Tokyo Joshi Pro began their seasonal Autumn/Fall 2022 House Show tour today with a small house show ahead of their big Nagoya event tomorrow.
Today’s event was held at Narimasu Act Hall in Tokyo and will be available on demand on WRESTLE UNIVERSE at a later date. There was no live broadcast.
The announced paid attendance was 165.
During the opening, a WRESTLE UNIVERSE members-only event was announced for 10/24 at Kitazawa Town Hall. The Up Up Girls performance was a solo by Miu Watanabe because no Hikari Noa (returning from her first international excursion. She will be back tomorrow).
Match 1: Yuki Aino beat Moka Miyamoto.
Match 2: Rika Tatsumi & Miu Watanabe beat Suzume & Neko Haruna. Tatsumi pinned Haruna after Twist Of Fate.
Match 3: Yuki Kamifuku & Mahiro Kiryu beat Shoko Nakajima & Arisu Endo. Kiryu pinned Endo.
Match 4: In a “Sour Sweet Citric Acid” 2 Count Match, where besides a 2 count pinfall to win there was also a special rule where after a 1 count or rope escape you had to drink a glass of concentrated lemon juice to continue, Nao Kakuta beat Hyper Misao.
Main Event: Miyu Yamashita, Maki Itoh & Raku beat Yuka Sakazaki, Mizuki & Pom Harajuku. Raku pinned Harajuku after Doctor Yellow. Very significant moment-this is Raku’s first career main event victory, at least one that she was directly responsible for.
The next event is tomorrow at Nagoya Congress Center in Nagoya. Vocal cheering by fans will be allowed (no streamers or support banners though). It will be headlined by Princess Tag Team Champions Yuki Arai & Saki Akai vs. Yuki Kamifuku & Mahiro Kiryu for the titles and a special SKE48 live mini-performance with Arai and 4 of her SKE48 teammates, which hopefully will be enough of a boost to lift AA Eye Candy to a successful title defense after Arai took tough losses to both challengers recently. SKE48 teammate Marika Tani will be on commentary for the event, and will stick around for the DDT event afterwards. Live streaming on WRESTLE UNIVERSE will begin TONIGHT at 11:30 PM ET/8:30 PM PT. LIVE RESULTS WILL BE POSTED. If you miss the live broadcast, the SKE48 performance will be available on demand for one month only, so don’t wait.
