The last preview match for the KO-D Openweight Title bout at the end of the month saw The 37KAMIINA come out on top against Harimao. The champion Kazusada Higuchi was taken out by Konosuke Takeshita’s Jumping Knee before Takeshita pinned Yuki Ishida with the Zahi. Takeshita told Higuchi that their title match on 25th September is going to be more interesting than what happened today. Backstage he also said he doesn’t have much time left before he goes back to America. He and the rest of his generation in DDT has to create a new era for pro wrestling in Japan this month and winning the KO-D Title will help accomplish that. Higuchi said all he can do now is fight. He is looking forward to doing that with Takeshita in Korakuen Hall.

The KO-D 6-Man Tag Team Titles match hasn’t happened yet but Daisuke Sasaki is already claiming today’s win counts as DAMNATION T.A’s third successful defence. He called Yuji Hino a vengeful spirit who remained in this world because of the original DAMNATION split. Sasaki promised he will send him to heaven in the title match!

Yuya Koroku was pulled off the show at the last minute due to being a close contact case with covid. Tomomitsu Matsunaga took his place in Match #2.

The 3 Way Tag Match was called off after Yuki Iino had a blatant wardrobe malfunction and purposely tried to wrestle as nude as possible.

TV personality Koriki Choshu appeared during the show and gave a speech. He also performed the Para Para dance with Akito and Makoto Oishi in the ring.

“The Iai Puncher” Hikaru Machida returns to DDT on 23rd October.
