1. Falls Count Anywhere 6-Woman Tag Match: Rika Tatsumi, Arisu Endo & Suzume defeated Miu Watanabe, Raku & Pom Harajuku when Tatsumi pinned Harajuku with the Missile Hip From The Sofa (13:12).
A special kind of Falls Count Anywhere match took place today inside a children’s book shop. But before the match could take place, each wrestler took the time to read a different book to all of the children in attendance. Then when they all had their turn, mats were laid out on the floor for the match to begin. The match quickly spilled around the shop where Rika Tatsumi found the café and took a break to order a hot chocolate. Miu Watanabe tried to take it off her but Tatsumi took it back and choked Watanabe while drinking. Raku kept trying to read while she was wrestling the match and took inspiration from a book about Giant Baba to fire herself up into giving everyone Overhead Chops. Both Suzume & Arisu Endo jumped off the sofas to dive onto Watanabe & Raku. Tatsumi then ran across the sofa to hit Pom Harajuku with the Missile Hip for the victory.
After the match Tatsumi celebrated by telling everyone she successfully defended the Iron Man Heavymetalweight Title even though according to her it was never on the line in the first place. Everyone who took part said they were happy to read books to everyone, even Harajuku who as a three year old usually has books read to her rather than the other way around. Raku then advised everyone to get plenty of sleep before tomorrow’s Tokyo Joshi Pro show at Korakuen Hall.
Things almost went pear shaped for Tatsumi before the event began. Earlier in the day she decided to relax by reading a picture book about the baseball player Shohei Ohtani. She ended up falling asleep with the book resting on top of her so when the referee entered the room, he thought she was being pinned and counted to three. The new champion was now “Let’s Play Baseball! The Story of Shohei Ohtani 2025 Special Edition” but Tatsumi then woke up. When she realized what happened, she read through every page of the book as quickly as she could. When she was done, the referee declared she had defeated the book and was therefore the champion again.
