Tokyo Joshi Pro continues the Tokyo Princess Cup today with the second half of Round 1. The 4 remaining matches will be held today along with a couple of non-tournament matches that will be announced when the event starts. Because of the tournament structure this year with the number of participants, today’s winners all will get a free pass through Round 2 and go straight to the Quarterfinals.
Today’s event will be held at Ryogoku KFC Hall in Tokyo and can be watched LIVE and on demand on WRESTLE UNIVERSE. There will be no commentary. If you’re planning on watching this and New Japan tonight plan on some split-screen/multitasking as I anticipate this event having a total running time of just under 2 hours (last night’s event went 1 hour 40 minutes).
Today’s lineup:
Tokyo Princess Cup:
Yuki Kamifuku vs. Rika Tatsumi
Kaya Toribami vs. Yuka Sakazaki
Arisu Endo vs. Miu Watanabe
Nao Kakuta vs. Yuki Aino
Yuki Arai participation. Non-tournament matches TBA at event time
