All-Japan wraps up the Dream Power Series tour today with the final event of the month and the last house show before the annual Champions Carnival tournament begins. Not much in the way of tournament buildup if any is expected and it’s a lean card with just 6 matches today, mostly tag matches except a couple of Jr. Heavyweight single matches. The main event is scheduled to be Kento Miyahara, Yuma Aoyagi & Shuji Ishikawa vs. Jun & Rei Saito & Suwama.
Today’s event will be held at Shin-Kiba 1st Ring in Tokyo and can be watched LIVE on AJPW.TV. It is not known if there will be any commentary. With none of the matches having more than a 30 minute time limit this probably will be a short event, I anticipate the total running time being no more than 2 hours so everyone can be done and hopefully home in time for the Sumo tournament final matches.
Today’s lineup:
Takao Omori, Yoshitatsu & Black Menso-re vs. Ren Ayabe, Mizuki Watase & Oji Shiiba
Rising Hayato vs. Kotaro Suzuki
Ryo Inoue vs. Kaito Ishida
Atsuki Aoyagi & Yuma Anzai vs. Naruki Doi & Hokuto Omori
Shotaro Ashino, Ryuki Honda, Yusuke Kodama & Masao Hanabata vs. Yuji Nagata, Hikaru Sato, Dan Tamura & Rey Paloma
Kento Miyahara, Yuma Aoyagi & Shuji Ishikawa vs. Suwama, Jun & Rei Saito
