Stardom 7/26/2026 LIVE Results

Stardom continues the 5STAR GP today in Niigata. For the second straight event, only the Red blocks will be in action today and only tournament matches are currently scheduled. Among today’s highlights are a H.A.T.E. faceoff between Natsuko Tora & Rina and some interesting present vs. future matchups in Saya Iida vs. Utami Hayashishita and Sayaka Kurara vs. AZM. And, in a matchup that would be a perfect death match as both prefer hardcore to regular wrestling, there could be a crazy one that spills all over the place when Rina Yamashita faces Maki Itoh.

Today’s event will be held at Duo Cerezo in Niigata and can be watched LIVE on Stardom World. There will be no commentary. All 8 matches will have a 15 minute time limit so even with a likely intermission along the way this event probably will be on the short side with a running time of, give or take a couple minutes. roughly 2 hours.

Today’s lineup (match order TBA, all matches are 5STAR GP matches):
Red A:
Sayaka Kurara vs. AZM
Tomoka Inaba vs. Maika
Itsuki Aoki vs. Akira Kurogame
Natsuko Tora vs. Rina
Red B:
Mei Seira vs. Azusa Inaba
Lady C vs. Konami
Saya Iida vs. Utami Hayashishita
Rina Yamashita vs. Maki Itoh

DDT Pro Wrestling 7/26/2026 LIVE Results

DDT wraps up July today with their monthly Tokyo signature event. This is the last such event before WRESTLE PETER PAN, the promotion’s biggest annual event, coming up in just under 3 weeks. Today’s event has 2 title matches scheduled-first is a KO-D Tag Team Championship match with Chris Brookes & HARASHIMA defending the titles against Takeshi Masada & Yuya Koroku, then it’s a DDT Extreme Championship match with Hideki Okatani defending the title against Yuki Ishida. The stip, as chosen by the challenger, is that if Ishida loses the match and thus doesn’t win the title, he loses his hair. The main event is a WRESTLE PETER PAN planned main event preview of Yuki Ueno & Shunma Katsumata vs. MAO & KANON. However, with the two “Money In The Bank” title shot rights for the KO-D Openweight Championship out there that must be used in the next 2 months, there’s no guarantee Ueno will make it to his August title defense against MAO as champion. Or even out of today. But there’s also a right to challenge for one of the rights too so one of said rights holders may have to defend that too. The current title shot rights holders are Katsumata & Viento Levante, while the right to challenge for rights holder is Rukiya. Katsumata having the rights for now means Ueno had better watch his back today in the main event…

Today’s event will be held at Korakuen Hall in Tokyo and can be watched LIVE on WRESTLE UNIVERSE in Japanese. Miyuki Suzuki, a Japanese comedian and member of comedy group Nagon, will be a special guest on commentary. There is a pre-show match scheduled before the event so, taking that into account, this will be slightly longer than a normal Korakuen event with a probably running time of just under 3 hours.

Today’s lineup:
Pre-show:
Antonio Honda, Masami Inahata & Hinata Kasai vs. Naomi Yoshimura, Yuni & Rukiya*

Main Show:
Shinya Aoki vs. Junta Miyawaki
Minoru Suzuki & Jun Akiyama vs. Sanshiro Takagi & Danshoku Dieno
Daisuke Sasaki & Illusion vs. Yukio Naya & Viento Levante**
Kazuma Sumi, Kazuki Hirata & To-y vs. Daichi Sato, Takao Soma & O-MENZ Kumadori
KO-D Tag Team Champions Chris Brookes & HARASHIMA vs. Takeshi Masada & Yuya Koroku for the titles
DDT Extreme Champion Hideki Okatani vs. Yuki Ishida for the title. If Ishida loses, he loses his hair
Yuki Ueno & Shunma Katsumata*** vs. MAO & KANON

Refresh this page occasionally for the latest results.

Updates below will begin at 7 PM PT/10 PM ET. The pre-show match is scheduled to begin at 7:10 PM PT/10:10 PM ET. The main show will begin at 7:30 PM PT/10:30 PM ET.

*-If Yoshimura/Yuni/Rukiya lose and Rukiya is the one beaten for the loss, whoever pinned/submitted Rukiya wins the right to challenge for the title shot rights from Rukiya.
**-If Naya/Levante lose and Levante is the one beaten for the loss, whoever pinned/submitted Levante wins the right to challenge from Levante
***-if Ueno/Katsumata lose BEFORE Katsumata cashes in his title shot right IF HE DOES and if Katsumata is the one beaten for the loss, whoever pinned/submitted Katsumata wins the right to challenge from Katsumata. Whoever holds either right can cash it in for a KO-D Openweight Championship match against Ueno anytime, anywhere. So until both happen or the time limit to use them passes, “card subject to change” cannot be over-emphasized. It could even mean impromptu matches after the main event.

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

7:07 PM PT UPDATE: Live updates begin now.

We are LIVE from Korakuen Hall in Tokyo, Japan. Commentary will start in a couple minutes.

The paid attendance will not be announced after the event as they stopped doing that late last year. Not an advance sellout though.

Pre-show:
The dark match starts 2 minutes early. Your hosts are Satoshi Dairaku & Kagehiro Osano, to be joined later by Haruo Murata.

Pre-show match: Antonio Honda, Masami Inahata & Hinata Kasai vs. Naomi Yoshimura, Yuni & Rukiya. 15 minute time limit
Result: Antonio Honda, Masami Inahata & Hinata Kasai beat Naomi Yoshimura, DDT Iron Man Heavymetalweight Champion Yuni & Rukiya, when Honda pinned Rukiya to win the title. Honda becomes the 1843rd Champion.

