Tokyo Joshi Pro finished up their fall house show tour today in Tokyo.

Today’s event was held at Shinjuku Face in Tokyo and can be watched on demand on WRESTLE UNIVERSE. It was also a free live broadcast on YouTube (no on demand there).

The announced paid attendance was 277.

Match 1: Mahiro Kiryu beat Chika Nanase.

Match 2: Hyper Misao & Kaya Toribami beat Raku & Ren Konatsu. Misao beat Konatsu with a chicken wing.

Match 3: Rika Tatsumi beat Pom Harajuku by submission. Tatsumi retains the DDT Iron Man Heavymetalweight Championship.

Match 4: J-Rod beat Kira Summer.

Match 5: Mizuki & Suzume beat Yuki Arai & Midu Ashida. Suzume pinned Ashida after Ring A Bell.

Match 6: Shoko Nakajima, Miyu Yamashita & Toga beat Miu Watanabe, Yuki Aino & Haru Kazashiro. Nakajima pinned Kazashiro with a Northern Lights usplex hold. J-Rod watched this match from the announcer’s table.

Main Event: Yuki Kamifuku, Wakana Uehara & Arisu Endo beat HIMAWARI, Shino Suzuki & Uta Takami. Kamifuku pinned Suzuki after Fameasser.

The next event is “ALL RISE ’25” on 11/9 at Korakuen Hall. Live streaming on WRESTLE UNIVERSE will begin on 11/8 at 6:30 PM PT/9:30 PM ET.

In other news, the schedule for the 6th Max Heart Tournament, a winter singles tournament, was announced earlier this week. Matches will be held on 1/17, 1/25, 1/31 and 2/14. Further details TBA but it normally is a single-elimination tournament.

Tokyo Joshi Pro continues their fall house show tour today in Tokyo, highlighted by the end of the NexGene ’25 Tournament. The winner will get a title shot of their choice, and being a double-elimination tournament makes for a unique final as Uta Takami faces Chika Nanase. If Takami wins she wins the tournament but if Nanase wins that’s only one loss so far for Takami so that would mean an immediate rematch and Nanase must beat Takami twice in a row to win.

It has been announced that Shoko Nakajima is off this event due to having completed in Mexico yesterday. (On another side note, today-yesterday Japan time-is Yuki Aino’s birthday, she turned 31) Also, after a successful defense earlier in the week it appears Mahiro Kiryu is still the DDT Iron Man Heavymetalweight Champion, so you never know what will happen there. If so, if she loses in her match and gets pinned/submitted whoever beat her becomes champion.

Today’s event will be held at Ryogoku KFC Hall in Tokyo and can be watched LIVE on WRESTLE UNIVERSE. There will be no commentary. Outside of the tournament final it’s otherwise a standard house show and should have a standard running time of about 2 hours. Also, due to simulcasting a Pro Wrestling NOAH event shortly after this event begins some results may be delayed slightly.

Today’s lineup (match order TBA):
Miu Watanabe & Yuki Aino vs. Yuki Arai & Mifu Ashida
Yuki Kamifuku, Wakana Uehara & Kira Summer vs. HIMAWARI, Shino Suzuki & Haru Kazashiro
Miyu Yamashita & Kaya Toribami vs. Suzume & Pom Harajuku
Rika Tatsumi & Mahiro Kiryu vs. Hyper Misao & Raku
Mizuki vs. Toga
Arisu Endo vs. Ren Konatsu
NexGene Tournament Finals: Uta Takami vs. Chika Nanase. If Nanase wins there will be an immediate rematch due to being a double-elimination format (Takami has no losses, Nanase has one)

Updates below will begin at 8:30 PM PT/11:30 PM ET. The live stream is scheduled to begin 15 minutes before the event.

8:15 PM PT UPDATE: The live stream has begun. We should be going to the venue in 10-15 minutes.

8:28 PM PT UPDATE: Live updates begin now.

We are LIVE from Ryogoku KFC Hall in Tokyo, Japan. There is no commentary.

