Morning Bell: Naito Retains, NOAH Results and Tonight’s Raw Card

Monday, October 26, 2026 | Morning edition

Tetsuya Naito kept NOAH’s biggest championship, two other singles titles changed hands, and Kenoh wasted no time naming the champion’s next test. Sunday’s Wrestle Odyssey II delivered a full afternoon of results in Tokyo, emphasizing the NOAH results. In Mexico City, Queen Aminata and Esfinge picked up wins. Tonight, Raw puts the women’s title picture and a bitter No Disqualification rivalry in focus.

First, the dates matter. NOAH took place Sunday afternoon in Japan, not Sunday night in the United States. CMLL ran its Sunday Arena México show. There was no verified Sunday Raw or Collision episode to recap. Saturday’s Collision and AAA broadcasts are covered in yesterday’s complete Morning Bell. Below are Sunday’s actual NOAH results, the important promos and the verified Monday preview.

NOAH Wrestle Odyssey II: Every match and finish, including NOAH results

The October 25 event at Tokyo’s Ryogoku Kokugikan drew an announced 4,253 fans. The main card began at 3 p.m. Japan time, with the dark match at 2:40 p.m. There were nine main-card matches and one dark match, not ten televised main-card bouts. NOAH’s official results confirm the date, attendance and championship outcomes.

1. Dark match: Atsushi Kotoge and Hi69 defeated Hiroto Tsuruya and Hiroya Namiki. Kotoge pinned Namiki with the Bat Hanging Drop at 7:28.
2. GHC Junior Heavyweight Tag Championship: Jun Masaoka and YO-HEY retained against Alejandro and Daiki Odashima. Masaoka pinned Odashima after Ambitions at 13:20.
3. Four-way tag: Alpha Wolf and Tadasuke won over BUSHI and RYUSEI, Tetsuya Endo and Yuto Koyanagi, and Black Menso-re and Kazuyuki Fujita. Alpha Wolf pinned Koyanagi with a package piledriver at 4:17.
4. The Final Maybach: Masa Kitamiya and Takashi Sugiura defeated KENTA and Maybach Taniguchi. Kitamiya pinned Taniguchi after a diving senton at 10:48.
5. GHC200 Championship: Shuji Kondo defeated HAYATA by count-out to win the title. The official time was 131 seconds, or 2:11. The belt did change hands on the count-out.
6. Kaito Kiyomiya and Yoshiki Inamura defeated Kenoh and Kouga. Kiyomiya pinned Kouga with the Skywalk Elbow at 25:15.
7. GHC National Championship: Luis Mante defeated Naomichi Marufuji to win the title. Mante’s decisive powerbomb ended the match at 12:22.
8. GHC Tag Championship: Manabu Soya and Yuki Iino retained in a three-way against TMDK’s Mikey Nicholls and Shane Haste and the Good Brothers’ Doc Gallows and Karl Anderson. Iino pinned Haste with the Passion Clutch at 15:05.
9. GHC Junior Heavyweight Championship: Kai Fujimura retained against Dragon Bane. Fujimura used the Death Hanger for the pin at 15:40.
10. GHC Heavyweight Championship: Tetsuya Naito retained against OZAWA. Naito won with Destino at 25:47, completing his first successful defense.

Fightful’s complete card report supplies the participants and outcomes. Wrestling-Infos’ detailed results supply the pinning wrestlers and move sequences, checked against NOAH. For GHC200, the time above follows NOAH’s official 131-second entry.

Naito survives OZAWA, then Kenoh steps forward

The main event was not a quiet champion-versus-challenger contest. Team 2000X and Los Tranquilos became involved around the match. In the closing stretch, Naito countered OZAWA’s Big Ben Edge into Destino, but that only earned two. Another Destino finally secured the championship defense.

Kenoh confronted Naito afterward. His message centered on who had done more for NOAH and who should lead it. Kenoh argued that his years in the promotion gave him a deeper claim than Naito’s shorter run. He challenged the champion for November 9. Monthly Puroresu’s main-event report details the finish and confrontation.

