New Japan 8/16/2026 Results

New Japan wrapped up the G1 CLIMAX 36 Tournament today with the Finals.

Today’s event was held at Ryogoku Kokugikan in Tokyo 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. (On demand there will not be until the exclusive TV Asahi window ends, which I believe is 3 days after the event) You can also watch the first 2 matches FOR FREE on YouTube.

The announced paid attendance was 7260.

Match 1: Yoshinobu Kanemaru, Sho, DOUKI & Yujiro Takahashi beat Masatora Yasuda, Ryusuke Taguchi, El Desperado & YOSHI-HASHI. DOUKI beat Yasuda with Italian Stretch 32.

Match 2: Toru Yano & Togi Makabe beat Zane Jay & Francesco Akira. Makabe pinned Jay after a King Kong kneedrop.

Match 3: Kosei Fujita, Hartley Jackson & Zack Sabre Jr. beat Tatsuya Matsumoto, Master Wato & Boltin Oleg by ref stoppage (technical submission). Fujita beat Matsumoto with a front neck lock.

Match 4: Callum Newman, Great-O-Khan & HENARE beat Daiki Nagai, OSKAR (The Grouch) & Yuto Ice (Ice Baby). Newman pinned Nagai. Afterwards, another surprise return/appearance…Jeff Cobb is back! (He left the promotion last year for WWE, but was released earlier this year) And…apparently he’s turned on United Empire! Sounds like he’s defected to Unbound Co.

Match 5: Shingo Takagi & Drilla Moloney beat Wheeler Yuta (All Elite Wrestling) & Gabriel Kidd. Takagi pinned Yuta after Last Of The Dragon.

Match 6: Shun Skywalker, SANADA & Ren Narita beat Satoshi Kojima, Taichi & Konosuke Takeshita. Skywalker pinned Kojima after a moonsault kneedrop. This was Skywalker’s first official New Japan match since joining the promotion and debuting yesterday after leaving Dragon Gate earlier this month.

Match 7: Taiji Ishimori & Yota Tsuji beat Yoh & Hirooki Goto. Ishimori pinned Yoh after Bloody Cross.

Main Event: G1 CLIMAX 36 Finals: Ryohei Oiwa beat Yuya Uemura to win the tournament. It’s the first G1 victory for Oiwa. They went over 35 minutes. After retiring yesterday, Hiroyoshi Tenzan was a special guest on commentary for the match. As a result, Oiwa gets a IWGP Heavyweight Championship match at…forget tradition, once again he is not waiting until Tokyo Dome. As has been the case the last couple years, he will take the shot in October and try to go into 1/4 as champion. Confirmation should come tomorrow or Tuesday but if true, that means 10/12 at KING OF PRO WRESTLING 2026. And finally, remember the pre-tournament poll where fans voted on who they would win? They were wrong! The majority picked Uemura to win. Close but not quite.

The next event is 8/30 at Kaikyo Messe Shimonoseki in Yamaguchi. There will be no live or on demand broadcast. The next broadcast will probably be 9/6 for the next Yuji Nagata Produced event in Chiba.

Tokyo Joshi Pro Wrestling 8/16/2026 LIVE Results

Tokyo Joshi Pro continues the Tokyo Princess Cup today with the Semifinals. The Final 4 get narrowed down to the Finals today and the odds are high of two things: A first-time winner and huge upset as the eventual winner will face Yuki Arai for the Princess Of Princess Championship at WRESTLE PRINCESS 7. Said Semifinals are Suzume vs. HIMAWARI & Rika Tatsumi vs. Toga. I know what the odds suggest and what I expect the Finals to be, which means…it’s probably not going to be that particular match. Who knows.

There have been many changes to the original card due to Mahiro Kiryu being pulled off the event. Back. Out indefinitely. It notably denied us a 3-way Full Of Yuki as instead of Yuki Arai, Yuki Kamifuku & Yuki Aino facing each other, they’re now teaming as a Full Of Yuki 6-woman tag..

