Pro Wrestling NOAH 11/8/25 Results (Updated)

Pro Wrestling NOAH ran this month’s STAR NAVIGATION 2025 event today in Tokyo, featuring the start of the NOAH Jr. Grand Prix, a single-elimination Junior Heavyweight tournament.

Today’s event was held at Korakuen Hall in Tokyo and can be watched on demand on WRESTLE UNIVERSE.

The announced paid attendance was 1560, a legit sellout with standing room overflow.

There was a late change to the card due to Tetsuya Endo being pulled off the event. Flu. He was to have been in a 3-way tag match. HAYATA was the replacement.

Match 1: Naomichi Marufuji, Kenoh & Jack Morris beat Kaito Kiyomiya, Harutoki & Mohammed Yone. Kenoh pinned Yone after Round Fist.

Match 2: Dragon Bane & Alpha Wolf beat Manabu Soya & Saxon Huxley and Ulka Sasaki & HAYATA in a 3-way when Wolf pinned HAYATA.

NOAH Jr. Grand Prix Round 1:
Match 3: Kai Fujimura beat Junta Miyawaki.
Match 4: Shuji Kondo beat Black Menso-re.
Match 5: Ninja Mack (Independent/Freelancer) beat Alejandro.
Match 6: Hiromu Takahashi (New Japan) beat Daiki Odashima.

Match 7: Hank Walker & Tank Ledger (WWE) beat GHC Heavyweight Tag Team Champions Masa Kitamiya & Takashi Sugiura to win the titles. Walker & Ledger become the 73rd GHC Heavyweight Tag Team Champions. Ledger pinned Sugiura after Collision Course. Next up: Potentially a rematch but to get it, Sugiura & Kitamiya must first beat Marufuji & KENTA in a determination match for the next title shot. That match will happen on 11/15 at Osaka Prefectural Gym 2 in Osaka.

Main Event: Yoshiki Inamura beat GHC Heavyweight Champion KENTA to win the title. Inamura becomes the 49th GHC Heavyweight Champion. Third time’s the charm. After a first failed attempt as a young prospect, a second failed attempt after an excursion and brief name change to YOICHI, an excursion to WWE and now returning as a cowboy of sorts, he finally breaks through and wins the big one. Next up: The true obligatory rite of passage…Kiyomiya. That match will happen on 11/21 at Sendai Sun Plaza in Sendai.

The next event is tomorrow at Espoir Isanuma in Saitama. There will be no live broadcast. On demand Wednesday.

In other news, a new title match has been added to 1/1 at Nippon Budokan-GHC National Champion Dragon Bane vs. Alpha Wolf for the title.

UPDATE: Kiyomiya also announced that 3 new wrestlers-Midori Takahashi, Hiroto Tsuruyа and Yuto Koyanagi-are schedsuled to debut on 12/7.

New Japan 11/8/25 Results (Updated)

New Japan ran their annual Anjo event today despite certain wrestlers this was a hometown event for being gone from the promotion.

Today’s event was held at Tosho Arena Anjo in Aichi 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 1483.

There were last-minute changes to the card due to Kosei Fujita being pulled off the event. The always vague poor health.

Match 1: Katsuya Murashima beat Tatsuya Matsumoto.

Match 2: Masatora Yasida & Taichi beat Zane Jay & Shoma Kato. Taichi pinned Jay after Dangerous Backdrop.

Match 2: Jacob Austin Young, Callum Newman & Great-O-Khan beat Tiger Mask, Tomoaki Honma & Boltin Oleg. Newman pinned Honma after Fireball.

Match 4: Gedo, Taiji Ishimori & Shingo Takagi beat Sho, DOUKI & Yujiro Takahashi. Ishimori pinned Sho after Bloody Cross.

Match 5: Ryusuke Taguchi, Shota Umino & Yuya Uemura beat Daiki Nagai, OSKAR (The Grouch) & Yota Tsuji. Uemuta beat Nagai with a chicken wing.

