The next event is “Spoiler Prohibited Show Vol. 1” on 4/21 at Tsurumi Fruit & Vegetable Marker in Kanagawa. The promotion will prohibit fans from posting spoilers and match results on SNS/social media until the end of the day after the event, thus results almost certainly will not be available until the end of the day in Japan, which is 8 AM PT/11 AM ET in the US. There will (unsurprisingly) be no live broadcast.

Tokyo Joshi Pro Wrestling 4/13/24 Results (Updated)

Tokyo Joshi Pro is back in Japan after another very successful WrestleMania week excursion to the US and resumes their spring house show tour with an event in Tokyo today, which will be the farewell event for Juria Nagano, who is leaving the promotion and pro wrestling after today’s event. Nagano did not say she is retiring so the door may remain open in the future, but at least for now she is going to be done. Maintaining a part-time schedule, she showed flashes of potential but unfortunately she missed a majority of the last 2 years due to injuries. She also is active as an actress and with other interests so there isn’t much time for wrestling. She will have 2 final matches today, first a trios match then her finale will be a single match against regular partner Moka Miyamoto.

There have been late changes to the event card because Hyper Misao is now off due to injury. Fractured right ankle. She was to have faced Yuki Kamifuku & Uta Takami in a 3-way. It’s now a single match. Also, for those unaware, Miyu Yamashita stayed in the US for another extended excursion and is not expected to return to Japan until mid-June. Maki Itoh also remains in the US for now.

Today’s event will be held at Kitazawa Town Hall in Tokyo and can be watched LIVE on WRESTLE UNIVERSE. There will be no commentary. The event is a legit advance sellout. Even with anything they may do as a send-off for Nagano this is otherwise a standard house show and should have a running time of around 2 hours.
There is a chance results at the start will be slightly delayed if the New Japan “Windy City Riot” PPV runs long. It starts 3 1/2 hours before this event and it could go 4+ hours.

Today’s lineup:
Yuki Kamifuku vs. Uta Takami
Mizuki & Nao Kakuta vs. Runa Okubo & Haru Kazashiro
Rika Tatsumi, Raku & Chika Nanase vs. Mahiro Kiryu, Toga & Kira Summer
Miu Watanabe, Suzume & Arisu Endo vs. Shoko Nakajima, Wakana Uehara & HIMAWARI
Juria Nagano, Moka Miyamoto & Kaya Toribami vs. Yuki Aino, Pom Harajuku & Shino Suzuki
Juria Nagano vs. Moka Miyamoto

Refresh this page occasionally for the latest results.

Updates below will begin at 8:30 PM PT/11:30 PM ET.

8:31 PM PT UPDATE: Live updates begin now.

We are LIVE from Kitazawa Town Hall in Tokyo, Japan. There is no commentary.

The paid attendance will be announced after the event. It’s a legit advance sellout so the number will depend on the setup-the venue’s listed full capacity is 294 but it looks like it’ll be closer to 200. (UPDATE: The announced paid attendance was 294, so it was full capacity)

The matches will begin shortly. Looks like it’s a high-up hard camera only view.

During the opening announcements, Hyper Misao is brought out. She’s on crutches and with a cast/boot on her injured foot. Safe to say she won’t be able to compete at her produced event coming up in just over 2 weeks here. Also, compared to normal the video quality for the stream is not as good as usual. Seems like SD at best where usually the highest quality is HD.

The matches begin at 8:46 PM PT/11:46 PM ET.

Match 1: Juria Nagano, Moka Miyamoto & Kaya Toribami vs. Yuki Aino, Pom Harajuku & Shino Suzuki. 20 minute time limit
Result: Juria Nagano, Moka Miyamoto & Kaya Toribami beat Yuki Aino, Pom Harajuku & Shino Suzuki. Nagano pinned Suzuki after a spinning right head kick. Now on to her final match, which will be the main event.

Match 2: Yuki Kamifuku vs. Uta Takami. 15 minute time limit
Result: Yuki Kamifuku beat Uta Takami

Match 3: Rika Tatsumi, Raku & Chika Nanase vs. Mahiro Kiryu, Toga & Kira Summer. 20 minute time limit
Result: Rika Tatsumi, Raku & Chika Nanase beat Mahiro Kiryu, Toga & Kira Summer. Tatsumi beat Summer with a dragon sleeper.

Match 4: Mizuki & Nao Kakuta vs. Runa Okubo & Haru Kazashiro. 20 minute time limit
Result: Mizuki & Nao Kakuta beat Runa Okubo & Haru Kazashiro. Mizuki pinned Kazashiro with Cutie Special.

Quick break for ring maintenance.

Match 5: Miu Watanabe, Suzume & Arisu Endo vs. Shoko Nakajima, Wakana Uehara & HIMAWARI. 20 minute time limit
Result: Shoko Nakajima, Wakana Uehara & HIMWARI beat Miu Watanabe, Suzume & Arisu Endo. Nakajima pinned Watanabe with a rollup. And there it is…as expected, Nakajima with microphone post-match. Challenge issued. Looks like we’ve got our 5/6 main event. Watanabe’s first Princess Of Princess Championship defense appears set. Then HIMAWARI with microphone. Princess Tag Team Championship challenge issued for herself & Uehara to Suzume & Endo. Uehara with microphone. She’s in too. Endo & Suzume accept. That’s two. Now one burning question left-who will International Princess Champion Yuki Arai presumably defend against on 5/6? (5/6 is YES! WONDERLAND, their annual Golden Week blowout event at Korakuen Hall)

Main Event: Juria Nagano Final Match: Juria Nagano vs. Moka Miyamoto. No time limit
Result: Moka Miyamoto beat Juria Nagano. They went just a few moments over 10 minutes.
Afterwards, Miyamoto with microphone. Time for an emotional farewell to her rival and partner, who she formed a solid team with and Nagano definitely made Miyamoto a better wrestler. It’s sad that Nagano’s injury history the last couple years cost her so much time, they could have been Princess Tag Team Champions had they reached their full potential. After Miyamoto finished, Suzume & Arisu Endo came out to present Nagano with a special photo book followed by Yuki Aino with the traditional flowers. Nagano with microphone to thank the fans and deliver her final farewell. For now at least since she never said this was retirement. Hopefully she will be back someday, she definitely has potential as a Miyu Yamashita-type fighter & striker and made such a good team with Miyamoto. I wish her all the best in her future endeavors. Sayuri Namba then made the final call to end the show as the roster came out to join Nagano for the customary final group photo in the ring followed by lots of hugs & well-wishes from everyone, and fittingly Miyamoto was the last one before Nagano said one last goodbye.

The next event is “Gaisen Sakura Pro Wrestling” tomorrow at Shinjo Village in Okayama, part of a special doubleheader with Pro Wrestling BASARA. The location is subject to change depending on weather as it is scheduled to be outdoors. There will be no live broadcast.

UPDATE: It’s now official. Both title matches are set for 5/6.
