RISE Grand Prix 2020 Night 1

Location: Ota-Ward Gymnasium in Tokyo, Japan

Date: August 18th, 2020

Undercard:

- April Song and Aoi Kitamura defeated Machiko Hasegawa and Spring TORA

Post-match: In a weird case of post-match interview antics, Aoi reveals to April that she is her favorite wrestler and she would like to tag with her for the rest of her tour.

- Jessica Rose and Julia Zhang defeated Mizuki Nakata and Sara Ashiya

Main Card:

Match 1

Sora Todoh [0] defeated Ai Moe [0]

This year’s GP opening match was between two fan favorites, Sora Todoh and Ai Moe had the Ota-Ward crowd equally behind them. It was fast-paced and non-stop action from the two underdogs but unfortunately for Ai Moe, her neck that she hurt against SAIKO was the target that Sora Todoh needed to put her down with a Shin-Ryu Suplex after 10 minutes.

Match 2

Midori Miyamoto [0] defeated Makiya Kusanagi [0]

With JUNKO’s refusal to take part in this year’s tournament, Makiya Kusanagi was selected to fill in for the JET World Champion as a last minute entry. She was impressive in her GP debut but the former JET World Champion was on top of her game. Being eliminated in a double countout must have ticked off Midori in the wrong way. Just as Makiya was going to secure a win with a Mountain Bomb, Midori countered, slipping behind and nailing Kusanagi with a Catalyst Shift ending the match after 11 minutes

Match 3

Q w/Rei Kagura [0] defeated Masumi Tsutsumi w/Narumi [0]

Two of JET’s premier strikes face to face as both Q and Masumi spent the majority of the match taking one another down with big kicks and strikes. They both had support in the corner but that resulted in Narumi getting face to face with and getting into an argument. As Masumi was distracted, Q got an O’Connor Roll for a cheap win over Masumi.

Match 4

Vivina Wolfe [0] defeated Yuki Takigawa [0]

In Yuki Takigawa’s first GP match in over three years, it was a huge moment for the former JET World Champion to start the tournament right but she ran into Vivina Wolfe who was ready to break out as a singles competitor. Because of their multiple tag bouts against one another they knew each other so well but Yuki wasn’t able to seal the win as Vivina won with a Whitechapel Massacre!

Semi-Main

NAMI [0] defeated Talia Areano [0]

With her impressive showing against Rei Kagura, NAMI was selected for this year’s RISE GP. She took on Talia Areano who was making her return to JET after missing out the last two tours. Both had a huge chance to showcase themselves in this semi-main. After 15 minutes of great in-ring action with multiple nearfalls, the match ended as NAMI countered a Slice of Heaven by Talia off at the last second. She followed it up with a DOUBLE and immediately landed a PLASTIC SURGERY to seal the win.

Main Event

Azumi Goto [0] defeated IZM [0]

JET’s Co-Chairwoman took on the new JET Academy Championship IZM in their first ever matchup. The Tokyo crowd was behind IZM more as she has become one of JET’s pillars with her fighting spirit. Azumi’s experience played an early edge as she worked on IZM’s neck, the same one that Amy Slayton worked on but the Academy Champion fought hard. The Ota-Ward crowd was cheering loudly for IZM to fight back, and once that comeback came in. IZM went in laying into Azumi Goto. A Roaring Elbow nearly sealed a win for IZM but Azumi kicked out. IZM went in for a running Rolling Elbow but Azumi countered with a huge dropkick. A few more signature moves continued to be thrown around by IZM and Azumi until JET’s Celestial Genius countered a Jade Shoro Bomb attempt into a Red Heart II. Azumi soon saw the end as she dragged IZM closer towards a corner and nailed her with a Path Of Heaven Moonsault!

Post-Match:

As “Day of Fate” plays, Azumi helps IZM up to her feet. Almost like a proud older sibling, Azumi patted IZM’s head and said some kind words for the Academy Champion. IZM nodded and left the ring, Azumi was handed a mic.

“Oh my goodness! That was quite amazing, IZM is really strong… isn’t that right Ota-Ward?”

The crowd cheered as Azumi continued.

“21 and so much fighting spirit. IZM-chan, keep growing strong! Now did you all enjoy JET and my performance tonight?”

Another round of cheers from the fans in attendance.

“Good! Just because I work in an office most of the time I’m in JET, it doesn’t mean I’m any less of a wrestler! This year’s RISE GP has a phrase along with it right? Show Your Fire, I think I just showed that tonight! And as time passes with each and every round of the tournament, I will continue to show it over and over until I win this year’s GP! And will I main event Cinderella Story 15 if I win? That’s to be determined but thank you all for coming out and enjoying the show! ”

“As I once you used to say all the time… Forever and ever! CONTINUE TO LOVE PRO-WRESTLING!”

RISE GP 2020 Night 2

Location: Ota-Ward Gymnasium in Tokyo, Japan

Date: August 19th, 2020

Undercard:

Masumi Tsutsumi, IZM, and Spring TORA defeated Midori Miyamoto, Sora Todoh, and Amalia Martinez

Post-match: Midori wasn’t in the mood to talk with Sora and said Sora needed to get much stronger still.

Vivina Wolfe, Saya Okita, and NAMI defeated Yuki Takigawa, Ai Moe, and Aoi Kitamura

Main Card:

Match 1:

Natsu Toyama [0] defeated Hanna Rockford [0]

The first match of B-Block was set and right from the word go, these two competed in a frantic pace. With only fifteen minutes, Natsu and Hanna went in to steal the show. High speed action only to be finished after 11 minutes with a Final Answer from Natsu, Hanna attempting to land a Gen-Z Knee got her in trouble multiple times.

Match 2:

Rio Kurokawa [0] defeated Megan Enders [0]

The powerhouse Enders had a huge opportunity to upset the top seeded Rio Kurokawa. The JET National Champion has been riding a wave of momentum unlike anyone in JET since winning her championship at Cinderella Story. Even with her more cold attitude towards others, Rio had the respect of her peers and the fans. Enders had been with JET but hadn’t been able to break out but saw this tournament as her chance. She nearly had a win but powerbomb but the champion countered with a hurricanrana, one Catalyst Toll and Ketsueki Toll later Rio had her arm raised in victory.

Match 3:

April Song [0] defeated Machiko Hasegawa [0]

Lethal Angel’s April Song made her JET debut against Machiko Hasegawa. Of course like most matches, Machiko had the size advantage over her foe. An interesting matchup as April’s quick combination of moves did the same amount of damage as one big maneuver from Machiko. The Brave Falcon soon found a target to work on in the form of Machiko’s right arm. This made it impossible for Machiko to lift April up without feeling immense pain. But almost as if she was fighting through every pain, Machiko fought back and nearly had it won with a Shotput Chokeslam but in the end all it took was a Swan Song followed up by a Honeypot Special for the submission win.

Match 4:

Bethany Sharpe [0] defeated Amy Slayton [0]

After losing her Academy Championship in her first defense, it seemed to have the former champion on the edge during her match with Bethany Sharpe who was coming off another big defense and importantly for her, a win over her personal rival Sakuya Goto. Both seemed to be drawing negative reactions from the crowd during the match but they had a competitive match that lasted a long while, it ended with B-Flat from Sharpe who got her first win of the GP.

Semi-Main:

SAIKO w/Julia Zhang [0] defeated Momoko Honda [0]

In the semi-main is a rematch from last year’s GP. Momoko Honda last year was able to get a huge win on then block leader but now since Pro-Wrestling Festival Momoko has struggled. She didn’t win the Gauntlet match at Goddess Dream and looks to rebound with a GP win. Meanwhile SAIKO is coming off a HUGE win and now could hold a future National/Academy title match and World Title match. The match was fast paced but SAIKO was in control for most of it, Momoko did make her comeback and nearly got the win with a Tsunami Strike. Attempt for a Happy Landing was thwarted because of Zhang at ringside which resulted in SAIKO taking advantage and ending the match with a Psycho Impaler

Main Event:

Jessica Rose [0] defeated Mizuki Nakata [0]

The Ace was still feeling hurt after her brutal deathmatch with JUNKO, bandages wrapped around the back of her neck and shoulder which Rose targeted for the whole match. She was getting confident in her own good but for good reason as Mizuki was still in major pain even after 17 days of rest. The Corrupted Light attempted for a Rose Trigger but The Ace countered and began her comeback that the crowd was fully behind. During the match every attempt by Mizuki to go for a Lanikea was blocked or countered by Jessica and the most brutal one was the one near the match where she was able to twist herself around and land a reverse frankensteiner. Jessica soon followed up with a Rose Trigger and a second one for good measure to get a HUGE win over The Ace of JET and making it 3-0 for DESPERADOS in Round 1 of the GP.

---

Post Match:

The crowd was not having it as they booed Jessica who picked up the mic and mocked Mizuki’s signature style of closing shows.

“OTA-WARD!!! DESPERADOS HAVE STOLEN THE SHOW AGAIN!!!”

A loud negative reaction followed up by a crowd chanting for Stephanie did nothing as Jessica just laughed.

“She won’t be here because she doesn’t care about you all, just like how she didn’t care about me! BUT YOU KNOW WHO DID?! DESPERADOS! You know what else!? DESPERADOS OWNS THIS PROMOTION! JUNKO is JET World Champion, SAIKO has a free National or Academy Title Match set in stone and once I win GP, I’ll have this tournament!”

