Tokyo Joshi Pro runs their monthly mid-major event, ALL RISE ’24, today in Tokyo. It’s not quite as major as most monthly events because in an unusual occurrence there are no TJPW title matches and the only title match is for outside titles. The main attraction is an appearance by Meiko Satomura-the highly respected 30-year veteran is retiring in April and will find herself opposite Miyu Yamashita for the first time in 7 years, which was early on in Yamashita’s career when they faced each other in a single match. This time it’s a tag match as an early stop in Satomura’s farewell tour as her career has taken her from All-Japan Women to being a co-founder of Sendai Girls with Jinsei Shinzaki, to WWE in recent years (as part of the NXT brand, mostly it’s short-lived UK spinoff and as a coach) and now back to Japan and TJPW. As for the title match, Yuki Kamifuku will defend the Queen Of Asia & VPW (Vietnam) Certified Women’s Championships against Xia Zhao, the former Xia Li in WWE (the first Chinese woman wrestler in the promotion) who also has begun competing in TNA Wrestling under a different name.
Today’s event will be held at Korakuen Hall in Tokyo and can be watched LIVE on WRESTLE UNIVERSE in Japanese and English. There are 8 matches scheduled but only the title match and main event have more than 20 minute time limits so expect this to be a “standard” Korakuen event with a running time of about 2 1/2 hours, the longest it could possibly go is about 3 hours.
Today’s lineup (in order):
Wakana Uehara & Haru Kazashiro vs. Toga & Uta Takami
Yuki Aino, Raku & Pom Harajuku vs. Kakeru Sekiguchi, Kira Summer & Chika Nanase
