A press conference was held at AbemaTowers in Shibuya today regarding the future wrestling career of Yuki Iino. It was announced that his contract with DDT is expiring on 3rd November and he will be transferring over to NOAH on a full time basis after that date. Iino has been wrestling for both promotions since May when he was revealed to be Manabu Soya’s mystery tag partner at a NOAH show. Since then the two have been teaming together as Jonetsu MAX and they have won both the Neo Global Tag League as well as the GHC Tag Team Titles. He has a handful of dates with DDT remaining throughout September and October that will take place in between the N1 Victory tournament that he is also entering over in NOAH that month. His final match as a DDT wrestler will be at “ULTIMATE PARTY 2026” in Sumo Hall on 3rd November. If he gets the chance to pick his opponent for that show his choice would be Yukio Naya, his tag partner from The Apex.
Iino was joined by Sanshiro Takagi and Naomichi Marufuji for the press conference. He said he’s been teaming with Soya with maximum passion these last few months and now wants to take a big leap forward towards doing more powerful pro wrestling as a heavyweight in NOAH. He is grateful towards Takagi for agreeing to his request and asks for the fans to continue giving their support. Takagi said that while DDT does have heavyweight wrestlers on their roster, he saw how hard Iino has been working to do something new in NOAH and wants to respect his wish to transfer between promotions. The process was easy to set up because DDT and NOAH are both under CyberFight ownership and Takagi thinks it is exciting news. He also opened up the door for Iino to someday wrestle in DDT again, but this time as a NOAH representative. Marufuji said he saw no reason to decline Iino’s request after talking to both him and Takagi. He has high expectations for Iino after seeing firsthand how serious he takes wrestling inside the ring and training outside of it. He hopes Iino will showcase what makes him different from the other NOAH wrestlers. Marufuji also joked that Iino has a body that is worth Chopping.
Iino has already told everyone in Strange Love Connection about his plan to leave DDT and join NOAH. Everyone there was happy for him and are encouraging him to do his best, especially Yukio Naya. Iino said he wants Naya to win the KO-D Openweight Title while he goes to win the GHC Heavyweight Title so both of them can be the top champions at the same time. He also said his most memorable time in DDT was teaming with Danshoku Dieno as part of Pheromones because it was his breakthrough gimmick. He never imagined he would do the things he did back then but it showed a lot of different sides to him (he can say that again). His one regret is never getting to win the KO-D Title so if he achieves the results he wants in NOAH, he may consider coming back to DDT and challenge for the championship again some day. Iino is also looking forward to locking up with Tetsuya Endo again in a NOAH ring.
DDT “DRAMATIC DREAM TAMAGAWA IN BOATRACE TAMAGAWA”, 02/09/2026 Tokyo BOAT RACE Tamagawa ??? Fans – Unannounced
1. Yukio Naya, Viento Levante & Soma Takao defeated Junta Miyawaki, Tomomitsu Matsunaga & Yuki Ishida when Naya pinned Matsunaga with The World’s Best Back Drop (7:02).
2. Takeshi Masada & Yuya Koroku defeated Danshoku Dieno & Kazuki Hirata when Masada pinned Hirata with a Big Boot (0:06).
2a. Rematch: Takeshi Masada & Yuya Koroku defeated Danshoku Dieno & Kazuki Hirata when Masada pinned Hirata with a Backslide Pin (3:16).
3. DAMNATION T.A Vs FANTÔMES DRAMATIC!: Daisuke Sasaki, Hideki Okatani, MJ Paul & Ilusion defeated Chris Brookes, HARASHIMA, Antonio Honda & Hinata Kasai when Okatani pinned Kasai with the Skewer-Style Claymore (9:54).
4. MAO & KANON defeated Naomi Yoshimura & Kazuma Sumi when MAO pinned Sumi with a Running Palm Strike (10:35).
5. Special 6-Man Tag Match: Yuki Ueno, Shunma Katsumata & To-y defeated Sanshiro Takagi, Jun Akiyama & Masami Inahata when To-y pinned Inahata with a Forward Rolling Cradle (8:36).