The paid attendance will be announced after the event. The setup appeared to be for around 350 (full capacity for the venue is roughly 500) but they have a lot going against them today-baseball (although World Series Game 2 featuring Shohei Ohtani is now over), other events and in particular a Marigold event coming up in a couple hours (also on WRESTLE UNIVERSE as a PPV). I’m guessing a little on the low side here and predicting it’ll be a crowd of about 200. (UPDATE: The announced paid attendance was 282)

The matches should begin in about 10 minutes.

The matches begin at 8:40 PM PT/11:40 PM ET. Tournament Final will be match 5 today.

Match 1: Arisu Endo vs. Ren Konatsu. 15 minute time limit
Result: Arisu Endo beat Ren Konatsu by submission

Match 2: Rika Tatsumi & Mahiro Kiryu vs. Hyper Misao & Raku. 20 minute time limit
Result: Hyper Misao & Raku beat Rika Tatsumi & Mahiro Kiryu. Raku pinned Kiryu.
During the match this happened…
RIka Tatsumi beat DDT Iron Man Heavymetalweight Champion Mahiro Kiryu to win the title. Tatsumi becomes the 1779th Champion, I missed that spot.

Match 3: Miyu Yamashita & Kaya Toribami vs. Suzume & Pom Harajuku. 20 minute time limit
Result: Miyu Yamashita & Kaya Toribami beat Suzume & Pom Harajuku. Yamashita pinned Harajuku after Attitude Adjustment.

Match 4: Mizuki vs. Toga. 15 minute time limit
Result: Mizuki beat Toga

Match 5: NexGene ’25 Tournament Finals: Uta Takami vs. Chika Nanase. If Nanase wins there will be an immediate rematch due to being a double-elimination format. No time limit
Result: Chika Nanase beat Uta Takami. Which led to…
Immediate Rematch: Uta Takami vs. Chika Nanase. No time limit
Result: Uta Takami beat Chika Nanase by submission to win the tournament. As a result, Takami gets a TJPW title shot of her choice. And it looks like she’s made her choice…International Princess Championship as she called out Endo. That match likely will happen on 11/9 at Korakuen Hall. (UPDATE: It’s now official)

Match 6: Miu Watanabe & Yuki Aino vs. Yuki Arai & Mifu Ashida. 20 minute time limit
Result: Miu Watanabe & Yuki Aino beat Yuki Arai & Mifu Ashida. Aino beat Ashida with Full Nelson Of Love & Flame.

Main Event: Yuki Kamifuku, Wakana Uehara & Kira Summer vs. HIMAWARI, Shino Suzuki & Haru Kazashiro. 20 minute time limit
Result: HIMAWARI, Shino Suzuki & Haru Kazashiro beat Yuki Kamifuku, Wakana Uehara & Kira Summer. HIMAWARI pinned Summer.

The next event is 11/1 at Shinjuku Face. Live streaming on WRESTLE UNIVERSE will begin at 2 AM PT/5 AM ET.

UPDATE 2: If Tatsumi is still Iron Man Champion at that time, she will defend the title on 11/1 vs. Pom Harajuku. As always with the title and it’s 24/7 nature, emphasis on “If” and this comes with the “subject to change” disclaimer.

Tokyo Joshi Pro continued their fall house show tour today in Gunma.

Today’s event was held at G Messe Gunma in Gunma and will be available on demand on WRESTLE UNIVERSE Wednesday. There was no live broadcast.

The announced paid attendance was 258, a super full house/very near sellout.

There were last-minute changes to the card because Arisu Endo & Alice Crowley, who were in different matches on the original card, wanted to team up after their International Princess Championship match yesterday. The card was shuffled as a result.

Match 1: Toga beat Ren Konatsu by submission.

Match 2: NexGene Tournament: Chika Nanase beat Kira Summer. As a result, Nanase advances to the Finals against Uta Takami. Because it’s double-elimination format, Nanase may have to beat Takami twice to win the tournament while Takami only has to beat Nanase once. The winner gets a TJPW title shot of their choice. That match will happen on 10/26 at Ryogoku KFC Hall in Tokyo.

Match 3: Miu Watanabe beat Mifu Ashida by submission.

Match 4: Shoko Nakajima & Hyper Misao beat Yuki Aino & Raku. Nakajima pinned Raku after a diving senton.

