Titles: Miu Watanabe & Rika Tatsumi (c) Vs Yuki Aino & Haru Kazashiro
9. Princess Of Princess Title: Yuki Arai (c) Vs Suzume

We’re getting an International Championship match on the show after all, just not the International Princess Title. Instead it is the EVE International Title that will be on the line when Miyu Yamashita and Arisu Endo have their rematch from last year’s Tokyo Princess Cup. Just because Endo won last time doesn’t mean she believes she has now made it up to equal footing with Yamashita. Winning a championship off her sure would confirm it though.

The challenger for Shoko Nakajima has been found. It’s the return of Zara Zakher to Tokyo Joshi Pro! Her last appearance in TJPW was at the 2025 Las Vegas show during WrestleMania Weekend. Since then she had been signed to a WWE ID deal and according to TJPW that project was a reason why Zakher hasn’t come back to Japan until now. In the meantime she still had faint connections to TJPW in America thanks to Kitsune booking her in matches against Yamashita and Kamifuku. Now for her first match back in Japan she gets to challenge Nakajima for the SETUP All Asia Women’s Title.

Something I completely forgot when Go Nagai got involved with the marketing for this show is the man is responsible for creating the character of Jushin Liger in the first place! So since Nagai is part of the show, let’s have Liger get involved too. He’s been selected to be the referee for a match between Mizuki and Hyper Misao. Both wrestlers think they will benefit from Liger’s officiating, Mizuki because she claims to be a good girl and Misao because she claims to be a super hero.

The newest rookie in TJPW is Chieri Sakimori, the first person to debut after coming through TJPW’s wrestling camps that are held several times a month at their dojo. Sakimori is from Fukuoka and stands 154cm tall. She discovered TJPW from their collab show with OCHA NORMA last December and has a rhythmic gymnastics background from her elementary and junior high school years. She also currently runs a salon, working there as an eyelash artist.

There is expected to be one or two more matches added to the card before it gets finalized.

DDT “ULTIMATE PARTY 2026”, 03/11/2026

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “HYPE! 4 ~PRAYER PLAYER~” Results

September 15, 2026

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “HYPE! 4 ~PRAYER PLAYER~”, 15/09/2026
Tokyo Kitazawa Town Hall
237 Fans – Super No Vacancy Full House

1. Special Single Match: Miyu Yamashita defeated Chika Nanase with the Skull Kick (11:31).

We once more enter into the mind of Hyper Misao for the latest episode of her creative endeavor “HYPE!”. This is the fourth year in a row the show has taken place and it wasted little time in highlighting who the main character was going to be this time. The story begins with Chika Nanase training by herself during a night at Kanda Myojin in Tokyo. After finishing her prayer at the shrine, she found Misao’s mask on the ground in front of her. Next thing she knows, she is pulled into another world. Instead of Kanda Myojin, Nanase is now in a realm called Can Do Myojin!

Nanase suddenly found herself inside a ring wearing the kind of uniform worn by a delinquent biker. Before she could figure out what happened she was approached by a woman named Shino-sen (Shino Suzuki), a teacher from the Private Tokyo Joshi Pro Wrestling Academy. Shino-sen wanted to remind “Chika Nanakuse” that fighting is prohibited in the Academy and it was time to get back to the premises. However when the two tried to exit the ring, an invisible forcefield prevented them from leaving.

With Chika and Shino stuck inside the ring, a maid suddenly walked in and began to communicate with them by using the translation feature on her phone. She introduced herself as Autumn (Kira Summer), the guide of Can Do Myojin. This place is a shrine dedicated to the Goddesses Of Pro Wrestling and is regarded as an urban legend because most people could never find it. Among those who have come across the shrine, very few of them have actually gotten to meet any of the Goddesses in person. Chika began to panic thinking she would be trapped here and never return to her world. Shino figured that they must go find the Goddesses because only they would know the way out.

