Tokyo Joshi Pro Wrestling runs their monthly signature event, Stand Alone ’26, today in Tokyo. That means it’s a major event with all 3 titles on the line. The headliner is Yuki Arai defending the Princess Of Princess Championship against Yuki Kamifuku. Many fans are surprised that this is the first time “The Casual Beauty” is challenging for the top title in the promotion but Kamifuku, among the oldest in the promotion at 33 (and also the tallest wrestler), is claiming it’s part of an “anti-aging” strategy. Nonetheless it’s certainly interesting. In the other title matches, Suzume defends the International Princess Champoinship against (very unworthy challenger) Mahiro Kiryu, and Miu Watanabe & Rika Tatsumi defend the Princess Tag Team Championship against Mizuki & Uta Takami. Additionally, outside participation today will feature the returning MIRAI (Michinoku Pro) and YuuRI (Ganbare Pro).
It also was announced that Miyu Ywmaahita will miss this event due to Pro Wrestling EVE participation in England (it looks like she won that promotion’s championship last night for the second time).
Today’s event will be held at Korakuen Hall in Tokyo and can be watched LIVE on WRESTLE UNIVERSE and ABEMA (WRESTLE UNIVERSE paid live-add-on required) in Japanese & English.. Current (at last check) DDT Iron Man Heavymetalweight Champion Sumire Uesaka will be a guest on commentary so it could get wacky. Uesaka will present a prize to the winners of Match 5 so that’s when to pay attention. There are 8 matches planned for today with the usual post-event gatherings set so this probably will be a “standard for them” Korakuen event with a running time of about 2 1/2 hours.
Today’s lineup:
Yuki Aino, Ren Konatsu & Shion Kanzaki vs. Arisu Endo, Sakura Hattori & Kira Summer
YuuRI vs. Chika Nanase
Wakana Uehara vs. Toga
MIRAI vs. Haru Kazashiro
Shoko Nakajima & Hyper Misao vs. Raku & Pom Harajuku and HIMAWARI & Mifu Ashida in a 3-way

Princess Tag Team Champions Miu Watanabe & Rika Tatsumi vs. Mizuki & Uta Takami for the titles

Updates below will begin at 7:30 PM PT/10:30 PM ET. The live stream is scheduled to begin 20 minutes before the event. Opening announcements will begin 10 minutes before the event.
7:10 PM PT UPDATE: The live stream has begun. We should be going to the venue shortly.
7:12 PM PT UPDATE: Live updates begin now.
We are LIVE from Korakuen Hall in Tokyo, Japan. Your hosts are Haruo Murata, Kagehiro Osano, Sayoko Mita & current DDT Iron man Heavymetalweight Champion Sumire Uesada.
The paid attendance will be announced after the event. Advance ticket sales were much better than usual for a Korakuen event so there’s a chance of a sellout with enough same-day traffic. Sounds like they should easily get to at least 1000 with reduced capacity setup in place. (UPDATE: The announced paid attendance was 1093, a full house/near sellout. Outstanding number for Korakuen and a good 30% above their average for the venue, which is around 750)
The matches should begin in 25-30 minutes.
During the opening shadow announcements, DDT wrestler Antonio Honda comes out. With microphone and referee Daisuke Kiso. He wants the Iron Man title back! Attempt repelled by Uesaka. For now.
During opening announcements, Hyper Misao comes out. Announced is her 4th independent produced event which will be on 9/15 at Kitazawa Town Hall.
The matches begin at 7:35 PM PT/10:35 PM ET. And today we have STREAMERS!!!
Match 1: Yuki Aino, Ren Konatsu & Shion Kanzaki vs. Arisu Endo, Sakura Hattori & Kira Summer. 20 minute time limit (Aino has black hair today, almost didn’t recognize her)
Result: Arisu Endo, Sakura Hattori & Kira Summer beat Yuki Aino, Ren Konatsu & Shion Kanzaki. Endo pinned Konatsu after The 10th Law.
Match 2: YuuRI (Ganbare Pro) vs. Chika Nanase. 15 minute time limit