“I beat your broken Ace, she’s nothing now! She couldn’t stop us, just like how all of you can’t stop me from winning the RISE Grand Prix!”

“Low LIfe” by Crobot plays as Jessica tosses her mic with a spin and laughs as she walks out of the ring, ending the show on the sour note.

RISE Grand Prix 2020 Night 3

Location: Korakuen Hall

Date: August 22nd, 2020

Under Card:

- April Song and Aoi Kitamura defeated Mizuki Nakata and Sara Ashiya

- DESPERADOS (Julia Zhang, Jessica Rose, and SAIKO) vs. Hanna Rockford, Natsu Toyama, and Spring TORA

Main Card:

Talia Areano [0] defeated Yuki Takigawa [0]

With both of them taking losses in their first matches, both wanted to win this match. Both only had fifteen minutes to get a win and in the end after everything, after brutal bumps Talia was able to nail Yuki with a Slice of Heaven after 10 minutes.

Makiya Kusanagi [0] defeated Vivina Wolfe [2]

Both coming away with different results in round one, now it was chance for either Vivina Wolfe to set the pace with four points or Makiya to get a huge first win. The match saw Wolfe in control after targeting her opponent’s knee this resulted in a lot of Makiya’s momentum being halted but she soon got in her big fiery comeback which ended with a Mountain Bomb and Kusanagi getting a huge win over one-half of the JET Tag Champs.

NAMI [2] defeated Ai Moe [0]

Similar to the last match both had different results in their first match, NAMI got her first major GP win over Talia Areano but now faced another challenge in former JET Academy Championship. It was the typical affair as both former idols from different businesses were getting different kinds of crowd receptions. The match saw NAMI in control but Ai Moe nearly had her big win until NAMI countered with a Schoolboy Pin. When Ai did kick out she was on her knees and IMMEDIATELY got hit with a Velvet for NAMI to get a win over a former champion.

Azumi Goto [2] defeated Q w/Rei Kagura [2]

Once again another Q match resulted in a kicking match, fierce strikes from DESPERADOS members weren’t enough as Azumi Goto once known for her own strikes fought back. Surprisingly Rei Kagura didn’t intervene as Q’s opponent was her own mentor. This seemed to have gotten Q mad over her stablemate but the match rolled on. Q had near falls but Azumi was able to counter Q's Landing by slipping behind and nailing her with a Dragon Suplex. Azumi followed it up with a Last Surprise and then a Path Of Heaven for the win.

Masumi Tsutsumi [0] defeated Sora Todoh [2]

Having already done better than her run last year, Sora Todoh was on a new high going into this match with Masumi Tsutsumi. Sora’s high flying offense was on display along with Masumi’s precise and powerful strikes. Even though Sora put on a valiant effort, Tsutsumi’s impactful strikes was too much and after a Master Sword followed by Sunset Densetsu to seal the win and get on the board.

Midori Miyamoto [2] defeated IZM [0]

In the main event, JET Academy Champion IZM battled former JET World Champion Midori Miyamoto. IZM came off a loss to JET co-chairwoman Azumi Goto, she was in the mood to not go 0-2 while Midori Miyamoto looked to continue and keep up with block leaders NAMI and Azumi Goto. Both Midori and IZM went all out in their attempts to try and win this match, with nearfalls a plenty during this bout. The main event experience of Midori paid off big time for her as she was able to get a win by nailing IZM with a Catalyst Shift to go up 2-0.

Post-Match:

Midori begins to pick herself off the ground following a hard fought victory. She takes a couple of moments to breathe before she asks for a microphone. It isn’t long before one is procured.

Midori Miyamoto: There are a lot of big names in the tournament this year. And a majority of them are here in my block. Because of that, I know that people may try and count me out. However, I want to remind the world of two things.

She holds up two fingers.

Midori Miyamoto: One? I just beat the JET Academy Champion. And two? That brings my record to two and zero.

Midori walks around a little as she speaks.

Midori Miyamoto: IZM? You gave me an amazing fight. Thank you for that. And please understand that it isn’t personal. But you have to understand that my primary goal is to win the RISE GP. And I’m willing to run through everyone to do that. Why? Because me and the World Championship have been separated for a while. And honestly? I miss her.

Midori sets the microphone down as “Ashes” by Lynch. begins to play throughout the arena. She takes her time exiting the ring.

RISE Grand Prix 2020 Night 4

Location: Korakuen Hall

Date: August 23rd, 2020

Undercard:

- Azumi Goto and Satsuki Fujioka defeated Sora Todoh and Spring TORA

- Q and Julia Zhang defeated IZM and Sara Ashiya

- NAMI, Vivina Wolfe, and Saya Okita defeated Midori Miyamoto, Masumi Tsutsumi, and Emiko Takase

Main Card:

Megan Enders [0] defeated Amy Slayton [0]

With both standing with zero points, both of them had to do everything they could to win their second match and keep up with the winners of Round 1. Megan Enders fought off every bit of Amy’s offense. She was able to counter a Devil Trigger with a Spinebuster followed by a HUGE powerbomb for her to get a win over the former Academy Champion.

Jessica Rose w/ Rei Kagura.[2] defeated Hanna Rockford [0]

Another battle of Gaijins, Jessica Rose and Hanna Rockford both had similar wrestling styles and this gave the crowd a fast pace match for all to see. Unfortunately Jessica used dirty tactics throughout the whole match and with the help of Rei Kagura on her side, Jessica was able to take advantage with a Rose Trigger for the win.

Rio Kurokawa [2] defeated Machiko Hasegawa [0]

JET National Champion Rio Kurokawa took on powerhouse and Academy Champion number 1 contender Machiko Hasegawa. The match saw Rio’s kicks being matched by Machiko’s chops but the injured right arm from her match with April Song came into play. A barrage of strikes, suplexes and finally a Kowareta Armbar ended the match with a Rio getting a submission win over Machiko and improving to 2-0

Momoko Honda [0] defeated Bethany Sharpe w/Vivina Wolfe [2]

A first time match up as Momoko took on Bethany Sharpe who had her tag partner by her side. Wolfegang used any chance to take advantage during the match but Momoko Honda fought back. The crowd were fully behind the former Academy Champion as she was able to fight back. After nearly going the full fifteen minute time limit they were allowed, Momoko got the win as she countered a Grand Finale attempt into an Earth Quaker.

SAIKO [2] defeated Natsu Toyama [2]

Both SAIKO and Natsu were coming off wins in their first round but that meant that only one of them would be able to tie with Rio Kurokawa as the block leader. Natsu and SAIKO went all out in the match as they did everything to put the other down. With twenty minutes to finish this match, DESPERADOS second-in-command and JET’s Second Generation Goddess threw it all on the line. The match ended with SAIKO nailing Natsu with a Psycho Impaler to end the match.

April Song [2] defeated Mizuki Nakata [0]

In the main event, the Ace of JET took on LAW’s Brave Falcon in their first ever singles match but there is minor history here as April Song is known for her bouts with Azumi Goto. Mizuki was still dealing with her neck issues and April went to work targeting it. The Korakuen crowd was still somehow 50-50 for this match but it soon cheered for Mizuki as she made her comeback. The Ace nearly had it won after a Nakata Family Exploder Suplex but April kicked it. Mizuki, still sluggish in her movement, attempted to end it by heading to the top rope for a Hyperion but April followed her and was able to put a stop to it. A HUGE AVALANCHE SWAN SONG wasn’t even but the end soon arrived with a Brave Bird!

Post Match:

A triumphant but tired April Song stands in the ring, taking in the chanting of the fans as she catches her breath before speaking.

“KORAKUEN….DID YOU HAVE SOME FUN TONIGHT!?”

April smiles as she hears the cheers to the affirmative, a small smattering of chants breaking out before the crowd settles down to hear her.

“First, I do have to ask, what the hell do you guys feed the girls here? Machiko was a hard first opponent to deal with and the task didn’t get any easier tonight, buuuut...Two wins, four points, AND I’M ENJOYING EVERY SECOND OF IT!”

The crowd claps appreciatively as April leans on the ropes, still trying to recover from her match.

“I’m getting too old for this. I’ll be thirty-five soon. I started wrestling late, VERY late by the standard here in Japan, but I’m glad that I did. I’m glad to be able to show what I can do every night in rings like this and I’m glad that places like J-ROK and JET have asked me to compete, even if it’s for tournaments like this. A few months ago in the King of Hokkaido tournament I was so, so close to the final. I could taste it after I started hot...then I had a little lull midway through that cost me a spot in the final. THAT IS NOT GOING TO HAPPEN HERE! I plan on getting through anyone and anything that gets put in front of me. This whole year has been hard for so many reasons, but professionally it’s been frustrating. I lost the title that meant so much to me in OWA and my efforts have come up just short in gaining some new glory, but as sure as I’m standing in this ring, I WILL BE THE LAST WOMAN STANDING WHEN THE RISE GP IS OVER! And there is one person I want more than anybody else in the final….

AZUUUUUUUUMIIIIIIIIIII!!!!”

The crowd roars as the look in April’s eyes quite fierce, if only for a few moments.

“We have other fights and a long way to go still, but know that I’m watching every fight you have. Know that I’ve NEVER forgotten what you kept me from achieving at Clash of the Titans a year ago. You know I may forgive, but I never forget. Keep that in mind and get your ass to the final. I’ll be waiting.”

