Tokyo Joshi Pro’s annual November quarterly major event, ALL RISE ’26, is coming up today. The last of their signature major events, it is headlined by the standard 3 title matches-first up, the youth movement tries to take another big step forward as Uta Takami challenges International Princess Champion Suzume for the title. Second, Yuki Aino & Haru Kazashiro defend the Princess Tag Team Championship against the tricky & wacky duo of Pom Harajuku & Raku. Finally, in the main event, it’s another one that will have me on edge as Yuki Arai defends the Princess Of Princess Championship against Shoko Nakajima. Arai has never beaten Nakajima in singles matches yet which obviously worries me, but hopefully today will be the first time. Earlier in the card there also is the NexGene Tournament Finals as Ren Konatsu faces Momo Sato, with the double-elimination rule meaning Sato has to beat Konatsu twice to win it all, and a pair of new wrestlers are welcomed aboard as J-Pop idol Shiori Futaba will make her debut along with fellow rookie Yui Musubi, both in tag matches.
Although it did not affect the card due to announcement timing, it was also announced that Miyu Yamashita, HIMAWARI & Sakura Hattori are all off the event. Schedule conflicts. In Yamashita’s case it’s more Pro Wrestling EVE participation in England, there was an event yesterday (11/6) I believe) so she may not have made it back in time even in best-case. Not sure about HIMAWARI & Hattori.
Today’s event will be held at Korakuen Hall in Tokyo and can be watched LIVE on WRESTLE UNIVERSE in Japanese. Marika Tani will be making her semi-regular appearance on commentary for several matches as the host and voice actress Ayaka Shimizu will be a special guest on commentary. There are 8 matches planned so a little light for a Korakuen event and that along with the usual post-match fan event (which is at Ryogoku KFC Hall) should mean a “standard” Korakuen running time of about 2 1/2 hours.
Today’s lineup:
Yui Musubi Debut Match: Yui Musubi & Toga vs. Shion Kanzaki & Chieri Sakimori
Hyper Misao & Shino Suzuki vs. Mahiro Kiryu & Kira Summer
Shiori Futaba Debut Match: Shiori Futaba, Miu Watanabe & Rika Tatsumi vs. Mizuki, Wakana Uehara & Mifu Ashida
NexGene Tournament Finals: Ren Konatsu vs. Momo Sato. If Sato wins, there will be an immediate rematch because Sato must win twice to win the tournament (it’s double-elimination, Sato has lost once while Konatsu has not lost)
Yuki Kamifuku & Nagisa Nozaki vs. Arisu Endo & Chika Nanase
International Princess Champion Suzume vs. Uta Takami for the title
Princess Tag Team Champions Yuki Aino & Haru Kazashiro vs. Pom Harajuku & Raku for the titles
Princess Of Princess Champion Yuki Arai vs. Shoko Nakajima for the title

Updates below will begin at 6:30 PM PT/9:30 PM ET. The live stream is scheduled to begin 20 minutes before the event. The opening announcements are scheduled to begin 10 minutes before the event.
UPDATE (Pre-show): The event start time has been DELAYED due to unforeseen circumstances affecting setup at the venue. The WRESTLE UNIVERSE live stream will now begin at 6:30 PM PT/9:30 PM ET. The opening announcements will follow about 10 minutes after that. This means the matches will now probably start shortly after 7 PM PT/10 PM ET.
6:15 PM PT UPDATE: The live stream has begun. It is saying we should be going to the venue in 10 minutes.
6:25 PM PT UPDATE: Live updates begin now.
We are LIVE from Korakuen Hall in Tokyo, Japan. Your hosts are Haruo Murata, Kagehiro Osano, Sayoko Mita (who both forgot to turn their microphones on at first) and Ayaka Shimizu. Marika Tani will join later for some matches.
The paid attendance will be announced after the event. Due to the delays in setup the seating opened only 10 minutes ago so it will take time for the crowd to file in. It’s the usual reduced capaaity setup but advance sales were good so it sounds like they’ll get to at least 1000, maybe 1100. (UPDATE: The announced paid attendance was 971)
The matches should begin in 25-30 minutes.
During opening announcements a new title was introduced, seems to somehow be related to social media. Referee Fumirin showed off the new title belt. Details via TJPW’s website: It’s called the Unlimited Princess Championship, which is a variation of the DDT Iron Man Heavymetalweight Championship. But it has some unique rules: It is a 24/7 title but a challenge or defense request must be made via SNS/texts/social media 24 hours beforehand along with rules. If the “tournament secretariat” approves the rules that will be posted on social media, and it doesn’t have to be a normal match (so in that sense like the DDT Extreme Championship). The full matches MUST be posted on social media. Determination battle royal to crown the first champion will be held on 12/26 but subject to change as details are still being worked out.
Rise Shirai then botched the Up Up Girls intro.
The matches begin at 6:56 PM PT/9:56 PM ET. And it’s Korakuen which means STREAMERS!!!

Main Event: Princess Of Princess Champion Yuki Arai vs. Shoko Nakajima for the title. 30 minute time limit
Result: Shoko Nakajima beat Princess Of Princess Champion Yuki Arai to win the title. Nakajima becomes the 18th Princess Of Princess Champion. Beyond gutted & heartbroken. Arai’s first title reign has ended but hopefully it’s not her last. Nakajima joins Miyu Yamashita & Yuka Sakazaki as 3-time champions. Now I will root very hard for whoever will be the first challenger…and it’s revealed right away…Watanabe. Unless they do it in the US next month, it sounds like it’ll happen at Ittenyon aka 1/4…but wait a second…Misao interrupts! She wants a title shot too! And went as far as to attack Watanabe! To Be Continued…until then, I’m going to drown out my sorrows over this match.
The next event is 11/15 at Chunichi Hall in Nagoya. There will be no live broadcast. On demand 11/18.
UPDATE: Nakajima will defend the title on 1/4 but not in a 3-way. It will be against either Misao or Watanabe, which will be decided on 11/15 by a match between them.
As her prize for winning the NexGene Tournament, Konatsu got to make a match request and she made a “selfish” request…a match against Arai. That match will happen on 11/15.
In announcing the full 11/15 card it was also announced that Wakana Uehara is off that event. Schedule conflicts. It sounds like she is headed to Thailand based on social media posts.
