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.

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 1: Blue B: Saya Kamitani beat Yuna Mizumori.

Match 2: Blue A: HANAKO beat Rian.

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

Match 4: Red B: Mei Seira beat Lady C.

Match 5: Blue B: Starlight Kid beat Koguma.

Match 6: Blue A: Julia Hart beat Miyu Amasaki.

Match 7: Blue A: Hina beat Ruaka.

Match 8: Blue B: Hanam vs. Momo Watanabe went to a 15 minute time limit draw.

Main Event: Blue A: Suzu Suzuki beat Aya Sakura.

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)
7-Amasaki, 2-4, 4 pts (OUT)
8-Rian, 0-6, 0 pts (OUT)

Blue B:
1-Kamitani, 3-0-2, 8 pts
2-Watanabe, 3-1-2, 8 pts
3-Hanan, 3-1-1, 7 pts
4-Kid, 3-1-1, 7 pts
5-Sohrei, 3-2, 6 pts
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.

DDT News: Another Departure Coming (Updated)

DDT held a post-WRESTLE PETER PAN presser today in Tokyo, which you can watch FOR FREE on YouTube. There was one noteworthy item coming from it-Takao Soma is leaving the promotion at the end of September, which was his decision in part to try things outside of wrestling. He will continue his career as a freelancer and will also step down as manager of the Dropkick sports bar.

Soma debuted in DDT in August 2009 and is a 3-time KO-D Tag Team Champion and 8-time KO-D 6-Man Tag Team Champion. His last DDT event will be 9/27 at Shinjuku Face. He didn’t say much about his outside wrestling plans except “I have some thoughts on it, but it’s something I want to say after it happens.”

UPDATE: While DDT Extreme Champion Shunma Katsumata was also at the presser, they didn’t talk about his next challenger. But based on social media posts afterwards, it looks like next up will be O-MENZ Kumadori.

Injury Report? Bad Posture? (Updated)

Tokyo Joshi Pro wrestler Mahiro Kiryu has made a gimmick out of comedy bowing & kneeling during matches, usually on a downed opponent’s back (fun side note: I recently learned she is also at least part-German. I think she was born in Germany). That won’t happen for a bit as the promotion announced she is injured…and how ironic where. Back. Out indefinitely including Sunday. She was to have teamed with Shoko Nakajima, Hyper Misao & Pom Harajuku to face Miu Watanabe, Raku, Shino Suxuki & Uta Takami. Because of this, that match will now be Nakajima, Wakana Uehara, Haru Kazashiro & Ren Konatsu vs. Up Up Girls, Harajuku will now face Miyu Yamashita and the 3-way Yuki match of Yuki Arai vs. Yuki Kamifuku & Yuki Aino is now Arai, Kamifuku & Aino vs. Misao, Arisu Endo & Sakura Hattori. A planned match of Yanashita, Hattori & Konatsu vs. Endo, Uehara & Kazashiro is now off. The other matches-Mizuki vs. Shion Kanzaki, Chika Nanase vs. Momo Sato and the Tokyo Princess Cup Semifinals-are on as planned.I

t’s not yet known how long Kiryu will be out.

More as it becomes available.

UPDATE: Kiryu has been announced for the next Hyper Misao Produced event on 9/15 at Kitazawa Town Hall in Tokyo. That’s usually more a theater/comedy event with just one match so not the best barometer for a return.

New Japan 8/11/2026 Results

New Japan continued the G1 CLIMAX 36 today in Mie with Block B.

Today’s event was held at Hinyo Highway Arena in Mie and can be watched on demand on New Japan World.

The announced paid attendance was 2310.

Match 1: Jacob Austin Young & Great-O-Khan beat Masatora Yasuda & Boltin Oleg. Young pinned Yasuda after a spiral brainbuster.

Match 7: Aaron Wolf beat Callum Newman.
Main Event: Yuya Uemura beat Gabriel Kidd.

Standings (Block B):
1-Uemura, 5-3, 10 pts
2-Newman, 5-3, 10 pts
3-Narita, 5-3, 10 pts
4-Kidd, 5-3, 10 pts
5-Moloney, 5-4, 10 pts
6-Sabre, 4-4, 8 pts (OUT)
7-HENARE, 4-4, 8 pts
8-Wolf, 4-4, 8 pts
9-OSKAR, 4-4, 8 pts
10-Shota Umino, 0-9, 0 pts (OUT)
the top 2 advance to the Semmifinals. Where to start? First, Moloney. He has no matches left so his only hope is every remaining match is a no contest. He is not out officially but is pretty much out. Second, the apocalypse scenario of a 7-way tie! Believe it or not, that and any all-10 point scenario would mean HENARE wins the block, but first he must beat Newman. Complicated stuff-currently the advantage for tiebreakers is held by Narita and Newman. OSKAR and Wolf must win and get a lot of help to have any chances. As for others, Uemura must beat OSKAR AND both Newman & Narita must lose or draw. I’m marking Sabre out because of tiebreakers-he only beat Moloney, HENARE & OSKAR. So there seems to be no real path forward.
Simple stuff now-Newman advances with a win (HENARE) because he then would only lose tiebreaker to Narita. Narita advances by beating Kidd. Kidd must beat Narita and needs either Uemura or Newman to lose.

Sit back and enjoy the CHAOS!!!

The next event is tomorrow at Act City Hamamatsu in Shizuoka with the final day of Block A. Live streaming on New Japan World will begin at 2:30 AM PT/5:30 AM ET.

