Forgot about this one yesterday…Pro Wrestling NOAH continued what is now the LEGACY RISE 2026 Tour-what was STAR NAVIGATION during the pandemic-yesterday in Tokyo with the kickoff of the 2026 NOAH Jr. Tag League.
Yesterday’s event was held at Korakuen Hall in Tokyo and can be watched on demand on WRESTLE UNIVERSE.
The announced paid attendance was 1522, a legit sellout with standing room only tickets sold on the day.
NOAH Jr. Tag League: Match 1: Tadasuke & Jun Masaoka beat Eita & Katsumi Inahata. Tadasuke pinned Inahata after Tadasuke Crush. Match 2: Atsushi Kotoge & Hi69 beat AMAKUSA & Black Menso-re. Hi69 pinned Menso-re with Samson Clutch.

NOAH Jr. Tag League: Match 6: Alpha Wolf & Kai Fujimura beat Daga & Daiki Odashima. Fujimura beat Odashima. Main Event: Dragon Bane & Alejandro beat Mark Trew & Kieron Lacey. Alejandro pinned Lacey after Zero Gravity.
The next event is MONDAY MAGIC RISING SUN SEASON FINAL Monday at Shinjuku Face. Live streaming on WRESTLE UNIVERSE will begin at 2 AM PT/5 AM ET. Also a heads-up for the next event after that on Wednesday at Korakuen-it will be an English Only live broadcast on UNIVERSE because it is an ABEMA exclusive broadcast in Japan.
DDT ran the first half of a wkkeend house show doublehader in Nagoya today.
Today’s event was held at Imaike Gas Hall in Nagoya and will be available on demand on WRESTLE UNIVERSE Tuesday. There was no live broadcast.
The paid attendance was not announced.
There was a last-minute change to the event due to Junta Miyawaki being pulled off the card. The always-vague poor health. Also out tomorrow. Tomomitsu Matsunaga is the replacement for both events.
Match 1: Yuya Koroku & Yuni beat Takeshi Masada & Hinata Kasai. Koroku pinned Kasai after Deformed Triangle Lancer.
Match 2: KANON beat Antonio Honda (who recently has, very shockingly, grown facial hair. Quite a lot too).
Match 3: Daisuke Sasaki, Hideki Okatan & MJ Paul beat Jun Akiyama, Akito & Tomomitsu Matsunaga. Sasaki beat Matsunaga with a crossface.
Match 4: Naomi Yoshimura won a 12 man battle royal, last eliminating Illusion.
D GENERATIONS CUP Block A: Match 5: To-y beat Daichi Sato. Main Event: Kazuma Sumi beat Yuki Ishida. As a result, Sumi wins Block A and advances to the Finals.

STARDOM Supreme Fight in Osaka 2026, the monthly or bi-monthly blowout event, is now in the books.
Today’s event was held at Osaka Prefectural Gym in Osaka and can be watched on demand as a PPV on Stardom World until roughly 2/23. You can also watch the first 4 matches, which includes 2 pre-show matches, FOR FREE on YouTube.
The paid attendance was not announced.
There was a last-minute change to the event due to Hazuki being pulled off the card. Unspecified circumstances but she was there. She was to have teamed with TBA in a 4-way tag match. I have a feeling it was to give her a masked or comedy gimmick.
Pre-show: Match 1: Momo Kohgo beat Yuna Mizumori, Lady C, Azusa Inaba & Kiyoka Kokatsu in a 5-way by pinning Mizumori. As a result, Kohgo will get the next High Speed Championship shot, meaning a rematch with Mizumori. Match 2: Hina, Tomoka Inaba & Ranna Yagami beat Sayaka Kurara, Anne Kanaya & Kikyo Furusawa. Hina pinned Kurara after Mad Splash.
PPV: Match 1: Rina beat Fuwa-chan.
Match 2: Maki Itoh beat Aya Sakura by submission. This apparently was for a “cutest in the world” championship Itoh created and defended, which is an unofficial title.
Match 3: AZM & Miyu Amasaki beat Saya Iida & Yuria Hime, Natsupoi & Saori Anou and Kuidare Hazuki & Billiken (who I’m guessing based on translation are Hazuki & Fukigen/Kaori Yoneyama) in a 4-way when Amasaki pinned Hime.
Match 4: Syuri beat Saki Kashima.
Match 5: In a handicap elimination gauntlet match (win by pinfall, submission or over the top rope), Suzu Suzuki, Rina Yamashita, Itsuki Aoki & Akira Kurogame beat Maika, HANAKO, Xena, Waka Tsukiyama & Rian. Order of elimination: Tsukiyama by Aoki, Xena by Aoki, Aoki by HANAKO, HANAKO & Yamashita together, Suzuki & Maika by time limit draw, Rian by Kurogame. Mi Vida Loca wins. This was changed from a planned 10-woman tag match due to the continued absence of Bozilla (unspecified injury).
Match 6: Goddesses Of Stardom Champions Natsuko Tora & Ruaka beat Hanan & Bea Priestley to retain the titles. Tora pinned Hanan after a swanton bomb. V5 for the champs.
Match 7: Wonder Of Stardom Champion Konami beat Ami Sohrei by submission to retain the title. V3 for Konami. Next up: Hina.
Main Event: World Of Stardom Champion Saya Kamitani beat Starlight Kid to retain the title. V9 for Kamitani. It was briefly stopped due to a Kamitani injury. Dislocated finger. But it was restarted and thankfully our PHENEX QUEEN will continue her reign. Next up: Kurara, who tried and failed to win the title last year around the time Kamitani retired mentor Tam Nakano. But hopefully she will fail again as we continue to Embrace The H.A.T.E. into 2026. Long reign our Queen!
The next evens is 2/15 at Fujisan Messe in Shizuoka. There will be no live broadcast.
In a post a short time ago on social media that was shared by her mother, former longtime wrestler Kyoko Kimura, the now-annual Hana Kimura Memorial Event for 2026 has been confirmed as happening on 5/23 at Korakuen Hall in Tokyo. The date will be the 6th anniversary of her death at only 22.
All-Japan continues the Excite Series 2026 Tour today in Tokyo as the build to its upcoming Junior Heavyweight Tag Team Tournament winds down. The first half of today’s events feature tag matches with the spotlight on the Junior Heavyweights before the second half focuses on upcoming Heavyweight Tag Team and Triple Crown matches. In the middle was planned to be a grudge match of sorts as the Hokuto Army has basically imploded. Unfortunately…
There has bern a late change to the card due to Hokuto Omori being pulled off the event. Flu. He was to have faced Kumaarashi in said grudge match. Takashi is the replacement.
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 3 matches FOR FREE on YouTube. The event is a legit advance sellout. It’s not yet known if there will be any commentary. There are 6 matches scheduled with an intermission at the halfway point so even with the break the event probably won’t run longer than 2 1/2 hours, and should be closer to 2 hours. The longest it could go would be just under 3 hours.
Today’s lineup: Go Shiozaki & Shotaro Ashino vs. Seigo Tachibana & Yuko Miyamoto MUSASHI & Shota Kofuji vs. Dan Tamura & Hikaru Sato Atsuki Aoyagi & Rising Hayato vs. Seiki Yoshioka & Yuya Susumu Ibtermission Takashi vs. Kumaarashi Ren Ayabe, Talos & Yuma Anzai vs. Daisuke Sekimoto, Hideki Suzuki & Kengo Mashimo Kento Miyahara, Ryuki Honda & Ryo Inoue vs. Jun Saito, Naruki Doi & Senor Saito

