Stardom 4/29/2026 Results

With their latest biggest annual event behind them, Stardom began their week-long Golden Week tour (which coincides with a weeklong national holiday period in Japan) today.

Today’s event was held at Fukuyama Big Rose in Hiroshima and will be available on demand on Stardom World at a later date. There was no live broadcast.

The announced paid attendance was 738, a legit sellout.

Match 1: Maika beat Tabata (CMLL).

Match 2: Starlight Kid & Mei Seira beat Matoi Hamabe & Anne Kanaya. Kid beat Kanaya with Black Tiger Leg Murder.

Match 3: Syuri, Ami Sohrei & Lady C beat Natsupoi, Saori Anou & Rian. Sohrei pinned Rian after Blue Thunder Bomb.

Tokyo Joshi Pro 4/29/2026 Results

Tokyo Joshi Pro ran a special WRESTLE UNIVERSE members-only event today, which was full of comedy matches and wrestlers appearing as other wrestlers.

Today’s event was held at Itabashi Green Hall in Tokyo and will be available on demand on WRESTLE UNIVERSE Saturday. There was no live broadcast.

The announced paid attendance was 220, a legit advance sellout.

Instead of the usual opening announcement routines, referee Fumirin did the opening announcements and normal ring announcer Rise Shirai filled in for Up Up Girls.

Match 1: Sakura Hattori beat Shion Kanzaki.

Match 2: Toga beat Rika Tatsumi & Ren Konatsu in a 3-way by double countout.

Match 3: Mr. Mahi Rock (Mahiro Kiryu) won a 5-person battle royal, last eliminating John Shino (Shino Suzuki). Other participants: Shinsuke Wakanakamura (Wakana Uehara), Kira Ripley (Kira Summer), The Ashida Taker (Mifu Ashida). You can easily guess which WWE wrestlers they were spoofing.

Match 4: In a 1 Count Falls match where the winning team them had a chance to earn a point by correctly answering an elementary-school level trivia question, Miu Watanabe & Chika Nanase beat Arisu Endo & Haru Kazashiro 2-1.

Match 5: In an Indian Poker match, Hyper Misao beat Miyu Yamashita, Shoko Nakajima & Yuki Aino in a 4-way elimination match. Basically each player kept drawing cards that listed a move they could not do in addition to normal rules and last one left wins.

Main Event: In a Costume Change match where all wrestlers dressed up as someone else, Yuki Arai (as HIMAWARI), Mizuki (as Suzume), Yuki Kamifuku (as Raku) & Raku (as Yuki Aino) beat Suzume (as Mahiro Kiryu), Pom Harajuku (as Toga), HIMAWARI (as Mifu Ashida) & Uta Takami (as Mizuki). Arai beat HIMAWARI with a scorpion deathlock.

If you like comedy matches or the fun that comes with wrestlers dressing up as other wrestlers, this is a must-watch replay when it becomes available.

The next event is YES! WONDERLAND, the annual Golden Week blowout event that returns after not happening last year, Monday at Korakuen Hall. Live streaming on WRESTLE UNIVERSE and ABEMA will begin Sunday at 7:30 PM PT/10:30 PM ET.

New Japan 4/29/2026 Results

Today’s event was held at Saga Arena in Saga and can be watched on demand on New Japan World. You can also watch the first 2 matches FOR FREE on YouTube.

The announced paid attendance was 1058. They may not have all been paid as there was a free admission campaign for Saga residents.

Match 6: Zane Jay, Francesco Akira, Jake Lee & Callum Newman beat Robbie X, Taiji Ishimori, Yota Tsuji & Shingo Takagi. Newman pinned X after MADE IN JAPAN. Going the usual major title match build route where one steals the other’s finisher. Or both.

Main Event: In a Lumberjack Match, IWGP Junior Heavyweight Champion DOUKI beat Tiger Mask by ref stoppage (technical submission) to retain the title. V4 for DOUKI. Next up: The Best Of The Super Junior winner. And DOUKI declared he was withdrawing from the tournament too. Updates to follow later this week.

