“NJPW Sold to TV Asahi and CyberAgent; Bushiroad Retains STARDOM

May 27, 2026

The most intriguing element of this transaction is the inclusion of CyberAgent and its implications for the Japanese wrestling landscape.
CyberAgent is a massive Japanese entertainment and tech conglomerate that entered the wrestling space in September 2017 by purchasing DDT Pro-Wrestling.
In January 2020, CyberAgent acquired a struggling Pro Wrestling NOAH, subsequently merging NOAH, DDT, and Tokyo Joshi Pro Wrestling (TJPW) under a single subsidiary called CyberFight.
CyberFight operates the Wrestle Universe streaming service, which hosts its core brands alongside partner promotions like Marigold, Marvelous, Sendai Girls, Michinoku Pro, and others.
CyberAgent’s 46% acquisition immediately raises questions regarding the future of NJPW World. While it might seem logical to migrate NJPW’s live events and tape library to Wrestle Universe, TV Asahi operates NJPW World and owns the other 46% of the company.
How these two media giants navigate distribution, and how closely NJPW will collaborate with the CyberFight umbrella promotions like NOAH and DDT, remain major question marks.
Notably, Bushiroad is keeping the booming Joshi promotion, STARDOM, which was completely excluded from the transaction.
Bushiroad purchased STARDOM in 2019 and initially placed it under the NJPW corporate umbrella.
In hindsight, a sign of today’s corporate restructuring came in April, when STARDOM was returned to being a wholly owned subsidiary of Bushiroad.
We will have much more analysis on this breaking story as the lead topic on this Thursday’s episode of The Flagship—streaming live Thursday night for our $10 tier subscribers!”

The May 23, 2026 NWA Powerrr took place at The OC Theatre in Forney, Texas, featuring a double main event for the NWA World Heavyweight Championship and the Crockett Cup finals.

Commentary & On-Screen Talent

Commentators: Joe Galli, Tim Storm, and The Pope
Interviewer: Kyle Davis
Ring Announcer: Kyle Davis

Match Results

1. Kiss My Boots Match – Eric Smalls defeated Daisy Kill
Kill started strong with a boot and mounted offense, but Smalls countered with an electric chair slam, inchworm, and bulldog to win. Per the stipulation, Kill kissed Smalls’ boots, then Smalls retaliated with a shot to Kill’s crotch. Gordon: “A most resourceful victory — he capitalized on a single opening.”

2. NWA World Heavyweight Championship – No Limits, Falls Count Anywhere Match – Silas Mason (c) defeated Bryan Idol
A chaotic, high-impact match saw both men exchanging chair shots, table impacts, and near falls. Idol nearly won with a double underhook suplex, but Mason countered and hit the Thrillride. The match ended with Mason retaining his title. Ed: “Mason is holding that championship like it’s the deed to his house!”

3. Crockett Cup 2026 Final Match – The Titans of Calamity (Ren Ayabe & Talos) defeated The Country Gentlemen (AJ Cazana & KC Cazana) (w/ Joe Cazana)
The Gentlemen initially dominated, but the Titans countered with a series of strikes and interference from Joe Cazana. The finish came after a brawl outside the ring, with Ayabe hitting the decisive blow. Ed: “That’s what you call blue‑collar wrestling — no frills, just fists!”

Notable Moments

The Crockett Cup finals saw The Titans of Calamity claim the Cup, with AJ Cazana promising a Disneyland trip afterward.
Doc Gallows and Karl Anderson commented on their loss, with The Slimeballz offering unsolicited advice.
The World Title match was praised for its high drama and near falls, with some calling it one of the year’s top matches.

This episode closed the 2026 Crockett Cup and set up future storylines, including Mason’s potential feud with Carson Drake.

NWA Worlds Champion Silas Mason Names Mick Foley and Kurt Angle as Career-Changing Influences

“Mason was asked about his early inspirations and who influenced him when he was younger. That’s when he pointed directly to Mick Foley as one of the first wrestlers who made a lasting impression on him. Mason explained that Foley stood out to him because he didn’t look like a traditional superstar, yet still found a way to connect with fans in a powerful way.

“It was Mick Foley when I was a kid. Fat guy, sweat pants, made everybody laugh, that whole thing. The Rock, Mick Foley, that whole era, but Mick Foley was one of those guys. It was never so much the hardcore stuff. It was the sympathy and could make you laugh and make you care about him. He could go from making you laugh to making you think it was that serious, like a heart attack.”

Mason didn’t stop there when discussing the people who shaped his path. He also credited Kurt Angle with pushing him to take wrestling seriously at a competitive level, something that directly impacted his life outside the ring. While reflecting on that decision, Mason explained how Angle’s success motivated him to join amateur wrestling — a move that paid off in a major way. “I joined the wrestling team because of Kurt Angle. I have two state wrestling championships because of that guy. So it would be Mick Foley and Kurt Angle.”“

📰 CMLL NEWS & RUMORS

Credit: thecubsfan.com

“Mascara Dorada and Xelhua appeared at the Los Angeles Dodgers Mexican Heritage Night. I can’t tell if the emojis there are referencing the earlier announcement or are meant to tease more news.

CMLL held a CMLL versus Press soccer game on Tuesday, to promote their summer of even more Arena Mexico shows marketed towards World Cup visitors. Team CMLL lost 3-1, with Raider scoring the only goal for the luchadors. This is the only victory the press has had in 2026. The press team notably included Paul Aguilar of Fox Sports. This is Aguilar’s retirement gig; the CMLL guys were facing someone who was on the 2010 and 2014 Mexican World Cup team. Aguilar had an assist and a goal. Team CMLL included Angel de Oro (goalie, as his father famously played), Niebla Roja, Audaz, Robin, Raider, Calavera Jr. I, Capitan Suicida, Neon, Vaquero Jr., Dragon de Fuego, as well as Alexis Salazar and Jorge Livan from the press department. La Tijera has about 12 minutes of footage if you want to dig it. As an American, I’m unqualified to conduct any in-depth analysis of soccer skills. Cuauhtemoc mayor Alessandra Rojo de la Vega was also on hand.