Match 5: Yuki Kamifuku, Wakana Uehara & Kaya Toribami beat Yuki Arai, Shino Suzuki & Uta Takami. Toribami pinned Takami.

Match 6: Arisu Endo & Alice Crowley beat Mizuki & Haru Kazashiro. Endo pinned Kazashiro after The 10th Law.

Main Event: Mahiro Kiryu & Suzume beat Miyu Yamashita & Pom Harajuku. Kiryu pinned Harajuku after a spinebuster and, for now, retained the DDT Iron Man Heavymetalweight Championship.

The next event is 10/26 at Ryogoku KFC Hall in Tokyo. Live streaming on WRESTLE UNIVERSE will begin Saturday at 8:30 PM PT/11:30 PM ET.

Tokyo Joshi Pro runs their next major event, Additional Attack ’25, today in Tokyo. It’s another blowout event with all 3 titles in the line headlined by Miu Watanabe defending the Princess Of Princess Championsihp against Yuki Aino, who steps up for her first shot at the top title. In the other title matches, Yuki Kamifuku & Wakana Uehara defend the Princess Tag Team Championship against the relatively new team of Yuna Manase & Toga while Arisu Endo defends the International Princess Championship against the latest international challenger, Alice Crowley. Farther down the card are a trio of “Level Up Trials” where some of the younger talent on the roster take on veterans.

The promotion has announced that both Rika Tatsumi & HIMAWARI are off this event due to an excursion to China. That’ll take some early post-title match build out of the event because HIMAWARI is next for whoever is the Princess Tag Team Champions after today along with Shino Suzuki.

Today’s event will be held at Korakuen Hall in Tokyo and can be watched LIVE on WRESTLE UNIVERSE in Japanese and English. Actress Mio Matsuda will be a guest on Japanese commentary. Kira Summer will be on English commentary after her match. And we will have STREAMERS! This is a major event with 9 matches scheduled with no intermission so it will run longer than a normal Korakuen event, probably going around 3 hours.

Today’s lineup:
Mifu Ashida & Ren Konatsu vs. Kira Summer & Chika Nanase
Raku vs. Pom Harajuku, Mahiro Kiryu, Suzume & Kaya Toribami in a 5-way. This will be for the DDT Iron Man Heavymetalweight Championshp as apparently there were 2 title changes since the last event, when it ended with Rise Shirai’s Binder as the champion and Kiryu was the most recent as she is now the 1778th Champion. As always, subject to change
Miyu Yamashita vs. Shino Suzuki
Shoko Nakajima vs. Uta Takami
Mizuki vs. Haru Kazashiro
Yuki Arai vs. Hyper Misao
International Princess Champion Arisu Endo vs. Alice Crowley for the title
Princess Tag Team Champions Yuki Kamifuku & Wakana Uehara vs. Yuna Manase & Toga for the titles
Princess Of Princess Champion Miu Watanabe vs. Yuki Aino for the title

Updates below will begin at 7:30 PM PT/10:30 PM ET. The live stream is scheduled to begin 20 minutes before the event.

6:45 PM PT UPDATE: The live stream beginning has been moved up 5 minutes and will now begin at 7:05 PM PT/10:05 PM ET. TJPW’s social media accounts hint at going to the venue around 15 minutes before the event begins.

7:05 PM PT UPDATE: The live stream has begun. We should be going to the venue in about 10 minutes.

7:15 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 Mio Matsuda. Your English host is Mr. Haku, who will be joined later by Kira Summer.

The paid attendance will be announced after the event. It’s the old pandemic reduced capacity setup today with 2/3 of the opposite-hard-camera bleachers blocked off for commentary with advance ticket sales that seemed to be about average, so I’m going with my “standard” Korakuen prediction of around 700. With this setup a sellout, if it happened, would be around 1100. (UPDATE: The announced paid attendance was 719)

The matches should begin in about 30 minutes. Opening announcements begin at 7:20 PM PT/`10:20 PM ET.

The matches begin at 7:33 PM PT/10:33 PM ET.

Match 1: Mifu Ashida & Ren Konatsu vs. Kira Summer & Chika Nanase. 20 minute time limit
Result: Kira Summer & Chika Nanase beat Mifu Ashida & Ren Konatsu. Summer pinned Konatsu after a Samoan drop. Summer will join English commentary shortly.