Today’s event will be held at 176BOX in Osaka and can be watched LIVE on WRESTLE UNIVERSE. There will be no commentary. There are 7 matches planned today and the TPC Semifinals are no time limit so this will probably go a little longer than a regular TJPW event with a running time close to 2 1/2 hours. (Actually didn’t even go 2 hours)

Today’s lineup (match order TBA):
Chika Nanase vs. Momo Sato
Mizuki vs. Shion Kanzaki
Miyu Yamashita vs. Pom Harajuku
Shoko Nakajima, Wakana Uehara, Haru Kazashiro & Ren Konatsu vs. Miu Watanabe, Raku, Shino Suzuki & Uta Takami
Yuki Arai, Yuki Kamifuku & Yuki Aino vs. Hyper Misao, Arisu Endo & Sakura Hattori
Tokyo Princess Cup Semifinals:
Suzume vs. HIMAWARI
Rika Tatsumi vs. Toga

Stardom 8/16/2026 LIVE Results

Stardom continues the 5STAR GP today with the final day of the preliminary round. The remaining 2 matches in each of the 4 blocks will be held then we know who will advance to the playoffs-the winner of each block goes to the Quarterfinals, the rest go to Round 1 where 2nd place in each block faces 3rd place from the other block. We start with Red A, which has AZM vs. Rina and Maika vs. Akira Kurogame. AZM & Maika will both advance, but if AZM wins and Maika loses or draws, AZM wins the block. If both win, Maika wins the block because she beat AZM. But if Rina beats AZM and Maika loses, Rina will advance and knock Itsuki Aoki out AND there will be a tiebreaker between Rina & Maika for the block winner. Aoki advances only if AZM beats Rina. Now Red B, has Mei Seira vs. Utami Hayashishita and Maki Itoh vs. Konami. It’s a bit simpler here-the Itoh-Konami winner, if there is one, wins the block. If it’s a draw or no contest, Saya Iida wins the block. For Seira to advance, she must beat Hayashishita AND Itoh-Konami MUST BE A NO CONTEST OR DOUBLE DQ (something that means no points for both). Rina Yamashita can advance if Serira loses or draws AND Itoh-Konami is a no points scenario (Yamashita beat Konami but Itoh was a draw). If there somehow is a 5-way tie, Iida and Seira will advance while Konami would get 3rd on the second tiebreaker, which is wins. Now on to Blue A: Today it’s HANAKO vs. Ruaka and Suzu Suzuki vs. Julia Hart. Suzuki has advanced. If she beats Hart or it’s a draw, Suzuki wins the block. HANAKO advances with a win OR draw AND Hart loss. Hart must win AND Ruaka must beat HANAKO to advance. Ruaka must beat HANAKO AND Hart must lose or draw to advance. If Ruaka & Hart tie, tiebreaker goes to Ruaka. If both Ruaka and Hart win, HANAKO is OUT. Finally, Blue B: The last matches are Hanan vs. Saya Kamitani and Ami Sohrei vs. Starlight Kid. Kid has advanced. The Kid-Sohrei winner, if there is one, wins the block. Kamitani advances if she beats Hanan but can’t win the block because Sohrei has the tiebreaker. Hanan must win AND Kid must beat Sohrei to advance. Momo Watanabe has the absolute slimmest of chances to advance but still can IF Kid beats Sohrei AND Hanan-Kamitani is a no points scenario AND she beats Kamitani in a subsequent rematch because their tiebreakers are even (draw and same number of wins). That would mean Sohrei is OUT. Strap in for absolute chaos as every match is critical.

Today’s event will be held at Act City Hamamatsu Event Hall Block 2 in Shizuoka and can be watched LIVE on Stardom World. There will be no commentary. There are 8 matches scheduled and may be more if tiebreaker matches are needed so plan on this event going at least 2 1/2 hours even though matches are 15 minute time limits plus an intermission.

Today’s lineup (match order TBA, all matches are 5STAR GP matchers):
Red A:
AZM vs. Rina
Maika vs. Akira Kurogame
Red B:
Mei Seira vs. Utami Hayashishita
Maki Itoh vs. Konami
Blue A:
HANAKO vs. Ruaka
Suzu Suzuki vs. Julia Hart
Blue B:
Hanan vs. Saya Kamitani
Ami Sohrei vs. Starlight Kid

Updates below will begin at 9 PM PT/midnight ET.

Pre-show Update: You will also be able to watch the first 2 matches FOR FREE on YouTube.

9 PM PT UPDATE: Live updates begin now.

We are LIVE from Act City Hamamatsu Event Hall Block 2 in Shizuoka, Japan. There is no commentary.

