NJPW Destruction in Kobe live results: Sabre vs. Narita IWGP title match

The IWGP World Heavyweight title is on the line in the main event of NJPW Destruction in Kobe today.

Zack Sabre Jr. defends the title against Ren Narita by way of Narita defeating Sabre in a non-title match in this year’s G1 Climax 35 tournament. Narita also holds a victory over Sabre from the 2024 New Japan Cup, and is 2-1 overall in singles matches against the champion.

Shingo Takagi challenges Gabe Kidd for the IWGP Global Championship in the semi-main event today. David Finlay and Yota Tsuji square off in a special singles match second from the top, their third singles meeting of 2025, each holding a victory over the other.

Hiromu Takahashi will defend the GHC Junior Heavyweight Championship against Taiji Ishimori, Taichi and Tomohiro Ishii defend the IWGP Tag titles against Oskar and Yuto-Ice, plus Boltin Oleg defends the NEVER Openweight title against Don Fale in the night’s other championship matches.

Hiroshi Tanahashi wrestles Great-O-Khan for perhaps the final time in a special singles match second on today’s card.

The show opens with Shota Umino, YOSHI-HASHI, and Yuya Uemura taking on EVIL, SANADA, and Dick Togo in a trios bout.

Main Card

El Desperado, Shota Umino, YOH, YOSHI-HASHI & Yuya Uemura defeated House Of Torture (Dick Togo, DOUKI, EVIL, SANADA & SHO)

(Couldn’t have asked for a more exciting opener for tonight. I think there might be some magic in an alliance between Uemura and Umino.)

Narita joined DOUKI in assaulting Desperado that resulted in the latter two brawling outside. YOSHI-HASHI and YOH did the same to SHO; the former’s legs collided with the ring post courtesy of DOUKI and SHO. Chaos erupted, but Umino distinguished it, scoring a comeback with athleticism. SANADA hampered this with a dropkick to Umino and a low blow to Uemura.

EVIL rescued Togo after a failed Dick-to-Dick Contact, only to receive a double-dropkick by Uemura and Umino for his troubles. Uemura snapped Togo in for a hurricanrana, capturing him for a pinfall.
