There was a last-minute change to the card due to Rika Tatsumi being pulled off the event. The always-vague poor health. She was to have faced Mahiro Kiryu. Miu Watanabe was the replacement.

Tokyo Joshi Pro 11/15/25 Results

After the weekend began with a crossover event with IWA Japan & Thailand’s SETUP Pro Wrestling in Japan, some of the Tokyo Joshi Pro roster was in Malayasia today for a crossover event with DDT called LOVE & PEACE, also featuring a handful of live music performances by Up Up Girls and KLP48 among others.

Today’s event was held at Putalin Jaya Geospace in Selangor, Malaysia and will be available on demand on WRESTLE UNIVERSE in Japanese at a later date.

The paid attendance was not announced.

A solo idol performance by idol Azuki Moeno opened the pre-show followed by greeting from wrestlers and idols, with some apparent boos for Yuki Kamifuku which she noted in her comments. Chris Brookes was also present representing DDT. Up Up Girls performance followed with their live performance.

Match 1: MVPW Provided Match: LOVExFRDM beat JUICYxBOYZ. Finnick Rose pinned Wonder Boy.

Match 2: Shino Suzuki & Uta Takami beat Marika Kobashi & Kira Summer. Suzuki pinned Summer after a belly to belly suplex.

A live performance by NGT48, another AKB48 sub-label/spinoff, followed here.

Match 3: Sanshiro Takagi, Shinichiro Kawamatsu & Eman Azman beat Chris Brookes, Shota & Jack Alecanser. kawamatsu pinned Shota after Ax Bomber.

The last live performance here was by KLP48, a Malaysia-based version of AKB48.

Main Event: Miu Watanabe, Yuki Arai & Raku beat Yuki Kamifuku, Mifu Ashida & Poppy Shay. Watanabe pinned Ashida after Teardrop.

The event concluded with a final song performance by KLP48, NGT48, Up Up Girls, Moeno and even Yuki Arai singing too, which makes me really hope these songs make the on demand version even though there may be a lot of muting due to copyrights. Based on post-event comments from Takagi, Watanabe, Arai & others it seemed like the event was a great success and hopefully they will return to Malaysia in the nest future.

The next event is a TJPW INSPIRATION event Wednesday at Itabashi Green Hall in Tokyo. Live streaming on WRESTLE UNIVERSE will begin at 2 AM PT/5 AM ET.

TJPW News: Title Matches Today, More (Updated)

Some Tokyo Joshi Pro news today:

At a joint IWA Japan/SETUP Pro Wrestling event today in Tokyo, there was a title change as Miyu Yamashita & Kaya Toribami became the new IWA JAPAN SETUP World Tag Team Champions, especially significant for Toribami as this is her first career championship, coming 4 years after her debut. Unfortunately for us Pom Harajuku failed in her attempt to reclaim the SETUP All-Asia Women’s Championship, which was the first title of her career and one she held in the past year.

Today’s event is expected to be available on demand in about 10 days. Updates to follow from IWA Japan and SETUP.

Some of the roster is in Malaysia for an event tomorrow (look for Kira Summer and especially Mifu Ashida posting lots of pics on social media), which will also feature live performances by Up Up Girls and KLP48, a Malaysia-based branch of J-pop megagroup AKB48. This event will be available on demand on WRESTLE UNIVERSE at a later date with Japanese commentary.

Finally, it has been announced that Shoko Nakajima is off the major 12/7 event at Korakuen Hall in Tokyo. Unspecified circumstances which has me thinking potential schedule conflicts with Major League Wrestling as she is the MLW Women’s Featherweight Champion. A masked wrestler playing off of special guests Ovha Norma is the replacement.

UPDATE: DEVELOPING-After retaining the SETUP All-Asia Women’s Championship today against Pom Harajuku & Ram Kaichow in a 3-way, Matcha has now challenged Princess Of Princess Champion Miu Watanabe to a match on 12/13 in Bangkok, Thailand for the title. TJPW runs an event that day after a SETUP event earlier in the day at the same venue (The Circus Studio). More as it becomes available.