The next event is tomorrow at Grand Messe Kumamoto in Kumamoto. There will be no live or on demand broadcast.

Injury Report: From Rising To Falling

I like to sometimes joke about how All-Japan wrestler Rising Hayato should have maybe changed his name to Risen Hayato when he won the All-Japan World Junior Heavyweight Championship. Unfortunately he’s Falling Hayato for now due to an injury that occurred Sunday. Left leg. Out at least 1 week, to include the 5/5 Golden Week event. Changes have been announced for all events over this next week. It’s not yet known if he will be out longer.

More as it becomes available.

Injury Report: NOAH Rookie Sidelined

Pro Wrestling NOAH has just announced an injury change to upcoming events-rookie Hiroto Tsuruya apparently was injured over the last few days. Concussion, or at least a suspected one. Out indefinitely. Changes to Wednesday’s card have been made. It’s not yet known how long Tsuruya may be out but the promotion stated on social media in English that “His health and safety are our top priority.”

More as it becomes available.

Sumo-May 2026 Banzuke Announced (Updated)

The wait was a little longer this time but it’s finally over-the Japan Sumo Association has just announced the updated Banzuke (rankings) for the May 2026 Grand Sumo Tournament in Tokyo. Here are the full rankings for the top 2 tiers and other items of note:

Makuuchi (top tier):
Yokozuna-Hoshoryu, Onosato
Ozeki-Kirishima (March Tournament Champion), Kotozakura, Aonishiki
Sekiwake-Atamisuji, Kotoshoho
Komusubi-Wakatakakage, Takayasu
Maegashira 1-Fujinokawa, Takanosho
Maegashira 2-Yoshinofuji, Ichiyamamoto
Maegashira 3-Hiradoumi, Oho
Maegashira 4-Daieisho, Gonoyama
Maegashira 5-Wakamotoharu, Shodai
Maegashira 6-Churanoumi, Fujiseiun
Maegashira 7-Chiyoshoma, Asakoryu
Maegashira 8-Oshoma, Asahakuryu
Maegashira 9-Abi, Nishikifuji
Maegashira 10-Asanoyama, Hakunofuji
Maegashira 11-Ura, Kinbozan
Maegashira 12-Shishi, Tokihayate
Maegashira 13-Kotoeiho, Tamawashi
Maegashira 14-Mitakeumi, Roga
Maegashira 15-Tobizaru, Oshoumi
Maegashira 16-Wakanosho, Ryuden
Maegashira 17-Fujiryoga
Notes: With his March championship Kirishima was re-promoted to Ozeki making 3 at the second-highest rank for now, but Aonishiki is now in kadoban status after his first career losing record, meaning he must win 8+ matches or he will be demoted to Sekiwake. And it was revealed after the tournament Aonishiki actually was injured in March. Foot/toe. That cost him a chance at a 3rd straight championship and potential promotion to Yokozuna now and he must start over. Onosato is expected back for the tournament after having to withdraw in March for not only his first such absence (not counting the final day of January) but also his first career losing record, and equal to 0-15 at that. Sekiwake…wow. Atamifuji was expected to make his debut at that rank and will but…Kotoshoho?!? Did not see that coming! Takayasu was demoted only to Komusubi while Wakatakakage was promoted back up there to replace brother Wakamotoharu. Fujinokawa is now just short of Sanyaku with Yoshinofuji only going down one spot from March. At the bottom, Ryuden returns from Juryo after another tournament down while Wakanosho makes his top tier debut alongside him with Fujiryoga holding on to his top tier spot for a second chance despite a 7-8 debut. And he’ll also likely have a topknot for the first time too.
Finally, Tamawashi’s Iron Man records will keep going but he’s in the most danger of his top tier appearance streak ending than he has been in some time as he’s fallen to M13. This will be top tier appearance #100.

