DDT welcomed two guests from NOAH over to their show today. Kaito Kiyomiya & Yoshiki Inamura sat at ringside to watch Yuki Ueno in the main event. After the match Ueno called them to approach the ring and meet him face to face. They did and things remained calm between the two sides. Kiyomiya said backstage that he wanted to see something from his opponents before “CYBERFIGHT FESTIVAL 2021” takes place in June. He could sense Ueno’s feelings just from looking at him so he has a lot of info to analyze from that alone. Inamura is disappointed that Konosuke Takeshita wasn’t there but that won’t stop him hitting the guy with all his power when the match happens.

Both Chris Brookes and Saki Akai are keeping an eye on each other. Brookes thought he was going to push Akai up another gear today but understands it wasn’t necessary. All he wants to know is if the one in a hundred chance of Akai beating him will show up at Korakuen Hall next month. Akai does wish she did more in the ring today and wonders if she should think more selfishly. She knows she won’t become a double champion if she can’t surpass Brookes’ strength.

Keigo Nakamura met with Hisaya Imabayashi to ask for a shot at the KO-D 8-Man Tag Team Titles. When he said his team is all of the young DDT rookies (Nakamura, Hideki Okatani, Toui Kojima & Yuya Koroku), Imabayashi refused because the four of them have no track record as a team. Nakamura then challenged Sanshiro Takagi directly and he was turned down for the same reason. Akito encouraged Takagi to change his mind but couldn’t get him to do so. Their tag match was then called off when Nakamura followed Danshoku Dieno’s advice to a hilt and both tried to get naked in the ring to show how passionate they are. Imabayashi accepted Nakamura’s argument that he was being passionate and ordered Takagi to accept the challenge.
