Today was the day that Tokyo Joshi Pro would bid farewell to Haruna Neko but just like with other graduations in the past, some of the wrestlers who didn’t want her to leave decided to do something about it. Hyper Misao, Rika Tatsumi and Pom Harajuku formed a protest group to prevent Neko from graduating before the main event but Mahiro Kiryu forced everyone to go through with the match. Kiryu then used her apology spot in the match to say sorry for preventing them from stopping the graduation. Neko later got involved in the match, first when Tatsumi choked her over the ropes and then when Harajuku invited her into a strike exchange she was having with Kiryu. Misao then paused the match so she could give Neko one last message. She understands the situation Neko is in because she also suffered from knee injuries including one that required surgery. She also revealed that she wanted Neko to play the lead role in one of her “HYPE!” shows but Neko got injured before it could be set up. She asked Neko if they could wrestle each other one last time and Neko agreed. She then attacked Misao and her team with one of the protest signs, leaving Suzume & Kiryu to finish things off with Tatsumi & Harajuku.

After the match Kiryu spoke about how glad she is her team won and in honor of Neko she will protect the Iron Man Heavymetalweight Title forever! Neko then scratched Kiryu over the face and tried to pin her but Kiryu kicked out. Harajuku kicked Kiryu in the shin so Neko could scratch and pin her again, this time with everyone else piling on top so Kiryu couldn’t kick out. Neko had now become the Iron Man Champion! However since Neko is about to graduate and she doesn’t want to worry about carrying around such a dangerous title, she told Daisuke Kiso she was surrendering the championship back to Kiryu. Kiso confirmed the decision so Kiryu is now the champ again.

The graduation ceremony then took place. Neko told the audience she was never particularly good at sports and doesn’t like to speak in front of so many people like this. But she made it this far thanks to the support and kindness of her fans. She also thanked everyone from the TJPW wrestlers to the staff for making her feel at ease for the past seven years. The ceremony ended with the 10 bell salute followed by her final ring introduction, which I think was actually the first time Rise Shirai ever got to announce her. As for what will happen next for Haruna, she said she is going to work for somebody she knows.

Match #5 was still promoted as the “main event” even though it was moved to the penultimate match spot of the card beneath Haruna’s final appearance. The match had both Miu Watanabe and Arisu Endo teaming up as champions as well as Watanabe’s first challenger Yuki Aino being on the other team. Watanabe said she could really feel Aino’s passion so she isn’t going to let her guard down. Autumn has arrived and she is expecting it to be a hot one! Aino is counting down the days to the Princess Of Princess Title match but she is taking her time since there will be several warm up matches between now and 18th October.

Wakana Uehara’s new Ripcord Spinning Facebuster like move now has a name. It is called the Sushi Tornado.

Misao hasn’t taken to losing the Princess Tag Team Titles very well and wasn’t in the mood to wrestle today. Shino Suzuki tried cheering her up by suggesting they compete against each other over something they both like. So they came up with rules based on a comedian they both liked named Gorgeous. He is a pirate who makes geography related jokes. The rule is when a wrestler gets a two count or rope break, they are given the name of a country and have ten seconds to find it on a globe. Suzuki couldn’t find Sweden or Paraguay and Misao couldn’t find Mexico. There was then a moment when Suzuki got a two count with a Backward Rolling Cradle but Misao then pinned her back with a Gedo Clutch. It was decided they could both get a chance at finding Madagascar. Suzuki couldn’t find it so the globe was handed over to Misao. She fumbled the globe but when she picked it back up, she found Madagascar and pointed at it to Kiso to win the match!

It was revealed at “WRESTLE PRINCESS VI” that Yuki Kamifuku had been working with TJPW for years as a freelancer and she was now thinking of signing with the company on a full time basis. Today she confirmed a deal has been made and she is now officialy under contract with the promotion. She described her time with TJPW up to now as if it was like a couple that had lived together for years and met each other’s families but never went all the way with getting married. So think of this as Kamifuku finally popping the question and now becoming married to TJPW! Later backstage Sanshiro Takagi told reporters the story that Kamifuku originally came to TJPW from a talent agency whose manager he knew. Kamifuku was at a point where she was either going to become a pro wrestler or go work at a real estate agency. He is happy Kamifuku chose wrestling because she has become a valuable asset for TJPW. Tetsuya Koda also explained how Kamifuku was a TJPW regular in name only and that it was news to many fans that she was actually a freelancer all along. It was an ambiguous situation but one where nothing in particular is going to change for her going forward. Kamifuku said she thinks of Takagi like her wrestling father and Koda like her wrestling boss. Koda had to correct her because he really is her boss now.

Then he sort of disappeared again but now he’s back to wrestle on a Super Japan show. Wrestling hasn’t been his priority in years because he has a career managing many, many gyms across Tokyo and Osaka (he currently has 24 gyms according to his Instagram account) so he is now going to use the name Gym Leader Kotoka, at least for this match. Kotoka will be part of a “Dragon Gene” tag team with Mac Matsushita to take on the super indie tag team of monk wrestler Fuminori Abe and Filipino wrestler Bryan Ishizaka.

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “ADDITIONAL ATTACK ’25”, 18/10/2025

It’s all new champions across Tokyo Joshi Pro and two of them have defences lined up for the October Korakuen Hall show. Miu Watanabe is putting the newly won Princess Of Princess Title on the line against Yuki Aino in order to see how much passion Aino can bring to the match.

Yuna Manase & Toga were already the next challengers for the Princess Tag Team Titles and now they will face Ober Eats instead of Kyoraku Kyomei. The dynamic to watch out for here is how Yuki Kamifuku and Yuna Manase will fight each other. They used to team together as Cat’s Pye and one of Kamifuku’s failed attempts to win the tag titles came from that team.

Both shows will have around 4 or 5 matches each.

9. Princess Of Princess Title: Miu Watanabe defeated Mizuki (c) with the Spinning Tear Drop (22:58).
*Mizuki fails in V4. Miu Watanabe becomes the 16th Princess Of Princess Champion!

It took nine months but Miu Watanabe has regained her spot in Tokyo Joshi Pro as the Princess Of Princess Champion! She was warned by Mizuki not to mess with her and the champ tried to break down Watanabe with big moves like the Cutie Special, the Diving Foot Stomp and the Face Lock. Watanabe’s power became an effective counter through the use of Power Slams and the Giant Swing. She also carried Mizuki up to the top rope so she could Avalanche Power Slam her right back down to the canvas. Mizuki got a nearfall with the Whirling Candy and tried going for the Cutie Special. But Watanabe countered it into a High Angle Tear Drop and then out-grappled her into do a spinning version of the Tear Drop for the victory.

After the match Watanabe said this was her second title match with Mizuki this year and it feels like she’s had her all to herself. There is no other princess like Mizuki because she is kind and considerate so Watanabe is happy to win the belt that Mizuki made shine so brightly. Now as the summer is about to end, Watanabe will make sure the Princess Title will shine even brighter! After she said that, Yuki Aino entered the ring and said the match that just happened was too amazing. She used to consider herself as Watanabe’s rival because they both debuted in the same year but before she knew it Watanabe has gone way ahead of her. Aino wants to have a passionate title match with the new champion to prove her worth. Watanabe said they haven’t fought each other much lately so she would like to see Aino being passionate in the ring up close in person. She accepted the challenge and the match will take place at Korakuen Hall on 18th October. Watanabe can become the Summer princess and Autumn princess all she wants because all Aino is aiming for is to become champion! When Aino left the ring, Watanabe told the fans she will make TJPW become the biggest dreamland in the world!

