DEVELOPING: Yuki Arai News With Potential TJPW Implications

After today’s SKE48 performance, Yuki Arai announced she will be leaving the group at the end of March 2025 on her official social media accounts. As is custom in Japan they call it “graduating” which probably means either her contract is expiring or it’s her decision. There was no mention of future plans but the obvious question is what will it mean for her future in Tokyo Joshi Pro Wrestling? She will reach one year as International Princess Champion at her next defense on 1/4 and her schedule through February is set but subject to change. Obviously I hope she continues with TJPW but we’ll see what happens.

More as it becomes available.

Stardom continued the Goddess Of Stardom Tag League yesterday in Sendai.

Yesterday’s event was held at Aztec Museum Sendai Industrial Exhibition Hall in Sendai and will be available on demand on Stardom World at a later date. There was no live broadcast.

The announced paid attendance was 297.

Match 1: Waka Tsukiyama & HANAKO beat Maika & Rian. HANAKO pinned Rian.

Match 2; Mei Seira, Starlight Kid & Suzu Suzuki beat Hanan, Momo Kohgo & Motoi Hanabe. Kid beat Hanan with Black Tiger Leg Murder.

Match 6: Blue Block: Rina & Azusa Inaba beat Momo Watanabe & Thekla. Rina beat Thekla with Hydranzia.
Main Event: Red Block: Tam Nakano & Sayaka Kurara beat Syuri & Saki Kashima. Kurara pinned Kashima.

Standings:
Red Block:
1-Hazuki/Koguma, 6-1, 12 pts (Advanced)
2-Maika/HANAKO, 5-1, 10 pts
3-Kamitani/Konami, 3-2, 6 pts
4-Tora/Ruaka, 3-3, 6 pts
5-Syuri/Kashima, 3-3, 6 pts
6-Nakano/Kurara, 2-3, 4 pts
7-Iwatani/Kohgo, 2-4, 4 pts
8-AZM/Amasaki, 2-4, 4 pts
9-Inaba/Yagami, 1-6, 2 pts (OUT)

Blue Block:
1-Saori Anou/Natsupoi, 4-1-2, 10 pts
2-Watanabe/Thekla, 4-1-1, 9 pts
3-Rina/Inaba, 4-3, 8 pts
4-Kid/Suzuki, 2-1-3, 7 pts
5-Seira/Cohaku, 3-3-1, 7 pts
6-Hanan/Iida, 2-3-1, 5 pts
7-Tsukiyama/Rian, 2-3, 4 pts
8-Mizumori/Sakura, 2-4, 4 pts
9-Hina/C, 1-5, 2 pts (OUT)

The top 3 in each block advance, with the winners of each block going to the Semifinals and the other 2 teams facing each other for the second spot. At this point Hazuki/Koguma will advance because the only team that has tiebreakers over them right now is Syuri/Kashima who can’t catch up. Maika/HANAKO are all but through as their only loss so far is to Hazuki/Koguma. They just need one more point or any team below them getting another loss or draw to make it definite. Anyone except Inaba/Yagami can still finish 3rd but Kamitani/Konami and Nakano/Kurara have the advantage of two matches left against one for the others.
In the Blue Block, the only certainty is Anou/Natsupoi will advance if they win their final match. Watanabe/Thekla advance with either 2 wins or a win & draw in their last 2 or is Kid/Suzuki don’t win both their remaining matches-their matchup was a draw so them being tied would complicate things. Rina/Inaba hold third for now but they have only one match left. Mizumori/Sakura are not out only because they beat Rina/Inaba while Tsukiyama/Rian still have a chance because they have 3 matches left. Hina/C are out.

The latest event was earlier today, results will be posted when available. There was no live broadcast.

The next event is Saturday at Ishibashi Sports Center in Tochigi, which will also be a hometown event for the Stardom sisters-Hanan, Hina & Rina. Live streaming on Stardom World will begin Friday at 8 PM PT/11 PM ET.

UPDATE: As of 5:30 PM PT/8:30 PM ET this event is now available on demand on Stardom World. Also, the 11/17/24 HISTORIC X-OVER 2 PPV is now also available on demand on Stardom World for monthly paying subscribers.

Pro Wrestling NOAH 11/24/24 LIVE Results

Pro Wrestling NOAH runs another LIMIT BREAK ex. event today, a rare weekend matinee event continuing the series of house shows focused on crossover matches with wrestlers from other promotions. That’s the case in all of the matches today including the main event which is a title match as Go Shiozaki defends the ZERO1 World Heavyweight Championship, commonly just called World Heavyweight Championship, against Shuji Ishikawa.

Today’s event will be held at Shin-Kiba 1st Ring in Tokyo and can be watched LIVE on WRESTLE UNIVERSE. There will be no commentary. I don’t know what the time limits will be yet but nothing will probably be more than 30 minutes, and with just 6 matches I anticipate the event will run just over 2 hours.

Today’s lineup:
Daiki Odashima vs. Junya Matsunaga
The Reeve Mask vs. Black Menso-re
Kazuyuki Fujita, Shuhei Taniguchi & Yu Owada vs. Chris Weiss, Satsuki Nagao & Takuya Sugawara
