Pro Wrestling NOAH 7/18/2026 Results

SUMMER EPIC 2026, Pro Wrestling NOAH’s latest major event, was held earlier today in Osaka at a first-time venue.

Today’s event was held at Intex Osaka Hall 5 in Osaka and can be watched on demand on WRESTLE UNIVERSE in Japanese & English. This was an exclusive ABEMA live broadcast in Japan so the live broadcast outside Japan was English only.

The announced paid attendance was 2088. They used only a small portion of the venue because it it a massive convention center-type space (reportedly the 3rd-biggest in Japan) but it sounds like a good number for the setup.

Pre-show:
Match 1: Atsushi Kotoge, Mohammed Yone, Hi69 & Hajime Ohara beat Katsumi Inahata, Yuto Koyanagi, Midori Takahashi & Hiroto Tsuruya. Kotoge pinned Takahashi.

Match 2: Tetsuya Endo & HAYATA beat RYUSEI & Black Menso-re. Endo pinned RYUSEI after God’s Right Knee.

Main show:
Match 1: GHC Junior Heavyweight Tag Team Champions Dragon Bane & Alejandro beat JACKY KAMEI & Riiita to retain the titles. Bane pinned KAMEI after Twisterbane. V4 for the champs.

Match 2: Yoshiki Inamura beat Kazuyuki Fujita.

Match 3: Alpha Wolf won a 7 man ladder match over Tadasuke, Jun Masaoka, Daiki Odashima, AMAKUSA, Kid Lykos 1 & 2. As a result, Wolf is in the N-1 VICTORY Tournament and, because he put his spot on the line, Tadasuke is OUT.

Match 4: Tetsuya Naito beat Kaito Kiyomiya. As a result, Naito gets the next GHC Heavyweight Championship shot after today.

Match 5: GHC Junior Heavyweight Champion Eita beat BUSHI to retain the title. V2 for Eita. Next up: Here comes the Team 2000X Gauntlet…starting with Kai Fujimura. That match will happen on 8/10 at Korakuen Hall in Tokyo.

Match 6: GHC Heavyweight Tag Team Champions Manabu Soya & Yuki Iino beat Masa Kitamiya & Takashi Sugiura to retain the titles. Soya pinned Kitamiya after Passion IS. V1 for the champs.

Match 7: GHC National Champion Naomichi Marufuji beat Kenoh to retain the title. V3 for Marufuji. Next up: KENTA. That match will happen on 8/9 at Korakuen Hall in Tokyo.

Main Event: GHC Heavyweight Champion Shane Haste beat OZAWA to retain the title. V3 for Haste. Next up: As noted above, Naito. That match will happen on 8/9.

In post-event news/fallout, a new championship has been created, the GHC 200 Championship. Perhaps loosely inspired by championships such as the High Speed Championship, GLEAT’s G-RUSH Championship and the WWE Speed Championship, this is a title for matches that will have-no kidding-a 200 second time limit. An 8-man tournament will be held on 8/9 & 8/10 to crown the first champion with these special rules: 5 count count-outs, any draw in the tournament means BOTH are out, if nobody reaches the finals because of this rule there will be another tournament at a later date. For the Finals, if there is a time limit draw a discussion will be immediately held to determine the winner. In future title defenses, a time limit draw means the champion retains the title.
The 8/9 matches & participants: Kaito Kiyomiya vs. Yoshiki Inamura, Kenoh vs. Alpha Wolf, Tetsuya Endo vs. AMAKUSA, HAYATA vs. Masa Kitamiya.

Another new wrestler will debut on 8/10: Hiroya Namiki, a new rookie, will debut against Daiki Odashima. Namiki, 24, is about 5’10” and 77 kg/165 pounds and will be a Junior Heavyweight.

The next event is 7/26 at Ishikawa Industrial Exhibition Hall 3 in Ishikawa for a charity fundraiser event. There will be no live broadcast. On demand 7/28.

Tokyo Joshi Pro Wrestling “SUMMER SUN PRINCESS ‘26” LIVE Results (7/18/2026)

SUMMER SUN PRINCESS ‘26, Tokyo Joshi Pro’s annual July blowout event, finally happens today. The hype is over and it’s time for Princess Of Princess Champion Yuki Arai to make her toughest title defense yet against the Final Boss of TJPW-Miyu Yamashita, who hasn’t held the title on over 2 years and looks to become the first 5-time champion. Arai has beaten Yamashita by submission before in a tag match so there is hope, but part of me fears her first title reign ends today…elsewhere there of course are 2 other title matches. International Princess Champion Suzume defends against Wakana Uehara, with the Super Big Eater looking to turn all those YouTube calorie hunts into her first singles championship. And the Princess Tag Team Championship is on the line as Miu Watanabe & Rika Tatsumi defend against Shoko Nakajima & Hyper Misao in a match that promises a lot of hijinks. Elsewhere, the Yuki Kamifuku retirement road kicks off as The Casual Beauty has a really fun match, and quite the appropriate partner in the TJPW debut of O-MENZ Kumadori, who joins Kamifuku & Sakura Hattori to face Sanshiro Takagi, Yumehito Imanari & Mahiro Kiryu. The opening match will see the debut of Momo Sato, as the idol-turned-wrestler follows her big brother, DDT’s Daichi Sato, into the ring.

