DDT 9/13/2026 LIVE Results

DDT runs the first of two Tokyo signature monthly events today, this one being a Yuki Ueno 10th Anniversary event. One of the former prospects of the short-lived DNA sub-label project from the mid-2010s along with Naomi Yoshimura, Ueno has become, especially over the last 2-3 years, easily the top star in the promotion as part of The37Kamiina and more recently a dominant 2-time KO-D Openweight Champion. And, perhaps appropriately, his match today will be against factionmate Shunma Katsumata which is a NON-TITLE match.

While there are no title matches scheduled, time is running out for the second “Money In The Bank” KO-D Openweight Championship title shot right to be used, which is currently held by Chris Brookes while Viento Levante has the right to challenge for the right. Levante is not currently on the card but Brookes is so he could lose his rights if beaten.

Today’s event will be held at Korakuen Hall in Tokyo and can be watched LIVE on WRESTLE UNIVERSE in Japanese. Shota Sonoda & Momoyoko Nakajima of Dow 90000 and Minamikawa, a comedian who co-starred with Ueno in a TV/movie role, will be the special guests on commentary. There is a pre-show match scheduled to start unusually early so with that taken into consideration this probably will be a longer Korakuen event than usual with a running time of around 3 1/4 hours.

Today’s lineup:
Pre-show:
Minoru Suzuki vs. Sanshiro Takagi, Kuroshio TOKYO Japan, Chris Brookes & Takeshi Masada in a Falls Count Anywhere 5-way*

Main show:
Naomi Yoshimura vs. Yuki Ishida
6 team staggered entry battle royal
HUB, Yasu Urano & Daisuke Sasaki vs. Illusion, Yuni & Daichi Sato
Shinya Aoki vs. HARASHIMA & Akito in a 3-way
MAO & Yoshihiko vs. Kazuki Hirata & Kaisei Takechi
Konosuke Takeshita & To-y vs. Chihiro Hashimoto & Kazuma Sumi
Yuki Ueno vs. Shunma Katsumata

Pro Wrestling NOAH 9/12/2026 Results

Pro Wrestling NOAH kicked off the annual N-1 VICTORY Tournament today in Tokyo.

Today’s event was held at Korakuen Hall in Tokyo and can be watched on demand on WRESTLE UNIVERSE in English. This was an exclusive ABEMA live broadcast in Japan.

The announced paid attendance was 1492. I’m calling that a super full house/very near sellout even though the promotion didn’t.

And before we get started…prediction time! The promotion did a fan poll on Japanese social media where fans were asked to pick who would win each block but not necessarily the tournament. Their picks? The overwhelming Block A pick was Kaito Kiyomiya. The Block B pick by a much narrower margin was OZAWA. Make note!

All matches were N-1 VICTORY matches.

Match 1: Block A: Yoshiki Iinamura beat Yuki Iino.

Match 2: Block B: Masa Kitamiya beat Tetsuya Endo.

Match 3: Block A: Shane Haste Beat Kazuyuki Fujita.

Match 4: Block B: Manabu Soya beat KENTA.

Match 5: Block A: Chen beat Takashi Sugiura.

Match 6: Block B: Titus Slexander beat Kenoh.

Match 7: Block A: Kaito Kiyomiya beat Alpha Wolf.

Main Event: Block B: OZAWA beat Kouga (Yu Owada/Owadasan). The obvious question: Is fka Owadasan still Team 2000X or, based on pre-tournament presser comments, did he turn back face? We’ll see based on post-event comments.

Day 2 is Monday at Okayama Convention Center 1st Floor Event Hall in Okayama. Live streaming on WRESTLE UNIVERSE will begin at 2:30 AM PT/5:30 AM ET.

Match 6: Artist Of Stardom Champions Thekla, Julia Hart & Skye Blue beat Aya Sakura, Natsupoi & Yuna Mizumori by TKO to retain the titles. Blue beat Sakura. V1 for the champs. That’s still an upset to me given the All Elite Wrestling trio retained. Next up: Possibly Hazuki, Koguma & Fuwa-chan.

Match 7: Goddesses Of Stardom Champions AZM & Miyu Amasaki beat Momo Watanabe & Saya Kamitani to retain the titles. AZM pinned Watanabe after Numero Uno. V3 for the champs.

Match 8: Wonder Of Stardom Champion Hanan beat Ami Sohrei to retain the title. V3 for Hanan. Next up: Ruaka.

Main Event: World Of Stardom Champion Suzu Suzuki beat Natsuko Tora to retain the title. V2 for Suzuki. Next up: If Suzuki gets what she wants, Starlight Kid, who is currently in Mexico.

Rina and post-5STAR GP title decision? We’re still waiting.

The next event is 9/19 at Yumeminato Tower Multipurpose Hall in Tochigi. There will be no live broadcast. On demand at a later date. No live broadcasts next weekend then it’s all live the rest of the month.
