Sumo-November 2025 Grand Sumo Tournament Day 14 Results (11/22/25) (Top 2 Tiers)
Here are the quick results from today’s Day 14-the penultimate day-of the November 2025 Grand Sumo Tournament in Fukuoka:
Key: M-Maegashira, K-Komusubi, S-Sekiwake, O-Ozeki, Y-Yokozuna, J-Juryo
Makuuchi (top tier):
Fujinokawa (M12) beat Asakoryu (M17)
Tomokaze (M12) beat Meisei (M18)
Gonoyama (M13) beat Shishi (M11)
Chiyoshoma (M17) beat Roga (M11)
Daieisho (M10) beat Nishikifuji (M15)

Ichiyamamoto (M8) beat Yoshinofuji (M5)
Oshoumi (M16) beat Hiradoumi (M3)
Ura (M3) beat Tobizaru (M9)
Kirishima (M2) beat Tokihayate (M14)
Wakamotoharu (M2) beat Midorifuji (M9)
Hakuoho (M1) beat Tamawashi (M4)
Churanoumi (M7) beat Wakatakakage (M1)
Takanosho (K) beat Oshoma (M4)
Takayasu (K) beat Atamifuji (M6)
Oho (S) beat Shodai (M5)
Kotozakura (O) beat Onosato (Y)
Aonishiki (S) beat Hoshoryu (Y)
Leader: Onosato, Hoshoryu, Aonishiki (11-3)
Of note: The championship scenarios tomorrow are simple-if Aonishiki beats Kotozakura, there will be a playoff against the Onosato-Hoshoryu winner. If Aonishiki loses, the Yokozuna Showdown tomorrow is for the championship. Kotozakura protected his Ozeki rank again with an 8th win today but continues a disappointing year where he has mainly started good but really slumped in the second week, but this time there may have been some injury concerns coming in and even brief rumblings he might sit out.
Ozeki Watch-Aonishiki has his 11 wins so that streak remains intact. If he wins the championship tomorrow, there is a chance of promotion. If he doesn’t, he’s looking at needing 10 or 11 wins in January. 10 if he wins tomorrow, 11 if he loses.
Juryo:
Nishinoryu (J9) beat Tsurugisho (J11)
Takerufuji (J7) beat Asasuiryu (J12)
Himukamaru (J13) beat Kotokuzan (J6)
Tohakuryu (J10) beat Nishikigi (J6)
Harsuyama (J5) beat Hakuyozan (J10)
Tochitaikai (J5) beat Hidenoumi (J9)
Kitanowaka (J12) beat Kagayaki (J4)
Asanoyama (J4) beat Fujiryoga (J13)
Tamashoho (J11) beat Daiseizen (J3)
Kotoeiho (J2) beat Wakanosho (J14)
Asahakuryu (J2) beat Shirokuma (J7)
Kayo (J8) beat Hitoshi (J1)
Fujiseiun (J1) beat Kazekeno (J8)
Leader: Fujiryoga (12-2)
Of note: Despite the loss today, Fujiryoga still controls his destiny. If he wins tomorrow or Asanoyama loses, he is the champion. If Fujiryoga loses and Asanoyama wins, there will be a playoff rematch. The only thing Fujiryoga probably lost today was any real chance at promotion to the top tier in January. 13-2 and a title probably means J1. 12-3 should mean J2 or J3 with a championship, maybe J4 without. With this win, I feel confident saying Asanoyama will be promoted back to the top tier in January between 11-3 so far at J4 and pending demotions ahead of him (and those not being promoted-Hitoshi will be major demoted, stablemate Asahakuryu will be promoted, Daiseizan needs to win tomorrow otherwise it’s a toss-up but with 9 wins at J3 I lean towards no, Kotoeiho will go back up with a win tomorrow but toss-up if he loses, Fujiseiun clinched promotion today).
Lower tier notes: No match for Enho today as expected, His final match will be tomorrow, he has already clinched promotion at 4-2 and will stay in Makushita in January, but 5-2 can mean a bigger move up and a better chance at Juryo promotion in March.
Reminder: NHK World Japan will have 90 minutes of LIVE top tier coverage of the Final Day FOR FREE, including the championship matches, playoff if necessary, awards ceremony and champion’s interview, beginning TONIGHT at 11:30 PM PT/2:30 AM ET. All top tier matches will be streamed LIVE on NHK World Premium beginning at 11 PM PT/2 AM ET (it is available in the US on participating cable/satellite providers or by subscribing to Jme TV, which currently has a discount promotion on paid subscriptions or you may be able to get a 5 day free trial without the promos). I will be trying to do LIVE results of the top 2 tiers, including Juryo, beginning at 8 PM PT/11 PM ET. Depending on the order of matches, this may include the Jonidan playoff.
Tokyo Joshi Pro Wrestling 11/22/25 Results
Tokyo Joshi Pro ran a Uta Takami hometown event today in Ishikawa for the first time today in her young career.
Today’s event was held at Kanazawa Distribution Hall in Ishikawa and will be available on demand on WRESTLE UNIVERSE Tuesday. There was no live broadcast. I hoped to do near-live results earlier but results were not provided.
The announced paid attendance was 256, a full house/near sellout.
Match 1: Shino Suzuki beat Ren Konatsu by submission.
Match 2: Suzume beat Mifu Ashida.
Match 3: Rika Tatsumi, Raku & Pom Harajuku beat Hyper Misao, DDT Iron Man Heavymetalweight Champion Mahiro Kiryu & Kaya Toribami, with Tatsumi beating Kiryu to win the title. Tatsumi becomes the 1786th Champion.

