2. 10,000 Yen For A 3 Count Pinfall Against Hisaya Imabayashi: Hisaya Imabayashi defeated Takeshi Masada & Yuya Koroku and Danshoku Dieno & Akito when Imabayashi pinned Dieno with a Jackknife Pin (6:35).

5. DAMNATION T.A Vs STRANGE LOVE CONNECTION!: MAO, KANON & Viento Maligno (w/ KIMIHIRO) defeated Hideki Okatani, MJ Paul & Ilusion when KANON submitted Paul with the Just Cobra Twist (11:51).

7. DDT Universal Title: Kazuma Sumi (c) defeated Shunma Katsumata with the School Boy (16:37).
*V1 for Kazuma Sumi.

The show began with Kazuma Sumi and Shunma Katsumata singing together for the NωA Jr. and then ended with the two wrestling each other for the DDT Universal Title. They wanted to get the message across that they are really good friends but when the time came for the main event, they were both focused on beating each other up. Katsumata piled up some chairs outside the ring and gave Sumi a Death Valley Bomb onto it. He also channeled Konosuke Takeshita by doing a German Suplex in a style similar to his. Sumi kept trying to use the School Boy to catch out Katsumata over and over. The plan eventually worked when he used it as a counter to the ¡Hasta la vista! to get the three count. Sumi thanked Katsumata for the match and said so much has happened in the time since NωA Jr. was formed. Whenever Sumi got nervous, Katsumata would always tell him it would be okay and he should go out there to have fun. Sumi thinks that advice is the reason he has made it this far. Although he beat Katsumata today, he doesn’t feel like he has surpassed him yet. He promised he will do that the next time they fight against each other. Until then, he wants to defend the Universal Title against amazing wrestlers from all over the world.

Today was Kumadori’s first time wrestling on one of DDT’s regional shows. He brought along a cue card to read after he won his match. It was simply a message that said he will be at next month’s shows in Hokkaido too.

Special rules were added to Match #2. The GM Hisaya Imabayashi was turned into a target and the first team to pin him would win the match and be given a 10,000 yen reward taken directly out of Imabayashi’s personal account. However if Imabayashi either survived the 10 minute time limit or scored a 3 count pin of his own, then both teams lose and every wrestler in the match would have to give Imabayashi 10,000 yen each. He tried to fight off all comers in the ring at first but was overwhelmed by the constant attacks. However he countered the Danshoku Driver into a Jackknife Pin to score the fall on Danshoku Dieno to beat the odds and win the match by himself.

The MMA bout between Bushimasa and Tyson Maeguchi will use alternate rules for the two rounds. Round 1 is MMA Rules with a three minute time limit. Round two is Tire Boxing rules where both fighters need to keep one foot stepping inside the same tire while they try to punch each other out for one minute.

There is still room on the card for Shuji Ishikawa, Shigehiro Irie, Kazuaki Mihara and Trans-Am ★ Hiroshi.

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “TJPW SPRING TOUR 2026 ~NEXT DOOR~ IN FUKUOKA” Results

April 5, 2026

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “TJPW SPRING TOUR 2026 ~NEXT DOOR~ IN FUKUOKA”, 05/04/2026
Acros Fukuoka Event Hall
357 Fans

1. Sakura Hattori defeated Shion Kanzaki with the Rakkateicho (6:25).
2. 3 Way Match: Mahiro Kiryu defeated Hyper Misao and Ren Konatsu when Kiryu pinned Konatsu with the Apology-Style Cradle (8:41).
3. Yuki Kamifuku & Kira Summer defeated Yuki Aino & Chika Nanase when Kamifuku pinned Nanase with the Famouser (10:41).
4. Mizuki defeated Wakana Uehara with the Cutie Special (8:48).
5. HIMAWARI, Shino Suzuki & Mifu Ashida defeated Suzume, Haru Kazashiro & Uta Takami when HIMAWARI pinned Kazashiro with the Sunflower Tempest (9:32).
6. Rika Tatsumi & Miu Watanabe defeated Raku & Pom Harajuku when Watanabe pinned Harajuku after they Daydream Eternity (13:48).
7. Miyu Yamashita & Shoko Nakajima defeated Yuki Arai & Toga when Yamashita pinned Toga with the Skull Kick (17:26).

Miyu Yamashita made it home to Fukuoka and had a pretty dramatic day to go with it. In the main event she got a bloody lip but toughed through it to get the victory. She told Shoko Nakajima they were able to win by sheer willpower. She then spoke to everyone about the recent news of her martial arts mentor recently passing away. Master Daijiro Matsuda of the Toughs Dojo in Fukuoka unexpectedly passed away in March. According to Yamashita, he was the person who first taught her martial arts and gave her the opportunity to become a pro wrestler. Yamashita said she fought with all of her might for him today and wanted to take this opportunity to talk about him. Nakajima bets Matsuda never expected Yamashita to become such a monster in the ring and probably laughed hysterically watching her matches. The two of them also talked about how tough Yuki Arai & Toga were today. It shows that Tokyo Joshi Pro’s ceiling keeps raising higher and higher so they should aim for the top!

