All-Japan had previously announced an NWA World Heavyweight Championship match would take place at the 6/18/2026 event at Korakuen Hall in Tokyo. With the latest NWA live events (and perhaps TV tapings to take them to their annual biggest event in late July) this weekend in the books, that match is now official. It will be current champion Silas Mason defending the 10 Pounds Of Gold (as they call the NWA World Heavyweight Championship) against Shotaro Ashino. If Ashino somehow wins the title, presumably he would defend in the US at NWA 78 on 7/25 in Philadelphia, PA.
Dragon Gate News: Streaming Service Maintenance
Dragon Gate’s English language social media accounts posted an important notice earlier today regarding DRAGONGATE NETWORK: It will be down and unavailable in early July due to scheduled maintenance. It’s an unusually long period by streaming service standards-7/5-7/8 Japan time, meaning it could start on 7/4 in the US. It’s expected to end on 7/7 at 8 PM PT/11 PM ET. There are 3 Dragon Gate events scheduled during that time but the likelihood of any of them being planned to air live is virtually zero, and it does come after next month’s Korakuen Hall event on 7/2 so if you miss it live don’t wait too long to watch on demand or you may have to wait a while longer.

Dragon Gate News: Title Vacated
Apparently I missed a title change in Dragon Gate last month and didn’t know it until this was just reported-the Open The Triangle Vate Championship is now VACANT. Previous champions Gurukun Mask, Churaumi Saber & Tiran Shisa have vacated the titles today due to Shisa retiring after a successful defense yesterday at a Ryukyu Dragon Pro Wrestling event. They won the titles on 5/17 from Natural Vibes. No word yet on plans to crown new champions.

New Japan/DDT 6/8/2026 Results
New Japan & DDT came together today for a second Toru Yano vs. Super Sasadango Machine crossover event that was pure comedy.
Today’s event was held at Korakuen Hall in Tokyo and can be watched on demand as a PPV on New Japan World and WRESTLE UNIVERSE until 6/30. It’s $22.99 on New Japan World but different on WRESTLE UNIVERSE (they said 4400 Japanese yen or around $28 but paid subscribers may be able to get it for 2500 yen or around $15).
The paid attendance was not announced.
While the card was not announced in advance, there was a last-second change due to Tomoaki Honma being pulled off the event. The always vague poor health. KUSHIDA was the replacement.
It appears that the matches followed a Gauntlet match format with winners staying, losers eliminated, 5 on each side.
Match 1: In an Exhibition Match, Tatsuya Matsumoto vs. Hinata Kasai went to a 3
minute time limit draw. Which led to…
Match 1 (continued): In a 5-minute extension, Tatsuya Matsumoto beat Hinata Kasai.
Match 2: In a Fluorescent Lighttubes Deathmatch where the first one responsible for breaking a lighttube loses, Akito & MAP beat El Desperado & KUSHIDA. Desperado broke the lighttube.
Match 3: In a Blindfold Butt Hiding Hell Match, where the first side to have their pants pulled down and (surely much to Danshoku Dieno’s delight) have their butt completely exposed loses, Ryusuke Taguchi & Yoh beat Akito & MAO. Taguchi pulled MAO’s off, much to the delight of any female fans in the crowd, I’m sure.
Match 4: In a Submissions Only Match (no pinfalls, win only by submission), Ryusuke Taguchi & Yoh vs. Antonio Gonda & Kazuki Hirata went to a draw. Both Taguchi & Honda gave up simultaneously.
Match 5: In a Classic Senior Deathmatch, where whoever made their respective junior wrestler laugh (with a mouth full of water no less) 3 times first loses, Hirooki Goto beat Super Sasadango Machine.
Match 6: Hirooki Goto vs. Danshoku Dieno went to a no contest. Out of control. Technically New Japan wins because DDT has nobody left and Yano was left for New Japan. Which led to…
Impromptu Match: In a Weapon Rumble Hell Match, Toru Yano vs. Snashiro Takagi went to an apparent no contest. Which led to…
Impromptu Match 2: In a handicap match, Konosuke Takeshita beat Super Sasadango Machine & Toru Yano by pinning Machine. Which led to…
Impromptu Match 3: In a handicap match, everyone on today’s event plus Masatora Yasuda beat Sanshiro Takagi in 98 seconds. Takeshita pinned Takagi.
After it was seemingly over, it ended on a mystery note with the discovery of Pro Wrestling NOAH wrestler Kenoh in the locker room. Apparently he was to have been a weapon today…guess that’s for another time!
The next New Japan event is DOMINION, the annual June Osaka blowout event, Sunday at Osaka-jo Hall in Osaka. Live streaming on New Japan World OUTSIDE JAPAN ONLY will begin at midnight PT/3 AM ET. This will be a live & exclusive TV Asahi broadcast in Japan.
The next DDT event is Wednesday at Shinjuku Face. Live streaming on WRESTLE UNIVERSE will begin at 3 AM PT/6 AM ET.
Dragon Gate News: Update On Shun Skywalker
Dragon Gate has posted an official update on the status of Shun Skywalker’s remaining time with the promotion…reports that he would finish up at Kobe World Hall next month have turned out to be incorrect. He now has 5 events left and his finale before leaving the promotion will be on 8/4 at Korakuen Hall in Tokyo. The series of events will be called “SSW DRAGONGATE FINAL SERIES”. The dates left are as follows:
6/14-Ceratopia Toki, Gifu

7/13-Shinjuku Face, Tokyo
7/20-Kobe World Hall, Kobe (Kobe Pro Wrestling Festival 2026)

However, there is one small detail noticed at the bottom right of the promo poster on social media below 8/4…”…AND MORE!?” We shall see, I guess…
More as it becomes available.

Pro Wrestling NOAH 6/7/2026 LIVE Results
Pro Wrestling NOAH continues the NEO Global Tag League today with the last day of Block A. The winners of the block after today’s matches will advance to the Finals. That scenario is pretty simple-the winner of today’s match between Tetsuya Naito & BUSHI and Karl Anderson & Doc Gallows will advance to the Finals. If it goes to a draw, tiebreakers mean there will be a rematch. It can only get complicated if it somehow winds up being a no contest meaning Team 2000X finds a way to ruin everything like they do so well.
Today’s event will be held at Kasai Sports Center in Aomori and can be watched LIVE on WRESTLE UNIVERSE. There will be no commentary. There are 8 matches planned and no mention of whether or not there will be an intermission but it probably will wind up being a standard house show with a running time of around 2 hours.
Today’s lineup (match order TBA):
Alejandro vs. RYUSEI
KENTA, Katsumi Inahata & Eita vs. Mohammed Yone, Atsushi Kotoge & Hajime Ohara
Manabu Soya, Yuki Iino,. Hiroto Tsuruya & Yuto Koyanagi vs. OZAWA, Tadasuke, Kai Fujimura & Jun Masaoka
Kazuyuki Fujita vs. Black Menso-re
Naomichi Marufuji, Kenoh, AMAKUSA & Midori Takahashi vs. Yoshiki Inamura, Stallion Rogers, Hi69 & Daiki Odashima
