When Inahata comes back from injury he will face HARASHIMA one on one. The two of them are currently the MOP Tag Team Champions but with no further DDT x MOP shows on the horizon those belts pretty much don’t exist anymore until they are needed again.

SUPER JAPAN “A PRO WRESTLING SHOW WITHOUT A NAME”, 27/05/2026
Tokyo Ueno Park Outdoor Stage

1. Special Single Match: Pero Pero Oyakata Vs Da Pump Matsumoto
2. Shota Vs Miles Karu

5. Special Tag Match: Satoshi Kojima & Ippanjin Munenori Sawa Vs Brahman Shu & Brahman Kei
6. Special Tag Match: Yuji Nagata & CIMA Vs Sanshiro Takagi & Poison Sawada JULIE

It’s a bit odd seeing that Matsuzawa-san is booked on this show without Makoto. Those two are normally attached to the hip since Matsuzawa-san is Makoto’s manager. She will be teaming with Marika Kobashi instead to face the P.P.P. Tokyo duo of Riara & Non Toraga.

Hyo Ogawa is from Pro Wrestling Up Town. He only started wrestling at the end of last year but has a strong background in athletics, particularly the hammer throw.

The visiting Miles Karu gets a booking here as well as part of his Japan tour.

Tokyo Korakuen Hall

1. International Princess Title: Suzume (c) Vs Mahiro Kiryu
2. Princess Tag Team Titles: Miu Watanabe & Rika Tatsumi (c) Vs Mizuki & Uta Takami
3. Princess Of Princess Title: Yuki Arai (c) Vs Yuki Kamifuku

Both MIRAI and Sumire Uesaka will be at the show. Uesaka’s costume that was inspired by Tiger Jeet Singh will be put on display at Korakuen Hall on the day of the show, including the mysterious saber that is the cause of the whole thing. The saber went missing after Uesaka won the Iron Man Heavymetalweight Title at “GRAND PRINCESS ’26” but it has since been found and been kept under tight security measures ever since to make sure it doesn’t go missing again.

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

The latest names added to the series are Akito for Team DDT and Tomoaki Honma for Team New Japan. The attempts by Super Sasadango Machine to get Danshoku Dieno on his side are still not working. Dieno is just doing so well in King Of DDT that he cannot lose focus now.

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

1. Unpaid Rumble RETURNS!: X Vs X

Super Japan is feeling a little more secure in its future so it is taking another one of DDT’s well tested ideas, the Beer Garden show. Along with that is the return of another Sanshiro Takagi project, the Unpaid Rumble! It is a match open to wrestlers of all shapes, sizes and backgrounds as long as they are willing to take part without being paid anything. Takagi is presenting this as maybe the last chance for some wrestlers to ever have a match inside Shinjuku FACE before it closes down later this year.

5. Special Single Match: HARASHIMA Vs Viento Maligno
6. Special Tag Match: MAO & KANON (w/ KIMIHIRO) Vs Danshoku Dieno & Kazuki Hirata

For the semi-main event HARASHIMA is going to face Viento Maligno in a singles match. I a certain this was put together for reasons that have absolutely nothing to do with Shinya Aoki or any acquaintance of his that is currently out of sight and out of mind.

Match #4 is going to be changed because of Inahata’s injury. That match will also be the Japanese debut of Miles Karu in DDT. He is a Malaysian wrestler who previously appeared in DDT on their “LOVE & PEACE” show that was held in his country last November.

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “TJPW SPRING TOUR 2026 ~NEXT DOOR~ IN SHINJUKU”, 22/05/2026
Shinjuku FACE

1. Yuki Arai, Miu Watanabe, Rika Tatsumi & Suzume Vs Yuki Kamifuku, Mizuki, Uta Takami & Mahiro Kiryu

Tokyo Joshi Pro are getting a little experimental for their usual champions versus challengers tag match. Since they have shows taking place in Tokyo and Osaka in the next couple of weeks they are booking the same match twice so fans on the west side of Japan and the east side can all go see it! Tokyo gets the match first.

Wakana Uehara will not be at the show due to a scheduling conflict.

BASARA “BASARA 307 ~KOO~”, 29/05/2026
Shinjuku FACE

1. Daiki Shimomura & Takeru Inoue Vs Lil’ Kraken & Fuminori Abe

Osaka Azalea Taisho Hall

1. Yuki Arai, Miu Watanabe, Rika Tatsumi & Suzume Vs Yuki Kamifuku, Mizuki, Uta Takami & Mahiro Kiryu

Osaka gets the rematch and Uehara will be there too.

