1. Special 6-Man Tag Match: Chris Brookes, MAO & Sayaka defeated Mr. Bueno, Mr. Malo & Ram Kaichow when Brookes pinned Malo with a Somato (17:56).

The fashion magazine NYLON JAPAN held a party inside the Kabukicho Tower to celebrate its 22nd Anniversary. Among all the DJs and idol bands performing on stage, Baka Gaijin + Friends was invited to hold a no ring wrestling match in the venue. Ram Kaichow got to DJ her own set before the match. She and MAO also got to do stage dives onto their opponents. Sayaka was used as the top piece of the Schadenfreude Tower spot. Mr. Bueno fell victim to the rubber band spot that stretch from the middle of the room right up to the stage. Chris Brookes got busted open when MAO accidentally smashed a plastic box over his head. He took more damage when Kaichow Choke Slammed him onto more boxes. However Brookes recovered to sprint across the room and hit Mr. Malo with the Somato, pinning him to end the match.

1. Sakura Hattori defeated Kira Summer with the Shinden Fudo Ryu Majime Ura (8:25).
2. Mahiro Kiryu, HIMAWARI & Shino Suzuki defeated Raku, Pom Harajuku & Mifu Ashida when Kiryu pinned Ashida with the Spinebuster (12:21).
3. Yuki Kamifuku defeated Chika Nanase when Kamifuku pinned Nanase with the Famouser (7:30).
4. Mizuki & Uta Takami defeated Ren Konatsu & Shion Kanzaki when Mizuki submitted Kanzaki with the Southern Cross (10:43).
5. Rika Tatsumi & Miu Watanabe defeated Wakana Uehara & Toga when Watanabe pinned Toga after the Daydream Eternity (14:17).
6. Suzume & Arisu Endo defeated Yuki Arai & Haru Kazashiro when Suzume pinned Kazashiro with the Ring A Bell (15:26).

The main event was a preview of what is coming up in 10 days time. The champions and challengers for the Princess Of Princess Title match and International Princess Title match. It was also a chance for Daisy Monkey to catch up with each other as a tag team again. While Arisu Endo kept Yuki Arai on her toes, Suzume matches Haru Kazashiro’s athleticism and then some, intercepting one of her Springboard moves into a Facecrusher and later pinning her with the Ring A Bell. After the match Suzume told Endo she wants them both to hold championships again even if this time they are different colours. Endo later said she can see a future where she is the adventurer defeating the final boss to get the treasure. Arai feels strange being called that but if she’s now the main character of Tokyo Joshi Pro then she wants to write a masterpiece as its champion! Kazashiro said she has gained some fighting spirit for her own title match despite losing today.

There is something else Daydream is looking for along with the Princess Tag Team Titles. Both Rika Tatsumi & Miu Watanabe have been a team for a long time now but they never had their own tag team entrance song. So Daydream wants to win the Princess Tag Titles from The IInspiration and then sing their own brand new song.

The Southern Cross that Mizuki used to win her match was more like the Crossface/Labell Lock than the usual Face Lock she puts opponents in.

Some of those who went to Texas brought back some souvenirs to show off to everyone who stayed home. Raku & Pom Harajuku both went into their match wearing the Buc-ee outfits they got in Texas. Mifu Ashida was also dressed head to toe in Buc-ee’s merchandise.

8. Princess Tag Team Titles: Jessie McKay & Cassie Lee (c) Vs Miu Watanabe & Rika Tatsumi
9. Princess Of Princess Title: Yuki Arai (c) vs Arisu Endo

It’s all set for Golden Week. Five years ago Yuki Arai had her pro wrestling debut with Arisu Endo as one of her opponents. Now they are going to fight for the Princess Of Princess Title as part of Arai’s 5th Anniversary! Endo has thought of Arai being TJPW’s ultimate hero but that’s a role she wants for herself. Arai thinks this match is fate because many of her important matches have involved Endo.

The IInspiration were given a fair warning by Miu Watanabe that Rika Tatsumi wanted to meet them. Now they have to deal with Daydream as their next challengers for the Princess Tag Team Titles. Since Jessie McKay & Cassie Lee aren’t in Japan at the moment, Daydream have found two dolls and decorated them to look like The IInspiration. They claim they are just doing it to be cute but everyone else can’t help but think this is mind games coming from the challengers.

He will be out of action until at least 6th May. Once that event passes DDT will consult with his doctor over when Ilusion can be cleared to return. Minoru Fujita has been called in on short notice to replace Ilusion on tomorrow’s show.

