January 17, 2026

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “THE 6TH “FUTARI WA PRINCESS” MAX HEART TOURNAMENT”, 17/01/2026
Yokohama Radiant Hall
273 Fans – Super No Vacancy Full House

1. Yuki Aino, Haru Kazashiro & Mahiro Kiryu defeated Suzume, Arisu Endo & Shion Kanzaki when Aino pinned Kanzaki with the Venus DDT (11:30).
2. Yuki Kamifuku, Wakana Uehara & Toga defeated Miu Watanabe, Rika Tatsumi & Sara Phoenix when Kamifuku pinned Phoenix with the Famouser (11:04).
3. “Futari wa Princess” Max Heart Tournament – Round 1: Mizuki & Uta Takami defeated Kira Summer & Chika Nanase when Takami submitted Nanase with the Koala Clutch (9:42).
4. “Futari wa Princess” Max Heart Tournament – Round 1: Max The Impaler & Pom Harajuku defeated Raku & Ren Konatsu when Max pinned Konatsu with a Short-Range Lariat (6:37).
5. “Futari wa Princess” Max Heart Tournament – Round 1: Yuki Arai & Mifu Ashida defeated HIMAWARI & Shino Suzuki when Ashida pinned Suzuki with the German Suplex (11:06).
6. “Futari wa Princess” Max Heart Tournament – Round 1: Miyu Yamashita & Kaya Toribami defeated Shoko Nakajima & Hyper Misao when Toribami pinned Misao with a Crushed La Magistral Cradle (14:33).

The 6th annual Max Heart Tournament kicked off with a bang. Last year’s winners Kyoraku Kyomei knew they were given a tough challenge when they were drawn against K!SS// (Kick Slash) in the 1st Round and promised to fight fair. That was obviously a lie and Hyper Misao blinded her opponents with the Hero Spray. Miyu Yamashita launched a counter attack but Shoko Nakajima cut her off with a big Diving Senton onto the ring apron to keep her away. That left Misao to fight it out with Kaya Toribami and it all went wrong for the hero when Toribami blocked La Magistral Cradle and pinned Misao down for the three count, eliminating Kyoraku Kyomei in the opening round! After the match K!SS// they have a lot more potential to show and they will finish off the rest of the opposition with their kicks. Toribami is also feeling incredibly happy because today is the first time she won a tournament match and not get immediately knocked out of the running. They will now face Daisy Monkey in Round 2. Kyoraku Kyomei are disappointed with the loss and think they may have become too careless. They promise to pull themselves together in order to chase after the Princess Tag Team Titles again. Nakajima also spoke about wanting to challenge K!SS// for the IWA Japan SETUP World Tag Team Titles.

It’s been a good week for Mifu Ashida. She got to meet Kenta Kobashi at the Tokyo Sports Awards ceremony and he gave her his endorsement online through his Twitter account. Even Shino Suzuki couldn’t help but tell the audience about the 500 follower increase Ashida got from it while doing her tour guide spot during the match today. Ashida then went on to get the win for her team by pinning Suzuki with the German Suplex after Yuki Arai threw HIMAWARI aside with the Full Nelson Buster. The Kyoto Tag (they made a Kyoto Tower pose but are happy to just be called Kyoto Tag for now) will advance to meet Ober Eats in Round 2. Their fighting spirit is already burning for the match. If they are able to win that, they promise to give everyone a huge announcement afterwards. One that will require a press conference. Bumping gRitters are frustrated over the loss especially since they were able to beat Ashida before. They learned they still have a long way to go to get stronger.

It is business as usual for Pompaler. At the start of their match Pom Harajuku was happy to be with Max The Impaler again and Max was happy to throw Pom at the opposition again. Raku & Ren Konatsu didn’t have much of a chance here. Max ended up pinning Konatsu with a Short-Range Lariat and then took her sheep toy away as a prize. They’re going to fight Daydream next in Round 2. Harajuku thinks they can make it to the final again this year and this time win the tournament. Konatsu said the match was scary and felt like a nightmare. She and Raku will need to sleep more to get sweet dreams again and gather together bigger sheep.

