Tokyo Joshi Pro Wrestling 10/26/25 LIVE Results (Updated x2)

Tokyo Joshi Pro continues their fall house show tour today in Tokyo, highlighted by the end of the NexGene ’25 Tournament. The winner will get a title shot of their choice, and being a double-elimination tournament makes for a unique final as Uta Takami faces Chika Nanase. If Takami wins she wins the tournament but if Nanase wins that’s only one loss so far for Takami so that would mean an immediate rematch and Nanase must beat Takami twice in a row to win.

It has been announced that Shoko Nakajima is off this event due to having completed in Mexico yesterday. (On another side note, today-yesterday Japan time-is Yuki Aino’s birthday, she turned 31) Also, after a successful defense earlier in the week it appears Mahiro Kiryu is still the DDT Iron Man Heavymetalweight Champion, so you never know what will happen there. If so, if she loses in her match and gets pinned/submitted whoever beat her becomes champion.

Today’s event will be held at Ryogoku KFC Hall in Tokyo and can be watched LIVE on WRESTLE UNIVERSE. There will be no commentary. Outside of the tournament final it’s otherwise a standard house show and should have a standard running time of about 2 hours. Also, due to simulcasting a Pro Wrestling NOAH event shortly after this event begins some results may be delayed slightly.

Today’s lineup (match order TBA):
Miu Watanabe & Yuki Aino vs. Yuki Arai & Mifu Ashida
Yuki Kamifuku, Wakana Uehara & Kira Summer vs. HIMAWARI, Shino Suzuki & Haru Kazashiro
Miyu Yamashita & Kaya Toribami vs. Suzume & Pom Harajuku
Rika Tatsumi & Mahiro Kiryu vs. Hyper Misao & Raku
Mizuki vs. Toga
Arisu Endo vs. Ren Konatsu
NexGene Tournament Finals: Uta Takami vs. Chika Nanase. If Nanase wins there will be an immediate rematch due to being a double-elimination format (Takami has no losses, Nanase has one)

Updates below will begin at 8:30 PM PT/11:30 PM ET. The live stream is scheduled to begin 15 minutes before the event.

8:15 PM PT UPDATE: The live stream has begun. We should be going to the venue in 10-15 minutes.

8:28 PM PT UPDATE: Live updates begin now.

We are LIVE from Ryogoku KFC Hall in Tokyo, Japan. There is no commentary.

The paid attendance will be announced after the event. The setup appeared to be for around 350 (full capacity for the venue is roughly 500) but they have a lot going against them today-baseball (although World Series Game 2 featuring Shohei Ohtani is now over), other events and in particular a Marigold event coming up in a couple hours (also on WRESTLE UNIVERSE as a PPV). I’m guessing a little on the low side here and predicting it’ll be a crowd of about 200. (UPDATE: The announced paid attendance was 282)

The matches should begin in about 10 minutes.

The matches begin at 8:40 PM PT/11:40 PM ET. Tournament Final will be match 5 today.

Match 1: Arisu Endo vs. Ren Konatsu. 15 minute time limit
Result: Arisu Endo beat Ren Konatsu by submission

During the match this happened…
RIka Tatsumi beat DDT Iron Man Heavymetalweight Champion Mahiro Kiryu to win the title. Tatsumi becomes the 1779th Champion, I missed that spot.

Match 3: Miyu Yamashita & Kaya Toribami vs. Suzume & Pom Harajuku. 20 minute time limit

Match 5: NexGene ’25 Tournament Finals: Uta Takami vs. Chika Nanase. If Nanase wins there will be an immediate rematch due to being a double-elimination format. No time limit
Result: Chika Nanase beat Uta Takami. Which led to…
Immediate Rematch: Uta Takami vs. Chika Nanase. No time limit
Result: Uta Takami beat Chika Nanase by submission to win the tournament. As a result, Takami gets a TJPW title shot of her choice. And it looks like she’s made her choice…International Princess Championship as she called out Endo. That match likely will happen on 11/9 at Korakuen Hall. (UPDATE: It’s now official)

UPDATE 2: If Tatsumi is still Iron Man Champion at that time, she will defend the title on 11/1 vs. Pom Harajuku. As always with the title and it’s 24/7 nature, emphasis on “If” and this comes with the “subject to change” disclaimer.

BREAKING: Popular Independent Japan-US Women’s Promotion Shutting Down

At least for now, but it’s still tough news…the still-relatively-young independent promotion Kitsune Women’s Wrestling, based in the US but also featuring a lot of Japanese talent, announced today it was suspending operations effective immediately. It’s a one-man operation and he announced the promotion is shutting down for now due to family & personal reasons. The promotion’s Kitsune Women’s Championship and title belt will remain in Japan with current champion Yuna Manase.

The promotion was launched in 2023 in California and ran its latest events on June 7 & 8. Besides Manase, other notable wrestlers from Japan featured in the promotion included Miyu Yamashita, Tae Honma and Sayaka Unagi as well as independent US wrestlers. I didn’t really get a chance to see much of it but it has a devoted fanbase and did help bring their Japanese wrestlers over to the US a little more (as well as being step in Yamashita’s continuing path to world domination as she continues to represent Tokyo Joshi Pro worldwise). Hopefully the owner/promoter can bring it back someday but it’s too soon to say. Also, for now at least the promotion’s store on Pro Wrestling Tees is still up (it has 7 shirts available).