News: PWI Women’s 250 Announced

As a longtime fan and reader of Pro Wrestling Illustrated magazine, I was excited to get my digital new issue today because it features the second list of their ranking season, the PWI Women’s 250. Whereas the prior PWI 500 features all wrestlers but focuses on men (women are ranked though), this one is just for the ladies. As with the 500, this post focuses on spotlighting where women from and who compete mainly in Japan are ranked, plus the overall top 10.

Because the print edition does not come out for another 3 weeks, be advised that if you are waiting for that version and if you want to avoid SPOILERS until then DO NOT click below! (Be careful browsing online and on Zinio as the cover gives away the top 2)

Tokyo Joshi Pro Wrestling “ALL RISE ’25” LIVE Results (11/9/25) (Updated x2)

Tokyo Joshi Pro runs their likely final major event of the year, ALL RISE ’25, today in Tokyo. It won’t have quite as many matches as the major/blowout events usually do but makes up for it in quality with a total of 4 title matches today. The headliner features another international challenger bring brought in as Miu Watanabe will defend the Princess Of Princess Championship against J-Rod, a US-based wrestler whose outfit resembles one from popular 1990s TV show “American Gladiators”, and also towers over Watanabe at about 6 feet tall. The second title match before that sees Arisu Endo defend the International Princess Championship against Uta Takami, who earned a title shot of her choice by winning the NexGene Tournament and, to my slight surprise, chose this one, maybe because she didn’t want to face her Up Up Girls partner/stablemate in Watanabe, but who knows. The third title match likewise features big chances for new faces as Yuki Kamifuku & Wakana Uehara defend the Princess Tag Team Championship against Shino Suzuki & HIMAWARI, which could very well mean there is a chance all the champions after today are Up Up Girls. Finally, a bonus title match will see Shoko Nakajima defend the MLW Women’s Featuerweight Championship against Viva Van. Also on the undercard, 2-decade-plus veteran Hiroyo Matsumoto, who is winding down her solid career, reunites with trainee Yuki Arai one more time for a special tag match-Matsumoto helped train Arai for her wrestling career while she was in . SKE48 And finally, I think Rika Tatsumi is still DDT Iron Man Heavymetalweight Champion, so if that is the case…you never know what will happen…

There has been a last-minute change announced to the card because Kira Summer is now off the event. Fever. Possibly cold/flu-like symptoms as well based on a follow-up social media post in Japanese & English from Summer (who is Australian). She was to have been in an 8-woman tag match. Replacement TBA and will be revealed at match time.

Today’s event will be held at Korakuen Hall in Tokyo and can be watched LIVE on WRESTLE UNIVERSE in Japanese & English. Former AKB48 member Erina Oda, who left the all-girl J-Pop megagroup (and parent group of SKE48 which Yuki Arai was part of) and is now a stage performer & entertainment personality, will be a special guest on Japanese commentary. It looks like Tetsu Inada will be filling in for Haruo Murata as host today based on what UNIVERSE is saying. There are just 7 matches today but with 4 title matches that means the running time will still be close to a normal Korakuen event for the promotion meaning it should run 2 1/2-3 hours.

Today’s lineup:
Rika Tatsumi, Chika Nanase, Ren Konatsu & TBA vs. Hyper Misao, Kakeru Sekiguchi, Mahiro Kiryu & Mifu Ashida
Mizuki & Suzume vs. Miyu Yamashita & Kaya Toribami, Yuki Aino & Haru Kazashiro and Pom Harajuku & Raku in a 4-way
Hiroyo Matsumoto & Yuki Arai vs. Yuna Manase & Toga
MLW Women’s Featherweight Champion Shoko Nakajima vs. Viva Van for the title
International Princess Champion Arisu Endo vs. Uta Takami for the title
Princess Tag Team Champions Yuki Kamifuku & Wakana Uehara vs. HIMAWARI & Shino Suzuki for the titles
Princess Of Princess Champion Miu Watanabe vs. J-Rod for the title
