As part of their 2-day event yesterday & today in Paris, France, the Grand Sumo Performance Event included a pair of single-day elimination format tournaments. You’d be smart to think the Yokozuna would probably win based on how London went last year. But this time you’d be wrong. Both days’ tournaments have been a sweep as Ozeki Kotozakura won them both-he beat fellow Ozeki Kirishima yesterday and then beat Yokozuna Hoshoryu today. We’ll see if this momentum helps Kotozakura get back out of kadoban stastus in July to avoid demotion. Fellow Yokozuna Onosato did participate, a good sign that he’ll be back for the upcoming July Tournament although they absolutely did not go full-throttle in Paris as it basically was a glorified exhibition tournament and won’t go on their records nor affect rankings.
The participants, most of the top tier wrestlers, will now head back to Japan to prepare for the July Tournament in Nagoya. The Banzuke will be announced in 2 weeks.
Ganbare Pro ran their latest event today in Tokyo.
Today’s event was held at Takashimadaira Community Center in Tokyo and will be available on demand on WRESTLE UNIVERSE Wednesday.
The paid attendance has not yet been announced.
Match 1: Ken Ohka & Guts Ishijima beat Keisuke Ishii & Shinichiro Tominaga. Ishijima pinned Tominaga after Twister.
Match 2: YuuRI beat Moe Hiiro by submission.
Match 3: Koki Iwasaki beat Shota Kawakami.
Match 4: Baliyan Akki & Munetatsu Nakamura beat Shigehiro Irie & Sentaro Motoshima. Nakamura pinned Nakashima after Octopus Killer.
Match 5: Shuchiro Katsumura, Yuya Susumu & Kikujiro Umezawa beat Yumehito Imanari, Takuya Wada & Moeka Haruhi. Katsumura beat Imanari with a standing ninja choke.
Main Event: Spirit Of Ganbare World Openweight Champion Mizuki Watase beat Tyson Maeguchi to retain the title. V3 for Watase. Next up: SUSHI aka Akira Raijin. That match will happen at the next event.
The next event is 7/4 at Shin-Kiba 1st Ring. On demand TBA.
DOMINION, New Japan’s annual June Osaka blowout event, is now in the books.
Today’s event was held at Osaka-jo Hall in Osaka and can be watched on demand OUTSIDE JAPAN ONLY on New Japan World. This event aired as part of WORLD PRO WRESTLING LIVE 2026 exclusively on TV Asahi in Japan.
The announced paid attendance was 6890.
Match 1: NJPW WORLD TV Champion Konosuke Takeshita beat SANADA to retain the title. V4 for Takeshita.
Match 2: In a No DQ Match, Jake Lee beat El Phantasmo by ref stoppage (technical submission).
Match 3: Taichi & Yuya Uemura beat Ryohei Oiwa & Zack Sabre Jr. Taichi pinned Oiwa with a polar star cross hold.
Match 4: El Desperado beat Mistico (CMLL).
Match 5: Aaron Wolf beat NEVER Openweight Champion Ren Narita to win the title. Wolf becomes the 52nd NEVER Openweight Champion.
Match 6: Great-O-Khan & HENARE beat IWGP Heavyweight Tag Team Champions OSKAR (The Grouch) & Yuto Ice (Ice Baby) to win the titles. Khan & HENARE become the 112th IWGP Heavyweight Tag Team Champions. HENARE pinned Ice after a great bomb.
Match 7: Shota Umino beat IWGP Global Champion Andrade El Idolo & Drilla Moloney in a 3-way by pinning Andrade to win the title. Umino becomes the 8th IWGP Global Champion. Next up: Possibly Gabriel Kidd, who beat down Umino afterwards.
Match 8: Yoh beat IWGP Junior Heavyweight Champion DOUKI to win the title. Yoh becomes the 100th IWGP Junior Heavyweight Champion. Next up: If Yoh has his way, a 4-way between Sho, Kosei Fujita, Master Wato & Francesco Akira to determine the next challenger.
Main Event: Yota Tsuji beat IWGP Heavyweight Champion Callum Newman to win the title. Tsuji becomes the 89th IWGP Heavyweight Champion.
