8. D-Oh Grand Prix 2023 – Final: Tetsuya Endo Vs Yukio Naya
The D-Oh Grand Prix final is going to be between Tetsuya Endo and Yukio Naya with both men fighting to win the tournament for the first time. The two were in the same room together for a press conference on Christmas Day so they could talk about the upcoming match. Endo said his block match against Kazusada Higuchi was his most memorable of the tournament. Not only was Higuchi as tough an opponent as ever but Endo could sense fun and positive emotions in their air as they fought. On the negative side, Endo would like to get revenge on HARASHIMA and Daisuke Sasaki for the block matches he lost to them. Naya said Rei Saito was the opponent who left the strongest impression on him because they had a battle to see who was stronger. He finished last year’s Grand Prix as the runner up so he has no choice but to win the final this year. Endo told reporters he has no intention of changing his wrestling style, it just updates little by little. He beat Higuchi with the Burning Star Press so he is confident the same move will beat Naya.
The Saito Brothers told DDT to find them a team to fight on the show. Kazusada Higuchi & Rukiya have stepped up to take their challenge.
DDT “SWEET DREAMS! 2024 TOUR IN SHINJUKU”, 05/01/2024
Shinjuku FACE

6. KO-D 10-Man Tag Team Titles: Yuki Ueno, MAO, Shunma Katsumata, Toy Kojima & Yoshihiko (c) Vs Masahiro Takanashi, Antonio Honda, Takayuki Ueki, Takeshi Masada & Mecha Mummy
The Baka Gaijin + Friends team are substituting in Takayuki Ueki for the ill Chris Brookes in the KO-D 10-Man Tag Team Titles match.
On Christmas Eve Toru Owashi announced that DISASTER BOX will be disbanding. The unit stayed alive for as long as it did so HARASHIMA and Owashi could protect Kazuki Hirata. This year has shown that Hirata no longer needs those two to look over him so the time has come for them to go in new directions. They can still team together from this point onwards but it will no longer be as DISASTER BOX. A 3 Way Match between the three members will send them off.
DDT “SWEET DREAMS! 2024 TOUR IN OSAKA DAY 1”, 06/01/2024
Osaka 176BOX
1. Kazusada Higuchi Vs Rukiya

7. KO-D 6-Man Tag Team Titles – DEAD OR ALIVE Contra DEAD OR ALIVE: Jun Akiyama, Danshoku Dieno & Makoto Oishi (c) Vs Bodyguard, Naruki Doi & Tsutenkakka
DISASTER BOX going away means the wrestlers in that group can now become more common opponents. Owashi and Hirata being on opposite sides of a tag match is the first example here.
DDT “SWEET DREAMS! 2024 TOUR IN OSAKA DAY 2”, 07/01/2024
Osaka 176BOX
1. 3 Way Match: Makoto Oishi Vs Takeshi Masada Vs Yuni
2. Jun Akiyama & Toru Owashi Vs Akito & Yuki Iino

6. Special Single Match: Kazuki Hirata Vs Danshoku Dieno
7. Special 6-Man Tag Match: Yuki Ueno, MAO & Shunma Katsumata Vs Yukio Naya, Kazusada Higuchi & Yukio Sakaguchi
In a preview of the All Asia Tag Team Titles match happening later in the month, Hideki Okatani takes on Toy Kojima in a singles match.
I think DDT are being a little sly over who Endo and Naya are being booked against in January. They’re trinyg not to tip their hand in revealing who is going to win the D-Oh. Both of them are having matches against Yuki Ueno and while one fights Ueno, the other is being occupied elsewhere on the show.
DDT “SWEET DREAMS! 2024”, 28/01/2024
Tokyo Korakuen Hall
1. MAO Birthday Commemorative Match: MAO Vs X
2. Special Single Match: KONOSUKE TAKESHITA Vs Naruki Doi
Guess who turns 27 years old on the same day as this show? It’s MAO! He’s getting a special match put together to celebrate his big day.
DDT “INTO THE FIGHT 2024”, 25/02/2024
Tokyo Korakuen Hall
1. Kaisei Takechi Debut Match: Kaisei Takechi Vs X
A new celebrity is going to enter the pro wrestling world! Kaisei Takechi is a performer from a popular song and dance group called THE RAMPAGE from EXILE TRIBE. He is an actor as well, having a supporting role in the ABEMA drama Fukumen D from 2022. That show was about a high school student becoming a pro wrestler and the wrestling related portions of that show involved help from, you guessed it, DDT (or BBT as it was known there)! Takechi has a little bit of experience with wrestling after having a match with Tetsuya Endo and Makoto Oishi that was held on a variety TV show. This led to Takechi deciding to train for a proper pro wrestling debut scheduled for 25th February.