The paid attendance may or may not be announced after the event. The venue has many different setups and can be between 300 & 3000. From what I can see and hear initially it sound like it’s going to be around 750. (UPDATE: The paid attendance was not announced)

The matches will begin momentarily. YouTube will have Hanan-Kamitani and Maika-Kurogame..AZM-Rina will be the main event.

The matches begin at 9:03 PM PT/12:03 AM ET. All matches are 5STAR GP matches, 15 minute time limit
Match 1: Blue B: Hanan vs. Saya Kamitani. Both must win to have a chance to advance. Hanan needs help from Ami Sohrei too
Result: Hanan beat Saya Kamitani
Hanan is 4-2-1, 9 pts. Kamitani is 3-2-2., 8 pts. As a result, Hanan advances and Kamitani is OUT. Momo Watanabe is now IN if Sohrei loses.

Match 2: Red A: Maika vs. Akira Kurogame. Maika wins the block if she wins. Kurogame is already eliminated
Result: Maika beat Akira Kurogame
Maika is 5-1-1, 11 pts. Kurogame is 0-6-1, 1 pt. As a result, Maika wins the block and will advance to the Quarterfinals.

The YouTube broadcast ends here.

Match 3: Blue A: Suzu Suzuki vs. Julia Hart. Suzuki wins the block if she wins. Hart must win to advance
Result: Suzu Suzuki beat Julia Hart
Suzuki is 6-0-1, 13 pts. Hart is 4-3, 8 pts. As a result, Suzuki wins the block and will advance to the Quarterfinals. Hart needs HANAKO to win to advance. Her fate is about to be decided…

Match 4: Blue A: HANAKO vs. Ruaka. The winner, if there is one, advances
Result: Time Limit Draw
HANAKO is 4-2-1, 9 pts. Ruaka is 3-2-2, 8 pts. As a result, both advance. HANAKO finishes 2nd and Ruaka finishes 3rd because she beat Hart and thus wins the tiebreaker so Hart is OUT.

Match 5: Red B: Mei Seira vs. Utami Hayashishita. Seira must win to have a very slim chance of advancing. Hayashishita is already eliminated
Result: Utami Hayashishita beat Mei Seira
Both are 3-3-1, 7 pts. As a result, Seira is OUT and Rina Yamashita is IN. Seira’s super-longshot bid comes up one win short.

Intermission.

While it’s break time, a recap and what’s still at stake…
Red A: Maika wins the block. AZM advances. AZM-Rina is the main event. If AZM wins, she finishes 2nd and Itsuki Aoki finishes 3rd. If Rina wins, Rina finishes 2nd, AZM finishes 3rd and Aoki is OUT. If it’s a draw, AZM finishes 2nd and Rina finishes 3rd and wins the tiebreaker because she beat Aoki.

Red B: Saya Iida advances. Rina Yamashita advances. The Maki Itoh-Konami winner, if there is one, wins the block and Yamashita will finish 3rd. If it’s a draw, there will be a 4-way tie and it will wind up as follows: Iida will win the block due to having all tiebreakers, Yamashita would finish 2nd because she beat Konami and has fewer wins than Iida (Iida-Yamashita was a draw) and Konami would finish 3rd on wins, meaning Itoh would be OUT.

Blue A: Suzuki wins the block. HANAKO finishes 2nd due to having more wins than Ruaka. Ruaka finishes 3rd.

Blue B: Starlight Kid advances regardless of today’s results. Hanan advances. Sohrei must win or draw against Kid to advance. If Kid-Sohrei has a winner, said winner will win the block. A draw mans Kid wins the block, Sohrei is 2nd and Hanan is 3rd. If Sohrei loses, it’s complicated because she beat Kamitani but lost to Momo Watanabe. Because Watanabe-Kamitani was a draw and they are even on wins, a Sohrei loss likely means a 3-way tiebreaker match.

The matches resume at 10:32 PM PT/1:32 AM ET (about a 20 minute break).

Match 6: Blue B: Ami Sohrei vs. Starlight Kid. Winner wins the block if there is one. Sohrei must win or draw to advance
Result: Ami Sohrei beat Starlight Kid
Sohrei is 5-2, 10 pts. Kid is 4-2-1, 9 pts. As a result, Sohrei wins the block and advances to the Quarterfinals. Because of tiebreakers, Hanan will finish 2nd and Kid will finish 3rd (Hanan beat Kid). Hanan will face Ruaka in Round 1, Kid will face HANAKO. Everyone with microphone afterwards, first Hanan then Sohrei and lastly Kid.

