Tokyo Joshi Pro continues the Tokyo Princess Cup today with the second day of Round 1. 2 more matches are on tap today and, after announcements earlier, it’ll be another full 6-match lineup with 4 non-tournament matches. Today’s Cup matches are Rika Tatsumi vs. Raku and Shoko Nakajima vs. Suzume, with the winners meeting in the Quarterfinals.
Today’s event will be held at Ryogoku KFC Hall in Tokyo and can be watched LIVE on WRESTLE UNIVERSE. There will be no commentary. Yesterday’s event went a bit faster than I predicted so if that happens again today, the total running time will be around 1 hour 45 minutes, good if you plan to tune in to New Japan’s event starting just before this one ends.
Today’s lineup (match order TBA…below turned out to be the actual order except for the tournament):
Arisu Endo vs. Runa Okubo
Hikari Noa, Shino Suzuki & Haru Kazashiro vs. Pom Harajuku, Neko Haruna & HIMAWARI
Mizuki & Hyper Misao vs. Wakana Uehara & Toga
Miyu Yamashita, Miu Watanabe, Yuki Kamifuku & Mahiro Kiryu vs. Yuki Aino, Nao Kakuta, Moka MIyamoto & Kaya Toribami
Tokyo Princess Cup:
Raku vs. Rika Tatsumi
Shoko Nakajima vs. Suzume
