There has been quite a bit of news circulating regarding Gatoh Move Pro Wrestling and their affiliation with All Elite Wrestling. Most recently, two of Gatoh Move’s featured competitors were announced for the AEW Women’s World Championship Eliminator Tournament. This is big news for the little promotion. Not a promotion to rest on their laurels, however, Gatoh Move is set for another action-packed episode of ChocoPro. Here is what viewers can expect.

Chie Koishikawa vs. Hagane Shinnou
In this interesting singles encounter, former tag team partners will clash. On the previous episode of ChocoPro, Chie Koishikawa and Hagane Shinnou teamed up to take on the duo of Antonio Honda and one half of the Asia Dream Tag Team Champions, Baliyan Akki. Despite their contrasting styles, Koishikawa and Shinnou picked up the victory. Now, the girl with endless energy will battle the ice-cold striker of ChocoPro. To say that these two have distinct wrestling styles would be an understatement. Furthermore, in singles competition, Shinnou has been difficult to keep down in ChocoPro. Can Koishikawa use her energetic offense to pick up perhaps her biggest win over her former partner?

Emi Sakura vs. Sayaka Obihiro
It has been a rather eventful week for Emi Sakura. On this week’s episode of AEW Dynamite, the competitors for the AEW Women’s World Championship Eliminator Tournament were announced. Among the field of competitors hailing from Japan was Emi Sakura, who longtime AEW fans will undoubtedly be familiar with. Her last match for the promotion took place in December of 2019, when she lost to Big Swole in a singles encounter. Before she participates in the aforementioned tournament, Sakura will battle fellow longtime Gatoh Move competitor Sayaka Obihiro, who most recently teamed with Sakura on episode eighty-five of ChocoPro. Together, they overcame the makeshift duo of Sayuri and Sawasdee Kamen. When the experience of Sakura and Obihiro clash, expect a competitive one-on-one affair.

Mei Suruga vs. SAKI (ChocoPro Main Event)
Emi Sakura won’t be the only Gatoh Move star to compete in the AEW Women’s World Championship Eliminator Tournament. Another name announced in the lineup was Mei Suruga, who will soon make her debut for All Elite Wrestling in the tournament. It would be an understatement to say that this is the biggest moment of her young career, though she has been making moves in not only Gatoh Move but Tokyo Joshi Pro Wrestling as well. “Mei-chan” has been steadily building her name and this upcoming tournament will help her even more so. On this upcoming episode of ChocoPro, however, the Asia Dream Tag Team Titleholder will do battle with SAKI.
As a three-time Asia Dream Tag Team Champion – the only competitor that can boast such a feat – SAKI has made her fair share of Gatoh Move appearances over the years. In the promotion, she is best known for teaming with Yuna Mizumori; together, they are known as Tropikawild. SAKI’s last ChocoPro appearance took place on episode forty-eight, which took place this past September. Alongside Mizumori, SAKI lost to the team of Suruga and Emi Sakura. These days, SAKI has been making appearances for Actwres girl’Z and Colega Pro Wrestling, just to name a few organizations. Can SAKI make her ChocoPro return a win over the bubbly, mischievous “Apple Girl” in Mei Suruga?