Match 7: Red B: Maki Itoh vs. Konami. The winner wins the block and advances if there is one and Rina Yamashita also advances (Itoh must win to advance). If it’s a draw or no point outcome, Yamashita and Konami advance and Saya Iida wins the block
Result: Konami beat Maki Itoh by ref stoppage (technical submission)
Konami is 5-2, 10 pts. Itoh is 4-3, 8 pts. As a result, Konami wins the block and advances to the Quarterfinals, Saya Iida finishes 2nd on tiebreakers, Rina Yamashita finishes 3rd and advances and Itoh is OUT.

Main Event: Red A: AZM vs. Rina. Rina must win to advance
Result: Rina beat AZM
Both are 4-2-1, 9 pts. But with this result, Rina finishes 2nd and advances and AZM finishes 3rd. Itsuki Aoki is OUT. This will be fun-Rina faces Rina Yamashita and that means Konami will face a Rina in the Quarterfinals.

The playoffs will be as follows:
Round 1:
Red B2 vs. A3: Saya Iida vs.AZM
Red A2 vs. B3: Rina vs. Rina Yamashita
Blue B2 vs. A3: Hanan vs. Ruaka
Blue A2 vs. B3: HANAKO vs. Starlight Kid

Quarterfinals:
Red 1: Maika vs. Saya Iida/AZM winner
Red 2: Konami vs. Rina/Rina Yamashita winner
Blue 1: Suzu Suzuki vs. Hanan/Ruaka winner
Blue 2: Ami Sohrei vs. HANAKO/Starlight Kid winner

On a quick, final side note, I really liked how, right before each match began, they showed both wrestlers in their respective corners using split-screen. We need a lot more of that. Excellent production work.

Round 1 AND the Quarterfinals are Tuesday at Korakuen Hall in Tokyo. Live streaming on Stardom World will begin at 2:30 AM PT/5:30 AM ET.

USA Update from tonight: Future Of Stardom Champion Ranna Yagami beat Remy Reade to retain the title. V9 for Yagami. She is now headed back to Japan but says she will “definitely” return to the US someday.

Stardom 8/15/2026 LIVE Results (Updated)

Stardom continues the 5STAR GP today in Kyoto with another event featuring the Blue Blocks and one Red Block match. It’s coming down to the wire and today’s matches will have significant impact on both who advances and tiebreakers. First up, the Red Block match is Mei Seira vs. Saya Iida in a critical Red B matchup. Seira must win to keep her longshot hopes of advancing alive while Iida must win to outright win the block (she will advance though because, while tied with Rina Yamashita for the block lead, Iida has the tiebreaker because although they went to a draw, second tiebreaker is wins and Iida has that 4-3). Key Blue Block matches include HANAKO vs. Julia Hart, which both need for advance hopes and, more significantly, tiebreakers plus Suzu Suzuki vs. Ruaka as Suzuki looks to stay unbeaten and possibly win Blue A (she has already advanced) ahead of her final match against Hart. All the Blue B contenders also have must-win matches to set up the final day as tiebreakers currently hint at potential rematches being needed.

Today’s event will be held at Kyoto KBS Hall in Kyoto and can be watched LIVE on Stardom World. The event is a legit advance sellout (the only tickets still available are a few wheelchair-only seats). There will be no commentary. There are 9 matches and they’re all 15 minute tournament matches so this will be on the slightly longer side for a house show, with the intermission likely pushing the running time to just over 2 1/2 hours.

Today’s lineup (match order TBA, all matches are 5STAR GP Matches):
Red B: Mei Seira vs. Saya Iida
Blue A:
HANAKO vs. Julia Hart
Hina vs. Miyu Amasaki
Suzu Suzuki vs. Ruaka
Aya Sakura vs. Rian
Blue B:
Koguma vs. Momo Watanabe
Hanan vs. Yuna Mizumori
Ami Sohrei vs. Saya Kamitani
Starlight Kid vs. Kikyo Furusawa

9 PM PT UPDATE: Live updates begin now.

We are LIVE from Kyoto KBS Hall in Kyoto, Japan. There is no commentary.