Pom Harajuku wheeled out the “RakuPom Stall” where Raku offered to serve Daydream bowls of ramen during their match. They later tried to push it into their opponents but Miu Watanabe stopped it in their tracks and Rika Tatsumi crushed it by jumping onto it from the ring apron.

The majority of wrestlers currently involved in the International Princess Title scene were thrown into a 6-Woman Tag Match. The champion Suzume got to have a good look at the participants in the upcoming 5-Way No. 1 Contender match. It ended with HIMAWARI getting the win on the other team, pinning Haru Kazashiro with the Sunflower Tempest. HIMAWARI said she’s never been in a 5 Way Match before but around this time last year she won three matches in a single day to earn an IP Title shot. Mifu Ashida revealed that ever since she joined TJPW, the first championship she wanted to challenge for and win is the IP Title so she can go wrestle overseas more often. The recent Texas tour has only made her desire for it stronger. Shino Suzuki thinks she is the only person who should get the title shot for 4th May. There are so many things she wants to do as champion she doesn’t know where to start. Uta Takami believes she can pull off a big miracle that will surprise everyone by winning the 5 Way.

In a change from the normal events, Hyper Misao was attacked before she got the chance to speak on the microphone and it was by Mahiro Kiryu of all people! Kiryu framed Ren Konatsu for the attack but felt guilty about it and apologised later in the match during her Knee Drop spot. Konatsu was able to hit the Aries Comet on Misao later in the match but Kiryu cradled her into an Apology looking pinfall to win the match.

The Flying Forearm strike that Sakura Hattori does from the top rope with all of the ninja hand sign posing is called the Rakkateicho.

DDT “O HANAMI PRO WRESTLING 2026 ~BEER GARDEN PRO WRESTLING BEGINS AGAIN THIS YEAR~”, 09/04/2026
Tokyo Ueno Park Outdoor Stage

6. KING OF DRUNK 2026 Opening Round: Chris Brookes Vs HARASHIMA Vs Kazuma Sumi Vs KANON Vs Yuki Iino Vs Rukiya

Beer Garden not only brings back the King Of Drunk tournament for another year but there is also a Nautilus reunion happening on the show too! Yuki Ueno & Naomi Yoshimura will be properly teaming up for the first time since 2020. There’s been a multi-man match or two when they’ve been on the same side but an honest to God Nautilus match you’ll have to go back five and a half year or so to find the last one.

They grow up so fast. Yuni is becoming a college student but is still too young to legally drink so it’s a bit mean of DDT to have this match happen at a Beer Garden show. At least Junta Miyawaki is allowed to take part in the fun for his first Beer Garden show. Masami Inahata too, I think.

BASARA “BASARA 305 ~OSAKA HARUNO-JIN SUMINOE~”, 12/04/2026
Osaka Suminoe Maikon Hall

1. Takeru Inoue Vs Daichi Kazato
2. FUMA, Ryuichi Sekine & Kohei Kinoshita Vs Takumi Tsukamoto, Daiki Shimomura & Banana Senga
3. Trans-Am ★ Hiroshi, Gouma Ryu & Tsutomu Oosugi Vs Shuji Ishikawa, Minoru Fujita & Yasu Urano
4. Ryota Nakatsu Vs Isami Kodaka
5. Iron Fist Tag Team Titles: Takato Nakano & Masato Kamino (c) Vs SAGAT & Lil’ Kraken

It was only back in January when SAGAT & Lil’ Kraken challenged for the Iron Fist Tag Team Titles. They lost the match and had a crisis of confidence but quickly patched themselves up. When Aijin Tag won the titles, the Super Family pair jumped at the chance to ask for another shot. They’re being rewarded for being so bold but it may just be that Takato Nakano & Masato Kamino see them as an easy first defence.

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “TJPW LIVE IN LAS VEGAS 2026”, 16/04/2026
Pearl Theater At Palms Casino Resort, Las Vegas, Nevada, USA

1. International Princess Title: Suzume (c) Vs Sakura Hattori
2. Princess Tag Team Titles: Jessie McKay & Cassie Lee (c) Vs Shoko Nakajima & Hyper Misao
3. Princess Of Princess Title: Yuki Arai (c) Vs J-Rod

All three new champions coming out of Sumo Hall will be making their first defences at the Las Vegas show. It was already announced that J-Rod would get the Princess Title shot but instead of getting a rematch with Miu Watanabe, it will now be a first time singles match against Yuki Arai. J-Rod sent a message saying pro wrestling is not a fairy tale and she is ready to become the first American Princess Of Princess Champion on her own home soil. There is a chance that Arai and J-Rod will get a preliminary tag match against each other at one of the Vancouver shows but Tetsuya Koda has not made his decision yet.

