The next event is Saturday at Osaka Prefectural Gym 2 in Osaka. Live streaming on WRESTLE UNIVERSE will begin at 12:30 AM PT/3:30 AM ET, but may be moved up as the Shuhei Taniguchi public weigh-in will be held 20 minutes before the event. If Taniguchi weighs in at 220 pounds/100 kg or less, his match with Eita vs. HAYATA & YO-HEY is for the GHC Junior Heavyweight Tag Team Championship. If Taniguchi weighs over 220 pounds, it’s a NON-TITLE match.

New Japan News: Tokyo Dome Presser Notes

New Japan held a press conference today regarding the Tokyo Dome doubleheader on 1/4 & 1/5. Here are some notes coming out of it-the presser can be watched on demand FOR FREE on YouTube and New Japan World.

First, President Hiroshi Tanahashi announced some more fallout from POWER STRUGGLE Monday: Gabriel Kidd has been fined an undisclosed amount for attacking Kenny Omega backstage after Omega’s appearance. This was not shown on the live broadcast. Tanahashi also apologized to All Elite Wrestling, Omega’s current promotion. Omega hopes to compete on 1/5 at WRESTLE DYNASTY but this is mot guaranteed as he recovers from surgery for diverticulitis.

The 1/4 main event is now official-IWGP World Heavyweight Champion Zack Sabre Jr vs. (to the internet’s dismay) Shota Umino for the title. Also official for 1/4: IWGP Global Champion David Finlay vs. Yota Tsuji for the title and IWGP Junior Heavyweight Champion DOUKI vs. El Desperado for the title. Additionally confirmed: IWGP Junior Heavyweight Tag Team Champions Kevin Knight & KUSHIDA vs. Kosei Fujita & Robbie Eagles, Francesco Akira & TJP and Drilla Moloney & Clark Connors in a 4-way for the titles plus NJPW WORLD TV Champion Ren Narita vs. Jeff Cobb & Ryohei Oiwa in a 3-way for the title. Both are first to score pinfall/submission wins and not elimination matches. Not yet official is an IWGP Heavyweight Tag Team Championship match, expect that after the World Tag League which starts next week and goes into early December. The only other match confirmed so far is Hiroshi Tanahashi vs. EVIL.

The first official match for 1/5 is Sabre vs. Ricochet. At this time it is a NON-TITLE match assuming Sabre is still IWGP World Heavyweight Champion at the time.

Chairman Naoki Sugabayshi also announced broadcast plans for both events: They will both be live on New Japan World. The good news for 1/5: No PPV. 1/4 will begin tentatively at midnight PT/3 AM ET with 1/5 beginning on 1/4 at 8 PM PT/11 PM ET. 1/4 will also be a live & exclusive TV Asahi broadcast in Japan with a replay that night (meaning the Nee Japan World version will be available OUTSIDE JAPAN ONLY) while 1/5 will be a New Japan World 10th Anniversary celebration event and available to all monthly paid subscribers worldwide, so you can essentially watch both for as low as $9.99.

Stardom continued the Goddess Of Stardom Tag League today in Miyazaki.

All-Japan 11/4/24 Results

New Japan Pro Wrestling “POWER STRUGGLE” LIVE Results (11/4/24) (Updated)

New Japan’s last blowout event of the year, POWER STRUGGLE, is on tap for today and it’s probably going to set up the main event for Tokyo Dome as the headliner is an IWGP World Heavyweight Championship match as Zack Sabre Jr. defends the title against Shingo Takagi. Sabre’s post-G1 CLIMAX gamble of cashing in his shot early rather than waiting until 1/4 paid off and following a successful hometown defense in England he’s back in Japan to defend against Takagi,who is looking to become a 2-time champion. And a momentary double champion as Takagi is also the current NEVER Openweight Champion. The IWGP Junior Heavyweight, Heavyweight Tag Team & Global Championships are also up for grabs and the finals of the Super Junior Tag League will also happen as Robbie Eagles & Kosei Fujita face Francesco Akira & TJP. Former New Japan wrestler Kenny Omega, now with All Elite Wrestling but out of action due to health issues, will also be in attendance and make a special appearance.

