9. Princess Tag Team Titles: Yuka Sakazaki & Mizuki (c) Vs Rika Tatsumi & Miu Watanabe
10. Princess Of Princess Title: Miyu Yamashita (c) Vs Shoko Nakajima
During the week Tokyo Joshi Pro held another press conference to promote “GRAND PRINCESS ’22” featuring the wrestlers involved from four of the matches on the card. For Miyu Yamashita and Shoko Nakajima they will be headlining Sumo Hall, the same venue where they both had their official debuts in a dark match back in 2013. Nakajima always thought of Yamashita as the strongest wall in TJPW and a bigger kaiju than she is. No matter how many times Nakajima won against her, Yamashita would easily overturn her setbacks and go back to the top. But if Nakajima can win the Princess Of Princess Title from her in the main event of Sumo Hall, she can finally believe she has surpassed her. It is her best chance and maybe her last chance to become a bigger kaiju than Yamashita. The champion has dreamed of TJPW reaching Sumo Hall since her debut and thinks it will all be meaningless if she cannot beat her strongest challenger. She also thinks they will show everyone the future of Tokyo Joshi and beyond.
Miu Watanabe calls The Magical Sugar Rabbits her biggest obstacles given how often she has lost to them. She feels the confidence she lacked against them finally came to her when Daydream won the Max Heart Tournament. With Rika Tatsumi by her side she believes she can now break through any wall and win. Tatsumi thinks they can be even better champions now than they were during their first reign. She understands that Mizuki will hate her if she takes away the Princess Tag Team Titles from MagiRabi but she doesn’t care about that anymore. Tatsumi is prepared to be hated by Mizuki in order to become a champion again! Mizuki told her not to worry about that because MagiRabi won’t lose. Instead they will have a match that will make all of Mizuki’s fans smile. Yuka Sakazaki realizes that her friends and the supporters have brought TJPW to Ryogoku. She wants to defend the Tag Titles so they can shine even more and bring everyone a into a happy, sparkling world!
The words Maki Itoh spoke to Yuki Arai last May after Arai’s debut is what brought her to this point. Back then Itoh challenged Arai to crush her no matter how long it will take. It hasn’t even been a year but Arai thinks the time is now right for her to do that and win the International Princess Title! However she just wants to crush Itoh while Itoh wants to crush every superstar around the world! Arai has been watching her tapes and Itoh admits her opponent has the size advantage but experience wise, Itoh is confident she can deal with whatever Arai throws at her.
When the debuting Juria Nagano began training for TJPW, she was moved to tears after discovering the deep bonds the entire roster has with each other. Everyone does their best to raise each other’s spirits. She has been training in karate since she was 5 years old and looks forward to teaming with Moka Miyamoto because they are linked by traditional karate. Miyamoto promised to do her best to help Nagano win her debut match. Suzume is happy to spend precious time with Nagano and crush her with all her love. Arisu Endo believes there is no way the match won’t be exciting and Arisuzu will win.
I’ll have a full preview of the show written up next week.

