All-Japan Pro Wrestling 3/15/2026 LIVE Results

All-Japan kicks off their March tour, the Dream Power Series 2026, today in Tokyo. The Zennichi Jr. Tag Festival continues today with the Semifinals, which are Dan Tamura & Hikaru Sato vs. Ryo Inoue & Mozhicuki Junior and Atsuki Aoyagi & Rising Hayato vs. Seiki Yoshioka & Yuya Susumu. The main event will be an All-Japan World Tag Team Title match: Ren Ayabe & Talos have been a giant team the last year and are the current champions, but today they run into DOOM! Jun & Rei Saito are back together now that Rei has returned from a shoulder in jury and they’re coming to take the titles back.

There will also be a pre-show match that marks Yuma Aoyagi’s return to the promotion after a 3-month suspension for a major traffic accident in November 2025 where he was found to be at fault and driving without a license among other charges. He was also docked 50% of his pay before being reinstated this past week.

Today’s event will be held at Korakuen Hall in Tokyo and can be watched LIVE on AJPW.TV in Japanese. This will also be a Samurai! TV broadcast in Japan, but it’s not known if it will be live or be taped to air at a later date. The pre-show match will not be part of the AJPW.TV live broadcast. The main card has 6 matches planned, the Tag Festival matches are no time limit so it’s a little harder to predict a total running time but based on the other matches, and taking an intermission into account, I’m guessing it will be close to 3 hours.

Today’s lineup:
Pre-show:
Yuma Aoyagi Return Match: Yuma Aoyagi vs. Hideki Suzuki (will not be broadcast live on AJPW.TV)

Main Show:
Shota Kofuji vs. MAZADA
Go Shiozaki, Shotaro Ashino, Xyon & Odyssey vs. Hokuto Omori, Naruki Doi, Kota Sekifuda & Toshiki Safuda
Kento Miyahara, Ryuki Honda, Yuma Anzai & MUSASHI vs. Kumaarashi, Daisuke Sekimoto, Masayuki Kono & Seigo Tachibana
Intermission
Zennichi Jr. Tag Festival Semifinals:
Dan Tamura & Hikaru Sato vs. Ryo Inoue & Mochizuki Junior

We are LIVE from Korakuen Hall in Tokyo, Japan. I came in during the opening video so commentary will start shortly.

The paid attendance will be announced after the event. Advance ticket sales seemed pretty good, could have a chance at a sellout with good same-day walkups. Based on so far I’ll predict around 1200 depending on the setup. (UPDATE: The announced paid attendance was 1278)

The matches will begin momentarily.

The matches begin at 7:38 PM PT/10:38 PM ET. Your host is Shoji Nakamoto.

When we come back, the news update video is updates for the Champions Carnival 2026, including revealing the entrants and the blocks for the round-robin format tournament (after the “Out Run” remix music last time, back to the “Space Harrier” remix music today):

This is followed by match announcements for several dates. The 5/5 announcements are with an incorrect graphic for Talos-Kumaarashi as it has the kanji for Yuma Anzai instead of Talos.

DEVELOPING: TJPW Wrestler 3/29/2026 Appearance Cancelled

A strange breaking development that affects Tokyo Joshi Pro’s GRAND PRINCESS ’26 event on 3/29: Lei Ying Lee (fka Xia Li), who was previously confirmed for the event, is now off. Details are sketchy but it appears to be a decision made by TNA Wrestling, where Lee is currently signed to. TJPW tried to make things worked but couldn’t. TNA shared the following statement:

“TNA sincerely apologizes for Lei Ying Lee’s inability to participate in TJPW’s Ryogoku Sumo Hall show on March 29.
Neither Lee nor TJPW are at fault for this situation, and we thank TJPW for accommodating this change.
Once again, we apologize to TJPW, TJPW fans, as well as as Miyu Yamashita, Arisu Endo, and Sareee who were announced in this match with Lee, for the absence of Lei Ying Lee at the last minute for the Ryogoku Sumo Hall show which we know is very important for TJPW. We wish TJPW continued success and appreciated their partnership.”

After doing some research, one possible explanation for Lee being pulled is scheduling conflicts. TNA has their monthly PPV in the US on 3/27 (OK, technically it’s a PLE but it’s also a PPV. An el cheapo $9.99 PPV but still a PPV) and then a night of TV tapings on 3/28. If Lee is a part of those, there’s no way she can make it to Japan in time for the 3/29 event.

