After the large exodus of talent a few weeks ago, there&#8217;s a big opportunity for these wrestlers to really step it up going into the New Year and prove themselves to be reliable assets for the company. It won\u2019t matter too much who wins in this match but it will be interesting to see the future of Ice Ribbon showcase their skills.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone\" src=\"https:\/\/i.imgur.com\/0cUc9ID.jpg\" alt=\"Saori Anou and Maika Ozaki vs Miku Aono and Nao Ishikawa\u00a0\" width=\"600\" height=\"337\" \/><\/p>\n<h3><strong>Saori Anou and Maika Ozaki vs Miku Aono and Nao Ishikawa\u00a0<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>Saori Anou<\/strong> returns to Ice Ribbon alongside <strong>RebelxEnemy\u2019s<\/strong> <strong>Maika Ozaki<\/strong> to take on the team of Miku Aono and Nao Ishikawa. <strong>Aono<\/strong> and<strong> Ishikawa<\/strong> have proven themselves as a tag team, recently challenging for the International Ribbon tag titles. Despite coming out on the losing end, they have proven their worth in the company as a tag team. Anou has picked up several wins as a singles wrestler in the company since she started making more regular appearances there. Teaming with the current Triangle Ribbon Champion in Ozaki, Anou will surely pick up the victory.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone\" src=\"https:\/\/i.imgur.com\/KqrLvVG.jpg\" alt=\"Miyako Matsumoto vs Yuuki Mashiro\" width=\"600\" height=\"337\" \/><\/p>\n<h3><strong>Miyako Matsumoto vs Yuuki Mashiro<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Two of the strangest women in wrestling will go head to head in what could vaguely be described as a wrestling match. These two are known for their outlandish styles, and while they both can put on a good wrestling match, their strengths lie in the more comedic aspect. <strong>Miyako Matsumoto<\/strong> could be seen as what <strong>Yuuki Mashiro<\/strong> may eventually become one day. They might not get to show their wrestling skills, but this is going to be the most entertaining match on the card.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone\" src=\"https:\/\/i.imgur.com\/Z2mnQ67.jpg\" alt=\"Totoro Satsuki and Tsukasa Fujimoto vs Mochi Miyagi and Suzu Suzuki\" width=\"600\" height=\"337\" \/><\/p>\n<h3><strong>Totoro Satsuki and Tsukasa Fujimoto vs Mochi Miyagi and Suzu Suzuki<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>Prominence<\/strong> members <strong>Mochi Miyagi<\/strong> and <strong>Suzu Suzuki<\/strong> will be teaming up to take on <strong>Totoro Satsuki<\/strong> and <strong>Tsukasa Fujimoto<\/strong> before they both dive into the world of deathmatch wrestling in the new year. Miyagi and Suzuki have teamed up before and came out on the winning end, so it does look good but going against the ace, <strong>Tsukasa Fujimoto<\/strong>, isn\u2019t easy. Despite losing the ICExInfinity Championship this past November, Fujimoto continues to prove, in every match, why she is the ace of the company and will undoubtedly put on a great match. It\u2019s not clear who will win, but there are not many stakes in this, so it\u2019ll just be fun to watch.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/i.imgur.com\/YV949DN.jpg\" alt=\"RibbonMania 2021 Rina Yamashita Akane Fujita\" width=\"600\" height=\"337\" \/><\/p>\n<h3><strong>FantastICE Championship: Rina Yamashita (c) vs Akane Fujita\u00a0<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>Akane Fujita<\/strong> is another name joining the deathmatch group Prominence in the New Year, and this is a perfect match-up to show people just what she can do against one of the best freelancers. <strong>Rina Yamashita<\/strong> recently went on a short excursion to the U.S. to work with <strong>Game Changer Wrestling<\/strong> in the <a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/prowrestling\/2021\/11\/11\/gcw-nick-gage-invitational-6\/\" target=\"_self\"><strong><em>Nick Gage Invitational<\/em><\/strong><\/a>, putting her name out to an international audience. If the international audience translates to this, Fujita will definitely gain some much-deserved attention. This will be another great match between these two, and there is the possibility that Fujita could be a double champion heading into 2022.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/i.imgur.com\/oygYkkT.jpg\" alt=\"RibbonMania 2021 International Ribbon Tag Title Match\" width=\"600\" height=\"337\" \/><\/p>\n<h3><strong>International Ribbon Tag Team Championship: Azure Revolution (Risa Sera and Maya Yukihi) (c) vs Hamuko Hoshi and Ibuki Hoshi\u00a0<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The quest for more defenses continues for <strong>Risa Sera<\/strong> and <strong>Maya Yukihi<\/strong> as they go up against another strong team in the mother-daughter duo of <strong>Hamuko and Ibuki Hoshi<\/strong>. With Yukihi going freelance and Sera being one of the driving forces behind Prominence, they certainly have a lot on their plate to keep the titles. Meanwhile, it seems like Hamuko and Ibushi are fighting not only for the titles but for the titles to stay in Ice Ribbon. Since Ibuki has been stepping up now more than ever, with her amazing chop battle against the former champion Fujimoto, she is one to watch going into 2022, and that will solidify that even more if she manages to capture the International Ribbon Tag Team Championship. It\u2019s hard to tell who will win, since Ice Ribbon isn\u2019t too keen on many freelancers holding their titles, but who knows how long we will have Azure Revolution around as a tag team?<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"600\" height=\"337\" class=\"size-full wp-image-107119 alignnone\" src=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/prowrestling\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/15\/2021\/12\/ribbonmania-2021.jpg\" alt=\"RibbonMania 2021\" srcset=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/prowrestling\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/15\/2021\/12\/ribbonmania-2021.jpg 600w, https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/prowrestling\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/15\/2021\/12\/ribbonmania-2021-300x169.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/p>\n<h3><strong>ICExInfinity Championship: Tsukushi Haruka (c) vs Ram Kaicho<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The <em>RibbonMania 2021<\/em> main event sees <strong>Tsukushi Haruka<\/strong> defending the ICExInfinity Championship against <strong>666\u2019s<\/strong> RebelxEnemy member <strong>Ram Kaicho<\/strong>. Although Kaicho is no stranger to holding titles in Ice Ribbon, this is the first time that she is challenging for the ICExInfinity title. Kaicho is somewhat of a hidden treasure when it comes to wrestling. Despite her size, she makes herself look believable against anyone with her years of experience under her belt. Haruka and Kaicho have faced off in tag matches that turned out to be exciting, so this is certainly worthy of being a main event for Korakuen Hall. Even though Kaicho is an incredible wrestler, it doesn\u2019t seem like Haruka will be losing her championship anytime soon.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><em>Stay tuned to the\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/prowrestling\/\" target=\"_self\">Last Word on Pro Wrestling<\/a>\u00a0for more on this and other stories from around the world of wrestling, as they develop.
