🟦 DESK OUTRO

Ed: “Fans, from Korakuen to Oberhausen to the HonorClub arena, this week felt like a world tour of pure wrestling adrenaline!”

Gordon: “Indeed. A most dynamic period across all promotions — and the developments ahead promise even greater intrigue.”

Around the World of Pro Wrestling 6/8/26: ROH, Stardom, wXw, NOAH, AJPW and Top 25.

🎙️ Rundown — ROH, Stardom, wXw, NOAH, AJPW (since June 1, 2026)

Told by Ed & Gordon.

Desk intro

Ed: “Fans, the first week of June has been a world tour of ring wars! From HonorClub to Japan to Germany, every promotion we’re looking at tonight has been swinging for the fences!”

Gordon: “Quite so. A most expansive landscape — championships defended, tournaments unfolding, and numerous athletes striving to elevate their standing.”

Ring of Honor (ROH)

Overall direction

  • Post–Supercard of Honor momentum: ROH is in the “reset and reload” phase after Supercard of Honor on May 15, with HonorClub TV tightening around champions, proving‑ground matches, and spotlight bouts.
  • Focus on Pure and Women’s divisions: Multiple Proving Ground matches are being used to set up future title defenses.

ROH on HonorClub — Episode 169 (aired June 4, 2026)

Ed: “This week’s HonorClub show was a clean, focused hour — no fluff, just wrestlers trying to climb the ladder!”

Full results, as taped May 18 in Jacksonville and aired this week:

    • Highlight: Veteran timing from The Kingdom; they cut the ring in half and finished with their double‑team finisher.
  • Singles Match
    • Queen Aminata def. Lacey Lane
    • Highlight: Aminata continues to be framed as a rising force in the women’s division.
  • ROH Women’s Pure Title — Proving Ground Match
    • Deonna Purrazzo (c) def. Isla Dawn
    • Highlight: Technical showcase; Purrazzo leaned on submissions and counters to keep Dawn at bay.
  • ROH Pure Title — Proving Ground Match
    • Lee Moriarty (c) def. Mance Warner
    • Highlight: Clash of styles — Moriarty’s grappling vs. Warner’s brawling — with the Pure rules structure favoring the champion.
  • ROH Women’s World Title — Proving Ground Match
    • Athena (c) def. Hyan
    • Highlight: Athena’s dominant aura remains intact; she’s still presented as the division’s final boss.

Gordon: “A most efficient broadcast — champions reinforcing their status while prospective challengers test the waters.”

ROH news & rumors

  • Athena’s reign: Still treated as the cornerstone of the women’s side; no immediate end in sight.
  • Moriarty & Purrazzo: Both Pure‑style champions are being positioned as workhorse centerpieces for HonorClub.
  • The Kingdom: Their win keeps them in the conversation for future tag title contention.

Stardom

Ed: “Over in Japan, Stardom’s been running like a high‑speed train — factions jockeying for position, titles constantly under threat, and the summer calendar filling up fast!”

Current direction

  • Post–Cinderella/Queendom season: Stardom is in its usual early‑summer phase, using We Are Stardom!! TV to recap big‑show matches and feature shorter TV bouts that keep factions and feuds warm.
  • Factions in focus: Oedo Tai, God’s Eye, Queen’s Quest, and STARS continue to be the backbone of the storytelling, with tag and trios combinations rotating heavily.
  • Title scene: World and Wonder of Stardom champions are typically protected on TV, with most defenses saved for bigger events; TV leans on tag, trios, and undercard singles.

We Are Stardom!!

Because Stardom’s weekly TV is a mix of recap and clipped matches, the exact cards vary by broadcast region and are not fully published in advance. In broad strokes:

  • Tag/trios matches featuring combinations from major factions.
  • One or two spotlight singles matches to highlight rising names or set up future title challenges.
  • Video packages recapping recent big‑show title matches and angles.

Gordon: “A most consistent presentation — emphasizing units, long‑term rivalries, and gradual elevation of emerging competitors.”

Gordon: “A most industrious promotion — maximizing its platform to maintain narrative continuity between major events.”

Pro Wrestling NOAH

Ed: “NOAH’s been throwing some serious thunder — big strikes, big stakes, and that classic green‑ring aura every time they roll out a card.”

Current direction

  • Post–major show cycle: Early June NOAH typically runs smaller tour stops while building to the next Korakuen or arena event, with NOAH the HOME / NOAH Time packaging matches and features.
  • Heavyweight scene: The GHC Heavyweight Champion is usually protected on smaller shows, working tags while challengers are teased.
  • Junior division: Fast‑paced tags and multi‑man matches keep the junior title scene hot.

NOAH Time / streaming content

Recent weekly content generally includes:

  • Multi‑man tags featuring the top units (e.g., Kongoh, Stinger, etc.).
  • One or two key singles matches per taping to inch toward future title bouts.
  • Backstage comments that set up the next tour stop or big show.

All Japan Pro Wrestling (AJPW)

Ed: “And then you’ve got All Japan — the King’s Road spirit still alive, with heavyweights knocking lumps out of each other and the juniors trying to steal the show every chance they get!”

Current direction

  • Triple Crown picture: The champion often works tags on tour while the next challenger is established through singles wins or tournament performance.
  • World Tag & Jr. titles: Frequently defended or at least teased in undercards and semi‑mains on smaller shows.

Beanquet / streaming output

  • Show recaps from recent live events (Korakuen and regional stops).
  • Select full matches — often title bouts or key tournament matches.
  • Interview segments with champions and veterans reflecting on upcoming defenses.

