Aja Kong 40th Anniversary Event Results (5/16/2026)

Perhaps the greatest Japanese women’s wrestler ever (or at worst it’s between her & Manami Toyota, at least in my book), Aja Kong has slowed down a lot the last decade or so but is still going strong and, this past weekend, celebrated her 40th Anniversary in wrestling with a special event.

Saturday’s event was held at Toyosaki Chura SUN Beach Multi-Purpose Plaza in Okinawa (an outdoor venue). There was no live broadcast and there were no broadcast plans at all but, thanks to an “emergency decision” a couple days ago, it can now be watched on demand on WRESTLE UNIVERSE. There is Japanese commentary for the first match only. There is no commentary for the main card. The ring announcer’s voice you might recognize as it’s the same guy who does the card announcement video narration for select Pro Wrestling NOAH events.

The paid attendance was not announced.

Pre-show match: Tochigi Pro Wrestling Match: Satsuki Nagao & Mitsuhisa Sanabe beat Takumi Baba & Shoki Kitamura. Nagao pinned Kitamura with a German suplex hold.

The event opened with a greeting from Aja Kong.

Match 2: Sayaka Unagi & Momoka Hanazono beat Sakura Hirota & Mitsuki Kato. Unagi pinned Hirota. Comedy match.

Main Event: Aja Kong 40th Anniversary Match: Aja Kong, Kaori Yoneyama, Ryo Mizunami & Hikaru Shida beat Yuki Kamifuku, Saori Anou, Veny & Nagisa Nozaki. Kong pinned Kamifuku after a spinning backfist. The entrances were cut out due to music rights. Maya Yukihi, who is out long-term due to injuries, seconded the losers.

The event & broadcast ended with Kong’s backstage/post-event comments.

Regarding Aja Kong 40th Anniversary Event Results (5/16/2026)

I had been hoping to already have results from the Aja Kong 40th Anniversary event that took place on 5/16 but haven’t been able to find them yet. But some good news on that front from Kong herself-thanks to an EMERGENCY DECISION today the full event will now be available on demand on WRESTLE UNIVERSE Wednesday, so results will be up later this week once I have a chance to watch. There was going to be no broadcast at all so lucky us. (Some ring entrances will be muted due to music rights)
