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

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

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

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

Something fishy is going on with the latest additions to the DDT Vs New Japan show. Both Yuki Ueno and Aaron Wolf will be there but as guests for an autograph session rather than participants in the five match series. I mean what are the chances that something will happen during the show that will draw both wrestlers into the ring for some action?

DDT “YOKOHAMA NIGHT SPLASH 2026”, 13/06/2026
Yokohama Radiant Hall

1. Ilusion Vs Kazuki Hirata
2. Special 6-Man Tag Match: Daisuke Sasaki, Hideki Okatani & MJ Paul Vs Junta Miyawaki, KANON & Yuki Ishida
3. Special 3 Way 6-Man Tag Match: Takeshi Masada, Yuya Koroku & Daichi Sato Vs Yuki Ueni, Naomi Yoshimura & Rukiya Vs Danshoku Dieno, Kazuki Hirata & Akito

There will be some time for Hideki Okatani and Junta Miyawaki to wrestle each other before they fight for the DDT Extreme Title next month.

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

1. Special Single Match: Yuya Koroku Vs Kazuki Hirata
2. Special Single Match: Shunma Katsumata Vs Junta Miyawaki
3. 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)

DDT are expecting the appearance of Jun Akiyama on a Beer Garden show to result in more chaos than usual.

DDT “LET’S GO! BEER GARDEN PRO WRESTLING 2026”, 18/06/2026
Tokyo Ueno Park Outdoor Stage

1. Yuki Ueno Vs Hinata Kasai
2. Crocodile Death Match BEYOND: Daisuke Sasaki, Hideki Okatani & Ilusion Vs MAO, Yukio Naya & Viento Maligno (w/ KIMIHIRO)
3. Ring Removal Death Match: HARASHIMA, Danshoku Dieno & Kazuki Hirata Vs Shunma Katsumata, Yuni & Kazuma Sumi

Okay so whenever Michinoku Pro does their Great Space War what usually happens is the ring gets deconstructed as the match progresses. There’s also been a couple of times when Big Japan have done a death match where the ring is stripped bare of all its padding so the ring is pretty much close to dismantled anyway. I think this is going to be the first time DDT is trying out the gimmick for a match and it’s going to be during a time when a lot people will be drunk. What could go wrong?

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

1. Unpaid Rumble RETURNS!: X Vs X
2. Special Single Match: Ken Ohka Vs Hayabusa
3. Special Single Match: Yuji Nagata Vs CIMA

Welcome to 2026 where a Japanese company can book a rematch from a virtually unknown WCW bout that was held in Oakland 29 years ago. CIMA got to team up with Yuji Nagata at the last Super Japan show so now he wants to face him one on one for the first time since they met in WCW almost three decades ago.

The goal of Ken Ohka ever since he launched Ganbare☆Pro was to do his part in turning pro wrestling into a major sport. That includes livening up the wrestling scene whatever way he can. He currently thinks a lot of the other indies are not doing the same so he threw out a challenge to Hayabusa from ZERO1 to help create a spark.


SUPER JAPAN “A PRO WRESTLING SHOW WITHOUT A NAME” Results

May 27, 2026

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

1. Shota defeated Miles Karu with the Frog Splash (7:23).
2. Special Single Match: Pero Pero Oyakata defeated Da Pump Matsumoto with the Ultimate Pero Pero Driver (7:58).
3. Marika Kobashi & Matsuzawa-san defeated Non Toraga & Riara when Kobashi pinned Riara with the Sliding Guillotine (9:56).
4. Ken Ohka & Mac Matsushita defeated Thanomsak Toba & Hyo Ogawa when Ohka pinned Ogawa with the Spear Of Flame (9:21).
5. Special Tag Match: Satoshi Kojima & Ippanjin Munenori Sawa defeated Brahman Shu & Brahman Kei when Kojima pinned Kei with the Lariat (14:07).
6. Special Tag Match: “Blue Hebi Justice” Yuji Jagata & CIMA defeated Sanshiro Takagi & Poison Sawada JULIE when CIMA pinned Takagi with the Meteora (12:16).

