“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 COMET era of Powerrr continues to settle into a gritty, studio‑wrestling rhythm. This week’s episode delivered a clean mix of title implications, character movement, and a heavyweight main event with real stakes.

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.”

Latest signings

“According to a report from Fightful Select, indie wrestler Hayden Backlund has signed with the NWA after spending the last several months competing for the promotion. During that run, Backlund appeared in a National Title match and also competed in this year’s Crockett Cup. He had previously been a regular on NWA Exodus events as well.

Backlund, who hails from the Buffalo area, also gained early-career experience in AEW, where he worked several matches against talent including Best Friends and Miro, among others.”

“According to a report from Fightful Select, 19-year-old independent wrestler Liviyah has signed with the National Wrestling Alliance. While additional details regarding the deal are still emerging, the signing reportedly became official within the last few months.

Despite her young age, Liviyah has already built an impressive resume on the independent scene, competing for over two and a half years and amassing close to 200 matches. She has also become a familiar face at Wrestling Open events.

Liviyah previously appeared at the NWA TV tapings in February, where she challenged for both the NWA World Women’s Championship and the NWA Women’s Television Championship.”

📰 MLW NEWS & RUMORS

✔ Doc Gallows talks about Festus

Credit: WrestleZone

““I looked into it to make sure that I was safe. And I talked to my trademark lawyer about it, so we’re in the process of that now, just in case. But I hadn’t thought about that in a long time,” Gallows explained. “Machine Gun and I have been going everywhere. [And at] all of these shows and meet and greets and conventions that you do, we were shocked by the amount of people who would ask about Festus.

“Because I didn’t think there was a huge demand to see Festus. I kinda put him—he goes in a certain gimmick category, if you will, without bringing up any other names. But the interest really, really seemed to be there.””

✔ Brick Savage signs multi year deal.

“The 37-year-old Brick Savage was recently seen defeating Mad Dog Connelly at GCW Effy’s Big Gay Brunch 11 on April 18, 2026. At the WWE WrestleMania 42 weekend, he also wrestled in the Clusterf**k match at GCW Joey Janela’s Spring Break. A regular name on the indies, he has also frequently wrestled for promotions such as Revolver, MPX, New Texas Pro, and many more. He is also currently the Mat War Pro Super Openweight Champion.”

✔ Krule releases statement on Berwyn confrontation

Credit: WrestlingHeadlines.com

““Two weeks ago, I prepared a statement to address this situation. Once I had handled some business that needed to be addressed before releasing, I read what I had written. In doing so I felt how disingenuous my original written statement was. Thus, I decided to stop, reassess, and be more open to the public. I am speaking to all of you now not as a character, but as myself.

“During the event, there was an altercation with a fan, whom I had had several incidents with throughout the night, including physically shoving myself during my entrance and another fan who was trying to purchase merchandise after the show. In this moment, I reacted and threw a punch. During that incident, I sustained an injury to my side that once I had returned to the locker room was discovered by staff at Berwyn. I do not know how this injury occurred, only that it occurred during the incident. Staff and wrestlers helped bandage me and tend to the wound. I left and was taken to take a shower and driven to the airport, as I had an early flight the next morning for another booking. I awoke in the airport to calls from my family in tears, “Did you get stabbed?” I had no idea what was happening, then I saw that story had been put out on social media. To be absolutely clear, I never wanted nor asked that this story be represented as fact nor made public. I was contacted by law enforcement, and I fully cooperated with that process. I was asked if I wanted to pursue an investigation | declined. I told the detective I did not believe I was stabbed, but I had probably fallen on something during the altercation.

“I regret not addressing this immediately and allowing misinformation and assumptions to circulate without clarification. I apologize for not negating the claim to the public. I pride myself in blurring the lines of reality, but I understand this was not one those times.

“Now comes the part of all of this I have struggled with most, throwing a punch. I have been angry, remorseful, and every emotion in-between. However, it finally hit me like a brick wall, I was in the wrong. Regardless of the situation and the things that occurred, it was my job to be a professional. In hindsight, many decisions made differently could have changed the situation’s outcome. I could have addressed the situation to management when I knew he was a problem. I could have made the decision not to go sell merch after the show to avoid potential conflict. I could have been a professional and I failed. Thus, I accept full responsibility for everything that occurred. I failed as professional. I have always taken pride in being professional and being a team player with every person I have worked for in my career. I failed and made a bad decision.

“To the wrestlers, fans, and promotions that have been affected by the aftermath of the situation and my bad decision, no words can change what has been done but I do apologize. I have spent more time over these last few weeks hurting emotionally because I hurt each and every one of you. I am sorry. Majority of you don’t know me, the person, only as what I portray as a character, but this incident is not a reflection of who 1 am. I care about professional wrestling more than I’ve shown through this situation. I will reflect that going forward.””