Match 2: DDT Iron Man Heavymetalweight Champion Mahiro Kiryu vs. Raku, Pom Harajuku, Suzume & Kaya Toribami in a 5-way for the title. 20 minute time limit
Result: DDT Iron Man Heavymetalweight Champion Mahiro Kiryu beat Raku, Pom Harajuku, Suzume & Kaya Toribami in a 5-way by pinning Harajuku to retain the title. But Raku was hot on her heels afterwards and remember it’s a 24/7 title as long as a referee is present so…

Match 3: Miyu Yamashita vs. Shino Suzuki. 15 minute time limit
Result: Miyu Yamashita beat Shino Suzuki

Match 4: Shoko Nakajima vs. Uta Takami. 15 minute time limit
Result: Shoko Nakajima beat Uta Takami

Match 5: Mizuki vs. Haru Kazashiro. 15 minute time limit (Mizuki came out with a completely new look, trading her signature white outfit for a more goth look with black, white/silver and pink, almost could be mistaken for Rika Tatsumi at first)
Result: Mizuki beat Haru Kazashiro

In news that will have Miu Watanabe squealing uncontrollably as she is a superfan of them, J-Pop girl group Ocha Norma is announced for appearing at the Korakuen event on 12/7.

Match 6: Yuki Arai vs. Hyper Misao. 15 minute time limit. They made last-second changes to the rules including 2 count pinfalls, after which is a trivia question. So in essence they made it a comedy match.
Result: Yuki Arai beat Hyper Misao. Doesn’t matter what the match was now because Arai wins and I’m happy.

Match 7: International Princess Champion Arisu Endo vs. Alice Crowley for the title. 30 minute time limit
Result: International Princess Champion Arisu Endo beat Alice Crowley to retain the title. V1 for Endo.

Match 8: Princess Tag Team Champions Yuki Kamifuku & Wakana Uehara vs. Yuna Manase (Ganabre Pro) & Toga for the titles. 30 minute time limit
Result: Princess Tag Team Champions Yuki Kamifuku & Wakana Uehara beat Yuna Manase & Toga to retain the titles. Uehara pinned Toga after Tornado. V1 for the champs. Next up: As previously announced, HIMAWARI (not at today’s event) & Shino Suzuki. That match will happen on 11/9.

Main Event: Princess Of Princess Champion Miu Watanabe vs. Yuki Aino for the title. 30 minute time limit
Result: Princess Of Princess Champion Miu Watanabe beat Yuki Aino to retain the title. V1 for Watanabe. A valiant effort by Aino in her first PoP title shot, and hopefully not her last. I still believe she will be champion someday. Next up: J-Rod, the latest US and potential/former WWE wrestler TJPW is bringing over. That match will happen on 11/9.

The next event is tomorrow at G Messe Gunma in Gunma. There will be no live broadcast. On demand Wednesday.

UPDATE: There have been last-minute changes to tomorrow’s event because after their match today, Endo & Crowley, who were in separate matches on tomorrow’s event, requested to team up. Endo was supposed to team with Shino Suzuki to face Mizuki & Haru Kazashiro, while Crowley was to have teamed with Yuki Arai & Uta Takami to face Yuki Kamifuku, Wakana Uehara & Kaya Toribami. It’s now Endo & Crowley vs. Mizuki & Kazashiro and Arai, Suzuki & Takami vs. Kamifuku, Uehara & Toribami.

Tokyo Joshi Pro continues their fall 2025 house show tour today with another event in Tokyo. It’s the last one before their next major event so it’ll be the last time Miu Watanabe & Yuki Aino face off in tag team action before their Princess Of Princess Championship match, the first such chance for Aino as she’ll look to end Watanabe’s second reign before it really gets going. Likewise, that match will also feature Yuna Manase & Toga opposite Yuki Kamifuku & Wakana Uehara before their Princess Tag Team Championship match. There also is a title match scheduled for today as Mahiro Kiryu is scheduled to defend the DDT Iron Man Heavymetalweight Championship against Miyu Yamashita, but emphasis as always on “scheduled” because it’s always subject to change because of the 24/7 nature of the title. Additionally, 2 more NexGene Tournament matches are on tap which may set up the final day’s matches of the double-elimination event.