On the day when New Japan changed ownership and created a shift in power across the pro wrestling scene, Super Japan went ahead and held their latest show with Yuji Nagata getting caught up in DDT hijinks. At the start of the show Nagata joined Sanshiro Takagi and advisor Masayuki Uchida to celebrate the fan voted continuation of Super Japan with a toast of energy drinks. However when they all drank it, Poison Sawada JULIE came out and revealed he swapped out Nagata’s drink with an extract of snake magic! Nagata collapsed in the ring and was taken back to the locker room to get help while Takagi suddenly wrapped up Uchida in tape and kidnapped him under JULIE’s orders!

It was all going according to plan for JULIE. He formed a new alliance with Takagi after being enemies with him in DDT for years and now had Nagata under his control. CIMA had to fight all three of them by himself in the main event with Nagata having fully transformed into a Snake Magic version called “Blue Hebi Justice” Yuji Jagata. Uchida was able to free himself backstage and used a mirror to reflect a spell back at JULIE. He also fed Nagata an antitode that gradually returned him back to normal. Nagata used the powers of his Salute pose to fight off JULIE’s magic while CIMA pinned Takagi with the Meteora to win the match. CIMA then brought up the match he had with Nagata in WCW 29 years ago. He was only 19 years old and 2 months into his career back then. He was dominated into defeat and has wanted a rematch ever since so he challenged Nagata to a singles match on 6th July! Nagata said he has no reason to refuse so he will give CIMA his all at the next Super Japan show.

In a moment that came and went in a blink of an eye, Kota Ibushi was seen standing at the entrance way waiting for Takagi after the main event. He reached out to Takagi and helped him walk to the back. Ibushi has not been seen on a DDT related event since his falling out with the company back in October 2024.

Having a pro wrestling career that spans across 35 years means you get to see a lot of different things happen. Satoshi Kojima used that sort of knowledge to help him fight off The Brahman Brothers. It helped that Munenori Sawa sacrificed himself by jumping in the way of an Ink Mist spot. By that point Kojima knew the plan was to fight as if he was a Brahman Brother himself. He suddenly started spewing out orange ink and used it to blind his opponents before beating them with the Lariat. Sawa was impressed to see first hand how Kojima can handle anything that gets thrown his way. Kojima though said he has no memory of what happened during the match. The Brahman Brothers were also amazed by Kojima and talked about wanting to team up with him next time just like they did with Nagata before.

Ken Ohka wants to do his bit to liven up Super Japan and came up with a big idea for a match to do on a future show. However neither Takagi nor Uchida were around after his match to hear about it. He had to wait until after the show to find Uchida and tell him he wanted to fight Hayabusa! Uchida agreed to book the match for 7th July.


DDT “EARLY SUMMER BEER GARDEN PRO WRESTLING 2026” Results

May 26, 2026

DDT “EARLY SUMMER BEER GARDEN PRO WRESTLING 2026”, 26/05/2026
Tokyo Ueno Park Outdoor Stage
??? Fans – Unannounced

1. Hideki Okatani & Ilusion defeated Yuya Koroku & Hinata Kasai when Ilusion pinned Kasai with the Swanton Bomb (9:37).
2. 5,000 Yen Allowance Limit Weapons Allowed Death Match: Kazuma Sumi & Yuki Ishida (w/ Ryota Nakatsu) defeated MAO & Kazuki Hirata when Sumi pinned Hirata with the School Boy (13:54).
3. Takeshi Masada & Daichi Sato defeated Antonio Honda & Junta Miyawaki when Masada pinned Honda with a Modified Oosui Suplex (10:45).
4. Special Single Match: HARASHIMA defeated Rukiya with the Somato (11:39).
5. Shunma Katsumata, To-y & Akito defeated KANON, Yukio Naya & Viento Maligno (w/ KIMIHIRO) when To-y pinned Maligno with the Running T・O・Y (11:58).
6. Special Rules Drunk Match: Danshoku Dieno & Yoshihiko defeated Yuki Ueno & Chris Brookes when Yoshihiko pinned Brookes after the Combined Gaydo Clutch (34:00).