DDT “KING OF DDT 2026 FINAL!!”, 31/05/2026
Tokyo Korakuen Hall

1. King Of DDT – Semi Final: Minoru Suzuki Vs Shinya Aoki
2. King Of DDT – Semi Final: MAO Vs Danshoku Dieno
3. King Of DDT – Final: X Vs X

With four wrestlers left in the King Of DDT, only one of them is a previous winner. That’s MAO and his next opponent Danshoku Dieno last made it to the final in 2012, losing to Kenny Omega. The semi final stage is now the furthest that Shinya Aoki has ever progressed to. Minoru Suzuki is one step away from equaling the likes of T-Hawk and Yuji Hino as outsiders who reached the final in their first tournament entry.

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

1. DDT Extreme Title: Hideki Okatani (c) Vs Junta Miyawaki
2. KO-D Tag Team Titles: Chris Brookes & HARASHIMA (c) Vs Yuki Ueno & To-y

The alleged future “Prince Of Nagoya” To-y wants to challenge for the KO-D Tag Team Titles and got the shot when he promised Yuki Ueno would be his tag partner. Chris Brookes is pretty confident that To-y won’t be able to beat him or HARASHIMA for the belts.

As part of Junta Miyawaki’s journey through DDT he wants to try and win the championship that bests represents DDT as a one of a kind company. That means he is going after the DDT Extreme Title. He also now has to prove to Hideki Okatani that he wants to be here and he wasn’t kicked out of NOAH.

6. King Of DDT – Round 2: Minoru Suzuki Vs Chris Brookes

Match #2 is changed slightly with Yuni now replacing Akito on one of the teams. Akito is too busy with his director duties tomorrow to be able to wrestle on the show.

Akito will have time to wrestle on Sunday though.

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “SHE KNOWS HER WAY ~SHINO SUZUKI HOMECOMING SHOW~”, 16/05/2026

BAKA GAIJIN + FRIENDS “VOL. 30: NEW MOON ON MONDAY”, 19/05/2026
Tokyo ARENA Shimokitazawa

1. Special Single Match: MAO Vs Anarko Montaña
2. BK-G Openweight Title: Mr. Bueno (c) Vs Baliyan Akki

The masked wrestler from Chile Anarko Montaña has been wrestling around the Japanese indies these past few months with ChocoPro being where he is most visible. He now comes to Baka Gaijin + Friends for the first time to face MAO.

Tokyo Ueno Park Outdoor Stage

1. Special Single Match: Pero Pero Oyakata Vs Da Pump Matsumoto
2. Special Tag Match: Satoshi Kojima & Ippanjin Munenori Sawa Vs Brahman Shu & Brahman Kei
3. Special Tag Match: Yuji Nagata & CIMA Vs Sanshiro Takagi & Poison Sawada JULIE

What’s the next unhinged thing that Sanshiro Takagi can do with Super Japan? I don’t know how about book Satoshi Kojima against The Brahman Brothers and Munenori Sawa is there too?

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “STAND ALONE ’26”, 07/06/2026
Tokyo Korakuen Hall

1. International Princess Title: Suzume (c) Vs Mahiro Kiryu
2. Princess Tag Team Titles: Miu Watanabe & Rika Tatsumi (c) Vs Mizuki & Uta Takami
3. Princess Of Princess Title: Yuki Arai (c) Vs Yuki Kamifuku

When you spend so much time around the Iron Man Heavymetalweight Title it messes up how you treat other championships. Mahiro Kiryu forgot how to challenge Suzume so she thought just rolling her up from behind would make her the new International Princess Champion. Apologies have since been given and they’ve made up to the point where Kiryu will get a proper title shot anyway.

DDT “WRESTLE PETER PAN 2026”, 11/08/2026
Tokyo Ryogoku Kokugikan

1. Special Tag Match: Daisuke Sasaki & X Vs X & X
2. Dramatic Dream Match: Konosuke Takeshita Vs Kaisei Takechi

A contest is being made for Daisuke Sasaki’s match at Sumo Hall. It will be a tag match where fans get to guess who his partner is and who their opponents will be. The reason for this is because the other participants in the match haven’t actually been decided on yet, let alone booked for the show.

