Stardom 10/3/2026 LIVE Results

Stardom runs the second half of, what is for the US, a same-day doubleheader today in Nagoya. It’s a regular house show on paper but with some build to the monthly PPV in about 3 weeks and worth watching given the recent expansion of Stars as Hanan’s faction practically doubled in size last week after her latest Wonder Of Stardom Championship defense as she prepares for the next defense against her sister Hina.

Today’s event will be held at Chunichi Hall in Nagoya and can be watched LIVE on Stardom World. The event is a legit advance sellout. There will be no commentary. There are 7 matches currently planned but be on alert for potential last-minute changes as Mei Seira was pulled from yesterday’s event and while she is on for today, plans can change. The event will probably be a standard Stardom house show running about 2 1/2 hours.

Today’s lineup (match order TBA):
Starlight Kid & Miyu Amasaki vs. Suzu Suzuki & Akira Kurogame
Natsupoi, Yuna Mizumori & Anne Kanaya vs. Maki Itoh, Kikyo Furusawa & Rian
Rina vs. Mei Seira & Rina Yamashita in a 3-way
AZM & Ema Maishima vs. Saya Kamitani & Ruaka
Natsuko Tora, Momo Watanabe & Konami vs. HANAKO, Waka Tsukiyama & Matoi Hamabe and Hazuki, Koguma & Fuwa-chan in a 3-way
Saori Anou & Aya Sakura vs. Bea Priestley & Azusa Inaba
Hanan, Saya Iida, Maika & Utami Hayashishita vs. Syuri, Hina, Lady C & Ranna Yagami

Updates below will begin at 9 PM PT/midnight ET.

Pre-show Update: As of 6 PM PT/9 PM ET Seira is still on for today’s event so we’re proceeding as if no issues.

Pre-show Update 2: You will also be able to watch the first 2 matches FOR FREE on YouTube. That looks to be the first 2 matches listed above.

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

9 PM PT UPDATE: Live updates begin now.

We are LIVE from Chunichi Hall in Nagoya, Japan. There is no commentary.

The paid attendance may or may not be announced after the event. It’s a legit advance sellout and for the first event that meant 566, so I’ll guess it’ll be around that and predict 550-575. (UPDATE: Although a legit sellout, the paid attendance was not announced)

Injury Report: The Rare Non-Wrestler Edition

We usually don’t get injury/illness updates on non-wrestlers but this is the rare exception: All-Japan has announced ring announcer Yuji Shindo is temporarily unable to perform his duties. Vocal cord leukoplateia (yeah, what?). Out at least 2 weeks. He will miss at least 4 events starting tomorrow through 10/15, That means hopefully he will be back for the tour-ender on 10/22 at Korakuen Hall in Tokyo.

DDT 10/1/2026 Results

DDT began their October schedule with a hybrid theater/wrestling comedy event in Tokyo called “MUSCLE&”.

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

The paid attendance was not announced.

There were last minute changes to the event due to Kaisei Takechi being pulled off the event. The always vague poor health. Kazuki Hirata was the replacement.

This started as what was supposed to be a 2.5 hour training course, under the “tutelage” of former wrestler Meiko Satomura, now President of Sendai Girls (she also is a co-founder of the promotion). The “students” were KANON, Takeshi Masada, Hirata (as Kaisei Takechi) & Illusion.

For the first course, Yuki Ueno was the instructor. This was about being a villain/heel.

The next course featured Viento Levante, To-y and Yuni with the instructor being a big surprise-El Desperado (New Japan). Everyone then beat down Desperado and tried to unmask him but Satomura made the save. Which led to…

Match 1: Yuni beat Yuki Ishida.

Match 2: To-y & Illusion beat Yuya Koroku & Masami Inahata. To-y pinned Inahata.

Match 3: El Desperado & Viento Levante beat Yuki Ueno & Kazuma Sumi. Levante pinned Sumi.

Match 4: KANON vs. Daichi Sato went to a 10 minute time limit draw.

Main Event: Hideki Okatani & “Kaisei Takechi” (Kazuki Hirata) beat Takeshi Masada & Hinata Kasai. Okatani pinned Kasai after a vertical drop brainbuster.

Afterwards the class concluded with a surprise reward for the top 3 students…a KO-D Openweight Championship shot RIGHT NOW!!! Which led to…

Impromptu Match: KO-D Openweight Champion MAO beat Takeshi Masada, Viento Levante & Hinata Kasai in a 4-way elimination match, last eliminating Levante by KO, to retain the title. V5 for MAO. Order of elimination: Kasai by Masada, Masada by MAO, Levante by MAO. And that was the event.

