Sumo-November 2025 Grand Sumo Tournament Day 14 Results (11/22/25) (Top 2 Tiers)

Here are the quick results from today’s Day 14-the penultimate day-of the November 2025 Grand Sumo Tournament in Fukuoka:
Key: M-Maegashira, K-Komusubi, S-Sekiwake, O-Ozeki, Y-Yokozuna, J-Juryo

Makuuchi (top tier):
Fujinokawa (M12) beat Asakoryu (M17)
Tomokaze (M12) beat Meisei (M18)
Gonoyama (M13) beat Shishi (M11)
Chiyoshoma (M17) beat Roga (M11)
Daieisho (M10) beat Nishikifuji (M15)
Mitakeumi (M13) beat Kotoshoho (M10)
Kinbozan (M6) beat Shonannoumi (M15)
Ryuden (M14) beat Abi (M7)
Onokatsu (M6) beat Sadanoumi (M16)
Ichiyamamoto (M8) beat Yoshinofuji (M5)
Oshoumi (M16) beat Hiradoumi (M3)
Ura (M3) beat Tobizaru (M9)
Kirishima (M2) beat Tokihayate (M14)
Wakamotoharu (M2) beat Midorifuji (M9)
Hakuoho (M1) beat Tamawashi (M4)
Churanoumi (M7) beat Wakatakakage (M1)
Takanosho (K) beat Oshoma (M4)
Takayasu (K) beat Atamifuji (M6)
Oho (S) beat Shodai (M5)
Kotozakura (O) beat Onosato (Y)
Aonishiki (S) beat Hoshoryu (Y)
Leader: Onosato, Hoshoryu, Aonishiki (11-3)
Of note: The championship scenarios tomorrow are simple-if Aonishiki beats Kotozakura, there will be a playoff against the Onosato-Hoshoryu winner. If Aonishiki loses, the Yokozuna Showdown tomorrow is for the championship. Kotozakura protected his Ozeki rank again with an 8th win today but continues a disappointing year where he has mainly started good but really slumped in the second week, but this time there may have been some injury concerns coming in and even brief rumblings he might sit out.
Ozeki Watch-Aonishiki has his 11 wins so that streak remains intact. If he wins the championship tomorrow, there is a chance of promotion. If he doesn’t, he’s looking at needing 10 or 11 wins in January. 10 if he wins tomorrow, 11 if he loses.

Juryo:
Nishinoryu (J9) beat Tsurugisho (J11)
Takerufuji (J7) beat Asasuiryu (J12)
Himukamaru (J13) beat Kotokuzan (J6)
Tohakuryu (J10) beat Nishikigi (J6)
Harsuyama (J5) beat Hakuyozan (J10)
Tochitaikai (J5) beat Hidenoumi (J9)
Kitanowaka (J12) beat Kagayaki (J4)
Asanoyama (J4) beat Fujiryoga (J13)
Tamashoho (J11) beat Daiseizen (J3)
Kotoeiho (J2) beat Wakanosho (J14)
Asahakuryu (J2) beat Shirokuma (J7)
Kayo (J8) beat Hitoshi (J1)
Fujiseiun (J1) beat Kazekeno (J8)
Leader: Fujiryoga (12-2)
Of note: Despite the loss today, Fujiryoga still controls his destiny. If he wins tomorrow or Asanoyama loses, he is the champion. If Fujiryoga loses and Asanoyama wins, there will be a playoff rematch. The only thing Fujiryoga probably lost today was any real chance at promotion to the top tier in January. 13-2 and a title probably means J1. 12-3 should mean J2 or J3 with a championship, maybe J4 without. With this win, I feel confident saying Asanoyama will be promoted back to the top tier in January between 11-3 so far at J4 and pending demotions ahead of him (and those not being promoted-Hitoshi will be major demoted, stablemate Asahakuryu will be promoted, Daiseizan needs to win tomorrow otherwise it’s a toss-up but with 9 wins at J3 I lean towards no, Kotoeiho will go back up with a win tomorrow but toss-up if he loses, Fujiseiun clinched promotion today).