When he was working in Arena Naucalpan recently, Neon recalled that he had actually participated in a tryout for IWRG, did not pass, and was now returning as a star. Neon – then Prisamatic – wrestled Alom in the 2021 Tryout competition. He received eight of fifteen possible points from judges Eterno, Black Terry, and Heddi Karaoui (who is critical of him for wrestling too much like a Mistico clone.) Mas Lucha’s Vic Martz was in the chat when the show aired and wrote that they should’ve picked Prismatic (and also Alom), so point for him. The Tryout match aired in February 2021, and Neon debuted in July 2022, so he had to wait nearly 18 months more. He also would’ve had to wait much longer had he won the IWRG tryout and signed a contract with them.”

🎙️ DESK OUTRO

Ed: “Fans, both the NWA and CMLL delivered a week packed with grit, speed, and high drama. From studio brawls to lucha fireworks, the action just keeps escalating!”

Gordon: “Indeed. A most eventful week — championships threatened, rivalries sharpened, and momentum shifting across both promotions.”

🟥 NATIONAL WRESTLING ALLIANCE (NWA)

⭐ Current Direction

The Crockett Cup is looming, the World Title picture is boiling, and the COMET era continues to define the new identity of Powerrr.

🟧 NWA POWERRR — MAY 9, 2026 (FULL MATCH‑BY‑MATCH REVIEW)

📺 COMET TV — Studio‑style presentation, tight pacing, heavy storyline focus.

Location: OC Theatre in Forney, TX. Commentators: Joe Galli and Tim Storm with Da Pope.

🔥 MATCH 1 — Crockett Cup Quarterfinal Match: The Good Brothers (Doc Gallows and “Machine Gun” Karl Anderson)(No. 2 seed) vs. The SlimeBallz (Sage Chantz and Tommy Rant, with Aron Stevens) (No. 10 Seed)

Anderson starts the match by chopping Rant. Good Brothers dominate with Slimeballz trying to make a comeback before Gallows hits a roundhouse on Chantz. A Magic Killer and the Good Brothers advance.

Kyle Davis joins the Good Brothers in the ring where The SlimeBallz offer a Too Slimy in congratulations, but Anderson and Gallows just walk away.

Ed: “Fans, that’s raw horsepower on display!”

The Southern Six discuss their elimination in the Crockett Cup. Alex Taylor and Kerry Morton argue until NWA Worlds Heavyweight Champion, Silas Mason sets them straight.

🔥 MATCH 2 — Crockett Cup Quarterfinal Match: The Titans of Calamity (Jack Talos and Ren Ayabe) (No. 16 Seed) vs. El Dragón Nihan and Thom Latimer (No. 9 Seed)

The Titans are coming off of an upset of the NWA World Tag Team Champions, The Immortals. Latimer is pursuing his first Crockett Cup despite a ton of success in the NWA. He and Ayabe start out shoving, Latimer with a low bridge sending Ayabe outside. Latimer off of the top turnbuckle to the outside. Talos makes the save after an impact DDT. Latimer is unable to slam the big man. The match is interrupted by David Crockett talking about the Road Warriors winning the Crockett Cup. We are back with the Titans working over Latimer. Shades of the Hart Foundation get them a 2 count. Nihan with the blind tag and he takes out the AJPW World Tag Team Champions. Talos with a choke slam and the Titans with Ride the Lightning for the 3 count.

Gordon: “A most determined effort from the former champion.”

Wreckingball Legursky is on the Carson Drake Experience where he is mistreated by the host and jumped by the Wrestling Machines.

Damien Fenrir congratulates Alex Misery on his victory but it is not heartfelt as Fenrir exhibits his oversized ego.

Natalia Markova replaces Tim Storm on commentary.

🔥 MATCH 3 — The Burke Invitational Gauntlet

Seven women compete in this gauntlet where you can be eliminated by pinfall, submission or over the top rope to become the number one contender to the NWA Women’s World Championship and an anytime, anywhere opportunity at the championship. Hollyhood Haley J and Kylie Paige start out. Haley hits Paige with a boot to the face as the ref checks her wrestling shoes. Hollyhood with the upperhand when Shay Karmichael of Texas Style Wrestling joins the gauntlet. Karmichael tries to send Haley J over the top rope when Gretta is added to the match. After a break Gretta eliminates Haley J and Karmichael in quick succession. Gretta gets Kylie up but is interrupted by the entrance of Kenzie Paige. The sisters double team the monster until getting caught by a double clothesline. Morgan Mercey of NWA Texas joins the match making it the Paige sisters and two giants. Gretta eliminates Mercy over the top. Herra joins the match. Herra with shortarm clotheslines to one Kylie who is saved by Kenzie. Kenzie eliminates Herra but is betrayed by her sister and eliminated. Kylie and Gretta are left as we go to break. Back from break Tiffany Nieves is the last entrant. Kylie is double teamed and has to contend with TV-MA’s Miss Starr on the outside. Miss Starr is kicked out of ringside and kicks the ref in the lower abdominal region. Paige puts up a fight but is hit by a huge choke slam. Gretta puts Nieves on Paige who is pinned and eliminated. Gretta climbs over the top rope to eliminate herself giving Nieves the victory and an anytime, anywhere opportunity at the Burke held by Markova.

Ed: “Fans, that’s a collision waiting to happen!”
