Pre-show
Togi Makabe & Toru Yano vs. Katsuya Murashima & Shoma Kato

Murashima’s sturdiness knocked down Yano and Makabe upon each early collision; Kato joined him for a few. Yano took advantage of Makabe’s hurling of Kato, tossing the Young Lion into an exposed turnbuckle. The veterans bullied Kato for an extended period until he pulled out a dropkick. Murashima wore down Makabe to enable a Boston Crab.

Makabe quelled any hope for a comeback with a King Kong Lariat and Inside Cradle. He finished off Murashima with a King Kong Kneedrop for the three-count.

Winner: Togi Makabe & Toru Yano via Pinfall.

Post-match: A short moment of silence honored the late Tadao Yasuda, who passed away on February 8, 2026.

Unbound Co. (Hiromu Takahashi & Taiji Ishimori) vs. United Empire (Francesco Akira & Jakob Austin Young)

Young cut off Takahashi’s fanfare from the crowd. However, Ishimori joined Takahashi for dropkicks onto the young American. Akira punctured the wind from Ishimori’s lungs with a Missile Dropkick. Takahashi rebounded with a Flying Crossbody to Akira. He used the referee to disorient Akira via hurricanrana. Akira’s chest absorbed a series of chops before he bit Takahashi’s arm.

Takahashi dodged Akira’s Fireball Knees and used the Italian’s momentum against him courtesy a Pop-Up Powerbomb. Takahashi equalized Akira with a Dynamite Plancha. Ishimori centered Young with a Bone Lock, keeping him firmly in place to submit the American with a tap out.

Winner: Unbound Co. via Submission.

Post-match: Akira assaulted Takahashi at the end of the match. Robbie X thwarted Akira’s Con-chair-to with a Cutter.

War Dragons (Drilla Moloney & Shingo Takagi) vs. United Empire (Great-O-Khan & HENARE)

United Empire spared not even a second when they isolated Takagi. It was for naught, as Takagi reconvened with Moloney to drop HENARE to the mat. Khan positioned Moloney to the corner and blasted his vulnerable arm with a chairshot and swung on Takagi. The Dragons slingshot their foes into one another and united for elbow drops on their carcasses.

HENARE unleashed hellish chops to Moloney and struck him with a Rugby Punt. Thanks to Takagi chopping away at HENARE, Moloney gored the New Zealander. The pair finished off HENARE with a War Dragon for the pinfall.

Winner: War Dragons via Pinfall.

Post-match: An emotional Moloney announced he re-signed with NJPW.

NEVER Openweight 6-Man Tag Team Championship
TMDK (Ryohei Oiwa, Hartley Jackson, & Zack Sabre Jr.) vs. Bishamontin (Boltin Oleg, Hirooki Goto, & YOSHI-HASHI) (c)

Jackson and Boltin resumed their heated “Road to” feud, with the former chugging through the Kazakh wrestler. Oiwa nearly edged over Boltin, but the latter’s Belly-to-Belly Suplex broke it. Goto suplexed Sabre onto Oiwa. Goto’s revolution faltered after Oiwa’s Discus Lariat planted him to the mat. Sabre torqued the arms of YOSHI-HASHI behind his back. Despite Sabre’s best efforts, YOSHI-HASHI powered through with a lariat to break his British dominance.

Jackson and Oiwa cleared the way so they could run a train on YOSHI-HASHI. Boltin usurped Jackson’s Senton to YOSHI-HASHI, but found himself outside the ring thanks to Oiwa. Jackson employed a Jagged Edge, nearly ending YOSHI-HASHI. A fired-up Boltin Kamikaze’d Oiwa but he and Bishamon were sent falling by Jackson’s lariats. Bishamon propped up Jackson for Boltin to Splash the massive Australian.

Winner: Bishamontin via Pinfall to retain the NEVER Openweight 6-Man Tag Team Championship.

Gabe Kidd vs. Andrade El Idolo

Kidd struggled a bit against Idolo, but found some space after a Powerbomb. He taunted the United Empire member with a Tranquilo pose. Idolo plummeted Kidd onto the apron and punctuated with a moonsault. Kidd fought back, driving Idolo’s face into the ring posts and clotheslining him. Idolo returned the match to his favor as he executed Three Amigos.

Kidd rebounded with a lariat, growing frustrated and barking as though to convince himself, hype himself up. Idolo regained control with a dropkick and double-knees into the corner. Kidd countered a DM for a Piledriver. Idolo ended Kidd with a spinning backfist and DM to win the match, therefore earning a shot at Yota Tsuji’s IWGP Global Heavyweight Championship.

Winner: Andrade El Idolo via Pinfall.

David Finlay vs. Callum Newman

No love was lost once these two squared up; they traded rights and lefts, bursting through the barricade, and spilled into the crowd. Finlay dragged Newman into the ring, slingshotting him into the corner. Newman chipped away at Finlay, draining him with a headlock. A Northern Irish Curse thwarted the Brit’s momentum. Finlay demolished Newman on the outside, dropping his spine on the apron. Zane Jay intervened, but was sent into the barricade. Newman’s bad luck continued as Finlay swung him directly into the ring post.

