Whoever wins them will get a KO-D Title shot whenever they want from the time they win them up until 27th September.

6. Dramatic Dream Match: KONOSUKE TAKESHITA Vs Kaisei Takechi
7. KO-D Openweight Title: Yuki Ueno (c) Vs MAO

The card is starting to fill up. Yuki Ueno and MAO will be in the KO-D Title match in Sumo Hall again for the second time in the hopes of carrying DDT on the ultimate path towards the Tokyo Dome. There are also some inter-promotional bouts to look forward to with Kazuma Sumi defending the DDT Universal Title against Ryusuke Taguchi in a continuation of the DDT Vs New Japan rivalry. There is still some friendliness between the two companies because Daisuke Sasaki has picked DOUKI to be his tag partner for the mystery match against Antonio Honda and whoever he is going to pick (the popular guess online so far seems to be YOH). Dragon Gate is also taking part in the fun by sending YAMATO over for a match. Unfortunately for him he’s getting Danshoku Dieno as his opponent.

Yuki Kamifuku To Graduate From TJPW This December

June 29, 2026

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “KAMIYU AND HER MERRY FRIENDS ~A SPECIAL CLASS GRADE CURSED OBJECT ENCOUNTERED IN A SQUARE~”, 27/11/2026
Tokyo Korakuen Hall

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “YUKI KAMIFUKU HOMECOMING”, 10/12/2026
Fujisawa City Shonandai Cultural Center

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “TJPW YEAR-END PARTY 2026 ~YUKI KAMIFUKU GRADUATION SPECIAL~”, 26/12/2026
Tokyo Korakuen Hall

A press conference was held inside the Korakuen Hotel in Tokyo today to announce that Yuki Kamifuku will be graduating from Tokyo Joshi Pro and retiring from pro wrestling at the end of 2026. Kamifuku has decided to retire on 26th December and she assured everyone there is no bad reason for it happening. Her explanation is she feels the best time to end her career is to do it while she is at her coolest. After thinking about it recently, she believes she is at her coolest right now so now is the right time to quit being a wrestler. Both Tetsuya Koda and Sanshiro Takagi attended the conference and spoke about Kamifuku’s plan to graduate. Koda calls her an indispensable presence for TJPW and he was saddened to hear the news from her. He praised her for being a good person who always worked hard and conveyed a lot of love in her own way. Kamifuku’s last match on 26th December will not be the culmination of her career but it will be when everyone sees Kamifuku in her completed and most beautiful form.

Takagi told the story of how Kamifuku came to TJPW in the first place. He knew a manager from a talent agency called Star Ray Production and this manager recommended he come meet a model of theirs who stands 170cm tall. Takagi took her to TJPW and felt obligated to turn her into a star even though she had absolutely no knowledge of pro wrestling. He remembers how Kamifuku would constantly call him in the middle of the night with questions about wrestling that she didn’t understand. He considered blocking her number but felt she had a strong determination to become a pro wrestler and make TJPW successful as her top priority. He is grateful that Kamifuku begun in TJPW and stayed with the company for her entire career. To thank her for that, he and Koda will give her a road to retirement that will make her feel glad she was with TJPW until the very end and can leave without any regrets.

A key part of the retirement road will be Kamifuku producing her own wrestling show at Korakuen Hall on 27th November. She intends to invite her close friends and other important people she met in wrestling to gather together for a fun event. Confirmed to appear so far are Aja Kong, VENY, Yuki Iino and Sumire Natsu while Kumadori was brought up as a possible guest. Kamifuku would also like to have a match with Takagi on the show. Takagi suggested they should be opponents instead of tag partners so he can get revenge for all the times she called him in the middle of the night. Takagi also said he can get Yumehito Imanari to produce a special video for Kamifuku that she can use on the show. Other than that, Kamifuku doesn’t really have anything in mind for what she wants to do during the last six months of her career. She isn’t interested in winning one more championship and would rather have fun matches with her friends.

Kamifuku was asked about when she realized she felt she was at her peak? She noticed in the last six months her follower count on social media was growing at a steady pace and she’s been getting more praise from fans over the period. Also since she is no longer getting yelled at by her senpais, she hasn’t felt like she’s been doing anything wrong lately. That feels like being at the peak to her. The recent Princess Of Princess Title challenge involved a lot of hard work to get ready for it but she came feeling a lot of motivation afterward. She thinks she could continue wrestling for another three or four years but it would be a gamble if she achieves even more success or just end up being stuck where she is now. She’s already taken enough gambles, comparing her career to playing a slot machine 30 times and thinking she’s had enough.