The paid attendance may or may not be announced after the event. It’s a legit advance sellout with standing room only tickets included so if it’s announced expect it to be 750-800. (UPDATE: The announced paid attendance, a legit advance sellout, was 741)

The matches will begin shortly. Ami Sohrei-Saya Kamitani will be today’s main event.

The matches begin at 9:03 PM PT/12:03 AM ET. All matches are 5STAR GP matches, 15 minute time limit.

The YouTube broadcast ends here.

Match 3: Blue B: Hanan vs. Yuna Mizumori. Mizumori is already eliminated. Hanan needs a win to stay in control of the block
Result: Yuna Mizumori beat Hanan
Mizumori is 3-4, 6 pts and is finished. Hanan is 3-2-1, 7 pts and now must beat Saya Kamitani in her final match AND both Kamitani & Momo Watanabe MUST lose or draw today. If both win, Hanan is OUT because she loses the tiebreaker to Kid.

Match 4: Blue A: Suzu Suzuki vs. Ruaka. Suzuki will advance but will all but win the block with a win. Ruaka virtually must win
Result: Double Countout. For scoring purposes, Draw
Suzuki is 5-0-1, 11 pts. Ruaka is 3-2-1, 7 pts. Suzuki can now finish no lower than 2nd and will win the block with a Julia Hart loss or draw. Ruaka must beat HANAKO in her final match and get help.

Match 5: Red B: Mei Seira vs. Saya Iida. Iida will advance and wins the block with a win or draw. Seira must win
Result: Mei Seira beat Saya Iida
Seira is 3-2-1, 7 pts. Iida is 4-2-1, 9 pts and is finished but will advance to the playoffs. Iida can still win the block if Maki Itoh-Konami is a draw or no contest (Iida has tiebreaker over both). Seira must beat Utami Hayashishita in her last match and Itoh-Konami MUST be a no contest or no points scenario for both. Seira loses tiebreaker to both.

Match 6: Blue B: Koguma vs. Momo Watanabe. Koguma is already eliminated
Result: Koguma beat Momo Watanabe
Koguma is 3-4, 6 pts. Watanabe is 3-2-2, 8 pts. Both are now finished. For Watanabe to advance, Hanan must lose her final match, Saya Kamitani-Ami Sohrei MUST be a no contest or no points scenario AND Sohrei then must lose her last match. Watanabe has tiebreaker over Sohrei but would need a tiebreaker match against Kamitani if they finish even on wins because their match was a draw. She went from looking good to an extremely narrow path in now.

Intermission.

Match 7: Blue A: HANAKO beat Julia Hart
Both are 4-2, 8 pts. But HANAKO now has the tiebreaker between them

Match 8: Blue A: Miyu Amasaki beat Hina
Both are 3-4, 6 pts and are now finished. Hina is now OUT. She had a very slim chance to advance if she won

Main Event: Blue B: Ami Sobrei beat Saya Kamitani
Sohrei is 4-2, 8 pts. Kamitani is 3-1-2, 8 pts.

There are now 4 left fighting for the 3 Blue B spots Kid now leads with 9 pts. Kid has advamced because of the Banan loss, important because Kid only loses tiebreakers right now to Hanan. If Kid beats Sohrei, Kid wins the block. If it’s a draw, Kid wins the block with a Kamitani loss or draw. If Kid loses, she finishes 3rd. If Sohrei beats Kid, she wins the block. If it’s a draw, Sohrei finishes 2nd on tiebreakers if Sohrei loses, she advances if Hanan-Kamitani is a no contest or no points scenario. If there is a winner, Sohrei is OUT. Hanam can only advance by beating Kamitani AND Sohrei loses to Kid. Kamitani advances with a win or draw but can’t win the block. She is OUT by losing to Hanan.

In Blue A, Suzuki wins the block. HANAKO will advance if she beats Ruaka in their final match OR if Suzuki beats Hart. HANAKO is OUT if she loses AND Hart wins. Hart must beat Suzuki AND Ruaka must beat HANAKO to advance. Ruaka must beat HANAKO AND Hart must lose or draw to advance. If Ruaka & Hart finish tied, tiebreaker goes to Ruaka.

The next event is tomorrow at Act City Hamamatsu Exhibition & Event Hall Block 2 in Shizuoka with the final prelim matches, 2 matches from all blocks. Live streaming on Stardom World will begin at 9 PM PT/midnight ET.

