02:55春の頂点を決める戦いをニュージャパンカップ2026決勝戦パラムニューマンvs
02:56ウエムラユウヤ
03:12フレンチャー
03:25What a difference a year, mate.
03:29This time last year, Kyle Newman bounced in the first round of the New Japan Cup to Tetsuya
03:38Naito, and it was just a few weeks later, Newman pinned Naito to become the youngest IWGP Tag Team
03:44Champion in history.
03:47His partner left the promotion the very next night, and from there, Wocallum took matters
03:53into his own hands, became the youngest ever to challenge for IWGP, Himwe Gold, opposite
03:59Hioki Goto, and nobody believed in him, he was the ultimate underdog.
04:07And through it all, a lot of criticism, well you're Will Ospreay Jr., you're this, you're
04:12that, you can never be a top guy on your own.
04:16Newman felt he was abandoned not just by his partners, his teammates, but by the fans as
04:21well.
04:25That abandonment has become the greatest strength that Kyle Newman could have asked for, and he
04:31may be, Walker, the youngest to ever raise the New Japan Cup here tonight in our main event.
04:48He is the Prince who looks to be crowned the King, and to hold the New Japan Cup Trophy for
05:06the first time ever in his career.

05:2853
05:3246
05:54as far as calum newman goes a man who is going to be defined by a win loss or draw
05:59that we can see in this match up here tonight by what no one has ever done before him but
06:06for
06:06yuyu lamora it's all about what has been done by previous winners of new japan cup new japan cup
06:11winners have come left right and center out of hontai but the last few years hontai has been
06:16really lacking a new japan cup trophy it is on yuyu lamora to bring the strength to hontai
06:21and it must come not over but through calum newman here tonight in your main event of the evening
06:29heat storm uemura yuya
06:38the last hontai winner at the new japan cup katsuyo shibata in 2017.
06:50and that has to raise the question walker
06:53in recent years i mean we count down from there
07:02from shibata zack saber jr in 18 katsuyo kakada 19 for chaos but then 2020 evil yes 21 will osprey
07:12right at
07:13his most vicious 22 with saber again sanado has he found something new yota suji and especially david
07:21finley last year it brings to mind a certain style and my question is does umura have what it takes
07:28is he
07:29willing to get his hands dirty enough to get his hands on the cup
07:36we've seen at times it was icing korakuin hall that brought a different kind of fire out of yuyu
07:43or amura and i think you have to be a bit of a bastard to be successful in this business
07:49we know human's a bit of a bastard he's yuyu
07:58it is one fall no time limit the final of new japan cup
08:032026 on this night one man to win new japan cup trophy gold for the first time in their career
08:10and write their name into history but history could become all the more special for calum newman could
08:15call himself the youngest ever new japan cup winner at the age of 23 years old and if that means
08:20newman
08:21would go on to base yota suji on april 4th and ryokoku sumoho could become the youngest ever iwgp
08:27heavyweight champion of all time yeah certainly as we saw in that video package uh human looking to
08:33sparse the youngest cup winner which was kazuchiko kata at the age of 25 and uh he would still be
08:41a
08:41few months younger than shinsuke nakamura was when he won the iwgp heavyweight championship from
08:47uriyoshi tenzan back in 2004 he certainly newman is very heavily motivated by that
08:57simply said i did ask him as he came into the building you know are you are you giving thought
09:02to that to that youngest label and he said yeah because it means doing that means i'm better than
09:08okada means i'm better than shinsuke nakamura it means i'm better than will osprey it means i'm better
09:13than happy people oh i think it's going to be a very pointed comment when it comes to reference
09:18with will osprey a man who made a shocking turn at ulta general gymnasium 2026 new year dash
09:25stood alongside united empire looked calenuma directly in the eyes and said well whenever i'm
09:30fully healed whenever i'm fully healthy i want to return to new japan pro wrestling and i want to take
09:34over alongside you we can do it together the way that we should have done all those years ago when
09:39you
09:39first came in to new japan and calen newman i mean we didn't see it but we saw it we
09:44knew what was