Today’s event will be held at Osaka Prefectural Gym in Osaka and can be watched LIVE OUTSIDE JAPAN ONLY on New Japan World in Japanese and English. This will be an exclusive TV Asahi broadcast in Japan and thus on demand won’t be available in Japan for a few days. There will also be a pre-show match 30 minutes before the event begins. Including that, as a blowout event with all the title matches I anticipate this event’s total running time being close to 4 hours. Normally I wouldn’t try to pull this off on a Sunday night when I have to work the next morning but since I telework for my job Mondays I’ll give it a shot and see how long I can stay awake. The time change this morning certainly helps.

Today’s lineup:
Pre-show:
Shoma Kato, Capitan Suicida & Tiger Mask vs. Ninja Mack, The DKC & Yoh

Main show:
Katsuya Murashima, Paris de SIlva, Jude London, Kevin Knight & KUSHIDA vs. Gabriel Kidd, Drilla Moloney, Clark Connors, Robbie X & Taiji Ishimori
Dragon Dia, Ryusuke Taguchi, Tomoaki Honma & Toru Yano vs. BUSHI, Hiromu Takahashi, Yota Tsuji & Tetsuya Naito
Boltin Oleg & Hiroshi Tanahashi vs. Ren Narita & EVIL
Shota Umino vs. SANADA
IWGP Heavyweight Tag Team Champions Shane Haste & Mikey Nicolls vs. HENARE & Great-O-Khan for the titles
Super Junior Tag League Finals: Kosei Fujita & Robbie Eagles vs. Francesco Akira & TJP
IWGP Junior Heavyweight Champion DOUKI vs. Master Wato for the title
IWGP Global Champion David Finlay vs. Taichi for the title
IWGP World Heavyweight Champion Zack Sabre Jr. vs. Shingo Takagi for the title

Updates below will begin at 9:30 PM PT/12:30 PM ET for the pre-show. The main show begins at 10 PM PT/1 AM ET. New Japan World launched the stream in pre-show mode just before 8 PM PT/11 PM ET.

9 PM PT UPDATE: You will also be able to watch the first 2 matches of the main show FOR FREE on YouTube. The YouTube broadcast WILL NOT include the pre-show match at this time.

9:30 PM PT UPDATE: Live updates start now.

We are LIVE from Osaka Prefectural Gym in Osaka, Japan. Your Japanese hosts are Milano Collection A.T. and I didn’t catch the main announcer’s name. Your English hosts are Walker Stewart & Chris Charlton. No guest on Japanese commentary yet, that seat will be filled later.

The paid attendance will be announced after the event. The crowd is still filing in but already looks quite full. The setup appears to be for in the 3500-4000 range (the venue’s normal non-sumo capacity is around 5000) so after Dragon Gate did almost 2700 yesterday I’m going to predict roughly 3300 today. (UPDATE: The announced paid attendance was 3773)

Pre-show match: Shoma Kato, Capitan Suicida & Tiger Mask vs. Ninja Mack, The DKC & Yoh. 20 minute time limit
Result: Ninja Mack, The DKC & Yoh beat Shoma Kato, Capitan Suicida & Tiger Mask. DKC pinned Kato.

Updates will resume when the main show begins at 10 PM PT/1 AM ET.

10 PM PT UPDATE: Main show updates begin now.

Match 1: Katsuya Murashima, Paris de SIlva, Jude London, Kevin Knight & KUSHIDA vs. Gabriel Kidd, Drilla Moloney, Clark Connors, Robbie X & Taiji Ishimori. 20 minute time limit
Result: Gabriel Kidd, Drilla Moloney,, Clark Connors, Robbie X & Taiji Ishimori beat Katsuya Murashima, Paris de Silva, Jude London, Kevin Knight & KUSHIDA. Kidd pinned Murashima after Drill-A-Hole Piledriver. And all the other Bullet Club finishers first.

Match 2: Dragon Dia (Dragon Gate), Ryusuke Taguchi, Tomoaki Honma & Toru Yano vs. BUSHI, Hiromu Takahashi, Yota Tsuji & Tetsuya Naito. 20 minute time limit
Result: BUSHI, Hiromu Takahashi, Yota Tsuji & Tetsiuya Naito beat Dragon Dia, Ryusuke Taguchi, Tomoaki Honma & Toru Yano. Takahashi beat Honma with a modified sharpshooter.