7:20 PM PT UPDATE: End pre-show. Updates below will resume in 10 minutes.

GM Imabayashi appears before the main show begins for opening announcements before bringing out Up Up Girls from Tokyo Joshi Pro-Miu Watanabe, Raku & Uta Takami-to promote the TIF2026 featuring TJPW from 7/31-8/2.

As this wraps up, Antonio Honda gets into the ring. This can’t end well…and it doesn’t because…
Raku beat DDT Iron Man Heavymetalweight Champion Antonio Honda to win the title. Raku becomes the 1844th Champion. Now she MUST be protected from Mahiro Kiryu at all costs!

Main show:
The matches begin at 7:35 PM PT/10:35 PM ET. Your hosts are Satoshi Dairaku, Kagehiro Osano and guest Miyuki Suzuki.

Match 1: Shinya Aoki vs. Junta Miyawaki. 15 minute time limit
Result: Shinya Aoki beat Junta Miyawaki

Match 2: Minoru Suzuki & Jun Akiyama vs. Sanshiro Takagi & Danshoku Dieno. 15 minute time limit
Result: Minoru Suzuki & Jun Akiyama beat Sanshiro Takagi & Danshoku Dieno. Akiyama beat Dieno with a front neck lock. Afterwards, GM Imabayashi with microphone. Based on backstage video before the match, this probably cost Takagi a spot on the WRESTLE PETER PAN card. Although Suzuki quickly intervened and demanded a tag match with Takagi as his partner. Agreed to.

Match 3: Daisuke Sasaki & Illusion vs. Yukio Naya & Viento Levante (who needs to update his jacket, it still says Viento Maligno). 30 minute time limit
Result: Yukio Naya & Viento Levante beat Daisuke Sasaki & Illusion. Levante pinned Illusion after a diving headbutt.

Your new host is Haruo Murata.

Match 4: Kazuma Sumi, Kazuki Hirata & To-y vs. Daichi Sato, Takao Soma & O-MENZ Kumadori. 30 minute time limit
Result: Daichi Sato, Takao Soma & O-MENZ Kumadori beat Kazuma Sumi, Kazuki Hriata & To-y. Kumadori pinned Hirata. As always when Hirata was involved, this was a wacky comedy match.

Match 5: KO-D Tag Team Champions Chris Brookes & HARASHIMA vs. Takeshi Masada & Yuya Koroku for the titles. 1 Hour time limit
Result: KO-D Tag Team Champions Chris Brookes & HARASHIMA beat Takeshi Masada & Yuya Koroku to retain the titles. HARASHIMA beat Koroku with an armbar. V3 for the champs. Next up: Aoki & Miyawaki.

Match 6: DDT Extreme Champion Hideki Okatani vs. Yuki Ishida for the title. If Ishida loses, he loses his hair. 1 Hour time limit
Result: DDT Extreme Champion Hideki Okatani beat Yuki Ishida to retain the title. V4 for Okatani. As a result, Ishida loses his hair. Next up: Shunma Katsumata. Okatani called him out after the match. According to GM Imabayashi, that match will happen at WRESTLE PETER PAN.

Main Event: Yuki Ueno & Shunma Katsumata vs. MAO & KANON. 30 minute time limit
Result: Yuki Ueno & Shunma Katsumata beat MAO & KANON. Ueno beat MAO with a sleeper hold. No Katsumata cash-in afterwards.

The event wraps up with WRESTLE PETER PAN card updates (8/11 at Ryogoku Kokugikan) and it looks like the full card is set:

Tokyo Joshi Pro 7/25/2026 Results

Tokyo Joshi Pro continued the Tokyo Princess Cup today with the first half of Round 2.

Today’s event was held at Osaka Azalea Taisho in Osaka and can be watched on demand on WRESTLE UNIVERSE.

The announced paid attendance was 294, a full house/near sellout.

Match 1: Yuki Kamifuku, Mifu Ashida & Shion Kanzaki beat Haru Kazashiro, Uta Takami & Momo Sato. Kamifuku beat Sato.

Match 2: Raku beat Sakura Hattori & Ren Konatsu in a 3-way by pinning Konatsu.

Match 3: Shoko Nakajima, Yuki Aino, Pom Harajuku & Toga beat Yuki Arai, Miu Watanabe, Suzume & Mahiro Kiryu. Nakajima pinned Suzume with a Northern Lights suplex hold. That surprised me. No, I don’t expect Nakajima to challenge Suzume for the International Princess Championship anytime soon, but that Suzume got beaten here and not Kiryu qualifies as a bit of an upset.

Tokyo Princess Cup Round 2:
Match 4: Arisu Endo beat Chika Nanase by submission.
Match 5: HIMAWARI beat Wakana Uehara.
Match 6: Hyper Misao beat Mizuki. HAPPY HAPPY!!!!
Main Event: Rika Tatsumi beat Miyu Yamashita by submission. Supposedly this was their first single match in over 5 years!?! That means my second choice to win is out and thus no trilogy/rubber match with Yuki Arai at WRESTLE PRINCESS 7. Unless Arai wins and decides one more time…based on backstage comments, Yamashita may soon be heading back to England for a Pro Wrestling EVE event and title defense in August.

As a result, the first half of the Quarterfinals will be Endo vs. HIMAWARI & Misao vs. Tatsumi. The Quarterfinals are on 8/8.

The next event is Thursday at Shinjuku Face in Tokyo with the second half of the Quarterfinals. Live streaming on WRESTLE UNIVERSE will begin at 3 AM PT/6 AM ET.

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

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.

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.
