Main Event: All-Japan Triple Crown Champion Kento Miyahara beat Ryuki Honda to retain the Triple Crown. V10(!) for Miyahara. That ties the record he shares for most successful defenses. Longest reign? Not even close. That’s about 23 months so he has about 10 months to go. (He did manage 17 months before)

The next event is Monday at Hakodate General Wholesale Center Distribution Hall to start their annual Hokkaido tour. There will be no live broadcast. On drmand later that day. The only live broadcast for the tour will be the finale-in the US this comes after the fall time change so it will be an hour earlier.

In other news, the full field for the upcoming World’s Strongest/Real World Tag League was also announced. It will be a 2 block round-robin format with 12 teams entered, matches under PWF Rules (2 points for win, 1 point for time limit draw, 0 points for double countout/double DQ/no contest, 30 minute time limit) and the top 2 in each block advancing to the Semifinals. Tiebreaker if needed will be head-to-head result. The entered teams:
Block A: Jun & Rei Saito, Xyon & Odyssey, Suwama & Go Shiozaki, Kento Moyahara & Hyo Ogawa, Ryuki Honda & Masayuki Kono, MUSASBI & Seiki Yoshioka
Block B: Ren Ayabe & Talos (2025 winners), Yuma Aoyagi & Yuma Anzai, Hideki Suzuki & Timothy Thatcher, Cal Bloom & Shotaro Ashino, Daisuke Sekimoto & Kengo Mashimo, Dan Tamura & Seigo Tachibana
on paper it suggests Block A probably favors the Saitos & Havoc to advance, while the reunited Titans Of Calamity should come out of Block B with the second spot being a toss-up.
The tournament starts on 11/21 and ends on 12/6.

UPDATE: The final obstacle between Miyahara & the Triple Crown defense record will be Yuma Aoyagi. That match will happen on 12/31 at Yoyogi National Stadium Gym 2.