With the crowd chanting her name once more, April smiles before standing in the middle of the ring.

“Not bad for an old hag, huh? I can’t let my new top fan Aoi down and I won’t let any of you down either. That’s all!”

Date: August 25th, 2020

Under Card:

- Vivace Fortissimo defeated Emiko Takase

- Tani Yamanaka, Megan Enders and Hanna Rockford defeated Aoi Kitamura, Machiko Hasegawa, and April Song

- SAIKO, Jessica Rose and Julia Zhang defeated Sara Ashiya, Mizuki Nakata and Natsu Toyama

Main Card:

Talia Areano [2] defeated Makiya Kusanagi [2]

Excellent opener from Talia and Makiya as both looked to move up to four points and close the gap between them and the block leaders. Both fought through each other’s offense but in the end Talia’s speed and agility got the better of Makiya who fell to a Slice of Heaven. Areano catches up to the current block leaders with a 2-1 record.

Masumi Tsutsumi [2] defeated NAMI [4]

In the next match of the contest, intense striker Masumi Tsutsumi took on the beautiful rookie NAMI. Nami had a huge reach advantage and she used that range to nail some powerful big boots. Masumi was able to close the distance and nail her big strikes. That was the story, NAMI might have the more powerful offense but Masumi’s precise and excellent strikes got the better of NAMI as she fell to Sunset Densetsu for the win.

Ai Moe [0] defeated Yuki Takigawa [0]

With both of them having zero points, one of them was going to get their first GP points and both tried their hardest tonight but lady luck was on Ai’s side as she ended the match after 10 minutes with a Love Is A Battlefield for her first two points. In the post match, Ai seemed relieved as she talked about how she could never get a good start in GP but comes so close to winning each year. She says that this will be her and she’ll make sure of it.

IZM [0] defeated Q [2]

The JET Academy Champion took on a potential future challenger in Q as the champ had been struggling to get any kind of win after her championship win at Goddess Dream. The commentators pointed out that maybe the neck injury from her title match with Amy Slayton has been flaring up. This showed as IZM was in constant pain due to Q’s attack on the back of her neck but The Roaring Spirit kept going as she fought back and was able to finally get on board this GP with a Jade Shoro Bomb.

Vivina Wolfe [2] defeated Midori Miyamoto [4]

In the semi-main of this year’s GP KBS Hall show, Midori Miyamoto took on Vivina Wolfe. The Hybrid Dragon fought valiantly in the early going but Wolfe was able to get in a brutal chop block to the back of Midori’s right leg. From there Vivina went all in on her attack of Midori’s leg. The former JET World Champion was able to make her comeback as she almost had it won with a Phantom Night. The match ended as Midori missed a Shattercryst, one more brutal chop block to the back of her leg and a White Chapel Massacre sealed it for Vivina Wolfe.

Sora Todoh [2] defeated Azumi Goto [4]

In a first time ever match up, generations collide as Sora took on Azumi Goto. The match was fast pace and electric as Azumi Goto was able to keep pace with her younger opponent. Azumi was able to get control in this match as she worked on Sora’s right arm. The KBS crowd was surprisingly behind Sora over Azumi who has ties to the city. Sora made her fiery comeback with kicks and springboard moves but it was cut off by Azumi who nailed a Snap Dragon Suplex followed by a Last Surprise which got a two count only. Azumi proceeded to hit a Red Heart II but again Todoh kicked out. Azumi signaled the end by heading to the top rope for a Path of Heaven but she missed the moonsault as Sora rolled out of the just in time. Todoh had a huge opportunity as she nailed Azumi with a Greased Lightning to the back of her head followed by a Shin-Ryu Suplex!

SORA JUST BEAT AZUMI GOTO IN WHAT COULD BE CONSIDERED A MONUMENTAL UPSET.

Post-Match:

An exhausted Sora stumbles to the edge of the ring where she asks for a mic. She takes it and walks over to Azumi while pointing at her.

“Matsuda-sensei is right, you’re one tough customer. Geez, you hit so hard…”

The audience laughs as Sora bends over while trying to catch her breath.

“So...hard. You’re the boss for a reason, huh?”

Sora raises her body and turns to the crowd.

“This woman has given everything for us, and for JET. Forgive me Matsuda-sensei, but Azumi Goto is the heart of JET! I aim to be mean as much to this place as you do!”

Sora leads the crowd in applause as they begin chanting the promotion owner’s name.

“Even though you sign our checks You’re not afraid to get in here and fight us! Every battle you lay it all on the line just like you’re about to do soon in America! Well, I wish you good fortune - WE AT KYOTO BUDOKAN WISH YOU WELL!”

Sora raises her fist in the air as the crowd grows quiet. Azumi looks legitimately confused at what’s going on. Satsuki Fujioka, Azumi’s second, wanders over ringside to Sora and whispers in her ear. The Shooting Star stumbles back in confusion.

“EH!? Uh...yeah! Let me get a redo ladies and gentlemen! Uh...WE AT KBS HALL WISH YOU WELL!”

The crowd erupts in cheers as Sora and Azumi laugh amongst themselves.

“I might be a little behind in geography, but I know for a fact that you are the lifeblood of this place. You’re not afraid to put it all pout there which will inspire me to do this...MIDORI!! MIYAMAMOTO-SAAAAAAN!!!”

Midori walks out with a smug look on her face. She crosses her arms as she seems like she knows what Sora is going to say next. Sora points at Miyamoto as she continues to speak.

“Speaking of laying it all on the line, I want to do the same with you! One day soon we will meet in this ring and I will beat you! You are the standard of JET and I want to shatter that ceiling! So, will you accept my challenge! It doesn’t have to be now, but you and I...we have unfinished business “sweets”.”

An eager grin appears on Sora’s face as the crowd gasps at her using one of her mentor’s catchphrases. Midori simply just shrugged and made her way to the back. Chuckling to herself, Sora helps up Azumi and leads her to the center of the ring.

“Tonight was the fifth night of our Grand Prix! With your support, JET! WILL! RISE!”

Sora hopped up and down a little as the crowd started to become more excited.

“My name is Sora Todoh, future Ace of JET! Beside me is Azumi Goto, Ace of Wrestling! We want to thank you for coming out tonight and come back for night six! CHECK! IT! OUT!”

Sora points at the sky, proud of her new catchphrase, as her theme plays. She and Azumi hug in the center of the ring as fans threw their last set of streamers into the ring.

RISE Grand Prix 2020 Night 6

Location: KBS Hall in Kyoto

Date: August 26th, 2020

Undercard:

- Nami and DESPERADOS (Q and Julia Zhang) defeated Satsuki Fujioka, Azumi Goto and Midori Miyamoto

- IZM and Saya Okita defeated Sora Todoh and Spring TORA

- Aoi Kitamura, Tani Yamanaka and Masumi Tsutsumi defeated Sara Ashiya, Chloe Eastend, and Yuki Takigawa

Main Card:

Megan Enders [2] defeated Machiko Hasegawa [0]

In a power vs power matchup, both were giving they had right from the start of the bell. Machiko had the advantage of her powerful chops but this sudden run of poor form continued for Machiko as her own attempt at winning with a Powerbomb was countered by one from Enders which sealed the win for her.

April Song [4] defeated Hanna Rockford [0]

Block leader April Song took another young JET talent in Hanna Rockford who was hungry to walk away with a win tonight. The match saw April trying to keep up with Hanna and Rockford doing everything in her power to get the win but even after throwing everything but she was trapped in Pervuian Necktie and was forced to submit. Post-match, Hanna seemed extremely disappointed in herself as she talked about her next match is going to be against Rio Kurokawa and she needed to step up for it.

Amy Slayton [0] defeated Momoko Honda [2]

In a rematch of their classic at Pro-Wrestling Festival, Momoko Honda took on Amy Slayton. The former Academy Champions were looking for a bit of breathing room as they tried to keep up with the block leaders. The match was fierce as both tried to kick the soul out of one another.and again Amy Slayton had Momoko’s number as she was able to counter an Earth Quaker into a Devil’s Dance for the win.

SAIKO [4] defeated Jessica Rose [4]

In an act of disrespect this match never got going as Jessica immediately laid down and SAIKO pressed a finger down on her stablemate's chest for a win. Neither putting any kind of effort.

Mizuki Nakata [0] defeated Rio Kurokawa [4]

In a rematch from last year’s GP, The Ace of JET took Rio Kurokawa. It seems that Mizuki was feeling much better now as she took on JET National Champion. Both women were familiar to one another and they got acquainted once again, The Ace was able to get a great amount of offense but Rio was able to turn it around on Mizuki and take control. It was all Rio as the Kyoto crowd cheered on Mizuki. The Ace of JET fought back as she and Rio Kurokawa nearly went the distance in this twenty minute match but Mizuki was able to hit a Lanikea to Rio and get her first win on the board.

Bethany Sharpe [2] defeated Natsu Toyama [2]

Last year both women fought to a draw to the surprise of everyone and you bet that neither wanted to another draw. Similar to her tag partner, Bethany has shown brilliance as a singles wrestler and has singles gold to prove it. Sharpe and Toyama of course feuded over the JET Tag titles in the two great matches between Dream TAG and Wolfegang Symphony. Both knew one another quite so it would come down to who could find that right counter and tonight it was Bethany Sharpe as she ended the match with a brutal Grand Finale for the win.