5. Takeshi Masada Produce Match – No Throwing Moves Match: Takeshi Masada Vs To-y

The main event of the next D GENERATIONS show is getting a little experimental. Takeshi Masada is in charge of putting the match together and he decided to take on To-y in a match where throwing moves are prohibited. So in theory would that mean his finisher and To-y’s finisher aren’t allowed and we’re getting a match full of kicks against chops instead?

This will be Masami Inahata’s first appearance on a D GENERATIONS show.

6. Special Single Match: Chris Brookes defeated Ilusion with the House Piano Death (18:51).

With just under two weeks to go until the King Of DDT begins, but there is also the KO-D Tag Team Titles match happening before then. With Daisuke Sasaki still in America, Ilusion took it upon himself as the new “leader” of DAMNATION T.A to go fight Chris Brookes. He demanded their match be Falls Count Anywhere and they went on to brawl all over the venue, only to be intimidated back down to the ring by Minoru Suzuki for getting in his way backstage. Ilusion put Brookes through a table with the Coffin Drop but then crashed through a pile of chairs when he missed the Swanton Bomb from the stage. Brookes took him back to the ring and twisted him into submission to win the match. He admitted that Ilusion has gotten stronger since the last time they had a singles match against each other two years ago. Ilusion thanked Brookes for fighting him today but promised to get revenge on him thousands of times over by winning the KO-D Tag Titles on 1st May.

Suzuki got to survey some of the field by fighting with HARASHIMA against Yukio Naya & Yuki Ishida. He will be facing Naya in the first round and mocked him before the show by calling him a clumsy flop when he originally debuted. Naya retaliated by saying he is putting his entire body on the line to become DDT’s best heavyweight. Suzuki’s response to that is that wrestling is about more than just size. He has travelled the world barefoot and understands that size by itself does not give wrestlers an advantage or disadvantage. He went on to show that off today by using the Sleeper Hold on both Naya and Ishida, giving both wrestlers a similar experience before he pinned Ishida with the Gotch-Style Piledriver.

A three match journey has been given to Junta Miyawaki for him to truly understand what DDT is during his stay here. First up he fought Antonio Honda and the two agreed to have a fair fight. Miyawaki put his best foot forward by constantly saving Honda from falling over and injuring himself. However it came at a cost of Miyawaki injuring his own knees instead. Honda encouraged him by getting Miyawaki to join in on the Gongitsune joke before attacking him by the knees. Miyawaki was able to kick out of the Tenzan Tombstone Driver and block Honda’s Rolling Cradle to win the match by the skin of his teeth. He was then told by Hisaya Imabayashi that the second match in his trial will be against Kazuki Hirata on 3rd June.


DDT/Sasadango Vs NJPW/Yano Round 2 Announced

April 21, 2026

DDT/NJPW “ONE-ON-ONE CONFRONTATION PART 2 ~TEAM SASADANGO VS TEAM YANO 5-ON-5 ELIMINATION TAG BATTLE~”, 08/06/2025
Tokyo Korakuen Hall

1. Team Sasadango Vs Team Yano: X Vs X
2. Team Sasadango Vs Team Yano: X Vs X
3. Team Sasadango Vs Team Yano: X Vs X
4. Team Sasadango Vs Team Yano: X Vs X
5. Team Sasadango Vs Team Yano: X Vs X

A joint press conference was held on Monday between DDT and New Japan to announced a follow up event to last year’s “One Match” show that pitted Super Sasadango Machine against Toru Yano in Korakuen Hall. It was a show that helped heal a decade long rift between the two companies. This time around DDT and New Japan want to hold a similar event but have it be built around sportsmanship so the format is going to be a 5 Vs 5 Team Elimination Challenge. At the press conference Sasadango and Yano both talked about the respect they gained for each other after last year’s match and how much of a learning experience it was for the two companies to understand what they can each provide for the pro wrestling world.

Much like last year, the show will be held as a dual PPV broadcast airing on both NJPW World and Wrestle Universe with each feed being its own complete production. Just like the wrestlers, there was mutual respect earned among the production teams after last year’s show. Yano wants the match to have a definitive winner this time instead of the agreed upon double countout that happened last time. He is ready to call up wrestlers from New Japan’s Hontai unit to be on his team. When Sasadango heard that, he pointed out that he doesn’t currently belong to any DDT unit so he is free to pick whoever he wants in the company to join his team.

The two agreed that they need to be flexible over the rules of the match and they might organize a meeting leading up to the show to hammer out all the details. Sasadango suggested they may include some extra wrestlers placed in reserve should their original picks get injured or decide to leave their company before the match takes place. He also wondered if the 5 Vs 5 format just means five singles matches or if it will be possible to have tag bouts take place? Yano understands the idea and is open to it, again pointing out that the rules need to be flexible for this situation. They both seem to understand that the show will consist of five matches but some may end up being tag team matches instead of singles. The press conference ended with Sasadango saying he trusts New Japan will not betray DDT and Yano said the same vice versa.