The Princess Tag Team Titles were on the line in a rematch from Las Vegas but Hyper Misao predicted the outcome would be the same. She then asked Wakana Uehara if she is ok to wrestle after losing a few teeth recently. Uehara defiantly told her she can fight and proved it by pulling out a hamburger and taking a bite out of it! She even decided to bite Shoko Nakajima in the arm later in the match! Kyoraku Kyomei had to go back to their other usual tricks like Misao spraying the other team or crashing her Hypami Mobile into Mahiro Kiryu at ringside. However Yuki Kamifuku proved to be the difference maker. She prevented Nakajima from doing the Locomotion Northern Lights Suplex and instead cut her down with the Diving Famouser to win the match.

Backstage Kamifuku talked about how much she hates competing in important matches like title bouts and tournament finals because they are such hard work. But she didn’t want to let Uehara down and summoned a rebellious spirit to win and look cool towards her partner. She also explained that despite being a regular for TJPW all this time, she’s really been a freelancer wrestling for the company through an entertainment agency. She doesn’t know if she needs to speak to Sanshiro Takagi or Tetsuya Koda about this but now that she’s won a second TJPW championship it is time for her to become a full time member of the company! Uehara said if it wasn’t for Kamifuku, she would have broken down after her injury and wouldn’t be here as a champion right now. Kyoraku Kyomei were hoping to hold the Tag Titles long enough for their annual singles match on 4th January next year. They didn’t underestimate Ober Eats but they admit they fought a version of them they’ve never seen before. Nakajima & Misao lost today so they’ll go become even stronger in ways the other team have never seen before!

Arisu Endo’s smile has grown a little bit wider because she has won the International Princess Title! The vacant belt was up for grabs with Endo having to face Priscilla Kelly instead of her originally opponent Jada Stone. Kelly tried to throw Endo off her game early then switched to being more aggressive as the match went on. Endo wore her down with a Sleeper Hold and a Camel Clutch, keeping her grip on her submission even after Kelly tried to slam her way out of it. Kelly used her own skills with a counter attack that included a Sliding German Suplex and also a Dragon Suplex. But Endo fought her way back with a Thrust Kick that set up the match winning Ju no Okite. Endo joked about how heavy it feels to hold the belt. She is overjoyed that for the first time in her life she won something all by herself. With this belt she hopes to go visit many fun places where she can eat delicious food. Her summer has been scorching hot and she wants it to get even hotter like up to trillions of billions of degrees!

Aino earned her claim for a Princess Title shot by joining the short list of people in TJPW to ever have made Miyu Yamashita submit! Yamashita thought Ryo Mizunami was going to be the big target to break down so she and Kaya Toribami focused their efforts against her. Aino didn’t want to be left out though and made sure to go after Yamashita when Mizunami broke through the other team. Aino dodged Yamashita’s kicks and dropped her backwards with the Venus DDT. Then from there she applied the Full Nelson Of Love And Fire. Mizunami did her best to hold Toribami back and Yamashita had no option but to give up. Backstage Mizunami called Aino amazing for achieving that result with the fire she brought out today. Aino asked her to come back to TJPW again so Yukiniki can team more often. Toribami said she was sure her team would win because she thought she had great chemistry with Yamashita. The two of them also want to keep teaming together so they can get stronger next time.

It was Hiroyo Matsumoto’s first appearance in TJPW and she wasn’t interested in shaking hands with her opponents. Although she did quip out some greetings to Haru Kazashiro & Toga while she was wrestling them. When she wasn’t “making friends” she was aiding Yuki Arai in controlling the match. She grabbed Toga to seperate her from Kazashiro, giving Arai the space to hit her finisher and win. Matsumoto said she couldn’t afford to lose since her team had a master-disciple dynamic. She also wants Arai to tell her all about TJPW, like if Kazashiro & Toga felt scared fighting her? Arai calls Matsumoto the foundation that helped give birth to her wrestling career. She also remembers the two moves Matsumoto taught her for Tofu Pro Wrestling were the Heel Drop and the Back Elbow. She admitted she forgot to do the Back Elbow back then which made Milano Collection A.T. made at Matsumoto. But Arai remembered to do it today! Matsumoto thinks the move should now be named The Back Elbow Dedicated To Milano. As for Kazashiro & Toga, they are feeling completely defeated by fighting and outsider like Matsumoto. But they think it will make them mentally stronger so if she ever returns they will be more ready to stand against her again.

A few small flags were placed in opposite corners for the Flag Scramble Death Match. Rika Tatsumi and Pom Harajuku were tasked with grabbing the other’s flag in order to use a weapon. Tatsumi got one first and after Harjuku chased after her, the weapon was revealed to be a bag of 100 colorful plastic balls. Harajuku scattered the balls everywhere and threw them one by one at her opponent. Tatsumi then grabbed the other flag and the weapon turned out to be a large folding fan. She used it at first but then decided she can win without using any. Harajuku then grabbed a flag and received two mega penlights to use against Tatsumi’s fan. The final flag was captured by Tatsumi which allowed her to use the GM Tetsuya Koda as a weapon! He was relunctantly dragged into the ring and thrown at Harajuku. Tatsumi then jumped off the top rope with the folding fan but hit Koda over the head with it by mistake. Tatsumi grabbed the penlight and charged Harajuku only to get rolled up and pinned for the three count. Harajuku wondered what would happen today but since it was a death match with toys in it she knew she would win because she’s a three year old and toys are for babies! She then pointed out the weapons Tatsumi chose were not toys at all so she was actually lucky to win. Tatsumi couldn’t believe she lost to Harajuku and called it the biggest stain on her life. She blames Koda for this!

HIMAWARI decided to rely on her best weapon to try and beat Aja Kong. That weapon is her long hair braids which she explained she is allowed to use because they are part of her body. But when she charged in to whip them around, Kong held her at a distance by her head and then knocked her down with a slap. Kong then tortured HIMAWARI by pulling at her hair, claiming that she isn’t breaking any rules because she is simply grabbing a part of HIMAWARI’s body. Kong continued to use that loophole by claiming her steel can is a part of her body so she can hit HIMAWARI with it as much as she wants! HIMAWARI tried her best to block the attack but eventually took a blow to the head from it. When Kong went for the Back Drop, HIMAWARI fought her off by using Hair Whips but made the mistake of trying to lift her up for the Princess Drop. Instead Kong gave her a Lariat for a nearfall and then the Back Drop to get the win. She gave HIMAWARI some words of encouragement after the match. Backstage she described how dangerous HIMAWARI’s hair is by comparing it to Acrobatic Silky from Dandadan. She warns the next time they fight she will have to cut it off her head! Meanwhile HIMAWARI is threatening to smash the steel can to bits with her hair!