Some of the wrestlers were distracted during their matches because they wanted to gets their bets in for the boat races that were happening throughout the day. It caused some infighting to happen between Takeshi Masada and Yuya Koroku because Masada wanted to win his match as soon as possible so he could go bet some more. He immediately beat Kazuki Hirata but Koroku demanded a restart. Koroku then actually stopped Masada from trying to beat Hirata at every opportunity to the point where the two paleyouth wrestlers spent more time fighting each other than Hirata or Danshoku Dieno. Masada got his way in the end when he manipulated Koroku and Hirata to both get pushed into Dieno’s Hell Gate over the turnbuckles. Masada got to pin Hirata and then ran of with his money to go bet some more. Unfortunately at the end of the day none of the DDT wrestlers won any money on the bets they put on.
There is going to come a point where I have to rename this series TJPW Around The World because DDT is solely focusing on their domestic business right now while Tokyo Joshi Pro’s wings are well and truly spread by now. Konosuke Takeshita is the DDT link that keeps the current name remaining for now and I think it won’t last that way forever. TJPW’s international plan has returned to the stage where their wrestlers are winning, defending or challenging for other company’s championships. It’s a nice reminder that these women still have a lot to offer now that they’re no longer being needed for TJPW’s main event scene. As we approach the final months of the year we have another Dallas return to look forward to. What 2027 will have on offer is currently a mystery.

1. Miki Fortune & Zak Sabbath defeated Kira Summer & Havok when Fortune pinned Summer after a Double Stomp/Death Valley Driver Combo (?:??).
At the end of July we saw that Kira Summer was able to beat her sister Miki Fortune in a match that dragged the whole family into their drama. They faced off again a couple of days later in Riot City Wrestling this time in an intergender tag match. Fortune teamed up with her husband Zak Sabbath to beat Summer and her tag partner Havok. Victory came thanks to Sabbath spitting Mist into Havok’s face, leaving Summer helpless against the two-on-one disadvantage from that point onward.
AEW “COLLISION”, 26/08/2026 (Aired 29/08/2026) OVO Hydro, Glasgow, Scotland
1. Konosuke Takeshita defeated The Beast Mortos with the Raging Fire (10:18).
You know, a match between Takeshita and The Beast Mortos happening in the UK sounds like something that could have happened during the peak era of BritWres. Like during a Super Strong Style 16 weekend or something. Kyle Fletcher would have been nearby either way just like he was here. He attacked Takeshita after the match, hitting him with the AEW International Title and then laying him out with the Brainbuster.
EVE “EVE X THE WORLD 2”, 28/08/2026 Big Penny Social, London, England
1. EVE International Title: Miyu Yamashita (c) defeated Kay Lee Ray with the Skull Kick (26:03). *V1 for Miyu Yamashita.
London had a packed weekend to close out the month because of AEW’s return to Wembley. Miyu Yamashita had a big role to play on Friday night where she headlined an EVE show against a newly invigorated Kay Lee Ray. She successfully retained the EVE International Title after a hard fought match but things only got more chaotic from there. First, Kris Statlander walked out. She had won the EVE Title earlier in the show and made it known she wants a rematch with Yamashita. However she brushed past Ray to get into the ring, causing Ray to get back in and start a fight with her. Yamashita kept her nose out of their business and let them fight but then Marina Shafir suddenly got in the ring behind Yamashita and grabbed her in a choke hold to leave her laying!
SETUP “UNDER THE SAME MOON – PUMI 15TH ANNIVERSARY SHOW”, 29/08/2026 The Circus Studio, G Village, Bangkok, Thailand
1. SETUP All Asia Women’s Title: Shoko Nakajima defeated Matcha (c) with the Diving Senton (11:16). *Matcha fails in V6. Shoko Nakajima becomes the 5th SETUP All Asia Women’s Champion!
The Southeast Asian scene reached a milestone this year regarding the promoter and SETUP owner Pumi Boonyatud. He’s been part of the wrestling industry for 15 years now and put together a big show to celebrate the occasion. He was shown a video of messages from people around the Asian wrestling scene. The Japanese messages were from Hiroshi Tanahashi, Naomichi Marufuji, Sanshiro Takagi, Daisuke Sasaki, Momo Kohgo, Tetsuya Koda, Raku, Pom Harajuku, Emi Sakura and the ChocoPro roster. TJPW were invited to send over someone to challenge Matcha for the SETUP All Asia Women’s Title, a championship that’s been held by TJPW wrestlers in the past. The champion gave a pretty strong hint over who she wanted to face, telling TJPW to send someone “Big” to fight her. Needless to say, Shoko Nakajima became her next challenger and the Big Kaiju beat her to become the new All Asia Women’s Champion! Nakajima was almost beaten by Matcha’s Saito Suplex but she recovered and hit the Diving Senton for the title change.