Main Card:

Masumi Tsutsumi [4] defeated Yuki Takigawa [0]

In the first contest of these first of four Osaka tour shows, Masumi Tsutsumi took on former JET World Champion Yuki Takigawa. The Moonlight Flash hasn’t exactly gotten on the right start unlike her opponent who sits at the top of the leader block. The match had fiery kicks from both competitors but Yuki couldn’t handle the force of Masumi’s kicks and fell to a Sunset Densetsu.

Sora Todoh [4] defeated IZM [2]

Currently in the form of her life, Sora Todoh was coming off a HUGE win over Azumi Goto and looked to continue her momentum. She fought all throughout the match and did everything she could but IZM’s valiant come back soon shifted the match in the champion’s favor. Just as it looked like IZM had the match in the bag, Sora was able to slip behind and roll up the Academy Champion.

Ai Moe [2] defeated Makiya Kusanagi [2]

With both currently standing at a record of 1-2, this was the chance that both women needed to break out. Makiya’s strength played a big part in this match’s early stages but Ai Moe kept fighting. Just as she has done so many times before, she kept pushing and was able to secure a hard fought victory with Love Is A Battlefield!

Talia Areano [4] defeated Vivina Wolfe [4]

In an interesting match both competitors were 2-1 going into this match and used this chance to get the lead over the block. A chance for both to catch up with Masumi Tsutsumi and Sora Todoh. It was fast paced and electric right from the start, even with Wolfe’s dirty tactics, Talia fought through it all and sealed a win with Slice of Heaven to move to 6 points.

NAMI [4] defeated Azumi Goto [4]

Just like the match before them, this was a huge chance for both to catch up to the competitors with six points. But also this acted as NAMI’s biggest match to date, a singles match with Azumi Goto. The Osaka star was getting positive reactions from the hometown crowd even though she is known for being hated by most. And to the surprise of everyone in the building, NAMI was able to get a huge win as she landed two VELVET kicks but it wasn’t enough. What was enough was the PLASTIC SURGERY knee strike that came after.

Q w/Rei Kagura [2] defeated Midori Miyamoto [4]

Unlike her two faction members in B Block, Q was struggling to get wins as she was 1-2 at the moment. The former undefeated star had a huge task ahead of her as she had beat one of the longest reigning JET World Champions in history. Q and Midori went at it for the entire match as there was no slow moment in this action packed main event. Just as it looked like Rei was there for support, she pulled at Midori’s leg as the former JET World Champion went for a running Sliding Knee. This distracted Midori and Q took advantage with a fierce boot to the back of her head. She followed it up with a Q’s Landing for a huge win in the main of tonight’s show.

Post-Match:

With the chances to close the show, Q just went all out in making sure that the crowd hated her. She was getting the best kinds of negative reactions. She told everyone that DESPERADOS practically owns this company. To end it off she told that she wouldn’t use her GP to challenge for the JET World Title but rather get a rematch with Rio Kurokawa for the National Title.

Mizuki Nakata [2] defeated Machiko Hasegawa [0]

The Ace of JET vs. The Powerhouse Machiko Hasegawa. It was unique as Mizuki is strong but this would be the first time that she paled in comparison to another woman’s strength.

Hanna Rockford [0] defeated Rio Kurokawa [4]

Hanna Rockford at the biggest task ahead of her, she had to beat Rio Kurokawa. The Tiny Dragon has made it known that she isn’t intending to lose.

Natsu Toyama [2] defeated Amy Slayton [2]

With both having a record of 1-2, this was the chance for one of them to catch to the people with four points. Natsu Toyama took on former Academy Champion Amy Slayton. Both have faced one another in the past. So they were no slouch as they went at full pace right from the star. The match ended after 12 minutes with Natsu getting the win with a Final Answer Suplex.

Jessica Rose [4] defeated Bethany Sharpe [4]

With the two undefeated block stars fighting in the main event, this match was about who can catch up to them and in the first time ever it was Jessica Rose versus Bethany Sharpe. Both were getting negative reactions from the crowd but the two wrestled an absolute clinic. Both former LAW Alumn had what could be considered a match of the night with a well done technical match and it ended with Jessica slipping out of a Grand Finale attempt. She soon nailed a Rose Trigger to the jaw of Bethany and then one more for good measure to end it.

SAIKO [6] defeated April Song [6]

Both of them being undefeated, the match would determine who would be leading the way for the block. It was DESPERADOS’ second-in-command SAIKO against LAW’s Brave Falcon. The match was a technical masterclass as both competitors nearly went the distance in terms of time given to them. Both threw everything but in the end a ref bump followed by Rei Kagura coming out from the back to distract April helped SAIKO as she was able to get April trapped and nail a Psycho Impaler.

Post-Match:

The closing promo for the show started with the most sadistic laugh from SAIKO as the Mob Psycho was enjoying herself after this win. The DESPERADOS second-in-command got a microphone and let it be known that she was better than everyone in the whole block. And she intends to go undefeated.

It ended with her calling out her old rival Zuki aka Mizuki Nakata, she wanted more blood filled battles against The Ace of JET.

Ai Moe [4] defeated Vivina Wolfe [4]

Both competitors are competing for the first time against one another. In an interesting match up as both of them would like to keep up in this year’s GP. Vivina Wolfe as she has done so many times before used dirty tactics to get the upper hand and nearly get the win on multiple occasions but JET’s Underdog Ai Moe kept fighting and pushing as she eventually won with Love Is A Battlefield.

Q [4] defeated Sora Todoh [6]

With Sora’s confidence being at an all time high, she went into this match with all the momentum in the world but her opponent was coming off one of the biggest wins of her JET tenure. Q took on the young Todoh and controlled a good portion of this match but the young star fought back and kept going. This match reached a high action pace and ended as Sora missed a Sky Twister attempt which resulted in Q taking the advantage and nailing her with Q’s Lament for the win.

Makiya Kusanagi [2] defeated Masumi Tsutsumi [6]

Block leader Masum Tsutsumi took on Makiya Kusanagi in another first ever singles match. Both have history as they made their JET debut at the same time and as tag partners no less. It was all Masumi through this match but Makiya fought back well. The lethal kicks of Tsutsumi played a huge role in this match. Both competitors went for nearly 15 minutes and the end saw Makiya blocking a buzzsaw kick before grabbing a hold of the leg. Makiya was able to lift Tsutsumi up and slam her down with a HUGE Mountain Bomb for the win.

Midori Miyamoto [4] defeated Talia Areano [6]

With a win tonight here tonight Talia could cement herself at the top of the block with 8 points and make it hard for Midori to come back from this losing streak. Both women gave her fiery and competitor semi-main event as they fought off each other’s best offense in order to win. The end of the match was unique as Midori was able to counter a corner Slice of Heaven by grabbing a hold of Talia's waist. Midori was then able to hit a beautiful Catalyst Shift for the end of the match and seal a win.

IZM [2] defeated NAMI [6]

Both young stars were given a huge opportunity to close tonight’s show. IZM was coming in 1-3 while her opponent had the complete opposite record. NAMI could end up leading the whole A Block if she won here tonight and she nearly had the match won on multiple occasions but IZM kept fighting. NAMI thought she had it won with a VELVET but IZM kept fighting. This led to both young stars trading blow after throughout the whole match. In the JET Academy Champion was able to get a huge win with a Roaring Elbow followed by a Jade Shoro Bomb for the win.

Post Match:

IZM had the mic in her hand and the first thing she did was apologize.

Under card:

- Midori Miyamoto and Talia Areano drew with Ai Moe and Sora Todoh

Main Card:

Hanna Rockford [2] defeated Machiko Hasegawa [0]

With her first GP win under her belt, Hanna looked to get more wins and possibly make a comeback. Her opponent tonight was Machiko who was just looking to get back to her winning ways before her big Academy Title Match at Throne Wars. The power of Machiko vs. Hanna’s speed was a big focus of the match but just like her bout with Rio Kurokawa, all it took were two Gen-Z Knees to truly end it and give Hanna her second win of the tournament.

Jessica Rose [6] defeated Amy Slayton [2]

A battle of two people with completely different records, Jessica stood as one of the people tied for second place in the block while Amy Slayton’s frustrations over losing the Academy Championship has gotten her a record of 1-3. The match went fairly long as both had many things in common when it came down to ring style but as all of her previous wins, Jessica was able to win with a brutal Rose Trigger to the back of the head.

Momoko Honda [2] defeated Natsu Toyama [4]

Both small and young stars went in there and showcased their high speed style with no rest. Momoko was looking to get over this struggling form and she was taking on Natsu Toyama who was looking to catch up with SAIKO. Both were throwing everything at one another but in the end one Tsunami Strike followed up by a Happy Landing for the win.

April Song w/ Aoi Kitamura [6] defeated Bethany Sharpe w/Vivina Wolfe [4]

April Song and Bethany Sharpe faced off in their first ever singles match, surprisingly April had backup in her biggest fan Aoi Kitamura to handle Bethany’s backup. The match was a technical masterclass as both tried to break the other down with holds rather than big moves. The match lasted nearly the entire 20 minute time limit but it ended as Bethany Sharpe was forced to submit to April who had her locked in a Honeypot Special.

Rio Kurokawa [4] defeated SAIKO [8]

The block leader and winner of the Miss Manami Tributary Shield SAIKO took on a future title match opponent as she faced the JET National Champion Rio Kurokawa. Both seemed to immediately hate one another and went right into one another with stiff strikes. Everything was brutal from these two as they didn’t let up for the whole time they were given. It was a huge statement win for Rio Kurokawa as she bounced back from losing two straight and ended SAIKO’s GP win streak at four wins.