9. Princess Tag Team Titles: Yuka Sakazaki & Mizuki (c) Vs Rika Tatsumi & Miu Watanabe
10. Princess Of Princess Title: Miyu Yamashita (c) Vs Shoko Nakajima
A press conference was held between the wrestlers participating in the inter-promotional match between Tokyo Joshi Pro and Ganbare☆Pro. Both Nao Kakuta and Yuna Manase want their teams to put on an exciting match fitting for Sumo Hall. It is the first time Kakuta really feels like she is part of TJPW and she wants to show Manase she is not the same person she was back in Actwres girl’Z. The other members of Team TJPW shared their thoughts. Mahiro Kiryu is keeping her eyes open at the rest of Team Ganpro because she doesn’t know much about them. She does like mahjong though so she wants to win with a high score. Haruna Neko wants to do everything she can as a cat and will scratch everyone. Kaya Toribami admits to being the least experienced girl on the team but reminds everyone that her mask is based on the most ferocious bird in the world, the cassowary. She will learn from her opponents to become strong and deserving of wearing the mask.
The members of Ganbare☆Joshi then spoke. YuuRI is glad to wrestle in Sumo Hall where she discovered pro wrestling in the first place. HARUKAZE described how Ganpro picked her up and gave her friends so the company is an important family to her. She wants to make the name of Ganpro known to everyone. Moeka Haruhi called Manase the Sun of Ganpro while she is the Rainbow. When Manase challenged TJPW in the first place, everyone in Ganjo decided to join her. Just don’t miss the rainbow while you’re busy looking at the sun. Manase wanted her team to show more energy so they started chanting “Ganjo!” over and over. Kakuta told them the blue flame is hotter than the red flame which is why Team TJPW are staying calm in response to them. Manase then gave a passionate rant about wanting their match to have so much heat behind it. The conference ended with a fist bump between the team captains.
Two special guest ring announcers will be at the show. The “Anime Idol Chick” Minami Momochi was Tokyo Joshi’s ring announcer for the first four years of the promotion. Kero Tanaka is the famous ring announcer from the 1980s and 1990s who has worked with TJPW before at some of their previous Ittenyon shows. They will each announce one or two matches on the day.

Tokyo Ryogoku Kokugikan
0. Dark Match: Yusuke Okada, Yuya Koroku & Ilusion Vs Toui Kojima, Yuki Ishida & El Unicorn
0. Dark Match – Time Admission Tag Battle Royal: Tomohiko Hashimoto & Seiya Morohashi Vs Soma Takao & Shota Vs Minoru Fujita & MJ Paul Vs Yuji Hino & Yukio Naya Vs Gorgeous Matsuno & Gota Ihashi Vs Andreza Giant Panda & Super Sasadango Machine

3. Special Tag Match: Isami Kodaka & Yukio Sakaguchi Vs Yuki Ueno & Shunma Katsumata
4. Special Single Match: Saki Akai Vs Maya Yukihi

8. DDT Universal Title – Hardcore 3 Way Match: Daisuke Sasaki (c) Vs Jun Kasai Vs MAO
9. KO-D Openweight Title – Japan Bakery Marketing Presents: Konosuke Takeshita (c) Vs Tetsuya Endo
Yesterday the celebrity couple of LiLiCo & Ryohei Odai were hard at work training with Akito for LiLiCo’s retirement match. Odai isn’t in shape and had trouble even stretching during the warmups. He then got back pain from running the ropes. Meanwhile LiLiCo had no trouble training for wrestling again and worked out how to move around the ring without putting stress on her injured knees. Akito then put together some double team moves with LiLiCo before setting up an extreme training exercise. He stripped down to his O-back and went into the Hell Gate position on the corner. He explained they need to get used to having their faces thrown into another person’s ass because that is what Pheromones like to do. Suddenly Pheromones themselves appeared and attacked Akito, stripping him naked! Odai couldn’t help because of his back pain and he collapsed with LiLiCo when they tried the double team attack they learned. Pheromones left after a confrontation with LiLiCo where they said they will see her at Sumo Hall. Akito told Odai to train his hips more while LiLiCo promised to win using the love between a husband and wife!
GANBARE☆PRO “FIFTH ELEMENT 2022”, 26/03/2022
Shin-Kiba 1st RING
1. Ganjo Special 6-Woman Tag Match: Yuna Manase, HARUKAZE & YuuRI Vs Moeka Haruhi, Maya Yukihi & Ann Cham
2. ROMANCE DAWN Vs Wrestle Drunkers: Shota & Soma Takao Vs Keisuke Ishii & Tyson Maeguchi
3. Spirit Of Ganbare World Openweight Title: Tatsuhito Takaiwa (c) Vs Shinichiro Tominaga
The so-called strongest amateur pro wrestler in Japan Shinichiro Tominaga is the one who is challenging Tatsuhito Takaiwa next. Takaiwa is trying to raise the Spirit Of Ganbare World Title‘s prestige up to the highest level in Japan and fighting somebody on the level on Tominaga will not help him. However he sees potential in the guy and if Tominaga can live up to that potential it may not be a waste of time after all.
The bond between Keisuke Ishii & Tyson Maeguchi has grown stronger after they fought each other. They want to continue wrestling together as tag partners and opponents so it looks like Wrestle Drunkers are here to stay!
Irie is booked for the show but it will depend on how quickly he recovers from covid. Nobuhiro Shimatani is also advertised to appear.