Autumn lead the group towards a nearby club where they could hear music coming from inside. There they found a pair of dancers who were hyping up the crowd with a party atmosphere. They are the Goddesses Of Pro Wrestling Entrance (Yuki Kamifuku & Rika Tatsumi)! According to the Goddesses, the entrance is 90% of what makes pro wrestling important. If you can master the entrance then you can master the match! Chika asked them how she could get home but they mistook her for a chauffeur and ordered her to go get some high end sushi from Ginza before carrying the two of them home. Shino stepped up for Chika and challenged the Goddesses to a Pro Wrestling God Battle then pretty much beat them all by herself! The Goddesses bestowed a feathered boa to Chika as a lucky charm but then admitted they do not know how she can leave the shrine. They also revealed something very dangerous about Can Do Myojin. If a human being loses a wrestling match in this place, they get erased from existence!

A pair of idols then entered the ring and together they sang the song “Samishii Nettaigyo”. They then left when they were finished. Autumn told the others that the idols are also Goddesses so they all snuck backstage to go speak to them. They found them relaxing in their dressing room, speaking to each with thick country accents while eating their favorite snacks. It turns out they are Wing, the Goddesses Of Pro Wrestling Gap (Raku & Ren Konatsu) who represent the differences between a wrestler’s in-ring persona and their normal everyday self. Chika admits this is something she doesn’t have in her wrestling career so the Goddesses decided to tie her up in a chair and study for a quiz so she can learn how to market herself better. Shino came to rescue Chika again and the two defeated the idols in another Pro Wrestling God Battle. The Goddesses handed over their spray can to Chika as another lucky charm along with a map. They do not know how Chika can get home but they think there is somebody nearby on the map who does know the answer.

The revving of motorbike engines could be heard in the distance where Kudo Toka (Toga) and her gang of delinquents (Haru Kazashiro & Uta Takami) gathered together for a performance of “Arashi no Sugao”. It turns out Toka recently is suffering from a broken heart and the sudden sight of Chika wearing a biker uniform convinced her that Chika was her ex-partner’s new flame! Things were about to kick off between Chika and Toka when a voice suddenly told them to hold on a minute. Good news, “One Night Carnival” began to play. Bad news, Yuko Miyamoto is not part of the story so the song wasn’t for him. Instead it was for the legendary pro wrestling gang boss Kojisho Kiryu (Mahiro Kiryu)! Toka then started an argument, accusing Kojisho of dumping her to go visit a woman named Akemi. Kojisho tried to explain that Akemi is the name of his grandmother and he gave Toka a big kiss to prove he still loves her. That wasn’t enough to smooth things over so Shino stepped in to slap some sense into the couple. It turns out that Kojisho and Toka are the Goddesses Of Pro Wrestling Trust. They thanked Chika and her crew for helping their relationship and rewarded them with the most divine lucky charm of them all, a barbed wire baseball bat! Unfortunately they don’t know how Chika can leave Can Do Myojin but Kojisho can take them on a bike ride over to meet the Goddess who can help them.

Just when it looked like progress had been made and their destination was right in front of them, betrayal struck when Autumn suddenly attacked Shino with the lucky charms. She revealed that she is not a maid from the shrine but is actually Kira Summer for real! She fell into this world before Nanase did and wanted the Goddesses to grant her a wish. Only one wish can come true so Kira was using Chika and Shino the entire time in order to bring her here. Chika was able to grab the barbed wire bat away from Kira and told her she doesn’t like to use weapons like this. Kira grabbed the bat back but couldn’t bring herself to hit Chika with it. The two embraced each other and agreed to find their way home so they can wrestle together again.

