Tokyo Joshi Pro Wrestling “TJPW Texas Stampede-Dallas” LIVE Results (3/21/2026)

After a couple days off for travel and fun exploring Texas, Tokyo Joshi Pro begins the second half of their first US tour today in the Dallas/Ft. Worth area with the third of 4 events. The final push to GRAND PRINCESS ’26 continues today, specifically the Princess Of Princess Championship match between Miu Watanabe & Yuki Arai, and with an extra development yesterday-it already was announced that whoever leaves 3/29 as champion will defend on 4/16 in Las Vegas, NV and the promotion announced who they will defend against…J-Rod. She failed to beat Watanabe for the title before, but who will she face this time?

There have been some last-minute changes to today’s card due to Jada Stone being pulled off the event. Flight delays. Not going to make it in time (I think we can perhaps blame the current government shutdown because it’s made delays in some areas horrible, especially Texas and Atlanta, GA). She was to have faced Rika Tatsumi. What was to have been Mizuki vs. Hyper Misao will now be a 3-way with Tatsumi as a result.

Today’s event will be held at College Park Center at the University of Texas in Arlington, TX and can be watched LIVE on WRESTLE UNIVERSE in English. There also is the prior caveat about potential streaming issues due to the servers being in Japan-at the first event it was rough for the first few minutes then no issues after that, I didn’t watch the second event but hopefully all will go well. With the lineup change there are now only 6 matches and they do seem to be keeping to the time limits but now this card will be a little shorter than planned with a running time of probably about 100 minutes. WIth 7 matches it likely would’ve been about 2 hours.

Today’s lineup (match order TBA):
Shino Suzuki vs. Mifu Ashida
Sakura Hattori vs. Uta Takumi
Mizuki vs. Hyper Misao & Rika Tatsumi in a 3-way
Suzume & Arisu Endo vs. Raku & Pom Harajuku
Yuki Kamifuku & Wakana Uehara vs. Yuki Aino & VertVixen
Miu Watanabe & Miyu Yamashita vs. Shoko Nakajima & Yuki Arai

Updates below will begin at 1 PM PT/4 PM ET. The live stream is scheduled to begin 10 minutes before the event.

12:50 PM PT UPDATE: The live stream has begun. We should be going to the venue in 5-10 minutes.

1 PM PT UPDATE: Waiting to go to the venue.

1:01 PM PT UPDATE: Live updates begin now.

We are LIVE from College Park Center at the University of Texas in Arlington, TX. Commentary will begin shortly.

The paid attendance will be announced after the event. The venue map suggests a capacity of around 2000 but the initial camera shots indicate it won’t be near a sellout today. This could wind up being the lowest number of the tour so far (which has been very successful btw) so from what I’ve seen I’ll make an initial prediction of around 1250. (Actually from seeing more early crowd shots it looks smaller so I’m revising it down to 1000) (UPDATE: The announced paid attendance was 1481. Typical late-arriving crowd)

Up Up Girls out first thing. Matches should begin in about 5 minutes.

The matches begin at 1:10 PM PT/4:10 PM ET. Your hosts are Rich Bocchini & Veda Scott.

Result: Yuki Kamifuku & Wakana Uehara beat Yuki Aino & VertVixen. Kamifuku pinned Aino after a middle-rope Fameasser.

No streaming issues today aside from starting a minute or two late. Another fun event despite losing one match due to Jada Stone not able to make it, not her fault though. Today was the final Arai-Watanabe face-off as Arai is scheduled to face Pom tomorrow.

The tour finale is tomorrow at Post Houston in Houston, TX. Live streaming on WRESTLE UNIVERSE in English will begin at 1 PM PT/4 PM ET.

DDT News: Late 3/22/2026 Card Change

DDT held the last press conference before their anniversary event Sunday earlier today, and there has been a last-minute card change. This is because GM Imabayasbi was attacked at the end, which led to…

Minoru Suzuki beat DDT Iron Man Heavymetalweight Champion GM Imabayashi by submission to win the title. Suzuki becomes the 1811th Champion.

So that means instead of Imabayashi defending the title in a 1 vs. 6 handicap match, it’s now Suzuki with Imabayashi now one of the 6. The winner is still to defend at Tokyo Joshi Pro’s 3/29 event, not to mention Antonio Honda planned to defend against New Japan wrestler Yoh on 4/15, but, as always with this title, Card(s) Subject To Change.

Dragon Gate News: The Gate Opened Too Far?

This is something I’ve noticed blowing up on the Japanese social media scene over the last day, an interesting announcement from Dragon Gate. Below is a loose English translation:

“Dear Relatives and Fans

We would like to express our sincere gratitude for your continued support of DRAGONGATE’s activities.

Now, we have learned that a former player of DRAGONGATE has sent out information containing a lot of untrue content, as if he had been involved in serious illegal acts in the past. Naturally, there is no fact that our company or its related parties were involved in such serious illegal acts, and we believe that such unfounded information was unilaterally carried out and is considered to be an unacceptable act.

We have already delegated the handling of this case to a lawyer, and we intend to consider strict measures for defamation and discredit acts such as this case, with a view to legal action. In addition, we will continue to position compliance as the most important item and will work on the development of DRAGONGATE. I sincerely ask that you do not easily trust or spread false information.

We sincerely apologize for causing you concern. We look forward to your continued support for DRAGONGATE’s activities.

March 16, 2026 DRGONGATE Co., Ltd”

The socials are speculating on two names in particular here-CIMA and Tokyo Magnum, both formerly of Dragon Gate. Translation of various social media reports (which are unofficial and not affiliated with the promotion suggest DG is considering legal action but this does not affect or involve anyone on the current roster. Anyway, pass the salt and let’s see what happens.

More as it becomes available. A link to the original announcement is below:

All-Japan News: Tag Champs US-Bound

All-Japan announced today that current All-Japan World Tag Team Champions Ren Ayabe & Talos are US-bound for NWA (National Wrestling Alliance, the Billy Corgan-owned one) participation in April. Ayabe & Talos will be part of the 40th Crockett Cup on 4/4 in Formey, TX. They probably will be announced by NWA later on. The NWA website indicates this will be a NWA POWERRR TV taping so the event, and Ayabe/Talos matches, should be available on demand FOR FREE on The Roku Channel in the US at a later date (a Roku device or TV IS NOT REQUIRED to watch The Rolu Channel, which is free with ads).

As a result of this, Ayabe & Talos are off the 4/3 event at Shin-Kiba 1st Ring in Tokyo but should be back in time for the Champions Carnival which starts on 4/12.
