In more good news for North American Tokyo Joshi Pro fans, the promotion has announced it will be returning to the US again in April for a WrestleMania week event on 4/16 at The Pearl at The Palms Casino Resort in Las Vegas, NV. 17 roster members have been announced as participating, basically all except Ren Konatsu, Shion Kanzaki, Kira Summer & Chika Nanase. Since Pom Harajuku is coming again I now eagerly await confirmation of Max The Impaler participating so we can go Viva Wasteland Pom Party!

The event will be an 11 AM PT/2 PM ET start time, since that’s the day I go back to work after spring vacation I won’t be able to watch live. Tickets on sale soon and broadcast plans TBA but I’m thinking it will be live on Triller/FITE with the Triller+ subscription package ($8/month) then on demand on WRESTLE UNIVERSE several weeks later. There also will be a meet & greet there on 4/17 which will be free to attend.

UPDATE: In other US news, it has been announced that all 4 Texas events in March will be broadcast LIVE on WRESTLE UNIVERSE. No PPVs. The event schedule is as follows:
3/17-5 PM PT/8 PM ET
3/18-4 PM PT/7 PM ET
3/21 & 3/22-1 PM PT/4 PM ET

Tokyo Joshi Pro headed to Okayama today for a Yuki Aino hometown event.

Today’s event was held at Okayama Future Hall in Okayama and will be available on demand on WRESTLE UNIVERSE Wednesday. There was no live broadcast.

The announced paid attendance was 297, a super full house/very near sellout.

There were late changes to the card due to Yuki Kamifuku being pulled off the event. The always-vague poor health.

Match 1: HIMAWARI beat Shion Kanzaki.

Match 2: Raku beat Ren Konatsu.

Match 3: Wakana Uheara beat Chika Nanase.

Match 4: Sarah Phoenix beat Pom Harajuku.

Main Event: Shoko Nakajima, Yuki AIno & Haru Kazashiro beat Mizuki, Arisu Endo & Uta Takami. Aino pinned Takami after UBV.

The next event is Saturday at Kariya City Industrial Promotion Center in Aichi. There will be no live broadcast. On demand on 3/3.

In other news, based on a social media post it appears Miyu Yamashita & Kaya Toribami lost the SETUP All-Asia Tag Team Championship today in Thailand. I don’t yet know to who. A bummer for them but it was nice while it lasted, especially for Toribami because this was her first career championship.

Tokyo Joshi Pro is in Kobe today for what is being billed as possibly their last show at today’s venue (only the venue, which reportedly may be either shutting down or not holding wrestling events anymore).

Today’s event will be held at Kobe Art Center in Kobe and will be available on demand on WRESTLE UNIVERSE Tuesday. There will be no live broadcast, however there are TENTATIVE plans to stream the main event and perhaps other matches using the UNIVERSE CAST feature that is part of WRESTLE UNIVERSE. That will be a last-minute decision so this is a tentative placeholder if that happens. If not, full results will be posted when they become available.

The event is scheduled to begin at 7:30 PM PT/10:30 PM ET so hopefully we’ll know plans by then. The main event likely will be Miu Watanabe & Shino Suzuki vs. Mizuki & Uta Takami as this seems to be a Mizuki-centric event. Miyu Yamashita & Kaya Toribami are off this event due to an excursion to Thailand. They will also miss Sunday’s event as a result.

UPDATE (Pre-show): There are now last-second changes to the card due to Yuki Kamifuku being pulled off the event. The always-vague poor health. Also out Sunday. She was to have teamed with Wakana Uehara to face Yuki Aino & Kira Summer. It’s now Uehara-Summer and what was Rika Tatsumi vs. Pom Harajuku & Mahiro Kiryu in a 3-way is now Tatsumi & Kiryu vs. Aino & Harajuku. For Sunday she was to have faced Shion Kanzaki. Changes TBA.

7:30 PM PT UPDATE: Waiting for streaming updates from TJPW.