DDT “DRAMATIC DREAMS! VOL. 13 ~MY SPIRIT GUARDS MY LORD IN THE EAST~”, 17/05/2026
Osaka City Sumiyoshi Community Center

0. Special Dark Match ~ Young Warrior Wrestling Summit: Takahiro Hirakimoto, Sora Fujikawa & Koki Fujimoto Vs Tetsuya Goto, Masaya Ishikawa & Hinata Kasai
1. Mixed Martial Arts Match – Irregular 2 Round System: Bushimasa Vs Tyson Maeguchi
2. Black Eagle In Danger! Against The Four Heavenly Kings Of DDT Comedy, 1 Vs 4 Handicap Match: Yuto Kikuchi Vs Danshoku Dieno, Kazuki Hirata, Antonio Honda & Trans-Am ★ Hiroshi

8. Special Tag Match ~ Encounter With A Wrestling Master: Dick Togo & Hideki Okatani Vs Shunma Katsumata & Kohei Kinoshita
9. Double Main Event I – Special Tag Match ~ Infinite Stimulation Anniversary: Zack Sabre Jr. & Chris Brookes Vs HARASHIMA & Shinya Aoki
10. Double Main Event II – Special Tag Match ~ A Ruthless Giant That Blocks The World Guide Us To Our Dreams Blooming Flower: KONOSUKE TAKESHITA & Yuki Ueno Vs Jun Akiyama & Shuji Ishikawa

Two more matches are added to Yukinori Matsui’s special show. They do normally tend to balloon out to this size.

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “STAND ALONE ’26”, 07/06/2026
Tokyo Korakuen Hall

1. Princess Tag Team Titles: Miu Watanabe & Rika Tatsumi (c) Vs Mizuki & Uta Takami
2. Princess Of Princess Title: Yuki Arai (c) Vs Yuki Kamifuku

It’s taken almost nine years for Yuki Kamifuku to challenge for the Princess Of Princess Title. It’s not because of a lack of merit or anything like that. She just doesn’t like taking part in important singles matches or cares that much about winning championships. But she’s not getting any younger and discovering her first signs of aging has kicked Kamifuku into finally fighting Yuki Arai for Tokyo Joshi Pro’s most important title. After all, winning wrestling championships is the greatest anti-aging technique you can find.

Daydream once again hold the Princess Tag Team Titles. Their first challengers are going to be the losing finalists from this year’s Max Heart Tournament. When Rika Tatsumi discovered that Mizuki found a new tag partner in Uta Takami, she wasn’t happy about it. She thinks beating them can bring that team to an end so she can keep Mizuki all to herself. Mizuki however wants to live in the present and continue her team with Takami. Maybe if they win the titles they can get an official tag team name. Miu Watanabe probably doesn’t have much of an opinion on the matter.

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

1. Sasadango-gun Vs Yano-gun: X Vs X
2. Sasadango-gun Vs Yano-gun: X Vs X
3. Sasadango-gun Vs Yano-gun: X Vs X
4. Sasadango-gun Vs Yano-gun: X Vs X
5. Sasadango-gun Vs Yano-gun: X Vs X

Sasadango-gun: Super Sasadango Machine, MAO, Kazuki Hirata

Yano-gun: Toru Yano, El Desperado, Ryusuke Taguchi

Both Kazuki Hirata and Ryusuke Taguchi have been drafted into the DDT Vs New Japan battle. Super Sasadango Machine is trying to recruit Danshoku Dieno for the show but Dieno keeps turning him down in order to focus on his King Of DDT run.

Now here’s an interesting thought. Konosuke Takeshita over the weekend decided to join the Hontai unit in NJPW. Since Sasadango is under the assumption that Toru Yano is only going to pick wrestlers from Hontai, does that mean there’s a possibility of Takeshita joining Yano’s team?

Chie Ozora is from PURE-J and is making her Ganbare☆Pro debut on this show. She’s faced Moeka Haruhi on PURE-J shows many times before but this will be the first time they’re wrestling together in Haruhi’s home promotion.

BASARA “TRANS-AM ★ HIROSHI GOLDEN 15TH ANNIVERSARY”, 15/05/2026
Shin-Kiba 1st RING

3. Minoru Fujita & Antonio Honda Vs Isami Kodaka & Takumi Tsukamoto
4. MEN’S Teioh, Tsutomu Oosugi & Banana Senga Vs Takato Nakano, Masato Kamino & Takeru Inoue
5. Trans-Am ★ Hiroshi Vs Ayumu Honda

The final match added to Trans-Am ★ Hiroshi’s 15th Anniversary show is a Reincarnation Rumble. It sounds like a Rumble match he’s booked before where all of the wrestlers enter the match as a different costume or gimmick from his past.