Match 3: Boltin Oleg & Hiroshi Tanahashi vs. Ren Narita & EVIL. 30 minute time limit
Result: Ren narita & EVIL beat Boltin Oleg & Hiroshi Tanahashi. Narita pinned Oleg. Of course the Bullet Club beatdown followed on Tanahashi. EVIL with microphone. Taunting before Gedo gave him scissors before Jado tried to make the save, which didn’t go well. Back in the ring, Narita low blowed Oleg then hit Double Cross as Tanahashi was dragged to the back, as Ryohei Oiwa hit the ring to confront Narita. Oiwa with microphone. NJPW WORLD TV Championship challenge issued. But then Jeff Cobb stormed in and shoved Oiwa aside, which led to them going at it as Narita bailed. Narita won the title from Cobb in a 3-way. Such a rematch?

Match 4: Shota Umino vs. SANADA. 30 minute time limit
Result: Shota Umino beat SANADA

Match 5: IWGP Heavyweight Tag Team Champions Shane Haste & Mikey Nicolls vs. HENARE & Great-O-Khan for the titles. 1 Hour time limit
Result: HENARE & Great-O-Khan beat IWGP Heavyweight Tag Team Champions Shane Haste & Mikey Nicholls to win the titles. HENARE & Khan become the 105th IWGP Heavyweight Tag Team Champions. Khan pinned Nicholls after Imperial Drop.

Kenny Omega comes out. Addresses the crowd in Japanese then in English, saying he would like to return to New Japan on 1/5 as a member of AEW.

Hiromu Takahashi is now the guest on Japanese commentary.

Match 6: Super Junior Tag League Finals: Kosei Fujita & Robbie Eagles vs. Francesco Akira & TJP. No time limit
Result: Kosei Fujita & Robbie Eagles beat Francesco Akira & TJP to win the tournament. Eagles pinned TJP. As a result, Fujita & Eagles also get an IWGP Junior Heavyweight Tag Team Championship shot at a later date. KUSHIDA & Knight came out to accept the obligatory challenge, which Knight said will happen at Tokyo Dome…but could be a 3-way with Akira & TJP. But then Drilla Moloney & Clark Connors stormed out for a beatdown on everyone with chairs. Bullet Club with microphone. They want in too. We shall see.

Match 7: IWGP Junior Heavyweight Champion DOUKI vs. Master Wato for the title. 1 Hour time limit
Result: IWGP Junior Heavyweight Champion DOUKI beat Master Wato by ref stoppage (technical submission) to retain the title. V4 for DOUKI. Next up: El Desperado. Likely at Tokyo Dome.

Match 8: IWGP Global Champion David Finlay beat Taichi to retain the title. V4 for Finlay. Huge shocker at the end…SANADA turned on Taichi and defected to Bullet Club. Next up: If Finlay gets his wish, Tsuji.

Main Event: IWGP World Heavyweight Champion Zack Sabre Jr. beat Shingo Takagi to retain the title. V2 for Sabre. Next up: Umino, much to the crowd’s dismay…or…Ricochet? Stay tuned, but it’s going to be the Tokyo Dome main event.

The next event is Fighting Spirit Unleashed 2024 Friday at Lowell Memorial Auditorium in Lowell, MA. Live streaming on New Japan World will begin at 3:30 PM PT/6:30 PM ET. It will be available for all monthly paid subscribers at no additional charge. It also will be available as a PPV on Triller/FITE for $19.99.

The next Japan event is NEW JAPAN ROAD in ANJO Saturday at Tosho Anjo Arena in Aichi. The card will be announced the day of the event with Stardom wrestler Tam Nakano also participating. There will be no live or on demand broadcast.

UPDATE: There are unconfirmed reports that Ricochet will get an IWGP World Heavyweight Championship shot on 1/5 at WRESTLE DYNASTY at the Tokyo Dome. It also sounds like Sabre will let NJPW decide when Umino gets his title shot. Unless it’s during the next tour or the Road to Tokyo Dome tour to end the year, it’ll almost certainly be 1/4. Not happening at HISTORIC X-OVER 2 without card changes because Sabre already is in a crossover tag match. We may know more tomorrow or Wednesday after the usual post-major event presser back in Tokyo.

