New Japan Pro Wrestling 12/14/25 LIVE Results

New Japan wraps up the World Tag League today with the Finals, which will see the winners get an IWGP Heavyweight Tag Team Championship match in the near future. Whether or not it’s at Tokyo Dome may depend on who wins between Gabriel Kidd & Yota Tsuji and Ryohei Oiwa & Zack Sabre Jr. If it’s the former, maybe not because Tsuji is already set for a major double title match on 1/4 against Konosuke Takeshita-while not unprecedented I can’t see a double happening. If Oiwa & Sabre win I think it will happen. When the whole card was announced in the last 24 hours they added 2 additional title matches-EVIL managed to talk his way into a(nother) NEVER 6-Man Tag Team Championship match so he, SANADA & Ren Narita will challenge Master Wato, Yoh & Toru Yano for the titles and perhaps try to spoil Yoh’s granted Tokyo Dome title defense. Also El Phantasmo will defend the NJPW WORLD TV Championship against TBA in what is an open challenge. And of course another Hiroshi Tanahashi final farewell to fans in the area.

Today’s event will be held at Grand Messe Kumamoto in Kumamoto and can be watched LIVE OUTSIDE JAPAN ONLY on New Japan World. This will be a live & exclusive TV Asahi broadcast in Japan, which will be simulcast on New Japan World (the stream will be blocked in Japan, including on demand until the Asahi window ends, which I think is 2-3 days then those in Japan can watch online on demand). You will also be able to watch the first 2 matches FOR FREE on YouTube, but it might just be the first one today. There are 8 matches total with the main event being no time limit for the Tag League finals, so how long it may run ould partly depend on TV but I anticipate 3 hours at a minimum.

Today’s lineup:
NJPW WORLD TV Champion El Phantasmo vs. TBA for the title (open challenge)*
Tetsuya Matsumoto, Katsuya Murashima, Boltin Oleg, YOSHI-HASHI & Hirooki Goto vs. Masatora Yasuda, Alex Zayne, Lance Archer, Satoshi Kojima & Taichi
Shoma Kato, Shuji Ishikawa & El Desperado vs. Yoshinobu Kanemaru, Don Fale & Sho
Taiji Ishimori, Drilla Moloney & Shingo Takagi vs. DOUKI, Chase Owens & Yujiro Takahashi
Yuya Uemura, Shota Umino & Hiroshi Tanahashi vs. Daiki Nagai, OSKAR (The Grouch) & Yuto Ice (Ice Baby)
Hiromu Takahashi & David Finlay vs. Callum Newman & Great-O-Khan
NEVER 6-Man Tag Team Champions Master Wato, Yoh & Toru Yano vs. Ren Narita, SANADA & EVIL for the titles
World Tag League Finals: Gabriel Kidd & Yota Tsuji vs. Ryohei Oiwa & Zack Sabre Jr.

Today’s event was held at The Circus Studio in Bangkok, Thailand and can be watched on demand as a PPV on WRESTLE UNIVERSE. The PPV costs 2500 Japanese yen (around $16 US) for monthly paid UNIVERSE subscribers and-I believe-3100 yen (around $20) for non-paid subscribers.

Match 2: Atisu Endo & Suzume beat Yuki Arai & Shino Suzuki. Suzume pinned Suzuki after Ring A Bell.

Match 3: MLW Women’s Featherweight Champion Shoko Nakajima beat Alexis Lee to retain the title. For those curious as I don’t usually count non-Japan title defenses like this, V6 for Nakajima. Afterwards, Nakajima hinted at her next defense being in Singapore, Lee’s home country.

The annual Christmas event will feature one tag match and a series of 7 7-minute single matches with random pairings determined by a drawing to be conducted by former SKE48 member and occasional UNIVERSE special guest Marika Tani. It has also been announced that HIMAWARI is off this event due to schedule conflicts. Live streaming on WRESTLE UNIVERSE will begin on 12/20 at 11 PM PT/2 AM ET.

New Japan 12/12/25 Results

Before I start with today’s first post, I send thoughts & prayers to those in northeastern Japan that have been affected by the recent string of major earthquakes this week that is continuing today, with a smaller but moderate (by US standards) one that hit closer to Tokyo. Japan is very resilient and prepared for quakes such as this, as noted by an image I saw of train structure being damaged in the Tohoku region disrupting services and how public reaction has NOT been negative, but still as an outsider and one living in the earthquake-prone US west coast it’s still concerning. Anyway, on to the wrestling…

New Japan ran the penultimate day of the World Tag League today with the second Semifinal.

Today’s event was held at Sun arena Sendai in Kagoshima and can be watched on demand on New Japan World.

The announced paid attendance was 1423.

Match 1: Daiki Nagai, Drilla Moloney & Shingo Takagi beat Tatsuya Matsumoto, YOSHI-HASHI & Hirooki Goto. Nagai pinned Matsumoto.

