Chris Brookes to Replace Willow Nightingale at TJPW Summer Sun Princess

By Noah Leatherland

Just hours away from TJPW Summer Sun Princess, the notion of ‘card subject to change’ has come into effect. Mizuki was set to face off with AEW’s Willow Nightingale, but will now square off with DDT’s Chris Brookes instead.

Speaking on social media, Nightingale shared that her absence from TJPW Summer Sun Princess is down to travel issues that would prevent her from making it to Tokyo on time.

Mizuki also shared her reaction to the news on social media.

Thanks for stepping in at such short notice! But! But!
This opponent is just too formidable!!!!!!

Brookes’ last appearance on a fully-fledged TJPW event came at last year’s Summer Sun Princess event. There, he teamed with Emi Sakura to defeat El Desperado and Maki Itoh.

TJPW Summer Sun Princess takes place on July 18th in Korakuen Hall, headlined by the Princess of Princess Championship match between Yuki Arai and Miyu Yamashita.