Having a Beer Garden show means everybody goes there to get drunk, right? Not always. Yuki Ueno & Chris Brookes made a request for today’s main event to be a Drunk Rules match. However Danshoku Dieno is currently avoiding alcohol for his health and refused to be irresponsible about it. Hisaya Imabayashi agreed it would be a bad move for DDT to force one of their wrestlers to drink when they do not want to and came up with a compromise. A Drunk Match would go ahead for Ueno and Brookes but Dieno would be allowed to drink cola instead when prompted to. Yuki Ishida was also permitted to drink on Yoshihiko’s behalf. The wrestlers would have to drink after every kickout, rope break or if music suddenly played during the match. Dieno brought Yoshihiko up to the top of a ladder while everybody held it steady for their safety (a hot topic in puroresu this week due to the same actions happening at the Best Of The Super Jr.) until Brookes decided to topple Yoshihiko over. A brawl around the arena also resulted in Yoshihiko diving off of the top of the lighting rig. Dieno drinking cola instead of alcohol brought up an unintended consequence of needing to use the bathroom so he had to abandon his tag partner for a while. When he returned armed with toilet paper, Dieno had to fight off Ueno & Brookes on his own until Yoshihiko reappeared wrapped in empty beer cans and diving into the ring. Brookes tried to force Dieno to drink alcohol but Dieno used the Lip Lock to pass the drink over to Ueno. He then made Ueno and Brookes Lip Lock each other then attacked Brookes to make him spit out the beer. Dieno & Yoshihiko then applied a Double Gaydo Clutch on Brookes to win the match after over half an hour of mayhem. After the match Dieno showed regret and admitted he may start to hate DDT’s beer garden shows. However Ueno told everybody they can still enjoy the show without the need for beer, just make sure you don’t drink as much cola as you would alcohol. Dieno wasn’t convinced by Ueno’s drunk ramblings.

After HARASHIMA won his match, he announced to everyone that he and his wife recently welcomed their second child into the world.

For the 5,000 yen weapons match Kazuma Sumi & Yuki Ishida pooled together their money to hire Ryota Nakatsu as their weapon.


Prism Greed Homecoming, Uesaka’s Twilight Rouge

May 26, 2026

I thought I was going to have much more non-DDT news to catch up on but apparantly not. I’ll be travelling back home in the next few days but I’ll be all caught up so you probably won’t notice anything unusual, knock on wood.

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “TJPW SPRING TOUR 2026 ~NEXT DOOR~ IN OSAKA”, 30/05/2026
Osaka Azalea Taisho Hall

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

Azalea Taisho Hall holds a special place in the hearts of Yuki Aino & Haru Kazashiro because that venue is where their tag team Shunrai Rekka!! Prism Greed was first formed.

This will also be Shion Kanzaki’s first time wrestling in Osaka. Arisu Endo is her opponent for this milestone.

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

1. Twilight Rouge Presents 3 Way Tag Match: Shoko Nakajima & Hyper Misao Vs Raku & Pom Harajuku Vs HIMAWARI & Mifu Ashida
2. Yuki Aino, Ren Konatsu & Shion Kanzaki Vs Arisu Endo, Sakura Hattori & Kira Summer
3. Wakana Uehara Vs Toga
4. YuuRI Vs Chika Nanase
5. MIRAI Vs Haru Kazashiro
6. International Princess Title: Suzume (c) Vs Mahiro Kiryu
7. Princess Tag Team Titles: Miu Watanabe & Rika Tatsumi (c) Vs Mizuki & Uta Takami
8. Princess Of Princess Title: Yuki Arai (c) Vs Yuki Kamifuku

About time Chika Nanase gets a chance to prove herself on a bigger stage. YuuRI is stopping by Tokyo Joshi Pro to give her a match in Korakuen Hall.

TJPW already announced that Sumire Uesaka will be a special guest commentator on the show. Now we know the reason why. She is currently involved with running a vampire school themed café called Twilight Rouge and the café is going to be sponsoring the 3 Way Tag Match. The winning team will receive “1,000,000 R”, which is the gimmick currency used by the café (R meaning Rouge in this case). Uesaka along with several vampires from the café will present the prize to the winners after the match.

Uesaka is also currently the reigning Iron Man Heavymetalweight Champion and earlier this week she had to juggle that responsibility with her café gig. Antonio Honda barged into the café a couple of days ago intending to beat Uesaka for the belt. However Uesaka protected herself by using vampire magic to hypnotise Honda and make him enjoy a drink on the premises instead. Then Uesaka gave Honda a message to go and tell everyone: “The portal to Twilight Rouge leads straight to the Demon Realm!”


