Miu Watanabe Wins The TJPW Tokyo Princess Cup 12, Will Challenge Mizuki For Princess of Princess Title

By: Lewis Carlan

There has never been a competitor in Tokyo Joshi Pro-Wrestling that has won the Princess of Princess Title, International Princess Title, Princess Tag Team Title, Max Heart Tournament & Tokyo Princess Cup but that all changed on Aug. 22. 

In front of a crowd of 742 at Korakuen Hall, Miu Watanabe defeated Arisu Endo in the Tokyo Princess Cup 12 final to become the first wrestler to achieve all of the major accomplishments in TJPW. Watanabe and Endo had a terrific match but in the end it was a Watanabe Tear Drop that proved to be too much for Endo. Watanabe scored the pinfall win at the 20:20 mark of the bout. With the victory, Watanabe earned the right to challenge Mizuki for the Princess of Princess Title.

Mizuki appeared and entered the ring following Watanabe’s victory as the two confronted each other. Watanabe issued the championship challenge to Mizuki which was accepted.  The two will meet at WRESTLE PRINCESS Ⅵ on September 20th at Ota Ward General Gymnasium.

Watanabe made these comments during her post-match backstage interview:

“I won the tournament! I’ve also announced my challenge, so I’ll work hard to become an even stronger princess! This is the first time I’ve heard of a new Grand Slam, so I’m incredibly happy!”