Lower tier notes: No match for Enho today as expected, His final match will be tomorrow, he has already clinched promotion at 4-2 and will stay in Makushita in January, but 5-2 can mean a bigger move up and a better chance at Juryo promotion in March.

Reminder: NHK World Japan will have 90 minutes of LIVE top tier coverage of the Final Day FOR FREE, including the championship matches, playoff if necessary, awards ceremony and champion’s interview, beginning TONIGHT at 11:30 PM PT/2:30 AM ET. All top tier matches will be streamed LIVE on NHK World Premium beginning at 11 PM PT/2 AM ET (it is available in the US on participating cable/satellite providers or by subscribing to Jme TV, which currently has a discount promotion on paid subscriptions or you may be able to get a 5 day free trial without the promos). I will be trying to do LIVE results of the top 2 tiers, including Juryo, beginning at 8 PM PT/11 PM ET. Depending on the order of matches, this may include the Jonidan playoff.

Tokyo Joshi Pro Wrestling 11/22/25 Results

Tokyo Joshi Pro ran a Uta Takami hometown event today in Ishikawa for the first time today in her young career.

Today’s event was held at Kanazawa Distribution Hall in Ishikawa and will be available on demand on WRESTLE UNIVERSE Tuesday. There was no live broadcast. I hoped to do near-live results earlier but results were not provided.

The announced paid attendance was 256, a full house/near sellout.

Match 1: Shino Suzuki beat Ren Konatsu by submission.

Match 2: Suzume beat Mifu Ashida.

Match 3: Rika Tatsumi, Raku & Pom Harajuku beat Hyper Misao, DDT Iron Man Heavymetalweight Champion Mahiro Kiryu & Kaya Toribami, with Tatsumi beating Kiryu to win the title. Tatsumi becomes the 1786th Champion.

Match 4: Yuki Arai beat Kira Summer.

Match 5: Yuki Kamifuku & Wakana Uehara beat Yuki Aino & Chika Nanase. Uehara pinned Nanase after Sushi Tornado.

Match 6: Mizuki & Toga beat Arisu Endo & Haru Kazashiro. Mizuki pinned Kazashiro with Cutie Special.

Main Event: Shoko Nkajima & HIMAWARI beat Miu Watanabe & Uta Takami. Nakajima pinned Takami with a Northern Lights suplex hold. So much for the hometown girl getting the main event win as tends to be the case.

The next event is a doubleheader Monday (tomorrow night US time) at Itabashi Green Hall in Tokyo. There will be no live broadcasts. On demand Thursday for the first event and Friday for the second event.

In other news, the promotion announced the next challenger for the MLW Women’s Featherweight Championship held by Nakajima will be Alexis Lee. That match will happen on 12/13 in Bangkok, Thailand. Also announced for that event is IWA Japan SETUP World Tag Team Champions Miyu Yamashita & Kaya Toribami vs. Raku & Pom Harajuku for the titles.

All-Japan Pro Wrestling 11/22/25 LIVE Results

All-Japan kicks off the 2025 World’s Strongest Tag League aka Real World Tag League today in Tokyo, the promotion’s annual year-end openweight tag team tournament. It’s going to look a lot different this year as the Saitos are not taking part as Jun Saito opted to voluntarily withdraw and not participate because brother & partner Rei Saito remains out long-term due to injury. That also means it’s more wide open. Most of the field for the round-robin format tournament will be in tournament action today including current All-Japan World Tag Team Champions Xyon & Odyssey, who will eventually defend the titles against the tournament winners if they do not win. Also a notable main event will see the Aoyagi brothers on opposite sides as Yuma Aoyagi teams with Yuma Anzai against Atsuki Aoyagi & Rising Hayato.