Mizuki Nakata [4] defeated Megan Enders [6]

The Ace of JET third GP2020 main event but she went into this match going 0-2 in these matches but since then Mizuki has been able to bounce back and get two wins. On the other side Megan Enders has gone into this with three straight wins and one of the people at the top of the block. It was a match of power as Megan was able to overpower The Ace but as Mizuki has done so many times before she was able to fight back. The Ace of JET was able to come back and take the match with a Hyperion after Megan Enders was somehow able to kick out of the Lanikea.

Post Match:

The Osaka crowd cheers loudly as Mizuki looks around while being handed a mic.

“My plan was originally to say this last month after I beat JUNKO but that didn’t end the way I wanted… but I guess now or never!

OOOSSSAAAKKKKAAAAA!!! I’VE STOLEN THE SHOW ONCE AGAIN!!!”

The crowd cheers to Mizuki’s signature catchphrase as The Ace continues to speak.

“This is my redemption, this past month without the JET World Championship has felt like ages for me. I swore to protect this company and I let you all down but I intend to win this RISE GP. Not because it would be my third RISE GP tournament win and my chance to make history because it gives me a chance to rewrite a wrong. JUNKO I know you’re watching this, I’m winning this tournament and let it be known that I get back my home’s championship. I’m not The Ace just because I’m the best this promotion has but because I will get back up after everything.”

“After I win RISE GP, I’ll see you at Cinderella Story where I will get the JET World Championship back from your clutches! And I will see all of you fans for our next show where I promise to steal the show again!”

“Rage of Dust” plays as Mizuki hands back her mic and the crowd chant her name as the show ends.

RISE Grand Prix 2020 Night 11

Undercard:

- DESPERADOS (SAIKO, Jessica Rose and Julia Zhang) defeated Momoko Honda, Sara Ashiya and Machiko Hasegawa

- Mizuki Nakata and Satsuki Fujioka defeated Hanna Rockford and Saya Okita

Main Card:

IZM [4] defeated Yuki Takigawa [0]

IZM continued her rebound in the opening match of Night 11 as she took on the former JET World Champion Yuki Takigawa. Commentary was questioning if Yuki was getting up there in age and that was hindering her performance in the tournament. Takigawa had control for a good portion of this match but IZM was able to rebound with a K-Danger Kick followed by a Spirit Breaker for the win.

Ai Moe [6] defeated Talia Areano [6]

With a block being so highly contested as eight out of the twelve women in the block were technically tied for first place. It was now or never to break out and try to make a huge push for the top of the block. Talia and Ai Moe competed in a first time ever match as both women did everything in their power to get the win but in the end it wasn’t enough from Areano as she fell to Ai Moe’s Love Is A Battlefield.

Masumi Tsutsumi [6] defeated Vivina Wolfe [4]

Masumi Tsutsumi has had an amazing start to her RISE GP as she took on one of the JET World Tag Champs Vivina Wolfe. The Wolfegang Symphony member has been struggling to get much going with her 2-3 record and unfortunately tonight was a night where she would lose again as she fell to a Sunset Dentsu after 10 minutes of fast paced action.

Q [6] defeated NAMI [6]

With both women being the technical block leader they had to keep pushing to keep up with Ai Moe and Masumi Tsutsumi. Both were hated by the crowd and they felt it all the way through this match but they competed nonetheless. Both brought out their A-Game but in the end Q’s experience was the edge she needed and she was able to keep pace with Ai Moe and Tsutsumi with a huge Q’s Lament.

Midori Miyamoto [6] defeated Sora Todoh [6]

Like most of A Block matches tonight, it was all about breaking the ties currently in the block. Sora and Midori haven’t seen eye-to-eye with one another over things in this block. One of Sora’s big goals in this GP was about proving people, especially Midori wrong since the former JET World Champion believed that Sora isn’t strong enough yet. Unfortunately Midori was right this time as Sora didn’t have enough to beat the former JET World Champion. Everything she threw, Midori would kick out until Midori eventually won with a Shattercryst.

Post-Match: Midori would simply nod at Sora who was on the ground while being helped up.

Azumi Goto [6] defeated Makiya Kusanagi [4]

In the main event it was Azumi Goto vs. Makiya Kusanagi for the first time ever. The Celestial Genius was coming in with a chance to keep up with the block leaders and the four other girls who moved up to eight points. The match was Azumi’s speed versus Makiya’s power. The JET Chairwoman was able to make a valiant comeback at the end of the match where she was able to counter the Mountain Bomb into a reverse hurricanrana. That started the big comeback for Azumi as she nailed a Last Surprise and then finished the match at the 17 minute mark with a Path Of Heaven moonsault.

Post-Match:

Azumi was in charge of cutting this show’s post match promo and with a fiery tone in her voice she did just that. She thanked the 800 plus fans in attendance who came to see them and thanked Makiya for an amazing match. Azumi talked about how GP’s harsh schedule and her own schedule has definitely started to take its toll but she needs to finish this tournament strong. She had a few people who wanted to face her in the finals.

As always, with a loud passionate yell Azumi reminded everyone to enjoy pro-wrestling.

RISE Grand Prix 2020 Night 12

- Q and Julia Zhang defeated Yuki Takigawa and Aoi Kitamura

Main card:

Amy Slayton [2] defeated April Song [8]

With her downward spiral since losing the Academy Title, Amy Slayton was starting to get more willing to break the rules. She was in second last and her chances of making it to the next round being slim, she had to do anything to win tonight. She did just that as every tactic in the book was pulled out by Amy Slayton as she was able to win with a backslide into The Devil’s Dance.

Rio Kurokawa [6] defeated Bethany Sharpe [4]

National Champion Rio Kurokawa took on one-half of the JET World Tag Team Champions Bethany Sharpe. Both know each other well from their feud over the tag titles last year but to say that Rio moved on to bigger and better things would be an understatement. The National Champion was coming off a huge win over block leader SAIKO. The match was fiery and ferocious but it ended with Rio getting the win with an Armbar and making sure that she kept pace with the rest of the block.

Mizuki Nakata [6] defeated Hanna Rockford [4]

With both women starting impressive win streaks, unfortunately one of them had to end tonight as The Ace of JET took on Hanna Rockford in a singles match. Hanna Rockford and Mizuki showed some respect in the early goings. The match was Mizuki’s strength and all-rounder style of wrestling versus Hanna’s speed and flashier style. The match went nearly the full time limit of 20 but Mizuki was able to dodge a Gen-Z knee attempt and nail Hanna with a Nakata Family Exploder followed by a Lanikea.

Momoko Honda [4] defeated Jessica Rose [8]

Momoko Honda took on Jessica Rose in their first ever match against one another. They had complete opposite starts to the tournament as Momoko is 2-3 while Jessica is 4-1 with her only loss was when she laid down for SAIKO. Both had similar styles and it brought an interesting dynamic into the match. Jessica had control for most of the early and middle stages but Momoko was able to make one fiery comeback. Honda secured the win with a Happy Landing.

Natsu Toyama [4] defeated Megan Enders [6]

With Megan Enders being one of the biggest surprises of the tournament, she looked to get back to her winning ways as she took on Natsu Toyama who looked to rebound as she was on what was considered the limit of how many losses one could take. The Second Generation Goddess had to use her speed to win and did just that as she was able to counter Megan’s powerbomb attempt into reverse hurricanrana and followed it up with a Final Answer Suplex.

Machiko Hasegawa [0] defeated SAIKO w/Julia Zhang [8]

In the battle of complete opposites, the block leader SAIKO took on Machiko Hasegawa who was still winless in this year’s GP. Even their in-ring styles were nothing alike. With the help of Zhang, SAIKO was able to get the advantage over Machiko. She had the match nearly ending on multiple occasions but Machiko dug in deep as she was able to fight back. She was able to land huge power moves that could end much weaker opponents but SAIKO kicked out everything. DESPERADOS’ second-in-command couldn’t kick out of an Elevated Hasegawa Bomb as Machiko shocked everyone with her first win of this year’s GP.

Post-Match:

Machiko has a microphone in her hand as she is on her knees and trying to hold back any tears. She had struggled to get anything going for this tournament and it was starting to make her wonder if she was going to ever win a GP match but now she can say that she’s on the board. Machiko understands that her tournament is now more about salvaging and finishing well. She thanked everyone at Club Citta for coming over as she ended her promo.

Main Card:

NAMI [6] defeated Sora Todoh [6]

With both trying to catch up with the block leaders, it was now or never for both Sora and NAMI. Both had an exciting opener with Sora’s speed playing a big part along with NAMI’s brutal kicks. The match ended after Sora’s springboard attempt was countered by a big boot from The Golden Queen. NAMI soon followed up with PLASTIC SURGERY to end it and move up to eight points.

IZM [6] defeated Makiya Kusanagi [4]

The next match of the tournament saw a clash of similar styles as JET Academy Champion IZM took on Makiya Kusanagi. This would have been a huge win for Kusanagi if she was able beat the Academy Champion but IZM’s never-say-die spirit got her the win in a HUGE way. The match ended with IZM countering a Mountain Bomb attempt into a hurricanrana. A close two count but Makiya couldn’t stop the barrage at the end, Roaring Elbow followed by a K-Danger Kick and finally a Jade Shoro Bomb to seal it.

