It’s Princess Cup time, and I am putting all my chips on it being Miu’s year. If history teaches us anything, that means you should probably bet on someone else, but hey, you never know!

I’m going to get this out of the way early: the video quality, framerate and audio on this show weren’t fantastic. I’m assuming the Wi-Fi in the venue couldn’t handle the stream.

Guess what, folks? It’s Mio time. After far too long, the best wrestler in the world is finally back, and if you can’t tell, I’m kinda excited. Mio was in a league of her own before her injury, and wrestling is infinitely better with her around, so let’s stop blabbing and get to the comeback.

With CyberFest out of the way, TJPW was back to being on their lonesome with another trip to Korakuen. Thanks to the big show, this had a bit of an interrupted build, but we’ve still got ourselves a hell of a main event as Shoko tried to complete the double over Yuka and claim the tag titles. Could she do it? Let’s find out.

Day two of Marvelous’s trip to Hokkaido was the big one, with the main event seeing Rin Kadokura and Itsuki Aoki defend their AAAW Tag Titles for the first time. Would they be able to hold onto the belts? Or would the young team of Riko Kawahata and Maria pull off the upset? Let’s find out.

Road trip! Marvelous travelled north to spend their weekend in Sapporo, delivering a couple of shows while they were at it. That means we’re getting a rare back-to-back Marvelous treat, which sounds like a lovely old time to me.
