The final series of Beer Garden shows inside Shinjuku FACE are happening this week so DDT are sending them off with a bang. The company’s biggest drinkers all gathered together for the main event that was just an excuse for them to get absolutely blasted on tequila. Shunma Katsumata opened the show by pinning Kazuma Sumi during the NωA Jr. to win the Iron Man Heavymetalweight Title and he got to close out the show by winning the first of two Red Right To Challenge Anytime, Anywhere Gauntlets to be activated this year. He did so by wearing a T.M.Revolution costume made out of tissue paper and was the last one standing after everyone else became too drunk to continue fighting.
However somebody else has taken it upon themselves to shake up the Right To Challenge prizes this year. Ilusion has complained online about how stale the concept is and he wanted to show off to everyone his idea to spice it up this year. After the main event he entered the ring carrying a purple Gauntlet and announced the creation of the Right To Challenge Anytime, Anywhere, Anytime, Anywhere Gauntlet! With this prize the holder can cash it in on any person with a regular Right To Challenge Gauntlet whenever they want. Hisaya Imabayashi listened to Ilusion’s pitch and found it interesting enough to give it a go so starting tomorrow, the Anytime, Anywhere, Anytime, Anywhere Gauntlet will become officially activated!
Everybody in Match #6 wrestled while wearing stockings over their heads.
A situation broke out during HARASHIMA’s opening speech where Danshoku Dieno & Antonio Honda were chasing Junta Miyawaki & Masami Inahata down to the ring. HARASHIMA calmed everyone down and told them all to apologise to each other. But when they did they all headbutted each other by accident and went backstage feeling weird. Then when it was time for their match, Miyawaki showed up dressed as Honda and Inahata was dressed as Dieno! They even copied the moves and the match ended with Inahata pinning Honda with the Gotch-Style Danshoku Driver.
Kazuki Hirata threw himself into a Battle Royal to fight against many Invisible opponents. There were more than wrestlers involved too because some of the participants were Invisible versions of people from the dance group M!LK. What Hirata did not expect most of all was the appearance of his own Invisible doppelganger! After getting a taste of his own medicine by being pinned with his own finisher, Hirata was happy to pose with Invisible Kazuki Hirata and the rest of the Invisible Men for a commemorative photo.
There was a contract signing for the DDT Extreme Title match between Hideki Okatani and Yuki Ishida happening on 26th July. Ishida spoke about feeling lost ever since Kazusada Higuchi retired and Harimao disbanded. He wants to change but has only been moving vaguely forward which is why he decided to wager his hair in order to get an Extreme Title shot. Okatani said he will crush Ishida without the need for any dirty tricks. He then asked Ishida what is it exactly that makes his hair valuable? Ishida answered he has been growing his hair for the last five years so it is like he is putting all of his experience up until now on the line. If he were to lose he will end up in a terrible state. With that explanation, Okatani decided it will just be a regular match with no other special rules applied.

Whoever wins them will get a KO-D Title shot whenever they want from the time they win them up until 27th September.

6. Dramatic Dream Match: KONOSUKE TAKESHITA Vs Kaisei Takechi
7. KO-D Openweight Title: Yuki Ueno (c) Vs MAO
The card is starting to fill up. Yuki Ueno and MAO will be in the KO-D Title match in Sumo Hall again for the second time in the hopes of carrying DDT on the ultimate path towards the Tokyo Dome. There are also some inter-promotional bouts to look forward to with Kazuma Sumi defending the DDT Universal Title against Ryusuke Taguchi in a continuation of the DDT Vs New Japan rivalry. There is still some friendliness between the two companies because Daisuke Sasaki has picked DOUKI to be his tag partner for the mystery match against Antonio Honda and whoever he is going to pick (the popular guess online so far seems to be YOH). Dragon Gate is also taking part in the fun by sending YAMATO over for a match. Unfortunately for him he’s getting Danshoku Dieno as his opponent.
1. Special Single Match: Chris Brookes defeated Miles Karu with the Octopus Hold (12:46).
2. Kota Sekifuda defeated Antonio Honda with the Super Man (13:24).
3. Square Kong & Princess Ram defeated Dark King Ueki & Munek when Kong pinned Munek with the Made In Gorilla (10:18).
4. BK-G Openweight Title: Mr. Bueno (c) (w/ Mr. Malo) defeated Toru Owashi with La Magistral Cradle (17:10). *V3 for Mr. Bueno.
