The show starts at 4:00 p.m. JST\/3 a.m. EST live on NJPW World.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Headlining the card is a huge IWGP Jr. Heavyweight tag team title match, plus a welcome addition to the card for the big show on Monday at Ryogoku:<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>SHO &amp; DOUKI Face A Fresh Pairing<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Night two of the tour ended in shock, as DOUKI crushed El Desperado\u2019s reign as IWGP Jr. Heavyweight champion thanks to his tag team partner SHO. Tomorrow, they stand opposite each other again, this time for the tag titles.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Desperado\u2019s got a chance for retribution and a little bit of anonymity with his chosen partner, KUUKAI. KUUKAI, originally of Michinoku Pro, returns to Japan for a massive opportunity with NJPW after a couple of years in the Mexican independents.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Desperado also had his excursion in Mexico, where he also wrestled in the independent circuit, hence his decision to choose KUUKAI as his partner. Can he help Desperado snatch the Jr. tag titles away from DOUKI and SHO, or will the House of Torture still prevail?<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>IWGP Women\u2019s Championship Match Added To King of Pro-Wrestling Card<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Sareee will defend the IWGP Women\u2019s title against Syuri at King of Pro-Wrestling on Monday. This is a rematch from June at Stardom\u2019s Conversion show, where Sareee cut Syuri\u2019s reign with the title short on her first defense.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This is a welcome addition to an already big show at Ryogoku. The \u201cSun God\u201d seeks to strengthen her reign to four defenses, following her successful third against Alex Windsor at Ring of Honor, while Syuri aims to avenge her loss last June.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Here is the full card for tomorrow\u2019s show:<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>NJPW Road to King of Pro-Wrestling Preview &amp; Match Card &#8211; Night 4:<\/b><\/h2>\n<figure id=\"attachment_143613\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-143613\" style=\"width: 640px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-143613 size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/prowrestling\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/15\/2025\/10\/22-17-1024x576.jpg\" alt=\"A graphic for the NJPW Road to King of Pro-Wrestling, happening on October 11, 2025.\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" srcset=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/prowrestling\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/15\/2025\/10\/22-17-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/prowrestling\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/15\/2025\/10\/22-17-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/prowrestling\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/15\/2025\/10\/22-17-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/prowrestling\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/15\/2025\/10\/22-17-1536x864.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/prowrestling\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/15\/2025\/10\/22-17.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-143613\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Photo Credit: NJPW<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Main event: IWGP Jr. Heavyweight Tag Team Championship &#8211; SHO &amp; DOUKI (c) vs. El Desperado &amp; KUUKAI<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">6th match: Yuya Uemura, Yota Tsuji, Shingo Takagi, Titan &amp; Daiki Nagai vs.\u00a0 Gabe Kidd, David Finlay, Taiji Ishimori &amp; Gedo<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">5th match: Tomoaki Honma &amp; Yuya Uemura vs. Yuto-Ice &amp; OSKAR<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">4th match: Boltin Oleg, Toru Yano &amp; Tiger Mask vs. EVIL, Don Fale &amp; Dick Togo<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">3rd match: Clark Connors &amp; Drilla Moloney vs. SANADA &amp; Yoshinobu Kanemaru<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">2nd match: Shota Umino vs. Katsuya Murashima<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">1st match: Shoma Kato &amp; Tatsuya Matsumoto vs Zane Jay &amp; Masatora Yasuda<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>More From LWOS Pro Wrestling<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><em><span class=\"s1\">Header photo \u2013 NJPW \u2013 Stay tuned to the\u00a0\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/prowrestling\/\" target=\"_self\">Last Word on Pro Wrestling<\/a>\u00a0for more on NJPW Road to King of Pro-Wrestling Preview and other stories from around the world of wrestling, as they develop.