Match 3: Wakana Uehara vs. Toga. 15 minute time limit
Result: Wakana Uehara beat Toga
Match 4: MIRAI (Michinoku Pro) vs. Haru Kazashiro. 15 minute time limit
Result: MIRAI beat Haru Kazashiro by submission
Match 5: Shoko Nakajima & Hyper Misao vs. Raku & Pom Harajuku and HIMAWARI & Mifu Ashida in a 3-way. The winners will get one million in currency to use at a restaurant/experience partly operated by Sumire Uesaka. 20 minute time limit
Result: Shoko Nakajima & Hyper Misao beat Raku & Pom Harajuku and HIMAWARI & Mifu Ashida in a 3-way when Nakajima pinned HIMAWARI & Harajuku. Nice consolation prize for Nakajima who, in a previously taped episode of MLW Fusion that aired earlier today (can be watched FOR FREE on YouTube), lost her MLW Women’s World Championship (no longer weight classes I guess because she was Featherweight Champion before) to former WWE wrestler Shotzi Blackheart after holding the title for over a year. WHich led to…
Shoko Nakajima beat DDT Iron Man Heavymetalweight Champion Sumire Uesaka to win the title. Nakajima becomes the 1806th Champion. Which led to…
Hyper Misao beat DDT Iron Man Heavymetalweight Champion Shoko Nakajima to win the title. Misao becomes the 1807th Champion. Which led to…
Pom Harajuku beat DDT Iron Man Heavymetalweight Champion Hyper Misao to win the title. Harajuku becomes the 1808th Champion. All’s well that ends well.
Match 6: International Princess Champion Suzume vs. Mahiro Kiryu for the title. 30 minute time limit
Result: International Princess Champion Suzume beat Mahiro Kiryu to retain the title. V3 for Suzume. She almost got away to the back before…next up: Uehara. She was waiting & eager to make the challenge. She’s been keeping the Ober Eats vibe going on YouTube and the title would look great along with all those calories & good food she’s eating all over the world (she has changed the name of her channel from her name to “Wakana Eats Everything” and is doing her videos with dubbed English). Check out her videos from Las Vegas including at the Heart Attack Grill where she completed the Octuple Bypass Challenge. Right before it unfortunately closed.
Match 7: Princess Tag Team Champions Miu Watanabe & Rika Tatsumi vs. Mizuki & Uta Takami for the titles. 30 minute time limit
Result: Princess Tag Team Champions Miu Watanabe & Rika Tatsumi beat Mizuki & Uta Takami to retain the titles. Watanabe pinned Takami after Daydream. V1 for the champs. Afterwards, champs with microphone, which means we’re going to find out who is next up…and they’re en fuego…Nakajima & Misao. Hard to tell if they made up already after earlier.
Main Event: Princess Of Princess Champion Yuki Arai vs. Yuki Kamifuku for the title. 30 minute time limit
Result: Princess Of Princess Champion Yuki Arai beat Yuki Kamifuku to retain the title. V3 for Arai. Now I can breathe again for a little while and go home very happy. But now the moment when we find out who’s next…and now I’m very worried…THE CHAMP IS HERE! NEW Pro Wrestling Eve Champion Miyu Yamashita. Better enjoy it while I can because I have a feeling that, much to my dismay, it’s gonna be over at SUMMER SUN PRINCESS ’26. Hopefully not, but the greatest test for Arai as champion is next.
The next event is Saturday at Yokohama Radiant Hall in Yokohama to continue the spring house show tour. Live streaming on WRESTLE UNIVERSE will begin Friday at 8 PM PT/11 PM ET.
UPDATE: It’s now official…All 3 title matches hinted at after today will happen at SUMMER SUN PRINCESS ’26 on 7/18. Also set for 7/18 is Aja Kong vs. Arisu Endo and MIRAI & Sakura Hirota participation.