DDT 8/11/2026 Results (Updated x2)

WRESTLE PETER PAN 2026, DDT’s biggest event of the year, is now in the books.

Today’s event was held at Ryogoku Kokugikan in Tokyo and can be watched on demand on WRESTLE UNIVERSE in Japanese.

The paid attendance was not announced. Not a sellout and was also greatly reduced capacity (full capacity is 15,000, usually for sumo).

Match 1: KANON, Yukio Naya & Viento Levante beat KO-D 6-Man Tag Team Champions Takeshi Masada, Yuya Koroku & Daichi Sato to win the titles. KANON, Naya & Levante become the 61st KO-D 6-Man Tag Team Champions. Levante pinned Masada.

After that match…

Super Sasadango Machine beat DDT Iron Man Heavymetalweight Champion Illusion to win the title. Machine becomes the 1885th Champion. Which led to…

Yuki Ishida beat DDT Iron Man Heavymetalweight Champion Super Sasadango Machine to win the title. Ishida becomes the 1886th Champion. Which led to…

Yuni beat DDT Iron Man Heavymetalweight Champion Yuki Ishida to win the title. Yuni becomes the 1887th Champion. Which led to…

Kazuki Hirata beat DDT Iron Man Heavymetalweight Champion Yuni to win the title. Hirata becomes the 1888th Champion. Which led to…

Akito beat DDT Iron Man Heavymetalweight Champion Kazuki Hirata to win the title. Akito becomes the 1889th Champion.

Match 2: Illusion won a 12 man battle royal to win the DDT Iron Man Heavymetalweight Championship. Illusion becomes the 1892nd Champion. Also winning the title during the match were Masami Inahata (1890) and Yoshihiko (1891) Which led to…

Kazuki Hirata beat DDT Iron Man Heavymetalweight Champion Illusion to win the title. Hirata becomes the 1893rd Champion.

Basically the whole second half-hour of the event was Iron Man title changes. Pro Wrestling, Everybody!!!

Match 3: Minoru Suzuki & Sanshiro Takagi beat Kazuki Hirata & To-y. Takagi pinned To-y after Stone Cold Stunner. As a result, Takagi wins the “Money In The Bank” title challenge rights from To-y.

Match 4: Jun Akiyama & Rukiya beat Jun & Hinata Kasai. Rukiya pinned Hinata Kasai with R. Fisherman’s Buster.

Match 5: In a Barbed Wire Deathmatch, Shunma Katsumata beat DDT Extreme Champion Hideki Okatani to win the title. Katsumata becomes the 65th DDT Extreme Champion. And also wins the “Money In The Bank” title challenge rights from Okatani.

Match 10: Konosuke Takeshita beat Kaisei Takechi.

Main Event: MAO beat KO-D Openweight Champion Yuki Ueno to win the title. MAO becomes the 89th KO-D Openweight Champion. It took almost 34 minutes for MAO to end Ueno’s reign and finally win the title for the first time. But then Takagi cashed in! Which led to…

Impromptu Match: KO-D Openweight Champion MAO beat Samshiro Takagi to retain the title. V1 for MAO. So now that leaves Katsumata with the other challenge rights and about a month to use it, but there also is a right to challenge for the right out there.

And to wrap up things after 5+ hours like only DDT can…

Shogo Yamamoto beat DDT Iron Man Heavymetalweight Champion Kazuki Hirata to win the title. Yamamoto becomes the 1894th Champion. (Yamamoto was a special guest and is a teammate of Kaiser Takechi in the entertainment group THE RAMPAGE)

It was also announced that next year, the 30th Anniversary Event on 3/22 will be held at Ryogoku Kokugikan. Usually it’s been at Korakuen Hall.

Now then before further wackiness ensues…

The next event is Thursday at Shinjuku Face for the start of a final Beer Garden Pro Wrestling doubleheader at the venue. Live streaming on WRESTLE UNIVERSE will begin at 3 AM PT/6 AM ET.

UPDATE: 2 title matches have been announced following today’s event: Taguchi’s DDT Universal Championship reign might be a short one because his first challenger is Sasaki. And Aoki & Miyawaki will first defend the tag titles against Akiyama & Rukiya. Those matches will happen on 8/30 at Korakuen Hall.

UPDATE 2: This hopefully won’t affect 8/30 but it was announced afterwards that Rukiya is now out of action. Fever. Out at least a week including the next 3 events (8/13-8/17).

DEVELOPING: Here Comes A New Stardom Challenger? (Updated)

Based on some back-and-forth in the last few hours on social media, it appears a new title match in Stardom could be happening soon, separate from the ongoing 5STAR GP. Future Of Stardom Champion Ranna Yagami, who has been on an international excursion as she is not participating in the 5STAR GP, has had a potential challenger emerge on the socials-following Yagami defending the title in the US last month (V7 for Yagami) and basically issuing an open challenge to anyone there, Izzy Moreno, a Florida-based independent wrestler, has stepped up to accept the challenge. And Yagami has also accepted, now she has asked Stardom President Taro Okada to make it happen. According to a response from Okada, he’s working on it.

More as it becomes available.

UPDATE: It’s now official. That match will happen on Friday (8/14) at a Coastal Championship Wrestling (CCW) event in Kissimmee, FL. And the winner will then defend on Saturday (8/15) at another CCW event in Doral, FL vs. Remi Reade.