DDT 11/4/24 LIVE Results

DDT is back in Tokyo for a special free event today, and one that is far bigger than the usual free mini-events as it’s closer to a typical event. Today’s headliner is a KO-D Openweight Championship match with a lot of Baka-Shinya Aoki aka Baka Survivor defends the title against Chris Brookes aka Baka Gaijin as the latter looks to become a 2-time champion. There also may be some entertainment on tap as members of KLP48, a Malaysia idol group, are scheduled to perform a mini-concert and maybe we’ll see an appearance by Kumatori, a musician/dancer who will be making his pro wrestling debut at the end of December. That was just announced earlier today on DDT’s website. And just in time for US elections Tuesday, DDT’s Japanese wrestling politician SHinichiro Kawamatsu is back in action today too.

Today’s event will be held at Sumida City Gym aka Higashin Arena in Tokyo and can be watched LIVE on WRESTLE UNIVERSE. It’s not yet known if there will be any commentary. Also, it has been announced that the KLP48 performance will not be part of the live or on demand broadcast due to copyright reasons so if that doesn’t come first or last there may be a break in the broadcast at some point. Based on the rest of the card and the title match I anticipate today’s event running close to 3 hours, so if like me you plan to watch New Japan’s major event later some split-screening setups may be needed for a bit.

Today’s lineup:
Keigo Nakamura & Yuki Ishida vs. Yuni & Kazuma Sumi
Touchikun & Pocotan vs. Oshinarikun & Higapyon
Daisuke Sasaki, MJ Paul, KANON & Demus vs. Tetsuya Endo, Yuki Iino, Masa Takanashi & Yuya Koroku
Toru Owashi & Kazuki Hirata vs. Makoto Oishi & Takao Soma
Takeshi Masada vs. Illusion
Jun Akiyama, Yukio Naya & Shinichiro Kawamatsu vs. Satoshi Kojima, Akito & Antonio Honda
Yuki Ueno, Shunma Katsumata & To-y vs. HARASHIMA, Danshoku Dieno & Super Sasadango Machine
KO-D Openweight Champion Shinya Aoki vs. Chris Brookes for the title

Refresh this page occasionally for the latest results.

Updates below will begin at 8 PM PT/11 PM ET. The live stream is scheduled to begin 20 minutes before the event.

7:40 PM PT UPDATE: The live stream has begun. We should be going to the venue in 15-20 minutes.

7:50 PM PT UPDATE: Live updates begin now.

We are LIVE from Sumida City Gym aka Higashin Arena in Tokyo, Japan. There is no commentary.

The paid attendance will NOT be announced after the event this time because it’s a free admission event. The crowd is still filing in but the potential number already is looking good. They just did some reserved sections for WRESTLE UNIVERSE members. (UPDATE They did announce attendance of 2200 afterwards. While the venue was not completely full, it would under normal circumstances have qualified as a super full house/very near sellout)

The matches should begin in about 15 minutes.

Oh wait, we’ve got trouble brewing with Danshoku Dieno & The37Kamiina. And I see referee Daisuke Kiso nearby…and Yukinori Matsui, the other referee. And they’re in the ring! The37Kamiina and Dieno with Super Sasadango Machine and HARASHIMA and now I see GM Imabayashi…so apparently Yuki Ueno has the DDT Iron Man Heavymetalweight Championship belt, meaning he must have won it from Dieno and we don’t know it yet. Apparently a match was made and then Machine tried but failed to win the title from Ueno. That leads into the opening announcements. The first of what probably will be several sponsor plugs/appearance today follows.

The matches begin at 8:02 PM PT/11:02 PM ET. And there is Japanese commentary! Your hosts are Haruo Murata & Kagehiro Osano.

Match 1: Keigo Nakamura & Yuki Ishida vs. Yuni & Kazuma Sumi. 30 minute time limit
Result: Yuni & Kazuma Sumi beat Keigo Nakamura & Yuki Ishida. Sumi pinned Ishida.

Quick break for more GM Imabayashi announcements. This includes the next sponsor rep intro, and they take over on commentary for the next match.

