With the Max Heart Tournament now in the books for this year, Tokyo Joshi Pro runs a sort of fallout-themed event today in Tokyo which features a couple of matches we didn’t get in the tournament due to how it played out among others. There are 2 tag matches and 2 8-woman tag matches with the participants, which may or may not offer clues as to who Princess Tag Team Champions and tournament winners Yuki Kamifuku & Wakana Uehara may defend the titles against at GRAND PRINCESS ’26. If the matches today are any indication there won’t be much settled (although there are three teams we can rule out due to other title matches and thus two big name teams…but I have an idea who will be next though). At least it’s one more chance for Wasteland Pom Party before Max The Impaler returns to the US for now ahead of a starring role in a major movie coming in a couple weeks but they will be back for 3/29.
And for those wondering…no, Mahiro Kiryu did not find a way to win the DDT Iron Man Heavymetalweight Championship back from Aja Kong yesterday. She tried post-event though but failed.
Today’s event will be held at Club eX in Shinagawa Prince Hotel in Tokyo and can be watched LIVE on WRESTLE UNIVERSE. There will be no commentary. There are 6 matches today and with no title matches this will be on the short side for a house show with a running time of around 1 3/4 hours but no more than about 2 hours.
Today’s lineup (match order TBA):
Toga vs. Shion Kanzaki
Mahiro Kiryu vs. Sarah Phoenix
Yuki Kamifuku, Wakana Uehara, Miyu Yamashita & Kaya Toribami vs. Shoko Nakajima, Hyper Misao, Raku & Ren Konatsu
Mizuki, Uta Takami, HIMAWARI & Shino Suzuki vs. Yuki Arai, Mifu Ashida, Kira Summer & Chika Nanase
Miu Watanabe & Rika Tatsumi vs. Yuki Aino & Haru Kazashiro
Max The Impaler & Pom Harajuku vs. Suzume & Arisu Endo

6:20 PM PT UPDATE: The live stream has begun. We should be going to the venue in just under 10 minutes.
6:28 PM PT UPDATE: Live updates begin now.
We are LIVE from Club eX in Shinagawa Prince Hotel in Tokyo, Japan. There is no commentary.
The paid attendance will be announced after the event. Advance ticket sales seemed good so it may depend partly on same-day sales for the final number, but my initial guess will be 300. The setup is probably for around 350. (UPDATE: The announced paid attendance was 285, a full house/near sellout)
The matches should begin in 10-15 minutes.
The matches begin at 6:43 PM PT/9:43 PM ET.