She was then asked about her post-retirement plans, like would she get married? Kamifuku joked that she has plenty of imaginary fiancés but doesn’t know what lies in her future. She has thought about having a family someday but she isn’t particularly fond of children to begin with. However her pet dog Zac is getting old and she wants to be there for him just like he’s been there for her throughout the toughest times of her life. She also wants to be around for her parents as they get older too.

The fourth official board meeting for United Japan Pro Wrestling took place earlier this month on 19th June.

6. Yuki Arai, Miu Watanabe, Rika Tatsumi & Suzume Vs Miyu Yamashita, Shoko Nakajima, Hyper Misao & Wakana Uehara

There is a possibility that tomorrow’s Tokyo Joshi Pro show could be cancelled over weather concerns. Tokyo is going to deal with two separate typhoons this weekend and while TJPW currently has the okay to go ahead with their show, things can change depending on safety decisions made by either the government, the local transport services or the venue itself.

Tokyo Grand Hammer

1. Falls Count Anywhere 6-Man Tag Match: Takeshi Masada, Yuya Koroku & Daichi Sato Vs Yukio Naya, Yuki Ishida & Masami Inahata

I haven’t seen any similar cancellation warnings for the DDT show happening later in the day.

This is the go home show for “SUMMER SUN PRINCESS ’26” and the last prelim match between Yuki Arai and Miyu Yamashita. This is being taken in the form of Kyoto Tag taking on K!SS//.

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?

6. Spirit Of Ganbare World Openweight Title: Mizuki Watase (c) Vs SUSHI

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.

SUPER JAPAN “BEER GARDEN PRO WRESTLING”, 06/07/2026

1. Unpaid Rumble RETURNS!: Sanshiro Takagi Vs Shota Vs Anarko Montaña Vs Yuki Uenokachimachi Vs Okami Kodomo No Hame To Dori Vs Ono-D-Takuma Vs Takashi Oyanakase Vs Sayaingen Kamitani Vs Gansha Fuck Vs Kim Yo-chan Vs GOKUTSUBUSHI Vs Suman Hansen Vs Taiga Vs Honami Takemoto Vs Cho Chichi Shikyu Vs Tsutenkakuka Vs Tataiki Torinomi Vs Genta Nakajo Vs Ujikoji Nagata Vs Yasunori Haou Vs Hameshio HONYO Nyobon Vs “Hamerican Dragon” Bryan Hanielson Vs HAYAZi Vs Hurricane Oniha Vs “Binbin 53cm” Hewyette Stormutzli Vs Koki Fujimoto Vs Nanae Furukawa Vs Hen China Vs Maha Lycopene Vs Mieccha Tiger Mask Vs Movie Star Vs Yoku Tatsu Vs Rising HAYATOCHIRI Vs X

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.

7. KO-D Openweight Title: Yuki Ueno (c) Vs Shinya Aoki

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

2. Danshoku Dieno & To-y Vs Kazuki Hirata & Yuni
3. Takeshi Masada, Yuya Koroku & Daichi Sato Vs Kazuma Sumi, Yuki Ishida & Rukiya

5. FANTÔMES DRAMATIC Vs STRANGE LOVE CONNECTION!: Chris Brookes, HARASHIMA & Antonio Honda Vs MAO, KANON & Viento Levante (w/ KIMIHIRO)
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.

DDT “ASAKUSA ROX NAKAMISE FIGHTING 2026”, 08/07/2026
Tokyo Asakusa ROX 3G Super Multi Court

1. Yuya Koroku, Daichi Sato & MBM Vs Tomomitsu Matsunaga, Rukiya & Masami Inahata
2. Special 6-Man Tag Match: MAO, KANON (w/ KIMIHIRO) & Kazuma Sumi Vs Danshoku Dieno, Kazuki Hirata & Yoshihiko
3. Special 6-Man Tag Match: Yuki Ueno, Ryota Nakatsu & Naomi Yoshimura Vs Takeshi Masada, To-y & Yuki Ishida

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.