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “TOKYO JOSHI 2022 WINTER”, 05/03/2022
Tokyo Ryogoku KFC Hall
1. Nao Kakuta & Kaya Toribami Vs Mahiro Kiryu & Haruna Neko
2. 3 Way Match: Hyper Misao Vs Yuki Aino Vs Arisu Endo
3. Yuki Kamifuku & Hikari Noa Vs Raku & Pom Harajuku
4. Nodoka Tenma Vs Marika Kobashi
5. Miyu Yamashita, Yuka Sakazaki, Mizuki, Maki Itoh & Suzume Vs Shoko Nakajima, Rika Tatsumi, Miu Watanabe, Yuki Arai & Moka Miyamoto
Tomorrow is kind of the go home show for “GRAND PRINCESS ’22”. There is also a fan club show happening on Sunday but that is usually just fun and games rather than anything serious. Not like Shoko Nakajima is going to beat Miyu Yamashita into a bloody mess to get some last minute heat on that show or anything like that.
DDT “JUDGEMENT 2022 TOUR IN OSAKA”, 13/03/2022
Osaka Suminoe Maikon Hall
1. Special 6-Man Tag Match: Kazusada Higuchi, Yukio Sakaguchi & Kazuki Hirata Vs Yuji Hino, Bodyguard & Yukio Naya
2. Osaka Specialty Special Single Match: Naomi Yoshimura Vs Chris Brookes
3. Maikon no Kohara Presents Special Survival Tag Match: Konosuke Takeshita, Yuki Ueno, Shunma Katsumata & Toui Kojima Vs Tetsuya Endo, Jun Akiyama, Yusuke Okada & Yuya Koroku
Hey, hey, hey, the Survival Tag Match is supposed to be Ganbare☆Pro’s gimmick! It’s a rule that works so well now DDT are giving it a go for The 37KAMIINA Vs BURNING. The stipulation is both teams have four wrestlers and two are chosen to take part in a regular tag team match. When a wrestler is beaten, they are eliminated and get replaced with the next in line. When a team is reduced to one wrestler left they lose because they do not have enough members to do a tag match. So the first team to get three eliminations win. Over the top rope elimination rules are enforced too for this match.
One KO-D Tag Team Champion down, one to go. Chris Brookes has already beaten HARASHIMA so now he is taking on Naomi Yoshimura. You can bet Masahiro Takanashi will get involved again.
Kazuki Hirata returns from covid and has to make up for lost time preparing for his match against Jun Akiyama later this month. Throwing him in there against three heavyweights should move him along nicely. At least he has Eruption backing him up.
DDT “KOMINATO RAILWAY TRAIN PRO WRESTLING”, 02/04/2022
Kominato Railway Goi Station
Back in 2017 DDT held a pro wrestling match inside a moving train travelling from Nakanomachi to Ogawa. They are going to do it again this time partnering with Kominato Railway in Chiba. There will be three matches taking place on the day. One will be held inside a moving train leaving the Goi Station with 32 fans in attendance. The destination is Yoro Valley Station where a wrestling ring is set up for two more matches to begin there minutes after arrival.
Right now only Hiroshi Yamato is advertised to be involved with the DDT wrestlers to be announced. There is obviously fans hoping to see the train lover Raku be able to take part. However Tokyo Joshi Pro has a show going on in Ryogoku KFC Hall that same day at the same time so we have to wait and see where she can go.
TOKYO JOSHI PRO “TJPW INSPIRATION”, 10/04/2022
Shin-Kiba 1st RING
1. Miyu Yamashita Vs Kaya Toribami
2. Yuka Sakazaki Vs Moka Miyamoto
3. Rika Tatsumi Vs Suzume
4. Marika Kobashi & Abdullah Kobayashi Vs SAKI & Antonio Honda
It’s a dream come true for Marika Kobashi! No seriously, it is. Abdullah Kobayashi is her favourite wrestler and part inspiration for her own ring name (The “Ko” in Kobashi refers to Kobayashi). SAKI returns to TJPW for the occasion but I don’t know if she has the same level of admiration for Antonio Honda.
BASARA “BASARA 188 ~GLITTER~”, 12/04/2022
Shin-Kiba 1st RING
Isami Kodaka is getting surgery on his jaw soon and will be out of action during most of April, including the monthly Shin-Kiba 1st RING show. He fractured the left side of his jaw back in 2018 wrestling a cage match against Masashi Takeda. The surgery here is to remove the material that was used to aid with recovery, which I guess is stuff like a plate and screws. His first match back in BASARA after the surgery is scheduled to be on 28th April.