We have entered into a new era of the Iron Man Heavymetalweight Title. Behold the era of Mahironman! Pokotan entered the Battle Royal first as the defending champion but already suffered a bad omen when the mascot’s head fell off. Then during the match Chika Nanase knocked the head off again causing the faceless mascot to briefly transform into Keiju Muto and pin her with the Shining Wizard. Raku entered the match armed with a pillow and formed a very brief alliance with Pokotan before betraying him. Ram Kaichow then entered the match thinking Pokotan was actually Raku inside the costume. So when the real Raku saw them hugging and dancing together, she attacked both of them with the pillow and pinned Pokotan. However since the pillow was directly on top of Pokotan during the pin, Daisuke Kiso declared Raku’s Pillow was now the champion! The Pillow also eliminated Shino Suzuki when Kira Summer gave her the Samoan Drop with the pillow in between them. Raku eliminated Summer and then patched things up with Kaichow to knock Mifu Ashida out of the ring while Mahiro Kiryu was confused by all of the pillow spots. Kiryu ended up getting Raku to accidentally eliminated Kaichow and then gave her the Spinebuster on top of the pillow for the three count. Kiso ended the match there because he counted the pin on both Raku and the pillow, making Kiryu the new champion! Kiryu would like to welcome all challengers to come fight her for the title but she is feeling tired at the moment and requests to get some rest first. Then when she’s ready people can come challenge her in moderation.

The opening match was filled with kindred spirits in multiple pairings. Suzume was teaming with Ren Konatsu who she inspired to become a pro wrestler. Mei Suruga came over from ChocoPro to team up with Uta Takami and the two of them are as close as sisters given how similar they behave. Plus Suzume and Suruga being in the ring again gave fans a Meibee Surprise reunion. But those two ended up cancelling each other out, leaving Konatsu to duke it out against Konatsu. Suzume made it back in to cut off the Koala Clutch only for Suruga to take her out with a Diving Cross Body. Takami went back to Konatsu with a short range Dropkick before applying the Koala Clutch again, getting the submission win. Takami said her wish came true because she wanted to win with Suruga in Ota Ward. Suruga wished it would have happened under better circumstances since both her and Suzume were recently champions at the same time but they both no longer have any. But she sees how Suzume is looking forward so she will do the same and hopefully some day it will lead them to having a singles match against each other.

Three new trainees were introduced to the fans at the start of the show. They are currently named Shion, Anri and Yuka. All three are currently training with the goal of eventually making their pro debuts.

The first ever TJPW event in Thailand will take place on 13th December! “TJPW LIVE IN BANGKOK” is being held in The Circus Studio with help from SETUP Thailand. Around 10 TJPW wrestlers will be on the show along with wrestlers from the Southeast Asian scene. Pumi Boonyatud the owner of SETUP was in attendance to announce the news.

The next big arena show for TJPW will be happening on 29th March, 2026. It will be “GRAND PRINCESS ’26” and the venue for it is Sumo Hall! By the time it takes place it will be just under two years since TJPW’s previous show in the building.

New merchandise was revealed for TJPW’s collaboration with Katamari Damacy. As part of the campaign, Mizuki and Suzume will attend next weekend’s Tokyo Games Show for an autograph session.

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “WRESTLE PRINCESS VI” Preview

September 19, 2025

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “WRESTLE PRINCESS VI”, 20/09/2025
Tokyo Ota Ward Gymnasium

1. Suzume & Ren Konatsu Vs Mei Suruga & Uta Takami
2. Iron Man Heavymetalweight Title – Staggered Entry Battle Royal: Pokotan (c) Vs Raku Vs Mahiro Kiryu Vs Shino Suzuki Vs Mifu Ashida Vs Kira Summer Vs Chika Nanase Vs Ram Kaichow
3. Aja Kong Vs HIMAWARI
4. Flag Scramble Weapon Death Match: Rika Tatsumi Vs Pom Harajuku
5. Hiroyo Matsumoto & Yuki Arai Vs Haru Kazashiro & Toga
6. Miyu Yamashita & Kaya Toribami Vs Ryo Mizunami & Yuki Aino
7. International Princess Title Match: Arisu Endo Vs Priscilla Kelly
8. Princess Tag Team Titles: Shoko Nakajima & Hyper Misao (c) Vs Yuki Kamifuku & Wakana Uehara
9. Princess Of Princess Title: Mizuki (c) Vs Miu Watanabe

Act III begins. Tokyo Joshi Pro’s year long trilogy of major shows held at Ota Ward Gymnasium ends with the sixth annual “WRESTLE PRINCESS” show. And to be honest it’s really just the main event that’s doing a the heavy lifting here. That might end up becoming the payoff of a nine month lone storyline while so much of the rest of the card doesn’t have much to talk about when it comes to the last few months of shows. What it lacks in build it instead makes up for with wrestler relationships past and present. Most of the guests have some sort of association with the wrestlers they will be in the ring with. An injury on short notice also caused a couple of changes the card including one of the championship matches.


1. Suzume & Ren Konatsu Vs Mei Suruga & Uta Takami

The show kicks off with a tag match filled with kindred spirits. Suzume was the inspiration for Ren Konatsu to become a wrestler and it didn’t take long after her debut for the two of them to team up. Meanwhile the two sisters from other misters have found each other again. Mei Suruga & Uta Takami are back together to show that apples and ice cream are for everybody. These four have enough energy by themselves to keep the venue’s power in check for the rest of the show.


2. Iron Man Heavymetalweight Title – Staggered Entry Battle Royal: Pokotan (c) Vs Raku Vs Mahiro Kiryu Vs Shino Suzuki Vs Mifu Ashida Vs Kira Summer Vs Chika Nanase Vs Ram Kaichow

I might be wrong but ever since the Iron Man Heavymetalweight Title got its new belt it feels like the championship has spent more time out of DDT than in it. It’s been hovering near TJPW for over a month now and they seem to like holding the Battle Royal on their undercard. The DDT mascot Pokotan is currently the champion and must fight off seven opponents to survive another day. Not a lot has changed with the usual crew of opponents getting involved. Mahiro Kiryu is still apologetic, Shino Suzuki has her Up Up Girls duties, Mifu Ashida really likes using the Y-Shaped Guillotine in her matches, Kira Summer got to wrestle in Malaysia recently and Chika Nanase is adapting to more of a gal style for her appearance. The wild card is Ram Kaichow. Just like last time she is a late entry to the match and TJPW is anticipating she will pull off a plan to win the championship before the match even starts again. I assume Raku will be glad to help her with that once more.


3. Aja Kong Vs HIMAWARI

I have worked out one realistic way for HIMAWARI to win this match. She will have a chance if she can travel back in time to 1987 so she can claim seniority over a rookie Aja Kong and therefore win via the senpai-kohai pattern of Japanese wrestling booking. Otherwise she’s boned. Those hair whips are not going to do a thing against Kong’s steel can. Even when Kong is having a good day she will still whack someone over the head with one of those things.


4. Flag Scramble Weapon Death Match: Rika Tatsumi Vs Pom Harajuku

Okay this was not in the plans at all. Rika Tatsumi’s original match got pulled because her opponent was bumped up to one of the title matches so instead of fighting the woman who licked her face that one time seven years ago, she now has to babysit Pom Harajuku. It’s bad enough trying to chase Harajuku around but she also usually finds ways to try and trap Tatsumi out of venues so she can almost win by countout. That might not happen here because special rules are being applied to make up for the match change.