AEW “ALL IN LONDON”, 30/08/2026 Wembley Stadium, London, England
1. AEW International Title – 3 Way Match: Kazuchika Okada defeated Kyle Fletcher (c) and Konosuke Takeshita when Okada pinned Fletcher with the Rainmaker (13:13). *Kyle Fletcher fails in V4. Kazuchika Okada becomes the 15th AEW International Champion!
Takeshita is now taking his turn as the third wheel in this feud with The Don Callis Family. The 3 Way Match told the story of Fletcher and Kazuchika Okada purposely getting in each other’s way to and become the crown jewel of the Family. Takeshita tried his best to take advantage while fighting clean (he refused to attack his opponents with a screwdriver when he had the chance) and did a sweet looking double cover from a German Suplex for a nearfall. However Fletcher dropped Takeshita with the Vertical Drop Brainbuster onto the turnbuckle only for Okada to take down Fletcher with the Rainmaker. Okada took a split second to consider pinning Takeshita before choosing to lay on top of Fletcher for the three count. That way he can say he pinned the champion to win back this title.
1. Yuki Kamifuku & Alexis Lee defeated Zara Zakher & Dark Sheik when Kamifuku pinned Sheik with the Diving Famouser (?:??).
The month ended with Yuki Kamifuku and friends travelling over to California where Kitsune put her front and centre in the marketing for their show. Alexis Lee went along to team with her (and Mei Suruga was there too) for a match against Zara Zakher & Dark Sheik. Lee helped make sure that the spotlight would remain shining on Kamiyu in the end. Kamifuku gave Sheik a big Superplex and Lee cut off Zakher with a Spear. Kamifuku later Dropkicked Sheik towards the corner where Lee gave her the Sister Abigail that left Sheik stunned. Kamifuku then scored the win by hitting the Diving Famouser. After the match a bunch of the wrestlers surrounded the ring to congratulate Kamifuku for her career.
1. Queen Of Asia Title – 3 Way Match: Ms. Selina (c) Vs Mizuki Vs Crystal
Is TJPW coming to take back a bunch of the Southeast Asian wrestling titles again? The All Asia Women’s Title belongs to TJPW again and there’s a chance that the Queen Of Asia Title that was long associated with Yuki Kamifuku could return too. Mizuki’s match over in Singapore Pro Wrestling next month is a 3 Way Match taking on Crystal and the current QOA Champ, Ms. Selina.

TJPW are planning to bring over at least 16 wrestlers from Japan over to America for this December’s tour of Texas. Ten of the wrestlers have been announced so far. They are Yuki Arai, Suzume, Miu Watanabe, Mizuki, Miyu Yamashita, Hyper Misao, Yuki Kamifuku, Pom Harajuku, Sakura Hattori and Wakana Uehara. Wrestlers from the local scene will also be part of the shows and they will be revealed over the coming months.

5. DAMNATION T.A Vs paleyouth!: Daisuke Sasaki, Hideki Okatani & Ilusion Vs Takeshi Masada, Yuya Koroku & Daichi Sato
6. Special 6-Man Tag Match: MAO, KANON & Viento Levante (w/ KIMIHIRO) Vs Yuki Ueno, To-y & Kaisei Takechi
Next weekend MAO is going home to Miyagi as the KO-D Openweight Champion for the first time! It feels like he’s made that promise several times over the years and now he finally gets to do it. Kaisei Takechi being in the match too might help draw more attention to the main event.
It’s been a while since The Apex had a tag team match without the rest of Strange Love Connection involved. Yuki Iino has a busy NOAH schedule coming up but he and Yukio Naya would be a good KO-D Tag Team Titles defence for Junta Miyawaki to try and achieve with Shinya Aoki somewhere down the line.

The next DDT match for Kumadori is here so it should also turn into a chaotic scramble for the Iron Man Heavymetalweight Title with all those people in the ring.
Takechi and paleyouth are going to be dealing with each other a lot more with both parties being involved in the revival of Muscle happening later this year.
