Miu Watanabe Retains Over Suzume at TJPW Tokyo Joshi Pro ’26

By Noah Leatherland

TJPW held their annual Tokyo Joshi Pro event in a packed Korakuen Hall, filling the top of the card with some big title matches. Miu Watanabe bested the challenging Suzume to keep her reign as Princess of Princess Title in tact, whilst MIRAI was crowned as the new International Princess Champion.

There were plenty of hijinks on the TJPW show, as well as more straight-forward matches. The DDT Iron Man Heavy Metal Title began and ended the night around the waist of Mahiro Kiryu. However, it was also briefly held by Aja Kong and a bicycle throughout the event. Also, special rules were enacted for the showdown between Hyper Misao and Shoko Nakajima. Instead of pinfalls or submissions, the bout was decided by three ‘horse wrestlers’ racing around the venue, with Misao and Nakajima betting on who would win. The match ended in a no-contest as neither picked correctly.

Kicking off the trio of title matches, Arisu Endo defended the International Princess Championship against Michinoku Pro’s MIRAI. The event also marked Endo’s fifth anniversary as a pro wrestler. At the end of December, MIRAI punctuated this newest leg of her career by winning the JTO Girls’ Title. Competing in TJPW for the first time since 2021, MIRAI came away the victor, besting Endo. It was an emotional win for MIRAI, with a tear rolling down her cheek as she lifted her newly won championship high. MIRAI was then confronted by Toga, challenging her for the title.

Wakana Uehara and Yuki Kamifuku entered Korakuen Hall as reigning Princess Tag Team Champions. They were met in the ring by their challengers, Haru Kazashiro and Yuki Aino. The champions proved just a bit too much for the challengers, as Uehara managed to make Kazashiro submit.

The main event saw Miu Watanabe defending the promotion’s top prize, the Princess of Princess Championship, against Suzume. Despite Suzume’s valiant efforts, she could not depose the champion. Watanabe proved to be far too tough to beat, with a Spinning Tear Drop  acting as the final blow to put Suzume away. Watanabe will lead TJPW into the new year as their top champion, with Grand Princess 2026 in the Ryogoku Kokugikan just a couple months away.
