All-Japan Pro Wrestling 7/25/2026 LIVE Results

All-Japan continues the Summer Action Series 2026 Tour today in Kobe. Today’s event is a major house show because it features 2 title matches-first up is an All-Japan World Junior Heavyweight Championship match as Dan Tamura defends the title against Naruki Doi. In the main event, Kento Miyahara defends the Triple Crown against Ren Ayabe, looking to win it for the second time while tag team partner Talos is back in the US waiting to return to Japan (visa-related).

Today’s event will be held at Kobe Sambo Hall in Kobe and can be watched LIVE on AJPW.TV in Japanese. This will also be a taped GAORA SPORTS broadcast in Japan on 8/5. The event is a legit advance sellout. There are only 6 matches planned but with the title matches and intermission it will run a little longer than a regular house show, probably around 2 1/2 hours (the longest it could go is roughly 4 hours which is the TV broadcast plan).

Today’s lineup:
Jun Saito vs. Shota Kofuji
Shotaro Ashino & Kumaarashi vs. Seiki Yoshioka & MUSASHI
Atsuki Aoyagi, Rising Hayato & Yasutaka Yano vs. Hokuto Omori, Seigo Tachibana & Leon de Oro
Intermission
Rei Saito, Hideki Suzuki & Yuma Aoyagi vs. Go Shiozaki, Ryuki Honda & Yuma Anzai
All-Japan World Junior Heavyweight Champion Dan Tamura vs. Naruki Doi for the title
All-Japan Triple Crown Champion Kento Miyahara vs. Ren Ayabe for the Triple Crown

Refresh this page occasionally for the latest results.

Updates below will begin at 9 PM PT/midnight ET. The live stream is scheduled to begin 10 minutes before the event.

8:50 PM PT UPDATE: The live stream has begun. We should be going to the venue in 5-10 minutes.

9 PM PT UPDATE: Live updates begin now.

We are LIVE from Kobe Sambo Hall in Kobe, Japan. Audio muted at first but comes on after a few moments. Commentary will begin when matches start.

The paid attendance will be announced after the event. It’s a legit advance sellout but there clearly are some empty seats right now. From what I know about the venue, a legit sellout probably means around 850. Commentary starts here, didn’t catch the host’s name but we also have Kagehiro Osano on commentary. (UPDATE: The announced paid attendance, a legit advance sellout, was 895)

The matches will begin shortly.

The matches begin at 9:05 PM PT/12:05 AM ET.

Match 1: Jun Saito vs. Shota Kofuji. 20 minute time limit
Result: Jun Saito beat Shota Kofuji

Match 2: Shotaro Ashino & Kumaarashi vs. Seiki Yoshioka & MUSASHI. 20 minute time limit

Intermission.

The matches resume at 10:05 PM PT/1:05 AM ET (about a 15 minute break). Jun Saito is a guest on commentary for the next match.

Match 4: Rei Saito, Hideki Suzuki & Yuma Aoyagi vs. Go Shiozaki, Ryuki Honda & Yuma Anzai. 30 minute time limit
Result: Go Shiozaki, Ryuki Honda & Yuma Anzai beat Rei Saito, Hideki Suzuki & Yuma Aoyagi. Anzai pinned Suzuki after Gimlet.

Atsuki Aoyagi is a guest on commentary for the next match.

Match 5: All-Japan World Junior Heavyweight Champion Dan Tamura vs. Naruki Doi (Independent/Freelancer) for the title. 1 Hour time limit
Result: All-Japan World Junior Heavyweight Champion Dan Tamura beat Naruki Doi to retain the title. V1 for Tamura. Next up: Commentary suggested it will be the upcoming Zennichi Jr. Festival winner.

Main Event: All-Japan Triple Crown Champion Kento Miyahara vs. Ren Ayabe for the Triple Crown. 1 Hour time limit
Result: All-Japan Triple Crown Champion Kento Miyahara beat Ren Ayabe to retain the Triple Crown. V8 for Miyahara. Next up: Anzai. Tokyo was mentioned for a match right before he came out so, looking at the schedule, it most likely would be 8/29 at Ebara Wave Arena Ota/Ota City General Gym but a slight chance it’s 8/9 at Korakuen Hall. Updates to follow. (UPDATE: Not yet official but sounds like 8/29)

The next event is tomorrow at Juroku Plaza in Gifu. There will be no live broadcast. On demand Sunday.

BREAKING: Stardom Wrestler Retiring (Updated)

At a press conference earlier today, Stardom wrestler Natsupoi announced her upcoming retirement. Her retirement event will be 1/3/2027 at Yokohama Budokan in Yokohama. It sounds like she made the decision before her recent IWGP Women’s Championship match when she lost to Syuri then dropped a hint backstage by leaving one of her kneepads on the ground after comments.

There were no hints of what she would do post-retirement although earlier this year she did get married to New Japan Pro Wrestling’s Shingo Takagi.

More as it becomes available.

UPDATE: Here is the presser video which was livestreamed earlier on YouTube:

DEVELOPING: Absent TJPW Wrestler Returning

Some very good news for Tokyo Joshi Pro fans-according to official Up Up Girls social media updates today, Shino Suzuki will be returning from hiatus next week. She has been out a few months for unspecified medical issues but thankfully has fully recovered. She is scheduled to resume activities starting on 7/30 although Suzuki then posted with a claim it will be mid-August. However, the latter seems to be an inaccurate translation as TJPW has confirmed her return match will be 7/30 at Shinjuku Face in Tokyo, teaming with Mizuki to face Miyu Yamashita & Haru Kazashiro. Regardless, the important thing is she’s healthy and coming back.
