Today’s event was held at Shinjuku Face in Tokyo and can be watched on demand on DRAGONGATE NETWORK (includes Japanese commentary).

The paid attendance has not yet been announced.

Pre-show match: YAMATO, JACKY KAMEI & Luis Mante vs. Kzy, Hyo & ? went to a no contest. Z-Brats interference.

Match 1: Diamante (Luis Mante, who was masked until losing his mask) & TBA, revealed at match time to be the returning from injury Dragon Kid, beat ISHIN & Yoshiki Kato. Mante pinned ISHIN after Vuelta Finale.

Match 2: Masked Z beat Riiita by DQ. Unmasked.

Match 3: Gianni Valetta beat Shuji Ishikawa by countout. But it looked like a double countout. Apparently Shun Skywalker changed the rules.

Intermission.

Match 4: Taiji Ishimori & TBA (New Japan), revealed at match time to be SANADA, beat KAI & Jason Lee by DQ. KAI DQ’d. Guitar use fake out.

Main Event: BUSHI, Hiromu Takahashi & Shingo Takagi (New Japan) beat Shun Skywalker, Kota Minoura & Homare. BUSHI pinned Skywalker. Z-Brats attempted foreign object use on Takagi backfired.

The next event is Saturday at Kirameki Minatokan in Fukui with the final Rey De Parejas prelims. There will be no live or on demand broadcast, but the Rey De Parejas matches will be made available on demand FOR FREE on YouTube at some point after the event.

Stardom News: 4/27 Title Matches Announced, More

After this weekend’s events in Okinawa, Stardom has announced additional title matches for their 4/27 event at Yokohama Arena in Yokohama, likely their biggest event of the year:
After successfully defending the Goddesses Of Stardom Championship, Hanan & Saya Iida didn’t wait for a challenger to emerge. Instead Hanan chose the next challengers-Hazuki & Koguma, who will look to become 3-time champions.
Also announced is IWGP Women’s Champion Mayu Iwatani vs. Syuri for the title. Unless something unexpected happens before then, it means Iwatani’s reign will pass 2 years (she won the title on 4/23/2023) as she goes for a 10th successful defense.

Also, effective immediately I will no longer be doing live results for Stardom events going forward. Based on persistent technical issues with Stardom World and an overabundance of overpriced PPVs (FIVE just this month), I have cancelled my monthly paid subscription. However, if schedules allow I may do live results for their April US events as those likely will be available on Triller/FITE (it depends on my work schedule-if they are on a Monday, Friday or weekend I can watch live). Also not affected are NEW BLOOD events as these are available only on YouTube.

Injury Report: The To-y Is Still Broken

Injuries are piling up again for DDT despite some pending returns (Kazusada Higuchi is back after an extended absence and Naomi Yoshimura returns in April after being out over 2 1/2 years), an update came out today not for the serious injury to Masa Takanashi (a big focus among the roster at yesterday’s event as many post-match promos/comments focused on him) but to the also-injured To-y. Unspecified injury which kept him out last week, still don’t know what it is but he is now out at least another week, That means he is now off Wednesday & Thursday. Several changes have been made to both events.

Sumo-March 2025 Grand Sumo Tournament Day 15 Results (Final Day) (3/23/2025)

Here are the quick results from today’s Day 15-the Final Day-of the March 2025 Grand Sumo Tournament in Osaka:
Key: M-Maegashira, K-Komusubi, S-Sekiwake, O-Ozeki, J-Juryo, Ms-Makushita, Sd-Sandanme, Jd-Jonidan, Jk-Jonokuchi