Kyoraku Kyomei will be The IInspiration’s first challengers for the Princess Tag Team Titles. Both Shoko Nakajima & Hyper Misao like to gamble big whenever they visit Vegas. They also took it upon themselves to get the brand new tag title belts back in TJPW’s hands. Unfortunately Misao cannot confirm if there will be Dramatic Hypami bike in Las Vegas after the one in Texas fell apart. Jessie McKay & Cassie Lee showed concern for the roster after hearing the wrestlers had a troublesome trip back home to Japan from the Texas tour. However, they claim they were able to win the titles on just three hours sleep so how will Kyoraku Kyomei fare against them when they have the full eight hours in America?

Before Suzume can make it to Golden Week, she must survive fighting the ninja Sakura Hattori under the bright lights of Vegas! Hattori handed Suzume a scroll at Sumo Hall to tell her she wanted a title shot. Another scroll has since been sent telling Suzume to be prepared because Hattori is targeting her and can take the IP Title away in an instant! As we get towards the match, Hattori is sprinting through a singles match winning streak that’s been going on ever since her gimmick switch.

GANBARE☆PRO “HATAAGE 13TH ANNIVERSARY – MAD MAX 2026”, 29/04/2026
Tokyo Korakuen Hall

1. PSYCHO & Yuya Susumu Vs Shota Kawakami & Sentaro Motoshima
2. Moeka Haruhi Vs Ram Kaichow
3. YuuRI Vs Utami Hayashihita
4. Ken Ohka 25th Anniversary Match: Ken Ohka & Guts Ishijima Vs Masaaki Mochizuki & Ryota Nakatsu
5. Minoru Suzuki & Shuichiro Katsumura Vs Hideki “Shrek” Sekine & Akira Shoji
6. Spirit Of Ganbare World Tag Team Titles: Yumehito Imanari & Shinichiro Tominaga (c) Vs Takuya Wada & Tyson Maeguchi
7. Spirit Of Ganbare World Openweight Title: Mizuki Watase (c) Vs Keisuke Ishii

All of a sudden Ganbare☆Pro has a Korakuen Hall main event rematch that is three years in the making. Back in Mizuki Watase’s first reign as Spirit Of Ganbare World Champion he defeated Keisuke Ishii that was highly praised by those who took the time to watch it. Ishii won a No. 1 Contender tournament to set up the rematch and Watase wants it to be an even better fight than the first one!

Both Takuya Wada & Tyson Maeguchi have held the Spirit Of Ganbare Tag Team Titles in the past. In fact, Maeguchi was one of the first champions and Wada was one of the second champions. Together they might be the team that can beat Touchable for the belts. That would mean a lot to Maeguchi in particular because the physical championship belts did not exist when he was supposed to hold them.

I get how Minoru Suzuki & Shuichiro Katsumura against Hideki “Shrek” Sekine & Akira Shoji is meant to be the shooter match but I feel like this is going to be a coin flip over if it will be good or not.

All of these comedy matches Moeka Haruhi has been doing lately has lead her to this. She now has to face the Triple Six queen herself Ram Kaichow!

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

1. International Princess Title: Suzume (c) Vs Winner Of 5 Way Match

Suzume is noticing that many wrestlers in TJPW have been growing stronger lately, many of whom she hasn’t defend the title against before. She thinks there will definitely be plenty of first time matchups happening during this title reign.

Ueno’s Out For A Week, Harimao’s Last Match, Fandora’s Hunt For Gold

March 26, 2026

DDT “DDT X MOP WRESTLE TOUR 2026 IN MITSUI OUTLET TAMA MINAMIOSAWA”, 28/03/2026
Tokyo Mitsui Outlet Park Tama Minamiosawa

1. MAO & Masami Inahata Vs Naomi Yoshimura & Yuki Ishida
2. Jun Akiyama & Yuya Koroku Vs Kazuki Hirata & Kazuma Sumi
3. Hideki Okatani, Ilusion & MJ Paul Vs Takeshi Masada, Daichi Sato & Hinata Kasai
4. Special 6-Man Tag Match: Chris Brookes, HARASHIMA & Antonio Honda Vs Shunma Katsumata, To-y & Yuni
5. MOP Tag Team Titles: KANON & Viento Maligno (w/ KIMIHIRO) Vs Junta Miyawaki & Rukiya

Some changes to Saturday’s card have been made because Yuki Ueno needs to go get laser surgery in his eye. His doctor found signs of a possible retinal tear in one of his eyes and its needs to be dealt with. He will only be out of action for a week but that means Ueno will miss the next DDT show.

DDT “NO SPOILERS EVENT VOL. 4 IN UENO”, 01/04/2026
Tokyo Ueno Park Outdoor Stage

1. Something With To-y & Kazuki Hirata: To-y Vs Kazuki Hirata
2. Playfulness Series Act 5: Danshoku Dieno Vs Hinata Kasai
3. DAMNATION T.A Vs Fake Daisuke Sasaki Army!: Hideki Okatani, MJ Paul & Ilusion Vs Nise Daisuke Sasaki A, Nise Daisuke Sasaki B & Deka Daisuke Sasaki
4. Special 3-Way Tag Match ~ Best Friends (Mav) Superior: MAO & KANON (w/ KIMIHIRO) Vs Yuki Ueno & Shunma Katsumata Vs Chris Brookes & HARASHIMA

There will be more matches happening on the show but they will not be revealed until they happen.