YUZUKI Joins SLC, The Monster Returns, Shinkansen Box Office Pass

May 26, 2026

DDT “EARLY SUMMER BEER GARDEN PRO WRESTLING 2026”, 26/05/2026
Tokyo Ueno Park Outdoor Stage

1. Hideki Okatani & Ilusion Vs Yuya Koroku & Hinata Kasai
2. 5,000 Yen Allowance Limit Weapons Allowed Death Match: MAO & Kazuki Hirata Vs Kazuma Sumi & Yuki Ishida

4. Special Single Match: HARASHIMA Vs Rukiya
5. KANON, Yukio Naya & Viento Maligno (w/ KIMIHIRO) Vs Shunma Katsumata, To-y & Akito
6. Special Tag Match: Yuki Ueno & Chris Brookes Vs Danshoku Dieno & Yoshihiko

Yesterday DDT announced that Masami Inahata’s back injury was diagnosed as a lumbar sprain and he will need more time off to recover. His return is now delayed until mid-June. Rukiya will replace Inahata as HARASHIMA’s opponent on the upcoming Beer Garden show. The match Rukiya was originally booked for has now removed MJ Paul to even out the teams.

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

0. Dark Match: Tomomitsu Matsunaga & Yuki Ishida Vs Rukiya & Hinata Kasai
1. Hideki Okatani, MJ Paul & Ilusion Vs Jun Akiyama, Naomi Yoshimura & Junta Miyawaki
2. FANTÔMES DRAMATIC Vs STRANGE LOVE CONNECTION!: Chris Brookes, HARASHIMA & Antonio Honda Vs KANON, Yukio Naya & Viento Maligno (w/ KIMIHIRO & YUZUKI)
3. Special Tag Match ~ Kaisei Takechi Return Match: Yuki Ueno & Kaisei Takechi Vs Kazuki Hirata & To-y
4. KO-D 6-Man Tag Team Titles: Takeshi Masada, Yuya Koroku & Daichi Sato (c) Vs Shunma Katsumata, Yuni & Kazuma Sumi
5. King Of DDT – Semi Final: Minoru Suzuki Vs Shinya Aoki
6. King Of DDT – Semi Final: MAO Vs Danshoku Dieno
7. King Of DDT – Final: X Vs X

A nice surprise added to the show is the return of Kaisei Takechi. He’s hasn’t wrestled in almost two months because of his appendicitis but will be back and ready to go this upcoming weekend.

Over the last few months the stage actress Yuzuki Hoshimoto has appeared at ringside to support Strange Love Connection as an acquaintance of both MAO and KANON. In some cases she even lends a helping hand when things got a bit too out of control. Well she recently asked KANON if she could join SLC as a proper member and her proposal was accepted. From now on whenever she appears in DDT she will go by the name of YUZUKI and it sounds like she will be put in a similar position as KIMIHIRO as a hype person for SLC’s entrances.

The match order has not been decided yet other than the main event and the dark match.

DDT “DDT MY LOVE 2026”, 03/06/2026
Shinjuku FACE

1. Junta Miyawaki Three Match Trial – Match 2: Junta Miyawaki Vs Kazuki Hirata
2. Yuki Ueno & Shunma Katsumata Vs Akito & Tomomitsu Matsunaga
3. Special 8-Man Tag Match: Chris Brookes, HARASHIMA, Antonio Honda & Hinata Kasai Vs Kazuma Sumi, To-y, Yuki Ishida & Rukiya

It hasn’t reached the point yet where D GENERATIONS are their own unit (paleyouth existing puts the kibosh on that happening for now) but there are times when they will all be on the same page to fight a common opponent. Getting to fight the entire FANTÔMES DRAMATIC foursome is an example.

DDT “DRAMATIC DREAM TAKASHIMAYA VOL. 4”, 06/06/2025
Tokyo Shinjuku Takashimaya 1st Floor JR Exit Special Venue

1. Shinjuku Takashimaya Half-Day Promotional Ambassador Time-Lag Entry Battle Royal: Kazuma Sumi Vs Junta Miyawaki Vs Yukio Naya Vs Kazuki Hirata Vs Yuni Vs Yuki Ishida Vs Rukiya Vs Hyper Misao Vs Yuki Kamifuku Vs Pokotan
2. paleyouth Vs FANTÔMES DRAMATIC!: Takeshi Masada, Yuya Koroku & Daichi Sato Vs Chris Brookes, HARASHIMA & Hinata Kasai
3. The 37KAMIINA Vs STRANGE LOVE CONNECTION!: Yuki Ueno, Shunma Katsumata & To-y Vs MAO, KANON & Viento Maligno (w/ KIMIHIRO)

I didn’t think the Takashimaya building in Shinjuku would want to be associated with wrestling again after the Sumire Uesaka incident back in March but they’re allowing DDT to hold their annual outdoor show in the area again. Not only is there a Battle Royal to determine who gets to be the stores ambassador for the rest of the day but Saki Akai will be there to interview a guest or guests to be announced.