5. Road To Judgement 2022! Captain’s Fall Elimination 6-Man Tag Match: Konosuke Takeshita (C), Yuki Ueno & Shunma Katsumata Vs Tetsuya Endo (C), Jun Akiyama & Yusuke Okada
Nothing like a Captain’s Fall Tag match to really spice up a rivalry between units. The match has elimination rules but will end once either captain is pinned or submitted. There is no over the top rope rule in effect for this match. Tag Team Elimination matches in Japan usually include that rule.
Yuya Koroku has recovered from covid and is cleared to return.
TOKYO JOSHI PRO “TOKYO JOSHI 2022 WINTER”, 05/03/2022
Tokyo Ryogoku KFC Hall
1. Nao Kakuta & Kaya Toribami Vs Mahiro Kiryu & Haruna Neko

4. Nodoka Tenma Vs Marika Kobashi
5. Miyu Yamashita, Yuka Sakazaki, Mizuki, Maki Itoh & Suzume Vs Shoko Nakajima, Rika Tatsumi, Miu Watanabe, Yuki Arai & Moka Miyamoto
Champions and challengers for Sumo Hall are on opposite sides of the main event. Suzume and Moka Miyamoto are added in for fun too.
Since both Nodoka Tenma and Marika Kobashi are leaving soon it’s only fair to pit them against each other and find out who is better once and for all.
GANBARE☆PRO “MERCURY RISING 2022”, 06/03/2022
Tokyo Itabashi Green Hall
1. Ganpro Mixed Tag Match: Ken Ohka & Moeka Haruhi Vs Yumehito Imanari & HARUKAZE
2. Tiger & Tiger Vs Power Of Nobu: Shuichiro Katsumura & Mizuki Watase Vs Kouki Iwasaki & Nobuhiro Shimatani
3. Japan Ganbare Union To Become AAAW Tag Team Champions: Yuna Manase & YuuRI Vs Cherry & Sayaka
4. Special Single Match – Wrestle Drunker Vs Punch Drunker: Keisuke Ishii Vs Tyson Maeguchi
5. Takaiwa Army Vs Ganpro Full-Scale Battle: Tatsuhito Takaiwa, 5th Black Tiger & Kenya Maeda Vs Shota, Soma Takao & Shinichiro Tominaga
Right now there is no challenger for Spirit Of Ganbare World Title so Tatsuhito Takaiwa is putting himself out there for anyone to challenge him. Maybe somebody from ROMANCE DAWN will step up? Shinichiro Tominaga is there too looking to bounce back from his defeat at the recent Korakuen Hall show.
Yuna Manase & YuuRI have entered a tag league in Marvelous for the vacant AAAW Tag Team Titles. Their team name is Nippon Ganbare Union and they are getting a warm-up bout a day after their first block match takes place.
The “Real Tiger Mask” and “Tenori Tiger” are joining forces which is why Shuichiro Katsumura & Mizuki Watase are called Tiger & Tiger. Their opponents Kouki Iwasaki & Nobuhiro Shimatani combine the “Power Of Dreams” with “Nobu” to become Power Of Nobu.
TOKYO JOSHI PRO “GRAND PRINCESS ’22”, 19/03/2022