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “SHE KNOWS HER WAY ~SHINO SUZUKI HOMECOMING SHOW~”, 16/05/2026
Shizuoka Shimizu Marine Building

1. HIMAWARI & Shino Suzuki Vs Haru Kazashiro & Toga

For Shino Suzuki’s homecoming show the Bumping gRitters will be fighting in the main event! It is a clash of the 2023 Class when Suzuki & HIMAWARI take on Haru Kazashiro & Toga.

Both Shoko Nakajima and Yuki Kamifuku will not be at the show. They are instead booked for Aja Kong’s 40th Anniversary show taking place in Okinawa. Nakajima is in the opener while Kamifuku will be on the team opposing Kong in the main event!

BASARA “BASARA 307 ~KOO~”, 29/05/2026
Shinjuku FACE

1. FUMA Vs Seiya Morohashi
2. Iron Fist Tag Team Titles: Takato Nakano & Masato Kamino (c) Vs Minoru Fujita & Yasu Urano
3. Union MAX Title: Shuji Ishikawa (c) Vs SAGAT

SAGAT has become the first wrestler in BASARA to get a three count pin on Shuji Ishikawa. He’s now aiming to do it again to become the new Union MAX Champion.

Just when Aijin Tag felt like they have cleaned out BASARA’s tag division, Minoru Fujita & Yasu Urano have appeared and even stolen one of the Iron Fist Tag Team Title belts! It’s all so Fujita can promote his Fujita Pro Wrestling School project and he’s even thinking about renaming the tag titles under that brand if he and Urano properly win them.

What was supposed to be a Union Pro tribute tag team has fallen apart after FUMA and Seiya Morohashi failed to win the Iron Fist Tag Titles. They both blame each other for the loss so will settle their differences in the ring.

This show will be happening the day after Round 2 of the King Of DDT is over. So at the moment there’s not much to read into with the matches announced.

DDT “DRAMATIC DREAMS! VOL. 13 ~MY SPIRIT GUARDS MY LORD IN THE EAST~”, 17/05/2026
Osaka City Sumiyoshi Community Center

0. Special Dark Match ~ Young Warrior Wrestling Summit: Takahiro Hirakimoto, Sora Fujikawa & Koki Fujimoto Vs Tetsuya Goto, Masaya Ishikawa & Hinata Kasai

8. Double Main Event II – Special Tag Match ~ A Ruthless Giant That Blocks The World Guide Us To Our Dreams Blooming Flower: KONOSUKE TAKESHITA & Yuki Ueno Vs Jun Akiyama & Shuji Ishikawa

Just when I thought the card was finished, Yukinori Matsui pulls out a doozy. Konosuke Takeshita is unexpectedly coming back to DDT in May to team up with Yuki Ueno again. Their opponents are two heavyweights that Matsui decided should team together, Jun Akiyama & Shuji Ishikawa! Matsui tends to have “Double Main Events” on his shows and this year will continue that trend.

7. Spirit Of Ganbare World Openweight Title: Mizuki Watase (c) Vs Keisuke Ishii

Match #5 has become a little more interesting because it will be the first time Utami Hayashishita will wrestle since she announced she is going to leave Marigold next month. YuuRI doesn’t want that to get in the way of her own journey to carry the flag for Ganbare☆Joshi.

DDT “ECHIGO LARIAT”, 29/04/2026

1. Kazuma Sumi & Yuki Ishida Vs HARASHIMA & Hinata Kasai

5. Indian Poker Match: Miyu Yamashita Vs Shoko Nakajima Vs Hyper Misao Vs Yuki Aino
6. Costume Change Match: Yuki Arai, Mizuki, Yuki Kamifuku & Raku Vs Suzume, Pom Harajuku, HIMAWARI & Uta Takami

Tomorrow’s Tokyo Joshi Pro show is for their fan club and will be filled with different comedy matches. Everyone in the main event will be wrestling in another person’s costume. The international crew return to Japan all facing each other in a wrestling version of Blind Man’s Bluff. A Rumble match you would normally see on a “Premium Live Event” somewhere else has somehow ended up here. There will be a few other surprises in store. For example, Fumirin will be reading the pre-show announcements to everyone while speaking in a Kansai accent. There is also a secret musical segment scheduled for somewhere on the show.