Was the main event really a BK-G Openweight Title or an infomercial for Toru Owashi’s food? Midway through the match Owashi pulled out a box filled with jars of his homemade miso. He attacked Mr. Bueno with some of the jars until he spotted Mr. Malo stealing from the box. He then tried to Choke Slam Bueno onto a pile of jars but Malo grabbed all of them to put back into the box. Malo continued to help out his brother until Owashi bribed him with jars of miso. Malo agreed and handed his black mask over to Owashi to wear as they ganged up on the champion. Bueno was able to snap his brother out of betraying him and the match returned to being one on one. Bueno and Owashi got into a chop battle. Owashi got the upper hand and went to do La Magistral Cradle but Bueno reversed it and used the same move to pin Owashi intead.
After the match Bueno started complaining to Chris Brookes because he never knew he was supposed to defend the BK-G Title today. He thinks being the champion means he should be let in on these kind of surprises. Brookes disagreed, telling him it is supposed be a surprise all the time. However since Baka Gaijin + Friends will be holding their first show in Nagoya on 19th July he will reveal the main event of that show right now. It will be Mr. Bueno & Mr. Malo against Brookes & Yuta Oya!
Trouble is brewing inside Ueki’s Magic Kingdom so the unit is on the lookout for new members. Dark King Ueki asked Antonio Honda and Kota Sekifuda to join but they both turned him down so they were kidnapped and kept inside Munek’s magic prison. However Square Kong suddenly got tired of Ueki bossing him around and didn’t want to take is orders anymore. Long then got mad when Sekifuda noticed the bananas Ueki was giving him were unripe. Princess Ram then aired her own grievances towards Ueki because the coffee he bought for her today is from McDonalds instead of Starbucks. The Kingdom was now having a civil war with Ueki & Munek fighting Kong & Ram! Kong attacked the other team with a barrell while Munek used his magic to slow down Ram. Kong then ate his unriped banana to power up and trick Ueki into rubbing Munek into his hairy chest. Ram blinded Munek with powder and Kong then pinned him with the Made In Gorilla. After the match Kong grabbed Munek’s wand to cast a spell on Ueki but Munek used a mirror to deflect it back at him and Ram. Thw two of them are now back under Ueki’s control and the Magic Kingdom are all on the same page again.
Sekifuda pulled out a sack containing something that would counter Honda’s Gongitsune. He reached in deep inside to pull out his own arm shaped like a gecko… that’s right it’s Gon The Gecko! It bit Honda’s arm to render Gongitsune useless but Honda then raised his other hand to form Gongitsune’s uncle seeking revenge for his nephew’s untimely end. The match then devolved into Bionic Elbow wind up spots until Sekifuda used a Superman Dive to pin Honda.
Miles Karu wanted to start off his Baka Gaijin debut on the right foot so he entered the room singing his own version of “Ice Ice Baby”. It got the fans chanting “Miles Miles Baby” at him while Brookes was waiting for him to wrap it up. During the match they fought over to the window where they both tried to throw each other out of it but they returned back to the mat. Karu pulled out a melodica and started playing “My Heart Will Go On” to confuse Brookes into letting go of a submission hold and get Daisuke Kiso to do the Titanic pose on a stool. Karu spoiled the moment by rolling up Brookes for a nearfall, causing Kiso to scramble back to reality. Brookes stuck the melodica pipe into Karu’s mouth and kept chopping him in the chest. He then did a Pulling Piledriver but when Karu kicked out of the pin, Brookes twisted him into an Octopus Hold and made him give up.

6. FANTÔMES DRAMATIC Vs DAMNATION T.A!: Daisuke Sasaki, Hideki Okatani, MJ Paul & Ilusion defeated Chris Brookes, HARASHIMA, Antonio Honda & Hinata Kasai when Sasaki submitted Kasai with the Crossface Lock (10:24).
7. KO-D Openweight Title: Yuki Ueno (c) defeated Shinya Aoki with the Sleeper Hold (21:48). *V8 for Yuki Ueno.
There was no repeat from what happened back in 2024. This time Yuki Ueno was able to put Shinya Aoki away and remain the KO-D Openweight Champion. It was a complete swap of results from two years ago as this time Ueno was able to make Aoki submit instead of the other way around. He had to go that direction because Aoki avoided the WR and used the Aoki Clutch to try and win. Ueno kicked out of the move and got to use his finisher except Aoki still had enough movement left in him to avoid getting pinned. Ueno had to instead stick Aoki in a grounded Sleeper Hold and make him tap out to finally win. After the match Ueno thanked Aoki for becoming part of the DDT family and said how much he respects him from the bottom of his heart.