It appears they didn’t do Universe Cast so we’ll have to wait for Tuesday for video. Here are the results:

The announced paid attendance was 273.

Match 1: Haru Kazashiro beat Shion Kanzaki.

Match 2: Wakana Uehara beat Kira Summer.

Match 3: Yuki Aino & Pom Harajuku beat Rika Tatsumi & Mahiro Kiryu. Aino pinned Kiryu after Venus DDT.

Match 4: Aja Kong (OZ Academy), Raku & Ren Konatsu beat Hyper Misao, Mifu Ashida & Sarah Phoenix. Kong pinned Ashida after a jumping elbow drop. Kong retains the DDT Iron Man Heavymetalweight Championship as far as I know.

Match 5: Yuki Arai & HIMAWARI beat Shoko Nakajima & Chika Nanase. Arai pinned Nanase after a deformed brainbuster.

Match 6: Suzume & Arisu Endo beat MIRAI (Michinoku Pro) & Toga. Suzume pinned Toga after Ring A Bell.

Main Event: Mizuki & Uta Takami beat Miu Watanabe & Shino Suzuki. Mizuki pinned Suzuki with Cutie Special.

The next event is tomorrow at Okayama Future Hall in Okayama for a Yuki Aino hometown event. There will be no live broadcast. On demand Wednesday.

UPDATE 2: Unexpected post-event backstage development!
Rika Tatsumi beat DDT Iron Man Heavymetalweight Champion Aja Kong to win the title. Tatsumi becomes the 1806th Champion. Please keep Kiryu far way from her…

In their latest major announcement for GRAND PRINCESS ’26 on 3/29, Tokyo Joshi Pro just announced they will unveil new title belt designs for each of the promotion’s 3 championships (Princess Of Princess, International Princess, Princess Tag Team) at the event. They didn’t drop any other hints beyond that so it’s otherwise wait and see.

If you watched Tokyo Joshi Pro’s live event last weekend maybe you were thinking they would drop hints as to who would face Princess Tag Team Champions Yuki Kamifuku & Wakana Uehara at GRAND PRINCESS ‘26 on 3/29, namely Miyu Yamashita & Kaya Toribami. Well we now know and…my thinking was wrong. The challengers will be Cassie Lee & Jessie McKay, fka The Iinspiration in TNA and indies and The Iiconics in WWE which is where I first saw (and liked) McKay as Billie Kay (Lee was fka Peyton Royce). Lee took time off the last couple years to have a baby and recently they have been back in action in the US and they will mow face Ober Eats for the titles in a big surprise.

With the Max Heart Tournament now in the books for this year, Tokyo Joshi Pro runs a sort of fallout-themed event today in Tokyo which features a couple of matches we didn’t get in the tournament due to how it played out among others. There are 2 tag matches and 2 8-woman tag matches with the participants, which may or may not offer clues as to who Princess Tag Team Champions and tournament winners Yuki Kamifuku & Wakana Uehara may defend the titles against at GRAND PRINCESS ’26. If the matches today are any indication there won’t be much settled (although there are three teams we can rule out due to other title matches and thus two big name teams…but I have an idea who will be next though). At least it’s one more chance for Wasteland Pom Party before Max The Impaler returns to the US for now ahead of a starring role in a major movie coming in a couple weeks but they will be back for 3/29.
And for those wondering…no, Mahiro Kiryu did not find a way to win the DDT Iron Man Heavymetalweight Championship back from Aja Kong yesterday. She tried post-event though but failed.

Today’s event will be held at Club eX in Shinagawa Prince Hotel in Tokyo and can be watched LIVE on WRESTLE UNIVERSE. There will be no commentary. There are 6 matches today and with no title matches this will be on the short side for a house show with a running time of around 1 3/4 hours but no more than about 2 hours.