Post-match: IZM commented that she’s been practicing how to counter powerbombs for a long while as she is preparing for her eventual title defense against Machiko. So it helped against Makiya

Yuki Takigawa [0] defeated Q [8]

Former JET World Champion Yuki Takigawa’s losing streak has been a surprise as she has been 0-6 so far in this tournament. On the other hand, her opponent Q has had quite the early GP run as she is one of the co-leaders of the block. To the shock of everyone in the building, Yuki Takigawa was able to get the win. Q got too overconfident and didn’t take Takigawa seriously, she paid for it as Yuki nailed a Full Moon Night and followed it up with a Path To The Moon. The Moonlight Flash secured her first GP win of the tournament.

Vivina Wolfe [4] defeated Azumi Goto [8]

To follow up on the upsets, Vivina Wolfe took on Azumi Goto. Wolfe and Azumi of course know each other well due to their matches over the tag titles during the spring. Azumi Goto and Vivina Wolfe wrestled a technical masterclass at a high speed pace. Vivina who has shown to be willing to cheat to win did just that as she was able to counter a Giant Slayer attempt into a roll-up with a handful of tights.

Talia Areano [6] defeated Masumi Tsutsumi [8]

With both Q and Azumi losing tonight, it was the perfect time for Masumi to break out and take sole lead of her block but Talia Areano had other plans as a win would get her back up to a competitive state. She and Masumi had an amazing match that ended with Talia slipping out of a German Suplex attempt and turning it into a standing Slice of Heaven for the win.

Midori Miyamoto [8] and Ai Moe [8] fought to a 30 minute time limit draw.

Both former Trios partners meet again in singles competition but their last match was a year ago in the 2019 RISE GP which ended in a draw. The two had a great deal of respect for one another and fought hard through the whole match. With the chance to take sole possession of the block, they both wanted this win badly. Ai Moe and Midori Miyamoto traded shots for the whole match and once they reached the 20 minute mark, they were desperately trying to go for the win. Midori wasn’t able to successfully land any of her finishers as Ai had a counter for each one. In the final moments, Ai caught both of Midori’s hands as the former JET World Champion went for BURNING. Ai nailed a standing Love Is A Battlefield that sent Midori down to her knees, one more Kamigoye from Ai but she collapsed on top of Midori as time expired.

Post-Match:

There was no post match promo this time around as both Ai Moe and Midori were being helped by the young girls at ringside. As both got to their feet, there was a moment of respect from the two friends. They shared a handshake to close the show.

In the opening match of Night 14, Hanna Rockford took on Megan Enders. Ender used her size in the early stages of the match as she was able to throw around Hanna with no problem but she wasn’t able to put away The Prodigy. Hanna was able to fight off Megan Enders and in a moment of insane strength was able to pick her up for a Prodigybreaker! Hanna rebounds and moves up with 6 points.

Bethany Sharpe [4] defeated Machiko Hasegawa [2]

Another match featuring competitors dealing with struggling form. Machiko was looking to start a win streak and get some momentum heading into her future Academy Title match. Bethany Sharpe was in a similar spot to her tag partner as both are on the bubble between in and out of the running. Machiko was able to land some brutal power moves but it wasn’t enough as Sharpe sealed the win with a B-Flat.

Natsu Toyama [6] defeated Jessica Rose [8]

In what turned into a fast pace High Speed match, Natsu Toyama took on Jessica Rose. The DESPERADOS member was looking to come back from a horrible loss to Momoko Honda while Natsu was coming back from a bounce back win against Megan Enders.

Momoko Honda [6] defeated April Song [8]

Momoko Honda vs. April is another first time ever match that we get to see in the RISE GP. The former JET Academy Champion is looking to make it three straight wins.

Momoko followed it up with a Tsunami Strike and an Earth-Quaker for the win.

Rio Kurokawa [8] defeated Amy Slayton [4]

JET National Champion Rio Kurokawa took on Amy Slayton. Both seemed to not like one another and it showed, Amy Slayton went all out for this match as she was trying to catch up and possibly make a claim for a future National Title match if she beat Rio. Both nailed stiff strikes at one another but in the end a rolling elbow from Rio practically knocked out Amy Slayton. One Everest German Suplex followed by a Ketsueki Toll sealed it as Rio is the first star in this year’s GP to reach 10 points.

SAIKO [8] and Mizuki Nakata [8] fought to a time-limit draw.

The bout that everyone has been waiting for since the blocks were revealed. Mizuki Nakata resumes her bloody rivalry with SAIKO. Right from the first second, they went at it. A brawl ensued as neither wanted to see the other win. Each strike from SAIKO and Mizuki was hate filled. The crowd in Dolphins Arena was electric as they got to see both women tear into one another. Neither could land their finishers as they had counters for everything and once Mizuki did nail SAIKO with Lanikea, The Mob Psycho kicked out. Of course The Ace would follow up by kicking out of a Psycho Impaler. The match’s closing moments saw both Mizuki and SAIKO fighting on the top rope, The Ace of JET was able to land a HUGE Avalanche Lanikea but couldn’t get arm on top of SAIKO as time expired and this match ended as a draw.

Post-Match:

Post match saw both SAIKO and Mizuki staring down at one another as they were being helped by the young girls at ringside. This face of pure rage on the face of Mizuki while SAIKO couldn’t help but have a slasher smile on her face.

The match saw many counters but the biggest one was the one that led to the end of the match as Azumi Goto countered a Slice Of Heaven into a Dragon Suplex. The Celestial Genius followed it up with Last Surprise and a Path Of Heaven Moonsault for the win.

Midori Miyamoto [9] defeated NAMI [8]

Midori Miyamoto and NAMI met in their eventual GP match, both kicking stars used their signature strike in a different way. NAMI used it to go along with her height advantage to get wins while Midori’s kicks were full of force and she put everything in each strike. That showed as Midori was able to nullify NAMI’s reach advantage with brutal shots. Of course The Golden Queen fought back but facing Sora Todoh is completely different than facing a former JET World Champion like Midori as she made NAMI tap out to a Soul Reaver for the win.

IZM [8] defeated Vivina Wolfe [6]

IZM and Vivina Wolfe took on one another in the semi-main for Night 15. IZM was looking to continue her impressive win streak and push it to four streak wins. Meanwhile Vivina Wolfe was in a do or die situation, if she didn’t win now it was all for her. Vivina threw everything at IZM but unfortunately The Roaring Spirit was on her game and was able to get the win with a Jade Shoro Bomb.

Ai Moe [9] defeated Masumi Tsutsumi [8]

The huge surge of momentum from Ai Moe was a huge story for GP. Like the two previous GPs Ai Moe has come close to winning but now she would tie with Midori again if she won this match with Masumi Tsutsumi.. For Masumi it’s another shot for her to get double digits and make any kind of comeback. Tsutsumi’s strikes were brutal in this match but Ai Moe isn’t JET’s Underdog for nothing as she was able to overcome most of Masumi’s signature offense and win with Love Is A Battlefield.

Post-Match:

With the crowd chanting her name, Ai Moe was given the chance to speak to the fans. She talked about how she has come close twice in almost winning her block but something got in her way in the end. She promised that this would be the year that she wins the RISE GP Tournament, third time might be the charm for her.

RISE Grand Prix 2020 Night 16

Location: Nagoya Congress Hall

Date: September 10th, 2020

Under card:

- Ai Moe, Makiya Kusanagi, and Tani Yamanaka defeated Azumi Goto, Sora Todoh, and Satsuki Fujioka

- IZM, Masumi Tsutsumi, and Saya Okita defeated Midori Miyamoto, Talia Areano, and Spring TORA

Main Card:

Amy Slayton [4] defeated Machiko Hasegawa [2]

In the opening match of Night 16, Amy Slayton took on Machiko Hasegawa. Both were struggling of course and this point both were out of the running to win their block, so the match was all about pride. In the end Amy Slayton was able to nail a Devil Trigger and immediately follow it up with a Devil’s Dance.

Jessica Rose [8] defeated Megan Enders [6]

Jessica Rose and Megan Enders are coming off losing streaks as both have a shot to break said streak tonight. The match had Jessica trying to get any advantage over Enders but to no avail. Enders made her huge comeback and nearly won it with a spear. A powerbomb attempt was thwarted as Jessica got a poke right in the eyes of Megan. She dropped down and immediately nailed Megan with a Dreaded Rose.

Hanna Rockford [6] defeated SAIKO [9]

After the huge brawl of a match in the main event of Night 14, SAIKO seemed like she was exhausted and running on fumes. Hanna Rockford on the other looked like she could go for another High Speed match and that’s what this match turned into as both Hanna and SAIKO were able to keep up with one other in terms of speed. Hanna was able to end the match and score a big upset due to a Prodigybreaker.

Mizuki Nakata [9] defeated Bethany Sharpe [6]

The Ace of JET took on Bethany Sharpe of Wolfegang Symphony. Unlike her rival, Mizuki wasn’t exhausted at all and looked ready to go but it could have been a facade as Mizuki was sluggish in her movements. Luckily for her, so was Bethany as the fourth straight shows must be taking a toll. Luckily The Ace was able to pull out a win as she was able to counter a Grand Finale attempt into a Lanikea for a win.