Both wrestlers will start the match with a flag in their corner of the ring. If you steal your opponent’s flag you will be allowed to choose one of two pre-determined weapons to use for the rest of the match. What these weapons will be we just have to wait and see. It’s just two weapons though so it will only take both flags being captured for both weapons to come into play. Will Tatsumi bring her sasumata pole back? Can Harajuku wheel in a gacha machine again like she did in Texas? Is Yukinori Matsui going to be the ref so he has to deal with this silliness with that tired look on his face?


5. Hiroyo Matsumoto & Yuki Arai Vs Haru Kazashiro & Toga

Welcome “Lady Destroyer” to TJPW! Hiroyo Matsumoto goes way back with Yuki Arai by being one of her coaches for Tofu Pro Wrestling from 2018. It gives Arai something to bounce back from after losing in the main event of her previous Ota Ward appearance. The young team of Haru Kazashiro & Toga have been chosen to be their opponents. Toga is excited to fight Matsumoto head on and is even confident she can knock her down with her Elbow Strike. Although her new friend Yuna Manase warned Toga she better go all out to stand a chance against Matsumoto.


6. Miyu Yamashita & Kaya Toribami Vs Ryo Mizunami & Yuki Aino

It’s a Yukiniki reunion! None of Ryo Mizunami’s previous visits to TJPW this year had anything to do with Yuki Aino so it’s nice to finally see them back together after being apart for this long. The highlight of Aino’s year so far was becoming the main character of the third annual “HYPE!” show (and its director’s cut) which again begs the question, has she finally figured out how to take the next step up the card yet? Maybe it’s for the best that Yukiniki stick together because Aino’s best work is as a tag wrestler.

Their opponents aren’t much of a solid team yet but maybe there’s something to be found with this pairing. Miyu Yamashita might be heading into a new stage of her career as TJPW’s first “Leader” of the locker room. She’s out of the title picture and no longer has Maki Itoh to work off of in the company. However she sees potential in Kaya Toribami and wants to see for herself what the masked woman can unleash in the ring. Toribami is getting more confident which is also opening up more opportunities for her. Like getting slapped in the chest by Mizunami a lot. Gotta fly through that fire eventually, bird.


7. International Princess Title Match: Arisu Endo Vs Priscilla Kelly

Can we get Poison Sawada JULIE to take a look at the International Princess Title belt because this championship is back to being cursed again. In a sad turn of events, Moka Miyamoto’s title reign couldn’t even get out of the starting blocks because as soon as she won it at “SUMMER SUN PRINCESS ’25” she then fell ill and had to take time off for treatment. When it became clear that whatever it is she’s been dealing with was keeping her out of action for the long term, the title was vacated. A new champion will have to be crowned at Ota Ward.

I though TJPW’s two choices for the title match was a good piece of booking. On one side was Arisu Endo who is in the middle of a breakout run that included reaching the final of this year’s Tokyo Princess Cup. She is also the tag team partner of the previous champion Suzume. Endo’s opponent would be Jada Stone, the American who fought Suzume in a neat two match series over the title during the year but couldn’t win the belt in either match. That’s an intriguing pairing to me. Then earlier this week Stone posted the bad news that she suffered a knee injury and had to cancel her next tour of Japan to go get an MRI scan.

So plans for the IP Title had to change again. Endo is still in the match and now her opponent is going to be Priscilla Kelly. It’s been over seven years since Kelly had her couple of tours with TJPW. Endo wasn’t around for that so I hope those who were have given her fair warning of what to expect. WWE didn’t change her that much when she was Gigi Dolin over there. Kelly is also starting to build up her own little collection of championships on the American indies. She hasn’t been shy about taking pictures of herself about to lick the belts in victory. Will this be the next fate for the IP Title?


8. Princess Tag Team Titles: Shoko Nakajima & Hyper Misao (c) Vs Yuki Kamifuku & Wakana Uehara

Terry Funk ain’t wear no mouthpiece and neither does Wakana Uehara.

The last time Kyoraku Kyomei defended the Princess Tag Team Titles against Ober Eats was in Las Vegas back in April. At the time Yuki Kamifuku & Wakana Uehara had only just begun teaming and couldn’t match the many years of chemistry that only a kaiju and a superhero could produce together. Shoko Nakajima in particular is having a heck of a year. Not only is she keeping up to her usual level on TJPW shows, she also went and took over MLW’s women’s division in America. To help build up to this match, Nakajima even defended the MLW Women’s World Featherweight Title against Kamifuku in Texas just last week. Her message going into this match is loud and clear. You won’t win if you can’t bite like a kaiju!

An injury robbed us of a clever match buildup because while Nakajima and Kamifuku were fighting over a championship in America, TJPW was going to have Hyper Misao face Wakana Uehara on the same day back in Japan. The booking made sense given that Ober Eats earned their rematch thanks to Uehara pinning Misao in an 8-Woman Tag involving the two teams. It felt like a kick in the teeth when the singles match had to be pulled because that’s exactly what happened. Misao accidentally knocked out one of Uehara’s front teeth with a Kingslayer Jumping Knee Strike during a match. Uehara hadn’t wrestled since and has been using the time off to charge herself up for the title bout in between her visits to the dentist.

This is where TJPW is different from a lot of other pro wrestling companies. Normally an injury like this is ripe to build up heat and maybe even lead to a revenge angle at the end of the match as a payoff. But TJPW is not that kind of wrestling promotion. As Misao explained with a tweet after the match, inflicting injuries is not a badge of honour here. This also isn’t the place to where wrestlers are motivated to take an eye for an eye (or a tooth for a tooth). With that being said I bet it will feel pretty sweet for Uehara if she can pin Misao with a Jackknife Pin for the three count again, this time to win the tag titles. It’s a pair of belts that have evaded Kamifuku for as long as both have existed in wrestling.


9. Princess Of Princess Title: Mizuki (c) Vs Miu Watanabe

Something that TJPW’s 2025 should be remembered for is the story arc of Mizuki Vs Miu Watanabe. It’s been a tale of princesses and monsters often with the roles being merged together. When the year began, Watanabe was the Princess Of Princess Champion who became so dominant that she was accused of becoming the kind of monster she had to beat to win the prize in the first place. Then on 4th January Mizuki entered the story as the hero slaying the “Monster” to win the title as the true “Princess” she is. As the months progressed, Mizuki held onto the belt with two title defences in Ota Ward along with a successful defence in Las Vegas inbetween. She can make it a hat trick of Ota Ward title defences that can turn this reign into the most defining singles run of her career.

While all of that was going on for the rabbit, the monster had to lick her wounds and go find the princess she knew was inside of her. That journey of discovery took place over the summer where Watanabe won the Tokyo Princess Cup, a tournament that slipped through her fingers three years earlier. With that hole in her heart finally patched up, Watanabe found her glow up and is now ready to have the title rematch with Mizuki. Some hints have been dropped along the way from Mizuki noticing her opponent becoming more Cinderella-like to Watanabe literally tripping out of her shoe and leaving it behind while she was exiting an interview. Just like how some bedtime stories go, it will take a magical Tear Drop to turn the monster into a princess so she can live happily ever after. Hang on, isn’t Mizuki supposed to be the princess in this story? She’s not going to give up that cushy gig without a fight!