DDT “CHECK OUT DDT AT GRANSHIP”, 12/07/2026
Shizuoka Granship Exchange Hall

1. Danshoku Dieno & Antonio Honda Vs Kazuki Hirata & Akito
2. Jun Akiyama & Rukiya Vs MJ Paul & Ilusion
3. Special 6-Man Tag Match: Chris Brookes, HARASHIMA & Hinata Kasai Vs Kazuma Sumi, Takeshi Masada & Yuya Koroku

Shinya Aoki will be on the show. If he wins the KO-D Openweight Title this weekend then according to the schedule this show will be his first appearance as champion.

DDT “FIGHTING BEER GARDEN 2026 IN SHINJUKU 【FINAL COUNTDOWN 1】”, 15/07/2026
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!

BASARA “BASARA 309 ~UTAGE~”, 23/06/2026
Shin-Kiba 1st RING

1. Union MAX Title Next Challenger Tournament Block A – Semi Final: Takumi Tsukamoto Vs Daiki Shimomura
2. Union MAX Title Next Challenger Tournament Block B – Semi Final: FUMA Vs Lil’ Kraken
3. Isami Kodaka, SAGAT & Minoru Fujita Vs Takato Nakano, Masato Kamino & Takeru Inoue
4. 3 Way 6-Man Tag Match: Ryota Nakatsu, Daichi Kazato & Seiya Morohashi Vs Trans-Am ★ Hiroshi, Tsutomu Oosugi & Banana Senga Vs Shuji Ishikawa, Yasu Urano & Gouma Ryu
5. Union MAX Title Next Challenger Tournament – Final: Winner Of Block A Vs Winner Of Block B

I can’t imagine BASARA will be doing another tournament later this summer. The semi finals and final happens tomorrow.

DDT “CHARISMANIA IV”, 02/07/2026
Shinjuku FACE

1. Fake Brahman Army Vs Mataro Army All-Out Confrontation: Fake Brahman Yuki, Fake Brahman Yuki & Fake Brahman Yuki Vs Trans-Am ★ Hiroshi, Takayuki Ueki & Takeshi Masada (w/ Mataro)
2. Yasu Urano & Sangre Azteca Jr. Vs Naohiro Katsumi & Yunicaras Jr. (w/ Sumicaras)
3. Special Single Match: MJ Paul Vs Ryunosuke Nagai
4. Special Tag Match: Minoru Fujita & Ilusion Vs Ayato Ishida & Gabai Ji-chan
5. DDT Extreme Title: Hideki Okatani (c) Vs Yuko Miyamoto
6. O-40 Title – 3 Way Match: Daisuke Sasaki (c) Vs Shuji Ishikawa Vs Keisuke Ishii

Coming out of the weekend Hideki Okatani is now on a roll as the DDT Extreme Champion. His next defence has Daisuke Sasaki’s stamp of approval included because he is bringing in Yuko Miyamoto to be the challenger on this show.

We previously had a luchador named Yunicaras on these kind of shows but he got unmasked the last time he was here. I bet Yunicaras Jr. is a completely different person. No way would it be Yuni just coming back as another incognito luchador again. That would just ruin Sumicaras’s reputation and be an insult to Sangre Azteca Jr.

The match order outside of the main event has not been decided yet.

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

1. KO-D 6-Man Tag Team Titles: Takeshi Masada, Yuya Koroku & Daichi Sato (c) Vs Chris Brookes, HARASHIMA & Antonio Honda

A tag team title war has broken out between FANTÔMES DRAMATIC and paleyouth. Both sides have championships and they agreed to defend the belts against each other this July. First up is paleyouth defending the KO-D 6-Man Tag Team Titles and they only need one more win to break the record for most defences in a single reign. They have already beaten Fandora back in April but that was when the winless Hinata Kasai was on the challenger team. This time Antonio Honda is taking his place.

DDT “ROCK IN RING 2026 ~ONE HIT KILL~”, 26/07/2026
Tokyo Korakuen Hall

1. KO-D Tag Team Titles: Chris Brookes & HARASHIMA (c) Vs Takeshi Masada & Yuya Koroku

Then a week and a half later it will be Chris Brookes & HARASHIMA putting the KO-D Tag Team Titles on the line against Takeshi Masada & Yuya Koroku. Brookes thinks Masada would be better off teaming with Daichi Sato instead but Masada & Koroku recently debuted their own tag team finisher. This new weapon called The Roar For Tomorrow Created By Me And Yuya might be the extra step needed for paleyouth to dominate the tag division.