Match 5: Yuki Kamifuku & Wakana Uehara beat Yuki Aino & Chika Nanase. Uehara pinned Nanase after Sushi Tornado.

The next event is a doubleheader Monday (tomorrow night US time) at Itabashi Green Hall in Tokyo. There will be no live broadcasts. On demand Thursday for the first event and Friday for the second event.
In other news, the promotion announced the next challenger for the MLW Women’s Featherweight Championship held by Nakajima will be Alexis Lee. That match will happen on 12/13 in Bangkok, Thailand. Also announced for that event is IWA Japan SETUP World Tag Team Champions Miyu Yamashita & Kaya Toribami vs. Raku & Pom Harajuku for the titles.
All-Japan Pro Wrestling 11/22/25 LIVE Results
All-Japan kicks off the 2025 World’s Strongest Tag League aka Real World Tag League today in Tokyo, the promotion’s annual year-end openweight tag team tournament. It’s going to look a lot different this year as the Saitos are not taking part as Jun Saito opted to voluntarily withdraw and not participate because brother & partner Rei Saito remains out long-term due to injury. That also means it’s more wide open. Most of the field for the round-robin format tournament will be in tournament action today including current All-Japan World Tag Team Champions Xyon & Odyssey, who will eventually defend the titles against the tournament winners if they do not win. Also a notable main event will see the Aoyagi brothers on opposite sides as Yuma Aoyagi teams with Yuma Anzai against Atsuki Aoyagi & Rising Hayato.
Today’s event will be held at Korakuen Hall in Tokyo and can be watched LIVE on AJPW.TV in Japanese. The event will also be taped for broadcast on GAORA SPORTS in Japan in about a week. All the matches including a non-tournament match have a 30 minute time limit and there’s an intermission at the halfway point so it probably will wind up having an “average” Korakuen running time of about 2 1/2 hours (although the GAORD broadcast is scheduled for 3+ hours, that would also assume every match goes the distance and the longest possible time of about 3 1/2 hours).
Today’s lineup:
Tag League:
Block B: Xyon & Odyssey vs. Takashi & Kuroshio TOKYO Japan
Block A: Shotaro Ashino & Go Shiozaki vs. Hokuto Omori & Kumaarashi
Jun Saito, MUSASHI & Seiki Yoshioka vs. Dan Tamura, Ryo Inoue & Shota Kofuji
Intermission
Tag League:
Block A: Hideki Suzuki & Kengo Mashimo vs. Ren Ayabe & Talos
Block B: Kento Miyahara & Davey Boy Smith Jr. vs. Ryuki Honda & Naoya Nomura

Refresh this page occasionally for the latest results.
Updates below will begin at 6:30 PM PT/9:30 PM ET. The live stream is scheduled to begin 10 minutes before the event.
6:20 PM PT UPDATE: The live stream has begun. We should be going to the venue in just under 10 minutes.
6:25 PM PT UPDATE: Live updates begin now.
We are LIVE from Korakuen Hall in Tokyo, Japan. Commentary will begin in a few minutes.
The paid attendance will be announced after the event. It’s just under the “new normal” full capacity setup as commentary is in the bleacher seats opposite hard camera. While not an advance sellout from what I know the crowd already looks good, I’ll predict a potential near-sellout of around 1200. (UPDATE: The announced paid attendance was 1327)
The matches should begin in 10-15 minutes. During opening announcements they bring out Rei Saito after announcing he will be a guest on commentary today for AJPW.TV.
The event begins with the tag league opening ceremony, where all the participating teams are introduced in the ring.
As it was ending, Kuroshio TOKYO Japan took out Xyon & Odyssey outside the ring, leading to…