Today’s lineup (match order TBA):
Toga vs. Shion Kanzaki
Mahiro Kiryu vs. Sarah Phoenix
Yuki Kamifuku, Wakana Uehara, Miyu Yamashita & Kaya Toribami vs. Shoko Nakajima, Hyper Misao, Raku & Ren Konatsu
Mizuki, Uta Takami, HIMAWARI & Shino Suzuki vs. Yuki Arai, Mifu Ashida, Kira Summer & Chika Nanase
Miu Watanabe & Rika Tatsumi vs. Yuki Aino & Haru Kazashiro
Max The Impaler & Pom Harajuku vs. Suzume & Arisu Endo

Updates below will begin at 6:30 PM PT/9:30 PM ET. The live stream is scheduled to begin 10 minutes before the event.

6:20 PM PT UPDATE: The live stream has begun. We should be going to the venue in just under 10 minutes.

6:28 PM PT UPDATE: Live updates begin now.

We are LIVE from Club eX in Shinagawa Prince Hotel in Tokyo, Japan. There is no commentary.

The paid attendance will be announced after the event. Advance ticket sales seemed good so it may depend partly on same-day sales for the final number, but my initial guess will be 300. The setup is probably for around 350. (UPDATE: The announced paid attendance was 285, a full house/near sellout)

The matches should begin in 10-15 minutes.

The matches begin at 6:43 PM PT/9:43 PM ET.

Result: Yuki Kamifuku, Wakana Uehara, Miyu Yamashita & Kaya Toribami beat Shoko Nakajima, Hyper Misao, Raku & Ren Konatsu. Kamifuku beat Konatsu. Afterwards, no real clue about the next challengers for the Princess Tag Team Champions unless it’s Yamashita & Toribami. But I didn’t get those vibes yet.

The next event is 2/21 at Kobe Art Center in Kobe for what could be the promotion’s final event in the venue. There will be no live broadcast. On demand on 2/24.

Tokyo Joshi Pro runs their monthly mid-major Tokyo event today, finishing up the Max Heart Tournament with the Finals. It could be a preview of GRAND PRINCESS ‘26 as Princess Tag Team Champions Yuki Kamifuku & Wakana Uehara face Mizuki & Uta Takami. While a non-title match, a Mizuki/Takami win likely means a rematch for the titles. Before that is an International Princess Championship match as MIRAI returns to defend the title against Toga (who celebrated a birthday recently and shocked us by revealing she’s…only 22?!? She looks so much older!). And there’s also a DDT Iron Man Heavymetalweight Championship match as, if all goes as planned, Mahiro Kiryu will get squashed by Aja Kong and end this hilarious debacle. But as always, this comes with the “subject to change” disclaimer as we saw on Wednesday.

Today’s event will be held at Korakuen Hall in Tokyo and can be watched LIVE on WRESTLE UNIVERSE and ABEMA (paid add-on required) in Japanese and English. Maya Sugawara will be a special guest on commentary You will also be able to watch the full live broadcast FOR FREE on YouTube (live stream only, no archive/on demand on YouTube). With the usual post-event party planned the promotion already announced the event’s running time is expected to be 2 1/2 hours so no speculation needed.

Today’s lineup:
Ren Konatsu vs. Shion Kanzaki
Miyu Yamashita, Kaya Toribami, HIMAWARI & Shino Suzuki vs. Hyper Misao, Kaeru Sekiguchi, Kira Summer & Chika Nanase
Max The Impaler, Pom Harajuku & Raku vs. Ryo Mizunami, Yuki Aino & Haru Kazashiro
DDT Iron Man Heavymetalweight Champion Mahiro Kiryu vs. Aja Kong for the title (subject to change)
Shoko Nakajima & Sarah Phoenix vs. Suzume & Arisu Endo
Miu Watanabe & Rika Tatsumi vs. Yuki Arai & Mifu Ashida
International Princess Champion MIRAI vs. Toga for the title
Max Heart Tournament Finals: Yuki Kamifuku & Wakana Uehara vs. Mizuki & Uta Takami

Updates below will begin at 6:30 PM PT/9:30 PM ET. The UNIVERSE live stream, which I will be watching, is scheduled to begin 20 minutes before the event. The YouTube live stream is scheduled to begin 15 minutes before the event.

