Kento Miyahara Retains the AJPW Triple Crown Title in Sixth Straight Successful Defense

By: Lewis Carlan

On March 20th, All Japan Pro-Wrestling headed to the Esforta Arena Hachioji Main Arena as 1,750 fans were on hand for the latest DREAM POWER SERIES 2026 event.

The main event featured AJPW Triple Crown Champion Kento Miyahara, who is in his seventh reign, making his sixth title defense against the Gaora TV Champion Kuma Arashi.

Miyahara recently told Monthly Puroresu that he saw Arashi as a threat to his title due to the size and speed he possesses.

While Arashi proved to be a tough challenger for Miyahara, he just wasn’t good enough to dethrone the dominant champion.

Miyahara was able to end the match at the 23:15 mark after connecting with his Shutdown Suplex finisher.

With the victory, Miyahara heads towards the AJPW Champion Carnival 2026 tournament as the Triple Crown Titleholder. The winner of the tournament, which kicks off on April 12th, will be Miyahara’s next challenger. If Miyahara wins the Champion Carnival, he will most likely nominate his next challenger.

In other action, Atsuki Aoyagi & Rising HAYATO defeated Ryo Inoue & Dragon Gate Star Mochizuki Jr. to win the AJPW Zennichi Jr. Tag Festival.
