03:08here we are
03:09main event of the evening
03:10Princess of Princess
03:11Championship match
03:12first singles match ever
03:15between the two
03:18UKRA as challenger
03:20facing the 16th
03:22champion
03:22in her 50th
03:24Myu Watanabe in the main event of Grand Princess 2-6 here at Ryogoku Sumo Hall.
03:39Alright, winning it 6-way this January, a 6-way elimination match to earn the shot.
03:46This is her first main event in Ryogoku Sumo Hall.
03:51It's been a year since she graduated from SKB48 last March.
03:56Right now, she doesn't want her main identity to be the former SKB48 idol anymore.
04:02She wants to be known as the champ of BJPW.
04:08She's definitely been putting some work towards that, putting in the hours at the gym,
04:13basically changing her entire physique, adding more muscle.
04:16That's right. She said that when she was an idol.
04:19She feared gaining muscle.
04:22You can see when I sit in her idol costume, she has now been released from that restriction.
04:31And the physical change is very visual.
04:36I mean, not just physical change as well. She seems happier.
04:40Like, I guess, we do get to see her a lot more often.
04:44She said she used to cry in Nagoya because she wouldn't have the place to practice her bumps.
04:50Because she would have to come to the Tokyo Dojo for wrestling practices.
04:53She didn't get enough of it.
04:55That actually makes sense.
04:56Sometimes I've seen her when she was traveling from Nagoya.
04:59And she'd basically come immediately from the station.
05:02To the Tokyo Dojo.
05:03Full, yep.
05:04Full suitcase and everything, just so she could start training.
05:20She's got the tiara looking very much like a princess.
05:24A very princess-clothed ring gown and tiara.
05:29No matter what you think, people.
05:32Today's match she considers a Cinderella slash Mew-derella versus Mickey Mouse type of match.
05:39She's the one who totaled the upper echelon of Tokyo Joshi that has been there for 10 years.
05:46And has been running Tokyo Joshi since.
05:49You can say a thousand things, you cannot deny that.
05:52She's the one who took the main event's pass from Yamashita, from Nakajima, from Mizuki and from Sakazaki.
06:02They ran that for a long time and she took it.
06:05And now, her name is anonymous, or literally, unanimously.
06:09The championship that she's holding right now.
06:12That's right.
06:12Two years ago, exactly.
06:15She ran princesses one.
06:16She was the challenger right here at the main event.
06:19She beat Miyu Yamashita for the title for her first ring.
06:22This is where it all started right here and ever since.
06:25And she's kind of been the champ.
06:28Yep.
06:28She did lose the title but won it back.
06:30Like, yeah.
06:32I mean, you can ask somebody right now who's the champion of Tokyo Joshi.
06:34That's her.
06:35Her image is what people think of when they think of Tokyo Joshi main event.
06:40That's how you know you're at the top.
06:41Not because you're there.
06:43It's because even if you're not there, people think of you.
06:45I think the slogan, Kawaii Dream Strong, was built for her.
06:49Or with her in mind.
06:51Most likely.
06:52Because she is a very good show of them.
06:56Three words.
06:57Arai's second challenge since last July.
07:00Summer Sun Princess against Mizuki.
07:02Unsuccessful.
07:03This is her second time now.
07:04These two faced each other in the recent months.
07:07You know, Miyu shutting out Arai.
07:09But Arai also tapping Miyu out earlier this month with the scorpion.
07:14Looks like they're facing off pretty squarely, pretty evenly to this point.
07:21Yeah.
07:22Miyu said before in an interview that there was no one really in Tokyo Joshi at the moment that she
07:27thought of as a rival.
07:28And Arai has definitely challenged that idea and put herself forward as Miyu's rival.
07:36Very interesting when you consider Arai didn't even made 2021 in a tag match.
07:42Her partner was Miyu Watanabe herself.
07:45And almost five years removed.
07:48Now they're in the main event at Grand Princess in Ryogoku Sumo Hall.
07:56Crowd very split down the middle for the two.
08:05Here we are.
08:13I think despite the visuals were seeded for what could be a very violent match.
08:20So, you know, very symbolic of one of Arai's comments earlier about not being an idol anymore.
08:25When she graduated from being an idol, she stopped using skirts as a part of her gear.
08:33She started using short pants and, you know, no more big skirts where she thought she was required to wear
08:42as an idol.
08:44Really changed her mindset into being a wrestler.
08:53One of the most vicious headlocks in the entire roster.
08:56Renting in that headlock.
09:05And again.
09:07Oh.
09:08They have each other scouted out very well.
09:14Ooh, got it in two.
09:18Sitting out very early on.
09:20Looking for a figure four.
09:21No.
09:22Indian Deathlock.
09:23That's new.