That didn’t impress Shino though. She had recovered from Kira’s ambush and made fun of her for letting go of her opportunity when it finally appeared in front of her. She then told Chika that her acting like a true friend was boring because when it comes to pro wrestling, only one person can win in the end. You can’t get by from being nice and that’s probably why Chika can’t get any stronger. It was time for Shino to transform and reveal who she really is. There was never a Shino-sen from the Private Tokyo Joshi Pro Wrestling Academy to begin with. This whole time she was the supreme Goddess Of Pro Wrestling (Mizuki) in disguise! She had some spare time and was feeling bored so she decided to tease the human wrestler that suddenly appeared in her shrine. She also doesn’t appreciate that Kira lied about being a maid here so she deserved to be punished. A Pro Wrestling God Battle took place pitting Chika & Kira against the Goddess’ fox spirits Hasuke (Haru Kazashiro) & Ukaku (Uta Takami). Chika & Kira fought them off but were outmatched when the Goddess herself entered the fray. She jumped off the top rope to strike Kira with her parasol but Chika jumped in the way, sacrificing herself to save her friend.

The Goddess pinned Chika for the three count and Chika accepted her fate to be erased from existence. However Chika woke up to find just herself and the Goddess in the ring together. The Goddess explained she misunderstood the rule about losing matches in Can Do Myojin. A human does not get erased from existence when they lose. In fact, losing the match is how they return home to their own world! Before she can leave though, Nanase would be granted a wish by the Goddess. Nanase said she has always struggled with expressing her emotions to others. When she was in school she could never speak her mind and even though she tried not to ruin people’s moods, she knew they would badmouth her behind her back. By the time she was in junior high she got used to it and just expected that’s what the rest of her life would be. But then she discovered pro wrestling and everything that was cool about it. Seeing people regardless of their gender clash with everything they have to convey their feelings made her believe she can do what she wants to do too. She found TJPW and was drawn to how the promotion had no factions or face/heel divide. Instead the wrestlers would fight each other with mutual respect and love from the moment the bell rang. She signed up to be a rookie, made her debut and now she is a wrestler. She may never be fully comfortable with herself but she is grateful to her past self for making the decision to join the company. Her wish is to continue wrestling in this ring and walk the same path with everyone in TJPW. The Goddess (or probably Mizuki herself at this point) said she never knew that Chika felt this way but there are many others here who feel just like Chika does. She told Chika to rely on others more and trust them. There will come a time when she has to face herself on a deeper level but when they going gets tough, she should be able to ask the others for help. The Goddess always thought Chika was a goofball so she came up with an idea for her to fight the ultimate goofball when she gets back to her home…

Nanase woke up and found herself back outside the Kanda Myojin shrine and saw that Hyper Misao was approaching her. Misao was there to ask if Nanase would like to take the lead role for “HYPE! 4”? She said yes without hesitation and the show went right back to the beginning. This time we are inside Kitazawa Town Hall for real as Chika Nanase was now about to fight Miyu Yamashita in a first time ever singles bout between the two! Nanase was able to put up a spirited fight and dodged the Return Crash to hit Yamashita with the John Woo Dropkick. She then tried hitting Yamashita with as many Elbow Strikes as she could, finally hitting her enough times to knock her down. She couldn’t lock in the Inari Torii though and Yamashita almost knocked her out with a High Kick. Both women fired each other up to fight even harder until Yamashita ended the match with the Skull Kick.

After the match Yamashita got on the microphone and said today was the first time she looked into Nanase’s eyes and she could feel her heart start racing from the tension. Just like Mizuki earlier, today was the first time Yamashita learned about Nanase’s true feelings. Yamashita has loved TJPW for 13 years and fighting here is what makes her so strong. Today’s match with Nanase reminded her all over again how glad she is that she gets to keep stepping into the ring. She loves Nanase’s straightforward nature and kindness to others. She doesn’t have to be perfect, lord knows Yamashita certainly isn’t, but she can embrace her flaws while believing in herself and have confidence in who she is. Nanase thanked Yamashita for the match. She described it as incredibly painful, agonizing and terrifying but the joy in competing inspires her to keep going. She is overjoyed to live her life alongside everyone in TJPW while doing the pro wrestling she loves. She hopes everyone will continue to support her.

