The United States isn’t the only international market New Japan is expanding into, and they’ll continue the build from G1 Climax 29 to Wrestle Kingdom 14 with a show from London on Sat., Aug. 31 - Royal Quest!

The action is taking place in Copper Box Arena, and you can purchase the pay-per-view (PPV) stream on Fite.TV (New Japan says the show will be uploaded to their NJPW World streaming service “in September”).

We’ll have results from a show featuring for championship bouts and all New Japan’s big names starting with the opening bell at 5:30PM BST / 12:30PM EDT. Follow along with the best darn wrestling community on the interwebs - right here!

The Fite stream is really messed up, with lags and sound issues galore, but we’ll hang in there and tell you what we can folks!

- Rocky Romero, SHO & YOH def. Ryusuke Taguchi, Shota Umino & Ren Narita

- Kota Ibushi & Juice Robinson def. Yujiro Takahashi & Hikuleo (Ibushi pinned Hikuleo after hitting Kamigoye)

- Will Ospreay & Robbie Eagles def. Taiji Ishimori & El Phantasmo, pinning Ishimori after tandem splashes from the top rope; afterwards, Ospreay grabbed a mic to challenge ELP & Ishimori to put their IWGP Jr. Heavyweight Tag titles on the line in a rematch

- Tetsuya Naito & SANADA def. Jay White & Chase Owens via submission (Owens taps to SANADA’s Skull End); Bullet Club attacks post-match, but Naito ends that with Destino on Switchblade

- Guerrillas of Destiny def. Aussie Open to retain the IWGP Tag Team titles

- KENTA def. Tomohiro Ishii, becoming the NEW NEVER Openweight champion via pinfall after a GTS (and G.o.D. interference); I’d be surprised if KENTA wasn’t concussed midway through this

- Hiroshi Tanahashi def. Zack Sabre Jr. to become the NEW for the RPW British Heavyweight title via pinfall after High Fly Flow

- Kazuchika Okada def. Minoru Suzuki to retain the IWGP Heavyweight championship via pinfall after a tombstone and Rainmaker; SANADA is out afterwards to challenge the Ace

Enjoy the show!