You just know the combination of Mizuki & Uta Takami is going to be a handful for any team in having to fight them this year. Kira Summer & Chika Nanase put up a good effort but couldn’t match their misfit energy. Instead Mizuki was able to knock Summer away with a Missile Dropkick while Takami pulled down Nanase with the Koala Clutch to make her submit. Mizuki told Takami that tag teams make her feel special even if they are only being paired together for this year’s tournament because they didn’t have other partners available. She wants them to aim high and believes they can do so if they work hard together rather then if Takami just follows Mizuki’s lead. Takami promised to do her best to stand alongside Mizuki. That will be put to the test when they face Shunrai Rekka!! Prism Greed, a team with a similar kind of dynamic in Round 2. Meanwhile Nanase was upset because she is always losing matches when it matters. Summer had to console her and Nanase promised she will stop looking down on herself. She wants to stop losing and win the next time she is in this tournament.

Four established teams have a buy into the 2nd Round while the other eight entries need to fight through the opening day to advance. Toga is not taking part in the tournament because she will be focusing on her upcoming International Princess Title shot.

The other possible candidates are Daydream and Daisy Monkey. There is also a chance for Miyu Yamashita to be the first two-time winner but with two different partners.

– Ober Eats (Yuki Kamifuku & Wakana Uehara)
– Daydream (Miu Watanabe & Rika Tatsumi)
– Daisy Monkey (Suzume & Arisu Endo)

DDT “D GENERATIONS 7” Results

January 12, 2026

DDT “D GENERATIONS 7”, 12/01/2026
Tokyo Shinagawa Prince Hotel Club eX
??? Fans – Unannounced

1. Special Tag Match: Daichi Sato & Ryoma Tsukamoto defeated Bomber Tatsuya & Jewel Bird when Sato pinned Bird with the Mad Splash (10:42).
2. Special Single Match: Junta Miyawaki defeated Demus with the Sunshine School Boy (12:20).
3. D GENERATIONS CUP 2026 – B Block: Yuya Koroku (4) defeated Yuni (2) with the Modified Triangle Lancer (9:19).
4. D GENERATIONS CUP 2026 – B Block: Rukiya (4) defeated Takeshi Masada (2) with the Proto Bomb (11:47).
5. D GENERATIONS CUP 2026 – A Block: Yuki Ishida (2) defeated Ilusion (0) with the Ensho (12:04).
6. D GENERATIONS CUP 2026 – A Block: To-y (2) defeated Kazuma Sumi (2) with the Kojima In Wonderland ~Kojima Wonderland~ (12:20).

A Block

1. Daichi Sato (2)
-. To-y (2)
-. Kazuma Sumi (2)
-. Yuki Ishida (2)
5. Ilusion (0)

B Block

1. Yuya Koroku (4)
-. Rukiya (4)
3. Yuni (2)
-. Takeshi Masada (2)
5. Hinata Kasai (0)

A DDT doubleheader at Shinagawa Prince Hotel began with a D GENERATIONS show continuing on with their tournament. To-y was the last wrestler to leave the starting block but quickly caught up by winning his first match in the A Block. He called Kazuma Sumi a strong and incredibly fast opponent but also said no matter how many times they fight each other, it will always be To-y left standing in the end. In the other A Block match, Ilusion used some of the KO-D 10-Man Tag Team Title belts to tie Daisuke Kiso to the corner so he could cheat even further against Yuki Ishida. However Ishida relied on his sumo skills to get out of trouble and beat Ilusion to get two points on the board. He called Ilusion a noisy bug and can now move past him to focus on reaching the final.

The B Block currently has Yuya Koroku and Rukiya leading the pack early. Rukiya sent a loud message to everyone else by beating Takeshi Masada for the first time. He feels he can definitely reach the finals if he can win his next match. Masada is upset over today for a couple of reasons. First his goal of getting a perfect sweep in the block has failed. Also he is unhappy that the show failed to sell out unlike the other DDT show that took place later that evening. Koroku dodged Yuni’s Phoenix Splash to beat him with the Triangle Lancer. He said he has a theme in mind for this tournament and is sticking to it to get the desired results.

DDT “DDT NEW YEAR☆DOTABATA FESTIVAL 2026” Results

January 10, 2026

DDT “DDT NEW YEAR☆DOTABATA FESTIVAL 2026”, 10/01/2026
Osaka Azalea Taisho Hall
??? Fans – Unannounced

