Pro Wrestling NOAH 9/20/2026 LIVE Results

Pro Wrestling NOAH continues the N-1 VICTORY 2026 Tournament today with a morning matinee in Osaka. Today marks the halfway point of the tournament and will feature only Block A matches, with Day 4 of the block. With only one spot advancing nobody can clinch today but, if things don’t go his way, Yuki Iino could become the first elimination of the tournament. The highlight match is between former GHC Heavyweight Champions as Yoshiki Inamura faces Shane Haste.

Today’s event will be held at Umeda Stellar Hall in Osaka and can be watched LIVE on WRESTLE UNIVERSE. The event is a legit advance sellout. There will be no commentary. There is also a pre-show match scheduled, which will now be part of the live stream. There are 8 matches total, so including the pre-show match I anticipate the event’s running time being around 2 1/2 hours.

Today’s lineup (match order TBA except for pre-show match):
Pre-show:
Manabu Soya, Yuto Koyanagi & Hiroto Tsuruya vs. Tetsuya Endo, HAYATA & Katsumi Inahata

Main show:

Pre-show late note: Regarding Iino possibly being eliminated today, that will happen if he loses AND Kiyomiya wins or draws. Kiyomiya has beaten Iino so he has the tiebreaker.

7:39 PM PT UPDATE: Live updates begin now.

We are LIVE from Umeda Stellar Hall in Osaka, Japan. There is no commentary.

The paid attendance will be announced after the event. It’s a legit advance sellout which could be anywhere between 300-800. From what I can see I’m going to go in the middle and predict 550. (UPDATE: The announced paid attendance, a legit advance sellout, was 500)

Pre-show match: Manabu Soya, Yuto Koyanagi & Hiroto Tsuruya vs. Tetsuya Endo, HAYATA & Katsumi Inahata. 10 minute time limit

New Japan 9/19/2026 Results (Updated)

New Japan continued their annual Hokkaido tour today with the halfway point event.

Today’s event was held at Irie Sports Park General Gym in Hokkaido and can be watched on demand on New Japan World. (It’s all live & on demand the rest of the tour now)

The announced paid attendance was 1150.

Match 1: Taisei Nakahara beat Yusahin Hatazawa. (I’ve been inadvertently spelling it wrong as Hatasawa)

Match 2: Shun Skywalker won a 14 man battle royal, last eliminating Shota Umino.

Match 3: Gedo & Jeff Cobb beat Zane Jay & Callum Newman. Cobb pinned Jay after Tour of the Islands.

Match 4: Taichi, Yuya Uemura & Aaron Wolf beat Hartley Jackson, Ryohei Oiwa & Kosei Fujita. Uemura pinned Jackson after Lions Shiner.

Match 5: Daiki Nagai, Robbie X, Taiji Ishimori, Shingo Takagi & Yota Tsuji beat Tatsuya Matsumoto, Ryusuke Taguchi, Yoh, YOSHI-HASHI & Hirooki Goto. Ishimori beat Matsumoto with Bone Lock.

Main Event: OSKAR (The Grouch) & Yuto Ice (Ice Baby) beat Toru Yano & Togi Makabe. Ice pinned Makabe after KOB. As a result, OSKAR & Ice will get the next IWGP Heavyweight Tag Team Championship shot. But let’s point out the real talking point here-Makabe & Yano, who are well over 100 years old combined, managed to hang with the duo about half their age for nearly 34 minutes. 34 MINUTES! That really says something. When said title match happens it TBA but I’m thinking either DESTRUCTION of KING OF PRO WRESTLING as it all but has to be before the upcoming World Tag League.

The next event is Monday at Kitami Sports Center. Live streaming on New Japan World will begin at midnight PT/3 AM ET.

UPDATE: The Tag Title match is now official. That match will happen on 10/6 at Korakuen Hall in Tokyo.

Sumo-September 2026 Grand Sumo Tournament Day 7 Results (9/19/2026) (Top 2 Tiers)

Here are the quick results from today’s Day 7 of the September 2026 Grand Sumo Tournament in Tokyo:
Key: M-Maegashira, K-Komusubi, S-Sekiwake, O-Ozeki, Y-Yokozuna, J-Juryo, Ms-Makushita