Juryo:
Juryo 1-Onokatsu, Daiseizan
Juryo 2-Sadanoumi, Takerufuji
Juryo 3-Dewanoryu (March Juryo Champion), Hatsuyama
Juryo 4-Kyokukaiyu, Asasuiryu
Juryo 5-Tomokaze, Kitanowaka
Juryo 6-Kazuma, Meisei
Juryo 7-Kagayaki, Toshinofuji
Juryo 8-Shonannoumi, Shirokuma
Juryo 9-Nishinoryu, Kayo
Juryo 10-Tohakuryu, Midorifuji
Juryo 11-Kazekeno, Nishikigi
Juryo 12-Hitoshi, Tamashoho
Juryo 13-Okaryu, Hakuyozan
Juryo 14-Tochitaikai, Enho
Note: The big stories are at the bottom of the ranks, specifically the return of Enho to Juryo after being demoted all the way down the rankings due to injury. This will mark his 30th career tournament in the top 2 tiers and that means he now will qualify for elder stock upon retirement, which he doesn’t plan on anytime soon. He barely made it at J14 but he made it nonetheless. Midorifuji took a big fall from the top tier after missing March due to heart failure, his status is uncertain but hopefully he will be good to go (the initial report in March was he would be out 1 month for treatment). Kazuma made a big move up in a much better second outing after a shaky debut while Takerufuji moves to the fringe of a top tier return. Sadanoumi’s near-miss dropped him only one spot to J2 so he’ll have another chance to get back along with Onokatsu who is down to J1. Okaryu is the only Shin-Juryo rikishi as the top prospect stablemate of Hoshoryu will make his second tier debut, giving Tatsunami Beya 3 rikishi in the top 2 tiers along with Hoshoryu and Meisei. Hakuyozan & Tochitaikai are the Sai-Juryo rikishi this tournament.

Lower tier notes: In the Makushita, March Champion Wakanofuji moved up to Ms3 for his third tournament so he is in position to get Kasugano Beya back into the top two tiers after missing out for the first time in a long time, while Ms1 will be Juryo demotion Fujitensei and Takakento, who may have missed out on a Juryo return with a final day March loss. Because of the timing of his retirement, Tsurugisho is ranked at Ms11 but obviously will not compete. The Sandanme remains at the “new normal” 80 ranks and 160 total wrestlers. The Jonidan slims down slightly to 102 ranks and 204 wrestlers while the Jonokuchi has 23 ranks & 45 wrestlers, with 18 scheduled debuts including top prospect Fuma Kawazoe, who will debut as his real last name of Kawazoe for Ajigawa Beya.

There are also 2 kaimei rikishi in the Makushita as the former Yoshii & Fukai have new shikona (ring names)-Yoshii is now Tokifudo and Fukai is now Asanoryu (following the general Takasago Beya practice of everyone being an Asa first).

The May Tournament is 5/10-5/24 at Ryogoku Kokugikan in Tokyo. All tickets are already sold out.

UPDATE: Nikkan Sports reports Midorifuji will be IN for the tournament. This comes from the wrestler himself, who added his heart failure was caused by excessive drinking & high blood pressure and is doing well with nedocations and diet. It also has been reported that, if he were forced to retire because of this, he does qualify for elder stock so hopefully a spot would be available for him.

All-Japan 4/26/2026 Results

All-Japan continued the Champions Carnival today in Niigata.

Today’s event was held at Sanjo City Welfare Hall in Niigata and can be watched on demand on AJPW.TV. There was no live broadcast but again they got the replay up earlier than scheduled.

The announced paid attendance was 728.

Match 1: Ryuki Honda, Hokuto Omori, Atsuki Aoyagi & Rising Hayato beat Shotaro Ashino, MUSASHI, Ryo Inoue & SHota Kofuji. Hayato pinned Kofuji after Sid Vicious.

