Three days ago Konosuke Takeshita made Tetsuya Endo submit to the Plus Ultra. Today, Endo got some revenge by pinning Takeshita with the Burning Star Press. The action was part of BURNING beating The 37KAMIINA in a Captain’s Fall Tag Match. BURNING got a 3 on 1 advantage after eliminated Yuki Ueno & Shunma Katsumata. Takeshita got rid of Yusuke Okada but even he cannot beat the combined power of Endo & Jun Akiyama by himself. Endo said today’s win is not just revenge for what happened a few days ago. It is for every time Endo lost to Takeshita. He said today’s sight of him standing tall over a fallen Takeshita is what fans will see again at Sumo Hall.
Chris Brookes beating HARASHIMA is a big notch he can add to his belt even though the match was tarred with interference. Masahiro Takanashi picked his moments to get involved, forcing Naomi Yoshimura to come in and deal with him. Takanashi found one more chance to grab HARASHIMA’s leg before he attempted the Somato. That distraction was the deciding factor as Brookes then gave HARASHIMA the Praying Mantis Bomb for the victory. Brookes explained afterwards their plan today was not done out of hatred. It is because CDK wants the KO-D Tag Team Titles. Brookes & Takanashi believe they are the better tag team because they are together all the time outside the ring like brothers.
Some of the Hardcore wrestling that will be seen during the DDT Universal Title match was on display in the middle portion of the show. Daisuke Sasaki and MAO agreed to make today’s tag match No DQ which led to plenty of chairs and plastic boxes flying around. Yukio Naya took the brunt of everything because of this decision. MAO accidentally hit him with a chair, MJ Paul gave him a Lariat and Minoru Fujita kicked him below the belt. DAMNATION T.A then continued attacking MAO after the match, leaving him in a heap among the wreckage. Sasaki mocked MAO backstage for requesting the No DQ stipulation because Sasaki is No DQ for life! He now only cares about beating Jun Kasai for the first time in five years.
Akito attempted to fight fire with fire against Pheromones. He stripped down to his own O-back to fight on the same level of nudity as Yuki Iino. It didn’t work because Pheromones still went into overdrive on him and Yuki Ishida until they were disqualified. Hisaya Imabayashi ran in and gave Danshoku Dieno again but this time Yumehito Imanari attacked him. Pheromones then stripped Akito completely naked and gave him the Danshoku Driver! Dieno accuses DDT of having double standards. They blame Pheromones for going too far but then take advantage of their “exciting” content to get more views. Imanari said they will continue to wrestle the way they want for as long as they think it looks good for Youtube. As vice president, Akito admits what happened was a close call and he could consider legal action or a suspension. But he also thinks fighting naked in the ring in front of an audience is proof he can protect LiLiCo and Ryohei Odai at Sumo Hall.
Another fierce battle between Saki Akai and Maya Yukihi opened the show but neither were directly involved in the match result. Akai rubbed the win in her rival’s face because she was talking big at Korakuen Hall a few days ago but today she is quiet. She also likes the frustrated look on Yukihi’s face. They had a standoff that involved them grabbing each other by their heads. Backstage Yukihi called Akai a nasty woman and she wants their singles match to happen right now!