There is still some time to go until “WRESTLE PETER PAN 2026” takes place in Sumo Hall on 11th August. It’s enough time for a surprise title defence or two to happen before then but Ueno was given the nod by Hisaya Imabayashi to choose his Ryogoku challenger. Ueno brought up his goal to bring DDT to the Tokyo Dome and in order to do that he feels he must come up with a match that can sell out Sumo Hall first. The opponent he wants to fight in front of a packed Sumo Hall is MAO! This will also be a title rematch from 2024 in the same building. MAO calls himself a realist because he wonders if he can really make it to the Tokyo Dome. He thinks he can because he has become stronger that he was two years ago and is carrying none of the burdans from back then. He accepts the challenge to determine who will win between DDT’s Prince and DDT’s square shaped devil!
The 8-Man Tag between FANTÔMES DRAMATIC and DAMNATION T.A was a little preview for the mystery tag match at Sumo Hall that Daisuke Sasaki and Antonio Honda are both involved with. It was also an opportunity for Hinata Kasai to earn his first win. His partners helped out by weakening Sasaki using Chris Brookes’s Penalty Kick, HARASHIMA’s Swan Dive Body Press and Honda’s Fist Drop. Kasai then applied the STF for the finish but Sasaki got out of it by biting Kasai’s hand. After that MJ Paul hit Kasai with a chairshot from ringside and Hideki Okatani followed it up with the Claymore Kick. Ilusion wiped out the other Fandora wrestlers with a Trust Fall dive out of the ring while Sasaki made Kasai give up to the Crossface Lock.
Sasaki then had an announcement to make after the match. Both he and Honda need to find their own tag partners for their Sumo Hall match. Sasaki revealed he has found a suitable partner and played a video of him recruiting DOUKI from New Japan! The addition of the House Of Torture wrestler had Honda beginning to worry about the match. He told Sasaki when it will be time for him to reveal his tag partner, Sasaki’s going to act like it is an unfair choice too. Backstage Sasaki said he’s known DOUKI going back to before he was even DOUKI. Sasaki also recently just came back from Thailand where he claimed to have learned Muay Thai during his stay so he thinks he will take Honda down in seconds.
No referee? No problem! It was up to the audience to count the pinfall during the grudge match between MAO and Sanshiro Takagi. Not even the most stringent wrestling official could get in the way of MAO and Takagi’s crazy ideas for the match. Takagi made his entrance through the Korakuen Hall seating only to get run over by MAO riding the Dramatic Dream bike. He then crashed a scooter into Takagi along with a cart with KIMIHIRO sitting on it at ringside. Takagi fought back by bringing a toilet into the ring so he could DDT MAO into it. The fans were aided with on-screen instructions to count either fast or slow much to the wrestlers’ chagrin. The fan count would only register when it was determined the majority of them reached to three. MAO then played mind games by showing video footage of him running over Takagi in different vehicles over the past six years. The trauma effected Takagi so much that when MAO pulled out a small remote control van it caused Takagi more mental damage. Takagi was able to fight back using Stunners but the crowd only made it to a collective 2.9 before MAO kicked out. MAO got his own nearfall using the Michinoku Driver II so he placed a plastic box on top of his opponent and hit the Cannonball 450° through it for the three count. He then added insult to injury by driving the toy van into Takagi’s beaten body. With this win, MAO now considers himself to be Takagi’s successor so he encourages everyone else to DDT to become as crazy as he is and carry the weight of DDT with pride!
Kazuma Sumi came back from his eye injury with something in particular being stuck in his mind. But first he had a 6-Man Tag Match against paleyouth to get through. He got to show he didn’t lose a step in his brief absence by going toe to toe with Takeshi Masada. His partners Yuni & Kumadori pulled off some big dives late in the match. But when it came down to Yuni, he became overwhelmed by Yuya Koroku and then Daichi Sato who put him away with a Rolling Elbow.
After the match Sumi talked about how frustrating it was he had to miss the recent DDT Vs New Japan show due to his injury. He was annoyed in particular by seeing the NJPW young lion Tatsuya Matsumoto beat Hinata Kasai. Sumi can’t stand seeing DDT lose to NJPW like this so he made a demand to defend his DDT Universal Title against a wrestler from New Japan. Suddenly the lights in the room went out and when they switched back on, Ryusuke Taguchi was standing right behind Sumi! Akito was there too in his CyberFight Director form to announce he just so happened to have already booked Taguchi for Sumo Hall so Sumi can give him a title shot on that show. Sumi said it is a dream for him to reach the top of the Junior Heavyweight scene and asked Taguchi if he could be his stepping stone? Taguchi responded that Kota Ibushi and Kenny Omega have used him as such to help them spread their wings to the world so he will do his best to do the same for Sumi. However after they shook hands, Taguchi suddenly hit Sumi with the Hip Attack and warned him to be careful otherwise he will be used as a stepping stone by somebody else!