Finally, the promotion announced in advance that Kaya Toribami is off this event due to an international excursion.

Today’s event will be held at Shinjuku Face in Tokyo and can be watched LIVE on WRESTLE UNIVERSE. You will also be able to watch the full live broadcast FOR FREE on YouTube (live only, no on demand replay on YouTube-that will only be on WRESTLE UNIVERSE). There will be no commentary. There is also a public signing ceremony scheduled before the event for the upcoming International Princess Championship match between Arisu Endo & Alice Crowley. There are 7 matches scheduled and who knows what could happen with the Iron Man match, although the tournament matches will be no time limit I expect the event to run a little over 2 hours, or close to normal, factoring in a few minutes for the signing ceremony beforehand. That may be broadcast live on the WRESTLE UNIVERSE version but not YouTube based on start times (I will be watching the WRESTLE UNIVERSE version).

Today’s lineup (match order TBA):
Miu Watanabe, Yuki Kamifuku & Wakana Uehara vs. Yuki Aino, Yuna Manase & Toga
Mizuki, Suzume & Yuki Arai vs. Hyper Misao, Raku & Pom Harajuku
Arisu Endo & Haru Kazashiro vs. Shoko Nakajima & Alice Crowley
Rika Tatsumi & Mifu Ashida vs. HIMAWARI & Shino Suzuki
NexGene Tournament:
Kira Summer vs. Uta Takami
Ren Konatsu vs. Chika Nanase
DDT Iron Man Heavymetalweight Champion Mahiro Kiryu vs. Miyu Yamashita for the title (if Kiryu is still champion)

Refresh this page occasionally for the latest results.

Updates below will begin at 6:40 PM PT/9:40 PM ET. The WRESTLE UNIVERSE broadcast is scheduled to begin at that time. The YouTube broadcast is scheduled to begin at 7 PM PT/10 PM ET as is the event.

6:40 PM PT UPDATE: The WRESTLE UNIVERSE broadcast has begun. The YouTube broadcast is now scheduled to begin in 10 minutes.

6:50 PM PT UPDATE: Live updates begin now.

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

The paid attendance will be announced after the event. Mostly empty as the crowd is still filing in, and doesn’t look like the full capacity setup (500) but probably for around 350. Based on what I saw for ticket availability my guess will be around 250. (UPDATE: The announced paid attendance was 312, a full house/near sellout)

The signing ceremony for the 10/18 International Princess Championship match is held in the ring. Announcer Rise Shirai & referee Fumirin observe. Alice Crowley with microphone first. She makes a joke in English about the height differences between them. Endo with microphone. She counters in Japanese then stands on the chair to make her look taller then Crowley follows suit. Fumirin tries to play peacemaker. Crowley does have a good 7-8 inches-at least one head-height advantage over Endo. When they did the photo ops for the ringside cameras Endo stood on a chair again. This was much better than it had any right to be.

Apparently Shirai’s microphone went dead and she had to get a new one before the opening announcements.

The matches begin at 7:11 PM PT/10:11 PM ET.

Match 1: NexGene Tournament: Ren Konatsu vs. Chika Nanase. No time limit. Because both have already lost in the tournament, which is double-elimination format, the loser is out
Result: Chika Nanase beat Ren Konatsu by submission. As a result, Nanase stays alive in the tournament but Konatsu is eliminated

Match 2: NexGene Tournament: Kira Summer vs. Uta Takami. No time limit. Both won their first match so the winner will be in the best shape while the loser will likely face Nanase next in an elimination match
Result: Uta Takami beat Kira Summer by submission. As a result, Takami advances to what will be the championship match against the winner of the upcoming Summer-Nanase match where the loser will be eliminated. And it could mean matchES because Takami now has to be beaten twice to lose. The eventual winner will get a title shot of their choice. (UPDATE: Takami vs. the Summer-Nanase winner will happen on 10/26 at Ryogoku KFC Hall. The Summer-Nanase match will happen on 10/19 in Gunma)

Match 3: Rika Tatsumi & Mifu Ashida vs. HIMAWARI & Shino Suzuki. 20 minute time limit
Result: HIMAWARI & Shino Suzuki beat Rika Tatsumi & Mifu Ashida. Suzuki beat Ashida with a modified crossface. Suzuki with microphone immediately afterwards. It sounds like she may have found an ongoing tag team partner in HIMAWARI.

