Having also ended the monthly STAR NAVIGATION Tour last year that dated back tot he pandemic, Pro Wrestling NOAH ran their first monthly Tokyo tentpole event of 2026 today, LEGACY RISE 2026.
Today’s event was held at Korakuen Hall in Tokyo and can be watched on demand on WRESTLE UNIVERSE in Japanese & English. The live broadcast was English only due to being an exclusive ABEMA live broadcast.
The announced paid attendance was 1489, a super full house/very near sellout.
Match 1: Shuhei Taniguchi, Atsushi Kotoge, Hajime Ohara & Hi69 beat Katsumi Inahata, Yuto Koyanagi, Hiroto Tsuruya & Midori Takahashi. Kotoge pinned Koyanagi after a bat drop.
Match 2: Jack Morris, Galeno, Will Kroos, Daga & Dragon Bane beat Naomichi Marufuji, Kenoh, Manabu Soya, Eita & Mohammed Yone. Kroos pinned Eita after a diving body press.
Match 3: KENTA beat Ulka Sasaki. It sounds like this may be Sasaki’s match before leaving the promotion for a while for an international excursion.
Match 4: Takashi Sugiura, Alpha Wolf, Tadasuke & Jun Masaoka (Independent/Freelancer) beat Kaito Kiyomiya, Harutoki, Alejandro & Kai Fujimura. Wolf beat Alejandro.
