Their 8/17 match could decide the block winner. Anou is 3rd at 3-1-1, 7 points. Iida & Sakura are at 4 points but Iida has 3 matches left while Sakura has 4 so both still are in it. Ruaka has 3 points with 3 matches left so her hopes are now slim but not zero, while Amasaki is in a smilar place at 1-3, 2 points with 3 matches left. Hime is OUT with no points and 3 matches left.

Sareee is 2-1-1, 5 points followed by Konami & Yagami at 2-3, 4 points.

New Japan 8/8/25 Results

New Japan continued the G1 CLIMAX 35 today in Yokohama with the penultimate day of Block B.

Today’s event was held at Yokohama Budokan in Yokohama and can be watched on demand on New Japan World.

The announced paid attendance was 2448.

Match 1: Toru Yano & Boltin Oleg beat Masatora Yasuda & Taichi. Yano pinned Yasuda.

G1 CLIMAX Block B:
Match 6: El Phantasmo beat YOSHI-HASHI.
Match 7: Zack Sabre Jr. beat Drilla Moloney.
Match 8: Shingo Takagi beat Ren Narita.
Main Event: Shota Umino beat Konosuke Takeshita.
Great-O-Khan beat Gabriel Kidd by forfeit.
With one day left, Sabre is now in the lead at 6-2, 12 points, and because of tiebreakers he will advance as his only losses are to Narita & Umino, who are at 5-3, 10 points along with Takeshita. Umino will advance with a win in his last match (Khan) while the Takeshita-Narita winner also will advance. If Umino loses, his only hope is for Takagi-Moloney to be a draw because Umino lost to both, and that would mean Takeshita can also advance that way. Everyone else is at 4-4, 8 points with still a slim chance on tiebreakers except for YOSHI-HASHI, who is now OUT because of tiebreakers (he would only have them against Narita & Takagi). For the Takagi-Moloney winner to have any chance to advance, Umino and Takeshita must lose. The top 3 advance.

The next event is Sunday at G Messe Gunma in Gunma with the final day of Block A. Live streaming on New Japan World will begin Saturday at 11 PM PT/2 AM ET.

Tokyo Joshi Pro 8/5/25 Results

Today’s event was held at Kitazawa Town Hall in Tokyo and will be available on demand on WRESTLE UNIVERSE at a later date. There was no live broadcast.

The announced paid attendance was 128.

This was more a theater-style event as it started with an unmasked Hyper Misao being attacked by someone mysterious, and her body is swapped with Yuki Aino’s.

Act 2: The Tokyo Joshi Pro Academy with students played by Pom Harajuku & Miu Watanabe and professor played by Yuki Kamifuku aims to protect Earth in the year 20XX. 2 aliens arrive as male transfer students.

Act 3: The student disciplinary committee, played by Suzume, Raku & Haru Kazashiro, appears and takes objection to Aino’s appearance but Aino is helped out someone she bumped in to on the road outside, played by Toga. They eventually get recruited by the student council, played by Shoko Nakajima, Shino Suzuki & Mahiro Kiryu.

Act 4: The aliens take over the disciplinary committee.

Act 5: Toga & Rika-sensei, played by Rika Tatsumi, are taken over by the aliens and fight against the student council.

Act 6: One of the alien’s identity is revealed as Princess Ura, who has come to conquer Earth.

Intermission.

Act 7: The council manages to repel Princess Ura and protect Earth, thanks to help from Aino.

Act 8: Flashback to Misao heading to the venue and running into Aino, the former having no apparent clue of everything that transpired.

Act 9: Princess Ura is revealed to be…DDT wrestler Danshoku Dieno. Aino doesn’t want to fight, but is finally talked into it. Which led to…
Main Event: Danshoku Dieno beat Yuki Aino.

After the match, the final act played out and ended the story…or did it?

The next event is Saturday at Shinagawa Grand Hall in Tokyo to continue the Tokyo Princess Cup with the Quarterfinals. Live streaming on WRESTLE UNIVERSE will begin Friday at 9 PM PT/midnight ET.