Champions Carnival:
Match 2: Block B: Daisuke Sekimoto beat Xyon.
Match 3: Block A: Kengo Mashimo beat Rei Saito by ref stoppage.
Match 4: Match 5: Kuamarashi beat Go Shiozaki.

Match 5: Dan Tamura & Hideki Suzuki beat Seigo Tachibana & Hyo Ogawa (Independent/Freelancer). Tamura pinned Tachibana after a powerbomb.

Champions Carnival:
Match 6: Block A: Odyssey beat Yuma Anzai.
Match 7: Block B: Yuma Aoyagi beat Ren Ayabe.
Main Event: Block A: Talos beat Kento Miyahara.

Standings:
Block A:
1-Mashimo, 3-1, 6 pts
2-Rei Saito, 3-1, 6 pts
3-Odyssey, 3-1, 6 pts
4-Miyahara, 2-2-1, 5 pts
5-Talos, 2-2, 4 pts
6-Shiozaki, 2-3, 4 pts
7-Anzai, 1-2-1, 3 pts
8-Kumaarashi, 1-3, 2 pts

Block B:
1-Sekimoto, 4-1, 8 pts
2-Suzuki, 3-2-1, 7 pts
3-Madoka Kikuta, 3-0-1 NP (No Points), 6 pts
4-Honda, 3-2, 6 pts
5-Anzai, 2-2-1, 5 pts
6-Ayabe, 2-2, 4 pts
7-Xyon, 2-3-1 NP, 4 pts (OUT)
8-Jun Saito, 0-7, 0 pts (OUT-injured)

The top 2 in each block advance to the Semifinals. In Block A, Kumaarashi is now all but out as his only hope is to force a 3-way (or more) tiebreaker because he loses tiebreakers to Saito, Odyssey & Miyahata but has yet to face Mashimo. In Block B, Xyon is now officially out. Despite being at 4 points, Ayabe is still very much in it because he has 3 matches left. Sekimoto controls his destiny but still has Ayabe & Honda so he is not safe despite the lead.

The next event is Saturday (Friday night US time) at Southern Tohoku General Wholesale Center in Fukushima. There will be no live broadcast. On demand shortly after the event.

We are LIVE from Yokohama Arena in Yokohama, Japan. Your hosts are Haruo Murata & Makoto Oe.

The paid attendance may or may not be announced after the event. This will probably be their biggest crowd of the year as the venue’s capacity is roughly 18,000 but the setup is not for full capacity, probably for closer to 13,000. (UPDATE: As of 7 AM PT/10 AM ET the paid attendance has not been announced)
UPDATE 2: Per Tokyo Sports, the announced paid attendance was 8015. That was up from last year’s event but considered disappointing because they didn’t reach their goal of 10,000.

Match 8: Hanan beat Wonder Of Stardom Champion Konami to win the title. Hanan becomes the 26th Wonder Of Stardom Champion.

Main Event: Sayaka Kurara beat World Of Stardom Champion Saya Kamitani to win the title. Kurara becomes the 21st World Of Starsom Champion. Somehow I knew this was happening and I H.A.T.E. It that much more. This was weeks ago telegraphed when Taro Okada made it clear he just can’t let go of Tam Nakano a year after Kamitani forced her to retire months after forcing Nakano out of the promotion. Thus all of H.A.T.E lost today and Cosmic Angels is safe. Kurara is his next Nakano and now, instead of maybe subscribing to Stardom World again, I won’t be due to this.

The next event is Wednesday at Fujiyama Big Rose in Hiroshima. There will be no live broadcast.

It has also been revealed in post-event comments that Bea Priestley defected from Stars and has joined H.A.T.E., reuniting with former partner Konami.

UPDATE 2: It gets even worse. Likely first up for Kurara: Itoh. God save us all.

UPDATE 3: It’s now official. That match will happen on 5/23 at Toyoda Gosei Memorial Gym in Aichi, as will Hanan vs. Bea Priestley for the Wonder Of Stardom Championship.