6:10 PM PT UPDATE: The UNIVERSE live stream has begun. The YouTube broadcast is scheduled to begin in 5 minutes.

6:15 PM PT UPDATE: The YouTube broadcast has begun, remember it’s live only-no archive/on demand replay. We should be going to the venue in the next 5 minutes.

6:20 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 & special guest Maya Sugawara, a former member of SKE48. Your English host is Mr. Haku, to possibly be joined later on by Kira Summer.

The paid attendance will be announced after the event. It’s the reduced capacity setup with only 1/3 of the north side bleachers in use and advance ticket sales seemed about average so it’ll be on the lower average side. I’ll predict around 650. (UPDATE: The announced paid attendance was 732)

The matches should begin in 20-25 minutes. Opening announcements start about 6 minutes before start time.

The matches begin at 6:38 PM PT/9:38 PM ET. And today we have STREAMERS!!!

Match 1: Ren Konatsu vs. Shion Kanzaki. 15 minute time limit
Result: Ren Konatsu beat Shion Kanzaki. First single win for Konatsu! (I think) Came after a nice springboard dropkick off the middle/top rope.

Match 2: Miyu Yamashita, Kaya Toribami, HIMAWARI & Shino Suzuki vs. Hyper Misao, Kakeru Sekiguchi (Independent/Freelancer), Kira Summer & Chika Nanase. 20 minute time limit

Match 7: International Princess Champion MIRAI (Michinoku Pro) vs. Toga for the title. 30 minute time limit
Result: International Princess Champion MIRAI beat Toga to retain the title. V1 for MIRAI. Oh well, so much for the hoped-for Toga party. Next up: MIRAI wants and calls out…Suzume. That match, if all goes as desired, will happen at GRAND PRINCESS ’26 on 3/29 at Ryogoku Kokugikan.

Main Event: Max Heart Tournament Finals: Yuki Kamifuku & Wakana Uehara vs. Mizuki & Uta Takami. No time limit
Result: Yuki Kamifuku & Wakana Uehara beat Mizuki & Uta Takami to win the tournament. Uehara pinned Takami. As a result, who knows what this means for Ober Eats at GRAND PRINCESS ’26 but probably not a rematch. They’ll defend the titles on 3/29 but for now it’s against the famed duo of TBA and TBA.

The next event is tomorrow at Club eX in Shinagawa Prince Hotel. Live streaming on WRESTLE UNIVERSE will begin at 6:30 PM PT/9:30 PM ET.

UPDATE: It’s now official-MIRAI vs. Suzume for the International Princess Championship will happen on 3/29.

Tokyo Joshi Pro made their first visit this year to Niigata today for a Shoko Nakajima hometown event.

Today’s event was held at Duo Cerezo in Niigata and will be available on demand on WRESTLE UNIVERSE tomorrow or, for those not in the western US, early Friday morning. There was no live broadcast.

The announced paid attendance was 215.

Before the event began, GRAND PRINCESS ‘26 PR Ambassador Super Sasadango Machine appeared for his latest update. It didn’t end well for Representative President Tetsuya Koda who apparently did not meet progress goals.

Match 1: Arisu Endo beat Shion Kanzaki by submission.

Match 2: Suzume beat Mifu Ashida.

Match 3: Miyu Yanashita beat Raku & DDT Iron Man Heavymetalweight Champion Mahiro Kiryu in a 3-way by pinning Kiryu to win the title. Yamashita becomes the 1801st Champion.

Match 4: Max The Inpaler & Pom Harajuku beat Hyper Misao & Chika Nanase. Max pinned Nanase after a short range lariat.

Match 5: Miu Watanabe & Rika Tatsumi beat Sarah Phoenix & Kira Summer. Tatsumi pinned Summer after Twist Of Fate. Afterwards, Machine returned to the ring with more PR stuff for Tatsumi.

