AEW's most beautiful couple is coming to Japan and DDT! Kip Sabian and Penelope Ford will make their debut at Nagoya! By: R. Faliani All Elite Wrestling and DDT Pro Wrestling announced their partnership back on 2022, and the wrestling content they have delivered since then has been top notch. With the likes of Konosuke Takeshita and Jun Akiyama appearing on Dynamite and Rampage, we figured it was only a matter of time before AEW wrestlers made the jump to Japan! https://twitter.com/ddtproENG/status/1610239317699596289 Kip Sabian has been an original on AEW since 2019, and the same can be said for Penelope Ford. The talented couple has a big chance to make their names known on Sanshiro Takagi's company, and show their true potential! We know Penelope Ford was interested on Maki Itoh and Miyu Yamashita, and her debut at Nagoya could be the first step towards something even bigger in her…

Miyu Yamashita Seeks to Win Triple Crown Across the World By: J. Curbelo TJPW's Ace Miyu Yamashita is very close to earn a "Japan - U.S. - U.K. Triple Crown" this month. Yamashita's set to face known rival Yuka Sakazaki for her TJPW Princess of Princess Championship at tonight's "TJPW '23" show, prior to Wrestle Kingdom. The contender isn't just that, however, as she holds British all-female promotion Pro Wrestling EVE's top title belt after defeating Alex Windsor last November. Should Miyu win tonight, she'd go as a double-champion into a Ring of Honor Women's Championship match against Athena at PRESTIGE Wrestling later this month. The Pink Striker made it very clear that she's aiming to achieve this feat, but she will have to go through a Sakazaki at her toughest. https://twitter.com/tjpw2013/status/1610290732862177280 The two rivals exchanged elbows last Christmas at Ryogoku KFC Hall during an 8-woman tag team match, with…

Welcome to Puroresu Gate, a weekly feature where we review attendance figures of Puroresu and Joshi promotions in the most well-known venues in Japan.

This week, we are looking at the 14,471-seat Nippon Budokan Arena in Tokyo Japan. One of the largest and most prestigious arenas in Japan, this venue has hosted some of the most epic moments in the entire history of Puroresu!

By: Syn Fritz The Ark has returned to Tokyo and has docked at the Nippon Budokan for NOAH, The New Year. Great matches and surprises abound, let's take a look at what went down in Tokyo! Yasutaka Yano vs Taishi Ozawa It was honestly surprising how short this opener was between two young wrestlers. Both were racing to the ring for this one. Yatsutaka Yano stayed in control for most of the match. Oddly, it feels like Ozawa has grown more as a wrestler, but at the same time it feels like his growth as a in-ring performer has stalled a little. Ozawa may need that extra push or inspiration to get him to that next level in his journey. Short match, just over 6 minutes to get the crowed warmed up.

Pro-Wrestling NOAH star Keiji Muto declared that his match with Shinsuke Nakamura is better than the GHC Championship bout between Kaito Kiyomiya and KENOH. By R.Faliani https://twitter.com/noahglobal/status/1608708056279572481?s=20&t=Wrh7g3BqrqZ6sNWb2Im6gw On January 1st, Keiji Muto will have his last match on NOAH "THE NEW YEAR" 2023, and while the match itself already is an attraction, many people were unhappy with this match main eventing the show. Mutoh's controversial statement is truly a reflection of the current state of Pro-Wrestling NOAH. READ: NOAH's Greatest Curse: Does the GHC Heavyweight Title Still Hold its Value? Although this statement could be seen as disrespectful to the craft of Kaito Kiyomiya as champion, and the prestige of the GHC Heavyweight Championship as one of the most coveted prizes on Puroresu, we know Kiyomiya will give his absolute best to steal the show. NOAH's "THE NEW YEAR" 2023 will be a big show for the company, and it…

DDT Pro Wrestling closed out the year with a momentous show at Tokyo Dome City Hall. Three championships were on the line, including the KO-D Openweight Championship, in a much-anticipated match between Kazusada Higuchi and Yuki Ueno.

As 2022 comes to a close, STARDOM’s main protagonist finally stood atop the mountain, ending a journey that forged her into the diamond she now is.

“It was a surprise to me. It was unbelievable,” said Shinsuke Nakamura in a recent
interview with Pro Wrestling NOAH. “That was my honest reaction, that it actually came to be real.”

Giulia Reveals All About Beef with Maya Yukihi By: J. Curbelo During a series of interviews with Tokyo Sports, World of Stardom Championship #1 contender Giulia opened up about her history with former Ice Ribbon rival, Maya Yukihi, who surprised the wrestling community by arriving in STARDOM to participate in the Triangle Derby tournament alongside her Rebel x Enemy stablemates. Giulia and Yukihi have previously fought in Ice Ribbon for a total of three times, with Giulia always on the losing end. Despite Yukihi being a senior to Giulia, she explicitly stated she has no respect towards the former ICExInfinity Champion, let alone looking up to her. "The new Dangerous Queen" alleges that Yukihi constantly talked about her behind her back, adding that she spent her entire time in Ice Ribbon knowing about it and resenting her for it. https://twitter.com/Himanshu_Doi/status/1605147112261685249 Giulia also pointed out the incongruence of Yukihi coming to…

It has been a tradition that STARDOM look to end their year on a high. For years Korakuen Hall would host their big final show, but as they have grown so has the the way they close out a year. December 29th at Ryogoku Hall now marks a new tradition with the Dream Queendom event.
