Pro Wrestling NOAH 9/20/2026 LIVE Results

Pro Wrestling NOAH continues the N-1 VICTORY 2026 Tournament today with a morning matinee in Osaka. Today marks the halfway point of the tournament and will feature only Block A matches, with Day 4 of the block. With only one spot advancing nobody can clinch today but, if things don’t go his way, Yuki Iino could become the first elimination of the tournament. The highlight match is between former GHC Heavyweight Champions as Yoshiki Inamura faces Shane Haste.

Today’s event will be held at Umeda Stellar Hall in Osaka and can be watched LIVE on WRESTLE UNIVERSE. The event is a legit advance sellout. There will be no commentary. There is also a pre-show match scheduled, which will now be part of the live stream. There are 8 matches total, so including the pre-show match I anticipate the event’s running time being around 2 1/2 hours.

Today’s lineup (match order TBA except for pre-show match):
Pre-show:
Manabu Soya, Yuto Koyanagi & Hiroto Tsuruya vs. Tetsuya Endo, HAYATA & Katsumi Inahata

Main show:
Kouga, Titus Alexander & Hiroya Namiki vs. OZAWA, Masa Kitamiya & Tadasuke

New Japan continued their annual Hokkaido tour today with the halfway point event.

Today’s event was held at Irie Sports Park General Gym in Hokkaido and can be watched on demand on New Japan World. (It’s all live & on demand the rest of the tour now)

The announced paid attendance was 1150.

Match 1: Taisei Nakahara beat Yusahin Hatazawa. (I’ve been inadvertently spelling it wrong as Hatasawa)

Match 2: Shun Skywalker won a 14 man battle royal, last eliminating Shota Umino.

Main Event: OSKAR (The Grouch) & Yuto Ice (Ice Baby) beat Toru Yano & Togi Makabe. Ice pinned Makabe after KOB. As a result, OSKAR & Ice will get the next IWGP Heavyweight Tag Team Championship shot. But let’s point out the real talking point here-Makabe & Yano, who are well over 100 years old combined, managed to hang with the duo about half their age for nearly 34 minutes. 34 MINUTES! That really says something. When said title match happens it TBA but I’m thinking either DESTRUCTION of KING OF PRO WRESTLING as it all but has to be before the upcoming World Tag League.

The next event is Monday at Kitami Sports Center. Live streaming on New Japan World will begin at midnight PT/3 AM ET.

UPDATE: The Tag Title match is now official. That match will happen on 10/6 at Korakuen Hall in Tokyo.
