All-Japan continues the Excite Series 2026 Tour today in Tokyo as the build to its upcoming Junior Heavyweight Tag Team Tournament winds down. The first half of today’s events feature tag matches with the spotlight on the Junior Heavyweights before the second half focuses on upcoming Heavyweight Tag Team and Triple Crown matches. In the middle was planned to be a grudge match of sorts as the Hokuto Army has basically imploded. Unfortunately…
There has bern a late change to the card due to Hokuto Omori being pulled off the event. Flu. He was to have faced Kumaarashi in said grudge match. Takashi is the replacement.
Today’s event will be held at Shin-Kiba 1st Ring in Tokyo and can be watched LIVE on AJPW.TV. You will also be able to watch the first 3 matches FOR FREE on YouTube. The event is a legit advance sellout. It’s not yet known if there will be any commentary. There are 6 matches scheduled with an intermission at the halfway point so even with the break the event probably won’t run longer than 2 1/2 hours, and should be closer to 2 hours. The longest it could go would be just under 3 hours.
Today’s lineup:
Go Shiozaki & Shotaro Ashino vs. Seigo Tachibana & Yuko Miyamoto
MUSASHI & Shota Kofuji vs. Dan Tamura & Hikaru Sato
Atsuki Aoyagi & Rising Hayato vs. Seiki Yoshioka & Yuya Susumu

In a not-related-to-today update, the next All-Asia Tag Team Championship match has been announced: Next up for Masaaki Mochizuki & Don Fujii-Tatsumi Fujinami & Strong Machine J. That match will happen on 3/3 at the Dragon Gate Korakuen Hall event. (For the youngins, Fujinami is an example of how wrestlers never really retire until they die. He is 70 and still going after over 50 years)
