Kento Miyahara regained the Triple Crown on Tuesday.

Miyahara earned his title shot by winning All Japan Pro Wrestling’s Oudou (“King’s Road”) tournament earlier this month, securing a Triple Crown shot against Jun Saito.

The match headlined Tuesday’s event in Tachikawa in front of 1,750 fans with Miyahara using the Shutdown German Suplex hold to win his seventh Triple Crown.

The match lasted nearly twenty-three minutes, with Saito’s nine-month reign concluding after winning the Triple Crown on New Year’s Eve.

The show included another title change as former WWE talents Xyon (Xyon Quinn in NXT) and Oddyssey (the former Odyssey Jones) won the AJPW World Tag Team titles from Hideki Suzuki & Kengo Mashima.

Suzuki & Mashimo won the titles on August 3.

The new champions were immediately challenged by Yuma Aoyagi & Yuma Anzai.