Hyper Misao then appeared in her Producer form. She congratulated Nanase on a great job then asked the “Victims Support Group” rest of the cast for their thoughts on the show. Yuki Kamifuku said this was her first time acting in anything and even though her lines were short it was still nerve wracking for her. But she sees this show as an important stop on her road to retirement and she made some incredible memories out of it. Shino Suzuki didn’t realize just how many lines she had to learn this time but by the end of the show it made her glad she is a part of TJPW. Mizuki said one of her parts in the script was simply labelled “Free” and she didn’t understand what it meant. It was for her speech to Nanase and she believes what she said in that scene is exactly what Misao and others would have wanted to say too.

Nanase got to talk about how she only played bit roles in the two previous “HYPE!” shows so when she was approached for this leading role, she was happy to be doing more than play an izakaya employee. She didn’t understand why she got the role but when Mizuki gave her speech, she realised shw was chosen because the role was specifically for her. Misao revealed that she hadn’t planned to do a “HYPE!” show this year but Tetsuya Koda went ahead and booked one without asking her. She felt last year’s show was a disaster leading up to it because the script was only finished three days before it took place. This time she had no choice but to do it and Nanase came to mind as the choice for the lead role. She realised she didn’t know much about Nanase at all and that made her want to learn who Nanase is even more. She thinks “HYPE! 4” is a success all because it was about Nanase. Now that it’s over, everyone close out the show by shouting the catchphrase “I get HYPE! We get HYPE!”

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “TJPW FALL TOUR ~RAY OF HOPE IN SHINKIBA~” Results

September 14, 2026

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “TJPW FALL TOUR ~RAY OF HOPE IN SHINKIBA~”, 12/09/2026
Shin-Kiba 1st RING
280 Fans – Super No Vacancy

1. HIMAWARI defeated Shion Kanzaki with the Half Crab Hold (9:39).
2. Mizuki, Uta Takami & Mifu Ashida defeated Raku, Pom Harajuku & Chika Nanase when Mizuki pinned Nanase with the Diving Foot Stomp (9:02).
3. Shoko Nakajima & Hyper Misao defeated Wakana Uehara & Momo Sato when Nakajima pinned Sato with an Inside Cradle (8:10).
4. Yuki Kamifuku defeated Shino Suzuki with the Famouser (9:20).
5. Miu Watanabe, Rika Tatsumi & Toga defeated Yuki Aino, Haru Kazashiro & Ren Konatsu when Watanabe submitted Kazashiro with the Reverse Paradox (15:51).
6. Yuki Arai, Miyu Yamashita & Sakura Hattori defeated Suzume, Arisu Endo & Kira Summer when Yamashita pinned Summer with the Attitude Adjustment (17:27).

A fire has been lit up beneath Arisu Endo and it’s all because of Miyu Yamashita and the EVE International Title! She interrupted Yamashita’s victory speech after the main event to tell her she wants the two of them to be on equal footing. She’s beaten Yamashita the last time they had a singles match at last year’s Tokyo Princess Cup but that wasn’t enough to make her become her rival. So Endo now wants to win the EVE International Title from Yamashita in order to surpass her! Yamashita told Endo she is late because she’s had all these years to let her know how she feels. Just challenging her for the title isn’t enough to get on her level. Endo asserted herself and confirmed she will beat Yamashita and win the title from her. The two shook hands to confirm the match until Endo hit Yamashita with an Elbow Strike across the chin. Yamashita didn’t expect that and told her partners today is the first time she ever saw Endo have that look of determination on her face. The title match is set for “WRESTLE PRINCESS VII” at 3rd October.

While all of this was going on, Yuki Arai came to the conclusion that her current level isn’t good enough yet to beat Suzume based on how Suzume’s been wrestling against her lately. Watching Endo stand up to Yamashita right in front of her made Arai think she cannot afford to lose against wrestlers from her own generation. Sakura Hattori almost feels left out because the match announced for “WRESTLE PRINCESS VII” with her and Kira Summer in it has nothing at stake. However she made a guarantee to the fans that her match will not only be entertaining but also so intense it will make their eyes water! Backstage Endo admitted she doesn’t know much about EVE the British wrestling promotion or what value Yamashita’s championship has over there. She just thought the belt looked so cool when Yamashita came back to Japan with it. But if she wins the title she will go defend it in the UK even if she has to travel there by herself. She also denies ever hitting Yamashita with an Elbow Strike after the match.