1. D GENERATIONS CUP 2026 – B Block: Takeshi Masada (2) defeated Hinata Kasai (0) with the Manburi (6:42).
2. D GENERATIONS CUP 2026 – B Block: Rukiya (2) defeated Yuni (2) with the Proto Bomb (6:52).
3. Harimao Vs DAMNATION T.A!: Kazusada Higuchi, Naomi Yoshimura & Yuki Ishida defeated Hideki Okatani, MJ Paul & Ilusion when Ishida pinned Ilusion with the Ensho (7:16).
4. Special 6-Man Tag Match: Chris Brookes, HARASHIMA & Antonio Honda defeated Sanshiro Takagi, Jun Akiyama & Yuya Koroku when Honda pinned Koroku after the Somato from HARASHIMA (6:54).
5. Akito & Daichi Sato defeated Danshoku Dieno & Kazuki Hirata when Sato pinned Hirata with the PK (11:19).
6. Special 6-Man Tag Match: MAO, KANON (w/ KIMIHIRO) & Junta Miyawaki defeated Yuki Iino, Yukio Naya & Kazuma Sumi when KANON pinned Naya with a Cradle (12:48).
7. The 37KAMIINA Vs DAMNATION T.A!: Yuki Ueno & To-y defeated Daisuke Sasaki & Demus when Ueno pinned Demus with the Jul.2 (20:28).

A Block

1. Daichi Sato (2)
-. Kazuma Sumi (2)
3. To-y (0)
-. Ilusion (0)
-. Yuki Ishida (0)

B Block

1. Yuya Koroku (2)
-. Rukiya (2)
-. Yuni (2)
-. Takeshi Masada (2)
5. Hinata Kasai (0)

It’s a difficult task to focus on two opponents at once but Yuki Ueno is trying to do just that. He doesn’t have to worry about Chris Brookes doing anything shady behind his back but Daisuke Sasaki has now become a thorn in his side again. Sasaki threw a chair at Ueno during the main event but with To-y’s help, Ueno was able to pin Demus with the Jul.2 to get the win. After the match Ueno said fighting Sasaki like this brings back memories of their previous battles together and he doesn’t like how Sasaki can disrupt his rhythm. Sasaki then mocked Ueno and said standing in front of him again reminds Ueno of the bloody trauma Sasaki gave him in the past.

Junta Miyawaki is showing interest in fighting Kazuma Sumi more often.

Today was Daichi Sato’s first time fighting Danshoku Dieno. He didn’t want to go through with it but Akito told him it is a rite of passage for everyone in DDT to have a match with Dieno. After the match Akito praised him for going through with it and even said he wants to see Sato win a championship more than anything else. Sato doesn’t trust him though and refused to shake his hand.

Two B Block matches in the D GENERATIONS CUP took place at the beginning of the show. Rukiya utilized his hometown advantage to beat Yuni and score his first points in the block. Takeshi Masada took part in his first match of the tournament, beating Hinata Kasai in a bout that coincidentally linked the end of SCHADENFREUDE International with the beginning of FANTÔMES DRAMATIC.

DDT “DDT NEW YEAR PRO WRESTLING FESTIVAL! 2026” Results

January 5, 2026

DDT “DDT NEW YEAR PRO WRESTLING FESTIVAL! 2026”, 05/01/2026
Shinjuku FACE
??? Fans – Unannounced

1. D GENERATIONS CUP 2026 – B Block: Yuni (2) defeated Hinata Kasai (0) with the Phoenix Splash (5:31).
2. D GENERATIONS CUP 2026 – B Block: Yuya Koroku (2) defeated Rukiya (0) with the Modified Triangle Lancer (8:22).
3. 3 Way Match: Akito defeated Danshoku Dieno and Kazuki Hirata when Akito submitted Dieno and Akito with the Modified Figure 4 Leg Lock (12:05).
4. D GENERATIONS CUP 2026 – A Block: Kazuma Sumi (2) defeated Ilusion (0) with the School Boy (10:27).
5. D GENERATIONS CUP 2026 – A Block: Daichi Sato (2) defeated Yuki Ishida (0) with the Mad Splash (9:42).
6. Yuki Iino, Yukio Naya, Junta Miyawaki & Takeshi Masada defeated MAO, KANON (w/ KIMIHIRO), Jun Akiyama & Munetatsu Nakamura when Iino pinned KANON with the Spear (14:18).
7. Special 3 Way 6-Man Tag Match: Chris Brookes, HARASHIMA & Antonio Honda defeated Yuki Ueno, To-y & Kazusada Higuchi and Daisuke Sasaki, Hideki Okatani & Demus (w/ MJ Paul) when Brookes pinned To-y after the Somato from HARASHIMA (22:20).

