AJPW Dream Power Series 2025 - Final: WrestleFile Historical Verdict

The strongest booking decision is the main event. Miyahara entered with a recent direct pin over Saito and a credible claim that he could end the champion's run. Saito winning cleanly with Psycho Break converts that setup into an important defense rather than allowing the March 9 result to hang over the title reign. All Japan's official page confirms it as Saito's third defense, and the pre-match press conference gives the result a clear before-and-after context.

The All Asia Tag Team match is nearly as useful. HAYATO and Anzai were already established champions, but a fifth defense against Hokuto Omori and Takashi Yoshida strengthens the reign without making the challengers incidental. The finish also serves the next tour: Anzai pins Omori, while Yoshida is immediately announced for the Champion Carnival in place of Cyrus. One match therefore protects the title lineage and helps reposition a challenger for a singles tournament.

Davey Boy Smith Jr.'s win over Yuma Aoyagi is the other result that carries forward. Smith wins in 20:14 with the Bulldog Bomb, giving a tournament entrant a substantial singles victory rather than a short preview. Wrestling-Infos explicitly labels it a Road to Champion Carnival special singles match. It is positioned directly before the two title bouts, which makes the result feel like part of the show's competitive spine rather than filler between undercard segments.

The lower card is uneven by design. Suwama beats Seigo Tachibana in only fifteen seconds, but the post-match development gives the segment purpose: Wrestling-Infos reports that Suwama left the Age of BAKA group and Tachibana took his place. The third match then lets Fuminori Abe and Yuko Miyamoto defeat the Saito-themed team of Naruki Doi and Senor Saito. The eight-man tag delivers another Carnival-facing result, with Madoka Kikuta pinning Kuma Arashi. None of those bouts needs championship length because their job is to move characters and tournament participants into the next phase.

An announced 2,098 at Ota City General Gymnasium gives the event a materially larger setting than the Shin-Kiba and Korakuen dates that surround it in the March chronology. All Japan's official page, Wrestling-Infos and Social Suplex agree on the attendance. The building and crowd size fit a card headlined by the Triple Crown championship, especially with Miyahara challenging a champion who had been establishing himself as one of the promotion's central heavyweights.

The match-time distribution is also strong. The opening six-man runs 13:17, the comedy-tinged Suwama-Tachibana segment is deliberately over in fifteen seconds, the next two tags stay between ten and fourteen minutes, and then the final three matches expand to 20:14, 22:00 and 27:24. That creates a natural escalation in both stakes and duration. The audience is not asked to sit through several twenty-minute matches before the championships arrive.

Presentation changed from the originally announced card because of late absences and adjustments. All Japan's earlier card announcement had included a World Junior Heavyweight Championship match involving MUSASHI, while the final results do not contain that bout. The official results page instead links a March 28 notice about MUSASHI's absence and card changes. Cyrus was also unavailable, which affected the Champion Carnival-related portion of the show. Even with those disruptions, the final seven-match lineup retained two title matches and a meaningful singles preview.

The official results page lists both All Japan Pro Wrestling TV and Samurai TV in the archive field. WrestleFile keeps current availability conservative because a stable event-specific replay URL and present subscription or regional terms were not independently verified during this review. Historically, the archive listing still helps establish that this was presented as a major streamed and televised tour final rather than an undocumented house show.

The most important historical marker is Jun Saito's third successful Triple Crown defense. The opponent raises the value of the result. Miyahara was not a placeholder challenger; he had recently pinned Saito in tag competition and entered the press conference openly targeting another Triple Crown reign. Saito's 27:24 win therefore reinforces the champion at a point when the company was about to pivot into Champion Carnival season.

The All Asia Tag Team title defense adds a second lineage marker. HAYATO and Anzai's fifth successful defense is documented on the official results page, and the pairing was an important part of the younger-generation presentation around this period. Their victory over Omori and Yoshida gives the event a second championship result that can be traced independently of the Triple Crown story.

The show also records a key Champion Carnival substitution. Cyrus' health-related absence removed him from both the March 29 card and the tournament, and Yoshida was announced as the replacement after the All Asia Tag match. That makes the event part of the tournament's administrative history, not merely a preview. Smith's win over Aoyagi and the eight-man tag further place several Carnival participants in competitive situations immediately before the tournament began.

Suwama's fifteen-second win over Tachibana is historically useful because the post-match angle changes a stable. Wrestling-Infos reports that Suwama announced his departure from Age of BAKA and that Tachibana would take his place. The match itself is barely long enough to evaluate as wrestling, but the segment becomes more important when read as a roster and faction transition.

Finally, the event completes a short March arc that began at Korakuen Hall on March 9, moved through Okinawa on March 15, and finished at Ota City General Gymnasium. The increased attendance, the two championship defenses and the Miyahara-Saito payoff give the tour a genuine endpoint. In the promotion's 2025 chronology, this is the bridge between Dream Power Series and Champion Carnival rather than an isolated March card.