Match 6: El Desperado, YOSHI-HASHI & Hirooki Goto beat Hartley Jackson, Ryohei Oiwa & Zack Sabre Jr. Goto pinned Jackson after Shoto.

Match 7: NEVER 6-Man Tag Team Champions Master Wato, Yoh & Toru Yano beat Dick Togo, Yoshinobu Kanemaru & EVIL to retain the titles. Wato beat Togo with Vendeval. V2 for the champs.

Main Event: Hiroshi Tanahashi beat Yuto Ice (Ice Baby). Afterwards, the opponent for Tanahashi’s retirement match at Tokyo Dome was revealed…RAINMAKER!!! Back in his hometown today, it’s Kauzchika Okada! (There were a lot of online rumors on US news sites that it was probably going to be Shinsuke Nakamura. But there was less than zero chance of that happening just because Nakamura currently is in WWE and New Japan has a working partnership with WWE rival All Elite Wrestling, where Okada is. WWE has a working partnership with Pro Wrestling NOAH. So I knew it was all but going to be Okada because of that)

The next event is “Superhuman Taiji Ishimori Is Reckless Once Again” Wednesday at Shinjuku Face in Tokyo. Live streaming on New Japan World as a PPV will begin at 1:40 AM PT/4:40 AM ET. The PPV is available for pre-order for $21.99 US.

UPDATE: Following up on the Okada appearance, Tanahashi will hold a Tokyo Dome press conference at midnight PT/3 AM ET tonight. You will be able to watch it live and on demand FOR FREE on New Japan World and presumably YouTube.

Injury Report: The Mighty Don’t Kosei

It must be that time of the year again as many wrestlers are at least briefly being sidelined in Japan. now New Japan has announced Kosei Fujita is a last-minute removal from tomorrow’s event. The always vague poor health. He was to have teamed with Zack Sabre Jr, Ryohei Oiwa (birthday boy) & Hartlry Jackson to face Hirooki Goto, YOSHI-HASHI, Taichi & El Desperado. Taichi is now out of the match too and instead will team with Masatora Yasuda to face Zane Jay & Shoma Kato. Tatsuya Matsumoto & Katsuya Murashima are now out of that tag match as a result and will now face each other in a single match. With the next event either 4 or 9 days away I doubt Fujita will miss any more events after this.

Injury Report: Not Vague Poor Health

Calling wrestlers out due to “poor health”, which is always vague, has happened a lot in Japan the last few months but sometimes we do get more details as to why, such as when Pro Wrestling NOAH announced earlier today that Tetsuya Endo is now temporarily sidelined. Flu. Out Saturday. He was to have teamed with Ulka Sasaki to face Dragon Bane & Alpha Wolf and Manabu Soya & Saxon Huxley in a 3-way. HAYATA is the replacement. It’s not yet known how long Endo may be out, I’d say he probably will be out Sunday (match card TBA outside of Jr. Heavyweight tournament matches) and then questionable for an Osaka doubleheader next week. Beyond that would be worst-case but flu is usually 1-2 weeks unless it’s severe so I expect him back in time for CROSS OVER 2025 on 11/21 in Sendai, the next big event on the schedule.

More as it becomes available.

Dragon Gate 11/6/25 Results

Dragon Gate kicked off the 2025 KING OF GATE Tournament, the promotion’s top annual singles tournament, today in Tokyo.

Today’s event was held at Korakuen Hall in Tokyo and can be watched on demand on DRAGONGATE NETWORK.

The paid attendance has not yet been announced.

Match 1: Kota Minoura, Jason Lee, KAI & Yoshiki Kato beat Dragon Dia, Ryu Fuda, Daiki Yanagiuchi & Kazuma Kimura. Kato pinned Yanagiuchi after Cadere Luna.

Match 2: Masaaki Mochizuki beat Jiro Shinbashi.

