Dragon Gate Pro Wrestling 12/7/25 LIVE Results

Dragon Gate wraps up a tripleheader weekend in Hokkaido today with the 4rd and last of a 3-event BxB Hulk/Kzy hometown set. It’s become more than just normal house shows because it’s kicked off a tournament to crown new Open The Triangle Gate Champions after previous champions Shun Skywalker, Homare & Gianni Valetta had to vacate the titles because of a Homare injury. The tournament is a round-robin format with 5 participating teams, and at the end the top two teams will meet in the Finals for the titles. Today will feature the third match of the tournament and second for both participating trios.

Today’s event will be held at Sapporo E-One Arena in Hokkaido and can be watched LIVE on DRAGONGATE NETWORK. You will also be able to watch the first match FOR FREE on YouTube. There will be no commentary on the main feed but an alternate feed with wrestler commentary will also be available. There are only 5 matches scheduled but that does not include a planned exhibition match so with that and presumably an intermission along the way the event should have a total running time of just over 2 hours.

Today’s lineup:

Refresh this page occasionally for the latest results.

Updates below will begin at 8 PM PT/11 PM ET. The live stream is scheduled to begin 15 minutes before the event.

7:45 PM PT UPDATE: The player commentary version stream has begun. The no commentary version should begin shortly. And with that…

We are LIVE from Sapporo E-One Stadium in Hokkaido, Japan. There is no commentary. (Yet for the wrestler version, that starts with the first match).

The paid attendance will be announced after the event. The first event Friday night did just under 400, I haven’t seen yesterday’s yet but today already looks like a near sellout. It’s a small venue but from what I see so far I’ll up what was going to be my original prediction of around 450 to closer to 500. (After the first match I only saw about 5-10 empty seats) (UPDATE: The announced paid attendance was 482)

Opening announcements underway as of 7:50 PM PT/10:50 PM ET. The matches should begin in about 15 minutes.

8 PM PT UPDATE: The YouTube broadcast has begun. As usual it’s only the first match. For now the DRAGONGATE NETWORK stream is wrestler commentary only, they did have some technical difficulties Friday with the no commentary version and there currently is not a no commentary version of yesterday’s event available on demand.

The matches begin at 8:03 PM PT/11:03 PM ET.

Match 1: Yasushi Kanda & Mochizuki Junior vs. Luis Mante & Ryoya Tanaka. 15 minute time limit
Result: Luis Mante & Ryoya Tanaka beat Yasushi Kanda & Mochizuki Junior. Mante pinned Junior after MGK.

The YouTube broadcast ends here. Also noticed clearly some changes to the card from above. Apparently the original post inadvertently listed yesterday’s lineup instead of today’s. There are 6 matches scheduled today, no exhibition match.

Match 2: Genki Horiguchi vs. Jiro Shinbashi. 15 minute time limit (this is/will be a comedy match)
Result: Genki Horiguchi beat Jiro Shinbashi

Match 3: Hyo, Ben-K, JACKY KAMEI & Riiita vs. Kota Minoura, Jason Lee, ISHIN & Yoshiki Kato. 20 minute time limit
Result: Kota Minoura, Jason Lee, ISHIN & Yoshiki Kato beat Hyo, Ben-K, JACKY KAMEI & Riiita. Minoura pinned Riiita after a sitout piledriver.

Match 4: Dragon Dia (in Dragon Kid mask & gear for entrance) & Yuki Yoshioka vs. Susumu Yokosuka & KAGETORA. 30 minute time limit
Result: Dragon Dia & Yuki Yohsioka beat Susumu Yokosuka & KAGETORA. Dia pinned KAGETORA after DDDDT.

Intermission. (Starting at 9 PM PT/midnight ET)

The matches resume at 9:15 PM PT/12:15 AM ET.

Match 5: Shun Skywalker & Gianni Valletta vs. Madoka Kikuta & KAI. 45 minute time limit
Result: Shun Skywalkier & Gianni Valletta beat Madoka Kikuta & KAI. Valletta pinned Kikuta after a King Kong lariat. Afterwards, Valletta with microphone. In English, he vowed to beat him again next week for the Open The Dream Gate Championship (side note: I thought Valletta was from Italy but it turns out he’s actually from Malta). Kikuta responded in Japanese. Valletta earned the title shot by winning the KING OF GATE Tournament.

Main Event: Open The Triangle Gate Championship Tournament: Strong Machine J, Kzy & U-T vs. YAMATO, Dragon Kid & BxB Hulk. 20 minute time limit
Result: Time Limit Draw. 1 point for each in the standings.

The next event is tomorrow at Sendai Sun Festa in Sendai. There will be no live or on demand broadcast.