On paper this really looks like they hit the reset button from SAKURA GENESIS to take most of things back to after Tokyo Dome with the title changes. Forget record-setting reigns (Newman was the youngest IWGP Heavyweight Champion to date) and AEW champions (Andrade). Will be fun to see how the net reacts to Umino finally winning a title too.
The next event is Friday at Chino Civic Center Multi-Hall in Nagano. There will be no live or on demand broadcast. There will probably be just 2 broadcasts over the next tour which would both be at Korakuen Hall, but there will also be a live broadcast for the next Yuji Nagata Produced event on Saturday.
UPDATE: As of 7:15 PM PT/10:15 PM ET you can now watch the first match (NJPW WORLD TV Championship) FOR FREE on YouTube.
The promotion has also announced part of the field for this year’s G1 CLIMAX Tournament, which officially officially kicks off the Road To Tokyo Dome. This year it will be a 20-man field with 2 blocks of 10 in the usual round-robin format. We now know 14 of the participants: Block A: Konosuke Takeshita, Yota Tsuji, SANADA, Shingo Takagi, Boltin Oleg, Jake Lee, Hirooki Goto Block B: Callum Newman, Zack Sabre Jr., Shota Umino, Yuya Uemura, Ren Narita, Drilla Moloney, Gabriel Kidd That leaves 6 spots, which will be determined as follows, and actually one happened today: Besides winning the IWGP Heavyweight Tag Team Championship, Great-O-Khan & HENARE are in as a result. We just don’t know their placements yet. The last 4 will be determined on 6/23 and 7/6 at Korakuen Hall in Tokyo.. Takeshita is the defending tournament champion.
UPDATE 2: Khan goes in Block A, HENARE in Block B. The Final 4 will be determined by qualifying matches among 8 participants: Block A matches are Taichi vs. Yuto Ice and El Phantasmo vs. Ryohei Oiwa. Block B matches are YOSHI-HASHI vs. Aaron Wolf and OSKAR vs. Yujiro Takahashi. Winners are in. I think the only toss-up is YOSHI-HASHI vs. Wolf. The rest seem obvious outcome-wise.
Other DOMINION fallout: The 4-way Yoh wanted to determine his next IWGP Junior Heavyweight Championship challenger is set. That match will happen on 6/23 at Korakuen Hall and the title match is 7/6. Tiger Mask 4’s retirement matches on 7/7 are set. He will have a pair of 5-minute exhibition matches, first vs. Tom Billington then vs. Black Tiger 4 (Rocky Romero).
Stardom runs the last event before this month’s PPV today in Tokyo. It’s definitely qualifying as a major event ahead of the next blowout event because there are 3 title matches on tap for today. First up, Future Of Stardom Champion Ranna Yagami chose outsider Miku Kanae as her next challenger for the title as she goes for a 5th successful defense. Second, the Goddesses Of Stardom Championship is on the line as AZM & Miyu Amasaki defend against Hazuki & Koguma, with Hazuki back after missing the first half of the month due to being in the US for All Elite Wrestling participation (and she’s going back after the PPV). Finally, the Artist Of Stardom Championship will be defended by Ami Sohrei, Hina & Lady C against Natsupoi, Yuna Mizumori & Aya Sakura-and whoever wins has Maki Itoh, Kikyo Furusawa & Rian waiting for them at the PPV. The event will also see Mei Seira return after being out a couple weeks due to injury and, while likely not today, a new column on Stardom’s website hints at a potential Momo Watanabe return in the near-future after being out the year so far.
