Tokyo Joshi Pro has provided a recap of Miyu Yamashita & Hyper Misao visiting England yesterday for a doubleheader in Pro Wrestling EVE (they missed the TJPW event in Kyoto as a result):
At the first event, Yamashita beat Millie McKenzie to earn an EVE Championship match against current champion Alex Windsor at the second event. At that second event, Yamashita beat Windsor to win the title. McKenzie made an immediate challenge and Yamashita accepted, but stated it will happen in Japan. That match will happen at ALL RISE ’22 on 11/27 at Korakuen Hall in Tokyo.
Misao teamed with Session Moth Martina at the first event to challenge EVE Tag Team Champions Leah O’Reilly & Sky Smithson for the titles. In the end, Misao & Martina lost when Misao hit Hypami Returns on Smithson but O’Reilly made the save and a subsequent spray attack by Misao & Martina backfired. Smithson finished with Smithson Effect and the champs retained the titles. At the second event, in what appeared to be a hardcore comedy match, Misao beat Nightshade after Hypami Returns on a chair. Misao’s comedy “hero bicycle” also made the trip to Japan and appeared during this match.

Yamashita & Misao will be back for the next TJPW event, which is Sunday at Shinjuku Face in Tokyo to continue the Fall ’22 house show tour.

Tokyo Joshi Pro continues the CITY CIRCUIT series today with a return to Kyoto, the hometown of SKE48 member and Princess Tag Team Champion Yuki Arai. Appropriately enough, she is the featured star today and that means we get another hearty helping of AA Eye Candy as fellow Princess Tag Team Champion Saki Akai will be joining Arai for the main event as they face Miu Watanabe & Pom Harajuku in a NON-TITLE match. There is a bit of notable missing talent today as Miyu Yamashita & Hyper Misao will miss the event due to competing in England and Nao Kakuta will miss the event due to a stage/theater performance.

Today’s event will be held at Kyoto KBS Hall in Kyoto and can be watched LIVE on WRESTLE UNIVERSE. There probably will not be any commentary. The event is a legit advance sellout. The card is split evenly between single and tag matches so between that, and a DDT event shortly afterwards, this could be a quick event. I anticipate the total runtime being just under 2 hours.

Today’s lineup:
Shoko Nakajima vs. Suzume & Neko Haruna in a 3-way
Moka Miyamoto vs. Kaya Toribami
Yuki Aino & Raku vs. Yuki Kamifuku & Mahiro Kiryu
Rika Tatsumi vs. Arisu Endo
Yuka Sakazaki & Mizuki vs. Maki Itoh & Hikari Noa
Yuki Arai & Saki Akai vs. Miu Watanabe & Pom Harajuku

10:25 PM ET UPDATE: Live results begin now.
We are LIVE from Kyoto KBS Hall in Kyoto, Japan. There is no commentary.

The paid attendance will be announced after the event but it’s a legit advance sellout. Vocal cheering is allowed so that will keep the number low, probably 300-400. We also have a hard-camera only setup.

Result: Moka Miyamoto beat Kaya Toribami

Main Event: Yuki Arai & Saki Akai vs. Miu Watanabe & Pom Harajuku. 20 minute time limit
Ewault: Yuki Arai & Saki Akai beat Miu Watanabe & Pom Harajuku. Arai pinned Harajuku after Finally. This was the longest match of the event, the only one to go over 15 minutes. The winners’ post-match promo was interrupted before it even began by Raku & Yuki Aino. Challenge issued for the Princess Tag Team Championship. Accepted. We should soon find out when it will happen. Based on the current schedule I would tentatively expect 11/26, the next major event.

The next event is 11/20 at Shinjuku Face in Tokyo. Live streaming on WRESTLE UNIVERSE will begin at 3:45 AM ET/12:45 AM PT.

UPDATE: The tag title match will happen on 11/27 (11/26 US time).

The announced paid attendance was 308, a legit advance sellout. 50% capacity limit due to vocal cheering allowed.

Tokyo Joshi Pro today revealed the TBA from outside Japan that would be making their first visit there to face Princess Of Princess Champion Yuka Sakazaki for the title on 11/27, and if you were expecting a notable name you are going to be very disappointed…TBA is Billie Starkz. She is based in Kentucky, has been competing for 4 years and is an honors student who competes in the indies and beat Maki Itoh earlier this year. And she’s only 17. Anyway, there is the match.

Tokyo Joshi Pro has announced the Futari-wa Princess Max Heart Tournament, a tag team tournament, will return for a third edition in early 2023. The schedule will be as follows:
1/15-Otemachi Mitsui Hall, Tokyo
1/19-Shinjuku Face, Tokyo
1/29-Kasukabe Fureai Cube, Saitama (Semifinals)
2/11-Korakuen Hall, Tokyo (Finals)

This is a single-elimination tournament. Participating teams TBA. Rika Tatsumi & Miu Watanabe won the 2nd tournament earlier this year.

Tokyo Joshi Pro heads to Osaka today for a mid-major event, heading to the city for the first time in about 6 months. In addition to All Elite Wrestling’s Willow Nightingale getting to make her Japan debut (it was postponed from earlier this year due to visa issues), the main event features International Princess Champion Miu Watanabe vs. Moka Miyamoto for the title. Miyamoto has gotten the better of Watanabe over the last month, but all in tag matches and never pinning the champion. Now that it’s one-on-one, can the Up Up Girl back up her stunning title-winning upset with that important first successful defense?