A Block

1. Daichi Sato (2)
-. Kazuma Sumi (2)
3. To-y (0)
-. Ilusion (0)
-. Yuki Ishida (0)

B Block

1. Yuya Koroku (2)
-. Yuni (2)
3. Takeshi Masada (0)
-. Hinata Kasai (0)
-. Rukiya (0)

Just two days after SCHADENFREUDE International disbanded, Chris Brookes has quickly established a brand new unit to replace it. He held a press conference before the first match to reveal FANTÔMES DRAMATIC as the name of his new group, or “Fanodra” for short. He had already invited two wrestlers to join and they both accepted. They are Antonio Honda and HARASHIMA. The fourth member though was called down to the ring by Brookes so he could invite them in person. That turned out to be Hinata Kasai and he took a shirt to take his new place in FANTÔMES DRAMATIC. Fandora then went on to win their first match in the main event, beating The 37KAMIINA (plus Kazusada Higuchi) and DAMNATION T.A in a 3 Way Trios match, dragging Yuki Ueno and Daisuke Sasaki into the current 3 way main event feud. Honda said this unit will bring new drama to DDT and they will use all sort of combinations to win many of the company’s championships.

There was also a press conference for the KO-D Tag Team Titles match contract signing between Strange Love Connection and The Apex. According to Yuki Iino, the only reason The Apex lost the titles to SLC last November was because Chihiro Hashimoto got in the way. This time she won’t be here so Iino can entirely focus on getting his hands on MAO and beating him to get the belts back. KANON was a little disappointed to be ignored by Iino but he probably regretted that later in the show when Iino pinned him with two Spears. Now Iino is paying attention to him and he enjoyed taking his Chops and Lariats today. It also means Iino & Yukio Naya are happy to beat either MAO or KANON to win the titles again.

Some of the lineup was kept secret until the day of the show. One of the unannounced matches was a 3 Way between Akito, Danshoku Dieno and Kazuki Hirata but nobody involved in the match were happy being booked this way. When the match began all three wrestlers either sat down or laid motionless until Hisaya Imabayashi asked them what was going on? They told him they were on strike because they all felt like they were being used as leftovers for the show. Imabayashi got to motivate them by promising to fulfill one wish from the match winner. Dieno wanted a photoshoot with his pet dog Haku, Hirata asked for a refreshed stock of Hirata GO! glasses and Akito aimed to take over Imabayashi’s role as the DDT GM! In an effort to protect his own job, Imabayashi tried to help Dieno and Hirata win instead of Akito. He also took inspiration from yesterday’s Tokyo Dome main event to attack Akito himself but that ended up backfiring on him spectacularly. Instead, Akito trapped the other three in a Triple Figure 4 Leg Lock to win the match. Imabayashi tearfully agreed to make Akito the GM but only on the condition that Akito can make his dream of DDT holding a show in the Tokyo Dome come true. Akito then revealed he would not take over as GM as all he wanted from Imabayashi was to hear him passionately talk about his dream. He promised him they will aim to make that dream come true together.

The opening day of the fourth annual D GENERATIONS CUP made up the majority of this show’s undercard. Daichi Sato’s debut in the tournament got off to a good start with him beating Yuki Ishida with the Fire Thunder followed by the Mad Splash. He said he will continue this momentum to win the rest of his block matches. Kazuma Sumi survived getting hit with a KO-D 10-Man Tag Team Title belt to beat Ilusion. He credited his own quick wits to get the better of his masked opponent. Ilusion denied losing the match and warns the company is doomed unless he wins.

Over in the B Block, last year’s winner Yuya Koroku is looking to achieve the repeat. He beat Rukiya to kick off his campaign right, avenging a loss to him from the 2024 DGC. If there’s one thing Koroku does not want to happen, it’s to lose to anyone younger than him in this tournament. Yuni may cause him some trouble then because the fresh college student scored his first ever DGC win by beating Hinata Kasai in the opener. Yuni said he is going to cherish every victory but won’t be satisfied with only having one win.

DDT Around The World – Takeshita’s C2 Adventure

January 1, 2026

The final month of the year now includes a new tradition from AEW. It’s the Continental Classic tournament! Their take on the round robin format that Japan’s wrestling scene has down to a science still has a lot of bugs in it. Mainly there’s none of the pageantry you’d expect from collecting together a dozen great wrestlers for a month long tournament and the lack of matches scheduled in advance takes the fun out of predicting how the booking is going to go. That latter part does mean AEW can keep fans on their toes and throw a few curveballs with doing the more anticipated matches at unexpected times. The shorter, more packed schedule this year helped things out more because these tournaments work when you don’t have to wait many days for the next show to advance further through the group stage.