All-Japan 12/6/25 Results

All-Japan ran the penultimate day of the World’s Strongest/Real World Tag League preliminary round today.

Today’s event was held at Osaka Prefectural Gym 2 in Osaka and can be watched on demand on AJPW.TV.

The announced paid attendance was 938.

Match 1: Ren Ayabe, Talos, Yuma Anzai & Shota Kofuji beat Hokuto Omori, Kuamarashi, Ryo Inoue & Seigo Tachibana. Anzai pinned Inoue after Gimlet.

Tag League:
Match 2: Block B: Ryuki Honda & Naoya Nomura beat Takashi & Kuroshio TOKYO Japan. Honda pinned Takashi after a plane throw.
Match 3: Block A: Dan Tamura & Hikaru Sato beat MUSASHI & Seiki Yoshioka. Tamura pinned MUSASHI after a powerbomb.

Match 4: Xyon & Odyssey beat Jun Saito & Naruki Doi (Independent/Freelancer). Xyon pinned Doi after a diving headbutt.

Tag League:
Match 5: Block B: Kento Miyahara & Davey Boy Smith Jr. beat Atsuki Aoyagi & Rising Hayato. Smith pinned Hayato after Bulldog Bomb.
Main Event: Block A: Hideki Suzuki & Kengo Mashimo beat Shotaro Ashino & Go Shiozaki. Suzuki pinned Ashino with a double arm suplex.

Standings:
Block A:
1-Suzuki/Mashimo, 3-1, 6 pts
2-Ayabe/Talos, 3-1, 6 pts
3-Ashino, Shiozaki, 2-1, 6 pts
4-Omori/Kumaarashi, 1-3, 2 pts (OUT)
5-MUSASHI/Yoshioka, 1-3, 2 pts (OUT)
6-Tamura/Sato, 1-3, 2 pts (OUT)

Block B:
1-Xyon/Odyssey, 4-0, 8 pts
2-Miyahara/Smith, 4-1, 8 pts
3-Honda/Nomura, 3-1, 6 pts
4-Atsuki Aoyagi/Hayato, 2-3, 4 pts (OUT)
5-Takashi/Kuroshio, 1-4, 2 pts (OUT)
6-Yuma Aoyagi/Anzai, 0-5, 0 pts (OUT)

Only the winners of each block advance to the Finals. Block A will depend on two of the three remaining matches, specifically Ayabe/Talos-Ashino/Shiozaki. If Ayabe/Talos win, they advance even if Suzuki/Mashimo win because of the tiebreaker. If Ashino/Shiozaki win, they advance if Suzuki/Mashimo lose but if Suzuki/Mashimo win, they are in on tiebreaker and Ashino/Shiozaki are out. If one match ends in a draw, the non-draw team advances with a win. If both matches are draws, we’ll need a 3-way for a tiebreaker. Block B is a bit simpler. If Xyon/Odyssey win or draw against Honda/Nomura, they advance. But if Honda/Nomura win there will probably be a 3-way because nobody will have both tiebreakers.

The next event is tomorrow at Port Messe Nagoya Exhibition Hall 2 in Nagoya. Live streaming on AJPW.TV will begin at midnight PT/3 AM ET.

Injury Report: Brass To Glass Isn’t GLEAT

Ouch, these bad GLEAT injury reports and puns sometimes…maybe having them means you can hit harder but not take them or the old “glass jaw” philosophy as after yesterday’s event the promotion announced that Brass Knuckles JUN won’t be using them, or anything else, in the ring for a while. Broken jaw. Out indefinitely. Presumably it happened in the 3-way for the vacant G-RUSH Championship. The report says a follow-up on a return date would be announced when he knows more, I imagine it’ll be at least a couple months.

More as it becomes available.

New Japan 12/5/25 Results

New Japan continued the World Tag League today in Osaka with the penultimate day of Block A.

Today’s event was held at Osaka Prefectural Gym 2 in Osaka and can be watched on demand on New Japan World. This was a live Samurai! TV broadcast in Japan.

7-Owens/Takahashi, 1-5, 2 pts (OUT)
8-Kojima/Taichi, 1-5, 2 pts (OUT)
The top 2 advance to the Semifinals. It’s chaos but one scenario is very simple-the Bishamon-Takagi/Moloney winner Monday, if there is one, advances. At least if it’s Bishamon…Takagi/Moloney could still be out if they win should both Kidd/Tsuji and Fale/EVIL win as they beat the former but lost to the latter. All but the bottom 2 still have a chance due to tiebrrakers.

The next event is Sunday at Onikita General Park Gym in Ehime with Block B. Live streaming on New Japan World will begin Saturday at 11 PM PT/2 AM ET.