Match 6: Mizuki, Shino Suzuki & Uta Takami beat Yuki Kamifuki, Wakana Uehara & Ren Konatsu. Takami beat Konatsu with Koala Clutch.

Main Event: Shoko Nakajima, Yuki Aino & Haru Kazashiro beat Yuki Arai, HIMAWARI & Toga. Nakajima pinned HIMAWARI after a diving senton.

The next event is Saturday at Korakuen Hall in Tokyo. Live streaming on WRESTLE UNIVERSE will begin Friday at 6:30 PM PT/9:30 PM ET.

UPDATE: BREAKING-You will also be able to watch Saturday’s entire event LIVE on YouTube FOR FREE!

UPDATE 2: I guess they don’t want to change Saturday because at some point after the event, namely at a fan gathering event…

Rise Shirai beat DDT Iron Man HeVymetalweight Champion Miyu Yamashita to win the title. Shirai becomes the 1802nd Champion. Which led to…

A Stopwatxh beat DDT Iron Man Heavymetalweight Champion Rose Shirai to win the title. Stopwatch becomes the 1803rd Champion. Which led to…

Mahiro Kiryu beat DDT Iron Man Heavymetalweight Champion Miyu Yanashita to win the title. Kiryu becomes the 1804th Champion. And Saturday’s defense against Aja Kong is back on for now. Pro Wrestling Everybody!

Tokyo Joshi Pro continues the Max Heart Tournament today with the Semifinals. At this point it’s down to 3 heavy favorites left…and much to my dismay, Mizuki. One Semifinal has Mizuki & Uta Takami against Suzune & Arisu Endo, always favorites in the tournament. The other Semifinal has Yuki Kamifuku & Wakana Uehara vs. Max The Impaler & Pom Harajuku. Ober Eats are the Princess Tag Team Champions so if they lose they will likely be defending the titles at GRAND PRINCESS ‘26 against the eventual winners…which of course I hope is Wasteland Pom Party after a Finals loss last year.

There have been last-minute changes to the card since yesterday, mainly because Kaya Toribami is now off. Leg injury. Currently expected to be out 2 weeks. She was to have been in a 6-woman tag match. Raku replaces her and the match was reshuffled as a result, and because Raku was pulled from a 3-way against Hyoer Misao & Shino Suzuki that is now a single match. Also, before the event begins there will be a contract signing for the International Princess Championship match on 2/14 between MIRAI & Toga.

Today’s event will be held at Shinjuku Face in Tokyo and can be watched LIVE on WRESTLE UNIVERSE and ABEMA. There will be no commentary. The signing ceremony is scheduled for 10 minutes before the event so that will make this a slightly longer event than.normal, I’m thinking close to 2 1/2 hours.

Today’s lineup (match order TBA):
Pre-show: 2/14 International Princess Championship Public Contract Signing (MIRAI & Toga)
Hyper Misao vs. Shino Suzuki
HIMAWARI vs. Shion Kanzaki
Shoko Nakajima, Yuki Aino & Haru Kazashiro vs. Yuki Arai, Mifu Ashida & Kira Summer
Miu Watanabe, Rika Tatsumi & Mahiro Kiryu* vs. Miyu Yamashita, Raku & Ren Konatsu
MIRAI & Sarah Phoenix vs. Toga & Chika Nanase
Max Heart Tournament Semifinals:
Max The Inpaler & Pom Harajuku vs. Yuki Kamifuku & Wakana Uehara
Suzune & Arisu Endo vs. Mizuki & Uta Takami
*-This once again comes with the disclaimer about the DDT Iron Man Heavymetalweight Championship because Kiryu is still champion so she can lose the title if anyone pins or submits her. Even a teammate, and now that Tatsumi is on her team…

Updates below will begin at 5:50 PM PT/8:50 PM ET. The live stream is scheduled to begin at 5:40 PM PT/8:40 PM ET. The matches should begin around 6:10 PM PT/9:10 PM ET.

5:40 PM PT UPDATE: The live stream has begun. We should be going to the venue in 10 minutes.