9. Princess Of Princess Title: Mizuki (c) Vs Miu Watanabe

A knee injury has prevented Jada Stone from travelling to Japan so she is no longer able to appear at “WRESTLE PRINCESS VI”. A new opponent is needed for Arisu Endo so she will now face Priscilla Kelly in the match with the vacant International Princess Title on the line. Pom Harajuku has been taken out of the Battle Royal to become Rika Tatsumi’s new opponent. That match will also have special rules applied which will be announced as soon as they are determined.

I don’t know if I can get a preview of the show completed before Saturday. I’ve been feeling under the weather lately which stopped me from writing one. One might be posted on Friday night but don’t take that as a promise.

DDT “CHARISMANIAxMANIAxMANIA”, 02/10/2025
Tokyo Korakuen Hall

1. Special 6-Man Tag Match: Minoru Fujita, Hiroshi Yamato & MJ Paul Vs Yuko Miyamoto, Masashi Takeda & Choun-Shiryu

5. Daisuke Sasaki 20th Anniversary Match: Daisuke Sasaki & El Desperado Vs Shuji Ishikawa & Antonio Honda

The full card for “CHARISMANIAxMANIAxMANIA” has been revealed although the match order outside of the main event has not been decided yet. Naohiro Katsumi and To-y both get added to the Togo Family Vs DDT Match, a Gauntlet Tag match dedicated to the still alive Daisuke Sasaki will fill up most of the show. Yasutaka Oosera from Michinoku Pro is teaming up with Ilusion which makes me wonder what the connection is there. We also have the return of Sumicaras in there too.

BASARA “BASARA 289 ~UTAGE AKA – HIEN~”, 02/10/2025
Shin-Kiba 1st RING

Shinjuku FACE

0. Exhibition Match: Sanshiro Takagi Vs Munenori Sawa
1. Special Tag Match: Suwama & Yuki Kamifuku Vs Kuroshio TOKYO Japan & Momoka Hanazono
2. Special Single Match: Yuji Nagata Vs Shinya Aoki

So what unusual match making is Super Japan coming up with this time? How about pairing Suwama and Yuki Kamifuku together because they are both from Fujiwara City? Cool, now what if they go against Kuroshio TOKYO Japan & Momoka Hanazono the two wrestlers who get up to nutty things whenever they are left to their own devices? Kamifuku and Kuroshio have wrestled each other before (and Kamifuku has a win over Kuroshio) but Suwama and Hanazono taking each other on sounds like something new.

Wrestle Princess VI Press Conference

September 11, 2025

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “WRESTLE PRINCESS VI”, 20/09/2025
Tokyo Ota Ward Gymnasium

1. Suzume & Ren Konatsu Vs Mei Suruga & Uta Takami
2. Iron Man Heavymetalweight Title – Staggered Entry Battle Royal: Pokotan (c) Vs Raku Vs Pom Harajuku V Mahiro Kiryu Vs Shino Suzuki Vs Mifu Ashida Vs Kira Summer Vs Chika Nanase
3. Aja Kong Vs HIMAWARI
4. Rika Tatsumi Vs Priscilla Kelly
5. Hiroyo Matsumoto & Yuki Arai Vs Haru Kazashiro & Toga
6. Miyu Yamashita & Kaya Toribami Vs Ryo Mizunami & Yuki Aino
7. International Princess Title Match: Arisu Endo Vs Jada Stone
8. Princess Tag Team Titles: Shoko Nakajima & Hyper Misao (c) Vs Yuki Kamifuku & Wakana Uehara
9. Princess Of Princess Title: Mizuki (c) Vs Miu Watanabe

Earlier today a press conference was held at Abema Towers in Shibuya to promote the three title matches happening at “WRESTLE PRINCESS VI”. For the Princess Of Princess Title match Miu Watanabe told her story of being the champion until 4th January this year when Mizuki beat her for it. Now eight months later she gets the chance to take the title back from her. During those eight months she’s been waiting to take the lead of Tokyo Joshi Pro again and tell everyone she is a princess. She respects Mizuki as a princess because you won’t find anyone as kind, strong, beautiful and gentle as her. She is a pro princess! But princesses are always looking for their true love and true love for “Miu Cinderella” is the Princess Title!

Mizuki admits to being incredible scared of having to fight Watanabe again but she is also excited by it. It will also be Mizuki’s third title defence in Ota Ward Gymnasium. She credits her previous challengers Miyu Yamashita, Rika Tatsumi and Yuki Arai for putting her in this position because she couldn’t have accomplished this alone. She is curious to see where the story of Miu Cinderella will go but she wants to continue telling her own story as the pro princess too. Watanabe then joked that Mizuki is always talking to birds behind the scenes because princesses are friends to animals.

Ober Eats have their motivations for becoming the Princess Tag Team Champions. Even though Wakana Uehara lost some teeth from wrestling Hyper Misao last weekend, she is using the recovery time to recharge so her mental strength will be incredibly strong for the title match. She promised to make up for it by taking the belts from Kyoraku Kyomei! Her partner Yuki Kamifuku said the tag titles were created shortly after she debuted but she was never able to win them. She thinks her vibe is different from Uehara’s but she wants to work hard for her so both of them can become champions after failing to win them so many times with other partners.

The champions can tell their opponents have changed since the first title match in Las Vegas. Shoko Nakajima wants them to grow even more before the rematch. She thinks it is fate that she and Kamifuku will be fighting each other in Texas this weekend with the MLW Women’s World Featherweight Title on the line. The height difference between the two is the largest in TJPW and Nakajima thinks there is always something new for them to discover when they wrestle each other. When Kyoraku Kyomei defend the belts again, she is going to ask Kamifuku to become her personal English teacher for a year and also get Uehara to teach her how to eat a lot. Misao is focused on breaking the record for most Princess Tag Title defences currently held by The Magical Sugar Rabbits. There are more challengers appearing over the horizon and she can sense the momentum Ober Eats are on. If there is one thing Misao has learned in her ten years of being a wrestler, it is the thick-skinned ones always win. Nakajima then told Uehara that if she can’t bite a kaiju then she can’t win this match!

The contract for the International Princess Title match has not been fully signed until Jada Stone arrives in Japan. She will sign the contract when she does arrive there. Her opponent Arisu Endo attended the press conference and talked about having the best summer ever because of her performance in the Tokyo Princess Cup. However she was still disappointed because she was the runner up despite working so hard by herself. She is now determined to grab this chance to become the new IP Champion. She praised Stone for her incredible athleticism and power. Endo wants to use her own style without losing any rhythm to beat her. She also feels lucky because it will be her second chance at winning this championship in Ota Ward this year.

The current Right To Challenge Arm Cover holders are Yuki Ishida (Green), Hideki Okatani (Blue) and Yuki Iino (Red). So far Hirata has been finding different ways to avoid having to defend his KO-D Openweight Title against wrestlers cashing in their title shots.

Her one night only return puts her in a match with three wrestlers who all mean a lot to her for one reason or another: Shoko Nakajima, Miyu Yamashita and Yuki Kamifuku.

