New Japan 5/4/2026 Results (Updated x2)

WRESTLING DONTAKU Day 2, falling on the traditional day of New Japan’s annual Golden Week blowout event, is in the books.

Today’s event was held at Fukuoka International Center in Fukuoka and can be watched on demand on New Japan World. You can also watch the first 2 matches FOR FREE on YouTube.

The announced paid attendance was 3603, a full house/near sellout. While nearly 50% more than yesterday, that is still less than half capacity for the venue.

Pre-show match: Masatora Yasuda beat Taisei Nakahara.

Match 1: NNPW WORLD TV Champion Konosuke Takeshita beat Chase Owens to retain the title. V3 for Takeshita. Afterwards a masked man attacked Takeshita then revealed his identity…SANADA! See You Next Time! For the title?!?

Mistico & Desperado become the 83rd IWGP Junior Heavyweight Tag Team Champions. Desperado beat Fujita with Numero Dos. Once again, a reminder that TMDK also stands for The Mighty Don’t Kosei.

Match 8: Great-O-Khan, HENARE & Will Ospreay beat NEVER 6-Man Tag Team Champions Boltin Oleg, YOSHI-HASHI & Hirooki Goto to win the titles. Khan, HENARE & Ospreay become the 34th NEVER Openweight Champions. Khan pinned YOSHI-HASHI after Great Blade Bomb. Afterwards, Khan & HENARE issued an IWGP Heavyweight Tag Team Championship challenge.

Main Event: IWGP Heavyweight Champion Callum Newman beat Shingo Takagi to retain the title. V1 for Newman. 35+ minutes in what easily has to be the longest match of Newman’s career so far. But this proves it wasn’t a fluke. And for now United Empire is back on top of New Japan.

In post-event backstage comments, Takeshita expressed a desire to align with the main New Japan unit as today marked his 2nd anniversary as a member of the promotion (he is also signed with DDT and All Elite Wrestling).

The next event is Wednesday at Karatsu City Gym in Saga. Live streaming on New Japan World will begin at 1 AM PT/4 AM ET.

UPDATE: While nothing has been announced yet for Wednesday, it appears Newman issued a challenge to Takagi & Tsuji after the main event for that day-both of them vs. Newman & Lee. If Newman gets beaten, whoever got the pinfall/submission gets a rematch for the title at DOMINION on 6/14. But if United Empre wins, Takagi & Tsuji can never challenge for the title again. More to come.

UPDATE 2: It’s now official. And specifically, if United Empire wins, neither can challenge Newman for the title again as long as he still is champion, not neither challenging for the title ever again.

Tokyo Joshi Pro Wrestling “YES! WONDERLAND” LIVE Results (5/4/2026) (Updated x2)

YES! WONDERLAND, Tokyo Joshi Pro’s annual Golden Week blowout event, returns today after not being held last year in a surprise decision. It’s considered one of their biggest events of the year and as usual will feature all 3 titles being defended. First up will be the International Princess Championship as Suzume defends the title against Haru Kazashiro. Second, the Princess Tag Team Championship is on the line as Miu Watanabe & Rika Tatsumi try to bring the titles back home and away from current champions Cassie Lee & Jessica McKay. Finally, the main event is the Princess Of Princess Championship as Yuki Arai makes her second defense against Arisu Endo. They are good friends who debuted together 5 years ago, and now their paths cross again in the ring with the top prize on the line.

It was announced previously that Mifu Ashida is off today’s event as well as the next event later this week. Schedule conflicts.

Today’s event will be held at Korakuen Hall in Tokyo and can be watched LIVE on WRESTLE UNIVERSE and ABEMA (separate UNIVERSE add-on required) in Japanese & English. Reina Seiji of J-Pop group NGT48 will be a special guest on Japanese commentary. There are 9 matches planned with no intermission and they are on a tight clock because of a DDT event a few hours later, so the longest the event could go is about 3 1/2 hours but I would expect it to be closer to 2 1/2 hours.

Today’s lineup:
Ren Konatsu vs. Shion Kanzaki
YuuRI, Wakana Uehara & Kira Summer vs. HIMAWARI, Shino Suzuki & Chika Nanase
Mizuki, Mei Suruga & Uta Takami vs. Yuki Aino, Raku & Pom Harajuku

The paid attendance will be announced after the event. It’s the usual reduced-capacity Korakuen setup using only 1/3 of the opposite-hard camera bleachers so while advance tickets ales were decent I’ll go with my usual Korakuen THPW prediction of around 750. And today we will also have STREAMERS!!! (UPDATE: The announced paid attendance was 1087, a full house/near sellout)

Result: Miu Watanabe & Rika Tatsumi beat Princess Tag Team Champions Cassie Lee & Jessica McKay to win the titles. Watanabe & Tatsumi become the 21st Princess Tag Team Champions. Watanabe pinned Lee after Daydream And they are only the second team ever to win the titles twice or more (Yuka Sakazaki & Mizuki are the other with 3 reigns). Next up: Speaking of…much to my dismay, Mizuki. And Takami..It sounds like that match will happen on 6/7.

Main Event: Princess Of Princess Champion Yuki Arai vs. Arisu Endo for the title. 30 minute time limit
Result: Princess Of Princess Champion Yuki Arai beat Arisu Endo to retain the title. V2 for Arai. But it took 20+ grueling minutes…but I go home very happy. Next up…Kamifuku. Kamiyu Comin’ Through! The one Yuki that hasn’t had a shot at the title yet, at least in the roughly 6-7 years I’ve been following TJPW. Maybe the 6/7 main event, which at least means I have another month to enjoy Arai’s title reign.