Match 5: Jacob Austin Young, Callum Neeman & Great-O-Khan beat Gedo, Hiromu Takahashi & David Finlay in 42 seconds. Newman pinned Gedo after Excalibur. Afterwards, Finlay demanded a rematch on Sunday.

Match 6: Hartley Jackson, Ryoheo Oiwa & Zack Sabre Jr. beat Satoshi Kojima, Taichi & El Phantasmo. Sabre pinned Kojima after a backpack driver.

Main Event: World Tag League Semifinals: Gabriel Kidd & Yota Tsuji beat OSKAR (The Grouch) & Yuto Ice (Ice Baby). Kidd pinned OSKAR after War Blaster. As a result, Kidd & Tsuni advance to the Finals to face Oiwa & Sabre and now it’s virtually guaranteed to be for an IWGP Heavyweight Tag Team Championship shot. Maybe not at Tokyo Dome if Kidd/Tsuji win though.

The Final is Sunday at Grand Messe Kumamoto in Kumamoto. Live streaming on New Japan World OUTSIDE JAPAN ONLY will begin Saturday at 10 PM PT/1 AM ET. This will be a live & exclusive TV Asahi broadcast in Japan.

In other news, it was announced that Tokyo Dome on 1/4 is now a legit advance sellout and no further tickets will be made available. What we won’t know until the day is that number and the setup-the Dome has a normal capacity of 65,000 which is primarily for baseball. The event will be broadcast live on New Japan World outside Japan and on TV Asahi in Japan.

News: Absent DDT Wrestler Returning

Good news for DDT fans and especially those of NwA Jr., their male version of Tokyo Joshi Pro’s Up Up Girls-Yuni, who has been absent since summer, will return on 12/21 and be back to full-time going forward. Yuni went on hiatus in August to focus on education, specifically university/college entrance exams and preparation. Those were successful and he will now return to the promotion next week.

As a result, the 12/21 Korakuen Hall card has been changed for his return. What was a pre-show match of Takao Soma & Kazuma Sumi vs. Daichi Sato & Rukiya will now be Soma, Sumi & Yuni vs. Sato, Rukiya & Tokokitsu Matsunaga

NEWS: GLEAT Discontinuing YouTube?

In their latest news post today, GLEAT announced that, effective December 29, they will be ending the membership aka paid channel subscription offering on YouTube. While it cost around 900 yen in Japan, it was priced higher outside Japan-in the US where this site’s administrator is located, they charged $8.99/month instead of what should have been closer to $6-7. The membership started at the beginning of this year and all live & on demand event broadcasts (most events but they also do some non-broadcasted events) were moved behind the paywall, and they promised additional members-only content. Anyone who already paid for this month’s subscription will get a full refund. Anything uploaded prior to 2025 is still available without paying.

Future plans for the channel will be announced on social media at a later date.

In other news, it was announced that Cyrus would return to the promotion on 12/31 for his first appearance in about a year. Also, announced for 1/3 is All-Japan World Junior Heavyweight Champion Atsuki Aoyagi vs. KURAMA for the title. The challenger is a masked wrestler from Mexico who is a freelancer but competes regularly in Michinoku Pro, often teaming with KUUKAI (who recently made some appearances in New Japan). Also, in post-match comments today Ashino & Sekimoto agreed to a GAORA TV Championship match, which has not been officially announced yet. Likewise, MUSASHI hinted at an All-Asia Tag Team Championship match against part of the Dragon Gate trio. (A post on Yoshiki Kato’s social media later suggested it would be Kato & ISHIN) Anzai later stated backstage that if he wins the Triple Crown on 12/31, he wants to first defend against Kikuta, who is the current Open The Dream Gate Champion in Dragon Gate, so some double title potential there. Anzai hit the ring after Miyahara’s match and got a shutdown suplex hold for his efforts.

UPDATE: It’s now official-the above All-Asia Tag Team Championship match will happen on 12/31.

Also, the All-Japan World Tag Team Championship match coming out of the Tag League Finals will happen on 1/2.

Finally, the GAORA TV Championship match of Ashino-Sekimoto will happen on 1/3.

BREAKING: Absent TJPW Wrestler Retires

Tokyo Joshi Pro has provided an update on Moka Miyamoto, who has been out the last several months due to an unspecified illness which also forced her to vacate the International Princess Championship. Unfortunately it’s not the best update-Miyamoto has decided to retire. There will be no retirement ceremony/event per her request. Really sad about this because over the last couple years she was showing a lot of improvement and that title win was a huge milestone for Miyamoto, who seemed to be heading towards a Princess Of Princess Championship reign in the next year or two. I wish her all the best in the future.

(Many TJPW wrestlers past & present, as well as regular TV/WRESTLE UNIVERSE personalities Haruo Murata & Sayoko Mita, have posted memories and well-wishes to Miyamoto on social media today as well)
