DDT has just announced the field for Tokyo Joshi Pro’s 3rd Futari-wa Princess Max Heart Tournament in January & February. There will be 10 teams entered this year, which are as follows:
Yuki Arai & Saki Akai
Rika Tatsumi & Miu Watanabe
Miyu Yamashita & Maki Itoh
Shoko Nakajima & Hyper Misao
Hikari Noa & Nao Kakuta
Yuki Kamifuku & Mahiro Kiryu
Yuki Aino & Raku
Suzume & Arisu Endo
Moka Miyamoto & Juria Nagano
Neko Haruna & Kaya Toribami
Noticeably missing: Yuka Sakazaki & Mizuki. Sakazaki plans to go back to the US during this time, presumably for a return to All Elite Wrestling, and being the obnoxious, privileged brat she is Mizuki won’t enter the tournament if she can’t team with Sakazaki. Also out is Pom Harajuku, she is out in order to support Aino & Raku.
The first round will be on 1/15 at Otemachi Mitsui Hall in Tokyo with 2 teams getting a free pass to the Quarterfinals. The Quarterfinals will be on 1/19 at Shinjuku Face with 2 of the 1/15 winners getting a free pass to the Semifinals. The Semifinals are on 1/29 at Kusakabe Fureai Cube in Saitama with the Finals on 2/11 at Korakuen Hall. The tournament winners likely will get a Princess Tag Team Championship match at GRAND PRINCESS ’23 in March against whoever comes out of the upcoming Arai/Akai-Heidi Howitzer/Max The Impaler title match as champions.
Matchups TBA.
