Shoko Nakajima ended Yuki Arai’s Princess of Princess Championship reign at Tokyo Joshi Pro-Wrestling’s All Rise on November 8. Nakajima captured the Korakuen Hall main event with a diving senton at 23:54, becoming the title’s eighteenth champion and securing the belt for a third time.
Arai had defended the title five times before this bout, and the loss immediately generated interest in Nakajima’s next challenger. Miu Watanabe and Hyper Misao both pressed for a spot, prompting TJPW to schedule a match at Korakuen Hall on January 4 to determine the rightful challenger.
TJPW also unveiled the Unlimited Princess Championship during the November 8 show. By promotion rules, a defense may occur wherever a referee is present, provided the challenger announces the proposed match on social media and the office grants permission; the first champion will be decided in a December 26 battle royal.
In NOAH, Tetsuya Naito secured his second consecutive GHC Heavyweight Championship defense on November 9, defeating Kenoh. The victory propels Naito into the title story after he previously defeated OZAWA last month.
Kaito Kiyomiya and Yoshiki Inamura both vied for Naito’s upcoming opportunity. NOAH has penciled them into an ironman clash at Korakuen Hall on December 6 to decide who advances to the championship.
NOAH’s Junior Grand Prix also kicked off with a surprise upset as BUSHI knocked out reigning GHC Junior Heavyweight Champion Kai Fujiwara in the opening round on November 9, eliminating the title‑holder from the first hurdle.
Sydney Akeem made his NOAH debut at the Korakuen event. The former WWE performer and Cirque du Soleil veteran joined the Junior Grand Prix, adding a new element to a tour already impacted by Tsunagu Sato’s career‑related postponement.
STARDOM’s Goddesses of Stardom Tag League delivered a strong showing, as Starlight Kid and Maki Itoh’s Trouble Friends squad defeated Momo Watanabe and Saya Kamitani with Kid’s moonsault pin. The victory marked BLACK SWAN’s first league loss and gave Trouble Friends a two‑wins, two‑losss record.

New Japan confirmed Zack Sabre Jr. as Taichi’s World Tag League partner on November 7. The Dangerous Tekkers reunite for the tournament beginning November 23, a notable addition after last week’s report left their partnership unannounced.
Suzume defended the International Princess Championship against Shino Takami at All Rise, retaining with Ring a Bell for her fifth defence. TJPW then booked Zara Zakher as her challenger in Dallas, fulfilling Suzume’s request for an overseas title bout.
Yuki Aino and Haru Kazashiro successfully defended their Princess Tag Team reign against Raku and Pom Harajuku. Kazashiro delivered the decisive pinfall, preserving the team’s title after their October victory.
