TJPW’s Ace Miyu Yamashita is very close to earn a “Japan – U.S. – U.K. Triple Crown” this month. Yamashita’s set to face known rival Yuka Sakazaki for her TJPW Princess of Princess Championship at tonight’s “TJPW ’23” show, prior to Wrestle Kingdom.
The contender isn’t just that, however, as she holds British all-female promotion Pro Wrestling EVE’s top title belt after defeating Alex Windsor last November. Should Miyu win tonight, she’d go as a double-champion into a Ring of Honor Women’s Championship match against Athena at PRESTIGE Wrestling later this month. The Pink Striker made it very clear that she’s aiming to achieve this feat, but she will have to go through a Sakazaki at her toughest.
TJPW'23 is finally here!
Enjoy the amazing show together LIVE with English commentary TODAY on #wrestleUNIVERSE!
8 matches including 3 title matches!

The two rivals exchanged elbows last Christmas at Ryogoku KFC Hall during an 8-woman tag team match, with Yamashita on the losing end after going back-and-forth with Yuka. Despite confessing her disappointment at the outcome, she’s more than fired up for tonight’s match. Yamashita declared that she expects to be a triple champion by the end of the month.