DDT “CHANGE AGE 2026 ~TOBIKIRI ZENKAI POWER~”, 05/04/2026
Tokyo Korakuen Hall

0. Dark Match: Yuni Vs Rukiya
1. Takeshi Masada, Yuya Koroku & Daichi Sato Vs Kazuma Sumi, Masami Inahata & Hinata Kasai
2. Variety King Decision Match: Toru Owashi Vs Danshoku Dieno Vs Super Sasadango Machine Vs Kazuki Hirata Vs Antonio Honda Vs Akito
3. DAMNATION T.A Vs STRANGE LOVE CONNECTION!: Hideki Okatani & Ilusion Vs Yukio Naya & Viento Maligno
4. Special 6-Man Tag Match: Yuki Ueno, Shinya Aoki & To-y Vs Yuki Iino, Jun Akiyama & Junta Miyawaki
5. Special Single Match: Kaisei Takechi Vs Makoto Oishi
6. KO-D Tag Team Titles: MAO & KANON (c) (w/ KIMIHIRO) Vs Chris Brookes & HARASHIMA
7. Special 6-Man Tag Match ~ Harimao Last Match: Naomi Yoshimura, Ryota Nakatsu & Yuki Ishida Vs Shunma Katsumata, Kota Umeda & Kouki Iwasaki

The first week of April will now have the retirement of Kazusada Higuchi taking place. Sadly he will not have one more match to mark the end of his career. Instead the other members of Harimao will team together one last time before the group disbands. Naomi Yoshimura, Ryota Nakatsu & Yuki Ishida will face three opponents from Higuchi’s past going all the way back to their DNA days. Shunma Katsumata recently returned to action and was an early rival of Higuchi. Both Kota Umeda & Kouki Iwasaki rarely show up in DDT these days but such an important occasion have brought the both of them back.

FANTÔMES DRAMATIC are on the hunt for some gold and could get plenty of it if things go their way soon. Chris Brookes & HARASHIMA have become the No. 1 Contenders for the KO-D Tag Team Titles. The timing could not be better because KANON is coming off of a failed KO-D Openweight Title challenge and may need to rely on MAO to do all the hard work if he hasn’t bounced back by then.

DDT “DREAM LIGHTS ~HOW DO YOU LIKE DDT WEDNESDAY~”, 15/04/2026
Tokyo Korakuen Hall

0. Dramatic Dark Match: Sanshiro Takagi Vs Ilusion
1. Special Single Match: YOH Vs Antonio Honda
2. KO-D 6-Man Tag Team Titles: Takeshi Masada, Yuya Koroku & Daichi Sato (c) Vs Chris Brookes, HARASHIMA & Hinata Kasai
3. DDT Extreme Title: Hideki Okatani (c) Vs Yukio Naya
4. KO-D Openweight Title: Yuki Ueno (c) Vs Yuki Iino

Ueno will definitely be ready to defend the KO-D Title against Yuki Iino no matter what. He was someone Iino learned a lot from when Iino trained to become a pro wrestler. Ueno was also a part of Iino’s debut match back in 2017.

Meanwhile Yukio Naya has gone and challenged Hideki Okatani for the DDT Extreme Title. His logic is “Extreme” means big so the title should belong to him.

Brookes & HARASHIMA could be double tag champs if Fandora wins the KO-D 6-Man Tag Team Titles from paleyouth. The wild card is Hinata Kasai. He hasn’t directly won a match yet but Antonio Honda thinks having Kasai on the challenger team will add some drama to the title match. The idea has painted a target on Kasai when Brookes threw Bunbun into the crowd after the challenge was made. Takeshi Masada blames Kasai for that and wants to get revenge!

DDT “MOTSUNABE BUSTER”, 18/04/2026
ACROS Fukuoka

1. DDT Universal Title: Kazuma Sumi (c) Vs Shunma Katsumata

The new DDT Universal Champion is looking to surpass a wrestler he looks up to. Kazuma Sumi nominated Katsumata to be his first challenger to repay him for his support over the years. However the repayment will be completed when Sumi beats Katsumata! Same goes the other way around. Katsumata will show his appreciation for Sumi by crushing him for the championship!

Kumadori will be on the show.

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

1. Dramatic Dream Match: Konosuke Takeshita Vs Kaisei Takechi

The next time DDT goes to Sumo Hall they will give everyone a Konosuke Takeshita versus Kaisei Takechi match! Hopefully neither of them will get a case of pink eye right before the match again.