He ruined Newman with a Dominator, keeping him tender and grounded. Finlay endured a period of Newman-enforced dominance, capitalized with a Jackknife Powerbomb. Newman eluded an Overkill, employing rapid successions of fists and forearms. He stole his opponent’s Overkill and his own Excalibur. At last, Newman solidified himself with a Prince’s Curse.

Winner: Callum Newman via Pinfall.

Post-match: Finlay’s eyes welled up as he bowed to the crowd. He apologized to Hiromu Takahashi, who had been sitting on Japanese commentary. As he held aloft the “Too Sweet” hand gesture, Finlay reported that he still ran this business.

In-Ring: Hiroshi Tanahashi

The Ace and President thanked the crowd, boasting huge numbers for the Wrestle Kingdom 20. He stated that Dominion in Osaka-Jo Hall would be broadcast from TV Asahi on network television on June 14.

NEVER Openweight Championship
Ren Narita vs. Aaron Wolf (c)

DOUKI, SHO, Yujiro Takahashi, and Dick Togo ambushed Wolf. They’d clobber him in the ring against challenger Narita, but Wolf little issue in overcoming them. Togo had to choke Wolf down to weaken him, allowing room for a Hell’s Guillotine. This was quick enough to dethrone Wolf for a short title reign.

Winner: Ren Narita via Pinfall to become the new NEVER Openweight Champion.

Post-match: The House of Torture ganged up on Wolf, battering him completely. Various members of the NJPW roster came to his aid, but the victorious faction had already left.

IWGP Tag Team Championship
Shota Umino & Yuya Uemura vs. Knockout Brothers (Yuto-Ice & OSKAR) (c)

Ice and Uemura began things with a hot and angry start. Bomboclat from Ice further dazed Uemura. OSKAR chopped him down further. Umino swung a comeback with a DDT to Ice, followed by hurling him into the barricade. He dropkicked OSKAR over the guardrail, knocking a barricade into some fans. The towering German returned to the ring, but found no luck there as a spirited Umino struck him and downed him with a lariat.

OSKAR sent Uemura outside and rocked Umino with a scoop slam. Umino rebounded with a DDT. Uemura reunited with Ice in the ring, trading elbows. A dropkick and armbar gave Uemura leverage, as did a flying crossbody. Ice fired back, but collapsed in exhaustion the moment Uemura reached for a lariat. Ice gained the upper hand after a chop exchange but stumbled back into a corner when Umino dropkicked him. OSKAR was so out of it that the challengers devastated him with a Dragon Riot. Ice rescued his partner, and together they crushed Umino with a K.O.B. Uemura launched Ice away with a Deadbolt. OSKAR and Uemura elicited a rumble in Osaka, trading moves and pin attempts. One more K.O.B. sealed Uemura’s fate and earned the Knockout Brothers a title retention.

Winner: Knockout Brothers via Pinfall to retain the IWGP Tag Team Championship.

Post-match: The arena went dark and on a screen, AEW’s The Demand appeared. Ricochet challenged Taiji Ishimori to come after his AEW National Championship. Toa Liona and Bishop Kaun, meanwhile, opted for the Knockout Brothers’ IWGP Tag Team Championship. Both of these challenges were issued for New Beginning in USA.

IWGP Heavyweight Championship
Jake Lee vs. Yota Tsuji (c)

Tsuji and Lee locked up to a stalemate. Lee gleefully enraged Tsuji, leading to a Tsuji-cida into the guardrail. Lee danced and laughed like a jester, having kicked Tsuji after being whipped into the ropes. Adorning a black glove, Lee endured a series of hurricanranas. Lee’s smugness turned into panic as his rope break ended a Boston Crab attempt. A DDT wrenched control from Tsuji.

Spirit nested itself within Tsuji, empowering him to twist Lee’s knee, softening it against the hard apron. He’d continue to target that weak spot, the tender knee, with kicks of his own. Try as he might, Lee couldn’t instill much feeling but pain in his knee. Champion and challenger clashed and clashed, with Lee’s last-ditch effort of a kick lending him some room to gain his bearings. A vicious chop exchanged left a deep mark on Lee’s breast, yet that didn’t deter him from trading forearms and elbows.

Sensing Tsuji’s renewed targeting of the knee, Lee kicked in repetition to stop the champ. Subverting a Gene Blaster, Lee trapped him in a sleeper hold, squeezing the life out of him. Tsuji’s Guerrero Especial nearly secured a retention, just as Lee’s chokeslam almost saw a title change. A Gene Blaster punctured the air out of Lee. Kneeing Lee in the guts, Tsuji obliterated his foe with a Gene Blaster to at last retain his belt.

Winner: Yota Tsuji via Pinfall to retain the IWGP Heavyweight Championship.

Post-match: Tsuji thanked Lee for the challenge as four Young Lions carried him to the back. Since he believed that the wrestlers give their lives to this medium, he asked the audience to continue walking with him. He beckoned Unbound Co. to join the ring, as everyone bade farewell to Hiromu Takahashi. Yuto-Ice, who had his back turned as though disinterested, embraced Takahashi in tears.