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “TJPW AUTUMN VICTORY IN KITAZAWA” Results

September 7, 2025

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “TJPW AUTUMN VICTORY IN KITAZAWA”, 07/09/2025
Tokyo Kitazawa Town Hall
222 Fans – No Vacancy

1. HIMAWARI defeated Ren Konatsu with the Half Crab Hold (7:50).
2. Yuki Aino, Raku & Pom Harajuku defeated Mahiro Kiryu, Kaya Toribami & Mifu Ashida when Raku pinned Ashida with the Doctor Yellow (8:58).
3. Yuki Arai defeated Chika Nanase with the Scorpion Death Lock (6:48).
4. Rika Tatsumi defeated Uta Takami with the Dragon Sleeper (10:11).
5. Suzume & Arisu Endo defeated Haru Kazashiro & Shino Suzuki when Endo pinned Suzuki with the Ju no Okite (9:44).
6. Yuna Manase & Toga defeated Miyu Yamashita & Kira Summer when Toga pinned Summer with the Rock Bottom (10:09).
7. Mizuki, Shoko Nakajima & Hyper Misao defeated Miu Watanabe, Yuki Kamifuku & Wakana Uehara when Misao submitted Uehara with the Chickenwing Face Lock (17:11).

The second show on today’s Kitazawa doubleheader was the more usual Tokyo Joshi Pro affair. With “WRESTLE PRINCESS VI” just under two weeks away it was time for a champions versus challengers 6-Woman Tag Match to headline the show. Mizuki teamed up with Kyoraku Kyomei while Miu Watanabe joined forces with Ober Eats. Before the match began Hyper Misao felt so confident about the champions’ chances of winning that she called her shot and predicted she would take the winning fall from Wakana Uehara. She suffered a setback when Yuki Kamifuku took the spray can from her and sprayed her in the face with it. Things between Mizuki and Watanabe were also more competitive terms with some moments of good sportsmanship coming off like it was an act of passive aggression. The match came down to the two tag teams with Misao clasping the Chickenwing Face Lock onto Uehara. Shoko Nakajima cut off Kamifuku’s rescue by hitting her with the Diving Senton, giving Uehara no option but to give up.

After the match the champion team all talked about defending their titles on 20th September. Misao said she is now even with Uehara after losing to her a few weeks ago and today’s result proves that Uehara’s win was just a fluke. She’ll prove it again at their singles match in Aizuwakamatsu next weekend that Kyoraku Kyomei’s odds of beating Ober Eats are at 99.99999999999％! Nakajima then told Kamifuku that they will be fighting each other in Texas next weekend for the MLW Women’s World Featherweight Title. She admits she’s been having fun wrestling against her lately. Mizuki then acknowledged that Watanabe has become more of a Cinderella recently so when the Princess Of Princess Title is on the line, Mizuki wants to win when Watanabe is in her most sparkling form.

The new team of Yuna Manase & Toga has gotten off to a good start. They’re already some teamwork down and had each other’s backs when Miyu Yamashita & Kira Summer launched a counter attack. Manase put all her trust in Toga when she lifted Summer into a Samoan Drop position and then told Toga to hit her with an Elbow Strike to add more oomph to the move. When Manase used another Samoan Drop to get rid of Yamashita, Toga went and pinned Summer with the Rock Bottom. After the match Toga suggested to Manase backstage that they can go challenge for the Princess Tag Team Titles, then decided they should do it. Manase liked the idea because she always wanted to win that title. She then shouted over to Tetsuya Koda at the other side of the room that they want a title shot. She and Toga will also come up with a team name.

The next “TJPW INPIRATION” show will be held on 19th November and will feature the one night only return of Yuu to Tokyo Joshi Pro! TJPW was her original home promotion when she debuted in 2016 up until she left in 2018. She is planning to retire from pro wrestling on 28th December so part of it includes her “coming home” for the first time in seven years. For her TJPW return she is going to team with Kamifuku to take on Nakajima & Yamashita!

The Up Up Girls (Pro Wrestling) performed their newest song “Love Motto” at the start of the show.

6. Special 3 Way Match: Danshoku Dieno Vs Kazuki Hirata Vs Antonio Honda

The card has been changed around a bit because Akito has aggravated an old injury of his and will not be at the show tomorrow. Tomomitsu Matsunaga will come in to take his place.

A big task awaits for Takeshi Masada. It’s bad enough he pissed off Minoru Suzuki when he challenged him for the DDT Universal Title but before that match happens he also has to deal with Shinya Aoki in the meantime.

Yuki Iino will be hold an emergency press conference at the show tomorrow. I don’t expect the news to be drastic like him leaving the company anytime soon just because he’s already in the middle of a storyline and holds a few prizes that DDT would need take off of him if he was to leave for somewhere else. Maybe he just wants to announce when he is cashing in his title shot.

DDT “FIGHTING BEER GARDEN 2025 IN SHINJUKU ~EXTRA TIME~”, 12/09/2025
Shinjuku FACE

1. Akito, Soma Takao & Rukiya Vs Daichi Sato, Yuki Ishida & Hinata Kasai
2. Hideki Okatani, Ilusion & MJ Paul Vs To-y, Yuya Koroku & Kazuma Sumi
3. Special Single Match: Shinya Aoki Vs Takeshi Masada
4. Our LariPro ’25: HARASHIMA, Keisuke Ishii & MAO Vs Yuki Ueno, Toru Owashi & Tomomitsu Matsunaga
5. Enter Sandman Match: Kazuki Hirata Vs Danshoku Dieno Vs Chris Brookes Vs KANON (w/ KIMIHIRO) Vs Antonio Honda
6. Yukio Naya 8th Anniversary ~ Special Tag Match: Yukio Naya & Kazusada Higuchi Vs Yuki Iino & Jun Akiyama

The addition of KANON to the Enter Sandman Match also means KIMIHIRO will be getting involved too. If there was ever a time for someone to try rapping over Metallica, this would be it.

Another match where Masada has to fight Aoki. That better sharpen him up for Suzuki pretty good.

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “I WANT TO SAVE EVERYONE WITH A SMILE ~ ARISU’S AIZUWAKAMATSU GRAND MARCH”, 13/09/2025
Fukushima Aizuwakamatsu City Tsurugajo Gymnasium

1. Raku & Pom Harajuku (w/ Akabe) Vs HIMAWARI & Ren Konatsu (w/ Kappa Green)
2. Kaya Toribami Vs Uta Takami
3. Hyper Misao Vs Wakana Uehara
4. Miu Watanabe & Toga Vs Mahiro Kiryu & Chika Nanase
5. Mizuki Vs Mifu Ashida
6. Aja Kong, Suzume & Shino Suzuki Vs Rika Tatsumi, Yuki Aino & Kira Summer
7. Arisu Endo & Yuki Arai Vs Miyu Yamashita & Haru Kazashiro

On the same day this show happens, Shoko Nakajima and Yuki Kamifuku will be wrestling each other for the MLW Women’s World Featherweight Title over in America. When MLW made the decision to book that match, Tokyo Joshi Pro came up with an idea to have the other halves Kyoraku Kyomei and Ober Eats face each other back in Japan. That means Hyper Misao and Wakana Uehara are going to clash one on one in an international buildup for the Princess Tag Team Titles!

One of the novelties that happen when TJPW come to Arisu Endo’s hometown is the local mascots get involved in the show. Akabe and Kappa Green have both featured on these shows in the past but never at the same time. Until next weekend that is.