09:45going through the mind of newman when that happened we know that part of the motivation newman has been
09:50very vocal about it in this tournament has been to overcome a man who was once a mentor and yet
09:55another
09:56individual the first individual to leave new japan pro wrestling and leave newman in the dust that was will
10:01osprey certainly that is a way of played out practically i think might be a little bit different
10:10to that narrative but that's definitely the narrative that newman has in his mind
10:19you know osprey is watching us live right now on njpw world and sent messages of support to
10:26calen newman just last night let's talk about last night let's talk about what brought these
10:33two men to the dance here tonight yu yu umura put down bolt to know like an incredible semi-final
10:38matchup but you have to know yu yu umura is killing it of course all the way up and down
10:42his spine
10:43such a power-paced athlete yu umura was tossed pillar to post last night chris yeah and uh so was
10:49khan newman dropped several times on his head he said he's feeling a lot of neck issues here today
10:55and uh despite the fact that newman has had the shortest in-ring time over the course of this new
11:01japan cup all of that ring time has been very very physical i mean he only just passed the one
11:09hour mark
11:10in uh in the tournament just yesterday with that 30 minute plus matchup but at the same time a lot
11:18of
11:19licks that he's taken over the course of those matches i mean super heavyweights oscar hartley
11:24jackson that's a tough pair hiroki goto you know i mean there's nothing that goto does that doesn't
11:30hurt you and then shoto umino really pushed newman to the brink yesterday
11:39chris talk to me a little bit about your expectations in this matchup there's going to be a
11:43prime difference in pacing between yu yu umura and calum newman there always has been ever since the two met
11:48first met back in g135 just of one year ago as oh calum newman is sent directly into that steel
11:56barricade it's an 0-1 record that's going to favor or more going into tonight but that can't be anywhere
12:00on either man's mind right now no newman has uh had a very different attitude uh going into the g1
12:07climax than he does uh here tonight and i think as much as umura now taking control if i were
12:16him
12:16yeah i'd do exactly what he did just there which is bring newman back inside the room i don't think
12:21umura is capable of winning a street fight with calum newman i don't want him to be in that position
12:26uh albeit i mean we have seen as i alluded to you know last year those those there are moments
12:33where
12:33america can get hardcore right it was yu yu umura and uto ice that we saw back in cork and
12:39hall but
12:39that was a very personal issue between uomura and ice that have been four or five years in the making
12:44by that yeah i mean uomura does not have that same motivation besides the will to succeed in this cup
12:49against calum newman and that has been the you know the point of a lot of detractors to you uomura
12:54you know i mean uomura is very much saying like i have all my fire is between the bells and
13:00then
13:00you know i mean that's my job as a professional wrestler to fight to wrestle to win and then after
13:06that you know we'll shake each other's hands and we'll move on to the next one i mean he is
13:11the
13:11epitome of a true sportsman a true pro's pro is you uomura calum newman anything but you couldn't
13:18think of anything more different yeah pure antithesis to all uomura stands for here tonight
13:23is calum newman and you are starting to see the uh wounds of war that tape on the upper spine
13:29and
13:29the lower neck of calum newman as we're now going to sweep the legs here try and keep the pace
13:35tight
13:35and in that knee strike we talked about it yesterday the knee strike game in united empire has leveled up
13:41recently and from jake lee to calum newman here in the final of new japan cup that one just turned
13:47things around when you have a good stable around you you know i mean that is uh you know really
13:52coming to your to your aid but i mean i think at the same time you uomura has benefited from
13:58a much
13:58greater strength in hontai as of late you know i mean he's spent time with uh bolton oleg with
14:04alan wolf as well training at carpe diem working on his jiu-jitsu skills yeah i think that is