There has been a last-minute change to the card due to Willow Nightingale (All Elite Wrestling) being pulled off the event. Travel issues-her flight to Japan was cancelled and while alternate arrangements have been made it sounds like she won’t make it in time. She was to have faced Mizuki. Chris Brookes (DDT) is the replacement.

Today’s event will be held at Korakuen Hall in Tokyo and can be watched LIVE on WRESTLE UNIVERSE in Japanese & English. Rio Omori of idol group Ma’Scar’Piece will be the guest on Japanese commentary. It was previously announced that the event’s expected running time will be 3 hours so no speculation needed.

Today’s lineup:
Momo Sato Debut Match: Momo Sato & Shion Kanzaki vs. Uta Takami & Ren Konatsu
Sakura Hirota, HIMAWARI & Mifu Ashida vs. Raku, Pom Harajuku & Chika Nanase
Yuki Aino & Haru Kazashiro vs. MIRAI & Toga
Aja Kong vs. Arisu Endo
Yuki Kamifuku, O-MENZ Kumadori & Sakura Hattori vs. Sanshiro Takagi, Yumehito Imanari & Mahiro Kiryu
Mizuki vs. Chris Brookes
International Princess Champion Suzume vs. Wakana Uehara for the title
Princess Tag Team Champions Miu Watanabe & Rika Tatsumi vs. Shoko Nakajima & Hyper Misao for the titles
Princess Of Princess Champion Yuki Arai vs. Miyu Yamashita for the title

Updates below will begin at 7 PM PT/10 PM ET. The live stream is scheduled to begin 20 minutes before the event.

6:40 PM PT UPDATE: The live stream has begun. It now says hwen the stream will start instead of the matches, so if accurate we will be going to the venue in 10 minutes.

6:48 PM PT UPDATE: Live updates begin now.

We are LIVE from Korakuen Hall in Tokyo, Japan. Your hosts are Haruo Murata, Kagehiro Osano, Sayoko Mita & guest Rio Omori. WRESTLE UNIVERSE page also lists Marika Tani as a host, maybe later but not now. Your English host is Mr. Haku.

The paid attendance will be announced after the event. Advance sales were much stronger than usual for Korakuen but it’s till the reduced capacity setup which means probably 1100-1150 tops. Based on sales so far I’m thinking they’ll get to at least 1000. (UPDATE: The announced paid attendance was 1204, a full house/near sellout)

Main Event: Princess Of Princess Champion Yuki Arai vs. Miyu Yamashita for the title. 30 minute time limit
Result: Princess Of Princess Champion Yuki Arai beat Miyu Yamashita to retain the title. V4 for Arai. Final Boss Vanquished! It was a hoss fight but somehow Arai prevailed and the reign continues and I go home happy for a little longer. Next up: Likely the Tokyo Princess Cup winner unless, best-case scenario, Arai wins it. But that could very well mean a rematch if Yamashita wins. That match will probably happen at WRESTLE PRINCESS 7 but we’ll find out as it gets closer.

The next event is the Tokyo Princess Cup starting Monday at Act City Hamamatsu in Shizuoka. Live streaming on WRESTLE UNIVERSE will begin Sunday at 10 PM PT/1 AM ET. All tournament events will air live and be available on demand immediately afterwards.

Stardom News: New Title Match Added To Saturday’s PPV

With just over 36 hours to go until the 5STAR GP kicks off Saturday with a PPV, Stardom has just added another title match to the card-in confirming All Elite Wrestling’s Julia Hart as an injury replacement for Bea Priestley, they also announced, surely to President Taro Okada’s dismay, the return of his favorite heel ever-Thekla. That’s because Hart, Thekla & Skye Blue sill face Artist Of Stardom Champions Ami Sohrei, Hina & Lady C for the titles on Saturday. So much for Thekla being done with Stardom forever…Pro Wrestling, Everybody!

The match will be on the PPV portion of the event after 2 pre-show matches. Depending on broadcast plans, there is a chance this title match will be part of a free YouTube broadcast but we won’t know until a few hours before the event.

UPDATE: Clarification on Illusion-it appears he created a means to challenge anytime anywhere for the rights to challenge for the title shot anytime anywhere, as long as it’s within the current fiscal year, although the title challenges via the rights must happen by 9/27. (Confused?)