Today’s event will be held at Korakuen Hall in Tokyo and can be watched LIVE on Stardom World. It’s not yet known if there will be any commentary. There are 8 matches planned and with 3 title matches (and presumably an intermission) it’ll likely be on the longer side for a Korakuen event as I anticipate a total running time of about 3 hours. (After cancelling several months ago I decided to resubscribe to Stardom World earlier this week so this will be the resumption of occasional live results posts for now when schedules allow)
Today’s lineup (match order TBA): Hanan & Matoi Hamabe vs. Saya Iida & HANAKO Mei Seira, Starlight Kid & Ema Maishima vs. Maki Itoh, Kikyo Furusawa & Rian Sayaka Kurara vs. Anne Kanaya Syuri, Tomoka Inaba Nanami Hatano & Kiyoka Kokatsu vs. Itsuki Aoki, Akira Kuraogame & Xena Saori Anou, Maika, Fuwa-chan & Utami Hayashishita vs. Natsuko Tora, Konami, Ruaka & Azusa Inaba Future Of Stardom Champion Ranna Yagami vs. Miku Kanae for the title Goddesses Of Stardom Champions AZM & Miyu Amakasi vs. Hazuki & Koguma for the titles Artist Of Stardom Champions Ami Sohrei, Hina & Lady C vs. Natsupoi, Yuna Mizumori & Aya Sakura for the titles

Before the event began, a public signing ceremony was held for the DDT Extreme Championship match on 6/21 between Hideki Okatani & Junta Miyawaki. The rules were also announced-it will be a Hardcore I Quit Match. No pinfalls, submissions or DQs, only way to win is by verbal submission (saying I Quit) or by TKO (if the referee determines one has taken so much damage they can’t verbally quit).
Match 1: Illusion beat Hinata Kasai.

Pro Wrestling NOAH ran the penultimate event of the NEO Global Tag League today, wrapping up Block B.

Marufuji pinned Rogers after a round fist. As a result, Marufuji/Kenoh and Soya/Iino finish tied for the block lead at 4-1, 8 pts, but because they won the head-to-head matchup, which is the tiebreaker, Soya/Iino win the block and advance to the Finals and will face Anderson/Gallows.
The Final is Tuesday at Korakuen Hall in Tokyo.
The next event is WRESTLE MAGIC Tuesday at Korakuen Hall. Live streaming as a PPV on WRESTLE UNIVERSE will begin at 3 AM PT/6 AM ET. The PPV will be available for on demand purcase & viewing until 6/29.
Another unfortunate-timed injury, this one in Pro Wrestling NOAH. Not sure when it happened as he was not on today’s event but it has major title implications because Hi69 is headed to the sidelines. Calf muscle tear. Out indefinitely including Tuesday. That’s major because on Tuesday he was to have teamed with Atsushi Kotoge to challenge for the GHC Junior Heavyweight Tag Team Championship. Plans now undecided. We may have to wait until after Monday’s PPV to find out more. It’s not yet known how long Hi69 will be out.
More as it becomes available.
UPDATE: The title match Tuesday is ON. Hajime Ohara is the replacement.
First up, this Stardom item will have a SPOILER barrier for those waiting to watch tomorrow’s AEW Collision because it will be TAPED (they did that last night). It may affect Stardom events at the end of June because it suggests another wrestler is US-bound for the AEW-New Japan Forbidden Door PPV on 6/28 and will have to be pulled off some Stardom events after the 6/20 PPV as a result. If you want to know who before this weekend, click below…
(Also, effective tomorrow I will resume doing occasional LIVE results for Stardom events after several months not doing so. I cancelled Stardom World due to persistent technical issues and other gripes but have decided to give them a second chance. Sunday’s event, a Saturday night US time event, will have live results and I will do them for now when time allows)
Tokyo Joshi Pro continues the spring house show tour today in Yokohama. With SUMMER SUN PRINCESS ‘26 just over a month away the build to the annual July blowout event begins now, namely the next and biggest hurdle for Yuki Arai to overcome if she is to still be Princess Of Princess Champion. That, of course, would be The Champ-Miyu Yamashita. Arai has beaten Yamashita before in a tag match but this will be different. Their collision course begins today.
Today’s event will be held at Yokohama Radiant Hall in Yokohama and can be watched LIVE on WRESTLE UNIVERSE. There will be no commentary. The event is a legit advance sellout. There are 6 matches planned and a DDT event follows them so the event has to be on the short side, probably going just under 2 hours.
Today’s lineup (match order TBA): Mizuki vs. Pom Harajuku & Arisu Endo in a 3-way HIMAWARI & Mifu Ashida vs. Toga & Uta Takami Yuki Kamifuku vs. Shion Kanzaki Suzume & Mahiro Kiryu vs. Wakana Uehara & Chika Nanase Miu Watanabe, Rika Tatsumi & Ren Konatsu vs. Shoko Nakajima, Hyper Misao & Raku Yuki Arai, Yuki Aino & Haru Kazashiro vs. Miyu Yamashita, Sakura Hattori & Kira Summer
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 10 minutes before the event.