14:11a benefit it's the team around you look out you're only going to get two but it's not just
14:17zane jay at ringside seconding you it's it's the the team that's in the back it's the locker room
14:23atmosphere and uh that says a lot and that's why newman united empire two wins here tonight
14:29you know i mean he's feeling pretty good going into this one
14:32oh calum newman's going to definitely tell you that he's feeling 100 as if he hasn't just
14:37wrestling through one of the most brilliant tournaments in professional wrestling and i think
14:41that really speaks to calum newman and his mindset coming into here tonight says he's looking not at
14:46you get uomura but past you get one more he's already feeling himself in the rear goku yeah i mean
14:51he
14:51said oh man my neck hurts after yesterday everything hurts but i'm not bothered about today at all
14:58that's a you know i mean that is a foolish suggestion so look past you your own earth yeah a
15:04lot of
15:04people have failed in this tournament because they looked past you and what more shingo takagi back
15:09at the quarterfinal and of course bolton oleg in the semi here's newman now oh this is dangerous oh
15:17yeah already that taped up right arm gonna be a prime target for you get more and calum newman here
15:26and newman yeah this is i mean if i'm newman this is exactly what i'm trying to do keep things
15:30on the
15:30outside of the ring we know that newman can get very dangerous and oh well yeah a little bit of
15:36attitude yeah wow that's real class there from newman we've told the story before on the english
15:46broadcast and calum newman has said it in media appearances prior following that iwgp heavyweight title
15:53challenge at wrestling don taku one year ago to hiroki goto the first man that he saw opposite
16:00through the curtain when he made his way back after that loss was hiroshi tanahashi
16:04and it was hiroshi tanahashi that shook calum newman's hand and said we need you here in new
16:09japan pro wrestling but this was not the calum newman that tanahashi had addressed after that
16:13matchup a very different man today well i mean history in new japan pro wrestling certainly favors the
16:19man who who take advantage from you know and sees opportunities that created out of chaos and that
16:25was exactly the opportunity that was created and the chaos that was created getting into don taker last
16:33year it also gives you i mean a hell of an inflated ego gives you a massive head
16:42it's no wonder that calum newman feels the need to fight this battle on his own
16:47abandoned by will osprey abandoned by jeff cobb that's the narrative that calum newman has pushed
16:52called throughout this series that has made newman on the sick sob that he's become
16:59that count of 15 yuyu lamora back in the ring and newman immediately back on the attack
17:09might be early gonna try it already
17:14lamora one of that cross body before gonna get it this time
17:17and lands right back down on calum newman let's not forget what bolts bolted oleg away yesterday
17:23and i think it shocked a lot of people to see it it was that cross body from the top
17:27rope for uamora
17:28that put down the strong open weight champion in the semi-fight yeah it's sort of been a very effective
17:33you know flying cross that uamora has really perfected this to beat great okam with it in the first as
17:40well
17:43and the pain just surging through that right arm that right elbow of uamora that's the predominant
17:49side of uamora you'll notice that's the side that he has to hook in last every time he goes for
17:54that
17:55deadbolt suplex there chris so it's going to be very interesting to see if uamora can counter it
17:59so soon human has been favoring the left arm and elbow
18:07and now a little bit of a heat storm rushing through it chili nagaoka
18:17the nagaoka forecast may be turned on its head here tonight if uamora can do
18:23what the world is going for here tonight a new japan cup final victory
18:30as uamora wants that back suplex here chris calum newman not going to be able to deny it
18:36larger athlete take it down floats to the cover here uamora count of two watch watch watch he had
18:41the arm hooked on that the uh the north south on the cover there or the east west rather and
18:46uh new and
18:48very very quickly to the ropes good ring positioning from calum newman and uh you know one of the things
