Sumo-July 2026 Banzuke Announced

With France done and an even month about over, it’s that time again-the Japan Sumo Association has announced the updated Banzuke (rankings) for the July 2026 Grand Sumo Tournament. Here are the full rankings for the top 2 tiers and other notes:

Makuuchi (top tier):
Yokozuna-Hoshoryu, Onosato
Ozeki-Kirishima, Kotozakura
Sekiwake-Atamifuji, Kotoshoho, Wakatakakage (May Tournament Champion), Aonishiki
Komusubi-Yoshinofuji, Oho
Maegashira 1-Fujinokawa, Takanosho
Maegashira 2-Gonoyama, Churanoumi
Maegashira 3-Hiradoumi, Hakunofuji
Maegashira 4-Daieisho, Ichiyamamoto
Maegashira 5-Ura, Oshoma
Maegashira 6-Shodai, Fujiseiun
Maegashira 7-Kotoeiho, Takayasu
Maegashira 8-Wakamotoharu, Roga
Maegashira 9-Fujiryoga, Tobizaru
Maegashira 10-Asanoyama, Chiyoshoma
Maegashira 11-Wakanosho, Mitakeumi
Maegashira 12-Asahakuryu, Abi
Maegashira 13-Nishikifuji, Takerufuji
Maegashira 14-Kinbozan, Shishi
Maegashira 15-Onokatsu, Kazuma (May Juryo Champion)
Maegashira 16-Daiseizan, Asakoryu
Notes: Both Yokozuna will hopefully be at full strength after being active in Paris and Onosato said he is “Definitely In” for July after sitting out May due to a shoulder injury. At Ozeki, Kirishima is on Yokozuna Watch meaning a championship or another playoff appearance, ideally with at least 12 wins, would give him a chance at promotion while Kotozakura is on kadoban status and must win at least 8 matches to avoid demotion. 4 Sekiwake results from Aonishiki being demoted from Ozeki due to missing May, with a chance at quick re-promotion if he wins at least 10 matches, and Wakatakakage moving up from Komusubi after his second Emperor’s Cup in May. That allows Yoshinofuji to make his Sanyaku debut at Komusubi alongside the returning Oho. 2 debuts highlight the bottom as Kazuma is promoted up for the first time after winning the Juryo championship, making 4 Kise men in the top tier, and Daiseizan finally gets up to the top tier as well. Takerufuji also returns to the top tier after a while down due to injury, slotting alongside stablemate Nishikifuji at M13 to keep Aomori’s Iron Man streak going. But what’s missing takes us to…

Juryo:
Juryo 1-Asasuiryu, Kyokukaiyu
Juryo 2-Tokihayate, Sadanoumi
Juryo 3-Ryuden, Dewanoryu
Juryo 4-Tomokaze, Toshinofuji
Juryo 5-Kitanowaka, Oshoumi
Juryo 6-Shonannoumi, Kazekeno
Juryo 7-Tamawashi, Meisei
Juryo 8-Midorifuji, Hatsuyama
Juryo 9-Shirokuma, Nishinoryu
Juryo 10-Hitoshi, Tamashoho
Juryo 11-Kagayaki, Enho
Juryo 12-Tohakuryu, Kayo
Juryo 13-Arashifuji, Hakuyozan
Juryo 14-Toachitaikai, Nishikigi
Notes: …J7?!? I figured Tamawashi would be demoted after a 2-13 May, but all the way down to J7? Much bigger drop than I expected. But The Iron Man has no intent of retiring so his streak will keep going even though his top tier one ended. Asasuiryu slots in at J1 after possibly missing the top tier by a win alongside Kyokukaiyu, looking to be the first Oshima man to get back to the top in some time. Despite only finishing 8-7 after a 7-1 start Enho moved up a little more than expected to J11 while the only Shin-Juryo this time, Arashifuji, slots in at J13. No Sai-Juryo which allowed Nishikigi to hang on to Juryo and salary one more time.

Lower tier notes: May Makushita Champion Ikarigata didn’t make as big a move up as usual for a champion, in part due to a 6-1 championship, only going from Ms20 to Ms7. The big story of course is unbeaten Arashifuji, who after 3 championships in 3 career tournaments zooms up to Ms11. That gives him a chance at Juryo in September if he wins the championship. Last time’s Juryo debutant Okaryu took a hard fall after a 3-12 debut, falling to Ms8. The man who Asahifuji beat the last 2 tournaments in championship playoffs, Kiryuko, continues his rapid climb back up to Juryo as he moves way up to Ms53. The Sandanme is at the now-usual 80 ranks with 160 wrestlers. The Jonidan has shrunk down to 99 ranks and 198 wrestlers, while the Jonokuchi has 20 ranks with 40 wrestlers.