Today felt like a breeze for Daydream. They were victorious over Shunrai Rekka!! Prism Greed in a 6-Woman Tag and know what to expect of their next challengers. They are well aware of what Yuki Aino brings to the table and Miu Watanabe felt Haru Kazashiro fought within her expectations. She noticed how dejected she looked after losing the match though and wants Kazashiro to step up for the Princess Tag Team Titles match next month. Rika Tatsumi agreed and thinks the only way Prism Greed can beat them is if they fight with a burning and fierce intensity. They need to stir up a storm instead of a breeze!

Shino Suzuki altered her tour guide spot for Yuki Kamifuku during their match. When she pointed over to her spot, she said it was the bright future of Kamiyu who is racing towards retirement while staying beautiful to the very end.

We are a few days away until “HYPE! 4” and Hyper Misao did something very rash. She had already completed her draft for the script but decided to wipe it clean and start again from scratch! She brought her laptop to the ring so she would type out her new script and left Shoko Nakajima to wrestle Wakana Uehara & Momo Sato by herself. Luckily for Nakajima, Misao finished her new draft midway through the match and got back to the ring to even the odds. The rookie Sato got the upper hand and gave Misao a Body Slam only for the pin to not count because Misao was not tagged in. Nakajima then rolled up Sato from behind for the three count, giving Kyoraku Kyomei the victory.

It was announced earlier in the day that Mizuki and Hyper Misao will face each other at “WRESTLE PRINCESS VII” in a match that has Jushin Liger as the special guest referee! Misao is especially excited about it because she is also a masked wrestler with a cape like Liger is. She claims to always fight fair and square so she has high hopes that Liger’s officiating will meet her standards. Mizuki was baffled by the idea at first but has come around to thinking that Liger’s officiating will work out in her favor in the end. After all, she’s such a good girl while Misao is a villainous hero.

A brand new wrestlers will make her debut on “WRESTLE PRINCESS VII”. Chieri Sakimori is from Fukuoka and she discovered Tokyo Joshi Pro from attending the OCHA NORMA collab show that took place last December. She then took part in TJPW’s Women’s Pro Wrestling Camp that runs in their dojo several times a month and made the decision to become a pro wrestler.

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “TJPW FALL TOUR ~RAY OF HOPE IN YOKOHAMA~”, 05/09/2026
Yokohama Radiant Hall
251 Fans – Super No Vacancy

1. Pom Harajuku defeated Shion Kanzaki with the Pom de Justice (6:45).
2. 3 Way Match: Hyper Misao defeated Chika Nanase and Ren Konatsu when Misao pinned Konatsu with La Magistral Cradle (11:07).
3. Mizuki & Uta Takami defeated Shoko Nakajima & Momo Sato when Mizuki submitted Sato with the Southern Cross (9:54).
4. Yuki Kamifuku defeated Raku with the Famouser (8:43).
5. Rika Tatsumi & Miu Watanabe defeated Kira Summer & Marz when Tatsumi pinned Marz after the Daydream Eternity (10:45).
6. Princess Tag Team Titles Next Challenger Decision Match – 3 Way Tag Match: Yuki Aino & Haru Kazashiro defeated Miyu Yamashita & Sakura Hattori and HIMAWARI & Toga when Aino pinned HIMAWARI after the Updraft!! Overdrive (13:13).
7. Suzume, Arisu Endo & Shino Suzuki defeated Yuki Arai, Wakana Uehara & Mifu Ashida when Suzume pinned Ashida with the Ring A Bell (13:49).