Makuuchi (top tier):
Onokatsu (M12) beat Shirokuma (M17)
Midorifuji (M11) beat Mitakeumi (M17)
Kotoshoho (M16) beat Endo (M9)
Hakuoho (M9) beat Asakoryu (M16)
Ryuden (M14) beat Oshoma (M8)
Sadanoumi (M15) beat Atamifuji (M8)
Tamawashi (M7) beat Shishi (M13)
Shodai (M7) beat Nishikigi (M10)
Kinbozan (M5) beat Shonannoumi (M10)
Ichiyamamoto (M4) beat Takarafuji (M12)
Ura (M5) beat Tobizaru (M3)
Meisei (M11) beat Chiyoshoma (M2)
Gonoyama (M2) beat Takanosho (M3)
Wakamotoharu (M1) beat Takerufuji (M6)
Wakatakakage (M1) beat Hiradoumi (M6)
Takayasu (M4) beat Abi (K)
Kirishima (K) beat Tokihayate (M18)
Aonishiki (M15) beat Oho (S)
Churanoumi (M14) beat Daieisho (S)
Onosato (O) beat Kotozakura (O). PLAYOFF!!!
Playoff: Onosato beat Takayasu. ONOSATO YUSHO!!! The 3rd career Emperor’s Cup for Onosato!
CHAMPION: Onosato (12-3)
Of note: He did his part first despite a HENKA! by Abi, but…once again, SO CLOSE! And yet so painfully far away…NINTH runner-up finish in the top tier for Takayasu and still no championship for the former Ozeki. Happy for Onosato because now he’s on Yokozuna Watch in May but again gutted for Takayasu. But he made it through all 15 days healthy and when he’s in that state, he does very well at 35 and he’ll be back. He could be back in Sanyaku but it depends on space because while Abi & Oho will be demoted (the latter possibly to M1) Kirishima and both the Wakas clinched promotion so Kirishima will at least stay Komusubi while Wakamotoharu & Wakatakakage should move up again and Daieisho will stay Sekiwake. I think Takayasu gets back to Komusubi. As for Onosato, if he can repeat or improve on this in May we could be looking at two Yokozuna active for the first time in quite some time. With regards to Daieisho, his loss means his unofficial magic number for Ozeki Watch in May is 13, which would get him to the supposed win threshold for consideration for promotion. But his chances are better if he can win the championship. Another big question mark is are we maybe seeing the end of Mitakeumi? He could complete a dramatic fall from Ozeki to Juryo as he is in danger of demotion below the top tier for the first time in nearly 10 years-the last time he was below the top tier was September 2015. No double-digit finishes since Ozeki promotion either.
Elsewhere, it was a very happy birthday for Aonishiki, as the birthday boy finished his top tier rookie effort with a showcase win to end with 11, a runner-up finish AND his first Special Prize. Churanoumi also became the first rikishi from Okinawa to win a Special Prize as he earned FIghting Spirit with his win.

SPECIAL PRIZES:
Outstanding Performance (best record with most wins vs. Yokozuna & Ozeki): None. Largely because both Abi & Ichiyamamoto didn’t meet criteria
Fighting Spirit (most wins and best display of fighting spirit): Aonishiki, Churanoumi. Tokihayate would have won this with a victory
Technique (best display of technique): Takayasu