The next event is Sunday at Higashiyodogawa Ward Civic Hall in Osaka, which will also feature a match of Uuki Ueno vs. Masami Inahata to crown a new DDT Iron Man Heavymetalweight Champion following it being vacated by prior champion Shinjuku Face after it’s closing today. There will be no live broadcast. On demand Tuesday.

Injury Report: Not Magnificent

Stardom has announced an injury absence from upcoming events-Ami Sohrei was recently injured and is now out of action. Unspecified beyond treatment. Out indefinitely starting with tomorrow’s event. The promotion waited to announce this weekend’s cards so no changes are needed There’s no word on how long Sohrei may be out but Stardom will announce when she will return so this sounds like at least a couple weeks.

More as it becomes available.

Shinjuku Face Final Event Results (9/30/2026)

The sad end of an era has finally come as iconic Tokyo venue Shinjuku Face has now closed after 21 1/2 years following its final event today, a CyberFight produced event with participation from several promotions, independent and major.

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

The paid attendance has not been announced but it’s safe to assume it was a legit sellout of 500.

Match 1: Masami Inahata (DDT) & Shota Kofuji (All-Japan) beat Illusion (DDT) & Homare (Dragon Gate). Inahata pinned Illusion after a double-arm suplex.

Match 2: Brahman Kei won a 22 person battle royal, last eliminating Shuji Kondo. Entrants were not announced in advance. Elimination by pinfall, submission or over top rope. Order of elimination: Sanshiro Takagi, Ken Ohka, Cohaku, Minoru Suzuki, Shinsuke Nakamura (WWE-yes, THE Shinsuke Namaura!), Yumi (Yumi Ohka), Yumehito Imanari, Isami Kodaka, ?, Makoto Oishi, Toru Owashi, ? & ? (team), Brahman Shu, Dick Togo, Sakura Hirota, Antonio Honda, Suwama, Kazuki Hirata, Syuri, Shuji Kondo.

Afterwards…
Yuka Ogawa beat DDT Iron Man Heavymetalweight Champion Sanshiro Takagi to win the title. Ogawa becomes the 1913th Champion.

Match 3: MAO, Yuki Ueno & Chris Brookes (DDT) beat Dragon Kid (Dragon Gate), Yuma Aoyagi (All-Japan) & Kuroshio TOKYO Japan (Independent/Freelancer). MAO pinned Japan after a 450 splash.

Main Event: Aja Kong (OZ Academy) & Chihiro Hashimoto (Sendai Girls) beat Mayumi Ozaki (OZ Academy) & Sareee (Independent/Freelancer). Kong & Hashimoto won by letting Yuka Ogawa pin Ozaki. This was a comedy brawl everywhere with everyone getting involved. Afterwards, everyone gathered in the ring for the final send-off to the venue, with one final symbolic gesture…

Yuka Ogawa awarded the DDT Iron Man Heavymetalweight Championship to Shinjuku Face. Shinjuku Face becomes the 1914th Champion. The title belt was left in the ring attached to the ropes. Due to the venue now being closed, DDT announced the title is now VACANT. But a fitting end nonetheless.

MANY THANKS FACE…

Injury Report: The Rampage Not As The Rampage

This is DDT as DDT of course but there is an injury/illness update here as Kaisei Takechi, much to the dismay of the female fanbase, is briefly out of action. The always vague poor health. Out tomorrow. He was to have appeared as an alternate version of himself. Kazuki Hirata is the replacement. Hopefully Takechi won’t miss any more events as the next event is Sunday and he does work a part-time DDT schedule.

Note Regarding 9/30/2026 Shinjuku Face Finale Results (Updated)

Tomorrow (9/30/2026) will be the final event ever at Shinjuku Face in Tokyo before the venue closes afterwards. Results for the event will be posted late in the day as they probably won’t be readily available online but since it’s CyberFight produced the event will be streamed live & on demand on WRESTLE UNIVERSE. Due to the 2:30 AM PT start time, I will watch the event in the evening and post results as I go, so anticipate a results post beginning at or around 5:30 PM PT/8:30 PM ET.

UPDATE: As of 8 AM PT/11 AM ET today (9/30/2026) the venue has officially closed.

2 early notes for results, which came post-event:

Yuka Ogura beat DDT Iron Man Heavymetalweight Champion Sanshiro Takagi to win the title. Ogura becomes the 1913th Champion. Ogura was the manager of Shinjuku Face. Then finally, and very fittingly…

Shinjuku Face beat DDT Iron Man Heavymetalweight Champion Yuka Ogura to win the title. Shinjuku Face becomes the 1914th Champion. But due to the closing, the title is now VACANT. I would have been cool if they just ended the title lineage there as a final thank you to the venue for 21 1/2 years of memories.
