Tokyo Joshi Pro continues the Futari-wa Princess Max Heart Tournament today with the Quarterfinals as part of another doubleheader with DDT. Yesterday’s Round 1 saw Wasteland Pom Party advance, much to my delight, but also a shocking upset as Arisu Endo & Suzume, undoubtedly an early favorite to win the tournament, were beaten by Wakana Uehara & Yuki Kamifuku when Uehara submitted Endo in perhaps the biggest win yet of Uehara’s young career. Today’s results will set up the Semifinals in a couple weeks.
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. Although there are 8 matches today instead of 7 they are on a tight clock again because there’s a DDT event to follow them. Yesterday’s event was shorter than I anticipated and I expect more of the same with today running around 2 hours.
Today’s lineup: (match order TBA):
Rika Tatsumi vs. Arisu Endo & Chika Nanase in a 3-way
Miu Watanabe vs. Kira Summer
Miyu Yamashita vs. Ivy Steele
Mizuki, Jada Stone & Uta Takami vs. Suzume, Moka Miyamoto & Mifu Ashida
Max Heart Tournament Quarterfinals:
Shoko Nakajima & Hyper Misao vs. Yoshiko Hasegawa & Kaya Toribami
Haru Kazashiro & Toga vs. HIMAWARI & Shino Suzuki
Max The Impaler & Pom Harajuku vs. Yuki Aino & Raku

The paid attendance will be announced after the event. Didn’t get a good look because they came in right as the opening announcements began, but yesterday did a near-sellout of just under 300 so that’ll be my guess for today. (UPDATE: The announced paid attendance was 223)
