Pro Wrestling NOAH runs their monthly Legacy Rise 2026 event today with a morning matinee in Tokyo. The featured match is a GHC Junior Heavyweight Championship match-after winning the title in his hometown, Eita wasted no time in making the very brave-or very stupid-move of calling out the best of the best for his first defense-HAYATA. Although he hasn’t held the title in over 2 1/2 years, HAYATA remains perhaps the best of the class in the promotion and is no doubt eager to become a 6-time champion and get within one of the all-time record of 7 reigns still held by Yoshinobu Kanemaru.

Today’s event will be held at Korakuen Hall in Tokyo and can be watched LIVE on WRESTLE UNIVERSE in Japanese and English. There are 7 matches planned with just the one title match so it probably will be a normal Korakuen event with a running time of around 2 1/2 hours.

Today’s lineup (match order TBA):
Tetsuya Endo, Dragon Bane & Midori Takahashi vs. Tetsuya Naito, BUSHI & RYUSEI
AMAKUSA, Daiki Odashima & Yuro Koyanagi vs. Super Crazy, Kid Lykos 1 & 2 and Tadasuke, Alpha Wolf & Jun Masaoka in a 3-way
Naomichi Marufuji, Yoshiki Inamura & Katsumi Inahata vs. Kenoh, Kazuyuki Fujita & Hiroto Tsuruya
Yuki Iino vs. Masa Kitamiya
Kaito Kiyomiya vs. Alejandro
Shane Haste & Manabu Soya vs. OZAWA & Takashi Sugiura
GHC Junior Heavyweight Champion Eita vs. HAYATA for the title

Result: GHC Junior Heavyweight Champion Eita beat HAYATA to retain the title. V1 for Eita. Next up: If his actions post-match are any indication, Kai Fujimura.

Por favor, no molestar was the theme of today’s Pro Wrestling NOAH event, an Eita 15th Anniversary event held in Nagano for the former Dragon Gate star who joined NOAH a few years back. That theme is sort of his unofficial motto.

Today’s event was held at Agematsu Town Community Center in Nagano and can be watched on demand on WRESTLE UNIVERSE.

Pro Wrestling NOAH wrapped up the NEO Global Tag League today with the Finals.

Main Event: NEO Global Tag League Finals: Manabu Soya & Yuki Iino beat Karl Anderson & Doc Gallows to win the tournament. Soya pinned Anderson after Passion IS. As a result, Soya & Iino will get a GHC Heavyweight Tag Team Championship match in the near future. And right before I posted this it was made official. That match will happen on 6/25.

The next event is Saturday at Agematsu Town Community Center in Nagano for a Eita 15th Anniversary event with Eita vs. Bane for the GHC Junior Heavyweight Championship. Live streaming on WRESTLE UNIVERSE will begin at 12:30 AM PT/3:30 AM ET.

Also some interesting fallout from today-Tadasuke claims he is putting bis N-1 Tournament entry on the line, apparently against Odashima, as a result of today. It will be a ladder match on 7/18 and naturally Tadasuke is stacking the deck-4 participants and it’s 3 Team 2000X members-Tadasuke, Alpha Wolf & Jun Masaoka-and Odashima. Also added to 8/18 is Yoshiki Inamura vs. Kazuyuki Fujita. They join the one other official match so far, Tetsuya Naito vs. Kaito Kiyomiya.

WRESTLE MAGIC 2026, Pro Wrestling NOAH’s latest likely NOSAWA Rongai Prosuced event, is in the books.

Today’s event was held at Korakuen Hall in Tokyo and can be watched on demand as a PPV on WRESTLE UNIVERSE until 6/29.

Match 2: Mirai Aono, ZONES & Miyuki Takase beat Nightshade, Johnnie Robbie & Miko Alana. Aono pinned Alana.

Match 3: Shuji Ishikawa beat Daisuke Sekimoto to win the vacant GHC Hardcore Championship. Ishikawa becomes the 17th GHC Hardcore Champion. 8th by the promotion’s count because they do not recognize reigns prior to the title being reactivated during the pandemic.

Match 4: HAYATA, Riiita & MAO beat Rich Port Ayala, Rhys Alexios & Danny Duggan. MAO pinned Duggan after Osaka Rinkai Upper.

Match 5: Ultimo Dragon, The Great Sasuke, Hayabusa, Tsubasa & Alejandro beat MAZADA, FUJITA, Shuji Kondo, “brother” YASSHI & Shuji Kondo. Dragon pinned YASSHI with La Magistral. This may have been a handicap match but I’m not sure if NOSAWA Rongai was part of the losing team or just seconded tbem.

Match 6: MIRAI beat Great Sakuya to won the vacant GHC Women’s Championship. MIRAI becomes the 4th GHC Women’s Champion.

Main Event: Zack Sabre Jr., Luis Mante & Chris Brookes beat Kaito Kiyomiya, Titus Alexander & Archie Cole. Sabre beat Cole with a modified octopus hold.

Match 1: Tetsuya Endo beat Hiroto Tsuruya.

Match 2: Eita & Yuto Koyanagi beat AMAKUSA & Black Menso-re. Eita pinned Menso-re after Imperial Uni.

Main Event: Naomichi Marufuji & Kenoh beat Yoshiki Inamura & Stallion Rogers. Marufuji pinned Rogers after a round fist.
As a result, Marufuji/Kenoh and Soya/Iino finish tied for the block lead at 4-1, 8 pts, but because they won the head-to-head matchup, which is the tiebreaker, Soya/Iino win the block and advance to the Finals and will face Anderson/Gallows.

The Final is Tuesday at Korakuen Hall in Tokyo.

The next event is WRESTLE MAGIC Tuesday at Korakuen Hall. Live streaming as a PPV on WRESTLE UNIVERSE will begin at 3 AM PT/6 AM ET. The PPV will be available for on demand purcase & viewing until 6/29.

Another unfortunate-timed injury, this one in Pro Wrestling NOAH. Not sure when it happened as he was not on today’s event but it has major title implications because Hi69 is headed to the sidelines. Calf muscle tear. Out indefinitely including Tuesday. That’s major because on Tuesday he was to have teamed with Atsushi Kotoge to challenge for the GHC Junior Heavyweight Tag Team Championship. Plans now undecided. We may have to wait until after Monday’s PPV to find out more. It’s not yet known how long Hi69 will be out.

More as it becomes available.

UPDATE: The title match Tuesday is ON. Hajime Ohara is the replacement.

Pro Wrestling NOAH ram the final episode of MONDAY MAGIC Inside Out Season today.

Pro Wrestling NOAH continues the NEO Global Tag League today with the last day of Block A. The winners of the block after today’s matches will advance to the Finals. That scenario is pretty simple-the winner of today’s match between Tetsuya Naito & BUSHI and Karl Anderson & Doc Gallows will advance to the Finals. If it goes to a draw, tiebreakers mean there will be a rematch. It can only get complicated if it somehow winds up being a no contest meaning Team 2000X finds a way to ruin everything like they do so well.

Today’s event will be held at Kasai Sports Center in Aomori and can be watched LIVE on WRESTLE UNIVERSE. There will be no commentary. There are 8 matches planned and no mention of whether or not there will be an intermission but it probably will wind up being a standard house show with a running time of around 2 hours.

Today’s lineup (match order TBA):
Alejandro vs. RYUSEI
KENTA, Katsumi Inahata & Eita vs. Mohammed Yone, Atsushi Kotoge & Hajime Ohara
