ALL REBELLION AT A CROSSROADS: Kiyomiya vs Alejandro 7/5

Over the past few months in Pro Wrestling NOAH, ALL REBELLION, one of NOAH’s legendary modern factions, has been going through a tough time. They have ended up on the losing side throughout 2026 more than they expected.

At Legacy Rise 2026 on June 25, 2026, All Rebellion’s Kaito Kiyomiya and Alejandro, along with Alejandro’s GHC Junior Heavyweight Tag Team Title partner Dragon Bane, lost to Team 2000 X’s Kai Fujimura, Masa Kitamiya & the incredibly arrogant and cocky OZAWA.

With the group at a crossroads in many senses, it was announced on July 5 at Korakuen Hall in Tokyo that Alejandro and the three-time former GHC Heavyweight Champion would battle in a “Crossroads” match.

This was a highly enthusiastic battle from the NOAH faithful, especially since at one time, Kiyomiya and Alejandro were former Dragon Gate Open the Twin Gate Champions. They know each other so well in between the ropes and outside the squared circle.

One thing I noticed during the match was that it was noted that All Rebellion has never offered a spot in the faction to Bane, who has become close with Alejandro, especially as Junior Tag Champions.

The match started off hot-and-heavy with Alejandro, quickly displaying his electric speed and high flying early on to Kaito, including an awesome somersault plancha to the floor.

However, Kiyomiya, ever the experienced veteran, gained control quickly and grounded the plucky Alejandro. Every time the masked junior tried to get back into the match, Kiyomiya would quickly take him down. At one point, “the Prince of Madness” locked on quite possibly the deepest abdominal stretch I have ever seen used in a pro wrestling match.

Yet, the GHC Junior Heavyweight Tag Team Champ survived.

After a hard open hand strike to the face of the All Rebellion leader by Alejandro, Kiyomiya went into “Mad Prince” mode and snapped into a very hard hitting style.

Alejandro tried to fight back, but Kiyomiya’s hard hitting style was too much. After multiple Shining Lancers, Alejandro’s will faded away. “The Prince of Madness” picked up the victory.

Following the battle, Kiyomiya gave Alejandro his props and thanked him for his service in All Rebellion, yet no official announcement on the future of the faction came out. As of this writing, the group is still active, but for how long is anyone’s guess.

Needless to say, watch this great match on Wrestle Universe. This contest stole the show.