7:50 PM PT UPDATE: The live stream has begun. We should be going to the venue in 5-10 minutes.
8 PM PT UPDATE: Live updates begin now.
We are LIVE from Yokohama Radiant Hall in Yokohama, Japan. There is no commentary. Also only hard camera views.
The paid attendance will be announced after the event. It’s a legit advance sellout although I saw one empty front row seat in front of the hard camera. This means the number depends on the setup-full capacity is just under 400 but they usually set up for between 290-350, so it should be in that range. I’ll guess 300. (UPDATE: The announced paid attendance , a legit advance sellout, was 273)
The matches should begin in 10-15 minutes.
The matches begin at 8:12 PM PT/11:12 PM ET. Slight changes to above match order, the 3-way match and single match positions are swapped.
During the opening announcements there was an announcement of BECOMING, a presumably one-day tournament only for wrestlers who debuted in or after 2023. Right now there are 10 scheduled participants: Wakana Uehara, Toga, HIMAWARI, Haru Kazashiro, Mifu Ashida, Uta Takami, Chika Nanase, Kira Summer, Ren Konatsu & Shion Kanzaki. That tournament will happen on 8/29 at Tokyo Square in Tokyo. (The other eligible participants-Runa Okubo & Shino Suzuki-are currently inactive)
Match 1: Yuki Kamifuku vs. Shion Kanzaki. 15 minute time limit (Kamifuku is back to her “regular” outfit today, the sexy one she sported last weekend for the Princess Of Princess Championship match seemed to be a one-time thing. It was Kamifuku’s idea & design) Result: Yuki Kamifuku beat Shion Kanzaki by submission
Match 2: HIMAWARI & Mifu Ashida vs. Toga & Uta Takami. 20 minute time limit Result: Toga & Uta Takami beat HIMAWARI & Mifu Ashida. Toga pinned Ashida after Rock Bottom.
Match 3: Mizuki vs. Pom Harajuku & Arisu Endo in a 3-way. 20 minute time limit Result: Mizuki beat Pom Harajuku & Arisu Endo in a 3-way by beating Harajuku.
Match 4: Suzume & Mahiro Kiryu vs. Wakana Uehara & Chika Nanase. 20 minute time limit Result: Suzume & Mahiro Kiryu beat Wakana Uehara & Chika Nanase. Suzume pinned Nanase after Ring A Bell.
Match 5: Miu Watanabe, Rika Tatsumi & Ren Konatsu vs. Shoko Nakajima, Hyper Misao & Raku. 20 minute time limit Result: Shoko Nakajima, Hyper Misao & Raku beat Miu Watanabe, Rika Tatsumi & Ren Konatsu. Misao pinned Konatsu after Hypami Returns. Surprised there wasn’t a DQ near the end for a ref bump by Tatsumi and subsequent chair use in the ring. Yeah, the tag team champs & challengers plain just don’t like each other.
Main Event: Yuki Arai, Yuki Aino & Haru Kazashiro vs. Miyu Yamashita, Sakura Hattori & Kira Summer. 20 minute time limit Result: Yuki Arai, Yuki Aino & Haru Kazashiro beat Miyu Yamashita, Sakura Hattori & Kira Summer. Arai beat Summer with a scorpion deathlock.
The next event is 6/21 at Chunichi Hall in Nagoya. No HIMAWARI & Mifu Ashida at that event due to scheduling conflicts. Live streaming on WRESTLE UNIVERSE will begin on 6/20 at 8 PM PT/11 PM ET.

Today’s event was held at Shinjuku Face in Tokyo and can be watched on demand on AJPW.TV. You can also watch the first 4 matches FOR FREE on YouTube.
The announced paid attendance was 530, a legit advance sellout with standing room overflow.
There were late changes to the card due to Ryo Inoue & Shota Kofuji being pulled off the event due to injuries. Inoue-knee. Out indefinitely but probably weeks or months. Kofuji-ankle. Status uncertain.
Match 1: Seigo Tachibana & Hyo Ogawa (Independent/Freelancer). beat Dan Tamura & Masatuki Kono. Tachibana pinned Tamura after countering La Magistral.