Today’s event will be held at Korakuen Hall in Tokyo and can be watched LIVE on AJPW.TV in Japanese. The event will also be taped for broadcast on GAORA SPORTS in Japan in about a week. All the matches including a non-tournament match have a 30 minute time limit and there’s an intermission at the halfway point so it probably will wind up having an “average” Korakuen running time of about 2 1/2 hours (although the GAORD broadcast is scheduled for 3+ hours, that would also assume every match goes the distance and the longest possible time of about 3 1/2 hours).

Today’s lineup:
Tag League:
Block B: Xyon & Odyssey vs. Takashi & Kuroshio TOKYO Japan
Block A: Shotaro Ashino & Go Shiozaki vs. Hokuto Omori & Kumaarashi
Jun Saito, MUSASHI & Seiki Yoshioka vs. Dan Tamura, Ryo Inoue & Shota Kofuji
Intermission
Tag League:
Block A: Hideki Suzuki & Kengo Mashimo vs. Ren Ayabe & Talos
Block B: Kento Miyahara & Davey Boy Smith Jr. vs. Ryuki Honda & Naoya Nomura
Block B: Yuma Aoyagi & Yuma Anzai vs. Atsuki Aoyagi & Rising Hayato

Refresh this page occasionally for the latest results.

Updates below will begin at 6:30 PM PT/9:30 PM ET. The live stream is scheduled to begin 10 minutes before the event.

6:20 PM PT UPDATE: The live stream has begun. We should be going to the venue in just under 10 minutes.

6:25 PM PT UPDATE: Live updates begin now.

We are LIVE from Korakuen Hall in Tokyo, Japan. Commentary will begin in a few minutes.

The paid attendance will be announced after the event. It’s just under the “new normal” full capacity setup as commentary is in the bleacher seats opposite hard camera. While not an advance sellout from what I know the crowd already looks good, I’ll predict a potential near-sellout of around 1200. (UPDATE: The announced paid attendance was 1327)

The matches should begin in 10-15 minutes. During opening announcements they bring out Rei Saito after announcing he will be a guest on commentary today for AJPW.TV.

The event begins with the tag league opening ceremony, where all the participating teams are introduced in the ring.

As it was ending, Kuroshio TOKYO Japan took out Xyon & Odyssey outside the ring, leading to…
Match 1: Block B: Xyon & Odyssey vs. Takashi & Kuroshio TOKYO Japan. 30 minute time limit
Result: Xyon & Odyssey beat Takashi & Kuroshio TOKYO Japan. Xyon pinned Japan after a diving headbutt.

Match 2: Block A: Shotaro Ashino & Go Shiozaki vs. Hokuto Omori & Kumaarashi (with a full head of hair instead of his usual short mohawk). 30 minute time limit
Result: Shotaro Ashino & Go Shiozaki beat Hokuto Omori & Kumaarashi. Shiozaki pinned Omori after Go Lariat.

Match 3: Jun Saito, MUSASHI & Seiki Yoshioka vs. Dan Tamura, Ryo Inoue & Shota Kofuji. 30 minute time limit
Result: Jun Saito, MUSASHI & Seiki Yoshioka beat Dan Tamura, Ryo Inoue & Shota Kofuji. Saito pinned Inoue after a chokeslam.

Intermission.

The matches resume at 7:36 PM PT/10:36 PM ET (about a 15 minute break).

Match 4: Block A: Hideki Suzuki & Kengo Mashimo vs. Ren Ayabe & Talos. 30 minute time limit
Result: Ren Ayabe & Talos beat Hideki Suzuki & Kengo Mashimo. Ayabe pinned Suzuki after Des Roulette.

Match 5: Block B: Kento Miyahara & Davey Boy Smith Jr. vs. Ryuki Honda & Naoya Nomura. 30 minute time limit
Result: Kento Miyahara & Davey Boy Smith Jr. beat Ryuki Honda & Naoya Nomura. Miyahara pinned Honda with a shutdown suplex hold.