That challenge is now more than a post-match demand. NOAH officially announced Naito against Kenoh for the GHC Heavyweight Championship on November 9 at Korakuen Hall. The event starts at 6:30 p.m. Japan time and is listed for Wrestle Universe. Monday’s official announcement confirms the match.

Analysis: Kenoh gave the next defense a clear argument. Winning the championship is one claim to leadership. Spending years carrying the company is another. The match can test those competing claims without pretending Sunday’s challenger was already Kenoh. OZAWA lost the defense; Kenoh stepped forward afterward.

The other NOAH stories: New champions and unfinished business

Luis Mante’s breakthrough: The former Mysterious Phantom Invader ended Marufuji’s National title reign with a pop-up powerbomb. Mante, who has worked in Dragongate since 2019, now has a major singles championship in NOAH. Fightful’s title-change report confirms the finish and his earlier masked identity.

Kondo used the rules: GHC200 matches have a 200-second limit, but HAYATA did not make it that far as champion. Kondo’s count-out win transferred the belt. That is a championship decision under this title’s rules, not a time-limit draw. Fightful’s separate championship report confirms the unusual title change.

The Final Maybach was not Taniguchi’s final career match. After the loss, Taniguchi removed the mask and bowed. KENTA described the moment as moving, but said Taniguchi still had two matches remaining. That distinction keeps a farewell to the character from becoming an inaccurate retirement result.

The tag champions already have challengers waiting. KENTA and Tetsuya Endo called out Soya and Iino. The champions said they were ready, while the challengers pressed NOAH to set the date. The backstage exchange itself did not provide a confirmed date.

More from the interviews: Mante invited challengers. Marufuji admitted Mante had outperformed him but insisted he was not finished. Kouga raised the prospect of further training after his defeat. Naito pushed for bigger crowds and higher standards, saying he intended to stay in NOAH. Those comments come from NOAH’s full post-show interview report, rather than an invented account of unseen backstage scenes.

Analysis: Sunday produced more than a defended world title. Mante and Kondo changed the singles picture, while KENTA and Endo gave the tag division a direction. The useful next step is to follow what NOAH books from those challenges, not turn every demand into an already signed match.

CMLL Sunday results: Aminata and Esfinge win

Arena México’s October 25 Domingo Familiar show produced these seven reported outcomes:

• Pequeño Sky Team (Galaxy, Kaligua and Pequeño Magia) defeated Metales Explosivos (Full Metal, Pequeño Pólvora and Rostro de Acero).
• Stigma, Arkalis and Rayo Metálico defeated Virus, Cancerbero and Shoma Kato in two-out-of-three falls.
• Zeuxis and Kira defeated Alice Crowley and Mei Seira.
• Skadi defeated Masha Slamovich in a lightning match.
• Bárbaro Cavernario, Yutani and Niebla Roja defeated Dragón Rojo Jr., Dragón de Fuego and Dragón Legendario in two-out-of-three falls.
• Queen Aminata defeated India Sioux in a lightning match.
• Esfinge defeated Volador Jr.

Fightful’s full Sunday results list confirms those outcomes. It does not provide detailed winning moves or a complete promo transcript. This section is therefore a results roundup, not a claimed move-by-move review.

AEW update: The Last Outfit becomes The Cut

There is an important follow-up to yesterday’s Collision recap. Jay White introduced his alliance as The Last Outfit during Saturday’s broadcast. AEW subsequently released a digital-exclusive promo in which he called the group The Cut, and the promotion’s recap was changed to use that name.

The group includes White, Juice Robinson, Austin Gunn, Colten Gunn, Ace Austin, David Finlay and Clark Connors. White’s focus remains Jon Moxley and the Death Riders, including Moxley’s Continental Championship. POST Wrestling’s report tracks the digital promo and the changed recap.

No verified explanation for the name change has been given. It would be speculation to blame trademark concerns, fan reaction or a backstage dispute. The accurate update is simply that Saturday’s spoken introduction and AEW’s later presentation used different names.