DDT “YUKI UENO 10TH ANNIVERSARY SHOW -IN MY MIND “10”-”, 13/09/2026 Tokyo Korakuen Hall

7. Yuki Ueno 10th Anniversary Match ~ Special Single Match: Yuki Ueno Vs Shunma Katsumata
There are going to be two DDT shows happening at Korakuen Hall in September. The first is Yuki Ueno’s anniversary show. He’s added a Tag Team Rumble with a lot of mixed up teams in there. Also he figured the best place to put a crazy Falls Count Anywhere match between Minoru Suzuki, Sanshiro Takagi, Chris Brookes, Kuroshio TOKYO Japan and Takeshi Masada is in the pre-show. What is this, an AEW PPV?
DDT “DRAMATIC INFINITY 2026 ~AUTUMN OF PRO WRESTLING~”, 21/09/2026 Tokyo Korakuen Hall
1. KO-D 6-Man Tag Team Titles: KANON, Yukio Naya & Viento Levante (c) (w/ KIMIHIRO & YUZUKI) Vs Daisuke Sasaki, Hideki Okatani & Ilusion
2. DDT Universal Title: Ryusuke Taguchi (c) Vs Antonio Honda
3. KO-D Openweight Title: MAO (c) Vs Fuminori Abe
MAO is quick to use his KO-D Title reign as something he can settle past grudges with. He has noticed Fuminori Abe has been hanging around the DDT undercard for the last few weeks and he has unfinished business with him. Two years ago MAO and Abe feuded over the DDT Universal Title where the buildup revolved around Abe getting kicked so hard during a match that it made him throw up a little. There’s no worry about that happening again but Abe does consider MAO to be a rival among his generation, one that he must defeat!
The story between Ryusuke Taguchi and Antonio Honda is a little more personal. Taguchi’s son is a fan of Honda’s band so Honda promised to win the Universal Title and pose for a picture with the son! That doesn’t bother Taguchi too much because his son was never interested in taking a picture with his dad holding any of the championships he’s won in the past.
DDT “FACE FINAL ~GOODBYE TO SHINJUKU FACE! WITH GRATITUDE FOR 21 YEARS! THIS IS OUR SHINJUKU DRAMATIC DREAM!~”, 27/09/2026 Shinjuku FACE
1. DDT Extreme Title: Shunma Katsumata (c) Vs Ryota Nakatsu
Earlier this month Ryota Nakatsu beat Shunma Katsumata at BASARA’s Korakuen show. The rematch is going down at DDT’s final show to be held in Shinjuku FACE. Katsumata is also putting the DDT Extreme Title on the line to motivate him into finally surpassing his DNA rival.

1. 3 Way Tag Match: Raku & X Vs Pom Harajuku & X Vs Mahiro Kiryu & X
2. VENYU Finale: Yuki Kamifuku & VENY Vs X & X
3. Princess Tag Team Titles: Miu Watanabe & Rika Tatsumi (c) Vs Winners Of 05/09 Decision Match
4. Princess Of Princess Title: Yuki Arai (c) Vs Suzume
Mystery partners are being teased for a 3 Way Tag Match that’s been added to the show. Normally for a big show like this we would get Raku teaming with Ram Kaichow as wife and husband again, Pom Harajuku hanging out with Max The Impaler under the team name Pompaler and Mahiro Kiryu getting into lookalike shenanigans with Kakeru Sekiguchi. Surely it’s not going to be that predictable here, right?
DDT “LAST SUMMER STANDING ~SUMMER’S RECKONING~”, 30/08/2026 Tokyo Korakuen Hall ??? Fans – Unannounced
0. Dark Match: Naomi Yoshimura & Tomomitsu Matsunaga defeated Yuni & Yuki Ishida when Yoshimura pinned Ishida with the Harai-goshi (6:35).
1. Special 8-Man Tag Match: HARASHIMA, Yasu Urano, Akito & Soma Takao defeated Takeshi Masada, Yuya Koroku, Kazuma Sumi & Masami Inahata when Takao pinned Inahata with the Gin And Tonic (9:23).

3. 3 Way 6-Man Tag Match: Hideki Okatani, MJ Paul & Ilusion defeated KANON, Yukio Naya & Viento Levante (w/ KIMIHIRO & YUZUKI) and Chris Brookes, Antonio Honda & Hinata Kasai when Ilusion pinned Honda with the Chinga Tu Madre! (9:28). *Ilusion wins Antonio Honda’s Right To Challenge Anytime Anywhere Anytime Anywhere Gauntlet.
