Masa Kitamiya and Jack Morris have advanced to the final of Pro Wrestling NOAH’s N-1 Victory 2025 tournament.
The two block winners secured their spots during the final night of group competition on Sunday at the Light Cube, Utsunomiya.
The final will take place on Tuesday, September 23, 2025, at Korakuen Hall in Tokyo.
The winner will earn a future opportunity to challenge for the GHC Heavyweight Championship, currently held by KENTA.
Four A-Block wrestlers, including Kitamiya, entered the night on 8 points with a chance to advance. Kitamiya defeated Kazuyuki Fujita to move to 10 points. His path was then cleared when GHC Heavyweight Champion KENTA lost to Tetsuya Endo, which prevented KENTA from also reaching 10 points and advancing via tie-breaker.
The conclusion to the B Block was even more complex. Jack Morris was boosted to 11 points due to a forfeit by the injured OZAWA. Galeno then defeated KENOH to draw level with Morris at 11 points. When Naomichi Marufuji, who was on 10 points, lost his final match to Ricky Knight Jr., it set up a tie-breaker between the two leaders.
As Morris and Galeno had previously wrestled to a draw during the tournament, an impromptu play-off match was added to the end of the show to decide the block winner.
Morris defeated Galeno with a Tiger Driver to win the B Block and advance to the final.
