All-Japan 9/9/2026 Results

All-Japan kicked off the 13th Royal Road Tournament today in Tokyo, the annual fall single-elimination tournament.

Tofay’s event was held at Shinagawa Stellar Ball in Shinagawa Prince Hotel in Tokyo and can be watched on demand on AJPW.TV. This was also or will be a (taped) GAORA SPORTS broadcast in Japan.

The announced paid attendance was 775, a legit sellout.

Before the results, fan prediction poll time! The promotion held a vote for fans to see who they thought would win (but likely won’t). Their pick is…Yuma Aoyagi! Will they get it right after wrongly picking Hokuto Omori in the Zennichi Jr. Festival? Stay tuned!

Match 1: Dan Tamura, Seigo Tachibana & Hokuto Omori beat MUSASHI, Daisuke Sekimoto & Yuya Aoki. Tachibana pinned MUSASHI after Yankee Hammer.

Match 2: Xyon, Odyssey & Shotaro Ashino beat Ryuki Honda, Kumaarashi & Yasutaka Yano. Odyssey pinned Yano after Journey’s End.

Match 3: Yuma Aoyagi, Yuma Anzai & Shota Kofuji beat Jun & Rei Saito & Rising Hayato. Aoyagi pinned Hayato.

Royal Road Round 1:
Match 4: Timothy Thatcher beat Hideki Suzuki by submission.
Match 5: Kento Miyahara beat Hyo Ogawa.
Main Event: Go Shiozaki beat Ren Ayabe.
As a result, Thatcher will face the Rei Saito-Yuma Anzai winner in the Quarterfinals, Miyahara will face the Ryuki Honda-Kumaarashi winner in the Quarterfinals and Shiozaki will face the Xyon-Odyssey winner in the Quarterfinals.

The next event is Saturday at Kurobe City General Sports Center in Toyama. There will be no live broadcast. On demand later that day or Sunday.

Injury Report: Wounded Spirit

Ganbare Pro has announced an injury coming out of their last event, and it could be major as Mizuki Watase has been temporarily sidelined. Concussion. Out indefinitely but will miss Saturday. No other abnormalities detected. The concern here is that he is scheduled to defend the Spirit Of Ganbare World Openweight Championship in just under 2 weeks. We’ll have to wait and see. It’s not yet known how long Watase may be out.

More as it becomes available.

TAKAYAMANIA EMPIRE 5 Results (9/7/2026)

TAKAYAMANIA EMPRE 5, the annual fundraiser event for the legendary wrestler Yoshihiro Takayama, was held today in Tokyo, largely spearheaded once again by fellow wrestler Minoru Suzuki. Partial results are below with what I have been able to find so far, mostly from Nikkan Sports. (Now updated below with full results)

Today’s event was held at Korakuen Hall in Tokyo and hopefully will be available on demand on WRESTLE UNIVERSE at a later date. This was a live ABEMA broadcast in Japan.

The paid attendance has not yet been announced but assumingly was a legit sellout..

Match 1: Tatsuya Matsumoto (New Japan) beat Ryoma Sekimo.

Match 2: Chihiro Hashimoto & Ryo Mizunami (Sendai Girls) vs. Miyu Yamashita (Tokyo Joshi Pro) & Hiroyo Matsumoto (Independent/Freelancer) went to a 15 minute time limit draw.

Match 3: Hideki Suzuki (All-Japan) vs. Danshoku Dieno (DDT) went to a no contest. Out of control.

Match 4: In a DDT Exhibition Match, MAO, Yukio Naya & Viento Levante beat Takeshi Masada, Yuya Koroku & Daichi Sato. MAO pinned Koroku after a cannonball 450.

Match 5: KENTA (Pro Wrestling NOAH) & Katsuyori Shibata (All Elite Wrestling) beat Caol Uno & Katsumi Inahata (Pro Wrestling NOAH). KENTA pinned Inahata after GO 2 SLEEP.

Main Event: Minoru Suzuki (Independent/Freelancer) & El Desperado (New Japan) beat Naomichi Marufuji (Pro Wrestling NOAH) & HARASHIMA (DDT). Suzuki pinned HARASHIMA after a Gotch-style piledriver. Afterwards, Takayama was brought to the ring in a wheelchair to celebrate both his birthday next week and his enduring legacy, along with hopes that, like fellow wheelchair-bound wrestler Shinjiro Otani, his rehab will proceed to the point that someday (soon) he will be able to walk again. And perhaps in time for one more match with Suzuki when he turns 60 in a couple years. (Takayama is 57)

Missing results will be posted when they become available.

Second, the planned 10/28 event at Windmill Kushiro Super Arena in Hokkaido will now be a memorial event for Nagao as that event will be in his hometown.