4. DDT Extreme Title & Iron Man Heavymetalweight Title ~ A One Time Trump Card -NO REPEAT RULE-: Shunma Katsumata (c/c) defeated Kumadori with a German Suplex (13:02). *V1 for the DDT Extreme Title. V1 for the Iron Man Heavymetalweight Title.
-. Iron Man Heavymetalweight Title: Kumadori defeated Shunma Katsumata (c) with an Inside Cradle (12:43 pm). *Kumadori becomes the 1,903rd champion.
5. KO-D Tag Team Titles: Shinya Aoki & Junta Miyawaki (c) defeated Danshoku Dieno & Kazuki Hirata when Miyawaki pinned Hirata with the Sunshine Clutch (10:47). *V1 for Shinya Aoki & Junta Miyawaki.
6. DDT Universal Title: Ryusuke Taguchi (c) defeated Daisuke Sasaki with the Cross Ankle Hold (14:18). *V1 for Ryusuke Taguchi.
7. KO-D Openweight Title: MAO (c) defeated Daichi Sato with the Cannonball 450° (23:27). *V2 for MAO.
Tomorrow could have been a wonderful 18th birthday for Daichi Sato if he had won today’s main event and become the youngest KO-D Openweight Champion in history. MAO had to nearly tear the ring apart to stop that from happening. When Sato kicked out of the Michinoku Driver and the Palm Strike, MAO took things a few steps further by pulling back the ring mat and removing the canvas so most of the boards were left exposed. The idea backfired and almost cost MAO the match when Sato gave him the Avalanche Fire Thunder onto the boards. MAO’s saving grace came when Sato decided to climb back up top to do the Mad Splash. It was blocked by MAO’s knees, opening up his chance to make a comeback. After a strike exchange MAO hit Sato with the Iai Kick followed by a Brainbuster onto the boards. He was then able to finish him off with the Cannonball 450° after all of that.
After the match MAO admitted he won using childish tactics but he lived up to his promise to give Sato a Summer vacation he would never forget. But since Sato is still in high school, he has some homework to finish. MAO told him to grow bigger and fight him again because Sato’s homework is to one day beat MAO no matter how long it takes him! Hisaya Imabayashi got into the ring to ask MAO who he wants to defend the KO-D Title against at Korkauen Hall on 21st September? MAO said there is one annoying person who has been hanging around DDT since last month’s Sumo Hall show and he wants to fight him again. Fuminori Abe walked down to the ring asking if MAO is talking about him? As someone who survives as a wrestler on the indies, Abe sees it as his goal to take down MAO. They have history with each other over the DDT Universal Title and now it will be reignited over the KO-D Championship!
The dance of DDT isn’t ending for Ryusuke Taguchi anytime soon. He remains the DDT Universal Champion after beating Daisuke Sasaki in a rematch that was 14 years in the making. Taguchi and Sasaki last had a singles match against each other in the 2012 Best Of The Super Jr. tournament. Plus they also had a match in the same tournament a year prior. Sasaki relied in MJ Paul & Ilusion to interfere early then tried to win by countout by hitting the Super Diving Elbow while Taguchi was seated in the front row. Taguchi made it back to the ring in time and used his wrestling knowledge to counter the Crossface Lock into the Angle Lock. Sasaki fought to reach for the ropes until Taguchi pulled him back and Elbow Dropped the back of his leg before applying another Ankle Hold. This time Sasaki couldn’t do anything about it and tapped out. Sasaki is now zero for four against Taguchi in singles matches but he unusually showed respect to him after the match by giving him a fist bump. Backstage he said he would even like to form a team with Taguchi so they can destroy DDT together!
Taguchi met with Akito after the match to learn who the next Universal Title challenger is going to be. It’s Antonio Honda and it turns out he’s closer to Taguchi than most people realise. Taguchi’s son is a student at the Tokyo College of Music and is also a fan of Honda’s band Daisetz, enough to become acquainted with Honda. According to Honda, when he beats Taguchi for the Universal Title he is going to take a picture of himself holding the belt with Taguchi’s son! Taguchi doesn’t appear to feel any insult over that because he already knows his son would rather pose for a picture with Honda instead of his father. But if Honda has a son then Taguchi will go take a picture with him for free if he wins on 21st September. This match is important enough for Taguchi to skip the New Japan show taking place in Hokkaido on the same day! Honda left the ring when the challenge was confirmed and Taguchi performed his dance with Kazuma Sumi to wind up his appearance for the show.