Sumo-November 2025 Grand Sumo Tournament Day 13 Results (11/21/25)
Here are the quick results from today’s Day 13-Championship Day-of the November 2025 Grand Sumo Tournament in Fukuoka:
Key: M-Maegashira, K-Komusubi, S-Sekiwake, O-Ozeki, Y-Yokozuna, J-Juryo, Ms-Makushita, Sd-Sandanme, Jd-Jonidan, Jk-Jonokuchi
Makuuchi (top tier):
Gonoyama (M13) beat Meisei (M18)
Oshoumi (M16) beat Tomokaze (M12)
Sadanoumi (M16) beat Shishi (M11)
Asakoryu (M17) beat Kotoshoho (M10)
Daieisho (M10) beat Chiyoshima (M17)
Tobizaru (M9) beat Shonannoumi (M15)
Mitakeumi (M13) beat Midorifuji (M9)
Ryuden (M14) beat Kinbozan (M8)
Ichiyamamoto (M8) beat Roga (M11)
Fujinokawa (M12) beat Abi (M7)
Yoshinofuji (M5) beat Tokihayate (M14)
Hiradoumi (M3) beat Churanoumi (M7)
Wakamotoharu (M2) beat Onokatsu (M6)
Kirishima (M2) beat Atamifuji (M6)
Tamawashi (M4) beat Wakatakakage (M1)
Ura (M3) beat Hakuoho (M1)
Takayasu (K) beat Nishikifuji (M15)
Takanosho (K) beat Shodai (M5)
Oho (S) beat Oshoma (M4)
Hoshoryu (Y) beat Kotozakura (O)
Onosato (Y) beat Aonishiki (S)
Leader: Onosato, Hoshoryu (11-2)
Of note: He now trails the Yokozuna pair but it’s not over yet for Aonishiki despite the loss. He does have to beat Hoshoryu tomorrow to spoil a second straight Yokozuna Showdown for the championship though, and it would help him a lot if Kotozakura can beat Onosato.
Juryo:
Asasuiryu (J12) beat Kitanowaka (J12)
Wakanosho (J14) beat Hidenoumi (J9)
Kayo (J8) beat Tsurugisho (J11)
Nishinoryu (J9) beat Takerufuji (J7)
Nishikigi (J6) beat Hakuyozan (J10)
Tochitaikai (J5) beat Himukamaru (J13)
Asanoyama (J4) beat Tamashoho (J11)
Hatsuyama (J5) beat Kagayaki (J4)
Fujiryoga (J13) beat Daiseizan (J3)
Asahakuryu (J2) beat Kazekeno (J8)
Kotoeiho (J2) beat Kotokuzan (J6)
Fujiseiun (J1) beat Shirokuma (J7)
Tohakuryu (J10) beat Hitoshi (J1)
Leader: Fujiryoga (12-1)
Of note: It’s now all but Fujiryoga’s championship, he just has to win tomorrow…but his opponent tomorrow just happens to be Asanoyama. If he loses his last 2, worst-case is a playoff. It could be a 3-way as Hatsuyama is also 10-3 and still with a chance. At 10-3 I think Asanoyama will now be promoted back to the top tier but he may need one more win. Regardless of Asanoyama’s result, it’s been a great tournament for Takasago Beya as all three of their Juryo men have now clinched promotion and it looks like Asahakuryu is headed to the top tier as well. And Wakanosho made the most of his second chance in Juryo by also clinching promotion today and protecting his spot.
Makushita:
Kazuma (Ms15) beat Ryusho (Ms24). KAZUMA MAKUSHITA YUSHO!!! 3rd career championship, 1st Makushita. Based on his rank, there is a chance he will be promoted to Juryo in January.
No match for Enho today, the schedule suggests his last match will be on the Final Day Sunday.
Sandanme:
Kaki (Sd31) beat Chiyoraizan (Sd44). KAKI SANDANME YUSHO!!! 3rd championship, 3rd straight, 1st Sandanme, all in just 3 career tournaments with a near-perfect 20-1 record and 14 straight wins. Will be promoted to Makushita. Sounds like a certain Sekiwake right now.
Jonidan:
Ryuho (Jd45) beat Takahara (Jd85)
Kakueizan (Jd12) beat Wakaterumoto (Jd6). PLAYOFF!!! And the rarest of them too-between stablemates! Both are Otowayama Beya men meaning the former Kakuryu gets to watch two of his wrestlers compete for the championship. That playoff will happen on the Final Day.
Jonokuchi:
Goseiryu (Jk21) beat Fujinoteru (Jk9) GOSEIRYU JONOKUCHI YUSHO!!! 1st career championship. And…RARE KIMARITE ALERT!!! We probably won’t get to see the video but he won by a rare technique I haven’t seen before-ushiromotare, backward lean out. A video demonstrating the move is available on NHK World Japan’s YouTube channel.
Reminder-NHK World Japan will have 50 minutes of LIVE top tier coverage FOR FREE tomorrow at 12:10 AM PT/3:10 AM ET.