6. The 37KAMIINA Vs FANTÔMES DRAMATIC!: Yuki Ueno, Shunma Katsumata & To-y Vs Chris Brookes, HARASHIMA & Antonio Honda

This is the match order for tomorrow’s DDT show in Osaka. It will be the last warm up match for The 37KAMIINA and FANTÔMES DRAMATIC before Sunday’s KO-D Tag Team Titles match.

DDT “OWARI WARS 2026”, 21/06/2026
Aichi Chunichi Hall & Conference

1. Akito Vs Hinata Kasai
2. Special Tag Match: Shunma Katsumata & Kumadori Vs Yuni & Yuki Ishida
3. Jun Akiyama & Rukiya Vs Naomi Yoshimura & Masami Inahata

7. KO-D Tag Team Titles: Chris Brookes & HARASHIMA (c) Vs Yuki Ueno & To-y

And the KO-D Tag Title match gets the main event spot over the DDT Extreme Title bout on Sunday.

DDT “KING OF KINGS ~TENKA TAIRAN~”, 28/06/2026
Tokyo Korakuen Hall

0. Dark Match: Junta Miyawaki & Viento Levante Vs Akito & Miles Karu
1. The 37KAMIINA Vs STRANGE LOVE CONNECTION!: Shunma Katsumata & To-y Vs KANON & Yuki Iino (w/ KIMIHIRO)
2. FANTÔMES DRAMATIC Vs DAMNATION T.A!: Chris Brookes, HARASHIMA, Antonio Honda & Hinata Kasai Vs Daisuke Sasaki, Hideki Okatani, MJ Paul & Ilusion
3. Soma Takao Comeback Match: Soma Takao & Naomi Yoshimura Vs Yukio Naya & Yuki Ishida
4. Special 6-Man Tag Match: Takeshi Masada, Yuya Koroku & Daichi Sato Vs Kazuma Sumi, Yuni & Kumadori
5. Special 6-Man Tag Match: Minoru Suzuki, Danshoku Dieno & Kazuki Hirata Vs Jun Akiyama, Rukiya & Masami Inahata
6. No Referee Match: Sanshiro Takagi Vs MAO
7. KO-D Openweight Title: Yuki Ueno (c) Vs Shinya Aoki

During the week MAO ran over Sanshiro Takagi in a van for the fourth time in six years. The officiating whenever that happens during matches leaves a lot to be desired and Takagi has lost all faith in the DDT referees ever doing anything about it. So for Takagi’s upcoming match with MAO in Korakuen Hall there will not be any referees involved at all! Instead it will be up to the audience to count the pinfalls in unison and if the majority get to three in sync, that will decide the winner. Other than that the match will be No DQ and have no countouts. We cannot trust a room of 1,000 people to all be able to count up to 20 by themselves at the same time without the proper guidance present.

GANBARE☆PRO “ENTER THE VOID 2026”, 04/07/2026
Shin-Kiba 1st RING

1. Yumehito Imanari, Shinichiro Tominaga & Sentaro Motoshima Vs Shigehiro Irie, YuuRI & Shota Kawakami
2. Munetatsu Nakamura Vs Baliyan Akki
3. Shuichiro Katsumura & Yuya Susumu Vs Keisuke Ishii & Kouki Iwasaki
4. Spirit Of Ganbare World Tag Team Titles: Takuya Wada & Tyson Maeguchi (c) Vs Ken Ohka & Guts Ishijima
5. Spirit Of Ganbare World Openweight Title: Mizuki Watase (c) Vs SUSHI

SUSHI last wrestled for Ganbare☆Pro in April and was led to believe he would be booked for more shows with the promotion. That never happened and he’s been left out in the cold until he appeared at the most recent show demanding an explanation while pleading for a booking. Nobody expected he would be getting a Spirit Of Ganbare World Title shot out of it. Mizuki Watase doesn’t appreciate his bosses not living up to any promises they make to others so he agreed to wrestle SUSHI and put his championship on the line.