DDT “SUMIRE SEPTEMBER LOVE 2025”, 14/09/2025
Hokkaido Sapporo Sun Plaza

1. MJ Paul Vs Kazuma Sumi
2. Special 6-Man Tag Match: Yuki Iino, Tomomitsu Matsunaga & Ryuto Vs Tomoya, Yuya Koroku & Hinata Kasai

4. Special 3 Way Tag Match: HARASHIMA & Danshoku Dieno Vs MAO & KANON Vs Chris Brookes & Takeshi Masada
5. Sapporo Specialty Trial Of Two Single Matches Again – Round 1!: Kazuki Hirata Vs Akito
6. Special Single Match: Yuki Ueno Vs Hideki Okatani
7. DDT Extreme Title: To-y (c) Vs Ilusion

The Sapporo Specialty Trial has become more important now that Kazuki Hirata is the KO-D Openweight Champion. It looks like Akito will be in good shape by the time these two matches take place.

DDT “SUMIRE MELTY LOVE 2025”, 15/09/2025
Hokkaido Sapporo Sun Plaza

1. Hideki Okatani, Ilusion & MJ Paul Vs Danshoku Dieno, Ryuto & Kazuma Sumi
2. Special 6-Man Tag Match: To-y, Tomoya & Noriyuki Yoshida Vs Yukio Naya, Tomomitsu Matsunaga & Hinata Kasai
3. Sapporo Specialty Trial Of Two Single Matches Again – Round 2!: Akito Vs Kazuki Hirata
4. Special Tag Match: MAO & KANON Vs HARASHIMA & Yuya Koroku
5. Special Single Match: Kazusada Higuchi Vs Daichi Sato
6. Special 6-Man Tag Match: Yuki Iino, Yuki Ueno & Yuki Ishida Vs Jun Akiyama, Chris Brookes & Takeshi Masada

TJPW isn’t the only place to have a trio of Yuki’s teaming together. DDT can do that too. Behold… Team 100% Yuki!

BASARA “BASARA 288 ~UTAGE~”, 17/09/2025
Shin-Kiba 1st RING

1. 3 Way Tag Match: Isami Kodaka & Takumi Tsukamoto Vs Ryuichi Sekine & FUMA Vs Daiki Shimomura & Lil’ Kraken
2. Ryota Nakatsu, Daichi Kazato & Guts Ishijima Vs Trans-Am ★ Hiroshi, Masato Kamino & Tsutomu Oosugi
3. Takeru Inoue Vs Tomoki Hatano
4. Takato Nakano Vs Gouma Ryu
5. Iron Fist Tag Team Titles: Kengo Mashimo & Ayumu Honda (c) Vs SAGAT & Minoru Fujita

Preparations for the upcoming Iron Fist Tag Tournament are in full gear at the next BASARA show. Takeru Inoue and Tomoki Hatano will be teaming up for the tournament but they will wrestle each other here first. Several other teams will be in action too.

At the last show Masato Kamino teamed up with WizRYU under a mask as Body Slam Machine. Now Gouma Ryu had nothing to do with that but the new unit is named after him so he better be careful if Takato Nakano thinks he is taking away his Aijin Tag partner.

Daichi Kazato gets his wish to team up with Guts Ishijima. His tournament partner Ryota Nakatsu is on the team too so at least there is someone normal there for Ishijima to get along with.

DDT “CHARISMANIAxMANIAxMANIA”, 02/10/2025
Tokyo Korakuen Hall

1. TOGO FAMILY Vs DDT: Dick Togo, Yasu Urano, KUBITO & Diego Vs Kazusada Higuchi, Yuki Ueno, HARASHIMA & Akito
2. Daisuke Sasaki 20th Anniversary Match: Daisuke Sasaki & El Desperado Vs Shuji Ishikawa & Antonio Honda

At the moment it’s unclear is Daisuke Sasaki’s rib injury will force him out of his own show. But at least on the undercard we get Dick Togo summoning several of his proteges together for a big tag match against DDT’s all stars. Yasu Urano, KUBITO & Diego all have Togo to thank for various part of their wrestling careers.

DDT “ULTIMATE PARTY 2025”, 03/11/2025
Tokyo Ryogoku Kokugikan

1. Sanshiro Takagi Return Match – Special Single Match: Sanshiro Takagi Vs Hinata Kasai
2. Special Tag Match: KONOSUKE TAKESHITA & Kaisei Takechi Vs X & X
3. Dramatic Dream Match: Zack Sabre Jr. Vs Chris Brookes

DDT promised this week that a special guest will be at “ULTIMATE PARTY 2025” and they revealed it to be Tetsuya Endo. He’ll be returning to DDT for one night only before going back to finish his year long excursion at NOAH.

DDT Around The World – August 2025

September 1, 2025

This month’s article starts late because most of Konosuke Takeshita’s month was spent in New Japan where he won the G1 Climax tournament. You can read about that here if you missed it. He will now wait for 13th October to fight for the IWGP World Heavyweight Title at Sumo Hall against either Zack Sabre Jr. or Ren Narita. Until then he is back wrestling in AEW where another path has suddenly appeared in front of him. Are we on the way towards a big singles match against Kazuchika Okada?

Also in August Chris Brookes and Takeshi Masada spent a weekend in the Philippines that turned out to be a very special one for Brookes. “Tupe” now has a third country he can call home if he for some reason ever needs to get away from both England and Japan. Meanwhile over in Malaysia, Kira Summer got to dip her toes outside of Tokyo Joshi Pro for the first time. Will she get the travelling bug like Miyu Yamashita and Maki Itoh did? Yamashita has a European tour coming up soon and Itoh will be along for one small part of it. Speaking of Itoh, I’ll continue writing about her international bookings for the time being but if she ends up signing to another Japanese company or takes up a busy wrestling schedule elsewhere in Japan then I’m sorry to say it will be time to bid her adieu on this website. I only have so much time on my hands.

Oh, there’s one more quick thing to mention. Maybe I’ll write up a separate post about it soon. A few people on different wrestling Discords have done some detective work and may have found out where Keigo Nakamuara is having his excursion. Is he the new masked luchador named Tokio who showed up in the Mexican indies over the summer? Stay tuned.

Results


AEW “COLLISION”, 20/08/2025 (Aired 23/08/2025)
OVO Hydro, Glasgow, Scotland

1. Konosuke Takeshita defeated Tomohiro Ishii with the Raging Fire (10:36).

After taking only a few days of rest, Takeshita travelled all the way over to the UK to be present for a week of “FORBIDDEN DOOR” related events. First stop was Glasgow, Scotland where Takeshita faced off against Tomohiro Ishii. AEW promoted the bout as a rematch from “WRESTLE DYNASTY” back on 5th January. Ishi almost won this time with a Power Bomb but Takeshita got his hand raised in the end by using the Raging Fire.


BAKA GAIJIN + FRIENDS “MNL”, 22/08/2025
The Social House, Makati, Philippines
??? Fans

1. International Dream Match: Crystal & Robin Sane defeated Patricia Ligaia & Dr. Gore (?:??).
2. 3 Way Match: Nigel San Jose defeated Saint John Martin and Danny Zamora when San Jose pinned Martin with a Hot Dog Assisted Knee Strike (?:??).
3. Fabio Makisig defeated El Katipunero (?:??).
4. International Dream Match: Chris Bookes & Takeshi Masada defeated Jake De Leon & Isaiah Valencia when Masada pinned Valencia with the Masada no Chikara KOBU Mukimuki (?:??).