Match 4: DDT Iron Man Heavymetalweight Champion Mahiro Kiryu vs. Miyu Yamashita for the title. No time limit
Result: The Signed Contract For The International Princess Championship Match beat DDT Iron Man Heavymetalweight Champion Mahiro Kiryu to win the title. The Contract becomes the 1775th Champion. Which led to…
Result (actual match): Miyu Yamashita beat Mahiro Kiryu by countout. Yamashita then tried to win the title from the Contract but Kiryu broke it up.

Match 5: Mizuki, Suzume & Yuki Arai vs. Hyper Misao, Raku & Pom Harajuku. 20 minute time limit
Result: Mizuki, Suaume & Yuki Arai beat Hyper Misao, Raku & Pom Harajuku. Mizuki pinned Harajuku with Cutie Special.

Match 6: Arisu Endo & Haru Kazashiro vs. Shoko Nakajima & Alice Crowley. 20 minute time limit
Result: Shoko Nakajima & Alice Crowley beat Arisu Endo & Haru Kazashiro. Crowley pinned Kazashiro.

Main Event: Miu Watanabe, Yuki Kamifuku & Wakana Uehara vs. Yuki Aino, Yuna Manase (Ganbare Pro) & Toga. 20 minute time limit
Result: Yuki AIno, Yuna Manase & Toga beat Miu Watanabe, Yuki Kamifuku & Wakana Uehara. Toga pinned Uehara after Rock Bottom.

The next event is “Additional Attack ’25” Saturday at Korakuen Hall. Live streaming on WRESTLE UNIVERSE in Japanese and English will begin Friday at 7:30 PM PT/10:30 PM ET.

UPDATE: A post-event development has just come to light! What happened?
Rise Shirai’s Binder beat DDT Iron Man Heavymetalweight Champion The Signed Contract For The International Princess Championship Match to win the title. Binder becomes the 1776th Champion.

Pro Wrestling Everybody!

Tokyo Joshi Pro continues the fall house show tour with an event today in Tokyo, kicking off the 2025 NexGeneTournament. Featuring the 4 current rookies and second-year wrestlers, the winner gets a title shot of their choice as long as it’s a TJPW championship (so not the DDT Iron Man Heavymetalweight Championship or anything else). The participants this hear are Kira Summer, Chika Nanase, Uta Takami & Ren Konatsu. And since the current Iron Man Champion is on the card, pay attention to that match and elsewhere because if anyone beats Mahiro Kiryu with a referee present, assuming she is still champion, they win the title.

Today’s event will be held at Club eX in Shinagawa Prince Hotel in Tokyo and can be watched LIVE FOR FREE on YouTube. Tentatively anyway because the live stream will be via an iPad, which they tried once before and I thought cane off well with only minor issues. There will be no live broadcast on WRESTLE UNIVERSE but it will be available on demand Tuesday and there will be no archive on YouTube. Due to the iPad usage there is no guarantee of a live broadcast or complete stream due to unforeseen technical issues.

Today’s lineup (match order TBA):
Miu Watanabe & Shino Suzuki vs. Yuki Aino & Haru Kazashiro
Yuki Kamifuku & Wakana Uehara vs. Mizuki & Pom Harajuku
Yuna Manase & Toga vs. Yuki Arai & Mifu Ashida
Arisu Endo, Suzume & Mahiro Kiryu vs. Miyu Yamashita, Hyper Misao & Kaya Toribami
Rika Tatsumi vs. Raku
NexGene ’25 Tournament:
Kira Summer vs. Chika Nanase
Uta Takami vs.Ren Konatsu

Refresh this page occasionally for the latest results.

Updates below will begin at-if all goes as planned-7:30 PM PT/10:30 PM ET.

7:28 PM PT UPDATE: Live updates begin now.