Makuuchi (top tier):
Shonannoumi (M17) beat Kazekeno (J4)
Asasuiryu (M15) beat Tokihayate (M15)
Chiyoshoma (M14) beat Tobizaru (M14)
Asakoryu (M13) beat Wakamotoharu (M11)
Kinbozan (M10) beat Abi (M13)
Oho (M10) beat Toshinofuji (M16)
Asahakuryu (M12) beat Shishi (M9)
Shodai (M11) beat Ura (M9)
Ichiyamamoto (M5) beat Nishikifuji (M7)
Fujiseiun (M7) beat Asanoyama (M6)
Oshoma (M5) beat Hiradoumi (M8)
Roga (M5) beat Takerufuji (M6)
Takayasu (M2) beat Takanosho (M4)
Yoshinofuji (M2) beat Kotoeiho (M1)
Kotoshoho (M1) beat Hakunofuji (K)
Fujinokawa (S) beat Daieisho (K)
Aonishiki (O) beat Atamifuji (S)
Kotozakura (O) beat Fujiryoga (M4)
Kirishima (O) beat Gonoyama (M3)
Onosato (Y) beat Churanoumi (M3)
Leader: Onosato, Kotozakura (6-1)
Of note: Did my pointing it out make a difference? Yesterday I noted the 3 who were 0-6 and a couple potentially in danger of demotion to Juryo. Today they all got their first win. At the top, the leaderboard briefly thinned out considerably as the 7-way tie for the lead is now just Onosato & Kotozakura. Aonishiki bounced back with a big win against Atamifuji, which hurts the Sekiwake’s Ozeki promotion hopes but he’s still alive, however he probably now needs to go 7-1 or 8-0 or win the championship. Kirishima is still in Yokozuna contention at 5-2 but probably needs to win out, and keep in mind the elders are pretty adamant about him needing another championship to be considered for promotion. Tomorrow will see Mitakeumi return as the Juryo man for the day, he is currently 3-4 at J4.

Juryo:
Meisei (J13) beat Tokifudo (J13)
Kayo (J12) beat NIshikigi (J14)
Hitoshi (J11) beat Ikarigata (Ms4)
Kagayaki (J11) beat Tochitaikai (J14)
Tamashoho (J12) beat Enho (J9)
Ryuden (J8) beat Tanji (J10)
Tomokaze (J7) beat Nabatame (J10)
Tohakuryu (J9) beat Midorifuji (J7)
Hatsuyama (J8) beat Shirokuma (J6)
Kitanowaka (J6) beat ONokatsu (J3)
Tamawashi (J3) beat Arashifuji (J5)
Daiseizan (J2) beat Kazuma (J2)
Mitakeumi (J4) beat Kyokukaiyu (J1)
Dewanoryu (J1) beat Sadanoumi (J5)
Leader: Kayo, Kagayaki, Kitanowaka (7-0)
Of note: No changes at the top as opponents keep getting Kayo’d, Kagayaki is somehow turning back time and Kitanowaka is keeping potential top tier return hopes alive. Daiseizan is keeping pace at 6-1 and is on track for a potential top tier return in November with 2 (ideally at least 3) more wins, while it looks like Kazuma won’t be back as he is now 1-6. Tamawashi added another win today after moving into 8th all-time yesterday, moving the Iron Man to 3-4. Fujisodai is the Makushita man up tomorrow, he is 1-3 at Ms4 so he needs a win to avoid demotion. Ikarigata missed out on promotion today but at 3-1 his Juryo hopes are still alive.

Lower tier notes: Today is the first half of what I call Promotion Day in the lower tiers, where the leaders will be 4-0 and clinch promotions for next time. In the Makushita, just 2 are 4-0 so far with 8 more up tomorrow, while Asahifuji is 3-1 and technically not out of championship contention. He’ll sit out tomorrow and be back on Day 9 or 10. In the Sandanme, 5 clinched promotions today at 4-0 with 10 more up tomorrow. In the Jonidan, 4 are at 4-0 with 16 more to try tomorrow, while in the Jonokuchi there is one at 4-0 with 2 more to try tomorrow. Also in Jonokuchi, Eisei picked up his 3rd win today to improve to 3-1 by beating Fukufukumaru while Moriurara tries for his 2nd win tomorrow.

Reminder: NHK World Japan will have 50 minutes of LIVE top tier coverage FOR FREE tomorrow beginning at 1:10 AM PT/4:10 AM ET. It will also be available on demand for a limited time on the network’s English-language website and also may be available on YouTube for a limited time as well.