18:54that we really talk about when it comes to calum newman is his height that comes to an advantage
19:00you know i mean you talk about uh you know i mean he's not that far off in oscar in
19:05terms of
19:06height you're very clear that the six feet mark and uh that can really help you in a situation like
19:21that's the perfect crying the call for an end here for calum newman
19:29and you get one more will not oblige it has to be peddled to the metal for you and more
19:38more cannot afford to be too giving cannot afford to let up when it comes to time pressure has to
19:44stay on with a young gun like calum newman looking to take his place as the new japan cup winner
19:49it
19:49makes me thinking and newman has taken a lot of punishment oh nice tiger suplex two for newman
20:03newman has taken a lot of punishment in moments held through the chairs you know massive impacts over
20:09the course of this uh tournament walker you know but i'm just wondering as rumor is applying that hold
20:15and newman saying please no and it it still rings in my ears the screams of newman when he injured
20:21his
20:21knee in world tag league that time ago and it there has to be a hardening there has to be
20:28a very very
20:29high threshold for pain to be successful i wonder if urimura if he can get on a painful submission hold
20:36will newman be able to hang on in that position that's a wonderful question something we may have to
20:41answer sooner rather than later as newman those separating shots right there are going to keep
20:46a little more pressed against the ropes for right now yeah full steam ahead newman wow got the double
20:52boot up right there evaded and it's a snap down suplex newman to his face roundhouse shot from newman
21:02oh what a drop kick incredible drop kick from yoyo and more and he's just rocked the brakes here tonight
21:29there's no 50 50 split here tonight chris it is a well definitely a battle line that's been drawn
21:35yoyo umura is nagaoka's pick to win new japan cup this year i think that's exactly what kallen newman
21:42prefers though i think that's exactly what both men prefer yoyo umura likes to feed off of that emotion
21:49newman is powered by spike
22:04the progression that we've seen for newman over the past three years has been incredible
22:08from being a young kid 21 years of age
22:15a man that was brought into the fold by will osprey a man that a lot of fans here in
22:20new japan
22:20looked at and said well just another guy from rev pro coming in to see how he can cut his
22:25teeth
22:25calum newman has doubled up in a way that has been beyond anyone's expectations
22:38oh newman yeah this is yeah he's really trying to pop that in
22:41and uh what might have been slightly knocked out of socket and left arm
23:0115 minutes deep in this matchup and we are well past the point that these two men went back in
23:06g1
23:06climax 35 last year
23:09you have a feeling there's still be maybe more to go in this one
23:14wait wait wait wait wait wait wait wait wait
23:16what what
23:18oh newman needs a breather here
23:20oh yeah
23:26oh newman yeah managed to block got the roundhouse shot
23:33the firebolt inbound as well what it what it it is firebolt drives away
23:40cover here for newman hooked in deep still not enough
23:52the calum newman of three years ago when this man first made his new japan pro wrestling debut
23:58would not have been able to go counter for counter the way we've seen newman against uamora today
24:02and i think that that's been something really special to be able to highlight
24:05win loss or draw here and we're not going to a draw my friend
24:14yeah what's newman thinking here chris well certainly something has just popped in the head
24:20of the prince oh you might be thinking to drive that stomp and uamora sensing the danger
24:26yeah uamora has felt danger from the top
24:30delivers here tonight again and yeah you're right chris
24:32wrenching on that injured orange here's uamora for the cover again again he's got the hook he's
24:37got the hook again he wanted the kick out he wanted newman to raise that left shoulder and go
24:45straight into that double wrist
24:49and newman quicker than quick to the bottom rope here
24:54and wrong legs the savior for in there
25:03whoa
25:09oh
25:09uh dragon suplex chris will do a lot of damage for that already injured neck come into tonight
25:21Oh, and Umura
25:23Taking a shot right to the tape once again
25:27Oh, cold clocked
25:29Did you hear it?