Main Event: Block B: Yuma Aoyagi & Yuma Anzai vs. Atsuki Aoyagi & Rising Hayato. 30 minute time limit
Result: Atsuki Aoyagi & Rising Hayato beat Yuma Aoyagi & Yuma Anzai. Atsuki Aoyagi pinned Yuma Aoyagi after a 450 splash. Almost went the distance (25+ minutes).

The next event is tomorrow at Kira Messe Numazu in Shizuoka. There will be no live broadcast. On demand Sunday at 5 PM PT/8 PM ET. This will also be a Samurai! TV broadcast in Japan on 11/29.

Sumo-November 2025 Grand Sumo Tournament Day 13 Results (11/21/25)

Here are the quick results from today’s Day 13-Championship Day-of the November 2025 Grand Sumo Tournament in Fukuoka:
Key: M-Maegashira, K-Komusubi, S-Sekiwake, O-Ozeki, Y-Yokozuna, J-Juryo, Ms-Makushita, Sd-Sandanme, Jd-Jonidan, Jk-Jonokuchi

Makuuchi (top tier):
Gonoyama (M13) beat Meisei (M18)
Oshoumi (M16) beat Tomokaze (M12)
Sadanoumi (M16) beat Shishi (M11)
Asakoryu (M17) beat Kotoshoho (M10)
Daieisho (M10) beat Chiyoshima (M17)
Tobizaru (M9) beat Shonannoumi (M15)
Mitakeumi (M13) beat Midorifuji (M9)
Ryuden (M14) beat Kinbozan (M8)
Ichiyamamoto (M8) beat Roga (M11)
Fujinokawa (M12) beat Abi (M7)
Yoshinofuji (M5) beat Tokihayate (M14)
Hiradoumi (M3) beat Churanoumi (M7)
Wakamotoharu (M2) beat Onokatsu (M6)
Kirishima (M2) beat Atamifuji (M6)
Tamawashi (M4) beat Wakatakakage (M1)
Ura (M3) beat Hakuoho (M1)
Takayasu (K) beat Nishikifuji (M15)
Takanosho (K) beat Shodai (M5)
Oho (S) beat Oshoma (M4)
Hoshoryu (Y) beat Kotozakura (O)
Onosato (Y) beat Aonishiki (S)
Leader: Onosato, Hoshoryu (11-2)
Of note: He now trails the Yokozuna pair but it’s not over yet for Aonishiki despite the loss. He does have to beat Hoshoryu tomorrow to spoil a second straight Yokozuna Showdown for the championship though, and it would help him a lot if Kotozakura can beat Onosato.

Juryo:
Asasuiryu (J12) beat Kitanowaka (J12)
Wakanosho (J14) beat Hidenoumi (J9)
Kayo (J8) beat Tsurugisho (J11)
Nishinoryu (J9) beat Takerufuji (J7)
Nishikigi (J6) beat Hakuyozan (J10)
Tochitaikai (J5) beat Himukamaru (J13)
Asanoyama (J4) beat Tamashoho (J11)
Hatsuyama (J5) beat Kagayaki (J4)
Fujiryoga (J13) beat Daiseizan (J3)
Asahakuryu (J2) beat Kazekeno (J8)
Kotoeiho (J2) beat Kotokuzan (J6)
Fujiseiun (J1) beat Shirokuma (J7)
Tohakuryu (J10) beat Hitoshi (J1)
Leader: Fujiryoga (12-1)
Of note: It’s now all but Fujiryoga’s championship, he just has to win tomorrow…but his opponent tomorrow just happens to be Asanoyama. If he loses his last 2, worst-case is a playoff. It could be a 3-way as Hatsuyama is also 10-3 and still with a chance. At 10-3 I think Asanoyama will now be promoted back to the top tier but he may need one more win. Regardless of Asanoyama’s result, it’s been a great tournament for Takasago Beya as all three of their Juryo men have now clinched promotion and it looks like Asahakuryu is headed to the top tier as well. And Wakanosho made the most of his second chance in Juryo by also clinching promotion today and protecting his spot.

