Fightful Joshi Weekly Wrap (7/19/22)
Scott Edwards wraps up the week in Joshi.
It’s the middle of Joshi summer and things are heating up more and more.
As Joshi continues their busiest month of the year so far, this weekend saw TJPW’s Tokyo Princess Cup begin along with the conclusion of Pro Wrestling WAVE’s Catch The Wave tournament and STARDOM finishing up its final shows before the double-header of pay-per-views this upcoming weekend and the beginning of the 5STAR Grand Prix next weekend.
The biggest news of the weekend was Nagisa Nozaki having to relinquish the Regina di WAVE Championship, leading her to relinquish the title and remove herself from the Catch The Wave Final. As a result, Miyuki Takase, the 2021 Catch The Wave winner, faced Suzu Suzuki to be the 2022 Catch The Wave winner and new Regina di WAVE Champion.
Full results and highlights from this past weekend’s Joshi shows are below.