Watase’s decision to do that match has pushed back his plan to challenge The Deadlock for the Spirit Of Ganbare Tag Team Titles. That gives Ken Ohka & Guts Ishijima the chance to step in and grab the shot for themselves.

SUPER JAPAN “BEER GARDEN PRO WRESTLING”, 06/07/2026
Shinjuku FACE

1. Unpaid Rumble RETURNS!: X Vs X
2. Special Single Match: MBM Vs Miles Karu

6. Special Single Match: Yuji Nagata Vs CIMA
7. Special 6-Man Tag Match: Brahman Koji, Brahman Shu & Brahman Kei Vs Sanshiro Takagi, Ippanjin Munenori Sawa & Fuminori Abe

Now it’s Satoshi Kojima’s turn to become a Brahman Brother for a day.

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “SUMMER SUN PRINCESS ’26”, 18/07/2026
Tokyo Korakuen Hall

1. Shin Sakura Katsushika Hirota, HIMAWARI & Mifu Ashida Vs Raku, Pom Harajuku & Chika Nanase
2. Aja Kong Vs Arisu Endo
3. International Princess Title: Suzume (c) Vs Wakana Uehara
4. Princess Tag Team Titles: Miu Watanabe & Rika Tatsumi (c) Vs Shoko Nakajima & Hyper Misao
5. Princess Of Princess Title: Yuki Arai (c) Vs Miyu Yamashita

It’s a match made in heaven for Sakura Hirota’s debut in Tokyo Joshi Pro. Throw her in there with Raku & Pom Harajuku then watch the magic happen. Given her talents when it comes to impersonating wrestlers, Hirota could show up as any of the other wrestlers in the match. She can get a yarn wig for HIMAWARI, ruffle some newspaper pages together to make Mifu Ashida’s pom-poms or cover herself in orange wallpaper in order to become Chika Nanase.

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

1. Yuki Ueno 10th Anniversary Match ~ Special Single Match: Yuki Ueno Vs Shunma Katsumata

DDT’s current No. 1 celebrates his first decade of wrestling later this September. Yuki Ueno already revealed he wants his match on the show to involved Shunma Katsumata and we now know it’s going to be a singles bout between the two of them.

Summer Sun Princess ’26 Press Conference

June 18, 2026

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “SUMMER SUN PRINCESS ’26”, 18/07/2026
Tokyo Korakuen Hall

1. Aja Kong Vs Arisu Endo
2. International Princess Title: Suzume (c) Vs Wakana Uehara
3. Princess Tag Team Titles: Miu Watanabe & Rika Tatsumi (c) Vs Shoko Nakajima & Hyper Misao
4. Princess Of Princess Title: Yuki Arai (c) Vs Miyu Yamashita

A contract signing ceremony took place today for the three championship matches taking place at “SUMMER SUN PRINCESS ’26” next month. Miyu Yamashita talked about how long its been since she last challenged for the Princess Of Princess Title and she hasn’t felt tension like this in a long time. She only wants to fight for that title when she has a vision of what she would be like holding it. She’s been in the ring with Yuki Arai plenty of times even going back to Arai training for her debut match. She loves seeing the fighting spirit in Arai’s eyes but when they had the singles match at the end of last year that only lasted a minute, Arai’s eyes were not filled with fighting spirit and Yamashita felt no excitement from beating her so quickly. Arai made up for it by submitting Yamashita with the Scorpion Death Lock a month later and that is the wrestler Yamashita wants to fight again when the title is on the line.

Arai talked about her debut match five years ago happening on the same show where Yamashita successfully defended the Princess Title. It was the first time Arai watched a title match in person and it left a strong impression on her. As champion Arai wants to become the kind of presence that Yamashita has but she is aware there are many things she needs to improve to get there. She knew one day she would fight Yamashita for a championship but never thought she would be the champion and Yamashita the challenger. She promises to excite Yamashita next month and show everyone she has become one or two levels stronger. Arai also told a story from her first year as a wrestler. She had hurt the inside of her mouth and didn’t want to eat food because it stung too much. However Yamashita kept offering her food like soup and making her take it. At the time Arai thought it was Yamashita being very strict until she realised it was being done out of love because Yamashita didn’t want Arai to starve herself and lose weight.