DDT “KING OF DDT 2026 1ST ROUND”, 04/05/2026

7. King Of DDT – Round 1G: Hideki Okatani Vs Yuya Koroku
8. King Of DDT – Round 1H: MAO Vs Kazuma Sumi

A big change has already happened to the King Of DDT tournament with Kaisei Takechi having to pull out of the tournament. He is out of action with acute appendicitis so Kazuki Hirata is replacing him as Danshoku Dieno’s new Round 1 opponent. Hirata doesn’t think he can pull off a miracle this time but promises to try his best for everyone’s sake.

The match order has not been decided yet outside of the non-tournament bouts taking place on the pre-show.

DDT “DRAMATIC DREAM TAMAGAWA IN BOAT RACE TAMAGAWA”, 06/05/2026

6. Yuki Arai & Shino Suzuki Vs Yuki Kamifuku & Toga
7. Suzume, Arisu Endo & Mahiro Kiryu Vs Miu Watanabe, Rika Tatsumi & Ren Konatsu

Suzume is the hometown hero for this show so the main event involved Daisy Monkey and Daydream facing each other as part of a trios match.

DDT “DRAMATIC DREAMS! VOL. 13 ~MY SPIRIT GUARDS MY LORD IN THE EAST~”, 17/05/2026
Osaka City Sumiyoshi Community Center

0. Special Dark Match ~ Young Warrior Wrestling Summit: Takahiro Hirakimoto, Sora Fujikawa & Koki Fujimoto Vs Tetsuya Goto, Masaya Ishikawa & Hinata Kasai
1. Mixed Martial Arts Match – Irregular 2 Round System: Bushimasa Vs Tyson Maeguchi

7. Special Tag Match ~ Infinite Stimulation Anniversary: Zack Sabre Jr. & Chris Brookes Vs HARASHIMA & Shinya Aoki

Another match has been added to Yukinori Matsui’s Osaka extravaganza. Yuto Kikuchi is a late addition to the lineup but all that was left available were a bunch of DDT’s comedy wrestlers. So good luck Kikuchi, you have to deal with all of them by yourself!

SUPER JAPAN “A PRO WRESTLING SHOW WITHOUT A NAME”, 27/05/2026
Tokyo Ueno Park Outdoor Stage

1. Special Single Match: Pero Pero Oyakata Vs Da Pump Matsumoto
2. Special Tag Match: Yuji Nagata & CIMA Vs Sanshiro Takagi & Poison Sawada JULIE

The future of Super Japan is safe after its fans judged in favour of these shows continuing for the time being. Sanshiro Takagi is continuing to think up of alternate universe ideas regarding the early years of DDT. The latest is he now wants to team up with Poison Sawada JULIE after they’ve been enemies for years, decades even. Yuji Nagata is sticking around as the Super Japan ace and is even donating an event booking he had in his pocket to let this show take place in the same venue. He will team up with CIMA, forming “WCW’s Strongest Tag Team” for the occasion. Now that sounds like a WCW… Deep… Cut… in the making.

The newest match announced is straight out of N●tflix. It is the “Re●l American” Pero Pero Oyakata against “The Queen Of V●llains” Da Pump Matsumoto!

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

2. Sasadango-gun Vs Yano-gun: X Vs X
3. Sasadango-gun Vs Yano-gun: X Vs X
4. Sasadango-gun Vs Yano-gun: X Vs X
5. Sasadango-gun Vs Yano-gun: X Vs X

Sasadango-gun: Super Sasadango Machine, MAO

Yano-gun: Toru Yano, El Desperado

Both Super Sasadango Machine and Toru Yano have chosen the first members of their teams. Sasadango has picked MAO from DDT while Yano is taking El Desperado from New Japan. Sasadango believes he has the advantage because he does not belong to any specific group in DDT. He’s under the impression that Yano will only choose wrestlers from New Japan’s Hontai unit.

TJPW All Over The World This Weekend, Akki Gets BK-G Title Shot

April 23, 2026

I’m back home from Vegas and will aim to post the Around The World article about it over the weekend. I haven’t spent much time looking over what happened outside of the shows I went to.