9. Princess Tag Team Titles: Yuka Sakazaki & Mizuki (c) Vs Rika Tatsumi & Miu Watanabe
10. Princess Of Princess Title: Miyu Yamashita (c) Vs Shoko Nakajima
Both Tokyo Joshi Pro and DDT announced their full cards for Ryogoku weekend. An almost complete NEO Biishiki-gun reunion has been added but what would Sakisama make of Ram Kaichow when they meet in the ring? The Bakuretsu Sisters are not the only tag team fighting each other because Yuki Kamifuku and Asuka are having a match too. Nao Kakuta and Yuna Manase have gathered together wrestlers from their respective promotions for a big TJPW Vs Ganbare☆Pro tag match. Finally Juria Nagano gets to debut by teaming with another karate fighter, Moka Miyamoto. She will be put to the test against Arisuzu.

8. DDT Universal Title – Hardcore 3 Way Match: Daisuke Sasaki (c) Vs Jun Kasai Vs MAO
9. KO-D Openweight Title – Japan Bakery Marketing Presents: Konosuke Takeshita (c) Vs Tetsuya Endo
DDT has eleven matches in total for their big anniversary event. DISASTER BOX regained the KO-D Tag Team Titles that they gave up but CDK believes that they should be the champions instead because they are more dramatic and dreamy.
Eruption has a busy day in the building. Saki Akai’s match with Maya Yukihi is turning into a bigger grudge every time they are in the ring together. Kazusada Higuchi & Hideki Okatani were chosen to be the opponents for Jun Akiyama & Takao Omori. That would leave Yukio Sakaguchi on his own but he was invited by Isami Kodaka to team up and take on Yuki Ueno & Shunma Katsumata.
A Tag Team Battle Royal featuring names from the past, present and future of DDT is part of the pre-show. One past team to keep an eye on in the match is Double Bridge. That is the name given to the pair of former KO-D Tag Champions Tomohiko Hashimoto & Seiya Morohashi. They held the titles together all the way back in 2003.

New challengers have emerged for the KO-D 6-Man Tag Team Titles although the match won’t be for another month. DAMNATION T.A want the belts but I’m not sure if they know what they are getting into when Pheromones are the champions.

It’s the final showdown between The Magical Sugar Rabbits and The Bakuretsu Sisters!
Miyu Yamashita and Maki Itoh are both cleared and back in action. Yamashita gets to team with Marika Kobashi again, although I think their original team name JK Strikers is a bit out of date at this point. Itoh teams with Yuki Kamifuku, showing that they are still friends after their International Princess Title match earlier this month.

The final block matches for the Ultimate Tag League tell two different stories. In the A Block BURNING only needs a tie to advance to the final. However if The 37KAMIINA beats them, then Konosuke Takeshita & Yuki Ueno advance because of the head to head rule. DISASTER BOX versus Pheromones needs to have a winner otherwise the B Block can get complicated. A time limit draw leads to a restart because the teams get one point each and tie in first without a head to head tiebreaker. Real chaos can happen if the match ends in a Double DQ, Double Countout or No Contest because no points are awarded to anyone. That can possibly create a 3 Way or 4 Way tie with DAMNATION T.A and whoever wins between ShunMao and CDK. Normally we do not have to worry about that scenario happening but Pheromones are involved. Their entire thing is ruining matches without caring about winning or losing. They can now ruin the entire tournament if they want to!
Unfortunately two more wrestlers have been pulled from the show. Toui Kojima tested positive for covid while Antonio Honda has been under poor physical condition. In Honda’s case he tested negative so he might just be feeling ill this week. The dark matches have been changed with their removal alongside Toru Owashi and Soma Takao getting bumped up to the opening match with Shuji Kondo and Kazusada Higuchi.

