For the first time in a while, <strong>Akane Fujita<\/strong> and <strong>Mochi Miyagi<\/strong> team up again as a part of the <strong>Frank Sisters<\/strong>. Fujita has been busy in singles action, recently challenging <strong>Tsukasa Fujimoto<\/strong> for the ICExInfinity Championship and repeatedly fighting with <strong>Risa Sera<\/strong> for the FantastICE Championship. Miyagi has been busy with tag matches, but she works great with Fujita when given the chance. As for their opponents, <strong>Saori Anou<\/strong> only recently returned after a spinal injury, but she picked up a win with <strong>Suzu Suzuki<\/strong>, where they beat Miyagi. It seems if Anou and Suzuki can get a win, they\u2019ll be the next challengers for the International Ribbon Tag Team Championship.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/i.imgur.com\/wHmkdR0.jpg\" alt=\"Ice Ribbon Princess Knights 2021\" width=\"600\" height=\"337\" \/><\/p>\n<h3><strong>Banny Oikawa, Cherry, Totoro Satsuki and Yappy vs Natsumi, Miku Aono, Asahi and Saran<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The <strong>P\u2019s Party<\/strong> group rejoins once again for an eight-woman tag match. The last time this group got together resulted in a fun, refreshing addition to what was a stacked card. These matches usually get the lesser experienced wrestlers in with a few veterans of the ring. Thus, the relative rookies gain more confidence toward singles contests. Nothing too crazy should be expected from these types of matches, but they make for easy watches as shows become more intense.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/i.imgur.com\/VV4PxTq.jpg\" alt=\"Aja Kong Yuuki Mashiro\" width=\"600\" height=\"337\" \/><\/p>\n<h3><strong>Aja Kong vs Yuuki Mashiro w\/Rina Yamashita and Akane Fujita<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/prowrestling\/2021\/02\/03\/aja-kong-racism\/\" target=\"_self\"><strong>Aja Kong<\/strong><\/a> returns to Ice Ribbon to take on the leader of the <strong>Gacha Kingdom<\/strong>, <strong>Yuuki Mashiro<\/strong>. However, Mashiro won\u2019t be completely alone against the joshi legend, as she will be flanked by her teammates, <strong>Rina Yamashita<\/strong> and <strong>Akane Fujita<\/strong>, two people anyone would want to have in their corner. There isn\u2019t much to expect from this match apart from Mashiro trying to get the upper hand with her wild tactics, but it more than likely won\u2019t be enough to take down the presence of Aja Kong.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/i.imgur.com\/DJCrSwA.jpg\" alt=\"Hamuko Hoshi Tsukishi Haruka\" width=\"600\" height=\"337\" \/><\/p>\n<h3><strong>IW-19 Championship: Hamuko Hoshi (c) vs Tsukushi Haruka<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/prowrestling\/2021\/08\/02\/hamuko-hoshi-iw-19-championship\/\" target=\"_self\"><strong>Hamuko Hoshi<\/strong> won the IW-19 title<\/a> for the third time by defeating <strong>Totoro Satsuki<\/strong> at Korakuen Hall last month. Not long after Hoshi won the title, <strong>Tsukushi Haruka<\/strong> came out and dropkicked her, demanding another shot at the title. Since the title was reintroduced to Ice Ribbon last year during the Covid era dojo shows, the title has been going back and forth between the two, which has made for quite an exciting feud as both women can put on great matches. However, since this is her first defense as the champion again, hopefully, Hoshi will be able to keep the title, especially as her daughter, <strong>Ibuki Hoshi<\/strong>, has already shown interest in defeating her.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/i.imgur.com\/KW0yno8.jpg\" alt=\"Rina Yamashita Thekla\" width=\"600\" height=\"337\" \/><\/p>\n<h3><strong>FantastICE Championship: Rina Yamashita (c) vs Thekla\u00a0<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">As expected, after Rina Yamashita defeated Suzu Suzuki in a brutal deathmatch to keep the championship she won from Suzuki\u2019s partner and mentor Risa Sera, <strong>Thekla<\/strong> came out to challenge for the title. However, there has yet to be a stipulation announced for this match, which isn\u2019t unusual for the title itself. These two are known to be quite chaotic, which was a running theme for what Sera did with the title. There&#8217;s no doubt that Yamashita will remain the champion at the end of the match, but this could easily be the match of the night with the amount of talent featured.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/i.imgur.com\/hWxHP00.jpg\" alt=\"Ice Ribbon Princess Knights 2021\" width=\"600\" height=\"337\" \/><\/p>\n<h3><strong>International Ribbon Tag Championship: Azure Revolution (Maya Yukihi and Risa Sera) (c) vs RebelxEnemy Ram Kaichow and Maika Ozaki<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For <strong>Azure Revolution<\/strong>\u2019s second defense on their route to becoming the best tag champions in Ice Ribbon, they face <strong>RebelxEnemy<\/strong>&#8216;s <strong>Ram Kaichow<\/strong> and <strong>Maika Ozaki<\/strong>. Ozaki and <strong>Maya Yukihi<\/strong> were previously tag champions and had an excellent run together, so it will be interesting to see what happens when they are put on opposite sides of the ring. Ice Ribbon clearly have a lot of faith in RebelxEnemy, as they remain a unit despite Yukihi being reunited with Risa Sera. Since Yukihi has so much history with Kaichow and Ozaki, this will certainly make for an exciting tag team match. Nonetheless, it seems like Azure Revolution will pick up the win.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"600\" height=\"337\" class=\"size-full wp-image-100777 alignnone\" src=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/prowrestling\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/15\/2021\/09\/ice-ribbon-princess-knights-2021.jpg\" alt=\"Ice Ribbon Princess Knights 2021\" srcset=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/prowrestling\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/15\/2021\/09\/ice-ribbon-princess-knights-2021.jpg 600w, https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/prowrestling\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/15\/2021\/09\/ice-ribbon-princess-knights-2021-300x169.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/p>\n<h3><strong>ICExInfinity Championship: Tsukasa Fujimoto (c) vs Ibuki Hoshi<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Tsukasa goes for defense number nine before heading off to Mexico on an excursion and it\u2019s against the young Ibuki Hoshi. Young Ibuki challenged for the ICExInfinity Championship at the last Korakuen show in quite a surprising turn of events. Hoshi has yet to win a title in Ice Ribbon since debuting back in 2017, so it would be a huge victory for her to capture her first title this way. Beating Fujimoto, in theory, is fine but actually doing so is where it gets tough.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The champion built herself as the ace of Ice Ribbon and her seventh legendary reign as ICExInfinity Champion has easily positioned her as the top woman in wrestling right now. Even if Hoshi doesn\u2019t win, this will set her to that next level that she needs to continue climbing the ladder at Ice Ribbon.