The hope was for Konosuke Takeshita to take part in the C2 this year after not being selected for the inaugural event. With a G1 Climax victory from earlier this year under his belt it would have been insane to leave him out again. Thankfully he made it into the field and was put into a group with no other members of The Don Callis Family involved. There were still plenty of familiar opponents for him to fight with and as the IWGP World Heavyweight Champion, losing to anyone right before he goes to defend the belt in the Tokyo Dome would take another hit to how he’s currently being perceived. Well, at least he made it through the block undefeated…

Blue League

1. Konosuke Takeshita (13)
2. Jon Moxley (9)
3. Claudio Castagnoli (7)
4. Orange Cassidy (6)
-. Mascara Dorada (6)
6. Roderick Strong (3)


AEW “COLLISION – THANKSGIVING”, 26/11/2025 (Aired 27/11/2025)
The Pinnacle, Nashville, Tennessee, USA

1. Continental Classic – Blue League: Konosuke Takeshita (3) defeated Roderick Strong (0) with the Raging Fire (13:15).

Takeshita got off to a good start… or did he…? Uh… yes, it turns out he did even though a fake spoiler rattled up a lot of fans in the day between when the match was taped and when it aired on TV. Neither Takeshita nor Roderick Strong were concerned if they broke each other in half. Outside the ring Takeshita gave Strong the Blue Thunder Bomb on top of a guardrail while back in the ring Strong dropped Takeshita from the top rope over the turnbuckles Backbreaker style. With so many bombs being thrown, Strong broke down first and he was finished off with the Powerdrive Knee followed by the Raging Fire. After the match Strong is feeling like he is in a slump because he is entering the tournament as a replacement for Kyle O’Reilly. This result is a wake up call for him to compete in the rest of the C2 for himself instead of anyone else.

AEW “COLLISION”, 06/12/2025
Greater Columbus Convention Center, Columbus, Ohio, USA

1. Continental Classic – Blue League: Konosuke Takeshita (6) defeated Jon Moxley (3) with the Raging Fire (17:29).

Takeshita has fought Jon Moxley in AEW singles matches three previous times and lost all of them. For his fourth attempt he finally got the better of him for the first time. An apparent leg injury hampered Moxley during the match but he kept on fighting, drilling Takeshita onto the ring apron with the Curb Stomp. He also countered the Blue Thunder Bomb with a Headlock Takeover, transitioning it into an Ankle Lock. That harmed Takeshita’s leg to even the playing field but he dropped a big Blue Thunder Bomb onto the remains of the commentary table (that had flimsily fallen apart when Takeshita grabbed the AEW Continental Title that was placed there). Moxley recovered to hit the Paradigm Shift but Takeshita saved himself with a rope break to stop the pin. Moxely hit him more with some strikes until his own knee gave way, allowing Takeshita to strike with the Powerdrive Knee for a nearfall. Takeshita pulled down his kneepad to hit a raw Powerdrive Knee and was able to pull off the Raging Fire to finally get his first win over Moxley.


AEW “COLLISION – WINTER IS COMING”, 13/12/2025
Utilita Arena Cardiff, Cardiff, Wales, UK

1. Continental Classic – Blue League: Konosuke Takeshita (7) Vs Claudio Castagnoli (7) ended in a Time Limit Draw (20:00).

There should be a bit of magic in the air whenever you have a world champion from one company take on a world champion from another. Just last month Claudio Castagnoli went to Mexico and won the CMLL World Heavyweight Title, a championship that’s in an odd position because people who don’t follow lucha libre think it’s a much bigger prize than it actually is. Still, Castagnoli is making sure the belt is nothing to sneeze at while he is holding it and he became the first bump in the road to slow down Takeshita. The two ended up fighting all the way to the time limit, making it the first match in this year’s C2 to end in a draw. The two kept on fighting anyway! Backstage Takeshita said he didn’t care about proving which world champion was better, he instead wanted to show Castagnoli just who is The Alpha! Castagnoli said the last time he wrestled Takeshita was three years ago. He is confident he won’t have to wait that long to fight him again.

AEW “DYNAMITE – HOLIDAY BASH”, 17/12/2025
Co-op Live, Manchester, England, UK

1. $1,000,000 (£750,000) Winner Takes All Trios Match: Kenny Omega, Nick Jackson & Matt Jackson defeated Kazuchika Okada, Konosuke Takeshita & Hechicero when Omega pinned Hechicero with the Indy Taker One-Winged Angel (22:31)

A side story popped up in the middle of the tournament focusing on The Don Callis Family at large. They had to go fight Kenny Omega & The Young Bucks who had all gotten over their problems with each other and revived The Elite. Loads of money was put on the line in a trios match between the two sides but that kind of motivation wasn’t enough to keep Takeshita and Kazuchika Okada on the same page. An opening for Takeshita to go in for the Powerdrive Knee was interrupted by Okada stepping in wanting to do the Rainmaker instead. Hechicero could only watch on in despair as his partners argued with each other. The Elite took advantage to clear house and triple team Hechicero into oblivion. Okada & Takeshita attacked The Elite afterwards and hit their finishers on The Young Bucks. However they still couldn’t help but get into a shoving contest with each other after that.


