There are two weeks to go until “CYBERFIGHT FESTIVAL 2022” and DDT’s big team to fight against NOAH still aren’t finding their groove together. Kazusada Higuchi fought against his upcoming tag partners Tetsuya Endo & Jun Akiyama in the main event. Afterwards Endo told him they need to join forces if they all want to beat Naomichi Marufuji. He knows that Higuchi only listens to wrestlers above him on the pecking order so it will be up to Akiyama to get through and convince him. Higuchi remains bullish and believes he can beat the NOAH team if the others leave him alone. He’ll prove it by beating Yoshiki Inamura at the NOAH Show this weekend.

Having Atsushi Onita as the special guest on the show meant his match was going to turn into a street fight one way or another. Shunma Katsumata was his target in particular. He and Shinya Aoki blinded him with double Poison Mist and then Onita put him through a table with a Piledriver. HARASHIMA struggled to get past Yuki Ueno but took control of the finishing stretch when Toi Kojima was the legal man. HARASHIMA pinned Kojima with the Somato and celebrated with his teammates. Backstage Katsumata swore revenge on Onita by beating him and taking his leather jacket to become “Evil Ways” of the Reiwa generation!

Saki Akai and Maya Yukihi had one more preview tag bout against each other before their anticipated rematch takes place tomorrow. Akai wants to show everyone that beating Yukihi is not an easy task but she also wants to enjoy the match as it happens. Yukihi on the other hand is putting more pressure on herself to win tomorrow so she will have something to show for the last five months of wrestling in DDT.

MAO already wrestled earlier today at a ChocoPro show but travel issues made him miss his match in DDT. Toru Owashi refused to wrestle a Handicap Match so he needed to have a replacement partner. Pheromones convinced the GM Hisaya Imabayashi to fill in for MAO at the last minute. However MAO finally showed up midway through the match and tried to take his spot back. He wiped out Danshoku Dieno & Yuki Iino with a Plancha and pretty much had the match won by himself. But Imabayashi cut MAO off and threatened to punish him with a pay cut for interfering. Iino recovered and gave Imabayashi the Ketsugoye for the win.

Chris Brookes was pulled from the show because of a right ankle injury he suffered in training. He will also miss tomorrow’s show. Akito took his place in Match #4.