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “TJPW SPRING TOUR 2026 ~NEXT DOOR~ IN SHINJUKU”, 24/04/2026
Shinjuku FACE

1. Raku, Pom Harajuku & Mifu Ashida Vs Mahiro Kiryu, HIMAWARI & Shino Suzuki

4. Mizuki & Uta Takami Vs Ren Konatsu & Shion Kanzaki
5. Rika Tatsumi & Miu Watanabe Vs Wakana Uehara & Toga
6. Yuki Arai & Haru Kazashiro Vs Suzume & Arisu Endo

The Tokyo Joshi Pro 1st gen have travelled over to Europe from America while the others have rejoined the rest of the roster back in Japan.

EVE/TOKYO JOSHI PRO “EVE X TJPW”, 25/04/2026
Big Penny Social, London, England

1. EVE International Title Next Contender Tournament – Round 1: Shoko Nakajima Vs Hollie Barlow
2. EVE International Title Next Contender Tournament – Round 1: Miyu Yamashita Vs Aliss Ink
3. Lucy Sky & Yuki Aino Vs Session Moth Martina & Emersyn Jane
4. Rhio Vs Hyper Misao
5. EVE International Title Next Contender Tournament – Final: X Vs X

All four TJPW wrestlers have their matches in EVE and SAJ accounted for. In EVE both Miyu Yamashita and Shoko Nakajima are entering a tournament while Yuki Aino is thrown into a tag match and Hyper Misao faces Rhio for the first time ever.

SAJ/TOKYO JOSHI PRO “SAJ X TJPW”, 26/04/2026
Centro Sport Cesate, Milan, Italy

1. Mirko Mori, Nico Inverardi & Adriano Vs Goro, Merak & Spencer
2. Yuki Aino Vs Irene
3. Shoko Nakajima Vs Kanji
4. Sebastian De Witt Vs Miyu Yamashita
5. SAJ & ASCA Tag Team Titles: Mike Bird & Crimi (c) Vs Rhio & Cory Zero
6. SAJ Openweight Title: Lupo (c) Vs Kouga

Over in Italy Aino’s match is against Irene, who is coming back to the ring after a brief absence.

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “YES! WONDERLAND ’26”, 04/05/2026
Tokyo Korakuen Hall

1. Ren Konatsu Vs Shion Kanzaki
2. YuuRI, Wakana Uehara & Kira Summer Vs HIMAWARI, Shino Suzuki & Chika Nanase
3. Mizuki, Mei Suruga & Uta Takami Vs Yuki Aino, Raku & Pom Harajuku
4. Aja Kong & Yuki Kamifuku Vs Kakeru Sekiguchi & Mahiro Kiryu
5. Ryo Mizunami Vs Toga
6. Miyu Yamashita & Sakura Hattori Vs Shoko Nakajima & Hyper Misao
7. International Princess Title: Suzume (c) Vs Haru Kazashiro
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.

BAKA GAIJIN + FRIENDS “VOL. 30: NEW MOON ON MONDAY”, 19/05/2026
Tokyo ARENA Shimokitazawa

1. BK-G Openweight Title: Mr. Bueno (c) Vs Baliyan Akki

One match is already booked for next month and it is Baliyan Akki challenging Mr. Bueno for the BK-G Openweight Title. It all seems so normal. Perhaps too normal.

BAKA GAIJIN + FRIENDS “MNL”, 23/05/2026
Sari Sari Makati, Makati, Philippines

1. Hotdog De San Jose & Super P Vs Zack Sabre Jr. & Chris Brookes

You want Baka Gaijin + Friends to get weird, here you go. Zack Sabre Jr. & Chris Brookes are teaming up again as SchadenTekkers to take on the Philippines team of Hotdog De San Jose (I assume that’s Nigel San Jose incognito) & Super P. I got to watch Super P wrestle at the Spark show last weekend. She’s always looking to make new friends.

After yesterday’s show Ilusion had symptoms of a concussion and is waiting for a diagnosis so DDT has pulled him off the next couple of shows for the time being. 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.

DDT “D GENERATIONS 9”, 20/05/2026
Tokyo Ueno Park Outdoor Stage

1. Ali Najima Vs Hinata Kasai
2. Hideki Okatani & Ilusion Vs Yuya Koroku & Yuki Ishida
3. Special Single Match: Kazuma Sumi Vs Yuni
4. Special Single Match: Masami Inahata Vs Rukiya
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.

After starting off his journey fighting against Antonio Honda, the next stage of DDT Junta Miyawaki must experience one on one is against Kazuki Hirata. His ultimate destination is going to be Danshoku Dieno, isn’t it?
