The Princess Tag Team Championship (Japanese: プリンセスタッグ王座, Hepburn: Purinsesu Taggu Ōza) is a women's professional wrestling world tag team championship promoted by the CyberFight promotion, defended on their Tokyo Joshi Pro Wrestling (TJPW) brand. The title was introduced on August 12, 2017.[1] Like most professional wrestling championships, the title is won as a result of a scripted match. The current champions are 121000000 (Maki Itoh and Miyu Yamashita), who are in their second reign both as a team and individually. They defeated Daisy Monkey (Arisu Endo and Suzume) at Wrestle Princess V on September 22, 2024 in Chiba, Japan.

History

[edit]

The inaugural champions were crowned on October 14, 2017, when MiraClians (Shoko Nakajima and Yuka Sakazaki) defeated Maho Kurone and Rika Tatsumi in a tournament final.[2] On August 3, 2018, the championship was vacated after the co-champion Marika Kobashi sustained a shoulder injury. Magical Sugar Rabbits (Mizuki and Sakazaki) defeated Maki Itoh and Reika Saiki on August 25 of the same year to win the vacant championship.[3] On July 16, 2019, the title was re-named from Tokyo Princess Tag Team Championship to Princess Tag Team Championship.

On June 9, 2023, the championship was vacated during Magical Sugar Rabbits' third reign, after Sakazaki was diagnosed with a neck injury.[4] On October 9, at Wrestle Princess IV, Free WiFi (Hikari Noa and Nao Kakuta) defeated Toyo Mates (Yuki Kamifuku and Mahiro Kiryu) to win the vacant title.[5][6] However, on December 31, Noa was sidelined due to health-related issue, thus relinquishing the championship.[7][8]

On January 4, 2024, at Tokyo Joshi Pro '24, Ryo Mizunami and Yuki Aino won the vacant championship by defeating Daisy Monkey (Arisu Endo and Suzume) and Hakuchumu (Miu Watanabe and Rika Tatsumi) in a three-way tag team match.[9]