Momoko Honda [8] defeated Rio Kurokawa [10]

JET National Champion took on The Star Warrior, both have faced off one another before in last year’s GP. The match was very similar to last year’s bout where both strikers used their kicks to put the other down. Rio Kurokawa’s pure striker style nearly got her the win but Momoko fought back. It took not one or two but three Tsunami Strikes to put Rio down long enough for Momoko to climb the ropes and nail a Happy Landing.

Natsu Toyama [8] defeated April Song [8]

April Song didn’t seem to be in a good run of form recently with two straight losses but she had to focus on Natsu Toyama who has been on a different run of form recently. April came in with a game plan as Natsu’s style was just a faster variation of her rival Azumi Goto. She used her knowledge about Azumi to counter Natsu. She grounded the second generation wrestler but Natsu made a valiant comeback which included a barrage of stiff forearms. Natsu finished the match strong as she won with a Final Answer Suplex.

Post Match:

It was Natsu’s turn to close the show as she was loud and cute as always. The crowd loved as she talked. She thanked April Song for making the long trip over and over just to compete in GP but told her that the only one who would face Azumi in the finals would be her. This wasn’t about a rivalry but more about their wish to see one another in the finals. Natsu declared her victory and said she was going to make sure that it’s her in the finals.

In an amazing opening match, Sora Todoh was able to use her speed to get the win sealing the victory after a Shin-Ryu Suplex. Ending the match at 10:23

Yuki Takigawa [4] defeated NAMI [8]

Yuki Takigawa has been on an incredible run after losing her first six GP matches. NAMI has been impressive since debuting in August and looked to bounce back. She had a tough challenge in the form of a former JET World Champion. Unfortunately for NAMI, Takigawa was able to get the win in exactly 12 minutes with a Path To The Moon.

Vivina Wolfe [6] defeated Q [8]

Both competitors were not liked by the Yokohama crowd as they faced off in a first ever singles match. The crowd wasn’t in the mood to deal with both of them but both of them needed the win. Q’s chances on winning the block were slim to none and after losing tonight, she was mathematically eliminated. Vivina Wolfe this match with a Whitechapel Massacre in 15:14.

IZM [10] defeated Talia Areano [8]

The two competitors were familiar with one another as they have faced off a few times. Talia Areano has had a disappointing run in this year’s tournament meanwhile IZM’s chances of winning her block were still high as she needed to make sure to not lose any major matches and tonight she was able to keep her hopes of winning the block alive as she beat Talia with a Jade Shoro Bomb

Azumi Goto [10] defeated Ai Moe [11]

The announcement that her retirement was coming, Azumi Goto was having her last set of matches which meant that most people were cheering her to win her block to eventually face Natsu Toyama in the finals. She and Ai Moe had an amazing semi-main that Azumi eventually won with a Giant Slayer.

Masumi Tsutsumi [8] defeated Midori Miyamoto [11]

The first time ever match main evented had the crowd behind this match, The Oni of Shinjuku took on the Hybrid Dragon. Both women had a solid shot of winning their block and they went all out in this match. With the rounds depleting down, every win mattered and for Tsutsumi that was especially true as she was on what could be considered her last strike. Midori and Masumi both had similar styles and it showed as they continued to go at one another. The match continued until the 25 minute mark with both competitors being exhausted. Tsutsumi and Miyamoto started to trade slaps and palm strikes but it seemed that Midori was struggling to handle the force of each Tsutsumi strike. Midori soon got nailed with a Roundhouse kick only to go down to her knees. Tsutsumi hit one final shot with a Sunset Densetsu for the win.

Post Match:

(Narumi hops around Masumi in circles, to hype up her sister, as Masumi takes a bow towards Midori Miyamoto. Masumi is given a microphone.)

Masumi: Ms Miyamoto, when I signed to JET you were the woman to beat, you were the revered JET World champion! Every woman who came to JET at that same time dreamed of having the honour of taking you on! Thank you for wrestling me, Ms Miyamato! Tonight was my night!

(The crowd cheers on and Masumi addresses her words to them.)

Masumi: And I survived in this tournament, I took on the woman in 1st place for our block, and I defeated her like I once dreamt of doing! But in the present, JET signings come in under the nightmare of a different kind of champion. It brings shame to us what they witness happen here! Perhaps in these dire times, it not a pretty princess or a chosen Ace that can stop it, but rather it is the crowning of a rising Oni!

Narumi: Masumi Tsutsumi! All will fall to her fearsome Oni Martial Arts!

(Masumi places her right fist into her left open palm with a stern look on her face as Narumi punches the air with a smile.)

RISE Grand Prix Night 18

Date: September 16th, 2020

Main Card:

Bethany Sharpe [6] defeated Hanna Rockford [8]

Hanna has done an amazing job in the last five shows after starting 0-3, she has bounced to a 4-4 record. Bethany Sharpe on the other hand seemed to be off her game compared to last year but Sharpe was able to make a comeback in tonight’s match as she beat Hanna via a B-Flat to move up the rankings to 8 points and mathematically eliminate Hanna’s small chance of winning the block.

SAIKO [9] defeated Megan Enders [6]

The Yokohama crowd was fully behind Megan Enders as they wanted her to win and have the DESPERADOS second-in-command suffer another loss. SAIKO was completely focused and took out all of her frustrations from the last two rounds on Megan. Enders tried to make a valiant comeback but fell to a Psycho Impaler.

April Song [8] defeated Jessica Rose [10]

Former co-workers in multiple different promotions including LAW, there must be some knowledge on one another. Jessica was able to keep up with April’s grappling as she reminded people that she was a product of the UK Wrestling Scene. Both competitors went for fifteen minutes as they targeted a particular limb through the whole match but LAW’s Brave Falcon was able to pick up the win with a Swan Song.

Mizuki Nakata [11] defeated Amy Slayton [6]

Mizuki has been on an incredible run as she hasn’t been defeated in tournament matches since Night 4. Amy Slayton on the other hand has had a disaster of a tournament and hasn’t been able to regain form since her title loss to IZM. Amy did everything in her power to put away The Ace but Mizuki fought back and sealed her 6th win of the GP block, pushing her lead to 13 points.

Machiko Hasegawa [2] defeated Momoko Honda [10]

With the matches in this year’s tournament winding down, every win was crucial for the ones with a chance of winning their block and this included Momoko Honda who was trying to keep up with Mizuki at the moment but Machiko Hasegawa was too much of an obstacle for the Star Warrior and her kicks weren’t enough as she fell to a Hasegawa bomb.

Natsu Toyama [10] and Rio Kurokawa [10] fought to a time limit draw

As mentioned earlier, everyone was trying to catch up to The Ace and both of these competitors were trying to The Ace and make sure she didn’t get ahead in the block. Both needed to keep up and did everything in this match to get the win. Unfortunately both weren’t able to get a win tonight as neither could land their signature suplex finisher and once Rio did nail her finisher time ran out.

Q w/ Julia Zhang [8] defeated Talia Areano [8]

Continuing the trend of competitors with 4-5 records facing one another, Q took on Talia Areano. Both wrestled a fast paced style but in the end the addition of Zhang at ringside helped as she was able to help Q get a tainted win. Q wins via Q’s Lament and moves on to ten points.

Midori Miyamoto [11] defeated Yuki Takigawa [6]

In the next match, Takigawa tried to continue her impressive win streak but she had a tough challenge in Midori Miyamoto. The Hybrid Dragon was fired up as another loss could spell the end for her tournament run. Midori was able to roll out of the before Takigawa nailed a Path To The Moon and immediately followed up with a Running Shattercryst for the win. Midori has taken the lead back for the moment.

Ai Moe [11] defeated IZM [12]

Former Academy Champion took on the current Academy Champion. Both were given a positive reception by the Korakuen crowd. The first singles match between one another was everything the fans were hoping for. With the loser potentially out of the running for the block, they did everything in their power to win. In the end Ai Moe won with Love Is A Battlefield to move up to 13 points.

Azumi Goto [12] defeated Masumi Tsutsumi [10]

In the main event Azumi Goto took on Masumi Tsutsumi. This was The Oni's third straight main event and after hellacious battle with Ai Moe and Midori Miyamoto she had to face The Celestial Angel. The match was fast paced, it ended after 25 minutes. Azumi was able to endure all of Masumi's offense and won after a Giant 9Slayer. Azumi now has some control over the block.

Post match:

Azumi is closing the show for the third time and gladly scream passionately. She thanked Masumi for an incredible bout and saying that she is just as amazing as she hoped. Azumi thanked the Korakuen crowd as this will be her last match in this venue. She tells everyone that was and forever will be her favorite venue that she ever competed in.

She soon called Midori and told her that it was done to them now. They are the two frontrunners for the block going into Differ Ariake and she is excited for the chance to face her. Finally Azumi ended the show by telling everyone to keep enjoy Pro Wrestling.

Amy Slayton [8] defeated Hanna Rockford [8]

Megan Enders [6] defeated April Song [10]

Megan Enders took on April Song as April tried to play catch up to the block leaders. Another loss would have the LAW Star out of the tournament. Unfortunately Megan Enders had other plans as she was able to nail a HUGE Powerbomb for the win. April Song has been mathematically eliminated.

Bethany Sharpe [8] defeated SAIKO [11]

SAIKO was looking to keep up with her rival Mizuki but had to first get through Bethany Sharpe. The Mob Psycho might have overestimated Sharpe who was able to get the win after a B-Flat. SAIKO now has been mathematically eliminated.