AEW “DYNAMITE ON 34TH STREET”, 20/12/2025 (Aired 24/12/2025)
Hammerstein Ballroom, New York City, New York, USA

1. Continental Classic – Blue League: Konosuke Takeshita (10) defeated Orange Cassidy (6) with the Raging Fire (15:26).

The final matches in the Blue League happened in a rush over the Christmas period but Takeshita had nothing to worry about. His win over Orange Cassidy booked his ticket to the semi final round, even with a mini-scare where Cassidy countered the Raging Fire into a Small Package. However it turned out Takeshita was still in control and he powered out of the nearfall to lift his opponent right into the Raging Fire for the win.


AEW “CHRISTMAS COLLISION”, 21/12/2025 (Aired 25/12/2025)
Hammerstein Ballroom, New York City, New York, USA

1. Continental Classic – Blue League: Konosuke Takeshita (13) defeated Mascara Dorada (6) with the Raging Fire (11:40).

At this point a win for Takeshita was just to cement his position on top of the Blue League while also killing off any chances Mascara Dorada had left of qualifying for the semi-final. Just like with Cassidy, Takeshita’s power had to fight off the speed and agility of his opponent, although Dorada took things to another level with his acrobatics off of the ropes. It looked like Dorada’s closest moment to victory was countering the Last Ride into a Canadian Destroyer but Takeshita popped back up and knocked him away with a Lariat instead. Another big Lariat came when both were standing on the top rope together. From there Takeshita just needed to do the Powerdrive Knee and then the Raging Fire to finish on top of his group.


AEW “WORLDS END”, 27/12/2025
NOW Arena, Hoffman Estates, Illinois, USA

1. Continental Classic – Semi Final: Kazuchika Okada defeated Konosuke Takeshita with a Screwdriver Attack (17:17).

Fate played its hand when the two league standings resulted in Takeshita and Okada meeting each other in the semi final. After so much wait for the match to happen, a screwdriver took it in another direction. Late in the match Okada reached into one of the turnbuckle sleeves and pulled a screwdriver out of it. Then a missed Rainmaker spot knocked the referee out of position so he couldn’t see anything. Okada then struck Takeshita over the head with the screwdriver and got away with it scot free. Don Callis on commentary claimed not to have seen anything and he walked off with the winner.

D GENERATIONS CUP 2026

December 22, 2025

The fourth annual D GENERATIONS CUP tournament will this time crown a No. 1 Contender for the DDT Universal Title. It will consist of two round robin blocks containing five wrestlers each.

Wins are worth two points, draws are worth one point and no points are rewarded for Double Countouts or No Contests. Head-to-head results will be used as tiebreakers and if that does not work then a playoff will take place to determine the block winner on the same show as the final.

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “TJPW AUTUMN VICTORY IN RYOGOKU” Results

October 26, 2025

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “TJPW AUTUMN VICTORY IN RYOGOKU”, 26/10/2025
Tokyo Ryogoku KFC Hall
282 Fans

1. Arisu Endo defeated Ren Konatsu with the Camel Clutch (7:53).
-. Iron Man Heavymetalweight Title: Rika Tatsumi defeated Mahiro Kiryu (c) with the Sliding Hip Lock (1:05 pm).
*Rika Tatsumi becomes the 1,779th champion.
2. Hyper Misao & Raku defeated Rika Tatsumi & Mahiro Kiryu when Raku pinned Kiryu with the Hurricane Turn (10:51).
3. Miyu Yamashita & Kaya Toribami defeated Suzume & Pom Harajuku when Yamashita pinned Harajuku with the Attitude Adjustment (10:26).
4. Mizuki defeated Toga with the Diving Foot Stomp (8:05).
5. Next Generation Tournament ’25 – Final: Chika Nanase defeated Uta Takami with the Elbow Butt (6:59).
5a. Next Generation Tournament ’25 – Final Rematch: Uta Takami defeated Chika Nanase with the Koala Clutch (2:58).
6. Miu Watanabe & Yuki Aino defeated Yuki Arai & Mifu Ashida when Aino submitted Ashida with the Full Nelson Of Love And Flame (12:08).
7. HIMAWARI, Shino Suzuki & Haru Kazashiro defeated Yuki Kamifuku, Wakana Uehara & Kira Summer when HIMAWARI pinned Summmer with the Sunflower Tempest (13:18).