DDT “TONKOTSU SUPLEX” Results

November 8, 2025

DDT “TONKOTSU SUPLEX”, 08/11/2025
ACROS Fukuoka Event Hall
??? Fans – Unannounced

1. Hideki Okatani defeated Yuki Ishida with the Skewered Claymore (10:52).
2. MJ Paul & Demus defeated Yuya Koroku & Hinata Kasai when Demus pinned Kasai with La Valagueza (8:58).
3. Irregular 3 Way Match: To-y defeated Kazuki Hirata and Takeshi Masada when To-y submitted Hirata with an Arm Bar (9:55).
4. Yuki Ueno defeated Tomomitsu Matsunaga with the Jul.2 (8:58).
5. Sanshiro Takagi & Chris Brookes defeated Kazusada Higuchi & Daichi Sato when Takagi pinned Sato with La Magistral Cradle (11:00).
6. Special 6-Man Tag Match: KONOSUKE TAKESHITA, Daisuke Sasaki & Ilusion defeated MAO, HARASHIMA & Kazuma Sumi (w/ KIMIHIRO) when Sasaki pinned Sumi after the Dooms Of Day The Alpha (20:19).

Well that finisher name in the main event is a bit of a mouthful. Konosuke Takeshita & Daisuke Sasaki used the Doomsday Device to pin Kazuma Sumi but the DDT website put the name down in English as “Dooms Of Day The Alpha”. I think they can get away with taking out the “Of”. After the match Takeshita talked about being a trainer for Ilusion when Ilusion started wrestling. He was then entrusted to Sasaki when Takeshita moved to America. Takeshita told Ilusion he has become a good wrestler but if he is in DAMNATION T.A then he’ll need to get stronger to catch up with Sasaki. Ilusion told everyone that all of the times Takeshita scolded or praised him became part of his pro wrestling.

Yuki Ueno got to talk about his good times with Tomomitsu Matsunaga after they had a rare singles match put together due to a bunch of wrestlers becoming too sick to wrestle today.

Special rules were put together for the 3 Way Match. After using an Amidakuji page to figure it out To-y needed to be pinned for a normal 3 Count to lose, Kazuki Hirata needed to be pinned for a 5 Count to lose and Takeshi Masada needed to just be pinned for a 1 Count to lose. So naturally the match ended with To-y submitting Hirata because it was quicker than pinning him.

Everyone Has The Flu, Miu And J-Rod Work Out Together, November’s Korakuen Is Getting Packed

November 7, 2025

The sickness bug continues to change DDT’s lineups going into the weekend. KANON, Akito, Yuki Iino, Yukio Naya and now Jun Akiyama will miss this weekend’s shows due to feeling ill. Tetsuya Endo over in NOAH will be missing a show on Sunday too and his is the only report that says he caught the flew. The DDT pages only say the wrestlers mentioned above are all unwell.

However MAO has recovered from his sick day and will make the shows.

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “PICTURE BOOK READING PRO WRESTLING IN JIMBOCHO”, 08/11/2025
Jimbocho Book House Café “Children’s Book Specialty Store & Café”

1. Miu Watanabe, Raku & Pom Harajuku Vs Rika Tatsumi, Arisu Endo & Suzume

Some book reading and then a wrestling match for the kids. Rika Tatsumi is also still the Iron Man Heavymetalweight Champion so there’s the risk of a title change happening too.

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “ALL RISE ’25”, 09/11/2025
Tokyo Korakuen Hall

1. 4 Way Tag Match: Mizuki & Suzume Vs Miyu Yamashita & Kaya Toribami Vs Yuki Aino & Haru Kazashiro Vs Raku & Pom Harajuku
2. Rika Tatsumi, Kira Summer, Chika Nanase & Ren Konatsu Vs Hyper Misao, Kakeru Sekiguchi, Mahiro Kiryu & Mifu Ashida

6. Princess Tag Team Titles: Yuki Kamifuku & Wakana Uehara (c) Vs HIMAWARI & Shino Suzuki
7. Princess Of Princess Title: Miu Watanabe (c) Vs J-Rod

During the week Miu Watanabe and J-Rod actually did a workout session together. J-Rod wasn’t impressed with Watanabe’s weight lifting and is now certain she will win an easy match tomorrow.

DDT “KUMAMOTO WARRIORS”, 09/11/2025
Kumamoto Castle Hall Civic Hall

1. Demus Vs Kazuma Sumi
2. Daisuke Sasaki, Hideki Okatani & Ilusion Vs Chris Brookes, Tomomitsu Matsunaga & Hinata Kasai
3. MJ Paul Vs Takeshi Masada
4. Special 3 Way Match: Yuki Ueno Vs MAO (w/ KIMIHIRO) Vs Kazuki Hirata

6. Kumamoto Castle Sauna No Yu Presents Special 6-Man Tag Match: KONOSUKE TAKESHITA, Sanshiro Takagi & HARASHIMA Vs To-y, Daichi Sato & Yuki Ishida

The Kumamoto main event has been spared as has the Kazusada Higuchi versus Yuya Koroku match.

