DEVELOPING: GLEAT Title Vacated

GLEAT fans haven’t seen much of the Lidet UWF Championship lately since it had been around the waist of Fujita “Jr.” Hayato of Michinoku Pro Wrestling. That changed today…at a Michinoku Pro event it was announced the Lidet UWF Championship is now VACANT. Hayato vacated the title because of being out an unknown period of time due to illness. He had held the title since July 2023 but only made one successful defense as UWF fights take a backseat to G PROWRESTLING and are only featured every few events. No word yet on plans to crown a new champion.

The next event is G PROWRESTLING Ver. 56 on 7/16 at Umeda Sky Building Stellar Hall in Osaka. There will likely be no live broadcast.

Also not mentioned in results but announced for 8/4: Kota Ibushi participation. Yes, THAT Kota Ibushi (who hasn’t been seen since he unceremoniously left New Japan following an injury suffered in the 2021 G1 CLIMAX Finals). He has been reportedly linked to All Elite Wrestling but that hasn’t happened and seems very unlikely.