7. Gathering! The Three Unagi Siblings! ~In One Pond~ Special 6-Man Tag Match: Unagi Mask, Super Unagi Mask & Unagi Mask Woman defeated Aja Kong, Chris Brookes & Antonio Honda when Super Unagi pinned Honda with the Super Unagi Splash (15:01).

A very rainy day turned out to be an unintentional boost for the Three Unagi Siblings. Who could have predicted that wet conditions would favour seafood themed wrestlers? Antonio Honda had his face painted to match Aja Kong and tried to torture his opponents by eating a bento box on top of them after Chris Brookes rolled all of them up into Paradise Locks. The Siblings got their payback when Unagi Mask Woman grabbed Kong’s steel bin from her and hit her over the head with it. She also gave Brookes a German Suplex to clear out the ring. Super Unagi Mask then hit a Springboard Splash onto Honda for the three count. Unagi Mask brought Shishamo Power into the ring after the match so all of the seafood wrestlers could celebrate their victories with the president of Yamada Suisan. They promised to work hard so they can run this event again.

The rainy weather arrived during Match #4 where Gota Ihashi wrestled wearing a Yamada Suisan staff outfit. He wasn’t much use in the match so it was up to Shishamo Power to win it.


TOKYO JOSHI PRO “TJPW INSPIRATION” Results

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “TJPW INSPIRATION”, 18/04/2026
TOKYO SQUARE In Itabashi
222 Fans – Super No Vacancy Full House

1. Kakeru Sekiguchi & Mahiro Kiryu defeated Kira Summer & Chika Nanase when Kiryu pinned Nanase with the Spinebuster (11:25).
2. Mifu Ashida defeated Papillon Akemi with the German Suplex (12:34).
3. Mei Suruga defeated Ren Konatsu with the Gâteau Invisible (11:08).
4. Arisu Endo & Haru Kazashiro defeated Rika Tatsumi & Shion Kanzaki when Endo pinned Kanzaki with the Ju no Okite (18:32).

While the majority of the Tokyo Joshi Pro roster went over to America, those who remained in Japan held their own show, the next edition of the “TJPW INSPIRATION” series of shorter wrestling events that are a little bit different than usual. In the main event Rika Tatsumi took a break to go get food for herself & Shion Kanzaki. They also force fed their opponents with the food. Arisu Endo & Haru Kazashiro launched a successful comeback with Kazashiro diving onto the other team and Endo then finishing off Kanzaki with the Ju no Okite. After the match, Kazashiro sent out a message of thanks to Suzume for successfully defending the International Princess Title in America. She owes so much of her career to Suzume which is why she wanted her to be the champion for her 4th May title shot. Endo then announced that she wants to be the next person to challenge Yuki Arai for the Princess Of Princess Title! She actually called Arai backstage after the show to challenge her directly after figuring out it was 10pm over in Las Vegas so she should still be awake. Arai answered the call, confirmed she watched the show on Wrestle Universe and accepted Arai’s challenge!

Last year Mei Suruga and Ren Konatsu got to wrestle each other in a tag match at “WRESTLE PRINCESS VI” but today was their first singles match against each other. Suruga refused to shake Konatsu’s hand before the match and then got into a pose-off to see who is cuter. She then clipped off the toy sheep from Konatsu’s belt to taunt her further. Konatsu tried to fight back but missed the Aries Comet, allowing Suruga to trap her in the Gâteau Invisible and make her tap out. Suruga said she had so much fun today and was bursting with motivation because whenever the TJPW roster travels overseas, it feels like Japan is left entrusted to wrestlers like herself. She thinks Konatsu has a lot of room for growth so she hopes they can wrestle each other more and more. She is also excited to form “The Ultimate Sister Trio” of herself, Mizuki & Uta Takami at the 4th May Korakuen Hall show. Konatsu said she aimed to bite the “big apple” right down to her core but instead it was herself who was eaten alive today.

Mifu Ashida’s cheerleading talents convinced Papillon Akemi to give it a go during their match. It eventually became a distraction so they went back to wrestling each other. Akemi lost focus and became vulnerable to Ashida doing the German Suplex to get the victory.

Twin magic prevailed in the opener! Kakeru Sekiguchi & Mahiro Kiryu kept finding ways to use their similar likenesses in order to confuse Kira Summer & Chika Nanase into forgetting who was who. Not every plan worked but the confusion led to Nanase accidentally knocking down Summer with a missed attack. Sekiguchi then sent Nanase into Kiryu’s way for the Spinebuster to end the match.
