Pure-J (ピュアＪ, Pyua J) is a Japanese Joshi puroresu (women's professional wrestling) promotion established on August 11, 2017, by Command Bolshoi.
With the closure of JWP Joshi Puroresu on April 2, 2017, it was announced that Command Bolshoi will be in charge of a new promotion Pure-J. It was also confirmed that Pure-J would retain control of the Daily Sports Women's Tag Team and Princess of Pro-Wrestling Championships.[2] Pure-J held it first event on August 11, 2017.[3]
On October 9, 2017, Pure-J crowned their first Openweight Champion, Hanako Nakamori, where Nakamori defeated Manami Katsu in the finals of a 12-woman tournament to become the inaugural champion.[4] Since then, there have been 7 reigns, with Leon being the current champion in her second reign.[5]
On April 21, 2019, Bolshoi held her retirement show from professional wrestling, where she participated in a gauntlet match that ended in time limit draw.[6]
On May 27, 2020, it was announced that Pure-J joined to Independent Wrestling TV (IWTV), a streaming company which airs independent promotions shows.[7]