DDT “DRAMATIC STYLE 2026”, 10/06/2026
Shinjuku FACE

1. Special 6-Man Tag Match: Takeshi Masada, Yuya Koroku & Daichi Sato Vs Shunma Katsumata, Kazuki Hirata & Kumadori
2. KO-D 10-Man Tag Team Titles: Daisuke Sasaki, Hideki Okatani, MJ Paul, Ilusion & Haruto Sakuraba Vs MAO, KANON, Yuki Iino, Yukio Naya & Viento Maligno

DAMNATION T.A needed to find someone to fill out their team in order to defend the KO-D 10-Man Tag Team Titles so they called in the big guns. “The Monster” Haruto Sakuraba last wrestled in DDT back at “WRESTLE PETER PAN 2025”. He won’t be officially recognised as champion due to the rules of the belt (it’s still Demus in that spot) but if SLC are able to beat a team with him in it then they deserve to become champions!

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

1. Iron Man Heavymetalweight Title – Time Delayed Entry Battle Royal: Sumire Uesaka (c) Vs X
2. Special Tag Match: Daisuke Sasaki & X Vs X & X
3. Dramatic Dream Match: Konosuke Takeshita Vs Kaisei Takechi

DDT have found a way to guarantee that the Iron Man Heavymetalweight Champion will show up at Sumo Hall this August. Whoever holds the title going into the show will be rewarded with a one year long Shinkansen Box Office pass. This pass will allow the holder to travel on the bullet train at no personal cost whenever DDT books them for one of their regional shows in a twelve month period that begins after the show. Right now Sumire Uesaka is the champion but she has some things lined up elsewhere that may put her in risk of losing the title. I’ll explain in the next post.

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

1. Zack Sabre Jr. & Chris Brookes defeated Hotdog De San Jose & Super P when Sabre submitted San Jose with a Manjigatame (?:??).
2. Main Ronn, Joya & Robienne Sane defeated Demonyitang Daniella Cavite, Crystal & Max Liwanag when Joya pinned Cavite with the Cutter (?:??).
3. Emman & “Mad Kat” Karina defeated Trainee Kenzo & Trainee Kiko when Emman pinned Kiko with the Styles Clash (?:??).
4. Jonathan Johnson defeated Munetatsu Nakamura with a Bridging Pin (?:??).
5. Jake De Leon & Shivam defeated Black Kat & Lifeguard Jack when De Leon pinned Black Kat with the Jumping Super Kick (?:??).

The lads from Baka Gaijin + Friends returned to Manila for a second time after having a successul Philippines debut last August. The main event spot was given to Real Global Threat so they could do something a little more light hearted than usual by fighting against a masked cat and a lifeguard. Disaster struck when Black Kat grabbed Bunbun from RGT and Suplexed him from the stage onto the mat. However Lifeguard Jack did his duty and revived Bunbun with CPR, allowing the show to continue without incident. Jake De Leon & Shivam then attacked Jack, grabbed a woman at ringside and lifted her over Jack so she would Foot Stomp him. Black Kat got the hot tag and fired himself up with catnip to fight off RGT by himself but Shivam put a stop to it by hitting Kat with Jack’s rescue can. De Leon then hit Kat with a Jumping Super Kick to pin him.

Munetatsu Nakamura and Jonathan Johnson fought their way into the crowd, holding each other in place for members of the audience to throw slaps at them. Nakamura tried to dive off of something but Johnson caught him in midair and carried him back to the mat area. Nakamura was able to pull off his dive later in the match but after some back and forth, Johnson outmaneuvered him and got the win using a backwards Bridging Cradle.

Two Dexcon trainees were given a match on the card, facing two wrestlers from Singapore named Emman & “Mad Kat” Karina. The rookie named Kenzo was taken out by Karina with a Spinning Neckbreaker. Karina then used a Falling DDT on Kiko to turn him upside down so Emman could grab him in the Styles Clash position. Karina got an extra kick in before Emman did the move to add insult to injury.