It looks like Shinya Aoki & Junta Miyawaki will be able to keep their promise to bring the KO-D Tag Team Titles to RIZIN next month. First they had to deal with Danshoku Dieno’s wrestling while Kazuki Hirata fought in a way that was more fired up than usual. Dieno’s Lip Locks did their damage to both champions and he felt the way to finish things was to go full Hell Gate leaning over the top rope. Aoki ended up going face first in there, incapacitating him. Hirata tried to capitalized by putting Miyawaki in the Miracle One Shot Cradle but Miyawaki kicked out of it and immediately countered with the Sunshine Clutch to pin Hirata while Dieno was too preoccupied to stop the three count. Now when Aoki fights Mikuru Asakura at RIZIN on 10th September, Miyawaki can carry the belts down to the ring for Aoki’s entrance!
Two championships were on the line when Shunma Katsumata fought Kumadori. Since one of the belts Katsumata held going into the match was the DDT Extreme Title that meant he could pick the match stipulation too. He chose a No Repeat Rule that prohibited wrestlers from using the same move twice (excluding strikes). Doing so would disqualify the wrestler and they also could lose by being knocked over the top rope out of the ring. Kumadori scored nearfalls with a Top Rope Frankensteiner and also the Air Double Helio. Katsumata kicked out of them and later found himself in a quandary when Kumadori kicked out of the Totonou Splash. He figured it out by using a German Suplex to win the match and retain his championship.
After the match Katsumata told Kumadori he’s been a part of DDT ever since he started wrestling so he is no longer considered as just a guest around here. Katsumata is certain he will be fighting with and against Kumadori more often in the future. He is looking forward to it and welcomes Kumadori as a member of the promotion. Kumadori shook his hand but then suddenly kicked him below the belt and pinned him with an Inside Cradle to win the Iron Man Heavymetalweight Title, the other belt that was on the line in the match that just happened! He ran off, leaving Katsumata to quickly change the subject towards his next Extreme Title defence. He wants a rematch with the BASARA wrestler Ryota Nakatsu, feeling the need to surpass his former rival from DNA. BASARA later responded to DDT telling them Nakatsu accepted the challenge. The match will happen at DDT’s final Shinjuku FACE show taking place on 27th September.
There is less than a month left to go for the remaining Right To Challenge Gauntlets to be cashed in. Chris Brookes still has the standard red Gauntlet in his posession but Honda lost the purple Anytime Anywhere Anytime Anywhere on this show to its original creator Ilusion. That happened during the 3 Way Trios match between Strange Love Connection, DAMNATION T.A and FANTÔMES DRAMATIC. MJ Paul fought off KANON while Hideki Okatani hit the Claymore on Yukio Naya. After that Hinata Kasai see-sawed off the ropes to throw a punch at Okatani then got a High Kick to the head from Viento Levante. Honda suffered a Shining Gongitsune misfire but still had his wits about to cradle Ilusion for a nearfall. Ilusion kicked out though and used a Cravate style elevated cradle to pin Honda and win the match. After the match Ilusion bragged about being the holder of all the KO-D 10-Man Tag Team Titles, the Sasadango Title belt and now the Right To Challenge AAAA Gauntlet. He warned the holder of the other Gauntlet that he is going to cash in whenever he wants and then on 21st September he’ll use that Gauntlet he wins to take some other loser’s championship! Meanwhile Okatani said SLC have made the KO-D 6-Man Tag Team Titles worthless and they should be thankful that DAMNATION T.A are challenging them for those belts.
Abe got all the preparation he needed to set up his KO-D Title challenge by teaming up with Jun Akiyama earlier on the card. His trusty Snap Punch hit the target that is Yuki Ueno’s face but giving a Penalty Kick to To-y made his opponent go wild and slap anybody who got close to him. Abe cut off the unusual comeback with a Knuckle Punch and had Akiyama nearby to give To-y a Running Knee Strike to halt any momentum To-y was building up. Abe then tangled To-y up in the Manjigatama and pulled him down to the mat to stretch him into submission.