09:25I think she's building up her moveset to make her finish her scorpion more effective now.
09:34She's been winning more matches with the scorpion as opposed to the final AX kicker.
09:38You don't see Indian Deathlocks quite a lot in the few years.
09:44And it's excruciating.
09:46It's one of the shittiest holes in all of us.
09:49I'm no joke.
09:50Like, if, if, I don't know if Arai will do it or not.
09:52If you just start standing up, you can break people's shin with it.
09:56Yeah.
09:57It's terrible.
09:59I hope Pom's not listening to English commentary because Pom's going to start incorporating that into a moveset.
10:04If she, if she hears anything about breaking shins.
10:08Pom doesn't need it.
10:09She can break and fracture shins without it.
10:15Miu.
10:16Positioning herself in the center.
10:18Very comfortable.
10:19Back and forth these two.
10:21Boot to the face.
10:24Takes her outside.
10:37That was a very well-aimed boot to the face.
10:43I think even Miu is quite surprised by the accuracy of that.
10:48Yeah.
10:54We've seen
10:55been doing very mean things to each other on the apron lately.
10:59Trying to one-up each other.
11:02On the apron.
11:04Off from the apron.
11:06Oh, yeah.
11:08Early tear drop on the floor.
11:12Almost like a snap tear drop there.
11:14Didn't give Arai a chance to defend herself.
11:18I honestly believe the front row is a little scared for their lives.
11:27It's also very inspiring to see Endo, Arisu already cheering on her fellow TJPW mates
11:38after getting her head kicked in so hard just two matches ago.
11:47The count is already at 12.
11:51Favouring the lower back, the impact of the tear drop probably just driving right through
11:57her entire body with the hard floor.
12:12Going straight for that lower back that Arai was favouring.
12:21This is one of Miu's favourite torture techniques here.
12:26Freight.
12:27And this is Miu's favourite torture techniques here.感じ.
12:29Wrenching on that upper body and the top of the knee at the same time to push the body backwards.
12:37What I have noticed as well is when Miu pins someone, she doesn't just pull their leg up,
12:42she pulls it to the side as well, which adds extra pressure to the lower back.
12:46So even when she's pinning them down, she's keeping that pressure up.
12:52And still working on that lower back yet, again with the shoulder tackles.
13:04I mean, you're feeling it with that shoulder tackle.
13:07Just doing whatever the hell she wants.
13:09Really.
13:10That's what it...
13:11She shows the confidence and the awareness of a champion now.
13:16She knows this.
13:17She's been here.
13:19She was here two years ago trying to be what...
13:22UKRI is going to try to do that today.
13:25But she's at the top and the confidence that comes with the champion.
13:32An established champion.
13:38UKRI is the champion.
13:48UKRI has been gaining a lot of confidence leading into this match.
13:52She won the number one contender's match.
13:55Actually tapping Miu Yamashita out.
14:00We shall see how much of that confidence she can retain during this match while she gets thrown around by
14:09Miu Watanabe.
14:14Missile dropkicks from the corner top.
14:18Only two.
14:27Scorpion.
14:32Miu seemingly defending with sheer thigh strength there.
14:37Yep.
14:38He's screaming and refusing to go.
14:46Gets out of the predicament.
14:51Never underestimate Miu's ability to muscle out of something.
14:56Ooh, power swim.
15:04And now goes to fix her ponytail.
15:10Now goes to fix her ponytail.
15:16All righty.
15:18All righty on the watch out.
15:27Gets a boot in, but not enough recovery in the lower back to continue with her offense.
15:38Elbow again to the lower back.
15:47Four arms.
15:48Jumping.
15:48Elbow.
15:49All righty.
15:51All righty.
15:52Start off.
15:52All righty.
15:53All righty.
15:56Go.
15:57Go.
16:03Back with a good measure.
16:07Go.
16:09Go.
16:10Oh, she's going to do, um, goddammit, there's a little bit of that ball, fall away, avalanche power slam from
16:22Miyu Watanabe, deadly damage, again to the lower back,
16:40alright, still able to lift her shoulder, the damage is accumulating, Canadian backbreaker, lift her up, really focusing the damage
17:01to the lower back, everything Miyu's been doing has been perfectly focused in that one position,
17:12oh, batting hammer,
17:16with your right, has been plummeted, and put down, seems to be seeing stars,
17:28and, if nothing changes, you're very close to putting an end to this,
17:39and, oh, giant swing,
17:46grabs the leg,
17:50and again, you're trying to muscle out of the situation,
17:54not letting go.
18:01Alright, good, nice to get through the ropes.
18:05For now, Yukara seems to be in survival mode.
18:09That's all she's been able to manage.
18:15And it seems the wind we need to get anything over on this.
18:20Oh, she's going to climb, putting her on her shoulders.
