Tonight 10am JST/8 pm EST/ 1 Am GMT LIVE on youtube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VpolCvYE758

I'm going to use Chocopro super fan Dogglesnake's Reddit post to describe the card because it covers everything you need to know:

https://www.reddit.com/r/SquaredCircle/comments/likf8b/tonight_at_8_pm_est_aew_womens_champion_hikaru/ posted:

Holy Shida! The AEW Women's Champion appears in Ichigaya! In a special episode featuring AEW Eliminator challengers, ChocoPro 89 will have only two matches...a double main event! Yunamon will take on Ryo Mizunami, and the Best Bros (Baliyan Akki & Mei Suruga) will take on Emi Sakura & Veny...with Hikaru Shida as the Referee! Good luck, Shida! Tonight at 8 pm EST (Saturday at 1 am GMT, 10 pm JST), Episode 89 is a must-see milestone for ChocoPro! This means two out of the three AEW Women's Champions have appeared on ChocoPro! (Nyla Rose, come to Ichigaya Chocolate Square!)

This is the first time an active AEW Champion has appeared on ChocoPro! Its also the perfect time to get on board and see Mei, Emi, VENY, & Aniki in action before the AEW World Women's Championship Eliminator Tournament begins**!**

Tropical versus Cool! Lariat against Lariat!?

Yunamon vs Ryo Mizunami

Tropical Danger! Yuna Mizumori, also known as the Powerhouse Idol, Yunamon, has been all over the place lately! Between performing live and working at Actwres Girlz (which will also feature Chie soon!) she has been very busy. Yunamon is able to easily raise the energy of the audience with her passion and skill. With a deadly finisher that has never been kicked out of (The Musya-Gaeshi) and an arsenal of moves that can even flatten Akki, her strength and speed are nearly unrivaled in Ichigaya! But this frequent guest might be her match...

The first of the Eliminator Challengers this episode is Ryo Mizunami...better known as Aniki! Why call her Aniki? You'll be completely overwhelmed by her tough charisma! So hard boiled! Carrying herself like a complete star, absolutely oozing cool, and with a set of moves that are flashy as well as heavy, Mizunami has really been slept on by the Western Audience of AEW (She appeared at Double or Nothing 2019!)...so she'll be looking to knock them out of their socks (just like she does all her foes!). This bout will be very, very hard hitting!

Clash of the Challengers! Holy Shida presides!

The Best Bros (Mei Suruga & Baliyan Akki) vs Emi Sakura & Veny

Special Guest Referee: AEW Women's Champion, Hikaru Shida!

While Akki is preparing to return to AJPW (after main eventing ChocoPro & DDT!), Mei is preparing for her match in the Eliminator. She will be taking on the Magical Girl, Yuka Sakazaki, so she will need all the experience she can handle! The Ace & Genius are the Asia Dream Tag Champions, and they always prove why they are the champions in the Chocolate Square (and the ring!). Some of their team attacks still catch me off guard! Such incredible coordination. With both of them improving their technical, high flying, and submission game, will it be enough to handle the task ahead? Akki can nearly fly, and Mei pushes her limits every bout. This match will definitely be a spicy one!

The Queen of Ichigaya & the Genderless Artist, what an ungodly combination! A veteran and master of the promotion, Emi Sakura, tagging with her explosively talented future opponent in the tournament, Veny (Known as ASUKA in Japan). Emi has been getting into amazing shape for the tournament, to the point that most of her moveset has become even more athletic! She still loves Queen, but she loves inflicting damage even more! Veny on the other hand always puts on a great show, her phenomenal abilities paired well with her sassy attitude and overall wonderful presentation. Did you know she has even beaten Hagane Shinno? While these two on their own are dangerous enough, how will they work together...Can they put their future battle aside in order to function as a team, or will things break down against the well oiled machine that is the Best Bros?

The Champion arrives! She will have her hands full as a referee in ChocoPro! They're usually so overworked by the goings on that they tend to get little done. Not to mention, how will Hikaru Shida handle seeing what might be her future? One of Emi's best students, “Holy” Shida has represented AEW well as a fierce champion during this rough time in the world. Looking for further challengers to fall before her, the Eliminator will provide her with her next opponent...While I will obviously be rooting for Emi, it is important to note that Mei Suruga has a victory over Shida...

Here are some Frequently Asked Questions:

“What is this?” ChocoPro is an free online promotion run by AEW's Emi Sakura, that takes place in the legendary Ichigaya Chocolate Square! It features a breakneck pace of live Episode releases, fan interaction, season long story arcs, and much more! A place where the turnbuckles are replaced with 14th floor windows, unforgiving walls provide creative avenues for skills otherwise unthinkable, and you can take solace in knowing that the referees usually do nothing. While it might be a shocking change at first, the intensity and storytelling will leave you wanting more.

“Why are they fighting in ____?” Short answer is that it is a cost effective, unique venue with a better availability schedule and allows the roster access for training. Emi Sakura has been using this place for a long time, and you might be surprised at some of the names that have used it (even outside of ChocoPro!). There are a few in-ring Episodes, and Gatoh Move has in ring shows with crowds on the YouTube channel. Thanks Xalazi for the inspiration here!
