Sanshiro Takagi is now the No. 1 Contender for the KO-D Openweight Title. Takagi remembers when Danshoku Dino defeated him to become the champion seven years ago. Now he wants the roles to reverse and go on to Budokan Hall as the KO-D Champion, where Minoru Suzuki will be waiting for him. Meanwhile, Takagi told Takao Soma that he wants them to defend the KO-D Tag Team Title at least 30 times before the 15th Anniversary show takes place, even if it means defending the belts every day. They are also open to a rematch with the former champions Yasu Urano & Yuji Hino.
Shigehiro Irie claimed that he weighed himself before the show and was now 105kg, making him eligable for the AJPW Jr. Heavyweight Title match DDT is scheduled to hold in Korakuen Hall on 1st April. Interim GM Kota Ibushi and current champion Kenny Omega weren’t so sure he was telling the truth, so they brought a weighing scale down to the ring and weighed him. Irie’s weight was actually 105.5kg. Kenny suggested that Irie would reach the target if he took all of his clothes off while Ibushi kept on saying “105.5kg” over and over. Irie shook Kenny’s hand and promised he would reach the weight limit to get his title match.
Crying Wolf scored a major victory over Homoiro Clover Z in an 8-Man Tag Team Elimination match. Yuji Hino proved to be the difference maker despite costing his own team an elimination near the end. Danshoku Dino was left dumbfounded by his team’s defeat. DJ Nira appeared and stirred some trouble by blaming Hiroshi Fukuda for not dancing hard enough to the Momoiro Clover Z music they play during matches for motivation. Fukuda took offence and said he is not the weak link of the group. To prove it, Fukuda will face the debuting Tetsuya Endo on April 1st.
The theme for Match #3 was “Students Pro Wrestling” where HARASHIMA and GENTARO used gimmicks from their college pro wrestling days. HARASHIMA wrestled as Ashura while GENTARO was Hachibe.
DDT announced that Genba Hirayanagi from Pro Wrestling NOAH will compete for them on the 1/4 Korakuen Hall show.