The July Tournament is July 12-26 at IG Arena in Nagoya, the second year it is being held at the new venue that replaced Aichi Prefectural Gym. All tickets are sold out for all days.

DDT Pro Wrestling 6/28/2026 LIVE Results

DDT finishes up their June schedule today with the monthly signature Tokyo event. The main event will be a KO-D Openweight Championship match as Yuki Ueno looks to keep his reign going towards his upcoming 10th Anniversary event, today defending against former champion Shinya Aoki. The rest of the card is highlighted by what may be the first-ever No Referee Match between Sanshiro Takagi & MAO. So how will a winner be decided, you ask? By the fans. The fans will act as referees and a majority will be required to count a pinfall to win. No DQ’s no countouts, no submissions, but if the majority can’t decide? Well…Pro Wrestling, Everybody!

Today’s event will be held at Korakuen Hall in Tokyo and can be watched LIVE on WRESTLE UNIVERSE in Japanese. Comedian Yui Yoshida will be a special guest on commentary. There is a pre-show match planned before the event begins, so taking that and time limits into account this will be on the slightly longer end of a normal Korakuen event with a running time or probably just under 3 hours.

Today’s lineup:
Pre-show:
Junta Miyawaki & Viente Maligno vs. Akito & Miles Karu

Main show:
Takao Soma & Naomi Yoshimura vs. Yukio Naya & Yuki Ishida
Minoru Suzuki, Danshoku Dieno & Kazuki Hirata vs. Jun Akiyama, Rukiya & Masami Inahata

Chris Brookes, HARASHIMA, Antonio Honda & Hinata Kasai vs. Daisuke Sasaki, MJ Paul, Hideki Okatani & Illusion
KO-D Openweight Champion Yuki Ueno vs. Shinya Aoki for the title

Refresh this page occasionally for the latest results.

*Assuming nothing changes beforehand, Katsumata will be coming into this match as the DDT Iron Man Heavymetalweight Champion. If that is the case, if Katsumata is the one beaten whoever beats him, or anyone else who may manage to do so, will win the title. Which could even be KIMIHIRO or YUZUKI. Or anyone else.

7:09 PM PT UPDATE: Live updates begin now.

We are LIVE from Korakuen Hall in Tokyo, Japan. Your hosts are Haruo Murata & Kagehiro Osano.

Result: Yukio Naya & Yuki Ishida beat Takao Soma & Naomi Yoshimura. Naya pinned Soma after The World’s Largest Backdrop.

Your new host (for now) is Satoshi Dairaku.

Match 2: Minoru Suzuki, Danshoku Dieno & Kazuki Hirata vs. Jun Akiyama, Rukiya & Masami Inahata. 15 minute time limit
Result: Jun Akiyama, Rukiya & Masami Inahata beat Kazuki Hirata in 8 seconds. Hirata didn’t even wait for the others. Akiyama pinned Hirata after a lariat. GM Imabayashi immediately with microphone EN FUEGO. We know where this is going. Imabayashi somehow restraining Hirata from going after the others again. Lots of comedy between them. Which lewd to…
Match 2 (again): Minoru Suzuki, Danshoku Dieno & Kazuki Hirata vs. Jun Akiyama, Rukiya & Masami Inahata. 15 minute time limit
Result: Jun Akiyama, Rukiya & Masami Inahata beat Kazuki Hirata in a few seconds (again). Akiyama pinned Hirata (again). While Dieno came out…
Result: Jun Akiyama, Rukiya & Masami Inahata beat Kazuki Hirata (again). Inahata beat Hirata with a Boston Crab. Which led to…
Match 2 (yet again): Minoru Suzuki, Danshoku Dieno & Kazuki Hirata vs. Jun Akiyama, Rukiya & Masami Inahata. 15 minute time limit
Result: Jun Akiyama, Rukiya & Masami Inahata beat Minoru Suzuki, Danshoku Dieno & Kazuki Hirata. Rukiya beat Hirata with a camel clutch.