The next event is Wednesday at Tsukuba International Conference Hall Multipurpose Hall in Ibaraki for a Suzume hometown event. There will be no live broadcast. On demand Sunday.

UPDATE: Both hinted-at title matches are now official for 6/7. Also, the trainee debuting soon was Momo Sato, who previously appeared a couple months ago. She is a J-pop idol and younger sister of DDT wrestler Daichi Sato.

UPDATE 2: The main event of Wednesday’s event MAY be streamed live on WRESTLE UNIVERSE via the Universe Cast feature. This will be a last-minute decision though.

All-Japan 5/3/2026 Results

All-Japan ran the penultimate day of the Champions Carnival prelims today in Tochigi.

Today’s event was held at Light Cube Utsunomiya in Tochigi and can be watched on demand on AJPW.TV. (There was no live broadcast)

The announced paid attendance was 670.

Match 1: Xyon beat Shota Kofuji.

Match 2: Kento Miyahara, Rei Saito, Daisuke Sekimoto & Ryo Inoue beat Shotaro Ashino, Hokuto Omori, MUSASHI & Seiki Yoshioka. Saito pinned Yoshioka after a chokeslam.

Champions Carnival Block A::
Match 3: Kumaarashi beat Yuma Anzai by ref stoppage. Only went 114 seconds. More possibly about this at the end.
Match 4: Go Shiozaki beat Kengo Mashimo.

Match 5: Seigo Tachibana, Hyo Ogawa (Independent/Freelancer) & Nobuhiko Kimura (Independent/Freelancer) beat Dan Tamura, Yuma & Atsuki Aoyagi. Tachibana pinned Tamura after Yankee Hammer.

Champions Carnival:
Match 6: Block A: Talos beat Odyssey.
Match 7: Block B: Hideki Suzuki beat Madoka Kikuta (Dragon Gate).
Main Event: Block B: Ren Ayabe beat Ryuki Honda.

Before we continue…
Injury Report: Anzai was injured during yesterday’s event and competed today but it may have factored in his match going less than 2 minutes. Right leg. Out Tuesday which means tournament over. He was to have faced Rei Saito, who will now get a forfeit win. It costs Anzai a chance at advancing, unfortunately. Senor Saito is the replacement and will team with Rei Saito to face Hideki Suzuki & Shota Kofuji in a pre-show match.

Standings, which include the Anzai forfeit for Tuesday:
Block A:
1-Rei Saito, 4-3, 8 pts
2-Miyahara, 3-2-1, 7 pts
3-Shiozaki, 3-3, 6 pts
5-Kumaarashi, 3-3, 6 pts
5-Mashimo, 3-3, 6 pts
6-Talos, 3-3, 6 pts
7-Odyssey, 3-3, 6 pts
8-Anzai, 2-4-1, 5 pts (OUT)

Block B:
1-Suzuki, 4-2-1, 9 pts
2-Ayabe, 4-2, 8 pts
3-Sekimoto, 4-2, 8 pts
4-Yuma Aoyagi, 3-2-1, 7 pts
5-Honda, 3-3, 6 pts
6-Kikita, 3-2-1 NP (No Points), 6 pts
7-Xyon, 2-3-1 NP, 4 pts (OUT)
8-Jun Saito, 0-7, 0 pts (OUT-injured)

The top 2 in each block advance to the Semifinals. The Anzai injury shook up Block A, meaning Saito can only not advance on tiebreakers and taking Anzai out of contention. Saito loses tiebreakers to Miyahara, Mashimo and Odyssey. Miyahara advances with a win against Mashimo. But if Miyahara loses or draws, it will come down to tiebreakers and we’re almost certainly going to need a tiebreaker multi-man match. In Block B. Suzuki is not yet safe as he needs either Ayabe or Sekimoto to lose. If either Ayabe or Sekimoto win, the winner advances. If both win their matches, they both advance and Suzuki is out. Aoyagi must beat Xyon to have a chance to advance, and he needs both Ayabe & Sekimoto to lose. Xwon is officially out. Otherwise, it’s going to come doen to tiebreakers.

The last prelim round event is Tuesday at Korakuen Hall in Tokyo. Live streaming on AJPW.TV will begin at 2:30 AM PT/5:30 AM ET. This will also be a Samurai! TV broadcast in Japan although it’s not clear whether it will be live or taped for broadcast at a later date.

In other news, the NWA Crockett Cup Tournament, which was won earlier this year by Ren Ayabe & Talos, is now airing in the US as part of Season 27 of NWA POWERRR on new TV home COMET.

Pro Wrestling NOAH 5/2/2026 Results

SPRING MAYHEM RYOGOKU 20026, Pro Wrestling NOAH’s Golden Week blowout event, is in the books.

Today’s event was held at Ryogoku Kokugikan in Tokyo and can be watched on demand on WRESTLE UNIVERSE in Japanese. Keiji Muto & Shinjiro Otani joined Akitoshi Saito as guest former wrestlers on commentary.

The announced paid attendance was 4539. They did not use the full capacity (particularly in the lower level box seats that can seat 4-6 for sumo) so it was not setup for the normal maximum of 15,000. So this number is not as bad as it sounds.

The match order was not announced until event time, in part due to fan voting for the main event.

Pre-show:
Match 1: Atsushi Kotoge, Hi69 & Hajime Ohara beat Yuto Koyanagi, Hiroto Tsuruya & Midori Takahashi. Kotoge beat Takahashi with a Texas cloverleaf.