By wrestling back and forth between DDT and NOAH recently, Yuki Iino is developing a balancing act between his DDT form and his Jonetsu MAX form. The Iino that wrestled today isn’t quite the same persona as the one that just won the GHC Tag Team Titles. Still, he and KANON worked as a well oiled duo in order to beat Shunma Katsumata & To-y. Iino even pulled off his cap at the end to show everyone his Jonetsu double mohawk before pinning To-y with a Lariat.
With Strange Love Connection getting the victory, KIMIHRIO did a rap for Iino to reintroduce him to the fans. Iino didn’t quite get what he was doing while Katsumata also felt provoked by it. He felt so provoked that he suddenly started a rap battle against KIMIHIRO in the ring! Katsumata quickly realised the mistake he made and said he gave up. But as Katsumata left the ring, Yukinori Matsui took the Iron Man Heavymetalweight Title from him and handed it over to KIMIHIRO because KIMIHIRO just technically beat the champion by submission! Katsumata tried to take the belt back but the rest of SLC were there to stop him and make sure KIMIHIRO would leave the show as the new champ.
Rules had to be changed for Match #2 thanks to Kazuki Hirata. He ended up fighting the other team all on his own and quickly lost the match before Minoru Suzuki or Danshoku Dieno could even make their entrance. Imabayashi decided to restart the match with the added rule that Hirata could only lose the match if he gets beaten three times. Jun Akiyama immediately pinned Hirata before Dieno made it to the ring. Masami Inahata then made Hirata tap out before Suzuki’s music even hit. Inahata almost did it again but Suzuki got there in time to physically stop Hirata from tapping out. The match went on as normal from there. Except the normality went away when Rukiya rubbed his hands against Dieno’s bare backside and then grabbed Hirata in a Camel Clutch to make him give up and lose the match for good.
Today was Soma Takao’s first match since January. He’s been on the shelf since then dealing with an old knee injury and used his comeback to show off a new ring costume to go along with his trusty Dropkick Bar shirt. Yuki Ishida also had something new to show with a slightly changed hairstyle but nobody really noticed his attempt at changing himself into something new. He still played his part at keeping Naomi Yoshimura away so Yukio Naya could play spoiler and end Takao’s comeback match with a loss. Takao said he was happy to be in the ring with other members of the Dropkick Bar and also wrestle in front of the newer DDT fans who may never seen any of his matches before.
DDT welcomed back Miles Karu for another appearance during his excursion to Japan. He brought along his MYPW Southeast Asia Title to the ring for his pre-show match teaming with Akito. Does this mean Junta Miyawaki can now lay claim for a title shot because he & Viento Levante won the match when Miyawaki pinned Karu with the Sunshine Driver.
Another special guest from another wrestling promotion will appear at “WRESTLE PETER PAN 2026” this August. YAMATO from Dragon Gate attended the show so he could step into the DDT ring for the first time (not counting the “DRAMATIC DREAM GATE” joint show from 2012). He was relieved to find out the DDT fans know who he is and he wants to be given a suitable opponent comparable to his stature as a wrestler who built an era in his own company. Guess what? His opponent is going to be Danshoku Dieno. YAMATO argued the match is happening ten years too late because nobody wants to see two old men like them getting it on. The DDT fans disagree and started chanting for the match to happen. YAMATO reluctantly accepted the challenge but warned Dieno his Danshoku tactics won’t work on him.
Even though the KO-D Title match is now set for Sumo Hall, it may not be Ueno going into it as champion. The Right To Challenge Anytime, Anywhere Gauntlets are back for another year! There will be only two Gauntlets this time and possessing one will give the holder a KO-D Title shot whenever they want from the period between 15th July to 27th September. The matches to determine the holders will take place at the Beer Garden shows taking place on 15th and 16th July.
DDT “DDT X GRAND HAMMER ROJO WRESTLING SHOWDOWN AT SHIMBASHI BUSHO YOKOCHO”, 27/06/2026 Tokyo Grand Hammer ??? Fans – Unannounced
1. Falls Count Anywhere 6-Man Tag Match: Takeshi Masada, Yuya Koroku & Daichi Sato defeated Yukio Naya, Yuki Ishida & Masami Inahata when Masada pinned Inahata with the Masada No Chikara KOBU Mukimuki onto Chairs (9:50).
2. Iron Man Heavymetalweight Title – Falls Count Anywhere Tag Match: Shunma Katsumata & Yuni defeated Danshoku Dieno & Kazuki Hirata (c) when Katsumata pinned Hirata with the Sauna Trance Splash from the Ladder (11:50). *Shunma Katsumata becomes the 1,835th champion.
