After a very successful first run several months ago, Pro Wrestling NOAH brought back the MONDAY MAGIC series for a second season of events, which kicked off today with Episode 1.
Today’s event was held at Shinjuku Face in Tokyo and can be watched on demand on WRESTLE UNIVERSE. It also streamed live on ABEMA in Japan.
The paid attendance has not yet been announced but it was a legit advance sellout.

Match 2; Kenoh beat Ryohei Oiwa.
Match 3: Nagisa Nozaki & Great Sakuya beat Miyuki Takase & Nameless (?). Sakuya pinned Nameless after a moonsault press.
Match 4; Jake Lee, YO-HEY & Tadasuke beat Masa Kitamiya, Junta Miyawaki & Yu Owada. YO-HEY pinned Owada after a dropkick.
Match 5: Yoshinari Ogawa & Gedo (New Japan) vs. HAYATA & Eita went to a no contest.
Main Event: Kaito Kiyomiya beat Ulka Sasaki.
Episode 2 is next Monday and will feature a GHC Junior Heavyweight Tag Team Championship match as YO-HEY & Tadasuke defend the titles against Isami Kodaka & Yuko Miyamoto.
The next event is Saturday at Shimizu Marine Building in Shizuoka. There will be no live broadcast.
In other news, after making a surprise appearance today, former Stardom wrestler Giulia has been added to the 5/4 event at Ryogoku Kokugikan. More as it becomes available.