During the main event, Mifu Ashida and Shino Suzuki faced off, pom poms versus tour flag. When they collided Suzuki was left with a broken flag that left her in anguish. Suzume & Arisu Endo helped her get some revenge by grabbing Ashida and getting Suzuki to triple team her. Yuki Arai had Suzume scouted by countering the Ring A Bell into the Full Nelson Buster. However she & Wakana Uehara were taken out by Endo & Suzuki. Then when it all came down to Suzume against Ashida, Suzume got the win by giving her the Ring A Bell. After the match Suzume praised Suzuki for not giving up when her flag got broken. Backstage both Endo & Suzuki gave advice for Suzume to beat Arai. Endo warned her not to move around too much or else her legs could get tangled up. Suzuki said Arai is really into squishy toys right now so Suzume plays with one in front of her it will distract her. Suzume found neither piece of advice to be helpful. Ashida is becoming worried that she is holding Arai back because she is the one losing their tag matches. However Ashida & Uehara told Arai they can be her cheering group while she prepares to defend the Princess Of Princess Title against Suzume next month. The three of them together can become Kyoto x Cheer Tag!

Shunrai Rekka!! Prism Greed came out on top of the 3 Way Match to become the No. 1 Contenders for the Princess Tag Team Titles. They found K!SS// to be the stronger of the two opposing teams but HIMAWARI & Toga were enough of a wild card to keep the other teams on their toes. It got to the point where the third party would always cut someone off from winning the match. Yuki Aino finally found the breakthrough by diving onto Miyu Yamshita & Sakura Hattori outside the ring. She then threw Hattori back in for Kazashiro to give her the Fisherman Buster but HIMAWARI broke the pin. From there Prism Greed fought off HIMAWARI & Toga, leading to Aino & Kazashiro giving HIMAWARI the Updraft!! Overdrive for the victory.

After the match, Daydream climbed into the ring to meet their next challengers. Prism Greed said they are at their absolute best right now but Rika Tatsumi’s response was Daydream is also super motivated. They’re motivated enough that they could fight Prism Greed right now! However, Tatsumi would rather build up excitement for the title match. Miu Watanabe agreed and cannot wait for it to happen on 3rd October. Backstage Kazashiro talked about the overwhelming experience she’s gained since the team last challenged for the titles back in January. Meanwhile Daydream are describing them like a couple that’s just started dating while they themselves are like an old married couple nowadays. K!SS// are frustrated that they haven’t gotten close to the Princess Tag Titles yet but they won’t give up on their goal. Toga thought she & HIMAWARI did pretty well because they aren’t a regular tag team like the others. They’ll continue to work hard together and may even team up again in the future, especially if it means Toga no longer gets hit by HIMAWARI’s Hair Whips.

Raku wanted to give a gift to Yuki Kamifuku at the start of their match. She held a bag and told Kamifuku that inside it was a jacket identical to the one she was wearing right now. Kamiyu took a look inside and Raku suddenly pulled the bag over her head and then Cradled her for a nearfall! Kamiyu got her own back by giving Raku a Double Eyepoke afterwards. Raku later took her own jacket and put it on Kamifuku. It felt so comfy that Kamifuku started feeling sleepy. She was thrown out of the ring and started to take a nap on the floor so Raku dragged her up to the entrance. Raku then told the ref to silently count up to 20 so she could win by count out. The plan was working until Rise Shirai announced on the microphone that the count reached 10, immediately waking Kamifuku up. She got back in the ring to beat Raku up and win the match.

The next “HYPE!” show is coming up soon and Hyper Misao still hasn’t finished her script yet, as usual. She brought her laptop to the ring and told her opponents she was withdrawing from the 3 Way Match so she could make progress with her work. Ren Konatsu didn’t believe her and attacked her from behind to start the match. Chika Nanase joined in and the two stomped away while Misao tried to protect her laptop. Misao had no choice but to wrestle the match. Konatsu grabbed the laptop and threatened to break it until Misao warned her that she’d be responsible for “HYPE! 4” not got going ahead. Konatsu got scared so she handed the laptop to Nanase who then safely gave it over to Fumirin. When Fumirin turned her back to find a place to put down the laptop, Misao sprayed both of her opponents in their faces. She asked Fumirin to hand her back the laptop and then pinned Konatsu with La Magistral Cradle.