The weird situation over the Princess Tag Team Titles match is only getting weirder. Kyoraku Kyomei boycotted the press conference in their continued protest of being put in the match against their will. Rise Shirai had to tell Daydream to sign the contract first and then it would be signed by the challengers at a later date. Both Miu Watanabe & Rika Tatsumi expressed their disappointment in the no show but they are certain the boycott will end and the title match will go ahead. Suddenly they were asked a question from Hasegawa an unknown reporter from a magazine called “Monthly Throwaway German”. Afterward came a question from someone named Hero Oka from the “Daily Hero” newspaper. The two reporters then insisted on asking more and more questions until they were suddenly standing face to face with Daydream. The disguises were then pulled off and the reporters were revealed to be Shoko Nakajima & Hyper Misao! Nakajima stole the contract from Shirai while Misao blinded Daydream with her Hero Spray. Since the contract currently only has Daydream’s signatures on them, that means the title match cannot go ahead. Kyoraku Kyomei will keep the contract for themselves to make sure it won’t take place until they say so!

When it comes to living her life, Wakana Uehara puts her full effort into everything that she wants to do. But lately she’s become interested in eating all of the rare delicacies she can find in the world. Things like crocodile feet, camel meat, tuna bone marrow or what she’s most interested in at the moment… wasp lava. She heard that wasp lava is soft, incredibly creamy and has a rich nuttiness that tastes great when cooked with rice. They can also taste like shrimp when deep fried and sprinkled with salt. When Uehara challenged Suzume for the International Princess Title, Suzume later made a tweet referencing The Very Hungry Caterpillar. Uehara promises to devour Suzume so much she will get a stomach ache but just like in The Very Hungry Caterpillar she will then turn into a beautiful butterfly in the end. Suzume joked that she’s been called delicious before because her outfits are bee and honey themed but this is the first time someone is threatening to fry her crispy. But she is too big to be eaten and her strong point is how she can beat opponents who are bigger than her.

Hardcore I Quit Match, Mataro Trying To Escape Retirement, Up Town In Super Japan

June 16, 2026

DDT “THAT’S RIGHT! LET’S GO TO BEER GARDEN PRO WRESTLING 2026”, 17/06/2026
Tokyo Ueno Park Outdoor Stage

1. Takeshi Masada & Daichi Sato Vs Tomomitsu Matsunaga & Masami Inahata

4. Daisuke Sasaki, Hideki Okatani & Ilusion Vs Yuki Ishida, Rukiya & Hinata Kasai
5. Special Single Match: Shunma Katsumata Vs Junta Miyawaki
6. Falls Count Anywhere 4 Way Tag Match: Chris Brookes & HARASHIMA Vs Yuki Ueno & To-y Vs Sanshiro Takagi & Jun Akiyama Vs MAO & KANON (w/ KIMIHIRO)

Tomorrow’s Beer Garden show is going to end in chaos with the Falls Count Anywhere match being placed in the main event.

DDT “OWARI WARS 2026”, 21/06/2026
Aichi Chunichi Hall & Conference

1. Akito Vs Hinata Kasai
2. Jun Akiyama & Rukiya Vs Naomi Yoshimura & Masami Inahata
3. Special Tag Match: Shunma Katsumata & Kumadori Vs Yuni & Yuki Ishida
4. Special 10-Man Tag Match: MAO, KANON, Yuki Iino, Yukio Naya & Viento Levante Vs Toru Owashi, Danshoku Dieno, Super Sasadango Machine, Kazuki Hirata & Antonio Honda
5. KO-D 6-Man Tag Team Titles: Takeshi Masada, Yuya Koroku & Daichi Sato (c) Vs Daisuke Sasaki, MJ Paul & Ilusion
6. KO-D Tag Team Titles: Chris Brookes & HARASHIMA (c) Vs Yuki Ueno & To-y
7. DDT Extreme Title – Hardcore I Quit Match: Hideki Okatani (c) Vs Junta Miyawaki

A Hardcore I Quit Match is the stipulation chosen by Hideki Okatani for the DDT Extreme Title bout. He chose the rule because he wants to make Junta Miyawaki quit right in front of him. Making the opponent say “I quit” or something similar like “I surrender” will end the match. If a situation occurs where the wrestler becomes too injured to speak, the referee is allowed to end the match by TKO.