Juryo:
Mita (Ms4) beat Otsuji (J14)
Tsurugisho (J11) beat Tohakuryu (J9)
Daiamami (Ms2) beat Hokutofuji (J8) by default/withdrawal
Kazekeno (J13) beat Kotoeiho (J7)
Mitoryu (J6) beat Hatsuyama (J13)
Kusano (J14) beat Fujiseiun (J5)
Tomokaze (J7) beat Nabatame (J5)
Hidenoumi (J6) beat Oshoumi (J4)
Shiden (J4) beat Hitoshi (J12)
Tochitaikai (J3) beat Shimanoumi (J10)
Roga (J3) beat Wakaikari (J9)
Daiseizen (J10) beat Kayo (J2)
Wakanosho (J11) beat Kagayaki (J1)
Hakuyozan (J8) beat Tamashoho (J1)
CHAMPION: Kusano (14-1)
WITHDRAWAL: Hokutofuji (J8). Knee. Injured during Day 14 match. Rumors are he will be demoted to Makushita after a 3-12 finish for the first time in about a decade so this could be career-threatening. Daiamami got the fusen as a result, plus a potential promotion back to Juryo.
Of note: After his absolute domination and winning by 3 wins over the field, the only question now for Kusano is whether or not he makes the top tier in May. Based on numbers, it’s a definite toss-up. At least 3 from the top tier will or may be demoted and Roga will be promoted back up (11-4 at J3), Tamashoho is going up (8-7 at J1), Kayo is a maybe (9-6 at J2). So at best he does, at worst he’s J1. Here’s how close it would have been without Kusano-Roga’s 11-4 would have won it and only one other wrestler-Hidenoumi-even managed 10 wins. Elsewhere, the only sure thing is Otsuji and Kiryuko (mid-tournament withdrawal, finished essentially 2-13 at J12) will be demoted while Hokutofuji is a possibility-that would be the first time in 9 years should it happen.
Miyagi will be promoted to Juryo from Makushita while Mita has a chance as does champion Oshoryu (but it’s a big jump from Ms28 so it will come down to a spot being available as Daiamami has a return chance along with Mudoho, although both were only 4-3. Akua also has a chance after 6-1 at Ms6).

TOURNAMENT CHAMPIONS:
Makuuchi: Onosato (O). 3rd career top tier championship
Juryo: Kusano (J14). 1st career championship
Makushita: Oshoryu (Ms28). 4th career championship, 1st Makushita
Sandanme: Asanoyama (Sd21). 5th career championship, 2nd Sandanme
Jonidan: Daikisho (Jd4). 2nd career championship, 1st Jonidan, 2nd consecutive
Jonokuchi: Chiyotenfu (Jk7). 1st career championship

The next tournament is 5/11-5/25 at Ryogoku Kokugikan in Tokyo. The Banzuke will be announced on 4/28. We’ll get early ranking news/hints and more later this week.

Tokyo Joshi Pro 3/23/25 Results & News (Updated)

Tokyo Joshi Pro kicked off the spring 2025 house show tour today in Yokohama, the first event after GRAND PRINCESS ’25, with lots of news coming out of it.

Today’s event was held at Yokohama Radiant Hall in Yokohama and can be watched on demand on WRESTLE UNIVERSE.

The announced paid attendance was 258, a super full house/very near sellout.

Match 1: Mahiro Kiryu beat Ivy Steele.

Match 2: Rika Tatsumi beat HIMAWARI & Neko Haruna in a 3-way by pinning both together.

Match 3: Raku & Pom Harajuku beat Yoshiko Hasegawa & Chika nanase. Raku pinned Nanase after Doctor Yellow.

Main Event: Mizuki, Miyu Yamashita & Kaya Toribami beat Yuki Aino, Moka Miyamoto & Shino Suzuki. Yamashita pinned Suzuki after Skull Kick.

During the event, the promotion announced that all 3 titles will be defended at their upcoming USA event on 4/18 in Las Vegas, NV as part of The Collective 2025. First up, the Princess Of Princess Championship and, much to my delight, Mizuki’s second reign might be ending soon because next up is Yamashita, going for an unprecedented 5th reign. There also will be an International Princess Championship match as Suzume will defend against Jada Stone, one of the many top prospects who came to Japan in the last couple years and made an immediate massive impact. Finally, the Princess Tag Team Championship match will be Shoko Nakajima & Hyper Misao defending the titles against Yuki Kamifuku & Wakana Uehara, and Uehara revealed they have come up with quite the name for their pairing-Ober Eats. Yeah, a play on Uber Eats and Uehara’s love of good food. The rest of the card is TBA with one exception-already announced before was Miu Watanabe vs. Masha Slamovich. Most of the roster is already set for this event-not participating are Haru Kazashiro, Chika Nanase, Kira Summer, Toga and Neko Haruna. More outside/international participation is also TBA but Max The Impaler and WWE ID prospect Zara Zakher are also confirmed.