Tonight’s Raw: Four matches, three women’s stories

Raw streams live tonight, Monday, October 26, at 8 p.m. Eastern, 5 p.m. Pacific, on Netflix from Save Mart Center in Fresno, California. WWE’s event announcement confirms Fresno, and its current match previews confirm the broadcast. These are announced matches, not results.

Stephanie Vaquer vs. Becky Lynch, Women’s World Championship No. 1 contender’s match. The winner earns a match with Liv Morgan. WWE says Vaquer has been cleared after a lower-body injury. That is the promotion’s stated clearance, not an independent medical assessment. WWE’s official preview confirms the stakes.

The dispute grew out of last Monday’s argument over who should challenge Morgan. Lynch wanted the first opportunity while Vaquer was being checked by a trainer. Vaquer insisted she could beat Lynch even on one leg; Lynch proposed settling the issue in a contender’s match. PWTorch’s October 19 report provides that promo context. Saturday’s clearance announcement removed the stated obstacle to booking it.

Bayley vs. Lyra Valkyria, No Disqualification. Last Monday, Bayley’s distraction helped Lola Vice finish Lyra with MIA. Lyra attacked Bayley afterward, but Bayley sent her over the barricade and issued the No DQ challenge. Tonight’s official match page confirms the stipulation.

IYO SKY vs. Raquel Rodriguez, non-title. Rodriguez is the Women’s Intercontinental Champion, but her belt is not on the line tonight. Wrestling Observer reports that Adam Pearce teased a path to a future title opportunity for IYO. WWE’s written preview does not state an automatic title-shot stipulation. Last week’s tag match gives IYO reason for confidence: she countered Raquel’s Tejana Bomb for the winning pin. WWE’s match preview identifies this as a non-title contest.

Chad Gable and Dragon Lee vs. Ethan Page and Big Cass. Gable retained the Intercontinental Championship against Rey Mysterio and Dragon Lee last Monday, countering Rey into a pin. Page and Cass attacked all three afterward. Now Gable and Lee have a shared reason to cooperate. WWE confirms tonight’s tag match; its October 19 recap records the setup for these feuds.

Analysis: The women’s matches do different jobs. Vaquer and Lynch determine Morgan’s next challenger. IYO wants to strengthen her case for a title match. Bayley and Lyra get a fight with fewer protections. Keeping those stakes separate makes the card stronger than calling all three championship matches. Page and Cass also have a chance to show that last week’s ambush can turn into a result when their opponents are ready.

Also tonight: CMLL’s Puebla card

CMLL lists its October 26 Lunes Clásico at 8 p.m. Puebla time, 10 p.m. Eastern. The six announced matches are:

• Máscara Dorada, Neón and Esfinge vs. Último Guerrero, Gran Guerrero and Stuka Jr.
• Rey del Inframundo qualifier: Xelhua, Arkalis, Rayo Metálico, Rey Apocalipsis, Stigma and Kheops.
• India Sioux, Skadi and Kira vs. Olympia, Reyna Isis and Hera.
• Johnnie Robbie vs. Alice Crowley in a lightning match.
• Marcela and La Magnífica vs. Princesa Sugehit and Sanely.
• Three-way tag: Asturiano and Astro vs. Águila Egipcia and Rey Espartano vs. Lucky and Black Onix.

CMLL’s official Puebla listing supplies the card and local start time. A free live stream has not been verified, so this is an event preview, not a promise of free viewing.

The final bell

Analysis: Naito left Sunday with the championship and an opponent already demanding accountability. Mante left with a career-building win. Tonight’s Raw has similarly clear questions: who gets Morgan, can IYO make her title case, and can Bayley and Lyra settle anything when disqualification is off the table?

For readers catching up, Sunday’s Late Bell has the broader week-ahead guide, while yesterday’s Morning Bell contains the full Collision and AAA match-and-promo reports. This edition advances those stories without presenting Saturday’s wrestling as last night’s show.

Results and announcements checked Monday, October 26. Future cards remain subject to change. Analysis is labeled; no unverified rumor is presented as a completed result or confirmed match.