Makushita:
Kazuma (Ms15) beat Ryusho (Ms24). KAZUMA MAKUSHITA YUSHO!!! 3rd career championship, 1st Makushita. Based on his rank, there is a chance he will be promoted to Juryo in January.
No match for Enho today, the schedule suggests his last match will be on the Final Day Sunday.

Sandanme:
Kaki (Sd31) beat Chiyoraizan (Sd44). KAKI SANDANME YUSHO!!! 3rd championship, 3rd straight, 1st Sandanme, all in just 3 career tournaments with a near-perfect 20-1 record and 14 straight wins. Will be promoted to Makushita. Sounds like a certain Sekiwake right now.

Jonidan:
Ryuho (Jd45) beat Takahara (Jd85)
Kakueizan (Jd12) beat Wakaterumoto (Jd6). PLAYOFF!!! And the rarest of them too-between stablemates! Both are Otowayama Beya men meaning the former Kakuryu gets to watch two of his wrestlers compete for the championship. That playoff will happen on the Final Day.

Jonokuchi:
Goseiryu (Jk21) beat Fujinoteru (Jk9) GOSEIRYU JONOKUCHI YUSHO!!! 1st career championship. And…RARE KIMARITE ALERT!!! We probably won’t get to see the video but he won by a rare technique I haven’t seen before-ushiromotare, backward lean out. A video demonstrating the move is available on NHK World Japan’s YouTube channel.

Reminder-NHK World Japan will have 50 minutes of LIVE top tier coverage FOR FREE tomorrow at 12:10 AM PT/3:10 AM ET.

Pro Wrestling NOAH 11/21/25 Results (Updated)

CROSS OVER 2025, Pro Wrestling NOAH’s latest blowout event and perhaps last of the year, is now in the books.

Today’s event was held at Sendai Sun Plaza in Sendai and can be watched on demand on WRESTLE UNIVERSE in English. This was a live & exclusive ABEMA broadcast in Japan, which will be available in Japanese shortly if it is not already. The live UNIVERSE broadcast was English only.

The announced paid attendance was 832.

Match 1: Daga, Daiki Odashima, Ninja Mack (Independent/Freelancer), Alejandro & AMAKUSA beat Eita, Shuji Kondo, Yuto Kikuchi, Jun Masaoka (Independent/Freelancer) & Black Menso-re. Mack pinned Menso-re after Ninja Bomb.

NOAJ Jr. Grand Prix Semifinals:
Match 2: Kai Fujinura beat HAYATA.
Match 3: Hiromu Takahashi (New Japan) beat Tadasuke.

Match 4: KENTA, Ulka Sasaki & Tetsuya Endo beat Manabu Soya, Saxon Huxley & Kazuyuki Fujita. KENTA beat Huxley with a neck lock.

Match 5: Hi69 (HIROKI) Return & 25th Anniversary Match: Naomichi Marufuji, Kenoh, Jack Morris & Junta Miyawaki beat Hi69, Mohammed Yone, Atsushi Kotoge & Hajime Ohara. Marufuji pinned Hi69 after Shiranui.

Match 5: Masa Kitamiya & Takashi Sugiura beat GHC Heavyweight Tag Team Champions Hank Walker & Tank Ledger to win the titles. Kitamiya & Sugiura become the 73rd GHC Heavyweight Tag Team Champions. Kitamiya pinned Ledger after a Sugiura Olympic Yosen Slam and Lockout. Well, if that isn’t WWE for you…but then again I guess NOAH doesn’t want their titles going back to WWE with Hank & Tank. Debate this very short reign and quick rematch setup yourselves.

Match 6: NOAH Jr. Grand Prix Finals: Hiromu Takahashi beat Kai Fujimura to win the tournament. So no new challenger for Takahashi. Yet. Unless it’s maybe in New Japan? Actually I stand corrected per post-match fallout that went up on NOAH’s website as I was posting this…next up: AMAKUSA. That match will happen on 1/1 at Nippon Budokan in Tokyo.