The next event is “Yuki Arai’s Last Two-Sword Style-Go For The Victory!” Saturday at Chunichi Hall in Nagoya, the first half of a doubleheader coinciding with Arai’s final performances with SKE48. In addition to being in a 10-woman tag match, Arai will be part of a mini-live performance with Up Up Girls. Live streaming on WRESTLE UNIVERSE will begin Friday at 8 PM PT/11 PM ET.

In other news, it was announced that the final Yuki Arai SKE48 performance on 3/30 will be available live and on demand as a PPV on WRESTLE UNIVERSE. The event, to be held at Chunichi Hall, is scheduled to have 3 TJPW matches (TBA) and Arai’s final performance with her SKE48 teammates, which is scheduled to run 90 minutes. The PPV is available for pre-order for 3000 Japanese yen (around $20 US), but if you are a monthly paid WRESTLE UNIVERSE member you only pay 2500 yen (around $17 US). The event will be available to watch on demand until 4/6 at 10 PM PT/4/7 at 1 AM ET and can be purchased until 24 hours prior. Start time (scheduled to include a pre-show) is Saturday at 11:20 PM PT/2:20 AM ET. After this performance Arai will be joining TJPW full-time going forward but will be taking a break for most of April, however she will be part of the USA event.

Elsewhere, you may remember the plan for the SETUP All-Asia Championship after GRAND PRINCESS ’25 was for the champion coming out to next defend against the winner of a match in Thailand between Matcha & Alexis Lee in the near-future. No longer the case. TJPW announced that NEW Champion Raku will instead defend first against Nor Phoenix Diana, a wrestler from Malaysia. That match will happen on 5/5 at Osaka Prefectural Gym 2 in Osaka. Diana competes in Malaysia promotion APAC Wrestling and is said to be among the top women wrestlers in Southeast Asia along with Lee & Matcha, She is 25 and has 9 years experience. Diana will also compete on the 5/3 event in Saitama.

UPDATE: In non-event news, the promotion now has its own unique website separate from DDT’s website as the former website is being shut down in favor of unique websites for both. Effective immediately, the new TJPW website URL is https://www.tjpw.jp/

All-Japan Pro Wrestling 3/23/25 LIVE Results (Updated)

All-Japan today holds NEW AGE CHRONICLE Z 6, the latest event in the series of Rising Hayato Produced events focused on younger & less experienced wrestlers (those with less than 10 years experience). The series has been very successful so far despite some hints the prior events would have been it, and it’s back for another installment today. In addition to the All-Japan roster members meeting the under-10-years-experience criteria, several independent wrestlers will be part of today’s event as well. The main event will be the 4 members of Hayato’s ELPIDA faction facing off in a 4-way.

Today’s event will be held at Shin-Kiba 1st Ring in Tokyo and can be watched LIVE on AJPW.TV. You will also be able to watch the first 2 matches-FOR FREE on YouTube. The event is a legit advance sellout. There will be no commentary. With only 5 matches and short ones at that it won’t be a long event despite there being an intermission, so anticipate the whole thing running just under 2 hours.

Rising Hayato comes out first to greet the crowd. As usual they have to mute the music.

The matches begin at 8:06 PM PT/11:06 PM ET. Music muted for the non-All-Japan wrestlers. (Actually they are inexplicably muting ALL music except for announcing wrestler names and winners)

Sumo-March 2025 Grand Sumo Tournament Day 14 Results (3/22/25) (Top 2 Tiers) (Updated)

Here are the quick results from today’s Day 14-the penultimate day-of the March 2025 Grand Sumo Tournament in Osaka:
Key: M-Maegashira, K-Komusubi, S-Sekiwake, O-Ozeki, J-Juryo, Ms-Makushita

