Tokyo Joshi Pro Wrestling pushed out the announcement on their social channels that Maki Itoh and Miyu Yamashita contracted COVID. Both talents took PCR tests that came back positive and they are now off Tokyo Joshi Pro’s 2/19 and 2/23 shows.
Yamashita is the reigning Princess of Princess Champion and was scheduled to take on Shoko Nakajima on the 19th. On that same card, Maki Itoh, International Princess Champion, was set to face Yuki Arai. Itoh and Yamashita are expected to return on February 26th after their quarantine periods.