Main Event: GHC Heavyweight Champion Yoshiki Inamura beat Kaito Kiyomiya to retain the title. V1 for Inamura. Now it’s legit. The last true hurdle is clear and his reign really begins now. Well done. Next up: OZAWA. A returning, cleaner-shaved and maybe not Team 2000X version. And either healthy or pulling a Seth Rollins. That match will happen on 1/1.

The next event is 11/28 at Bandaijima Multipurpose Square Okama in Niigata. Broadcast plans TBA.

UPDATE: In more post-event news, new trainee Yuto Koyanagi’s debut match has been announced. He will face Daiki Odashima at the Kaito Kiyomiya 10th Anniversary event on 12/7 at Korakuen Hall in Tokyo. And two other rookies-Midori Takahashi and Hiroto Tsuruya-will also debut but they get to face each other in their debut match.

Sumo-November 2025 Grand Sumo Tournament Day 12 Results (11/20/25) (Top 2 Tiers)

Here are the quick results from today’s Day 12 of the November 2025 Grand Sumo Tournament in Fukuoka:
Key: M-Maegashira, K-Komusubi, S-Sekiwake, O-Ozeki, Y-Yokozuna, J-Juryo, Ms-Makushita

Makuuchi (top tier):
Ryuden (M14) beat Meisei (M18)
Chiyoshoma (M17) beat Gonoyama (M13)
Fujinokawa (M12) beat Sadanoumi (M16)
Tomokaze (M12) beat Asakoryu (M16)
Roga (M11) beat Shonannoumi (M15)
Oshoumi (M16) beat Midorifuji (3-9)
Ochiyamamoto (M8) beat Nishikifuji (M15)
Kinbozan (M8) beat Midorifuji (M13)
Shishi (M11) beat Churanoumi (M7)
Tobozaru (M9) beat Abi (M7)
Tokihayte (M14) beat Atamifuji (M6)
Kotoshoho (M10) beat Onokatsu (M6)
Daieisho (M10) beat Shodai (M8)
Kirishima (M2) beat Wakamotoharu (M2)
Hakuoho (M1) beat Hiradoumi (M3)
Wakatakakage (M1) beat Ura (M1)
Tamawashi (M4) beat Takanosho (K)
Aonishiki (S) beat Oshoma (M4)
Kotozakura (O) beat Yoshinofuji (M5)
Onosato (Y) beat Oho (S)
Hoshoryu (Y) beat Takayasu (K)
Leader: Onosato, Hoshoryu, Aonishiki (10-2)
Of note: The next 2 days should decide if it’s a Yokozuna or Aonishiki holding the Emperor’s Cup. Aonishiki gets Onosato tomorrow then will presumably face Hoshoryu Saturday while both Yokozuna also have their Ozeki showdown against Kotozakura, with Hoshoryu first tomorrow. Oho will also be demoted from Sekiwake again, making him 0 for 2 at the rank. Kotozakura now needs one more win to protect his Ozeki rank.
That aside…RARE KIMARITE ALERT! Tobizaru dispatched Abi today with a rare move-kekaeshi, minor inner foot sweep. It involves kicking the opponent’s ankle with the back of your foot, while also sometimes striking their shoulders to move them forward.
At the bottom with as many as 4 Juryo men looking to come up, Chiyoshoma saved his spot by clinching promotion today while Sadanoumi may be going down unless he can win out to salvage 6-9. Also no longer safe is Asakoryu, in a 1-5 slump to fall to 6-6. A 4th straight 6-9 probably won’t keep him up this tome. Shonannoumi is also in the demotion zone at 3-9. Oshoumi is starting to make a run at saving his spot, his 8 match skid after winning his debut which means demotion has now turned into 3 straight wins, if he can get back to 7-8 he probably will get a second chance.