The next challengers for the Princess Tag Team Titles are starting to piece it all together. HIMAWARI & Shino Suzuki got a trios tag win against Ober Eats today with some help from Haru Kazashiro along the way. HIMAWARI was saved from taking a Crab Hold from Kira Summer and then went on to pin her with the Sunflower Tempest. After the match HIMAWARI said while she was in China last week she still kept an eye on Suzuki’s matches to see how she fared without her. Kazashiro called the two of them her best friends from the 2023 Class so she will be cheering for them in the title match. HIMAWARI & Suzuki then revealed their tag team name. They are called Bumping gRitters! They decided to combine the words grit with glitter to make “gRitters” because they fight like shining stones colliding head-on with their opponents! They also warn that Ober Eats better start paying attention to them because they will be charging head-on into them. Ober Eats aren’t taking them seriously though. Yuki Kamifuku joked that the other team placed a curse on them to make her hair grow longer while Wakana Uehara misheard the team name and thinks Bumping gRitters are called Pumpkin Pudding.

The finals of the Next Generation Tournament went all the way into having a bracket reset. Due to the double elimination rules, Chika Nanase needed to win two matches back to back while Uta Takami only needed to beat Nanase one time to be crowned the grand champion. Nanase was able to beat Takami by breaking out of the Koala Clutch and hitting Takami with Elbow Butts until she could pin her for the three count. A rematch immediately took place and Nanase tried to lock in the Inari Torii submission hold. Instead Takami escaped from it and trapped Nanase in the Koala Clutch, forcing her to give up. After Takami received her winner’s medal she called out Arisu Endo and used her title shot prize to make a challenge for the International Princess Title. Endo said she already wants to have a singles match against this version of Takami so it will happen on 9th November at Korakuen Hall.

Takami later explained that even though she admires Miu Watanabe the most, she knows she cannot become like her. But the wrestlers her size like Endo, Shoko Nakajima and Suzume have since become the shining lights for her to follow. Endo is the wrestler closest to what Takami wants to turn into which is why she is challenging her instead of Watanabe. Meanwhile Nanase said she is going to spend the rest of today being completely depressed to get it out of her syste, Then she can come out of it feeling refreshed and ready to take on the next challenge.

Mahiro Kiryu learned the harsh lesson about being the Iron Man Heavymetalweight Champion and that is to not trust anybody. Both Hyper Misao & Raku wanted to win the belt and agreed with each other that there wouldn’t be any hard feelings between them if one got the title instead of the other. They then attempted to ambush Kiryu & Rika Tatsumi during their entrance only to discover the team entered from the other side of the room. Both of them tried to pin Kiryu outside the ring anyway but Tatsumi protected her by strangling the other team at ringside. But with the opposition taken care of, Tatsumi then turned hover to Kiryu used the Sliding Hip Attack on her to win the Iron Man Title for herself! The tag match continued and Tatsumi even saved Kiryu from getting pinned but Raku ended up using the Hurricane Turn on Kiryu to win the match. Tatsumi was still the champion though and she happily ran away with the belt. She said that when Tokyo Joshi Pro has their show with OCHA NORMA in December, she will still be the champion by then and she will give the belt to her favorite member Natsume Nakayama as a gift! Until then she won’t accept any challenges and will run away from anyone wanting to fight her.

Today’s show was the first TJPW event to only feature female referees for every match. Fumirin was joined by Yoko Chihana who usually works as a referee for JTO.

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “TJPW AUTUMN VICTORY IN TAKASAKI” Results

October 19, 2025

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “TJPW AUTUMN VICTORY IN TAKASAKI”, 19/10/2025
Gunma G-Messe Main Hall (Takasaki City)
258 Fans – Super No Vacancy

1. Toga defeated Ren Konatsu with a Face Lock (7:47).
2. Next Generation Tournament ’25 – Losers Bracket: Chika Nanase defeated Kira Summer with an Elbow Butt (7:18).
3. Miu Watanabe defeated Mifu Ashida with the Canadian Backbreaker (8:38).
4. Shoko Nakajima & Hyper Misao defeated Yuki Aino & Raku when Nakajima pinned Raku with the Diving Senton (10:50).
5. Yuki Kamifuku, Wakana Uehara & Kaya Toribami defeated Yuki Arai, Shino Suzuki & Uta Takami when Toribami pinned Takami with the Sento Choryu (12:53).
6. Arisu Endo & Alice Crowley defeated Mizuki & Haru Kazashiro when Endo pinned Kazashiro with the Ju no Okite (11:40).
7. Mahiro Kiryu & Suzume defeated Miyu Yamashita & Pom Harajuku when Kiryu pinned Harajuku with the Spinebuster (13:02).