Quick break for the opening announcements. A surprise development during these as GM Imabayashi brings out Dragon Gate wrestler YAMATO. It’s related to WRESTLE PETER PAN, DDT’s annual biggest event of the year, in August at Ryogoku Kokugikan. And we might have a clue what the deal is when Dieno comes out. And just like that, it’s now official. Danshoku Dieno vs. YAMATO.

Match 3: KANON & Yuki Iino vs. Shunma Katsumata & To-y. 30 minute time limit
Result: KANON & Yuki Iino beat Shunma Katsumata & To-y. Iino pinned To-y after a lariat. Iino wore a watch cap to conceal his odd mostly bald hairstyle for appearances in Pro Wrestling NOAH (which is starting to grow back). Which led to…
KIMIHIRO beat DDT Iron Man Heavymetalweight Champion Shunma Katsumata to win the title. KIMIHIRO becomes the 1836th champion. In an apparent rap-off or somethign not involving wrestling. Surprisingly none of SLC tried to take it away.

Match 4: Takeshi Masada, Yuya Koroku & Daichi Sato vs. Kazuma Sumi, Yuni & O-MENZ Kumadori. 30 minute time limit
Result: Takeshi Masada, Yuya Koroku & Daichi Sato beat Kazuma Sumi, Yuni & O-MENZ Kumadori. Sato pinned Yuni after a rolling elbow strike. Afterawrds, Sumi with microphone. He talked about apparently defending the DDT Universal Championship elsewhere when the lights went out…when they came back on, New Japan Pro Wrestling’s Eyusuke Taguchi was in the ring as was Akito. As the assistant GM, Akito makes it official. Title match at WRESTLE PETER PAN. The Funky Weapon Formerly Known As Dropkick Master is actually a perfect fit for DDT.

Your host once again is Haruo Murata.

Match 5: MAO vs. Sanshiro Takagi in a No Referee Match. No DQs, no countouts, win by pinfall with a majority of the fans making the 3 count. 30 minute time limit. Before the match, GM Imabayashi has Yuki Ishida & Hinata Kasai do a demonstration so the crowd can practice
Result: MAO beat Sanshiro Takagi

Match 6: Chris Brookes, HARASHIMA, Antonio Honda & Hinata Kasai vs. Daisuke Sasaki, MJ Paul, Hideki Okatani & Illusion. 30 minute time limit
Result: Daisuke Sasaki, MJ Paul, Hideki Okatani & Illusion beat Chris Brookes, HARASHIMA, Antonio Honda & Hinata Kasai. Sasaki beat Kasai with a crossface. Afterwards, Sasaki reveals his mystery partner for a tag match against Honda and TBA at WRESTLE PETER PAN…he too went to New Japan to get his partner. DOUKI.

Main Event: KO-D Openweight Champion Yuki Ueno vs. Shinya Aoki for the title. 1 Hour time limit
Result: KO-D Openweight Champion Yuki Ueno beat Shinya Aoki by submission to retain the title. V8 for Ueno. Afterwards, GM Imabayashi with microphone. Next up: TBA. It’ll be at WRESTLE PETER PAN. But Ueno called out MAO. Sounds like we’re about to have our main event for that event. After the promos, back to Imabayashi…and it’s now official. Which means, regardless, it’s going to end with The37Kamiina still on top and thus a Heave Wave WER!!

The next event is CHARISMANIA 4, the next Daisuke Sasaki Produced event, Thursday at Shinjuku Face. Live streaming on WRESTLE UNIVERSE will begin at 3 AM PT/6 AM ET.

BREAKING: Obituary-Joe Doering Dies (Updated)

Some sad news just coming out to pass along-Joe Doering, who competed in All-Japan in the 2010s and was a 2-time Triple Crown Champion, has died after a valiant battle with brain cancer. He was only 44. The announcement came from Maple Leaf Pro Wrestling and its owner, former TNA Wrestling President Scott D’Amore. Doering had reportedly just entered hospice care earlier this week.

A giant by Japanese wrestling standards at 6’8”, 275 lbs, Doering became the 50th All-Japan Triple Crown Champion in 2014, making 3 successful defenses in his first reign that lasted just over 5 months. He would win the Triple Crown back in October 2017 and become the 59th Champion, again making 3 successful defenses in a reign that lasted 5 months. He was first diagnosed with brain cancer in 2016 and made his final in-ring appearance in 2022 for TNA.