All-Japan has announced pending changes to upcoming events because Hokuto Omori is headed to the sidelines. Flu. Out Saturday and maybe a little longer. He was to have faced Kunaarashi. Card change(s) TBA. It’s not yet known how long Omori may be out but for now I’d call him questionable for Wednesday in Shizuoka but hopefully he will be back in time for 2/15 at Korakuen Hall.
A fan club event Sunday to have featured Omori is also off with MUSASHI being the replacement. Refunds will be offered to those who purchased tickets.
More as it becomes available.
UPDATE: Takashi is the replacement. Omori has also apologized on the socials for getting sick.
According to an article just published by the Yomiuri Shinbun website, Ryuto Mochizuki, aka Dragon Gate wrestler Mochizuki Junior, received a letter of appreciation from Himeji City, Hyogo Prefecture, for his actions in helping prevent further damage from an apparent arson attempt at Himeji Castle in November 2025. According to a translation of the article, on November 9 just after midnight Junior was visiting the castle with an unnamed American wrestler and witnessed someone setting a “No Trespassing” sign on fire. Junior put out the fire and tried to chase the suspect, who escaped but was later identified and arrested. Today or yesterday he received the letter from the mayor of Himeji City. The castle is considered a cultural asset to both Hyogo Prefecture and Japan as a whole.
DDT continued the D GENERATIONS CUP today in Tokyo.
Today’s event was held at Shinjuku Face in Tokyo and can be watched on demand on WRESTLE UNIVERSE.
The paid attendance was not announced.
There were late changes to the card due to Rukiya being pulled off the event. Illness.
Match 1: D GENERATIONS CUP Block B: Yuya Koroku beat Hinata Kasai.
Match 2: D GENERATIONS CUP Block B: Takeshi Masada beat Yuni.
Match 3: Jun Akiyama & Danshoku Dieno vs. Toru Owashi & Kazuki Hirata went to a no contest in 20 seconds. GM Imabayashi stoppage. Which led to… Match 3 (again): In a handicap match, Jun Akiyama & Danshoku Dieno beat Toru Owashi, Kazuki Hirata & GM Imabayashi. Akiyama beat Imabayashi.
Match 4: Daisuke Sasaki, Hideki Okatani & MJ Paul beat Chris Brookes, HARASHIMA & Antonio Honda and Akito, Junta Miyawaki & Yuki Ishida in a 3-way when Okatani pinned Honda.
Match 5: MAO, KANON & Yukio Naya beat Yuki Ueno, Shinya Aoki & Tomomitsu Matsunaga. KANON pinned Matsunaga after a lariat.
Match 6: D GEBERATIONS CUP Block A: Illusion beat To-y.
Main Event: D GENERATIONS CUP Block A: Kazuma Sumi beat Daichi Sato.
The winners of each block advance to the Finals. In Block A the remaining matches are Sato-To-y and Ishida-Sumi. Sumi advances with a win. Sato advances with a win AND Sumi loss or draw (Sumi beat Sato for tiebreaker). To-y advances with a win AND Sumi-Ishida draw or no points finish. Ishida advances with a win AND To-y-Sato no points finish. If both To-y and Ishida win, there will be a tiebreaker rematch because their match went to a draw. In Block B the remaining matches are Koroku-Masada and Rukiya-Kasai. The Koroku-Masada winner, if there is one, advances. If it’s a draw, Koroku advances. Rukiya can’t advance with a win because he lost to Koroku. His only hope is a win AND Masada win to force a 3-way tiebreaker match. That of course assumes Rukiya can return at the next event. If mot, the Koroku-Masada winner advances.
The next event is Saturday at Imaike Gas Hall in Nagoya. There will be no live broadcast. On demand Tuesday.