Not only did Mahiro Kiryu make it back to Gunma with the Iron Man Heavymetalweight Title still in her grasp but she got to win the main event in front of her hometown crowd too! It almost didn’t go that way though. Pom Harajuku tricked her into dropping her guard so she could get a roll up nearfall. Kiryu used her apology spot to say sorry for getting carried away because she is so excited to wresting in her hometown. Miyu Yamashita made things worse by kicked Kiryu around the ring but Suzume got in with a hot tag. The other team then turned out not to be on the same page because Harajuku blind tagged her way back into the match so she could try and win the Iron Man Title instead of Yamashita. However Kiryu got her second wind and put Harajuku down with the Spinebuster to win the match and remain a champion. Kiryu told the fans she definitely wants to wrestle in Gunma again and she hopes people from outside the area will discover what is so great about the place. She thinks she will still be the Iron Man Champion when Tokyo Joshi Pro returns here too.

Matches #5 and #6 had two wrestlers swap around because Arisu Endo & Alice Crowley wanted to team up with each other after yesterday’s International Princess Title bout. Crowley and Shino Suzuki swapped places to make the changes happen.

Yuki Aino & Raku brought a duvet into the ring for their match and even used it to trap Kyoraku Kyomei together back to back outside the ring. Shoko Nakajima & Hyper Misao needed some assistance to get back to their feet but were able to roll back into the ring to avoid a countout.

She wasn’t considered one of the favorites to win the Next Generation Tournament but Chika Nanase is defying the odds to reach the final! She avenged her earlier tournament loss to Kira Summer by beating her today with an Elbow Smash. The result means Summer is now knocked out of the running and Nanase moves on to the final where she will need to beat Uta Takami twice in a row back to back in order to be crowned the tournament champion. Nanase considers Summer to be her best friend so she wants to continue fighting, teaming up and improving each other. Summer will support Nanase but admits it hurts her so much that she couldn’t reach the final instead.

BASARA “BASARA 290 ~UTAGE~” Results

October 15, 2025

BASARA “BASARA 290 ~UTAGE~”, 15/10/2025
Shin-Kiba 1st RING
??? Fans – Unannounced

1. IRON FIST Tag Tournament – B Block Final: Kyu Mogami & Naka Shuma defeated Ryuichi Sekine & FUMA by Disqualification after a Weapon Attack (11:26).
2. IRON FIST Tag Tournament – A Block Final: Takato Nakano & Masato Kamino defeated Ryota Nakatsu & Daichi Kazato when Kamino pinned Kazato with the Lariat (11:01).
3. Trans-Am ★ Hiroshi, Tsutomu Oosugi & Banana Senga (w/ Gouma Ryu) defeated Isami Kodaka, Lil’ Kraken & Takeru Inoue when Hiroshi pinned Inoue with the Perfect Plex (8:57).
4. SAGAT, Minoru Fujita & Tomoki Hatano defeated Takumi Tsukamoto, Daiki Shimomura & Tatsuya Hanami when SAGAT pinned Shimomura with a Spinning Bearhug Slam (12:34).
5. IRON FIST Tag Tournament – Final: Takato Nakano & Masato Kamino defeated Kyu Mogami & Naka Shuma when Nakano pinned Shuma with the Takagari (18:30).

This year’s IRON FIST Tag Tournament winners are Aijin Tag! They got past Shitamachi Rocket in the semi final, mostly because Daichi Kazato’s constant backfiring moves was too much for even Ryota Nakatsu to make up for. Their opponents in the final were the two delinquints from MJ2. They got past Hyakusho Ikki by tricking Ryuichi Sekine & FUMA into using weapons in front of the ref so they would get disqualified. Takato Nakano & Masato Kamino were able to defeat Kyu Mogami & Naka Shuma to win the final but they told the fans afterwards that is only half of MJ2 they have beaten. The other half Kengo Mashimo & Ayumu Honda also happen to be the Iron Fist Tag Team Champions so Aijin Tag want to face them next with the belts on the line! Honda was in the corner for Mogami & Shuma during the show. He didn’t say anything but did shake hands with Nakano & Kamino to accept their challenge. The title match will happen on 31st October.