Tokyo Sumida Sports Health Center Pool
1. 5 Way Tag Match: Yuka Sakazaki & Mizuki Vs Rika Tatsumi & Miu Watanabe Vs Hyper Misao & Nodoka Tenma Vs Hikari Noa & Yuki Arai Vs Marika Kobashi & Raku
Pro wrestling matches at swimming pools have been done before by DDT. Now it is Tokyo Joshi Pro’s turn to try it out. The match has already been recorded and will be shown for the first time on WRESTLE UNIVERSE this Monday, so for now I’m using the broadcast date for the match record. Five teams will be against each other but some special rules will be included so it may not be just one match with every team all against each other at once.
TOKYO JOSHI PRO “GRAND PRINCESS ’22”, 19/03/2022

6. Princess Tag Team Titles: Yuka Sakazaki & Mizuki (c) Vs Rika Tatsumi & Miu Watanabe
7. Princess Of Princess Title: Miyu Yamashita (c) Vs Shoko Nakajima
Nodoka Tenma and Yuki Aino will have their first and only singles match against each other at Sumo Hall. A match between The Bakuretsu Sisters was often pitched over the years but Aino never liked the idea. Tenma wants the match to finally happen because she will be graduating from wrestling soon. This time Aino agree to the match because Tenma helped make her who she is today.
Getting a match against the crazy company president should be top of the list of things Hyper Misao would like to do. However she wasn’t happy to find out she will be fighting Sanshiro Takagi. He’s become too old and boring for her wacky ideas. Takagi warned her that he is just as crazy in the ring as he always was so she better be ready to eat her words!
Juria Nagano seems to be training with Yuka Sakazaki and Mizuki if her latest TikTok is anything to go by.
The complete match line-up will be revealed tomorrow. The show will have ten matches in total.

5. Yuka Sakazaki, Mizuki & Arisu Endo Vs Rika Tatsumi, Miu Watanabe & Nao Kakuta
A card has been put up by Tokyo Joshi Pro the evening before their show takes place. Hopefully there are no last minute covid cases that will change things. It’s another preview battle between The Magical Sugar Rabbits and Daydream with Arisu Endo and Nao Kakuta added to the mix.
TJPW are teasing that Shoko Nakajima and The Bakuretsu Sisters will be teaming together for the last time tomorrow. But they are being coy by including a “(?)” in the website headline. Nodoka Tenma has a little over a month left before her retirement and there’s only half a dozen TJPW shows during that period. That’s not many matches left for her to do.

6. Ultimate Tag League 2022 – Final: Winners Of Block A Vs Winners Of Block B
It’s been confirmed that Hideki Okatani has tested positive for covid. Since both he and Kazuki Hirata will be absent from the Ultimate Tag League finale, DDT decided that the Eruption Vs Hirata & Shuji Kondo tag match is forfeited by both teams and no points will be awarded to either side. Both teams were already out of the running so it has no effect on A Block’s standings. A changed lineup for the show, presumably to give Kazusada Higuchi and Shuji Kondo something to do, will be announced as soon as it is decided.

-. Yuji Hino & Yukio Naya (4)
4. Kazusada Higuchi & Hideki Okatani (2)
5. Shuji Kondo & Kazuki Hirata (0)
Here’s the updates for DDT that caused the show above to change more matches. The PCR results for Konosuke Takeshita came back negative. However the illness he does have was diagnosed as a stomach bug and he is not fit to compete on Wednesday. Toui Kojima also tested negative but is still showing flu symptoms so he is off the show too.
Hideki Okatani is identified as a close contact so he cannot be at the show either. That means Eruption must forfeit their Ultimate Tag League match against Yuji Hino & Yukio Naya and eliminates them from the running for 1st place in their block. Okatani is expected to be back for the Tag League finale this Sunday if he doesn’t test positive before then. The lesson here boys and girls is do not run a tournament during a pandemic.