Match 2: Touchikun & Pocotan vs. Oshinarikun & Higapyon. 30 minute time limit. Giant mascot comedy match
Result: Oshinarikun & Higapyon beat Touchikun & Pocotan. Oshinarikun pinned Pocotan. Maybe the first match ever with actual live commentary in the arena, not just on the broadcast.

Match 3: Daisuke Sasaki, MJ Paul, KANON & Demus vs. Tetsuya Endo, Yuki Iino, Masa Takanashi & Yuya Koroku. 30 minute time limit
Result: Daisuke Sasaki, MJ Paul, KANON & Demus beat Tetsuya Endo, Yuki Iino, Masa Takanashi & Yuya Koroku. Sasaki beat Takanashi with a crossface.

KLP48 mini-live. This will not be shown on the stream for copyright reasons so, for us UNIVERSE viewers, intermission. The stream will resume after the performance (starting at 8:50 PM PT/11:50 PM ET) which should last 10-15 minutes. Updates will resume at that time. During the break the stream will show information about the rest of today’s lineup and also upcoming events.

The stream resumes at 9:07 PM PT/12:07 AM ET with the mini-live concluded.

Match 4: Toru Owashi & Kazuki Hirata vs. Makoto Oishi (Independent/Freelancer) & Takao Soma. 30 minute time limit
Result: Makoto Oishi & Takao Soma beat Toru Owashi & Kazuki Hirata. Soma pinned Hirata. Comedy match. On his way out of the ring area, Owashi tossed the DDT O-40 Championship belt to a fan in the crowd.

Match 5: Takeshi Masada vs. Illusion. 30 minute time limit
Result: Illusion beat Takeshi Masada. Lots of Damnation TA interference.

Intermission. Sounds like 15 minutes. Updates will resume after the break, which should be around 9:55 PM PT.

The matches resume at 9:55 PM PT/12:55 AM ET.

Match 6: Jun Akiyama, Yukio Naya & Shinichiro Kawamatsu vs. Satoshi Kojima (New Japan), Akito & Antonio Honda. 30 minute time limit
Result: Jun Akiyama, Yukio Naya & SHinichiro Kawamatsu beat Satoshi Kojima, Akito & Antonio Honda. Kawamatsu pinned Honda after a shoulder block spear.

Yuki Iino with microphone. It was announced that on 12/22 at Korakuen Hall he will face New Japan’s Tomohiro Ishii.

Match 7: Yuki Ueno, Shunma Katsumata & To-y vs. HARASHIMA, Danshoku Dieno & Super Sasadango Machine. 30 minute time limit
Result: Double pinfall when To-y pinned DIeno and Machine pinned Ueno to win the DDT Iron Man Heavymetalweight Championship. Machine becomes the 1687th Champion. (I think). Situation explained by referee Daisuke Kiso. Which led to…
Match 7 (again): Yuki Ueno, Shunma Katsumata & To-y vs. HARASHIMA, Danshoku Dieno & Super Sasadango Machine. 30 minute time limit. Match restarted.
Result: Yuki Ueno, Shunma Katsumata & To-y beat HARAHSIMA, Danshoku Dieno & Super Sasadango Machine, with Katsumata pinning Machine to win the title. Katsumata becomes the 1688th Champion. Machine voluntarily unmasked himself briefly during the match. Afterwards, Ueno & Katsumata with microphone to celebrate. Which led to…
Yuni beat DDT Iron Man Heavymetalweight Champion Shunma Katsumata to win the title. Yuni becomes the 1689th Champion. Katsumata slipped a couple times on the plastic covering on the floor trying to run after Yuni.

Main Event: KO-D Openweight Champion Shinya Aoki vs. Chris Brookes for the title. 1 Hour time limit
Result: Chris Brookes beat KO-D Openweight Champion Shinya Aoki by submission to win the title. Brookes becomes the 84th KO-D Openweight Champion. And now a 2-time champion. Post-match promo quickly interrupted by Damnation TA. Next up: Daisuke Sasaki. GM Imabayashi makes it official for the year-end blowout event on 12/28 at Ryogoku Kokugikan.

The next event is CHARISMANIA, a Daisuke Sasaki Produced event, Wednesday at Shinjuku Face. Live streaming on WRESTLE UNIVERSE will begin at 2 AM PT/5 AM ET.