5:50 PM PT UPDATE: Live update begin now.

We are LIVE from Shinjuku Face in Tokyo, Japan. There is no commentary.

The paid attendance will be announced after the event. Advance sales were a bit weaker this time and there is a lot happening in the area today (Stardom and in particular sumo with a major event) so it might keep the numbers down today. It will depend on same-day sales but I’ll guess low and say 250. (UPDATE: The announced paid attendance was 282)

The contract signing for the 2/14 International Princess Championship match between MIRAI & Toga starts things off early. The matches should begin in 20-25 minutes. Relatively civil ceremony.

The opening announcements follow this, a couple minutes ahead of schedule. The charity fundraising efforts for Shinjiro Otani and his medical expenses have expanded to include support for fellow legend Yoshihiro Takayama. They finish with an announcement with that I’m guessing are upcoming hometown events for Mifu Ashida, Suzume & Miyu Yamashita. Updates to follow. (Update-That is the case. Ashida first on 4/4 at Fukuchiyama City Sandanike Park General Gymnasium in Kyoto. Yamashita second on 4/5 at Acros Fukuoka in Fukuoka. Suzume last on 5/6 at Tsukuba International Congress Hall Multipurpose Hall in Ibaraki)

The matches begin at 6:15 PM PT/9:15 PM ET.

Match 1: HIMAWARI vs. Shion Kanzaki. 15 minute time limit
Result: HIMAWARI beat Shion Kanzaki by submission

Match 2: Hyper Misao vs. Shino Suzuki. 15 minute time limit
Result: Hyper Misao beat Shino Suzuki

Match 3: Shoko Nakajima, Yuki Aino & Haru Kazashiro vs. Yuki Arai, Mifu Ashida & Kira Summer. 20 minute time limit
Result: Shoko Nakajima, Yuki AIno & Haru Kazashiro beat Yuki Arai, Mifu Ashida & Kira Summer. Nakajims pinned Summer with a Northern Lights suplex hold.

Match 4: Miu Watanabe, Rika Tatsumi & Mahiro Kiryu vs. Miyu Yamashita, Raku & Ren Konatsu. 20 minute time limit. Before the match began (and afte rKiryu stalling on her entrance) Tatsumi tried and failed to win the DDT Iron Man Heavymetalweight Championship from Kiryu.
Result: Miu Watanabe, Rika Tatsumi & Mahiro Kiryu beat Miyu Yamashita, Raku & Ren Konatsu. Tatsumi pinned Konatsu after Twist OF Fate. And of course sent Kiryu scrambling to get away from another Iron Man title attempt.

Match 5: MIRAI (Michinoku Pro) & Sarah Phoenix (from Chile for those curious) vs. Toga & Chika Nanase. 20 minute time limit
Result: MIRAI & Sarah Phoenix beat Toga & Chika Nanase. MIRAI beat Nanase with an armbar/toehold combo.

Match 6: Max Heart Tournament Semifinals: Suzune & Arisu Endo vs. Mizuki & Uta Takami. No time limit
Result: Mizuki & Uta Takami beat Suzume & Arisu Endo. Mizuki pinned Endo with Cutie Special. As a result, Mizuki & Takami advance to the Finals. Not happy happy…

Main Event: Max Heart Tournament Semifinals: Max The Inpaler & Pom Harajuku vs. Yuki Kamifuku & Wakana Uehara. No time limit
Result: Yuki Kamifuku & Wakana Uehara beat Max The Impaler & Pom Harajuku. Kamifuku pinned Harajuku after a middle-turnbuckle Fameasser. As a result, Kamifuku & Uehara advance to the Finals and will face Mizuki & Takami. That match will happen on 2/14 at Korakuen Hall. Not the Finals I was hoping for.

The next event is “Shoko Quest 4”, a Shoko Nakajima hometown event, on 2/11 at Duo Cerezo in Niigata. There will be no live broadcast. On demand on 2/12.