I kind of have a report of the show that can be seen here. Credit for the results go out to SEA Wrestling for having them posted on their site.


LLL “IF THE APOCALYPSE COMES, BEEP ME!”, 22/08/2025
The Oriental Theater, Denver, Colorado, USA

1. Yuka Sakazaki defeated Dulce Tormenta with The Magical Girl Splash (?:??).

This one flew under my radar but Yuka Sakazaki had a match on the indies this month! She appeared at Lucha Libre & Laughs where she beat Dulce Tormenta.


DXCN “PEKSMAN”, 24/08/2025
Brawl Pit Bulusan, Quezon City, Philippines

1. Kiss Of Death Match: Takeshi Masada defeated Jake De Leon with the Masada no Chikara KOBU Mukimuki (?:??).
2. International Dream Match: Chris Brookes defeated Robin Sane with the Praying Mantis Bomb (?:??).

The role Brookes is playing in developing the Pinoy wrestling scene was recognized at the end of the weekend. During the shows the fans gave him the nickname Tupe. The Dexcon show was on the same day as his birthday so after Brookes beat Robin Sane in the main event, everyone came out from the back to throw him a party. He also received a certificate signed by several of the local wrestlers to unofficially declare Christopher “Tupe” Brookes as a Filipino citizen.

The rule for the Kiss Of Death match was that the wrestlers needed to kiss their opponent before delivering their winning move. Masada went full “Baby Girl” mode for the match and even used lip balm to set up his kiss to Jake De Leon.


AEW “DYNAMITE”, 27/08/2025
2300 Arena, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, USA

1. All Star 8-Man Tag: Kazuchika Okada, Konosuke Takeshita, Josh Alexander & Hechicero defeated Bandido, Brody King, Kevin Knight & Mike Bailey when Alexander pinned Bailey with a Forward Rolling Clutch (11:20).

Takeshita didn’t have a match at “FORBIDDEN DOOR” but he did appear during the show. But when Wardlow was revealed to be the newest member of The Don Callis Family, the entire unit gathered together with Takeshita being the last person to show up. He didn’t seem to be enthusiastic over this turn of events but seemed to accept Wardlow into the group. Then a few days later Takeshita was part of the Family’s team for an 8-Man Tag against Brodido & JetSpeed. Here is when cracks within the family began to surface as Takeshita and Okada both got tagged in at the same time and got in each other’s faces over it. They got in each other’s way again later in the match so it’s pretty clear what direction we’re going.


APAC “SLAMFEST 2025”, 30/08/2025
Stadium Juara, Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia

1. APAC Women’s Title No. 1 Contender Fatal 4 Way: Tarlee defeated Crystal, Kira Summer and Mio Shirai when Tarlee pinned Summer (?:??).

A big weekend for pro wrestling in Malaysia took place just over the weekend when APAC Wrestling held a show featuring wrestlers from around the world including talent who are under WWE ID deals and hold championships under that project. Not only that but Kira Summer got to take part in a wrestling show outside of Japan for the first time since joining TJPW. She was in a 4 Way Match against fellow Australian wrestler Tarlee, now firmly back from retirement Mio Shirai and Crystal the former APAC Women’s Champion. No. 1 Contendership for that title was on the line and Tarlee got it after pinning Summer to win the match.

Upcoming Appearances


ROH “ROH ON HONORCLUB”, ??/09/2025
2300 Arena, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, USA

1. ROH Women’s Pure Title Tournament – Round 1: Serena Deeb Vs Yuka Sakazaki

I don’t know which is more surprising, that we’re getting another Yuka Sakazaki match in ROH so soon or that the long planned tournament to crown a ROH Women’s Pure Champion is finally going ahead. She’s entering an eight woman tournament under pure wrestling rules (limited rope breaks, closed fist punches are fouls, etc.) and Serena Deeb is her first round opponent. Since Deeb in storyline is one of the wrestlers most attached to the idea of having a Women’s Pure Title, I don’t like Sakazaki’s odds of making it to the next round.


MLW “FIGHTLAND”, 13/09/2025
NYTEX Sports Centre, Dallas, Texas, USA

1. Yuki Kamifuku Vs X
2. Shoko Nakajima Vs X

It was already known that Shoko Nakajima would be travelling back to Texas next month for an MLW taping but one of their latest advert banners show that Yuki Kamifuku will be part of the event too. The last time Kamifuku was in MLW she and Shotzi Blackheart shared an idea of wrestling each other sometime. Blackheart already has a match booked for the live stream portion of show but that doesn’t mean she can’t have another taped for TV down the line. Or what if Kamifuku gets to challenge Nakajima for the MLW Women’s World Featherweight Title?


VGM “FVF WRESTLING STAR MEET AND GREET & PRO WRESTLING MATCH”, 18/10/2025
Full House, Liangxi, Wuxi, China

1. HIMAWARI Vs X
2. Rika Tatsumi Vs X

The China trip for Rika Tatsumi and HIMAWARI seems so far away.


SETUP/IWA THAILAND “A NEW DAWN”, 14/11/2025
TOKYO SQUARE In Itabashi

1. Pom Harajuku Vs X
2. Kaya Toribami Vs X
3. Miyu Yamashita Vs X
4. HARASHIMA Vs X

Recently it’s been wrestling from Japan that makes its way over to to Thailand but now the opposite is happening. SETUP (and its spin-off IWA Thailand) will be heading to Tokyo to hold its first ever show in Japan and wrestlers from several Japanese promotions have been invited to take part. DDT will be sending HARASHIMA to the event while TJPW is being represented by Miyu Yamashita, Kaya Toribami and Pom Harajuku.


WXW “25TH ANNIVERSARY TOUR”, 21/11/2025
Markthalle, Hamburg, Germany

1. Miyu Yamashita Vs X

Yamashita begins a European winter vacation over in Germany for wXw.


WXW “25TH ANNIVERSARY TOUR”, 22/11/2025
Gruenspan, Hamburg, Germany

1. Miyu Yamashita Vs X

She’ll be part of two shows for wXw on the tour that celebrates the company’s 25th anniversary.


WPE/QPW “EPISODE 2”, 28/11/2025
Salle Albert Marquet, La Frette-sur-Seine, France

1. Miyu Yamashita Vs X

A few days later Yamashita then goes to France to wrestle on a show co-promoted by two brands. Wrestling Pro Essone and women’s promotion Queens Pro Wrestling held their first show together back in March and for their second event they get to have Yamashita’s first match ever in France!


SAJ “FINAL BOUT 4”, 29/11/2025
Magnete, Via Adriando, Milan, Italy

1. Miyu Yamashita Vs X
2. Maki Itoh Vs X

Yamashita then returns to Italy for SAJ Wrestling the next day but she won’t be alone. Itoh is there too for a booking that was already announced before she left TJPW. SAJ also said this will be Itoh’s only appearance in Europe but they didn’t say for what period of time. Is it her only European appearance for the month? The rest of the year? Is there a reason why she’s travelling to Italy for only one show, like she has anywhere else to be?