18:23And climbing easy too.
18:27We have maximum damage with things here.
18:30Oh, wow, look at Rai, finally getting a little bit of a chance here.
18:37She knows she was in danger.
18:41Miyu's on top, but still very strong.
18:44She needs to change this chance into a proper reality if she want anything from here.
18:51If she can't get the up and end here, then…
18:53Oh, Yukara, fantastically going inside.
18:56With the rest of Miyu.
18:58I don't know what's the name.
18:59Miyu Watanabe, going to the back of Miyu Watanabe.
19:05Herself ended up being on the back of the ring.
19:10And if Rai wants something here, she's going to change this one.
19:17The question is, does she have anything in her repertoire?
19:22An offensive move.
19:24With someone on the corner top, getting creative here.
19:26Full Nelson.
19:29Buster.
19:32Deadlift style.
19:35Brings Miyu Watanabe all the way to the center of the ring.
19:38A little bit of show of power from Rai herself.
19:45It's still heaving from the damage.
19:50Both wrestlers unable to get up.
19:54Kiso considering a double knock.
19:57Counts.
19:59Replay of that deadlift that Rai did.
20:03Ugh.
20:16Like I said earlier, all titles on the line at Vegas.
20:20Winner of this match will walk into Vegas as champion defending in Vegas.
20:25J-Rod already named as the next challenger.
20:32It will either be her second challenge against Miyu or against a new champion.
20:37Oh wow.
20:38There was nothing in that elbow.
20:41I don't think she has much left in her tank.
20:48Get stronger tho.
21:03I'm getting good here.
21:22It's like as if Miu is testing Little Rye.
21:27There we go.
21:28And Miu flying.
21:31Little Rye biding her time.
21:35Going directly for the scorpion.
21:42Gets it, middle of the ring.
21:44Sits down.
21:46Same move that made Miu tap out last time.
21:51If she can't move, this might be the end.
21:57Arching back.
22:02Finally getting a hold in her efforts.
22:06She's alive, squeezing everything.
22:07Trying to get in everything.
22:10Miu still seems strong, but you never know.
22:14Doesn't seem like Miu is able to crawl to the ropes.
22:17That is working, you can feel the pain in her face.
22:32Yuki Arai has to capitalize here.
22:46Trying to pull Miu off of the ropes.
22:50Miu trying to buy time.
22:53Grabbing onto the ropes.
22:58Full Nelson buster once again.
23:02But Miu again, muscling her way out of it.
23:07There we go.
23:09Rude force.
23:10Ridiculous.
23:12Absolute monster.
23:15Now what?
23:18Lift her up.
23:20Spinning around like a princess in a ballroom.
23:24Reverse.
23:25Reverse.
23:25Inverted giant swing.
23:32Dropping Arai on her face.
23:35Here she goes.
23:43Here she goes.
23:45Pulling that momentum right back towards herself.
23:49Miu Watanabe.
24:05Miu is struggling.
24:12Oh my goodness.
24:14Spinning brain buster that Arai has been using recently.
24:18Beautiful form on that one.
24:21One of her new favorites.
24:26And once again.
24:30A little bit close to the ropes.
24:34Gets the scorpion in.
24:36Is it close enough?
24:49And now.
24:53This is the second time.
24:55And it is locked.
24:59It is locked.
25:00Using the strength only.
25:02In her arms.
25:04To kind of pull.
25:06The entire body of two wrestlers.
25:07Towards the ropes.
25:09Not an easy task.
25:12But if she's.
25:13If Miu can survive here.
25:15If she can survive here.
25:17What is Arai?
25:19This is the second time.
25:21She has had the submission.
25:22Completely locked in.
25:23In the center.
25:25And getting literally dragged.
25:28Oh.
25:29There we go.
25:31There we go.
25:33There we go.
25:33There we go.
25:34That is what you gotta do.
25:37Alright.
25:37Not letting this get away from her.
25:46having to start from scratch after that long struggle toward the ropes
25:55she's been in that position for a long time now
25:59this is terrible terrible for the champ
26:04we are very close to a new champ here
26:08very close indeed
26:12despite her best efforts Arai could not lock in the submission hold
26:20Aki you were saying what she got left
26:23she does have the finally axe kick
26:26but she hasn't been using it as a finish lately
26:32it's quite uncertain how well that will work in this situation
26:36even if she chooses to go that route
26:38there's a possibility she's been saving it for bigger opponents
26:43right
26:45but she used to beat Max the Impaler
26:49for the first international princess championship ring for her
26:54there she goes
26:55goes for a castle clock right away
26:57not even knew it was coming
27:01literally fighting with that leg strength
27:09beautifully placed
27:14she's gonna go for a rush do not let the champion get a second win
27:21surviving that second would be very difficult