There was an announcement of Tokyo Joshi Pro doing a special collaboration with the Choshi Electric Railway for Shion Kanzaki’s homecoming show on 12th October. There will be a train departing from Choshi Station at lunchtime and Raku will serve as the special conductor for the final stretch of the route as the train approaches the nearest station to the show’s venue. Shino Suzuki will also be in charge of the in-train announcements. Keep in mind this is not a train journey exclusive for people going to the show. The regular public will still be on board too!

4. Princess Tag Team Titles: Miu Watanabe & Rika Tatsumi (c) Vs Winners Of 05/09 Decision Match
5. Princess Of Princess Title: Yuki Arai (c) Vs Suzume

Last weekend Shoko Nakajima wrestled at a SETUP show in Thailand and beat Matcha to win the SETUP All Asia Women’s Title. Her first defence is set for “WRESTLE PRINCESS VII” against an opponent to be determined. It has been noted by TJPW that the challenger selection is not limited to Asia and it is possible Nakajima’s opponent could be from anywhere around the world. At this point in her career, Nakajima has become an accomplished wrestler who has competed worldwide and is ready to be tested by whoever TJPW or SETUP can find.

DDT “NANIWA PRO WRESTLING ROAD 2026”, 04/10/2026
Osaka City Higashiyodogawa Ward Kumin Hall

1. Naomi Yoshimura 10th Anniversary Debut Match ~ Special Single Match: Zeus Vs Naomi Yoshimura

A few weeks back Naomi Yoshimura let everyone know that he asked DDT for to book a particular opponent for his 10th Anniversary match scheduled for October. DDT honored his request and it’s now been revealed his opponent is going to be Zeus! The Osaka strongman was the person who originally opened the doors for Yoshimura to get into pro wrestling through his bodybuilding gym. When Yoshimura graduated from high school, he trained under Zeus and credits him for turning his dream of becoming a pro wrestler into reality. Zeus has kept himself busy these past few years with running Osaka Pro, the company he was successfully able to revive back in 2022. He doesn’t wrestle outside of his home promotion that often so for DDT to get him on board for a match that means a lot to Yoshimura is quite a big deal.

DDT Around The World – August 2026

September 1, 2026

There is going to come a point where I have to rename this series TJPW Around The World because DDT is solely focusing on their domestic business right now while Tokyo Joshi Pro’s wings are well and truly spread by now. Konosuke Takeshita is the DDT link that keeps the current name remaining for now and I think it won’t last that way forever. TJPW’s international plan has returned to the stage where their wrestlers are winning, defending or challenging for other company’s championships. It’s a nice reminder that these women still have a lot to offer now that they’re no longer being needed for TJPW’s main event scene. As we approach the final months of the year we have another Dallas return to look forward to. What 2027 will have on offer is currently a mystery.

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

1. Miki Fortune & Zak Sabbath defeated Kira Summer & Havok when Fortune pinned Summer after a Double Stomp/Death Valley Driver Combo (?:??).

At the end of July we saw that Kira Summer was able to beat her sister Miki Fortune in a match that dragged the whole family into their drama. They faced off again a couple of days later in Riot City Wrestling this time in an intergender tag match. Fortune teamed up with her husband Zak Sabbath to beat Summer and her tag partner Havok. Victory came thanks to Sabbath spitting Mist into Havok’s face, leaving Summer helpless against the two-on-one disadvantage from that point onward.


AEW “COLLISION”, 26/08/2026 (Aired 29/08/2026)
OVO Hydro, Glasgow, Scotland

1. Konosuke Takeshita defeated The Beast Mortos with the Raging Fire (10:18).

You know, a match between Takeshita and The Beast Mortos happening in the UK sounds like something that could have happened during the peak era of BritWres. Like during a Super Strong Style 16 weekend or something. Kyle Fletcher would have been nearby either way just like he was here. He attacked Takeshita after the match, hitting him with the AEW International Title and then laying him out with the Brainbuster.


