Before anyone in DDT could take some rest from the busy holiday season there was one more show to do this week. The tickets for the show only cost 3,000 yen and were already sold out (although for the second show in a row DDT didn’t announce an attendance number which is weird). The entire card was kept as a mystery until the matches took place. The main event was a KO-D 10-Man Tag Team Titles defence but the surprise was four teams being included in the match to make it a Survival 4 Way. With 20 men involved in total the match was chaos but the champions wound up as the last ones standing, narrowly defeating DAMNATION T.A in the end.

The winners then promoted the D GENERATIONS CUP that will take place in February. Keigo Nakamura said he wants to get everyone in the tournament fired up. Kazuma Sumi proclaimed he is going to beat everyone to win. To-y assured the others they are always going to be best friends but he will crush them to win it two years in a row. Yuki Ishida told Nakamura to be prepared because he wants to beat him specifically. Yuya Koroku made a promise to Tetsuya Endo he will win the tournament. Later backstage To-y and Koroku put aside their differences coming off of the Sumo Hall show and shook hands.

Today is Endo’s last match with DDT for a while so he took on his former BURNING partner Yuki Iino. Endo won the match with the Burning Star Press and told the fans he will go to NOAH with BURNING on his chest and DDT on his back. When he returns he will bring lots of treasure back with him. Iino promised that when he wins the KO-D Openweight Title he will have a rematch with Endo.

A new ring announcer named Task Ono started on today’s show.