As for the card…she was to have teamed with Sareee to face Miyu Yamashita & Arisu Endo. Takumi Iroha is the replacement. This will apparently be the first time Iroha has appeared in TJPW.

DDT 3/11/2026 Results (Updated)

Following the shocking & sad news that Shinjuku Face in Tokyo is closing at the end of September after 21 years, DDT ran the first of what will be their final 10 events at the venue before than today. The venue’s lease is expiring but no further details are known yet.

Today’s event was held at Shinjuku Face in Tokyo and can be watched on demand on WRESTLE UNIVERSE.

The paid attendance was not announced.

Pre-show Match: Tokyo Joshi Pro match: Rika Tatsumi & Uta Takami beat Yuki Kamifuku & Kira Summer. Tatsumi pinned Summer after Missile Hip.

Shortly after that…

Match 2: HARASHIMA & Antonio Honda beat Jun Akiyama & Kazuki Hirata. Honda pinned Hirata after a HARASHIMA Blue Sword.

During the opening announcements that followed, Antonio Honda vs. Yoh (New Japan) was announced for 4/15 at Korakuen Hall. Honda announced he would defend the Iron Man Title then against Yoh. However…
GM Imabayashi beat DDT Iron Man Heavymetalweight Champion Antonio Honda to win the title. Imabayashi becomes the 1810th Champion.

Match 2: Kazuma Sumi, Naomi Yoshimura, Ryota Nakatsu & Yuki Ishida beat Daisuke Sasaki, Hideki Okatani, MJ Paul & Illusion. Yoshimura pinned Illusion after Paybacks.

Masada, Koroku & Sato become the 60th KO-D 6-Man Tag Team Champions. Masada pinned Takechi. That will not make the ladies happy. Next up: Yoshimura, Nakatsu & Ishida. That match will happen on 3/22 at Korakuen Hall. As for Imabayashi…odds are his Iron Man reign will also end on 3/22 as he will defend the title in a 1 vs. 6 Handicap Match against Honda, Minoru Suzuki, Sanshiro Takagi, Dnashoku Dieno, Super Sasadango Machine & Toru Owashi. Then we’ll see what happens because if Rika Tatsumi doesn’t steal it back that will affect Tokyo Joshi Pro’s 3/29 event as she was supposed to defend the ttile then in a battle royal. With the “Card subject to change” caveat of course. But hey, if it means Mahiro Kiryu can’t win it back I will not complain. Also, TJPW will have a pre-show match on 3/22.

The next event is Sunday at Yume Messe Miyagi in Miyagi. There will be no live broadcast. On demand on 3/18.

UPDATE: TJPW has announced whoever is champion on 3/29 will defend in the battle royal…which is now a 12 person battle royal as Tatsumi aka some weird alter-ego has been added as a challenger.

TJPW News: Street Performance Leads To Incident

First things first-this was a promotional stunt for GRAND PRINCESS ‘26 so don’t be too alarmed. Here’s what happened-as part of a “challenge” issued by event PR Ambassador Super Sasadango Machine, Tokyo Joshi Pro roomie Shion Kanzaki did a live street performance in the Shinjuku area of Tokyo where she performed her entrance theme. She did and received cheers & applause from some onlookers. Mission acocmplished. But then, a masked assailant attacked Representative President Tetsuya Koda, who was there, with a saber and beat him down. It was revealed to be Sumire Uesaka, a popular voice actress who sold out Ryogoku Kokugikan with a solo performance in 2016. Uesaka received word yesterday she is in the 10-person battle royal on 3/29 for the DDT Iron Man Heavymetalweight Championship currently held by Rika Tatsumi (POTENTIAL SPOILER ALERT-unfortunately Mahiro Kiryu is in it too) and attacked Koda as part of a promo until Kanzaki intervened.

In other words…Pro Wrestling Everybody!!!

The rest of the participants were announced last night along with the full card: Tatsumi, Kiryu, Raku, Mifu Ashida, Kira Sunmer, Chika Nanase, Sakura Hattori*, Matcha, Momo Sato, Minimo Chan (with Mari Haguchi). But as always with this title, Card Subject To Change.

The event will have 10 total matches with an intermission before the 3 title matches that will be the 8th-10th matches.

*-Soon-to-be fka Kaya Toribami after this Sunday’s event. Since last weekend’s event she announced a new name and video clips have surfaced online related to this. They can be viewed on TJPW’s YouTube channel.