25:34Calum Newman wants to force Yu Yu Umura
25:36To kiss the crown
25:38And to raise a trophy over Newman's head
26:00And again, Raquel getting behind Newman
26:04But Yu Yu Umura
26:05But Newman is revealing
26:07Oh
26:08Oh
26:36Ah, man, it's a capturing
26:38Butterfly it up
26:39Newman back out on his feet now
26:41Newman
26:41Poison Rana
26:45Oh, and Excalibur, Excalibur has got it, Walker
26:47Newman might have it here
26:49Excalibur for the win
26:52No
26:58That Essex sword is not going
27:00To behead Yu Yu Umura just yet
27:03No, wait a minute
27:05Wait, wait, wait, wait
27:07Yeah, Calum Newman has Red Shoe Zuno tied in here
27:09And now that's
27:10And Zane J who's going to have a nice little chat with Red Shoe
27:13That steel chair was not in the center of the ring
27:16Until Zane J had laid it there
27:17Oh, man, yeah, you're right
27:19You're right, I didn't even notice it
27:21And this is how he beat Jackson
27:23Oh, this time
27:25Double stomp on the steel here
27:26And now Uumura
27:27And now Uumura
27:28Drop kick to J
27:34Oh, and the Franken
27:35The Franken
27:36Watch the arm
27:37Watch the arm
27:37He's got it
27:38He's got it
27:38A cross arm
27:39But Newman not going to be able to break the hold here
27:41Newman has to clear
27:45And now Uumura's last ever match on excursion
27:48Over in the US
27:50He beat Christopher Daniels with this
27:52Ray Frankensteiner into the arm
27:56It was broken just for the moment
27:58But Newman able to bring things back together with the hands
28:02And that grip
28:05Well, it has to be the strongest that Newman has ever had it in his career
28:08But you can see the body pulsing
28:11See Uumura transitioning
28:14Cooling the audible
28:15Instead of the straight arm
28:16He's going to go back into that handle up position if he can
28:19And again, Newman
28:20You talked about it earlier on
28:22This is a great call
28:23Those long legs of Newman
28:24Really going to aid
28:25And Newman's benefit here
28:31Oh, no, no
28:32Rolled back to the center
28:33Uumura
28:34Oh, he's got one half of the hook
28:36Is there enough on the other arm?
28:38Going to try and break it
28:39Going to try and break it
28:40It's Newman
28:40That dead bull
28:43Oh, keeping power
28:45Oh
28:52Just like Ruth Bolton
28:54Massive
28:55Massive
28:55Oh, wait, wait
28:57No, again Newman
28:58And a low blow
29:00Come on
29:01Come on
29:02Not like this
29:03Prince's curse
29:16The same sequence of maneuvers
29:18That has won him for round one
29:20All the way to the final
29:23Uumura
29:24Uumura kicks out of the prince's curse
29:26I mean, if it's anybody
29:28I think it's a very, very short list
29:30Walker
29:30That's kicked out of that move
29:35Well, now Newman has to deep down deep
29:37Now Newman has to think
29:39What else do I have?
29:41Oh, he saw plan A with Zane J
29:43Taken out by Uumura
29:45We saw a plan B
29:47And it still wasn't enough
29:48For Callum Newman
29:55Excalibur
29:56Excalibur
30:02Excalibur
30:03Newman has it in the clutches here
30:06Oh, one more
30:08Oh, and what a hellacious one
30:11This is Prince's curse
30:12Oh, my God
30:18What?
30:20I mean, if it's a short list
30:22That can kick out of it once
30:24Nobody has ever kicked out of it twice
30:29It is a brute
30:31Stubbing
30:33Will and refusal to lose
30:35On the part of the heat storm
30:40There is not a thought in the mind
30:42Of Uumura right now, Chris
30:43But there are 3,000 plus

33:4425 minutes
33:46He's got shortness.
34:00Both men's strongest weapons, not once but twice,
34:05couldn't finish the job, and in the end,
34:09Walker was something we'd never seen before out of Colum Newman.
34:12And take a look one more time there, and there's the count.
34:16A three as official as it can become.
34:21Calum Newman has now made history as the youngest winner of New Japan Cup
34:26this organization has ever seen.
34:28Twenty-three years of age stands Calum Newman.
34:31And at 23 years old, can you believe it, Chris?
34:34Calum Newman sits at the top of the mountain.
34:37At 23 years old, the Prince has become a king.
34:40And crowned the New Japan Cup winner for 2026.
34:48And that man...
34:50Calum Newman is the winner of New Japan Cup winner for 25.50.
34:56Calum Newman is the winner of New Japan Cup winner.
35:13And now, here comes the entire empire down to ringside.
35:18This is not just a win for Calum Newman.