He definitely was one of the most successful big man foreigners in Japan this century and was loved by the Japanese fans as well. I join the wrestling world in sending deepest condolences on the loss of another brother, taken from us way too soon.

RIP and GOD BLESS, Joe.

UPDATE: All-Japan has now posted a statement on their official website:

Tokyo Joshi Pro Wrestling 6/27/2026 LIVE Results

Tokyo Joshi Pro wraps up the spring house show tour today in Tokyo, even though it’s technically summer. That’s the plan, but the Tentative is there because plans are subject to change last-minute due to weather. Japan is being impacted by typhoons (hurricanes to us Americans) and conditions are being monitored. As of this post the event is on unless one of the following happens: The JR Ryogoku train station is closed, authorities issue advisories not to travel, or the venue closes. So it’s wait and see.

Today’s event, if it goes on as planned, will be held at Ryogoku KFC Hall in Tokyo and can be watched LIVE on WRESTLE UNIVERSE. There will be no commentary. There are 6 matches planned so the event would be a standard house show with a running time of around 2 hours.

Today’s lineup (match order TBA):
Arisu Endo & Shion Kanzaki vs. Toga & Uta Takami
Yuki Aino & Haru Kazashiro vs. HIMAWARI & Kira Summer
Raku & Pom Harajuku vs. Mifu Ashida & Mahiro Kiryu
Yuki Kamifuku & Sakura Hattori vs. Chika Nanase & YuuRI
Mizuki vs. Ren Konatsu
Yuki Arai, Suzume, Miu Watanabe & Rika Tatsumi vs. Miyu Yamashita, Wakana Uehara, Shoko Nakajima & Hyper Misao

Updates below, if the event goes on as planned, will begin at 8:30 PM PT/11:30 PM ET. Updates to come on the status of today’s event as it gets closer.

Pre-show Update: As of 5 PM PT/8 PM ET the event is still ON.

Pre-Show Update 2 (7:15 PM PT): The event is now officially ON. The live stream, and updates below, will begin at 8:20 PM PT/11:20 PM ET.

8:20 PM PT UPDATE: The live stream has begun. We should be going to the venue in 10 minutes.

8:28 PM PT UPDATE: Live updates begin now.

We are LIVE from Ryogoku KFC Hall in Tokyo, Japan. There is no commentary.

The paid attendance will be announced after the event. It’s hard to know how much potential weather will affect the crowd today, initially it looks and sounds like average for the venue so I’ll guess it’ll be around 250. (UPDATE: The announced paid attendance was 347, a super full house/very near sellout. Whether they all showed up or not is debatable)

The matches should begin in 10-15 minutes.

During opening announcements they bring Momo Sato out. The former idol-turned-wrestler and younger sister of DDT wrestler Daichi Sato will make her TJPW debut at SUMMER SUN PRINCESS ’26.

The matches begin at 8:41 PM PT/11:41 PM ET.

Match 1: Yuki Aino & Haru Kazashiro vs. HIMAWARI & Kira Summer. 20 minute time limit
Result: Yuki Aino & Haru Kazashiro beat HIMAWARI & Kira Summer. Aino pinned Summer after Venus DDT.

Result: Mizuki beat Ren Konatsu

Main Event: Yuki Arai, Suzume, Miu Watanabe & Rika Tatsumi vs. Miyu Yamashita, Wakana Uehara, Shoko Nakajima & Hyper Misao. 20 minute time limit
Result: Miyu Yamashita, Wakana Uehara, Shoko Nakajima & Hyper Misao beat Yuki Arai, Suzume, Miu Watanabe & Rika Tatsumi. Nakajima pinned Tatsumi after a huracanrana. Shocked that it didn’t go the distance. Almost did though.

The next event is 7/4 at Shin-Kiba 1st Ring. Live streaming on WRESTLE UNIVERSE will begin on 7/3 at 7:30 PM PT/10:30 PM ET.

In other news, the format for the Tokyo Princess Cup Tournament was announced before the event. As usual, it will be a single-elimination bracket format event, this year with 24 entrants. That means perhaps the entire roster except Shino Suzuki (inactive) and perhaps Momo Sato (about to debut) with an outsider or two so maybe expect Ryo Mizunami participation. 8 will get a free pass to Round 2 with the rest facing off in Round 1 matches. After the Quarterfinals they will re-draw pairings for the Semifinals.
