Wrestling Observer Live: Fumi Saito talks Wrestle Kingdom 19

In the middle of two big Tokyo Dome shows, that means a special edition of Wrestling Observer Live.

Journalist and Pacific Rim podcast co-host Fumi Saito joins me from Tokyo to give his first person perspective of last night’s Wrestle Kingdom 19. We talk all the results and give our thoughts on the matches.

Stateside, it’s a new year with a new hour added to WWE SmackDown with the first three-hour show of 2025 featuring a WWE Women’s title change

Plus, the 2026 Royal Rumble is going international and I explain why the location shouldn’t surprise you.

All that and more awaits you below.