“ROJO PRO WRESTLING IN SHINGASHI”, 09/11/2025
Saitama Shingashi Station West Exit Station Street

1. 3 Way Match: Gota Ihashi Vs So Daimonji Vs Kaji Tomato
2. Soma Takao & Shota Vs Makoto Oishi & Shiori Asahi

Two DDT wrestlers have quietly been added to another show going over in Saitama this Sunday. There are two Street Wrestling matches are taking place at the annual Waku Waku Festival. Soma Takao will be there to reunite ROMANCE DAWN with Shota to take on Makoto Oishi & Shiori Asahi. Also Gota Ihashi is entering a 3 Way Match against So Daimonji and Kaji Tomato. It’s not DDT branded matches as much as I can tell but DDT are promoting it on their Twitter so I might as well try to find the results when they happen.

GANBARE☆PRO “SCHOOL OF ROCK 2025”, 09/11/2025
Shin-Kiba 1st RING

1. Shota Kawakami Vs Sentaro Motoshima
2. YuuRI & Sumika Yanagawa Vs Haruka Umesaki & Soy
3. Shuichiro Katsumura, Takuya Wada & Jonathan Johnson Vs Yumehito Imanari, Shinichiro Tominaga & Mizuki Watase
4. Keisuke Ishii Vs Munetatsu Nakamura
5. Spirit Of Ganbare World Tag Team Titles: Ryota Nakatsu & Takumi Tsukamoto (c) Vs Ken Ohka & Choun Shiryu
6. Spirit Of Ganbare World Openweight Title: Masaaki Mochizuki (c) Vs Yuna Manase

A new guest is visiting Ganbare☆Pro from Thailand. Jonathan Johnson will be taking part in SETUP and IWA Thailand’s first show in Japan a couple of days later.

A Ganbare☆Joshi tag match is also added with Sumika Yanagawa and Soy joining in from the outside world.

DDT “BE AMBITIOUS ~AUTUMN BATTLE~”, 30/11/2025
Tokyo Korakuen Hall

1. DDT Extreme Title – Weapon Gamble Match: To-y (c) Vs Sanshiro Takagi
2. KO-D Tag Team Titles: MAO & KANON (c) (w/ KIMIHIRO) Vs Daisuke Sasaki & Hideki Okatani
3. Special Single Match: KONOSUKE TAKESHITA Vs Shinya Aoki
4. KO-D Openweight Title & DDT Universal Title: Yuki Ueno (c/c) Vs Super Sasadango Machine

The double title match is something that Yuki Ueno really wants to put across as a big deal so he asked DDT to put their best effort into the pre-match hype video to tell the story right to the audience. He also doesn’t want the match itself to risk being undercut by the video so he is forcing Super Sasadango Machine to skip the pre-match PowerPoint Presentation! Sasadango reluctantly agreed because he has a secret weapon that can win him both the KO-D Openweight Title and DDT Universal Title. He has the dreaded Reverse Shrimp Hold that he purposely kept hidden in his moveset for his entire career and now is the time for him to use it!

We have another Konosuke Takeshita match in DDT to look forward to this month and it is a doozy. Both he and Shinya Aoki want to have a rematch from their January 2022 bout so let them have at it! They did wrestle each other far more recently, during Wrestlemania Weekend in Las Vegas this past April. But one on one it’s been quite a while.

Both members of Strange Love Connection falling sick and missing some matches has ended up making a few wrestlers from DAMNATION T.A mad. Daisuke Sasaki wants them to give up the KO-D Tag Team Titles if they’re going to be weak like this, unlike him who injured his ribs the last time he was in a KO-D Tag Titles match and was able to come back from it. Hideki Okatani made the challenge even more serious by attack KIMIHIRO with his bamboo stick when the MC was performing by himself without MAO or KANON there to protect him.

A new twist on an old favorite awaits for the DDT Extreme Title match. Sanshiro Takagi loves the Weapon Rumble while To-y loves gambling. So you put them together to get the Weapon Gamble! The match is won under normal means but every now and then a new weapon will be brought down to the ring. For every weapon that shows up, To-y and Takagi will play a gambling game where the winner gets to use the weapon. It will be against the rules for a wrestler to use a weapon they didn’t win.

Ueno Vs Sasadango, Sasaki Gets A Title Match For Turning 40, Rivality Coming To DDT

November 5, 2025

DDT “RYOGOKU AFTER ~IT’S A WONDERFUL BATTLE~”, 06/11/2025
Shinjuku FACE

1. Demus & Ilusion Vs Kazuki Hirata & Akito
2. Special Tag Match: Naomi Yoshimura & Kumadori Vs Soma Takao & Hinata Kasai
3. Harimao Vs SCHADENFREUDE International: Kazusada Higuchi & Yuki Ishida Vs Chris Brookes & Takeshi Masada
4. Special Tag Match: Minoru Suzuki & HARASHIMA Vs Yukio Naya & Daichi Sato
5. KANON, Yuya Koroku & Rukiya (w/ KIMIHIRO) Vs Daisuke Sasaki, Hideki Okatani & MJ Paul
6. Special Single Match: KONOSUKE TAKESHITA Vs Antonio Honda
7. Special 6-Man Tag Match: Yuki Ueno, To-y & Kazuma Sumi Vs Super Sasadango Machine, Sanshiro Takagi & Jun Akiyama

The locker room coming out of Sumo Hall is feeling a little lighter going into tomorrow’s DDT show. MAO and Yuki Iino are both off the show because they are feeling in poor condition. Also Danshoku Dieno will remain out of action for the rest of the month so he will be at full fitness when he returns.