UPDATE: In the US, the promotion announced that Ranna Yagami successfully defended the Future Of Stardom Championship last night against Izzy Moreno. V8 for Yagami. Next defense will be tonight.

DDT 8/14/2026 Results (Updated)

DDT ran another Beer Garden Pro Wrestling event today in Tokyo, their final one at Shinjuju Face before the venue closes at the end of September.

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.

Pre-Show match: GM Imabayashi beat Tetsuya Koda (Tokyo joshi Pro Representative Director). As a result, Koda must retire. Presumably from wrestling although he only has previously competed as Pocotan and only recently.

Match 1: Takao Soma, Naomi Yoshimira & Yuki Ishida beat Jun Akiyama, Tomomitsu Matsunaga & Masami Inahata. Soma pinned Matsunaga after a DDT.

Match 2: Yuya Koroku & Daichi Sato beat Antonio Honda & Hinata Kasai. Koroku beat Kasai with a jumping armbar.

Match 3: Yukio Naya & Viento Levante beat Hideki Okatani & Illusion and Kazuma Sumi & Yuni in a 3-way when Levante pinned Yuni.

Match 4: Keisuke Ishii, Dansboku Dieno & Junta Miyawaki beat DDT Iron Man Heavymetalweight Champion Shunma Katsumata, Yuki Iino & Kazuki Hirata when Dieno pinned Katsumata to win the title. Dieno becomes the 1900th Champion. As a result, Dieno also wins the “Money In The Bank” title shot challenge right from Katsumata. Oh dear…MAO best watch his back now. But remember there is also a challenge right for the challenge right still out there, currently held by KANON.

Match 5: Daisuke Sasaki beat 2 fake Daisuke Sasakis in a 3-way by beating both.

Main Event: MAO, Yuki Ueno & HARASHIMA beat Chris Brookes, KANON & To-y. Ueno pinned To-y after Jul.2.

The next event is Monday at Kanda Myojin Hall in Tokyo for a mini-event with just 3 matches, although one is a KO-D 6-Man Tag Team Championship match. Live streaming on WRESTLE UNIVERSE will begin at 3 AM PT/6 AM ET.

In other news, the main event for the final event at Shinjuku Face on 9/30, being promoted by DDT & CyberFight Corporation, has been announced: Aja Kong & Chihiro Hashimoto vs. Mayumi Ozaki & Sareee.

UPDATE: In backstage comments, GM Imabayashi also retired as a wrestler. I have a feeling Danshiku Dieno will make that not last.

Stardom 8/14/2026 Results

Stardom continued the 5STAR GO today in Kobe with the Blue Blocks and one Red Block match.

Today’s event was held at Kobe Sambo Hall in Kobe and can be watched on demand on Stardom World. You can also watch the first 2 matches FOR FREE on YouTube.

The announced paid attendance was 758, a legit sellout.

All matches were 5STAR GP matches.

Match 2: Blue A: HANAKO beat Rian.

Match 3: Blue B: Ami Sohrei beat Kikyo Furusawa.

Standings (Blue Blocks):
Blue A:
1-Suzuki, 5-0, 10 pts (Advances)
2-Hart, 4-1, 8 pts
3-HANAKO, 3-2, 6 pts
4-Ruaka, 3-2, 6 pts
5-Hina, 3-3, 6 pts (OUT)
6-Sakura, 2-4, 4 pts (OUT)