A bunch of DDT veterans walked down memory lane as four members of Smile Squash reunited in the opening match. Soma Takao will be leaving DDT soon so this could be the last time he gets to team with HARASHIMA, Akito & Yasu Urano all at the same time. They fought at a disadvantage from the get go when the other team launched the first attack. Akito fought off Sumi while HARASHIMA went blow to blow with Takeshi Masada. Later Yuya Koroku led his team to all gang up on Takao with Masami Inahata giving him a Tilt-O-Whirl Slam for a nearfall. All of Smile Squash then came in to attack Inahata one after another ending with a Running Elbow Butt from Takao for a two count. After that Inahata was pretty much done and Takao finished him off with the Gin And Tonic. Backstage Akito told Takao that DDT will give him the best possible send-off that the promotion can offer him when he leaves in October. Takao appreciates it and joked he could still show up in DDT on his own as a freelancer after he leaves.
The pre-show match had Tomomitsu Matsunaga perhaps revealing a bit too much about where his priorities lie when he exclaimed jealousy towards Yuni for becoming a college student because he now gets to hang out with college girls. Yuni also assisted Yuki Ishida in trying to take down Naomi Yoshimura but in the end, Yoshimura threw down Ishida with the Harai-goshi to get the win for his team.
In the middle of the show Sanshiro Takagi came down to the ring and invited Super Sasadango Machine to come join him. He brought up that it’s been four years since the Muscle sub-brand ended. Sasadango’s project was key in developing DDT’s wrestlers into what they are today and the time has come for it to come back for the sake of improving D GENERATIONS as well as Kaisei Takechi. Sasadango understood and agreed to do a Muscle kind of show again as soon as DDT can set one up for him. It turns out they found an available date for Korakuen Hall open for 1st October so they can go book that. Imabayashi went into a panic thinking it would be impossible to pull off but Akito and Sasadango both think this next revival of Muscle can be successfully pulled off with only one month of notice.

3. Mifu Ashida defeated Shino Suzuki with the German Suplex (7:16).
4. Haru Kazashiro defeated Kira Summer with the Izayoi (8:20).
5. HIMAWARI & Toga defeated Uta Takami & Ren Konatsu when HIMAWARI submitted Konatsu with the Single Leg Crab Hold (13:37).
Today’s Tokyo Joshi Pro show exclusively featured wrestlers who debuted from 2023 onwards. For HIMAWARI & Toga it gave them some valuable preparation time as they aim to become No. 1 Contenders for the Princess Tag Team Titles. The main event went well for them. Toga grabbed Uta Takami in the Muffler Hold and HIMAWARI capitalised on Ren Konatsu missing the Aries Comet by making her give up to the Half Crab Hold. Toga talked about how happy she was to do this show because the young TJPW wrestlers got to work together to improve instead of trying to follow in the footsteps of their senpais. HIMAWARI promised that the young wrestlers will work even harder to make TJPW even more exciting.
Backstage HIMAWARI & Toga admitted to each other that they can’t really call themselves juniors anymore since they’re going to enter their fourth year as wrestlers soon. They’re ready for the upcoming No. 1 Contenders match and are counting on it being a 3 Way Tag to score themselves the upset victory. HIMAWARI has been in a lot of 3 Way matches and will use that experience to win. Toga pointed out they have each other to rely on as allies while 3 Way singles matches usually just have enemies.

6. DDT Universal Title: Ryusuke Taguchi (c) Vs Daisuke Sasaki
7. KO-D Openweight Title: MAO (c) Vs Daichi Sato
The stakes for the match between Shunma Katsumata and Kumadori have suddenly grown higher. Katsumata recently won the Iron Man Heavymetalweight Title so he now has to defend that belt alongside the DDT Extreme Title. He also decided on the match stipulation where he and Kumadori are not allowed to repeat their moves. The match can be won either under normal circumstances, by throwing your opponent over the top rope out of the ring or if they get disqualified for doing the same move twice. However striking moves are generic enough to not count towards the stipulation so Kumadori can at least rely on punching and kicking to make up for his limited moveset.
The Right To Challenge Gauntlet holders going into this weekend’s show are Chris Brookes (Red) and Antonio Honda (Purple AAAA).