We are LIVE from Club ex in Shinagawa Prince Hotel in Tokyo, Japan. There is no commentary. And no audio for now. (Audio is turned on about 5 minutes in)

The paid attendance will be announced after the event. Due to the iPad placement and being in portrait mode I can’t see much, but based on history and capacity my early prediction is around 275. (UPDATE: The announced paid attendance was 307, a super full house/very near sellout)

The matches should begin in about 10 minutes.

The matches begin at 7:42 PM PT/10:42 PM ET.

Match 1: NexGene ’25 Tournament: Uta Takami vs. Ren Konatsu. No time limit
Result: Uta Takami beat Ren Konatsu by submission

Match 2: NexGene ’25 Tournament: Kira Summer vs. Chika Nanase. No time limit
Result: Kira Summer beat Chika Nanase

As a result, the winners will face each other next as will the losers. It’s a double-elimination tournament so the Konatsu-Nanase loser is out.

Match 3: Rika Tatsumi vs. Raku. 15 minute time limit
Result: Rika Tatsumi beat Raku

Match 4: Arisu Endo, Suzume & Mahiro Kiryu vs. Miyu Yamashita, Hyper Misao & Kaya Toribami. 20 minute time limit
Result: Miyu Yamashita, Hyper Misao & Kaya Toribami beat Atisu Endo, Suzume & Mahiro Kiryu, when Yanashita beat Kiryu to win the DDT Iron Man Heavymetalweight Championship. Yamashita becomes the 1771st Champion. (I think) Long promo followed. Which led to…
Mahiro Kiryu beat DDT Iron Man Heavymetalweight Champion Miyu Yamashota to win the title. Kiryu becomes the 1772nd Champion. (I think)

Match 5: Yuna Manase (Ganbare Pro) & Toga vs. Yuki Arai & Mifu Ashida. 20 minute time limit
Result: Yuna Manase & Toga beat Yuki Arai & Mifu Ashida. Toga pinned Ashida after Rock Bottom.

Match 6: Yuki Kamifuku & Wakana Uehara vs. Mizuki & Pom Harajuku. 20 minute time limit
Result: Yuki Kamifuku & Wakana Uehara beat Mizuki & Pom Harajuku. Kamifuku pinned Harajuku after Fameasser.

Main Event: Miu Watanabe & Shino Suzuki vs. Yuki Aino & Haru Kazashiro. 20 minute time limit
Result: Yuki Aino & Shino Suzuki beat Mou Watanabe & Shino Suzuki. Aino pinned Suzuki after Venus DDT.

Overall the stream went off without a hitch except they forgot to turn the iPad’s microphone on until 5 minutes in but it would have been better in landscape instead of portrait view, and the viewing experience was better on an iPad. Too difficult to clearly see the action watching on a 43″ TV using an Apple TV. Better than nothing.

The next event is 10/12 at Shinjuku Face. Live streaming on WRESTLE UNIVERSE will begin on 10/11 at 7 PM PT/10 PM ET.

UPDATE: It has been announced there will be a Kiryu-Yamashita rematch for the Iron Man title on 10/12. As always with the title, subject to change.

Tokyo Joshi Pro began their fall house show tour today in Tokyo, which was changed this last week to include a retirement ceremony for Neko Haruna, the popular catgirl wrestler who has left the promotion and retired due to injuries.

Today’s event was held at Shin-Kiba 1st Ring in Tokyo and can be watched on demand on WRESTLE UNIVERSE.

The announced paid attendance was 284, a legit advance sellout.

There were last-minute changes to the card due to Toga being pulled off the event. The always-vague poor health.

During the opening announcements, it was announced that Yuki Kamifuku, who unbeknownst to us was actually competing as a freelancer these last several years, has officially joined the promotion.

Match 1: Mizuki beat Chika Nanase by submission.

Match 2: In a match where the winner was the first to answer a question about a certain country then find if on a globe within 10 second of a pinfall or rope escape wins, Hyper Misao beat Shino Suzuki.

Match 3: Yuki Kamifuku & Wakana Uheara beat Raku & Ren Konatsu. Uehara pinned Konatsu after Sushi Tornado.

Match 5: Shoko Nakajima, Miyu Yamashita & Kaya Toribami beat Yuki Arai, HIMAWARI & Mifu Ashida. Nakajima pinned Ashida with a Northern Lights suplex hold.