Sumo-September 2026 Grand Sumo Tournament Day 6 Results (9/18/2026) (Top 2 Tiers) (Updated x2)

Here are the quick results from today’s Day 6 of the September 2026 Grand Sumo Tournament in Tokyo:
Key: M-Maegashira, K-Komusubi, S-Sekiwake, O-Ozeki, Y-Yokozuna, J-Juryo, Ms-Makushita

Makuuchi (top tier):
Tokihayate (J15) beat Shonannoumi (M17)
Tobizaru (M14) beat Onokatsu (J3)
Toshinofuji (M16) beat Chiyoshoma (M14)
Abi (M13) beat Asasuiryu (M15)
Wakamotoharu (M11) beat Oho (M10)
Kinbozan (M10) beat Asakoryu (M13)
Ura (M9) beat Asahakuryu (M12)
Shishi (M9) beat Shodai (M11)
Asanoyama (M6) beat Hiradoumi (M8)
Takerufuji (M6) beat Ichiyamamoto (M6)
Nishikifuji (M7) beat Roga (M5)
Fujiseiun (M7) beat Oshoma (M5)
Churanoumi (M3) beat Fujiryoga (M4)
Kotoeiho (M1) beat Takayasu (M2)
Daieisho (K) beat Hakunofuji (K)
Atamifuji (S) beat Kotoshoho (M1)
Kotozakura (O) beat Takanosho (M4)
Yoshinofuji (M2) beat Kirishima (O)
Fujinokawa (S) beat Aonishiki (O)
Onosato (Y) beat Gonoyama (M3)
Leader: 7 at 5-1
Of note: The leaderboard notably includes only one Ozeki now-Kotozakura is keeping pace at 5-1 but Kirishima was upset by Yoshinofuji, who got his first win today, and Aonishiki has fallen to 3-3, admittedly he may not be 100% still but after a good start this is a little concerning. Onosato also remains in the lead pack at 5-1, a good sign for the beleagured Yokozuna, while many fans are surely happy to see Ura in contention again. Atamifuji is now almost halfway to potential Ozeki promotion in the 5-1 group. At the bottom, it looks like Shonannoumi’s top tier return will be brief as he is now 0-6 and it’s time to wonder if Shodai is headed for the same fate as he is also 0-6.
Onosato faces Churanoumi tomorrow, who is also 5-1, Kotozakura has Fujiryoga, Atamifuji gets Aonishiki with the rest of the co-leaders farther down. Kazekeno will be the Juryo man up tomorrow, he is currently 4-2 at J4.

Juryo:
Tamashoho (J12) beat Ryuho (Ms4)
Kagayaki (J11) beat Nishikigi (J14)
Hitoshi (J11) beat Tochitaikai (J14)
Nabatame (J10) beat Tokifudo (J13)
Tanji (J10) beat Meisei (J13)
Kayo (J12) beat Tohakuryu (J9)
Midorifuji (J7) beat Hatsuyama (J8)
Enho (J9) beat Tomokaze (J7)
Kitanowaka ((J6) beat Shirokuma (J6)
Arashifuji (J5) beat Ryuden (J8)
Mitakeumi (J4) beat Kazekeno (J4)
Sadanoumi (J5) beat Daiseizan (J2)
Tamawashi (J3) beat Dewanoryu (J1)
Kyokukaiyu (J1) beat Kazuma (J2)
Leader: Kitanowaka, Kagayaki, Kayo (6-0)
Of note: As expected, Nabatame returned today after being out yesterday due to mumps (or, more technically, an inner ear issue) and won to even his record at 3-3. His stablemaster Futagoyama indicated this was only a one-day thing so Nabatame should be fine going forward. Enho also won today to stop his losing streak and get back to even at 3-3. And that’s finally #908 for Tamawashi today, moving the Iron Man into #8 on the all-time career wins list. It’s a Special K leaderboard now with Kitanowaka, Kagayaki and Kayo all 6-0, at J6 Kitanowaka could have a chance at a top tier return if he wins the championship. That would be nice for Hakkaku as the Chairman hasn’t had a top tier wrestler since Hokutofuji retired (he’s now Oyama oyakata). Ikarigata is the Makushita man up tomorrow. He is at Ms4 and 3-0 so a win would mean promotion and a chance to reach Juryo in November if he can get a couple more wins. He will face Hitosbi.

Lower tier notes: Asahifuji returned to Makushita today and won to improve to 2-1, but with 13 in Makushita left at 3-0 it’s now very unlikely he extends his career-opening championship streak to 5, but not impossible. The Sandanme has 20 at 3-0 including Kiryuko, who saw his recent comeback halted last time by demotion due to an injury withdrawal. The Jonidan has 24 at 3-0 while the Jonokuchi has 4 at 3-0. Tomorrow is the first half of what I call Promotion Day, when the leaders will improve to 4-0 and clinch winning records and thus promotions for the next tournament.

Also, if they are not already available, advance tickets (or what’s left of them) for the November Tournament at Fukuoka International Center in Fukuoka go on sale today.

UPDATE: Major news from Nikkan Sports after today’s matches-Nishikifuji will have heart surgery after the tournament. He is currently being treated for atrial fibrillation (Afib) and is expected to be hospitalized for 4 days. He stated it started earlier this year around the time stablemate Midorifuji was diagnosed with heart failure. Nishikifuji also revealed he has chronic neck disease too, but since he is not single he intends to continue his career. Had he been single he would have retired already. When/if that day does come, he does qualify for elder stock so he may be able to stay on as a coach.

