6. GHC Tag Team Titles: Manabu Soya & Yuki Iino defeated Tetsuya Naito & BUSHI when Soya pinned BUSHI after the Jonetsu IS (18:20).
*Los Tranquilos de Japon fail in V4. Jonetsu MAX become the 77th GHC Tag Team Champions!
7. GHC Heavyweight Title: Shane Haste (c) defeated Tetsuya Endo with the Bomb Valley Death (22:50).
*V2 for Shane Haste.

The DDT representatives over in NOAH got mixed results at today’s show held in Korakuen Hall. In the main event Tetsuya Endo challenged Shane Haste for the GHC Heavyweight Title, hoping to achieve his goal of becoming the champion of NOAH during his extended absence from DDT. The two wrestlers are normally allies within the White Raven Sqwad faction but that friendship was put aside once the bell rang to begin the match. Endo hit the Shooting Star Press but was too hurt from the impact to pin Haste in time (he had missed the same move a minute earlier so it was just all catching up to him at that point). But when he had Haste stunned in the corner, Endo got into a sumo stance and ran across the ring to hit the God’s Right Knee! Sadly the combined tribute to Kazusada Higuchi and Yukio Sakaguchi wasn’t enough for Endo to win. Haste knocked Endo loopy with a Shoryuken over at the corner then used the Sleeper Suplex and Piledriver for a nearfall. Endo kicked out again after taking a Short-Range Lariat but was then put away with his reverse version of the Death Valley Bomb. Haste thought he was going to crush Endo like a beetle today but he learned Endo is super tough like a stag beetle, a rhinoceros beetle or a big bad Beetleborg. Endo had said he was going to give an announcement if he won the GHC Title today but since he didn’t, he will put the announcement on hold for now and continue to aim for the championship.

Things could not have gone any better for Yuki Iino in the match before that. He and Manabu Soya followed up from winning the NEO GLOBAL TAG LEAGUE by beating Los Tranquilos de Japon for the GHC Tag Team Titles! The passion of the challengers was tested when BUSHI blinded Soya by spitting mist in his face but Iino guided his partner so they could give Tetsuya Naito a Double Back Drop. Iino then rubbed his face against Soya to wipe off some of the mist so Soya could see clearly again. The two then psyched each other up to charge at BUSHI and then they gave him the Jonetsu IS for the title change. Jonetsu MAX’s big moment was quickly ruined when Masa Kitamiya & Takashi Sugiura from Team 2000X came into the ring to attack them. Kitamiya is sick of hearing them go on and on about passion so he and Sugiura are going to be their first challengers.

Are we going to get a final decision from Kyoraku Kyomei over whether or not they will accept Daydream’s demand for a Princess Tag Team Titles defence against them?

Another fresh face joshi is showing up to Ganbare☆Pro thanks to Moeka Haruhi. The PURE-J wrestler Mia made her debut this past February and she has wrestled on the same PURE-J shows as Haruhi but hasn’t gotten to be in a match with her there yet. So Haruhi set up a match for them to happen in GanPro.

BASARA “BASARA 313 ~SUPER BRILLIANCE~”, 02/08/2026
Tokyo Korakuen Hall

1. Iron Fist Tag Team Titles: Takato Nakano & Masato Kamino (c) Vs Isami Kodaka & Yuko Miyamoto
2. Union MAX Title: Shuji Ishikawa (c) Vs Takumi Tsukamoto

BASARA’s recent tournament ended with Takumi Tsukamoto becoming the No. 1 Contender for the Union MAX Title. He said he will stop Shuji Ishikawa from being the champion for the next ten years because that means Ishikawa will be holding onto the belt until he is sixty.

A big name tag team is reuniting in BASARA, giving Aijin Tag a big target to take down in order to prove they are the promotion’s best ever duo. Isami Kodaka has stopped his recent losing streak while Yuko Miyamoto is all of a sudden getting a couple of title matches in different places. We should pay attention because Yankee Two Kenju might be back and better than ever.

