Pro Wrestling NOAH held their first STAR NAVIGATION 2025 event of the year today, a PREMIUM event in Tokyo.
Today’s event was held at Korakuen Hall in Tokyo and can be watched on demand on WRESTLE UNIVERSE. You can also watch the first 2 matches FOR FREE on YouTube.
The announced paid attendance was 1535, a legit sellout.
Match 1: Eita, Shuji Kondo, AMAKUSA & Junta Miyawaki beat HAYATA, Yo-HEY, Tadasuke & Yuto Kikuchi. Eita pinned HAYATA with La Magistral.
Match 2; Ulka Sasaki & Zozaya beat Mohammed Yone & Black Menso-re (Independent/Freelancer). Sasaki pinned Menso-re with a backdrop hold.
Match 3: Go Shiozaki, Atsushi Kotoge, Kazuyuki Fujita & Hajime Ohara beat Naomichi Marufuji, Takashi Sugiura, Masa Kitamiya & Daiki Odashima. Shiozaki pinned Odashima after Go Lariat.
Match 4: Hijo de Dr. Wagner Jr. & Galeno (Galeno Del Mal) beat Saxon Huxley & LJ Cleary. Wagner Jr. pinned Cleary after Emerald Flowsion. This was Wagner Jr.’s final match in the promotion, at least for some time, as he is now headed back to his native Mexico.
Match 5; Daga & Yu Owada beat Alejandro & Kai Fujimura. Owada pinned Fujimura.
Match 6: Jack Morris & Omos (WWE) beat Kaito Kiyomiya & Harutoki. Omos pinned Harutoki after Last Ride.
Match 7: OZAWA vs. Kenoh went to a no contest. Which led to…
Impromptu Match: In a handicap match, OZAWA, Jack Morris, Omos, Daga, Yu Owada & Yoshitatsu beat Kenoh, Kaito Kiyomiya, Alejandro & Kai Fujimura. OZAWA pinned Alejandro after Real Rebel.
Main Event: Tetsuya Endo beat GHC National Champion Manabu Soya to win the title. Endo becomes the 14th GHC National Champion. Next up: REMATCH!!! That match will happen on 2/11, as will the first GHC Heavyweight Championship defense for OZAWA. The challenger: Galeno.
The next event is tomorrow at G Messe Gunma in Gunma. There will be no live broadcast.
Injury Report: So apparently masks don’t protect you from injuries. Alejandro is now off tomorrow because of an injury suffered today. Facial bruises. He was to have teamed with Kai Fujimura to face Omos. Several changes to the card were made as a result so Omos will now face Tadasuke & Yuto Kikuchi and Fujimura will team with Kenoh to face Daga & Yu Owada. He is not scheduled for the following event on Monday (a LIMIT BREAK ex.) so he has a week to recover. Unless something is broken I doubt he’ll miss any more time.
