Kota Ibushi got himself into an awkward situation today when he unintentionally crashed a press conference held by New Japan to promote their upcoming PPV on 11/11. The conference included a contract signing for the IWGP Jr. Title Match between champion Low Ki and challenger Prince Devitt. However, Ibushi entered the room before either wrestler and sat down at the table. When Devitt, Low Ki and New Japan president Naoki Sugabayashi entered they were surprised to see Ibushi greeting them. Ibushi explained he was here to sign the contract for his rematch with Low Ki. Sugabayashi tried to explain that the contract wasn’t for him. Ibushi sighed with disappointment but cheered up when Sugabayashi said that when this match is over, Ibushi will be able to compete for the next title shot. Ibushi tried to seal the president’s promise with a pinkie shake but Sugabayashi redirected the offer of gratitude to his interpreter Mr. Nishizawa. Ibushi then left the room and was escorted out of the building.

1. Daisuke Sasaki Vs Tetsuya Endo
2. 3 Way Match: Antonio Honda Vs Masa Takanashi Vs Akito
3. Makoto Oishi Vs Hikaru Sato
4. Danshoku Dino & Makoto Vs Kaz Hayashi & Yuu Yamagata
5. Sanshiro Takagi & Yoshihiro Takayama Vs HARASHIMA & Hiro Tsumaki
6. Kota Ibushi, MIKAMI & Shuji Ishikawa Vs Keisuke Ishii, Shigehiro Irie & Takao Soma
Team Dream Future’s assault on the main event scene in both DDT and Union has drawn the ire of Shuji Ishikawa. So much so that Ishikawa is jumping over to DDT to face them on their turf. Ishikawa will be teaming with Kota Ibushi and MIKAMI, setting up Drift’s strongest opponents to date.
The bump up to main event for Shigehiro Irie & Takao Soma means that they will no longer face Sanshiro Takagi & Yoshihiro Takayama on the card. Instead, Takagi & Takayama will take on the new team of Shima-Hiro.

Poison Sawada JULIE is using his retirement match to help shine the spotlight on DDT’s rookies. However, he will also be bringing back some old pals to help him out one last time. One of them is Takatoge, the supernatural alter ego of Takashi Sasaki that existed around a decade ago. Sasaki dusts off the gimmick to bid farewell to Sawada.
DDT, Big Japan, FREEDOMS, K-DOJO and Ice Ribbon will be hosting the “NEW YEAR YOKOHAMA WRESTLING FIESTA” in the Red Brick Warehouse on 5th and 6th January. Big Japan last held the Yokohama Wrestling Fiesta in April 2007. This time around there are several promotions teaming together using the same concept as the annual Sapporo Wrestling Festival in October.

Takashi Dai, who was injured in his debut match back in March has resigned from DDT. Dai suffered a cervical fracture as well as damage to his spinal cord during his match with Shigehiro Irie and has been been in rehabilitation since then. The good news is he has recovered enough to where he can exercise again. However, it is unlikely he will return to wrestling anytime soon so he and DDT came to terms on his release.
