Tokyo Joshi Pro holds their annual pre-Christmas special event today in Tokyo, featuring most of the roster in special single matches with only 7 minute time limits. All the matches were determined by fan drawing with those not participating being in tag matches instead. Those matches will feature champions & challengers for upcoming events as Pom Harajuku prepares to defend her newly-won SPW (Thailand) All-Asia Championship against Matcha, who she beat for the title, and the likely main event sees International Princess Champion Yuki Arai opposite challenger Suzume, with Miu Watanabe & Arisu Endo as their respective partners.
As previously announced, Kira Summer will miss the event as she is back home in Australia following the death of her father and is spending the holidays with family. She has occasionally posted on social media and thanked the fans for their continued support. She will be back after Christmas.
Today’s event will be held at Tama Mirai Messe in Tokyo and can be watched LIVE on WRESTLE UNIVERSE FOR FREE! No monthly paid subscription required! There will be no commentary. Even though there will be 12 matches none will go longer than 10 minutes, so the event won’t go longer than about 2 hours.