Today’s event will be held at Osaka Prefectural Gym 2 in Osaka and can be watched LIVE on WRESTLE UNIVERSE. It’s not yet known if there will be commentary but I am assuming there will be Japanese commentary. This is the last part of a live wrestling tripleheader along with New Japan’s PPV and All Elite Wrestling Rampage, so it you’re trying to last the whole thing in the eastern US have plenty of caffeine ready for this overnighter, I anticipate this event running about 2 1/2 hours. (It went exactly 2 hours)

Today’s lineup:
Yuki Aino & Raku vs. Nao Kakuta & Yoshiko Hasegawa
Miyu Yamashita & Juria Nagano vs. Mahiro Kiryu & Kaya Toribami
Shoko Nakajima, Hyper Misao & Pom Harajuku vs. Mizuki, Suzume & Neko Haruna
Rika Tatsumi & Yuki Arai vs. Hikari Noa & Arisu Endo
Yuka Sakazaki & Willow Nightingale vs. Maki Itoh & Yuki Kamifuku
International Princess Champion Miu Watanabe vs. Moka Miyamoto for the title

11:25 PM ET UPDATE: Live updates begin now.

We are LIVE from Osaka Prefectural Gym 2 in Osaka, Japan. It sounds like vocal cheering is allowed today. There is no commentary.

The announced paid attendance was 400, a legit sellout. Further reduced max capacity due to vocal cheering allowed, plus Osaka has been stricter than most about capacity limits since the pandemic began. Also, the view on the stream was from the hard camera only despite at least one video cameraman at ringside when the matches began.

During the opening announcements, Saki Akai is announced for the 11/13 event in Kyoto. Hopefully that means more AA Eye Candy!

The matches begin at 11:40 PM ET.

The next event is 11/6 at Ryogoku KFC Hall in Tokyo, resuming the Fall 2022 house show tour. Live streaming on WRESTLE UNIVERSE will begin on 11/5 at 11 PM ET/8 PM PT.

Tokyo Joshi Pro announced today that NEW Princess Of Princess Champion Yuka Sakazaki will defend the title on 11/27 at Korakuen Hall, the promotion’s next major event. But for now the opponent has only been billed as TBA but with one big teaser-it will be a foreigner making their first ever trip to Japan. So it could be from All Elite Wrestling or Pro Wrestling EVE, but that rules out Hikaru Shida, Thunder Rosa, Willow Nightingale, Alex Windsor, Leah O’Reilly and Max The Impaler among other potential notable names from both the US and England, and also another potential rematch with Shoko Nakajima (who Sakazaki beat to win the title earier this month) and Miyu Yamashita (the only other 3-time champion). Time to research for perhaps some Serena Dirty Deebs or maybe a Tony! Toni! Tone! Storm is on the horizon…

Tokyo Joshi Pro ran a special WRESTLE UNIVERSE members-only event today, with admission only available to members of the DDT Group’s official fan club (do you subscribe to the WRESTLE UNIVERSE streaming service? Yes? Then you’re a member!). This was all about comedy matches and entertainment.

Today’s event was held at Kitazawa Town Hall in Tokyo and should be available on demand on WRESTLE UNIVERSE at a later date (probably Thursday). There was no live broadcast.

The announced paid attendance was 162, a super full house/very near sellout.

Before the show began…oh no, Miyu Yamashita is MIA! Airplane troubles on her return from Spain. Will she make it in time for her match?

Match 1: In a Children’s Lunch Cooking Match Showdown, with the winner declared by referee/judge Daisuke Kiso, Yuka Sakazaki beat Miu Watanabe by decision.

Match 2: In a Werewolf Match, where eliminated wrestlers apparently became “citizens” instead of werewolves, Kaya Toribami beat Shoko Nakajima, Maki Itoh & Yuki Aino in a 4-way elimination match. Order of elimination: Aino by Nakajima & Toribami, Nakajima by Itoh. Apparently something happened to eliminate Itoh and Toribami won.

Story time with ring announcer Sayuri Nanba & Neko Haruna. And during all this, Yamashita made it to the venue! Fortunately she had her ring gear on under her clothing, so right to…

Match 3: Miyu Yamashita beat Neko Haruna. It went just 100 seconds.

Match 4: In a Dog Lovers vs. Cat Lovers Army Settlement Battle 3 Falls Match, Dog Lovers (Yuki Kamifuku, Hikari Noa & Arisu Endo) vs. Cat Lovers (Hyper Misao, Nao Kakuta & Mahiro Kiryu) ended in a Draw. Match progress: In a 1 Count Fall match, Noa beat Kiryu. In a “Nyan” Count Fall match, Misao beat Endo. In the settlement match (normal rules, no time limit), Kamifuku vs. Kakuta went to a no contest. Neko Haruna out of control. Draw (1-1).

Main Event: In a Costume Change Match, Rika Tatsumi, Suzume & Moka Miyamoto beat Mizuki, Raku & Pom Harajuku. Tatsumi pinned Harajuku after Twist Of Fate. Everyone dressed up and dod their hair to look like other wrestlers and not their usual selves…except perhaps Harajuku because that’s part of her comedy gimmick.

The next event is “The Mountain Top 2022” Saturday at Osaka Prefectural Gym 2 in Osaka. The main event will be International Princess Champion Miu Watanabe vs. Moka Miyamoto for the title and All Eite Wrestling star Willow Nightingale will make her Japan debut. Live streaming on WRESTLE UNIVERSE will begin Friday at 11 PM ET/8 PM PT.
