Tokyo Joshi Pro wrapped up their April schedule with their almost-regular Saturday matinee event, which also was the final event before their next major event next week.
Today’s event was held at Ryogoku KFC Hall in Tokyo and can be watched on demand on WRESTLE UNIVERSE.
The announced paid attendance was 155. Whoa, 2 straight KFC non-sellouts.
Before the matches, the contract signings for the 5/3 title matches were held. Also, as previously announced, Pom Harajuku missed today’s event due to family circumstances.
Match 1: Suzume beat Kaya Toribami.
Match 2: Yuki Aino beat Arisu Endo.
Match 3: Raku beat Rika Tatsumi & Neko Haruna in a 3-way by pinning Haruna. Tatsumi losing a 3-way these days is always an UPSET ALERT!
Match 4: Maki Itoh beat Moka Miyamoto by submission.
Match 5: Miyu Yamashita & Miu Watanabe beat Yuki Kamifuku & Mahiro Kiryu. Watanabe pinned Kiryu after Kick and Kabom!
Main Event: Hyper Misao, Hikari Noa & Nao Kakuta beat Shoko Nakajima, Yuka Sakazaki & Mizuki. Misao pinned Nakajima after Vanitas.
The next event is “YES! WONDERLAND 2022-Spread the wings of your dreams”, their annual Golden Week major event, Tuesday at Korakuen Hall. Live streaming on WRESTLE UNIVERSE will begin Monday at 10:30 PM ET/7:30 PM PT. All Elite Wrestling superstar Hikaru Shida will return for her 3rd TJPW appearance this year as part of the event.
Post-event news: Yuka Sakazaki is now off Thursday’s (5/5) event at Osaka Prefectural Gym #2. All Elite Wrestling wants her back next week so she’s returning to the US after Tuesday. If she retains the Princess Tag Team Championship Tuesday, there will be a substitute announced for Thursday. It might be a close call on time because she would have to fly from Tokyo to Baltimore, MD on Tuesday and AEW Dynamite is Wednesday, so we’ll see (AEW Rampage on Friday will be TAPED on Wednesday).
Yuna Manase vs. Mahiro Kiryu has been added to Thursday.