The SEA crew got to do Baka Gaijin their way with a trios match filled with wrestlers from the scene. Robin Sane showed up in a maid costume to wrestle the match as Robienne Sane. While Main Ronn and Max Liwanag were both fighting as the big guys of the match, Sane and Demonyitang Daniella Cavite found over who looked better in their outfits. Joya was there dressed as a superhero and was carried around by Ronn in order to do a flying attack to the opponents. Crystal was also dressed to impress in a suit but Cavite lost his temper and didn’t care that his wig flew off while he Power Bombed Sane. He was so busy yelling at the audience that he didn’t see Joya coming in from behind to give him the Cutter and win the match.

The SchadenTekkers are embarking on a mini-tour of Asia. They recently teamed up in Japan for DDT and got together for another match here. Zack Sabre Jr. is a vegan so he came into the match having a natural dislike towards Hotdog De San Jose. Meanwhile Super P had the most obvious size disadvantage ever when trying to fight Chris Brookes. She tried to make up for it by using her small frame to her advantage before setting up San Jose to finish the job. Unfortunately SchadenTekkers kept up the two-on-one battle plan long enough to wear down their opponents, ending with Sabre tapping out the hot dog while Brookes held a helpless Super P upside down. On the bright side, Brookes got along with P well enough that he joined in with her band to sing with them at some point during the day.

Shinjuku FACE
335 Fans – No Vacancy

1. Raku defeated Kira Summer with the Doctor Yellow (8:06).
2. Pom Harajuku defeated Mifu Ashida with the Pom de Justice (5:56).
3. Yuki Aino & Haru Kazashiro defeated Arisu Endo & Shion Kanzaki when Kazashiro pinned Kanzaki with the Fisherman Suplex (9:19).
4. Shoko Nakajima & Hyper Misao defeated HIMAWARI & Ren Konatsu when Nakajima pinned Konatsu with the Locomotion Northern Lights Suplex (12:07).
5. Miyu Yamashita & Sakura Hattori defeated Toga & Chika Nanase when Yamashita pinned Nanase with the Attitude Adjustment (11:21).
6. Yuki Kamifuku, Mizuki, Uta Takami & Mahiro Kiryu defeated Yuki Arai, Miu Watanabe, Rika Tatsumi & Suzume when Kiryu pinned Suzume with the Spinebuster (15:20).

The same Champions Vs Challengers main event is taking place twice during this period, the first happened today in Tokyo while the rematch will be held in Osaka next weekend. The challenger team won the first battle thanks to Mahiro Kiryu blocking Suzume’s Ring A Bell in order to pin her with the Spinebuster instead. She told Suzume after the match she will be coming to get the International Princess Title from her at Korakuen Hall next month! Yuki Kamifuku said it is fitting that she and Kiryu are the same age, went to the same college and are both fighting for championships on the same show. Kiryu isn’t used to closing out the show so she came up with an interaction for the audience to do. When she says the word “Apology” (“Moushiwake”) the fans all say “We are deeply sorry” (“Gozaimasen deshita”) back to her!

Backstage Suzume took the blame for her team losing and promised she will absolutely not lose in the rematch next week. Yuki Arai felt like she couldn’t do anything because of Kamifuku putting pressure on her the whole match. She also said the more that Kamifuku is polishing her visuals, the bigger the urge Arai gets to kick her!

Daydream got a little bit of revenge after the match by kidnapping Mizuki in the ring and abducting her back to the locker room. For that reason, Rika Tatsumi believes Daydream didn’t lose today because they will now go get something delicious to eat with Mizuki. However Uta Takami caught up to them armed with ice cream. She shoved the ice cream into Daydream’s mouths and rescued Mizuki from their clutches. As they ran off Tatsumi said Takami calls herself a vicious koala but isn’t scary at all. Miu Watanabe said they will get some payback in Osaka.

At the beginning of the show Arai and Kamifuku had a contract signing for their Princess Of Princess Title match happening on 7th June. Kamifuku talked about the amount of support she’s been getting for her first time fighting for this championship. In the past she would have complained about the attention but here she is feeling obligated to do her best for everybody who is rooting for her. Arai brought up the previous times she fought Kamifuku for the other titles and how she has beat her every time (Kamifuku at the end of the show blamed Kiryu for not winning the Princess Tag Team Titles match back then). They have similar fighting styles and Kamifuku tends to light a fire under Arai. The champion intends to unleash the full power of her boots to walk away with the victory yet again.