Makuuchi (top tier):
Onokatsu (M12) beat Ryuden (M14)
Midorifuji (M11) beat Sadanoumi (M15)
Meisei (M11) beat Mitakeumi (M17)
Nishikigi (M10) beat Shirokuma (M17)
Shonannoumi (M10) beat Asakoryu (M16)
Shishi (M13) beat Endo (M9)
Shodai (M7) beat Kotoshoho (M16)
Tokihayate (M18) beat TamawashI (M7)
Aonishiki (M15) beat Takerufuji (M6)
Churanoumi (M14) beat Takayasu (M4)
Hakuoho (M9) beat Tobizaru (M3)
Gonoyama (M2) beat Takarafuji (M12)
Chiyoshoma (M2) beat Takanosho (M3)
Oshoma (M8) beat Wakatakakage (M1)
Wakamotoharu (M1) beat Atamifuji (M8)
Kirishima (K) beat Kinbozan (M5)
Ura (M5) beat Abi (K)
Oho (S) beat Ichiyamamoto (M4)
Onosato (O) beat Daieisho (S)
Hiradoumi (M6) beat Kotozakura (O)
Leader: Takayasu, Onosato (11-3)
Of note: Oh no…that was my first reaction when Takayasu lost. The match just went too long and he couldn’t finish. Not again…he could have clinched the championship if all went well but now he must beat the always-tricky Abi tomorrow AND Onosato must lose in the Ozeki Showdown against Kotozakura to be champion. If both win, there will be a playoff. If Onosato wins and Takayasu loses, Onosato wins his third championship. But if both lose, there not only will be a playoff, it could be up to a 5-way playoff because that means Aonishiki, Churanoumi and Tokihayate all can get in with wins….and none face each other. Also, if Onosato wins then no matter what happens he’ll likely be on Yokozuna watch and have a chance at pomotion after May if he can win the championship. As for who the 10-4 trio face, Tokihayate is first and has Kirishima, who needs a win to stay in Sanyaku (7-7). Aonishiki has Oho, who is in a likewise situation despite demotion from Sekiwake coming (6-8). Churanoumi faces Daieisho (9-5), looking to make his chances for Ozeki promotion after May slightly better. Right now, the unofficial magic number for Daieisho in May will be 13-a win lowers it to 12, but he also can get there with a championship.

Juryo:
Kazekeno (J13) beat Ishizaki (Ms1)
Miyagi (Ms1) beat Hokutofuji (J11)
Hatsuyama (J13) beat Tomokaze (J7)
Otsuji (J14) beat Kotoeiho (J7)
Kusano (J14) beat Hidenoumi (J6)
Nabatame (J5) beat Mitoryu (J6)
Fujiseiun (J5) beat Shimanoumi (J10)
Daiseizan (J10) beat Shiden (J4)
Oshoumi (J4) beat Tohakuryu (J9)
Roga (J3) beat Hitoshi (J12)
Tochitaikai (J3) beat Wakanosho (J11)
Kayo (J2) beat Hakuyozan (J8)
Wakaikari (J9) beat Tamashoho (J1)
Tsurugisho (J11) beat Kagayaki (J1)
Leader: Kusano (13-1)
Of note: I think Kusano will be promoted to the top tier if he wins tomorrow to finish his championship-winning effort at 14-1. Right now it’s a toss-up but he will have a chance with 13-2 even if he loses. Not helping is Roga likely taking away a spot as he’s almost certainly headed back to the top tier with 10 wins now and Kayo will have a chance with 9 so far. Kusano will go for 14-1 against Fujiseiun, who is 9-5. Elsewhere, I also believe that despite missing several days with injuries, both Oshoumi & Nabatame saved their Juryo spots with wins today. Miyagi clinched promotion to Juryo in May today but Ishizaki, the younger brother of Asakoryu (formerly Ishizaki), missed out and gets demoted instead. A mixed bag for the promotion chances for Makushita Champion Oshoryu, who sees one potential opening taken away. It sounds like it may come down to what Daiamami and Mita do tomorrow in Juryo (both are 3-3) and Akua in Makushita tomorrow (5-1 at Ms6). At worst he’s going to be looking at perhaps Ms3.