UPDATE 2: Took less than 3 hours and all remaining November tickets are now already sold out.

Injury Report: DDT Star Remains Out

Since it’s about that time, DDT has provided another update on Rukiya, who was planned to come back from pharyngitis & tonsilitis this coming week. That will not happen. A final exam resulted in the doctors ordering further treatment. Now out at least another 2 weeks until at least after the 10/1 Korakuen Hall event but still considered indefinitely. There’s still no word on how much longer he may be out beyond 10/1.

More as it becomes available.

Sumo-September 2026 Grand Sumo Tournament Day 5 Results (9/17/2026) (Top 2 Tiers)

Here are the quick results from today’s Day 5 of the September 2026 Grand Sumo Tournament in Tokyo:
Key: M-Maegashira, K-Komusubi, S-Sekiwake, O-Ozeki, Y-Yokozuna, J-Juryo, Ms-Makushita

Makuuchi (top tier):
Toshinofuji (M16) beat Shonannoumi (M17)
Chiyoshoma (M14) beat Tamawashi (J3)
Tobizaru (M14) beat Asasuiryu (M15)
Tokihayate (M15) beat Asakoryu (M13)
Abi (M13) beat Shodai (M11)
Asahakuryu (M12) beat Kinbozan (M10)
Shishi (M9) beat Oho (M10)
Ura (M9) beat Wakamotoharu (M11)
Hiradoumi (M8) beat Ichiyamamoto (M6)
Asanoyama (M6) beat Takerufuji (M8)
Oshoma (M5) beat Nishikifuji (M7)
Roga (M5) beat Fujiseiun (M7)
Fujiryoga (M4) beat Kotoeiho (M1)
Kotoshoho (M1) beat Takayasu (M2)
Fujinokawa (S) beat Hakunofuji (K)
Atamifuji (S) beat Daieisho (K)
Kirishima (O) beat Takanosho (M4)
Gonoyama (M3) beat Aonishiki (O)
Churanoumi (M3) beat Kotozakura (O)
Onosato (Y) beat Yoshinofuji (M2)
Leader: 9 at 4-1
Of note: Not the top tier return the Iron Man hoped for as Tamawashi was beaten by Chiyoshoma, keeping him one win from moving into sole possession of 8th on the all-time wins list and dropping him to 1-4. Elsewhere, it was finally O Yes for Onosato as he managed to beat Yoshinofuji for the first time and, with Kotozakura losing (and thus no 15-0 champion), join a 9-way tie at 4-1 for the lead. Aonishiki now has a rare losing streak and is 3-2 but not time to panic yet. Onokatsu will be the Juryo man up tomorrow as he looks to return to the top tier in November and is currently 3-2.

Juryo:
Nishikigi (J14) beat Tochitaikai (J14)
Kayo (J12) beat Tochikodai (Ms3)
Tokifudo (J13) beat Tamashoho (J12)
Kagayaki (J11) beat Meisei (J13)
Tanji (J10) beat Nabatame (J10) by default/withdrawal
Hitoshi (J11) beat Tohakuryu (J9)
Ryuden (J8) beat Enho (J9)
Hatsuyama (J8) beat Tokihayate (J7)
Kitanowaka (J6) beat Midorifuji (J7)
Shirokuma (J6) beat Arashifuji (J5)
Kazekeno (J4) beat Sadanoumi (J5)
Daiseizan (J2) beat Mitakeumi (J4)
Onokatsu (J3) beat Kyokukaiyu (J1)
Dewanoryu (J1) beat Kazuma (J2)
Leader: 4 at 5-0
WITHDRAWAL: Nabatame (J10). Mumps. Will return tomorrow. Nothing to worry about. He will be 2-3 with today’s absence. Tanji got the fusen as a result.
Of note: If Nishikigi gets spared demotion for a 4th straight time after this tournament if he finishes 7-8 or 6-9, today may be why. Same for a Tochitaikai demotion, but that’s all 10 days out. Enho took another loss today to fall to 2-3 while among the co-leaders is Daiseizan, not past halfway to a potential top tier return, and a surprise start by Kagayaki who is also 5-0. Ryuho will be the Makushita man up tomorrow, he is currently 2-1 at Ms4.

Lower tier notes: Asahifuji came back from only his second career loss and a 2-day break today with a win to improve to 2-1, leaving him 2 wins from promotion in Makushita. His next match should come on Day 7 or 8. Currently there are 5 at 3-0. Down in the Jonokuchi, Eisei picked up his second career win at the expense of Moriurara, now 1-2 and halfway to a 43rd straight demotion/losing record.