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “TJPW SPRING TOUR 2026 ~NEXT DOOR~ FINAL”, 27/06/2026
Tokyo Ryogoku KFC Hall

1. Arisu Endo & Shion Kanzaki Vs Toga & Uta Takami
2. Yuki Aino & Haru Kazashiro Vs HIMAWARI & Kira Summer
3. Raku & Pom Harajuku Vs Mahiro Kiryu & Mifu Ashida
4. Yuki Kamifuku & Sakura Hattori Vs YuuRI & Chika Nanase
5. Mizuki Vs Ren Konatsu
6. Yuki Arai, Miu Watanabe, Rika Tatsumi & Suzume Vs Miyu Yamashita, Shoko Nakajima, Hyper Misao & Wakana Uehara

YuuRI is popping by Tokyo Joshi Pro again, this time to team up with Chika Nanase instead of fighting her.

DDT “DDT X GRAND HAMMER STREET WRESTLING SHOWDOWN AT SHIMBASHI BUSHO YOKOCHO”, 27/06/2026
Tokyo Grand Hammer

1. Falls Count Anywhere Tag Match: Danshoku Dieno & Kazuki Hirata Vs Shunma Katsumata & Yuni
2. Falls Count Anywhere 6-Man Tag Match: Takeshi Masada, Yuya Koroku & Daichi Sato Vs Yukio Naya, Yuki Ishida & Masami Inahata
3. Falls Count Anywhere Special 3 Way 6-Man Tag Match: Yuki Ueno, Minoru Suzuki & To-y Vs Chris Brookes, HARASHIMA & Antonio Honda Vs MAO, KANON & Viento Levante (w/ KIMIHIRO)

Three street wrestling matches are planned to take place including one with Minoru Suzuki teaming up with The 37KAMIINA.

DDT “CHARISMANIA IV”, 02/07/2026
Shinjuku FACE

1. Special Single Match: MJ Paul Vs Ryunosuke Nagai
2. Fake Brahman Army Vs Mataro Army All-Out Confrontation: Fake Brahman Yuki, Fake Brahman Yuki & Fake Brahman Yuki Vs Trans-Am ★ Hiroshi, Takayuki Ueki & Takeshi Masada (w/ Mataro)
3. Special Tag Match: Minoru Fujita & Ilusion Vs Ayato Ishida & Gabai Ji-chan
4. O-40 Title – 3 Way Match: Daisuke Sasaki (c) Vs Shuji Ishikawa Vs Keisuke Ishii

As if having the illustrious O-40 Title being defended on the show isn’t enough, we’re getting a major 6-Man Tag Match with super important stakes being applied to it. Mataro is the luckless member of DDT’s video team that constantly gets dragged into a DAMNATION T.A match whenever Daisuke Sasaki gets to put together a show. Mataro ended up having to wrestle in some of these matches and then retire from wrestling due to losing a stipulation. Now he is getting the opportunity to cancel that retirement because if his team can beat the Fake Brahman Brothers (think of all the DDT wrestlers named Yuki and you can guess who they are) he gets to return to wrestling again!

SUPER JAPAN “BEER GARDEN PRO WRESTLING”, 06/07/2026
Shinjuku FACE

1. Unpaid Rumble RETURNS!: X Vs X
2. Special Single Match: MBM Vs Miles Karu
3. Thanomsak Toba Vs Mac Matsushita
4. Special Tag Match: Kuroshio TOKYO Japan & Saito Vs Gym Trainer Kotoka & Marika Kobashi
5. Special Single Match: Ken Ohka Vs Hayabusa
6. Special Single Match: Yuji Nagata Vs CIMA

I haven’t been paying attention to Up Town but Kuroshio TOKYO Japan has been quietly building up a neat little roster for himself over there. When he launched the promotion he said he wanted it to be like a small ramen shop that attracts a long line and that just sounds like a lovely place to carve out for himself in the wrestling world. Saito is one of the new wrestlers to debut from Up Town and she is making her Super Japan debut here. Despite having less than a year of experience she is actually pretty active thanks to working on Ice Ribbon and WAVE shows in between Up Town events.

The match between Thanomsak Toba and Mac Matsuhita will be held under the rounds system with five rounds lasting three minutes each being the plan.

Some international action on the undercard with MBM from Belgium taking on Miles Karu from Malaysia.