6-Mizumori, 2-4, 4 pts (OUT)
7-Koguma, 2-4, 4 pts (OUT)
8-Furusawa, 0-6, 0 pts (OUT)
The top 3 in each block advance to the playoffs, with the winners going to the Quarterfinals.
In Blue A, Suzuki has advanced. She still has Ruaka & Hart which will settle the remaining tiebreakers (she beat HANAKO). HANAKO also still has Ruaka & Hart so those matches will decide who advances. Hart has the tiebreaker over Ruaka and thus the advantage, she still has to face Suzuki & HANAKO. So it’s now 3 fighting for 2 spots. Hina is now OUT because she loses all tiebreakers. Sakura & Amasaki were also eliminated today.
In Blue B, it’s wide open because Kamitani-Watanabe was a draw and Hanan still has both of them. Kid loses tiebreaker to Hanan. She has tiebreaker over Watanabe but had a draw with Kamitani. Sohrei still has Kid & Kamitani, she loses tiebreaker to Watanabe. Remember that if head-to-head result is a draw, the second tiebreaker is wins. If still even, the final tiebreaker is a rematch. The bottom 3 are now out of it, I was kinda hoping Mizumori might have rallied in after the Kumamoto earthquake as she was carrying her hometown hopes on her shoulders and won 2 straight after it.
In Red B, Seira stays in it with her win but must win 2 more to have a chance to advance and next is the absolute must-win against Saya Iida. If Iida wins or it’s a draw, Iida will win the block (she will advance even with a loss due to tiebreakers). Red A, you ask? Only one match left which is AZM vs. Maika, the winner of that match will win the block. If it’s a draw, there will be a rematch due to tiebreakers being even. Both will advance along with Itsuki Aoki, who despite losing her last 3 after a 4-0 start will finish 3rd due to having tiebreaker over Natsuko Tora.

The next event is tomorrow at Kyoto KBS Hall in Kyoto with the Blue Blocks and another Red B must-win for Seira. The event is a legit advance sellout. Live streaming on Stardom World will begin TONIGHT at 9 PM PT/midnight ET.

DDT 8/13/2026 Results

In addition to their post-WRESTLE PETER PAN presser earlier today, DDT also ran the first half of a Beer Garden Pro Wrestling doubleheader after that.

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 last-minute changes to the card due to Rukiya being pulled off the event. Fever. Out 1 week for now.

Pre-show match: Yoshihiko beat Illusion.

At the end of the NwA Jr. opening…
Shunma Katsumata beat DDT Iron Man Heavymetalweight Champion MAO to win the title. Katsumata becomes the 1896th Champion. Which led to…
Yuni beat DDT Iron Man Heavymetalweight Champion Shunma Katsumata to win the title. Yuni becomes the 1897th Champion.

Match 1: Yuya Koroku & Daichi Sato beat Jun Akiyama & Tomomiitsu Matsunaga. Sato pinned Matsunaga after a rolling elbow strike.

Match 2: KANON, Yuki Iino, Yukio Naya & Viento Levante beat Sanshiro Tagaki, Akito, Takao Soma & Yuki Ishida in 17 seconds. Iino pinned Ishida after a lariat. Which led to…
Match 2 (again): KANON, Yuki Iino, Yukio Naya & Viento Levante beat Sanshiro Tagaki, Akito, Takao Soma & Yuki Ishida . KANON beat Ishida with a ground cobra twist.

Match 3: Hideki Okatani & MJ Paul beat HARASHIMA & Hinata Kasai. Okatani pinned Kasai after a vertical drop brainbuster.

Match 4: In a Rock & Roll Deathmatch, Junta Miyawaki beat A. YAZAWA, To-y & Kazuki Hirata in a 4-way by pinning YAZAWA.

Match 5: Naomi Yoshimura, Masami Inahata & O-MENZ Kumadori beat Shunna Katsumata, DDT Iron Man Heavymetalweight Champion Yuni & Kazuma Sumi when Kumadori pinned Yuni to win the title. Kumadori becomes the 1898th Champion. He then issued a DDT Extreme Championship challenge to Katsumata. That match will happen on 8/30 at Korakuen Hall. Which led to…
Shunma Katsumata beat DDT Iron Man Heavymetalweight Champion O-MENZ Kumadori to win the title. Katsumata becomes thee 1899th Champion. Should Katsumata be Iron Man champion on 8/30 the title match will be for both titles. If not, it’s just for the Extreme title.

Main Event: In an Enter Sandman match, MAO beat Yuki Ueno, Brahman Sasaki (Daisuke Sasaki), Chris Brookes, Danshoku Dieno, Takeshi Masada & Super Sasadango Machine in a 7-way by pinning Machine. Afterwards, Sato came out to issue a KO-D Openweight Championship challenge to MAO. That match will happen on 8/30. However, keep in mind Katsumata still has a “Money In The Bank” title shot challenge right he can use anytime, anywhere. And also keep in mind that KANON has a right to challenge for the title shot right to use in the same way. So very much Card Subject To Change.

The next event is tomorrow, which will be the final Beer Garden event at the venue. Live streaming on WRESTLE UNIVERSE will begin at 3 AM PT/6 AM ET.