There will be a contract signing during the show for Yuki Ueno and Super Sasadango Machine. It will be for their double title match taking place later in the month.

DDT “TONKOTSU SUPLEX”, 08/11/2025
ACROS Fukuoka Event Hall

1. Hideki Okatani Vs Yuki Ishida
2. MJ Paul & Demus Vs Akito & Hinata Kasai
3. Jun Akiyama, HARASHIMA & Kazusada Higuchi Vs Yuki Iino, Yukio Naya & Yuya Koroku
4. Special Single Match: Kazuki Hirata Vs Takeshi Masada
5. Special Tag Match: Yuki Ueno & To-y Vs Chris Brookes & Daichi Sato
6. Special 6-Man Tag Match: KONOSUKE TAKESHITA, Daisuke Sasaki & Ilusion Vs MAO, KANON & Kazuma Sumi

The Konosuke Takeshita tour continues into the weekend.

DDT “KUMAMOTO WARRIORS”, 09/11/2025
Kumamoto Castle Hall Civic Hall

1. Demus Vs Kazuma Sumi
2. Daisuke Sasaki, Hideki Okatani, MJ Paul & Ilusion V Chris Brookes, Yuki Iino, Takeshi Masada & Hinata Kasai
3. MAO & KANON (w/ KIMIHIRO) Vs Akito & Yukio Naya
4. Special Single Match: Kazusada Higuchi Vs Yuya Koroku
5. Special 3 Way Match: Yuki Ueno Vs Jun Akiyama Vs Kazuki Hirata
6. Kumamoto Castle Sauna No Yu Presents Special 6-Man Tag Match: KONOSUKE TAKESHITA, Sanshiro Takagi & HARASHIMA Vs To-y, Daichi Sato & Yuki Ishida

I think this will be Takeshita’s last DDT booking for the time being unless new dates get mentioned for the end of the year.

DDT “SHOUT YOUR LOVE IN HAMA’S RING!”, 22/11/2025
Kanagawa Radiant Hall

1. Akito 16th Anniversary Match: Kazuki Hirata & Soma Takao Vs Rukiya & Hinata Kasai
*Special Referee: Akito
2. Special Tag Match: MAO & Kazuma Sumi Vs MBM & Ultima Sombra
3. O-40 Title: Antonio Honda (c) Vs Daisuke Sasaki

On 22nd November Daisuke Sasaki will turn 40 years old. As soon as he realized he will become eligible for the O-40 Title he went and challenged Antonio Honda to a title match.

From this point on to the end of November DDT will be joined by a guest tag team from BZW in Europe. Rivality consists of Belgian wrestlers MBM & Ultima Sombra who may sound familiar to those who followed MAO & Yoshihiko’s adventures around Europe in 2024. They beat Rivality on a BZW show in France but haven’t fought each other since then. Yoshihiko is out injured but as far as I know MAO & Yoshihiko still hold the BZW Tag Team Titles together. Rivality’s first match in DDT puts them in the ring against MAO again so maybe that thread will get back on track.

To celebrate his 16th Anniversary in wrestling, Akito will don the stripes and officiate a match rather than wrestle in it. I bet Kazuki Hirata ruins it somehow.

Demus will be on the show too.

DDT “GORGEOUS NIGHT”, 23/11/2025
Fukushima Toyota Crown Arena (Fukushima National Sports Festival Memorial Gymnasium) Sub-Arena in Fukushima

1. Special Tag Match: To-y & Takeshi Masada Vs MBM & Ultima Sombra
2. Special Tag Match: Chris Brookes & Arisu Endo Vs Kazuki Hirata & Moeka Haruhi
3. Special 6-Man Tag Match: Yuki Ueno, Jun Akiyama & Antonio Honda Vs Gorgeous Matsuno, MAO & Toru Owashi

DDT puts the spotlight back on Gorgeous Matsuno for his annual Fukushima show. Can he make it extra special by beating the double champ Ueno?

The show also features a first time ever team up of Chris Brookes & Arisu Endo! Makes sense to have Endo on the show because her hometown Aizuwakamatsu is in Fukushima. They’re joining forces for a Mixed Tag Match against Hirata & Moeka Haruhi.

Demus? Also on the show.

