New Japan News: Post-Major Event News/Fallout (Updated)

New Japan did their usual post-major event news dump today coming out of KING OF PRO WRESTLING yesterday, mostly focused on POWER STRUGGLE on 11/3 and the upcoming Super Junior Tag League:

First, here is what was announced for the 11/3 blowout event in Hiroshima: IWGP Heavyweight Champion Yota Tsuji vs. Boltin Oleg & Kenny Omega in a 3-way NON-TITLE match, IWGP Global Champion Gabriel Kidd vs. Taichi for the title, IWGP Heavyweight Tag Team Champions OSKAR & Yuto Ice vs. Will Ospreay & Callum Newman for the titles, Shingo Takagi & Jeff Cobb vs. Jon Moxley & Wheeler Yuta and the Super Junior Tag League Finals. The 3-way suggests if Tsuji loses, the winner could get the main event title shot at Tokyo Dome given all that’s left after 11/3 is a handful of independent produced events, the World Tag League and a Korakuen Hall doubleheader to wrap up 2026, then it’s Tokyo Dome.

As for the Super Junior Tag League, it was announced that 12 teams will participate this year in a 2-block round-robin format, with the winners of both blocks advancing to the Finals. Tiebreaker if needed will be head-to-head result. The entered teams:
Block A: El Desperado & Mistico (current IWGP Jubior Heavyweight Tag Team Champions), Ryusuke Taguchi & Kazuma Sumi (DDT), Master Wato & KUUKAI, KUSHIDA & Nick Wayne (All Elite Wrestling), Taiji Ishimori & Robbie X, DOUKI & Yoshinobu Kanemaru (DOUKI was half of last year’s winners)
Block B: Yoh & Hyo (Dragon Gate), Titan & Daiki Nagai, Robbie Eagles & Kosei Fujita, Francesco Akira & Jacob Austin Young, Blake Christian & Lee Johnson (AEW), Sho & Dick Togo

The tournament runs from 10/24-11/3. The winners, unless it’s Desperado & Mistico, will get an IWGP Junior Heavyweight Tag Team Championship shot, likely at Tokyo Dome. And based on the blocks, anything but the champs winning Block A will be a big upset while Block B looks like it’s between Eagles/Fujita-the 2024 winners-and Akira/Young.

UPDATE: Due to Sumi’s participation in the tournament, DDT has announced he will miss all DDT events from 10/24-11/3. Unfortunately that means he will be off Ultimate Party 2026, the promotion’s upcoming annual fall blowout event, on 11/3 at Ryogoku Kokugikan in Tokyo. The only other event he will miss is 10/24 at Yokohama Radiant Hall in Yokohama, but he had not yet been announced for the event so no card changes should be needed. Sumi also was not yet in a match for 11/3.

Dragon Gate News: Vacant Championship Update

Dragon Gate has posted an update on the Open The Brave Gate Championship, which was held up last month after Ryu Fuda beat Dragon Kid to win the title but the title change was not recognized due to ISHIN interference. Kid has been named Interim Champion and a tournament will be held to crown a new champion. It’ll be a single-elimination bracket event with qualifying wrestlers from each faction, meaning weighing 82 kg or less, and that means first on 10/18 (doubleheader at Acros Fukuoka) will be matches of Homare vs. KAGETORA and JACKY KAMEI vs. GuC. The winners will meet on 10/24 at Kyoto KBS Hall and that winner will face Kid on 11/5 at Korakuen Hall in Tokyo for the title. You’re maybe thinking what I’m thinking-no Ryoya Tanaka? I guess his new faction wasn’t considered.

All tournament events and matches will be available live & on demand on DRAGONGATE NETWORK.

Main Event: Shoko Nakajima & Uta Takami beat Miu Watanabe & Shion Kanzaki. Nakajima pinned Kanzaki with a Northern Lights suplex hold. Wait, isn’t the hometown wrestler supposed to win in the main event? That’s usually how it goes so this feels wrong.

There are late changes to Thursday’s event due to Kengo Mashino & Yuya Aoki emergency participation. A planned match of Hideki Suzuki & Shota Kofuji vs. Go Shiozaki & Yaustaka Yano is now Suzuki, Kofuji & Mashimo vs. Shiozaki, Yano & Aoki.

During the event, President Hiroshi Tanahashi also announced TANAHASHI JAM 2 will be held on 11/19 at Korakuen Hall. This likely will be an exclusive TV Asahi broadcast, if it’s like the first one that means no New Japan World live but maybe on demand after the exclusive TV window ends.

Live streaming as a PPV on New Japan World will begin Friday at 11 PM PT/2 AM ET.

Also, tickets for Tokyo Dome on 14 will go on sale later this week. Based on a map of the planned seating layout, it suggests the setup will be for around 45,000. The Dome’s full capacity, primarily for baseball, is 65,000, but they won’t be using what would be the center field seating areas