Main Event: Miu Watanabe, Arisu Endo & Uta Takami beat Yuki Aino, Haru Kazashiro & Kira Summer. Watanabe pinned Summer after Reverse Paradox.

Special Post-Main Event Match: Neko Haruna Retirement Match: Suzume & Mahiro Kiryu beat Rika Tatsumi & Pom Harajuku. Kiryu pinned Harajuku after a spinebuster. Neko Haruna was in the winners’ corner. Which led to…
Neko Haruna beat DDT Iron Man Heavymetalweight Champion Mahiro Kiryu to win the title. Haruna becomes the 1769th Champion. Which would allow her to be a champion for the first time in her career. Which led to…
Mahiro Kiryu beat DDT Iron Man Heavymetalweight Champion Neko Haruna to win the title. Kiryu becomes the 1770th Champion. Well, at least Haruna was champion for a couple minutes. This was followed by a retirement ceremony, 10 bell salute and final call for Neko Haruna, bringing her 7 year career to a close that unfortunately became derailed over the last 2-3 years due to a pair of serious knee injuries.

The next event is 10/4 at Club eX in Shinagawa Prince Hotel. Broadcast plans TBA but as of right now there may be no live broadcast.

UPDATE: The 10/4 event will be LIVE FOR FREE on YouTube, but only with an iPad so it may not go well (the first time they attempted this it actually had very few issues). No on demand. Live broadcast Friday at 7:30 PM PT/10:30 PM ET.

Tokyo Joshi Pro has announced last-minute changes to tomorrow’s event because, as the pun hints at, Toga is now off the event. The always-vague poor health. She was to have teamed with Ren Konatsu to face Yuki Kamifuku & Wakana Uehara. Raku is the replacement, but she was to have faced Hyper Misao & Shino Suzuki in a 3-way. That’s now a single match.

WRESTLE PRINCESS 6, Tokyo Joshi Pro’s most important event of the year (no longer their biggest though), is in the books.

Today’s event was held at Ota City General Gym in Tokyo and can be watched on demand on WRESTLE UNIVERSE.

The announced paid attendance was 1127.

There were some last-minute changes to the event due to Jada Stone being off the card. Not cleared to travel to Japan due to a knee injury. She was to have faced Arisu Endo for the vacant International Princess Championship. Priscilla Kelly was the replacement. She was to have faced Rika Tatsumi though. Pom Harajuku was removed from a battle royal to be the replacement there.

Before the event began, the promotion announced its first event in Thailand for 12/13 in Bangkok, which almost certainly will include Setup Pro Wrestling participation. They also announced that GRAND PRINCESS 2026, their biggest event of the year, will return to Ryogoku Kokugikan on 3/29 after being held elsewhere this year. 3 new trainees were also introduced, for now their names are Shion, Henn & Yuka.

UPDATE: After the event, the promotion announced the NexGene 2025 Tournament coming up in October. It will be a double-elimination tournament with 4 participants: Kira Summer, Chika Nanase, Uta Takami, Ren Konatsu. It will be held over 4 events and the eventual winner gets a title shot of their choice.

UPDATE 2: It was also announced that Nakajima’s next M:W Women’s Featherweight Championship defense will be on 10/4 in Long Beach, CA vs. HIMAWARI. As a result, both are now off the 10/4 TJPW event. The MLW event with that match will be streamed live FOR FREE on YouTube and also broadcast live on beIN Sports.

In an emergency Space live broadcast on Twitter earlier today, Tokyo Joshi Pro announced several last-minute changes to WRESTLE PRINCESS 6 on Saturday:

Injury Report-this is the main reason why changes had to be made to the card-Jada Stone is now off. Knee. Unable to travel to Japan as a result (doctor’s orders). She was to have faced Arisu Endo for the vacant International Princess Championship. Priscilla Kelly is the replacement…but more changes because she originally was to have faced Rika Tatsumi. Pom Harajuku is the replacement and there will be special rules which are TBA. Harajuku was to have been in a 9-person battle royal for the DDT Iron Man Heavymetalweight Championship currently held by Pocotan. That is now an 8-person battle royal. Hopefully no more changes needed but the battle royal comes with the standard “always subject to change” label due to the Iron Man Title 24/7 rules.
