All of the matches on today’s show were previously put together by a fan lottery. Every bout was also given a seven minute time limit. The main event was a rematch of an International Princess Title defence from October 2022 with Miu Watanabe defeating Moka Miyamoto. Watanabe said when she found out about the match she thought 7 minutes would not be enough between them so she was happy to beat Miyamoto in under that time. Miyamoto hoped she could win because she has grown so much since their previous singles match. She found out the hard way that Watanabe has grown too. She would like another rematch some day.

Maki Itoh’s latest return from America has her ready and waiting for the match against Rina Yamashita on 4th January. First she had to get past Hikari Noa but the match reached the time limit right after Noa did the Blizzard Suplex. Backstage Itoh was asked if her match against Yamashita will be held under normal rules? She said if her opponent uses a weapon then she will too. She always keeps a pizza cutter in her suitcase for that very reason.

The match between Yuki Aino and Pom Harajuku was all about Raku. Surprise, surprise. Harajuku wore a paper mask of Raku’s face when the match begun and Aino wanted to take it for herself. Harajuku then grabbed one of Raku’s photos at the merch table to distract Aino. It worked for a bit but Aino regained control and pinned Harajuku with the Venus DDT. The actual Raku gave the paper mask of her face to Aino as her prize for winning.

Hyper Misao wanted to learn more about Kaya Toribami while they fought each other so they agreed to have a Love Is The Mystery Rules match. After every 2 count pin the wrestler would be asked a quiz question about their opponent. Get it right and they win the match. Get it wrong and then music will begin playing for a short period of time. During that time the opponent only needs to pin you for a 1 count to get a quiz question and their chance to win. Misao scored every fall but answered wrong for questions about what item Toribami never lost and which side of Japan was she born in? Misao finally got a question right when she correctly guessed the name of the elementary school Toribami went to.

At the start of the show it was announced that Free WiFi will defend the Princess Tag Team Titles against Daisy Monkey on 4th January. Suzume said she always wanted to win the championship that has belonged to the strongest tag team in Tokyo Joshi Pro. She thought that one day it will belong to her and Arisu Endo. It’s no longer going to be some day, it is going to be now! Noa said she and Nao Kakuta have defended the titles against three teams all different from each other. But Daisy Monkey are the first team they will face that have been around for a while.

Only two D-Oh Grand Prix matches today but they both help set the table for the final group matches taking place on Christmas Eve. MAO now finds himself at the top of the B Block but space is tight up there. He beat KANON and used TAKA Michinoku’s Just Face Lock submission for the win to rub it in. The result is payback for KANON beating him with the Cobra Twist during last year’s Grand Prix. With that debt repaid, MAO now thinks KANON is somebody who might be standing on the same level as him in the near future. KANON has now completed all of his group matches and he’s upset because all he got out of it is a pair of Hirata GO! glasses.

The only A Block match had Daisuke Sasaki playing mind games with Yuki Iino. Sasaki claimed Iino still has a trace of “Sexy” inside him and he was going to bring it out of him! Sasaki did poses to remind Iino of Pheromones and make him lose his temper. While this sent Iino on a rampage chasing after Sasaki, it also led to him making mistakes. The big one was Iino missing a Spear and hitting the exposed corner post after Sasaki had removed the turnbuckle pad. The damage did not immediately cost Iino the match but it didn’t take Sasaki long to pin him with a Crucifix afterwards. Sasaki then added insult to injury by saying Iino was never sexy at all! While Iino no longer has a chance to reach the final, he still promises fans will see him show everything with full power at DDT’s last Korakuen Hall show of the year.

The show today did not have a big focus on the D-Oh because it was also Yuki Ishida’s triumphant return to his hometown Yatsushiro, Kumamoto. The 37KAMIINA wanted to spoil Harimao’s party, particularly when Ishida responded to Toy Kojima’s “NeppoWER” pose with an enthusiastic “Dosukoi” shout. It was Kazusada Higuchi who scored the win by pinning Kojima but Ishida did his part by keeping Yuki Ueno away from the finish. After the match Ishida told the fans he’s really happy to see so many people from Yatsushiro come to watch DDT wrestling. It’s always been his goal to perform here for DDT and next time he wants DDT to book him in a title match here!

Today was Jun Akiyama’s last time teaming with other wrestler in BURNING before he leaves the unit at the end of the year. Tetsuya Endo said the unit will now consist of just himself, Yusuke Okada and the currently injured Yuya Koroku. He thanked Akiyama for everything he taught them over the last two years. Endo also thinks the best way to repay Akiyama is for BURNING to grow bigger without him, even if that means they go and win the KO-D 6-Man Tag Team Titles from Akiyama’s other team D.O.A! Akiyama joked that when he quits BURNING he will go back to being a normal old man. He also pointed out BURNING has to wait for Koroku to come back before they can get in line for a title shot. That is unless they find a new member of course. However it happens, D.O.A have to go through their current schedule of title defences in order to make a title match against BURNING happen in the future.

Growing with confidence thanks to some recent success, Takeshi Masada claims he is no longer scared of Danshoku Dieno and and his backside. Makoto Oishi threatened to feed Dieno wasabi paste but Hisaya Imabayashi stopped him, just like he did yesterday. Instead Imabayashi invited Yuki Ishida’s father into the ring to hand them a piece of Karashi Renkon, which is a local dish in Kumamoto. During the match Oishi stuck the food in Dieno’s backside and tried forcing Masada to eat it. Masada instead turned it around and shoved it into Oishi’s mouth. Masada then pinned him with the Triangle Kick. He thought about thanking Ishida’s father for helping him win but decided it was because of the Karashi Renkon instead. Schadenfreude International then vowed o win the KO-D 6-Man Tag Titles from D.O.A on Christmas Eve.