DDT’s attempt at integrating the sober wrestlers into their Beer Garden show hit a bit of a setback. The KING OF “Non-Alcoholic” DRUNK match was put in the main event where the participants drank cola instead of beer whenever music was played. It was done this way because Daichi Sato and Yuni are not old enough to drink yet while Danshoku Dieno and Takeshi Masada had their own reasons not to spend the day drinking booze. The problem with this is everyone drank so much cola that they all felt too bloated to continue wrestling. All of the drunk wrestlers from the match before then entered the ring and got into an arguement, leading to an impromptu 8-Man Tag Match taking place between the beer drinkers and the cola drinkers.
During the match everyone forced each other to drink bottles of cola while they wrestled. The fighting moved out of the ring where Chris Brookes gave Dieno a cola filled Lip Lock before Piledriving him into a paddle pool full of water for the victory. Brookes has now won the Right To Challenge Anytime Anywhere Gauntlet but he was too drunk to figure out what to do. He knows MAO will be defending the KO-D Openweight Title against Sato soon but thinks Sato will win and then he can cash in the title shot on him. Something to also keep in mind is that Antonio Honda won the Right To Challenge Anytime Anywhere Anytime Anywhere Gauntlet from KANON earlier in the show. Both Gauntlets are active until 27th September.
The Crocodile Death Match again brought back bad memories for Daisuke Sasaki. There was a crocodile sighting that happened at Shakujii Park in Nerima back in 1993 and the incident seems to have scarred him for life. He couldn’t sleep last night and was too sleep deprived to wrestle so he was replaced in the match by Crocodile D Sasa. However as the match progressed Sasa was eventually stripped out of his costume and was revealed to be Daisuke Sasaki all along!
Junta Miyawaki was all business for his match because he is getting ready to defend the KO-D Tag Team Titles soon. After his match he sent a message out to Rukiya, telling him to get better so they can have their title match together as originally planned. He isn’t going to take his new opponents Dieno or Kazuki Hirata lightly because he is well aware of how important they both are to DDT. If they get serious then Miyawaki knows he and Shinya Aoki will not be getting an easy defence.
The show opening Rock ‘N’ Roll Death Match ended up with Shunma Katsumata and Kazuma Sumi doing some light Danshoku Dieno spots with To-y. Katsumata gave him a Lip Lock so Sumi could roll him over into a Gaydo Clutch for the pin. Then as the team celebrated their win, Katsumata gave Sumi the Lip Lock and then pinned him with the Gaydo Clutch to win the Iron Man Heavymetalweight Title.
There was a KO-D Title match contract signing for MAO and Daichi Sato before any of the matches began. Sato said he is not anxious or scared at all about the match. In fact, his anticipation and excitement grows as every day gets closer to 30th August. He is extremely confident he can beat MAO and become the youngest KO-D Champion ever. MAO wants his title reign to be free spirited so he isn’t going to talk down his challenger just because of his age. While Sato is having his last summer vacation as a high school student, MAO is having his last summer in his 20s so he wants this to be a summer neither will ever forget.

The Non-Alcoholic KING OF DRUNK match is going on last for the Beer Garden show? The game’s gone!
For the second time this year Daisuke Sasaki is having trouble sleeping because he’s been thinking about the crocodile incident that took place at Shakujii Park in Nerima back in 1993. He has pulled out of today’s show and DDT have decided to replace him with Crocodile D Sasa.

There is going to be a Princess Tag Team Titles match going on at “WRESTLE PRINCESS VII” next month but no clear contenders have emerged due to everybody focusing on the Tokyo Princess Cup. A 3 Way Tag has been put together to solve that problem. Two of the three teams are already established. That’s K!SS// and Shunrai Rekka!! Prism Greed. The third team are the wild cards of HIMAWARI & Toga, the two young wrestlers who both reached the Princess Cup semi finals this year.
Tokyo Joshi Pro is welcoming another Australian wrestler for a show and she’s already a “Lil” familiar with the brand. Marz is from Brisbane but has been wrestling around the world this year. That includes a tag match she had with Toga in Las Vegas during WrestleMania Week. She’s already in Japan and has been wrestling plenty for Ice Ribbon lately but this is going to be her TJPW debut.

As promised by Kaisei Takechi, he wants to wrestle more often on DDT shows that are held outside of Tokyo. He also needs to catch up if he wants to reach his goal of total matches wrestled in 2026.
A nice return to DDT is on the cards for Makoto Oishi so he can give Masami Inahata a test in the ring.

The rivalry between Viento Levante and Ilusion continues as they meet once again a few weeks before they fight for the KO-D 6-Man Tag Team Titles.