Rio Kurokawa [11] defeated Jessica Rose [10]

The National Champ was one of the many competitors trying to keep up with The Ace and she needed to worry a lot of tiebreaker if she is to win tonight. Jessica was ruthless as she still had a shot of making the finals. She tore into Rio Kurokawa's right arm but she couldn't get her submission finisher locked in. Kurokawa wins with the Ketsueki Toll. Jessica also joins the club of people mathematically eliminated.

Mizuki Nakata [13] defeated Momoko Honda [10]

The Star Warrior still hand an incredible chance of making the finals and put on a performance of a lifetime against The Ace.

Post-Match:

Momoko got to close off the show and it seemed that the entire Korakuen Hall was behind her. She talked about how small her chances are of winning B Block but that was enough for her. She was set to face Hanna Rockford and promised to win but she needed everyone's support that she can win.

- Aoi Kitamura, Natsu Toyama, and April Song defeated Sara Ashiya, Rio Kurokawa, and Mizuki Nakata

Post-match: Aoi thanks April Song for teaming with her for this whole tour as she was able to learn a lot from it and being her second.

Before final block matches played, the announcement was made that JET World Champion was returning to action at the RISE GP Finals show in Budokan.

Main Card:

Yuki Takigawa [6] defeated Makiya Kusanagi [6]

The opening contest was more about not finishing last place in the block. Yuki Takigawa took on Makiya Kusanagi and unfortunately for Makiya, the experience of the Moonlight Flash was more than enough to put her away as Yuki wins with a Black-Out.

Talia Areano [8] defeated Sora Todoh [8]

Talia Areano was looking to get rid of this horrible losing streak as she hadn’t been able to pick up a win in her last three tournament matches. She took on Sora Todoh who was looking to end the tournament on the right note. As neither wanted to end the tournament with single digit points, they went at it. Talia was able to pick the win with a Slice of Heaven.

Vivina Wolfe [10] defeated NAMI [10]

To end with a positive record was the goal of both women as they needed the win here tonight to do so. The Golden Queen had impressed everyone for someone who debuted just over two months ago but she eventually fell to a Whitechapel Massacre.

Masumi Tsutsumi [10] defeated IZM [12]

IZM took on a future potential challenger in the form of Masumi Tsutsumi. The Academy Champion would look to finish the tournament. The battle was that of strikes as Masumi’s kicks versus IZM’s chops and forearms. Unfortunately for the Roaring Spirit, she lost this one as Masumi nailed her with not one but two Sunset Densetsu for the win.

Q w/Julia Zhang [10] defeated Ai Moe [13]

This was a must win match for Ai Moe as she needed this win and hoped for Midori to defeated Azumi later on to force a playoff but Q made sure that there wouldn’t be a chance for Ai Moe to make it as with the help of Zhang, she was able to beat Ai Moe. Q pinned Ai Moe after a Q’s Landing.

Midori Miyamoto [13] defeated Azumi Goto [14]

Now with Ai Moe’s loss, the winner of this match takes the block. Azumi Goto and Midori Miyamoto in the last A Block of this year’s GP. The crowd was split down the middle, Azumi and Midori spent the early stages applying holds on one another until Azumi hit the first real stiff strike of the match. Azumi was able to get the advantage during the middle stages of the match and work over Midori’s right arm. Miyamoto was able to make a huge comeback but couldn’t nail the final blow at that moment. A huge back and forth ensued as neither was able to put the other away. Azumi nailed a HUGE Giant Slayer but to the shock of the Ota-Ward crowd Midori was able to kick out. Midori fought back and nailed Azumi with a Shattercryst but it was Azumi’s turn to kick out of a finisher.

The match almost went the distance but Azumi soon fell to a Catalyst Shift and was eliminated, making Midori the winner of this year’s A Block.

Post-Match:

A moment of respect as once Azumi was helped back to her feet, she immediately shook Midori’s hand and raised it high in the air for all

Midori was the one to close the last A Block show as she thanked the Ota-Ward for being here in full capacity and followed it by thanking Azumi Goto for the incredible contest. She knew that Azumi’s career was ending and she was glad that she got to face her. Midori soon addressed her potential finals opponent. She knew that four people could qualify but she only had one opponent on her mind and told Mizuki Nakata to win.

RISE Grand Prix Night 22

Location: Ota-Ward Gymnasium

Date: September 24th

Under card:

- Makiya Kusanagi defeated Aoi Kitamura

- Talia Areano and Sora Todoh defeated NAMI and Vivina Wolfe

Note: Talia pinned Vivina Wolfe in the match

- IZM and Masumi Tsutsumi defeated DESPERADOS (Julia Zhang and Rei Kagura)

Post match: Azumi Goto soon approached the two winners and it was to be two of her final opponents in her retirement match which both gladly accepted.

Before the main card, a unique video played of a dragon letting out a roar before the word “revenge” popped up.

Main Card:

Bethany Sharpe w/Vivina Wolfe [10] defeated Megan Enders [8]

Bethany Sharpe took on Megan Enders in the opening match both were eliminated so this was more about finishing the tournament strong. Sharpe also had her tag partner Vivina Wolfe at ringside. Enders was able to fight off both Wolfegang members but eventually with the help of her tag partner, Bethany Sharpe was able to put away Enders with a B-Flat.

Post-Match:
After the match, Wolfegang continued to lay into Megan until from the back TALIA AREANO MADE THE SAVE! She fought off both members of Wolfegang and as the tag champs retreated she asked for a mic. She immediately called both tag champs for what they tried to do and to the surprise of everyone Talia laid down a challenge for RISE GP. She wanted the JET Tag Titles as she had pinned Vivina on two separate occasions and asked Megan to be her tag partner which she gladly accepted.

Backstage Wolfegang said that they didn’t deserve a shot until JET GM Yoko Kudo made an appearance and told them that she decided that and made the tag title match official.

Machiko Hasegawa [4] defeated Jessica Rose [10]

Rose took on Hasegawa in a highly competitive match, both were fighting to end their tournament on a high note. Machiko was able to absorb every blow from Jessica and fight back. She nailed a huge counter lariat when Jessica was charging at her for a Rose Trigger and ONE more Hasegawa Lariat for good measure.

SAIKO [11] defeated Amy Slayton [8]

Amy Slayton and SAIKO faced off in their second singles match against one another. Like the two matches before them, the goal was to end the tournament on a high note and the Tributary Shield member did just that as she was able to win with a Psycho Impaler.

Hanna Rockford [8] defeated Momoko Honda [12]

A Trifecta rematch between Hanna and Momoko, both last faced off with the Academy title on the line. Momoko needed to win this match and all the luck in the world to be on her side. She pulled out all the stops in this match and threw everything at Hanna but The Prodigy stood tall. Hanna was able to fight back and nail Momoko with a Gen-Z Knee for the huge win! With that loss Momoko’s small chance faded away.

April Song [10] defeated Rio Kurokawa [13]

Another rematch as it was a rematch from this year’s QOTW semi-finals, April Song took on Rio Kurokawa. With Momoko eliminated, Rio’s chances were much higher at winning the block. She still needed Natsu and Mizuki to draw in their match but more importantly needed to win her match here. April Song was focused as the last few weeks of tournament action have been rough for her; she's only won one match in the last five tournament matches. Both competitors gave it their all and the match ended with a HUGE Brave Bird from April Song.

Post-Match:

April had a unique comment, if Rio was still National Champion by the time that April was going to make another appearance for JET whenever that might be, she wants to challenge for the JET National Championship.

Mizuki Nakata [13] defeated Natsu Toyama [13]

Continuing the trend of important GP matches being rematches, Mizuki and Natsu Toyama took on one another in a rematch of last year’s GP Finals. The winner would take the block and meet Midori Miyamoto in the finals. Both had their reasons for making the finals. Mizuki was looking to create history as a back-to-back GP Finalist and also get a title shot and reclaim the JET World Title. Meanwhile Natsu was looking to fulfill her promise, even though Azumi was going to be in the finals, she wanted to win badly. Both had a hard fought bout with neither giving the other any room to breathe. Natsu was especially on her game as she was able to reverse every signature move that Mizuki attempted to hit and land her own. The Ace was able to get her offense near the end as both women almost went the distance but an AVALANCHE LANIKEA from Mizuki was enough for the win. Mizuki makes history becoming the first back-to-back GP Finalist in over five years.

Post-Match:

Mizuki Nakata was exhausted as the crowd chanted her name. She was handed a microphone and gladly yelled her catchphrase.

“OTAAAAA-WAAAAARRDDDD!!!! I’VE STOLEN THE SHOW ONCE AGAIN!”

“But Natsu… so did you. Thank you! You’re definitely making Azumi-sensei and your mom proud of you.”

The crowd responded positively as Mizuki continued to speak.

“I told you all that I would make it back to the tournament finals and now one more match left. Miyamoto Midori… my old friend, we’re going to battle one more time in the very same venue. I know that you want your redemption but so do I. Making history as the first back-to-back GP Winner doesn’t matter but rather getting one more shot at the JET World Championship and getting the title back from JUNKO. This company means the world to me and I will show it to you again, Midori.”

“I’ll see you at Budokan, Midori… AND I’ll see you all there as well when I steal the show! ONE! MORE! TIME!”

Mizuki lightly tosses the mic as “Rage of Dust” plays and the show comes to an end with The Ace standing tall.