Juryo:
Fujiryoga (11-1) beat Tamashoho (8-4)
Tohakuryu (J10) beat Kazuto (Ms5)
Hidenoumi (J9) beat Kitanowaka (J12)
Nishinoryu (J9) beat Shiden (J14) by default/withdrawal
Wakanosho (J14) beat Kotokuzan (J6)
Himukamaru (J13) beat Nishikigi (J6)
Hatsuyama (J5) beat Asasuiryu (J12)
Kagayaki (J4) beat Tsurugisho (J11)
Asanoyama (J4) beat Kazekeno (J6)
Daiseizan (J3) beat Tochitaikai (J5)
Kotoeiho (J2) beat Hakuyozan (J10)
Asahakuryu (J2) beat Kayo (J8)
Shirokuma (J7) beat Hitoshi (J1)
Fujiseiun (J1) beat Takerufuji (J6)
Leader: Fujiryoga (11-1)
WITHDRAWAL: Shiden (J14). Left leg. Injury occurred during yesterday’s match. Status uncertain. If he can’t return tomorrow or Saturday he will be demoted to Makushita. Nishinoryu got the fusen as a result.
Of note: It remains Fujiryoga’s to lose as he keeps his 2-win lead due to all the 8-3 wrestlers winning. There is a chance for him to win the championship tomorrow if he beats Daiseizan and both Asanoyama & Hatsuyama lose. Should Fujiryoga ginish 14-1 I give him a slim chance to go right to the top tier in January. Asanoyama needs probably one more win at this point to go back up while stablemate & September champion Asahakuryu, although now out of title contention, clinched promotion today and also has a chance to go up. One more win should make it definite. One more win probably sees Daiseizan promoted up too. Not going back up this time is Takerufuji, currently 6-6 at J7. Possibly going down is Hitoshi, now 2-10 at J1. 2-13 might mean straight demotion to Makushita. There is hope for those in danger of demotion because, right now, there is only one Makushita man guaranteed promotion to Juryo (Kyokukaiyu is 4-3 at Ms1) and I see only two others with a real chance (Dewanoryu is 5-1 at Ms3, 6-1 means promotion for sure, Kazuma is 6-0 at Ms15 and has a chance if he wins the championship).

Lower tier notes: No match for Enho today, and looks like no match tomorrow so his final match will come on Day 14 or 15. Tomorrow is Championship Day in the lower tiers where the championship matches will be held and, in the Jonidan, there is potential for a playoff which would be on the Final Day.

UPDATE 2: In a post-match comments clip posted on New Japan’s Japanese social media account, Tanahashi responded to 11/19 post-match comments from DDT’s Kaisei Takechi where “The Rampage” requested a match against Tanahashi before his retirement. Tanahashi was happy about that but expressed concerns about it not being possible due to Takechi’s schedule. But Tanahashi seemingly extended an invite for Takechi to be part of Tokyo Dome on 1/4.

More as it becomes available..

UPDATE 3: It’s now official. Takechi will be part of 1/4z also, the NEVER 6-aman Tag Team Title match will be a Tornado Rambo aka a battle royal.

Shishi (M11) beat Asakoryu (M17)
Midorifuji (M9) beat Shonannoumi (M15)
Chiyoshoma (M17) beat Kinbozan (M8)
Ichiyamammoto (M8) beat Kotoshoho (M10)
Roga (M11) beat Abi (M7)
Churanoumi (M7) beat Daieisho (M10)
Onokatsu (M6) beat Tobizaru (M9)
Atamifuji (M6) beat Tamawashi (M4)
Kirishima (M2) beat Shodai (M5)
Hiradoumi (M3) beat Wakatakakage (M1)
Ura (M3) beat Takayasu (K)
Yosjinofuji (M5) beat Aonishiki (S)
Kotozakura (O) beat Oshoma (M4)
Hoshoryu (Y) beat Oho (S)
Takanosho (K) beat Onosato (Y)
Leaser: Onosato, Hoshoryu, Aonishiki (9-2)
Of note: This changes everything. First up, this is the first time since January that Onosato has a losing streak (he finished 10-5 then in his second tournament at Ozeki). And that Yoshinofuji win yesterday over the champ? Backed up emphatically today with another big win over Aonishiki, which clinches another promotion for the Isegahama man. Hoshoryu may be the big winner here as despite those two first week losses he’s bow co-leader and in position for maybe his first title as a Yokozuna. Tomorrow Onosato gets Oho, Hosboryu has Takayasu and Aonishiki faces Oahoma. Yoshinofuji faces Kotozakura and a win could clinch the Outstanding Performance Prize now that he’s got 8 wins and that would give him two against Yokozuna & Ozeki (he already lost to Hoshoryu). It won’t go to Hakuoho despite his Kinboshi because he is now demoted.
Elsewhere, despite demotion due to early absences Meisei has probably saved his salary with his first win today, which should be enough to keep him in Juryo in January if he doesn’t win again. Sadanoumi could also be demoted to Juryo now as well, Oshoumi is going down unless he wins out and gets to 7-8. And no uncertainty about the status of Aomori in the top tier-that nearly 150-year streak will definitely continue as Noshikifuji clinched promotion today, at the expense of a 4th straight loss for Fujinokawa after a 6-1 start. And another sign things are getting back to normal-that’s 2 straight katasukashi wins for Midorifuji. He may have his mojo back.

