N-1 VICTORY Block B:
Match 7: OZAWA beat KENTA.

8-Kouga, 0-3, 0 pts
The winner advances to the Finals. The big surprises are at the bottom-did not expect KENTA to be 0-3 and almost out of it now, but also surprised by Kouga 0-3. It’s looking like Team 2000X’s to lose but still a ways to go and there is still a Kitamiya-OZAWA match at the end.

Day 6 is Sunday at Umeda Stellar Hall in Osaka with Block A. The event is now a legit advance sellout. Live streaming on WRESTLE UNIVERSE will begin Friday at 8 PM PT/11 PM ET, but could be a little earlier due to a pre-show match being listed. Right now it’s uncertain based on the UNIVERSE schedule.

Tokyo Joshi Pro 9/15/2026 Results

Tokyo Joshi Pro ran the 4th Hyper Misao Produced event today, which was primarily a theatrical performance with one match at the end.

Today’s event was held at Kitazawa Town Hall in Tokyo and can be watched on demand on WRESTLE UNIVERSE.

The announced paid attendance was 237, a legit sellout.

Everything below is summarized from loose translation.

The story began with Chika Nanase lost in a mysterious world as she tries to pick up Hyper Misao’s mask. Then Shino Suzuki & Kira Summer appeared and, able to speak only using a phone translation app, Summer’s character reveals they are at a shrine and the only way out is to find a Pro Wreatling God. The Journey Begins…

They soon meet the Gods, played by Rika Tatsumi & Yuki Kamifuku. Suzuki steps up to beat them and protect Nanase, but it’s revealed that if someone loses a match here, they will disappear.

Next up was a mysterious idol duo played by Raku & Ren Konatsu. Another challenge but Suzuki again prevails and protects Nanase.

They soon meet a delinquent group, their leader played by Toga along with Haru Kazashiro & Uta Takami. Toga mistakes Nanase for a romantic rival and a fight ensues. Then said object of affection appears-the delinquent’s grandmother, played by Mahiro Kiryu (who was able to appear despite being out due to a back injury). They reconcile and are sent on their way with the prized deathmatch weapon, the barbed wire bat.

Suddenly Summer turns on Suzuki and Nanase realizes the truth-Summer’s character is really Kira Summer herself! But she can’t hurt Nanase with the bat so they reconcile and vow to work together.

But then Suzuki is revived and reveals she was the goddess! Then her true identity was revealed, which was played by Mizuki. Nanase & Summer then defeated messengers Kazashiro & Takami, but in the end Nanase was defeated by Mizuki trying to protect Sunmer…

But the disappearance fear was a misunderstanding. Nanase was encouraged to express her true feelings and did, recalling her days growing up and joining TJPW. When it was all over, Nanase woke up and realized it was all just a dream. But then Hyper Misao appeared to announce the next event, and to present the strongest opponent for Nanase! Which led to…

Main Event: Miyu Yamashita beat Chika Nanase. The match went 11 1/2 minutes.

Afterwards Misao returned following the post-match promos and the story concluded.

Anyway…just go watch it!

The next event is 9/22 at Ryogoku KFC Hall to continue the fall house show tour. Live streaming on WRESTLE UNIVERSE will begin Monday at 8:30 PM PT/11:30 PM ET.