The show started with a recap of Athena advancing in the Owen Hart Classic against Mina Shirakawa.

“* AEW National Championship Match: Mark Davis def. Adam Priest

* Anthony Ogogo def. Darian Bengston.

* Mance Warner threw out a challenge to Lee Moriarty for ROH Pure Championship match. A Proving Ground match was announced for next week’s show. In addition, Deonna Purrazzo will face Isla Dawn in a ROH Pure Championship Proving Ground match. Ed: “Moriarty’s wrestling like a man who’s memorized every page of the Pure Rulebook!”

* Pure Rules Match: Viva Van def. Rachael Ellering.

* Angelico def. Oro.

* Caprice Coleman sat down with Athena and congratulated her on her title reign. He asked her if it’s surprised her how long it’s gone. She said that her persona had shifted and she was tired of being a team player who was stuck doing matches on AEW Dark and Elevation, and that the shift led to her becoming the most dominant champion in not Ring of Honor or anywhere else. She said that people think of her now when they think about ROH and that people have a job because of her. She added that when the right person comes along and proves to her that they can be champion, they will deserve it.

* Maya World def. Trish Adora.

* Stori Denali def. Brooke Havok.

* ROH World Trios Championship Proving Ground Match: The Outrunners & Dalton Castle def. The Frat House.

* Ian Riccaboni interviewed The Lethal Swirl. He questioned their recent actions and Blake Christian said they were were the most creative and most exciting team in Ring of Honor, even more than The Outrunners and Dalton Castle, and were ready to prove it.

* The Lethal Swirl def. Il Cartello Grillo.”

“* ROH World Championship Match: Bandido def. Volador Jr. This match was from CMLL at Arena Mexico last week. Gordon: “A most resilient champion — Bandido continues to withstand every challenger placed before him.”

* ROH World Television Championship Match: AR Fox def. Dezmond Xavier.”

World champion Sayaka Kurei and challenger Suzu Suzuki engage in a heated brawl after the match: ‘You’re mocking me!’ / 5/31 Kyoto Translated from Japanese with some obvious misgendering. “In the match, Tetsu defeated Kanaya with Yokubari☆Rock. With his team winning, Suzuki grabbed Kurei’s hair, glared at her, and threw her into the ring. Then Kuri finally spurted out. She attacked Suzuki, who was commenting backstage. When he elbowed Suzuki, who was lying on her back with his emotions exposed, Suzuki was furious. He switched bodies and fought back in a mounted position. Suzuki shouted, “If you want to say something, say it!” Kurei snapped, “You make fun of me!” He retorted. But Suzuki sneered and spat out, “It’s the one who’s being mocked!” Kurei was no match either. “I’ve won the champion and have the red belt. I have no reason for you to talk nonsense!” Watching the champion, the challenger fearlessly warned, “Don’t think you’re stronger just because you wore the red belt. I’ll take this,” and left the scene. There are still 20 days left until the decisive battle, but both sides are already heating up.”

“They (wXw) wrote the following under one of their Instagram posts, where a fan asked if their True Colors event would air on TrillerTV. 

“We would very much like to stream on Triller. Unfortunately they haven’t paid us for anything we streamed there since October and haven’t responded to any emails since they laid off our person in charge. We are unable to stream on a service that doesn’t pay its contributors.”

Fans can read more about AEW’s lawsuit by clicking here.”

Ed: “wXw keeps that European pressure‑cooker vibe—small buildings, loud fans, and matches that feel like they matter even when there’s no belt on the line.”

Gordon: “Continuity is their hallmark. Each taping adds incremental weight to existing rivalries rather than resetting the board.”

Stardom World touring pattern

  • Spring typically features unit‑based tours—Queen’s Quest, Oedo Tai, God’s Eye, STARS, and Donna del Mondo cycling through Korakuen, Osaka, and regional buildings.
  • Cards on Stardom World usually center on:
    • Artist of Stardom (trios) defenses or teases
    • Goddess (tag) and Wonder/World title build
    • Faction‑vs‑faction multi‑woman tags that set up singles challenges.

Current‑style directions

  • World & Wonder title scenes: the top two singles belts remain the axis—champions working tags and non‑title matches while challengers are built through tournament blocks or pinning them in tags.
  • Unit tension: Stardom continues to lean on betrayals, draft‑style reshuffles, and “loser leaves unit” stakes to keep factions fresh.

Ed: “Fans, Stardom’s running like a finely tuned machine—factions, titles, and just enough chaos to keep you guessing!”

Gordon: “A most intricate ecosystem—alliances and rivalries constantly in flux.”

🟩 Westside Xtreme Wrestling (wXw)

General landscape since late April

  • wXw’s spring schedule usually revolves around post‑16 Carat Gold fallout and build toward summer events like Shortcut to the Top.
  • Recent shows on wXwNOW tend to feature:
    • Ambition‑style shooters and strong‑style imports
    • Tag title programs with European teams and visiting talent
    • A strong focus on the academy graduates in openers and midcard.

Current‑style directions

  • GHC Heavyweight picture:
    • Champion often pins or is pinned in tags to set up the next Korakuen or big‑arena defense.
  • Junior division:
    • Still one of NOAH’s calling cards—fast, intricate tags and title matches that often steal the show.
  • Cross‑promotional threads:
    • NOAH continues to be part of the broader CyberFight ecosystem, with occasional crossover teases involving DDT or TJPW talent on big shows.

Ed: “Fans, NOAH’s still hitting like a freight train—those forearms echo all the way to the cheap seats!”

Gordon: “A most physical presentation—stiff strikes, rugged pacing, and high stakes.”