Juryo:
Asasuiryu (J12) beat Miyanokaze (Ms4)
Kitanowaka (J12) beat Himukamaru (J13)
Hakuyozan (J10) beat Tohakuryu (J10)
Nishinoryu (J9) beat Wakanosho (J14)
Tsurugisho (J11) beat Hidenoumi (J8)
Fujiryoga (J13) beat Kazekeno (J8)
Kayo (J8) beat Shiden (J14)
Tamashoho (J11) beat Takerufuji (J7)
Asanoyama (J4) beat Kagayaki (J4)
Hatsuyama (J5) beat Daiseizan (J3)
Asahakuryu (J2) beat Tochitaikai (J5)
Kotoeiho (J2) beat Shirokuma (J4)
Fujiseiun (J1) beat Nishikigi (J6)
Kotokuzan (J6) beat Hitoshi (J1)
Leader: Fujiryoga (10-1)
Of note: Shiden may have been injured in his loss today as he was taken out in a wheelchair afterwards. Hochi Sports reports it was a left leg injury. He may be done but updates will follow-if so, that’s demotion to Makushita along with Himukamaru, unless he wins put to get to 6-9 he’ll go back down. Back at the top, once again it’s a rookie’s title to lose as Fujiryoga is now 2 clear of the pack. That pack at 8-4 now includes Asanoyama who will now have a chance to earn promotion back to the top tier, but he probably needs at least 2 more wins. Stablemate Asahakuryu is close to getting there, needing one more win for promotion after today, which could mean 3 Takasago men up there in January if Asakoryu can hang on to his top tier spot as he’s struggling after a fast start yet again. If Fujiryoga wins tomorrow (Tamashoho in the first match) he can all but clinch the championship as if the other 3 at 8-3 lose worst-case now they can only force a playoff.

Lower tier notes: Enho clinched promotion today in Makushita with a win over Kamito, so at 4-2 he’ll move closer to back to Juryo with a 5th win providing a bigger boost if he can get it. The Makushita Championship match is now set for Friday and will be Kazuma vs. Ryusho. If Kazuma wins his second straight championship he will have a slight chance of promotion to Juryo from Ms15. Ryusho, a Ms60 debut in his 3rd tournament, would have a much slimmer chance from Ms24 hut a chance nonetheless. The Sandanme Championship is also set and will be Kaki vs. Chiyoraizan. If Kaki and Ryusho both win, that’s 2 titles for Oitekaze Beya. The Jonidan will be interesting-there are 3 left at 6-0 but Kakueizan & Ryubo are Otowoyama stablemates so they won’t face each other Saturday and could meet in a rare stablemates playoff if both win. In the Jobokuchi, Goseiryu is the lone 6-0 man left so if he wins his final match he is the champion, if he loses there could be a playoff. Goseiryu missed the last 3 tournaments before this one.