DDT “KAZUMA SUMI TRIUMPHANT RETURN! SUMI SOARS FOR MIE!”, 24/11/2025
Mie Cultural Center Multipurpose Hall

1. 3 Way Match: HARASHIMA Vs Kazuki Hirata Vs Akito
2. Yuki Iino & Yukio Naya Vs MJ Paul & Demus
3. Special 6-Man Tag Match: MAO, KANON & Kazuma Sumi Vs Daisuke Sasaki, Hideki Okatani & Ilusion

The hometown hero position will be given to Kazuma Sumi next when DDT rolls into Mie. Him and Strange Love Connection vanquishing DAMNATION T.A will make Sumi even more of a hero.

Guess who will be here? Demus.

Rivality will be on this show too.

DDT “BE AMBITIOUS ~AUTUMN BATTLE~”, 30/11/2025
Tokyo Korakuen Hall

1. DDT Extreme Title: To-y (c) Vs Sanshiro Takagi
2. KO-D Openweight Title & DDT Universal Title: Yuki Ueno (c/c) Vs Super Sasadango Machine

Yuki Ueno now holds both the KO-D Openweight Title and the DDT Universal Title. His next challenger is an unusual one but has a convincing enough reason to be in this position. They had a match late last year where afterwards Ueno promised to give Sasadango a title shot once he became the KO-D Champion again. Well Ueno won the belt not once but twice in 2025 and yet Sasadango never got was was promised to him. To make up for it, Ueno is also putting the Universal Title on the line since he just won it from Minoru Suzuki and Sasadango once had a retirement match against Suzuki (as Muscle Sakai).

The DDT Extreme Champion of the Reiwa era has one more opponent from the title’s past threatening to take the belt off of him. To-y was given a Stunner by Sanshiro Takagi at Sumo Hall as a reminder that the championship was originally created by Takagi in the first place. It is always a good thing for a DDT wrestler be given the opportunity to drive the boss nuts in a crazy match.

The expectation is for Dieno to be fully recovered from his health problems in time to make his return on this show.

I think I lost Demus… Nope, he’s on this show and so will Rivality. Phew, that was a close one. I almost had to panic there.

Ultimate Party 2025 Card, Takeshita Appearing On More DDT Shows, Interim Omori Title

October 20, 2025

DDT “BEER GARDEN PRO WRESTLING 2025 ~THE FINAL~”, 23/10/2025

10. KO-D Openweight Title & DDT Universal Title: Yuki Ueno (K/c) Vs Minoru Suzuki (U/c)

Just like that we have the entire lineup for Sumo Hall next month. Konosuke Takeshita wanted Kazusada Higuchi to be in his tag match so Kaisei Takechi asked for Takeshi Masada to be Higuchi’s tag partner. Danshoku Dieno is feeling like a new person after getting surgery but doesn’t understand that his match with Daisuke Sasaki is the rematch of an infamous Sumo Hall main event they had together back on 2018. The KO-D Tag Titles match doesn’t just have The Apex and Strange Love Connection involved. Team 200kg from Sendai Girls are included as well to make it a Survival 3 Way Match.

DDT “RYOGOKU AFTER ~IT’S A WONDERFUL BATTLE~”, 06/11/2025
Shinjuku FACE

1. Special Single Match: KONOSUKE TAKESHITA Vs Antonio Honda

Shortly after Sumo Hall, Takeshita is sticking around for a few more DDT dates. One of them is to have a singles match with Antonio Honda, his old pal and mentor from Happy Motels.

DDT “TONKOTSU SUPLEX”, 08/11/2025
ACROS Fukuoka Event Hall

1. Special 6-Man Tag Match: KONOSUKE TAKESHITA, Daisuke Sasaki & Ilusion Vs MAO, KANON & Kazuma Sumi

After that he teams up with DAMNATION T.A again. Sasaki started respecting Takeshita when he turned heel in AEW and left The 37KAMIINA in DDT so he must really look up to him now that he won the IWGP World Heavyweight Title.

DDT “KUMAMOTO WARRIORS”, 09/11/2025
Kumamoto Castle Hall Civic Hall

1. Special 6-Man Tag Match: KONOSUKE TAKESHITA, Sanshiro Takagi & HARASHIMA Vs To-y, Daichi Sato & Yuki Ishida

So, er… Takeshita’s going to work a few New Japan shows during this period too, right? Because he’s not beating the allegations so far. Would be funny if Takeshita’s entire title reign is spent wrestling the likes of Antonio Honda and Sanshiro Takagi instead of say Shota Umino or Yuya Uemura.

DDT “UTAN FESTA 2025”, 16/11/2025
Tokyo JR Omori Station East Exit Square

1. Omori World Title Next Challenger Battle Royal: X Vs X
2. Interim World Omori Title: Kazuki Hirata Vs Antonio Honda

The current World Omori Champion is the injured Masahiro Takanashi so an interim champion is being crowned in the meantime. Either Kazuki Hirata or Antonio Honda will become Takanashi’s stand-in for the annual Omori Title Match while another No. 1 Contender will be determined in a Battle Royal.