Stardom 9/6/2026 LIVE Results

After a long summer break following the 5STAR GP, Stardom returns to action today with an event in Tokyo. This is practically the only build to the next PPV after this, and there is a lot of unknown because, for winning the tournament, Rina gets a future title shot of her choice, but she still hasn’t decided on which title. It means that, instead of perhaps challenging Suzu Suzuki for the World Of Stardom Championship next week, Natsuko Tora will. There is one title match today as, following a lot of back & forth during the 5STAR GP, Yuna Mizumori will (finally perhaps) defend the High Speed Championship against Koguma. Today will also see Syuri return after her latest international excursion and, in the past week, the conclusion of her first work as an actress as she starred in a theatrical play that ran for a week in Tokyo. It seems like many wrestlers from Stardom and elsewhere were able to attend to show their support. Also back is Hazuki, returning from an extended excursion to the US and Mexico that caused her to miss the 5STAR GP.

There were some changes to the original card due to Sayaka Kurara being pulled off the event. Unspecified injury treatment but possibly neck. Out indefinitely but at least 2-3 weeks.

Today’s event will be held at Korakuen Hall in Tokyo and can be watched LIVE on Stardom World, presumably in Japanese. Before the event, there will be a 5STAR GP Awards Ceremony which will be available FOR FREE on YouTube 20 minutes before the event begins. As for the event itself, there are 8 matches planned and with the usual intermission factored in, this will probably be a “standard” Korakuen event for them (longer than normal for other promotions) with, if the pre-show is included, a running time of about 3 hours.

Today’s lineup (match order TBA):
Pre-show:
5STAR GP Awards Ceremony

Main show:
Rina & Ruaka vs. Natsupoi & Anne Kanaya
Maki Itoh, Kikyo Furusawa & Rian vs. Saya Iida, Matoi Hamabe & Utami Hayashishita
Aya Sakura vs. Hina & Fukigen in a 3-way
Syuri & Kiyoka Kokatsu vs. Rina Yamashita & Itsuki Aoki
Saori Anou, Hazuki & Fuwa-chan vs. Lady C, HANAKO & Waka Tsukiyama
Hanan & Ranna Yagami vs. Ami Sohrei & Akira Kurogame
High Speed Champion Yuna Mizumori vs. Koguma for the title
Suzu Suzuki, Miyu Amasaki & Starlight Kid vs. Natsuko Tora, Saya Kamitani & Azusa Inaba

Refresh this page occasionally for the latest results.

Updates below will begin at 7:10 PM PT/10:10 PM ET. The main show is scheduled to begin at 7:30 PM PT/10:30 PM ET.

Pre-show Update: While the placeholder now suggests the pre-show will only be on Stardom World (social media says otherwise, it’s confusing), you will also be able to watch the first 3 matches FOR FREE on YouTube. It looks like that will be some combination of the first 3 matches listed above.

7 PM PT UPDATE: The Stardom World live stream has begun. We should be going to the venue in 10 minutes. The YouTube live stream has also begun to include the pre-show.

Stream begins with a 9/12 PPV preview.

7:10 PM PT UPDATE: Live updates begin now.

We are LIVE from Korakuen Hall in Tokyo, Japan. It looks like there is Japanese commentary but it will begin later.

The paid attendance may or may not be announced after the event. The crowd is still coming in but based on advance ticket sales it will probably be at least 1200. (UPDATE: The announced paid attendance was 1327)

The event begins with a 4STAR GP Awards Ceremony. Here’s what I can make out:
Matches of the Tournament: Maika vs. AZM (Red A), Mei Seira vs. Rina Yamashita (Red B), Hina vs. HANAKO (Blue A), Momo Watanabe vs. Saya Kamitani (Blue B), Rina vs. Konami. Special Awards to Ruaka, Saya Iida, Ami Sohrei, Starlight Kid and of course the winner-Rina. Rina is the youngest winner to date. Most of the winners were in the ring to receive their prizes, but apparently no Konami. Any hints from Rina in her comments about title shot plans? Nope.

The broadcast will resume when the main show begins in about 5 minutes (as of 7:25 PM PT/10:25 PM ET).

7:30 PM PT UPDATE: The main show and live updates begin now.

Today’s lineup announcement. The 3 YouTube matches are as listed above. The match order listed above is the actual order so High Speed Championship is semifinal and the 6-woman tag is the main event.

The matches begin at 7:34 PM PT/10:34 PM ET. Your hosts are Haruo Murata & Makoto Oe. The graphics have me thinking this may also be a Samurai! TV broadcast in Japan.

Result: Rina & Ruaka beat Natsupoi & Anne Kanaya. Rina pinned Kanaya after Pink Devil. (Post-script: In post-match comments posted to the Stardom World social media accounts, Rina revealed she’s decided which title to go after post-5STAR GP. But she didn’t say which one)
