Tokyo Joshi Pro continues the CITY CIRCUIT 2022 series with a visit to Hamamatsu City in Shizuoka Prefecture today. For the most part it’s a regular house show but there is a title match on tap-Miyu Yamashita will defend the EVE Championship against Rio, and it’s been decided that it will have EVE rules. This differs from a regular title match in that there are no countouts, and if a wrestler isn’t fighting with enough spirit after ref warnings, they can be DQ’d.
Also, once again there are several missing names from the lineup-Maki Itoh & Yuki Kamifuku are out due to being in Malaysia, while Nao Kakuta continues to be absent due to stage performances.
Today’s event will be held at Entetsu Hall in Shizuoka and can be watched LIVE on WRESTLE UNIVERSE. There will be no commentary. Since there are 4 single matches on the 6 match card it should be an average house show length-wise, with an anticipated total running time of just under 2 hours.
Today’s lineup:
Suzume vs. Kaya Toribami
Hyper Misao vs. Mahiro Kiryu
Hikari Noa vs. Neko Haruna
Yuka Sakazaki & Mizuki vs. Raku & Pom Harajuku
Shoko Nakajima, Yuki Aino & Arisu Endo vs. Miu Watanabe, Rika Tatsumi & Moka Miyamoto
Pro Wrestling EVE Champion Miyu Yamashita vs. Rio for the title

11 PM ET UPDATE: Live updates start now.
We are LIVE from Entetsu Hall in Shizuoka, Japan. There is no commentary. Already technical issues at the start but they hopefully fixed it by restarting the stream.
The paid attendance will be announced after the event but vocal cheering is allowed so lower capacity. Most tickets were sold in advance but it looks like a potential sellout, likely in the 150-200 range.
The matches begin at 11:15 PM ET. We may be hard-camera only again even though there’s one video cameraman at ringside.
In the early moments of the event, TJPW announced on Twitter the Shizuoka return date is 5/13/23 at Act City Hamamatsu Exhibition Event Hall.