Match 3: Gianni Valetta & El Cielo beat Punch Tominaga & El Cucuy. Valetta pinned Tominaga after a King Kong kneedrop.

Match 4: Ultimo Dragon, Takashi & Churaumi Saver beat Strong Machine J, Kzy & U-T. Saver pinned U-T after a firebird splash.

KING OF GATE Round 1:
Match 5: ISHIN beat Luis Mante.
Match 6: Shun Skywalker beat Naruki Doi.

Match 7: Hyo, Ben-K, JACKY KAMEI, Riiita & Mochizuki Junior beat YAMATO, KAGETORA, Dragon Kid, BxB Hulk & Susumu Yokosuka. Hyo pinned YAMATO after Samson Driver.

KING OF GATE Round 1:
Match 8: Ryoya Tanaka beat Homare.
Main Event: Yuki Yoshioka beat Madoka Kikuta. So with the Open The Dream Gate Champion out early (of course), that pretty much guarantees a title shot for the eventual winner.

As a result of today, ISHIN will face the El Cucuy-Ryu Fuda winner, Yoshioka will face the Takashi-U-T winner, Skywalker will face the Mochizuki-Minoura winner and Tanaka will face the Hyo-YAMATO winner in Round 2.

The next event is Saturday at Kobe Art Center in Kobe. Live streaming on DRAGONGATE NETWORK will begin at 1 AM PT/4 AM ET. Unfortunately this is the last scheduled live or on demand broadcast for the tournament until the Finals.

New Japan News: World Tag League Field, Next Nagata Event

Some more New Japan news:

The field for the upcoming World Tag League has been announced. This year it’s a 16-team field in 2 blocks of 8, the usual round-robin prelim format. The entered teams are as follows:
Block A: Hirooki Goto & YOSHI-HASHI, Taichi & Satoshi Kojima, Toru Yano & Boltin Oleg, El Desperado & Shuji Ishikawa (Independent/Freelancer), Yota Tsuji & Gabriel Kidd, Shingo Takagi & Drilla Moloney, EVIL & Don Fale, Yujiro Takahashi & Chase Owens
Block B: Hiroshi Tanahashi & El Phantasmo, Shota Umino & Yuya Uemura, David Finlay & Hiromu Takahashi, OSKAR (The Grouch) & Yuto Ice (Ice Baby), Zack Sabre Jr. & Ryohei Oiwa, Callum Newman & Great-O-Khan, Ren Narita & SANADA, Lance Archer & Alex Zayne.
Last year’s tournament was won by Hiromu Takahashi & Tetsuya Naito, sparing us from the despair of Bishamon 5-peat talks. Kojima is essentially an injury replacement for Tomohiro Ishii, who is out indefinitely due to a shoulder injury suffered a couple weeks ago in the US in All Elite Wrestling.

Elsewhere, the next Yuji Nagata Produced event has been announced. BLUE JUSTICE 17 will mark the promotion’s next visit to Chiba and will be held on 1/18 at Sakura Civic Gym. Advance tickets go on sale this weekend for fan club members and 11/23 for the public.

Injury Report: Stonewalled

Apparently being a Stone Pitbull and the toughest two dollar steak doesn’t make you impervious to injury. Neither does All Elite Wrestling. New Japan has announced that, in part due to that, Tomohiro Ishii is headed to the sidelines. Dislocated right shoulder suffered on 10/22 in AEW. Out indefinitely. It’s not yet known how long he will be out but given he’s not in the World Tag League it may be most of the rest of the year.

More as it becomes available.

The next event is tomorrow at Sayama City Citizen Exchange Center in Saitama. It’s billed as a house show which probably means no live or on demand broadcast.

Injury Report: Izuchi apparently took enough physical punishment on the MMA fight to send him to the sidelined to recover. Out at least 2 weeks. Further decisions on his status will be made after the 11/16 event.