This is the match order for Sunday’s show. YUZUKI will be there for Strange Love Connection which is good enough reason for the team to swap places with The 37KAMIINA in the entrance order.

DDT “REMBRANDT HIGHWAY SERIES 2026 ~AYU COLISUEM IN ATSUGI~”, 05/07/2026
Kanagawa Rembrandt Hotel Atsugi Grand Banquet Sagami

6. Yuki Ueno & Shunma Katsumata Vs Jun Akiyama & Junta Miyawaki

I wonder if Yuki Ishida’s little video last week about him needing to change will lead to anything drastic happening between now and this show taking place.

Tokyo Asakusa ROX 3G Super Multi Court

1. Yuya Koroku, Daichi Sato & MBM Vs Tomomitsu Matsunaga, Rukiya & Masami Inahata

The French wrestler MBM is returning to Japan in July. He is already booked for a Super Japan show during his stay and a few days later he will be back in DDT too.

Shinjuku FACE

1. Invisible Man Rumble: Kazuki Hirata Vs Lengendary Invisible Man Fighters
2. Special 8-Man Tag Match: Yuki Ueno, Shinya Aoki, To-y & Kaisei Takechi Vs KANON, Yuki Iino, Yukio Naya & Viento Levante (w/ KIMIHIRO & YUZUKI)
3. Summer Fun KING OF DRUNK 2026: Daisuke Sasaki Vs Kazuma Sumi Vs Chris Brookes Vs MAO Vs Shunma Katsumata

Last Year’s KING OF DRUNK winner Daisuke Sasaki is ready to defend his crown.

What’s a big attraction like Kaisei Takechi doing at the Beer Garden? Would THE RAMPAGE allow him to have a few drinks if he wishes to have some?

Come see the Invisible Man Rumble… except you can’t… because most of the entries are invisible… We’re starting to enter the territory where this could be mistaken for a Mystery Wrestling show instead of a DDT show.

Kumadori will be on the first day of Beer Garden but he hasn’t been announced for the second day yet.

DDT “FIGHTING BEER GARDEN 2026 IN SHINJUKU 【FINAL COUNTDOWN 2】”, 16/07/2026
Shinjuku FACE

1. Special Tag Match: Daisuke Sasaki & Mikiya Sasaki Vs Shunma Katsumata & To-y
2. Blindfold Nipple Covered 4 Way Death Match: Yuki Ueno Vs Kazuki Hirata Vs Junta Miyawaki Vs Masami Inahata
3. Kaidan Shin-Numabukuro Royale: Kaisei Takechi Vs Jun Akiyama Vs Danshoku Dieno Vs MAO Vs KANON Vs Naomi Yoshimura Vs Rukiya Vs Hinata Kasai
*Kaidan Reading Artist: Hisaya Imabayashi
4. KO-D 6-Man Tag Team Titles: Takeshi Masada, Yuya Koroku & Daichi Sato (c) Vs Chris Brookes, HARASHIMA & Antonio Honda

Takechi gets to experience the annual ghost story from Hisaya Imabayashi too! Junta Miyawaki also gets to experience more DDT-ness by taking part in his first Blindfold match. Maybe this time everyone else will want to drink along with him.

I have a suspicion that Mikiya Sasaki is going to impersonate Daisuke Sasaki instead of doing his usual Dory Funk Jr. tribute. Or how about Daisuke shows up thinking he’s Terry Funk?

DDT “YUKI UENO 10TH ANNIVERSARY SHOW -IN MY MIND “10”-”, 13/09/2026
Tokyo Korakuen Hall

1. Special Tag Match: MAO & Yoshihiko Vs Kazuki Hirata & Kaisei Takechi
2. Yuki Ueno 10th Anniversary Match ~ Special Single Match: Yuki Ueno Vs Shunma Katsumata

A promise was made by Yuki Ueno to have Kazuki Hirata & Kaisei Takechi team up together for his show. He just needed to find the right opponents for them. MAO fits the bill just fine as one half of the opposition. As for the other? Takechi prepare to meet your match in the form of Yoshihiko!