Lower tier notes: Lost in the shuffle yesterday was news that Enho won his final Makushita match so that’s a 5th straight 6-1 result in his comeback effort. It won’t get him back to Juryo in May but it puts a July return within reach. We’ll see how things shake out tomorrow but if I had to guess where he’ll be next time, I’ll put him somewhere between Ms7 & Ms11.

Reminder: NHK World Japan will have 90 minutes of LIVE top tier coverage tomorrow FOR FREE, including the final matches, potential playoff if necessary, awards ceremony & champion’s interview, beginning at 12:30 AM PT/3:30 AM ET.

UPDATE: In Juryo Hokutofuji has WITHDRAWN ahead of the final day. Right knee. This is leading to expectations of demotion to Makushita after finishing 3-12. Daiamami gets the fusen as a result.

Pro Wrestling NOAH 3/22/25 Results

Pro Wrestling NOAH ran this month’s STAR NAVIGATION 2025 event today in Tokyo.

Main Event: GHC Heavyweight Champion OZAWA beat Masa Kitamiya to retain the title. V3 for OZAWA. Next up: KENTA. That match will happen on 5/3 at Ryogoku Kokugikan (and if it wasn’t for timing of boarding a cruise in Tokyo, I may have been able to attend that event!).

It also was announced post-event that on 4/6 at Osaka Prefectural Gym 2 in Osaka, there will be a match of Jack Morris & Daga vs. Kaito Kiyomiya & Galeno for the vacant GHC Heavyweight Tag Team Championship.

The next event is Friday at Yokohama Radiant Hall in Kanagawa for the first half of a doubleheader. Live streaming on WRESTLE UNIVERSE will begin at 2:30 AM PT/5:30 AM ET.

Dragon Gate 3/20/25 Results

Dragon Gate continued the Rey De Parejas yesterday with the penultimate matches of the preliminary round.

Yesterday’s event was held at Atelier Hineji in Hyogo and can be watched on demand on DRAGONGATE NETWORK.

The announced paid attendance was 325.

Match 1: Luis Mante beat U-T.

Match 2; KAI, Gianni Valetta & Homare beat Ben-K, JACKY KAMEI & Riiita. Valetta pinned Riiita after a King Kong kneedrop.

Match 3: Genki Horiguchi beat Madoka Kikuta.

Match 4: Rey De Parejas Block B: Kuroshio TOKYO Japan & Hyo beat Masaaki Mochizuki & Akihiro Sahara. Hyo pinned Sahara after Samson Driver.

Match 5: Rey De Parejas Block A: Yuki Yoshioka & Dragon Dia vs. ISHIN & Yoshiki Kato went to a double countout. No points.

Match 6: Susumu Yokosuka, Kagetora & Naruki Doi (Independent/Freelancer) beat Shun Skywalker, Kota Minoura & Jason Lee by DQ. Minoura DQ’d. Z-Brats interference & ref assault.

Main Event: Rey De Parejas Block B: YAMATO & BxB Hulk beat Strong Machine J & Kzy. YAMATO pinned J after Omniscient & Omnipotent Frankensteiner. As a result, Kuroshio & Hyo win Block B and will advance to the Semifinals (the 2nd place team in each block also will advance). 2nd place will be determined over the remaining matchups-if YAMATO/Hulk win tomorrow (Mochizuki/Sahara) it will depend on if Skywalker/Homare beat Mochizuki/Sahara at a later date because Skywalker/Homare beat YAMATO/Hulk so they have the presumptive tiebreaker. YAMATO/Hulk would advance over J/Kzy. J/Kzy beat Skywalker/Homare. If YAMATO/Hulk lose, J/Kzy will advance on tiebreaker over Skywalker/Homare.Block A is unsettled because 2 teams have 2 matches left.

The next event is tomorrow at Sangyo Gym in Tottori. There will be no live or on demand broadcast, but the Rey De Parejas matches will be available on demand FOR FREE on YouTube at some point.