Tokyo Itabashi Green Hall
1. Special Single Match – Wrestle Drunker Vs Punch Drunker: Keisuke Ishii Vs Tyson Maeguchi
The spirit Tyson Maeguchi shows in the ring has caught Keisuke Ishii’s attention. Maeguchi’s switch from kickboxing to pro wrestling has not brought much success so far, at least that is how it looks whenever he is in Ganpro. He still has a lot to learn and puro nerd Ishii might be the mentor he is looking for.

A good chunk of the DDT roster got hit with covid related problems right before tomorrow’s show in Chiba. Yuya Koroku tested positive and Hideki Okatani was a close contact to him so both of them are off the show. Also Konosuke Takeshita is currently ill and waiting for the results of his PCR test. If he does test positive then Shunma Katsumata will be at risk as his possible close contact. So both of them are off tomorrow’s show as a precaution. A lot of the undercard has been changed around because of this.

Rika Tatsumi, Nodoka Tenma and Raku were all identified as possible close contacts. They have to miss tomorrow’s show but will be back on 23rd February should they test negative and show no symptoms.
Some good news for tomorrow is Hikari Noa being cleared for return. She teams up with Nao Kakuta as Free WiFi again.

The two teams that got forfeit wins in the Ultimate Tag League now face each other. This is also DAMNATION T.A’s last match in their group. If Pheromones win then they might be able to qualify for the final with one match still in hand.
It was confirmed by DDT earlier today that Chris Brookes had tested positive for covid while he was out with a fever. However he has since recovered and is expected to be back at this Sunday’s show in Chiba.

In the A Block Eruption needs to win to have any chance of reaching a tiebreaker. Even then their odds aren’t good. Yuji Hino & Yukio Naya just want to end their run with a win as proof that Naya has gotten stronger.

The Saki Akai Vs Maya Yukihi rivalry is getting even more dangerous with the additions of Yukio Sakaguchi and Sanshiro Takagi. If the boss of DDT and CyberFight decides to team with you then take the hint Yukihi!
Lingling, the current reigning and defending Iron Man Heavymetalweight Champion will be at the show. She will be there even if she loses the title to someone else beforehand.

6. DDT Universal Title – Hardcore 3 Way Match: Daisuke Sasaki (c) Vs Jun Kasai Vs MAO
7. KO-D Openweight Title: Konosuke Takeshita (c) Vs Tetsuya Endo
When Jun Kasai came back to DDT last week, he was looking for an opponent that could excite him. In the end he thinks Daisuke Sasaki is the only one who can do that. They had a Hardcore Match in Saitama Super Arena five years ago that Sasaki won. Kasai thinks it is time for a rematch. There is one problem though. MAO has pestered Sasaki non-stop to get the next shot at the DDT Universal Title and the champion finally agreed to it. The solution is to have all three fight each other at the same time!
Jun Akiyama is celebrating his 30th anniversary in wrestling this year. To celebrate, he is reuniting Burning Wild with Takao Omori for a special tag match. DDT contacted All Japan and got their permission to make this match happen. Their opponents have not been chosen yet.

1. Jun Akiyama Vs Kazuki Hirata
2. DDT Extreme Title: Yuki “Sexy” Iino (c) Vs Shunma Katsumata
The DDT Extreme Title now belongs to Yuki Iino. Who knows what perverted match ideas he and Pheromones will come up with. All we know is he really wants Shunma Katsumata to be his first challenger. Katsumata reluctantly accepts the match. He is also getting suspicious that the GM Hisaya Imabayashi is secretly the mastermind of Pheromones because he never really punishes them for their “public executions” even when he is often the victim.
That’s not all Akiyama has planned for March. He fought Kazuki Hirata in the Ultimate Tag League and is convinced Hirata wants to fight him one on one. Things couldn’t be any further from the truth. Hirata is intimidated as hell by that idea. Too bad for him because the match is going to happen anyway!