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

1. EVE International Title: Miyu Yamashita (c) defeated Kay Lee Ray with the Skull Kick (26:03).
*V1 for Miyu Yamashita.

London had a packed weekend to close out the month because of AEW’s return to Wembley. Miyu Yamashita had a big role to play on Friday night where she headlined an EVE show against a newly invigorated Kay Lee Ray. She successfully retained the EVE International Title after a hard fought match but things only got more chaotic from there. First, Kris Statlander walked out. She had won the EVE Title earlier in the show and made it known she wants a rematch with Yamashita. However she brushed past Ray to get into the ring, causing Ray to get back in and start a fight with her. Yamashita kept her nose out of their business and let them fight but then Marina Shafir suddenly got in the ring behind Yamashita and grabbed her in a choke hold to leave her laying!


SETUP “UNDER THE SAME MOON – PUMI 15TH ANNIVERSARY SHOW”, 29/08/2026
The Circus Studio, G Village, Bangkok, Thailand

1. SETUP All Asia Women’s Title: Shoko Nakajima defeated Matcha (c) with the Diving Senton (11:16).
*Matcha fails in V6. Shoko Nakajima becomes the 5th SETUP All Asia Women’s Champion!

The Southeast Asian scene reached a milestone this year regarding the promoter and SETUP owner Pumi Boonyatud. He’s been part of the wrestling industry for 15 years now and put together a big show to celebrate the occasion. He was shown a video of messages from people around the Asian wrestling scene. The Japanese messages were from Hiroshi Tanahashi, Naomichi Marufuji, Sanshiro Takagi, Daisuke Sasaki, Momo Kohgo, Tetsuya Koda, Raku, Pom Harajuku, Emi Sakura and the ChocoPro roster. TJPW were invited to send over someone to challenge Matcha for the SETUP All Asia Women’s Title, a championship that’s been held by TJPW wrestlers in the past. The champion gave a pretty strong hint over who she wanted to face, telling TJPW to send someone “Big” to fight her. Needless to say, Shoko Nakajima became her next challenger and the Big Kaiju beat her to become the new All Asia Women’s Champion! Nakajima was almost beaten by Matcha’s Saito Suplex but she recovered and hit the Diving Senton for the title change.


AEW “ALL IN LONDON”, 30/08/2026
Wembley Stadium, London, England

1. AEW International Title – 3 Way Match: Kazuchika Okada defeated Kyle Fletcher (c) and Konosuke Takeshita when Okada pinned Fletcher with the Rainmaker (13:13).
*Kyle Fletcher fails in V4. Kazuchika Okada becomes the 15th AEW International Champion!

Takeshita is now taking his turn as the third wheel in this feud with The Don Callis Family. The 3 Way Match told the story of Fletcher and Kazuchika Okada purposely getting in each other’s way to and become the crown jewel of the Family. Takeshita tried his best to take advantage while fighting clean (he refused to attack his opponents with a screwdriver when he had the chance) and did a sweet looking double cover from a German Suplex for a nearfall. However Fletcher dropped Takeshita with the Vertical Drop Brainbuster onto the turnbuckle only for Okada to take down Fletcher with the Rainmaker. Okada took a split second to consider pinning Takeshita before choosing to lay on top of Fletcher for the three count. That way he can say he pinned the champion to win back this title.


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

1. Yuki Kamifuku & Alexis Lee defeated Zara Zakher & Dark Sheik when Kamifuku pinned Sheik with the Diving Famouser (?:??).

The month ended with Yuki Kamifuku and friends travelling over to California where Kitsune put her front and centre in the marketing for their show. Alexis Lee went along to team with her (and Mei Suruga was there too) for a match against Zara Zakher & Dark Sheik. Lee helped make sure that the spotlight would remain shining on Kamiyu in the end. Kamifuku gave Sheik a big Superplex and Lee cut off Zakher with a Spear. Kamifuku later Dropkicked Sheik towards the corner where Lee gave her the Sister Abigail that left Sheik stunned. Kamifuku then scored the win by hitting the Diving Famouser. After the match a bunch of the wrestlers surrounded the ring to congratulate Kamifuku for her career.