35:21This is a much-needed victory over the past few years for United Empire.
35:25The first member of United Empire to win the tournament since who?
35:29Yeah, since Will Oskrake.
35:31Exactly.
35:37Will Oskrake did it at age 27.
35:41Calum Newman is the winner of New Japan Cup winner.
35:53And now, the first-ever winner of the New Japan Cup.
35:57And Hiroshi Tanahashi will pass that trophy directly to its rightful holder in 2026.
36:04Oh, you imagine the emotion.
36:17You imagine?
36:18Can you imagine?
36:19What was going through the mind of Yu Yuomura all morning was this scene that Newman is experiencing now.
36:28Was to have the literal physical torch being passed to him by the man, Hiroshi Tanahashi, whose sun is shining
36:38in.
36:38Oh, you're welcome!
36:54Good luck!
36:56Thank you!
36:58Come on!
37:26What the fuck did I tell you, huh?
37:29Huh? No one in this company wanted to win this tournament more than Callum Neumann.
37:47I've been saying it for a long, long, long, long, long time now.
37:52This unit, my unit that I carried for so long, this is my empire and it's my fucking company now.
38:06Come over and say it, bitch boy. Fence is there, I'll fuck you up right now.
38:11Yeah, come do it, bitch. I dare ya. That's what I thought. Pussy. Fuck off.
38:18Not only does this make me one of the best in the world right now, not only am I the
38:24gaijin ace of this company, I'm New Japan's ace now.
38:43You're not New Japan's best right now. Not yet at least, because that man is.
38:50It's the IWGP heavyweight champion Yoda Tsuji makes his way to ringside.
38:56The man that Callum Neumann will face off against the main event, Ryugoku Sumo Hall on April 4th.
39:03Come over here in theOfus.
39:09Genre!
39:10들어, Themis!
39:16Oh, my God!
39:18Fahrampa!
39:45You've got me next, are you ready?
39:51Oh, well.
40:10Newman's making it very clear that right now it's not Yodosuji time, it's Callum Newman time.
40:17It's United Empire time.
40:31I haven't finished talking yet.
41:02Yodosuji, I'll see you at Riyogoku.
41:03I haven't finished talking yet.
41:34I don't think there's any bigger statement of intent.
41:39Not just from Callum Newman and Walker, not just from United Empire, but all of New Japan professional wrestling.
41:45Than the last two weeks we have seen.
41:50There's been, I mean, for so long, for so many years around here in New Japan.
41:55The new era, the new generation.
41:58I don't think there's any clearer statement of the new being now than what we've seen over the course of
42:04this New Japan Cup.
42:05Yeah, you're right about that.
42:06Not just with Callum Newman, but with the other members of the semi-final and hell, even a majority of
42:11the quarter-final as well.
42:12There was only one man who was going to stand atop the rest, and it was going to be the
42:16youngest in that pack.
42:1823 year old Callum Newman has now made history as the youngest New Japan Cup winner this organization has ever
42:24seen.
42:25And history does not stop here with the New Japan Cup as far as Callum Newman is concerned.
42:29No, but that is a mighty, mighty mountain to climb.
42:33It is an entirely different argument altogether when it comes to Callum Newman facing Yota Tsuji for the IWGP Heavyweight
42:41Championship April 4th.
42:44And, well, Newman looking at the last IWGP Heavyweight Champion in Konosuke Tukeshto as well.
42:52And there is so much that we have seen unfold over just tonight when it comes, not just the IWGP
43:02Heavyweight Championship and the Tag Titles as well, the World Television title as well, and the Heavyweight Championship as well.
43:08A good deal of that is going to be embroiled April 4th in New Goku.
43:13Tickets available in English wherever you are, but the best seat in the house, Walker, is going to be right
43:18here on NJPW World.
43:19Yeah, no doubt about it. It's going to be an incredible one.
43:22Ryugoku Sumo Hall, Sakata Genesis, the main event.
43:25Callum Newman versus Yota Tsuji.
43:27The IWGP Heavyweight Championship will be on the line.
