TJPW kicked off a new edition of the Tokyo Princess Cup, its traditional summer tournament. The first edition will take place between July 27 and August 23. Sixteen participants will compete in the tournament. However, Ryo Mizunami, last year’s winner, will not be participating. The second day brought the action from Tokyo Joshi to Hamamatsu.
In a quick opener, Up Up Girls’ Suzuki and Takami defeated Konatsu and Suzume. Suzuki got the pin clean over the rookie Konatsu. In the second bout, Harajuku joined forces with Raku and Aino to defeat Nanase, Steele, Summer and Watanane in a 3 vs. 4 Handicap match. In the third bout, Sekiguchi joined forces with Toribami, Kiryu and Mizuki to defeat Ashida, Yamashita, Toga and Uehara.
まだ一回戦だけどとてつもなく大きな敵を乗り越えることができたと思う!

In the matches valid for the TJPW Tokyo Princess Cup we had 4 eliminations bouts. In the first match, Kazashiro defeated HIMAWARI. Big win for the TJPW Rookie of 2024. In the second match, Endo defeated Misao. Big win for one half of Daisy Monkey over one half of the current TJPW Princess Tag Team Champions. In the the third match, Arai defeated Kamifuku in the ‘Battle of the Yuki’. Arai is starting to gain momentum after losing to Mizuki in a TJPW Princess of Princess Championship match at Summer Sun Princess ’25. In the main event, Nakajima defeated Tatsumi. Very good bout between two veterans of TJPW. Nakajima is living a great moment in her career as she holds two belts and in case she wins the tournament would be close to having a third belt.
一回戦突破!