3. Falls Count Anywhere Special 3 Way 6-Man Tag Match: Yuki Ueno, Minoru Suzuki & To-y defeated Chris Brookes, HARASHIMA & Antonio Honda and MAO, KANON & Viento Levante (w/ KIMIHIRO) when Ueno pinned Honda with a Diving Body Press from the Ladder through the Table (20:25).
Stormy weather in Tokyo didn’t stop DDT from holding their Falls Count Anywhere matches inside Tokyo Grand Hammer. It helps that the fighting was kept indoors for the most part. It was only the main event that ever so briefly went outside when Minoru Suzuki threw both MAO and KIMIHIRO out of the building into the rain. The rest fought each other among the fans while making sure not to touch the display of warlord armour that was behind where the matches took place. Suzuki turned on Yuki Ueno by putting him in a Sleeper Hold that left him laying on top of a table. Antonio Honda climbed up a nearby ladder only for Suzuki to sneakily climb up behind him so he could put him in the Sleeper Hold too. Honda used Gongitsune to free himself and send Suzuki climbing back down. Ueno then got Honda onto the table, climbed the ladder and did a Diving Body Press through the table for the victory. Suzuki came back to set Ueno up for the Gotch-Style Piledriver but Ueno escaped to safety. To-y didn’t want the show to end because he felt there was still time for everyone to go party with the fans.
The Iron Man Heavymetalweight Title now belongs to Shunma Katsumata after he pinned Kazuki Hirata in Match #2. Hirata was knocked on top of Danshoku Dieno so Katsumata did the Sauna Trance Splash from the ladder onto both of them before pinning Hirata. He tried to celebrate with Yuni afterwards only for Yuni to roll him up for a nearfall.

DDT “CHARISMANIA IV”, 02/07/2026 Shinjuku FACE
1. Fake Brahman Army Vs Mataro Army All-Out Confrontation: Fake Brahman Yuki, Fake Brahman Yuki & Fake Brahman Yuki Vs Trans-Am ★ Hiroshi, Takayuki Ueki & Takeshi Masada (w/ Mataro)
2. Yasu Urano & Sangre Azteca Jr. Vs Naohiro Katsumi & Yunicaras Jr. (w/ Sumicaras)
3. Special Single Match: MJ Paul Vs Ryunosuke Nagai
4. Special Tag Match: Minoru Fujita & Ilusion Vs Ayato Ishida & Gabai Ji-chan
5. DDT Extreme Title: Hideki Okatani (c) Vs Yuko Miyamoto
6. O-40 Title – 3 Way Match: Daisuke Sasaki (c) Vs Shuji Ishikawa Vs Keisuke Ishii
Coming out of the weekend Hideki Okatani is now on a roll as the DDT Extreme Champion. His next defence has Daisuke Sasaki’s stamp of approval included because he is bringing in Yuko Miyamoto to be the challenger on this show.
We previously had a luchador named Yunicaras on these kind of shows but he got unmasked the last time he was here. I bet Yunicaras Jr. is a completely different person. No way would it be Yuni just coming back as another incognito luchador again. That would just ruin Sumicaras’s reputation and be an insult to Sangre Azteca Jr.
The match order outside of the main event has not been decided yet.
DDT “FIGHTING BEER GARDEN 2026 IN SHINJUKU 【FINAL COUNTDOWN 2】”, 16/07/2026 Shinjuku FACE
1. KO-D 6-Man Tag Team Titles: Takeshi Masada, Yuya Koroku & Daichi Sato (c) Vs Chris Brookes, HARASHIMA & Antonio Honda
A tag team title war has broken out between FANTÔMES DRAMATIC and paleyouth. Both sides have championships and they agreed to defend the belts against each other this July. First up is paleyouth defending the KO-D 6-Man Tag Team Titles and they only need one more win to break the record for most defences in a single reign. They have already beaten Fandora back in April but that was when the winless Hinata Kasai was on the challenger team. This time Antonio Honda is taking his place.
DDT “ROCK IN RING 2026 ~ONE HIT KILL~”, 26/07/2026 Tokyo Korakuen Hall
1. KO-D Tag Team Titles: Chris Brookes & HARASHIMA (c) Vs Takeshi Masada & Yuya Koroku
Then a week and a half later it will be Chris Brookes & HARASHIMA putting the KO-D Tag Team Titles on the line against Takeshi Masada & Yuya Koroku. Brookes thinks Masada would be better off teaming with Daichi Sato instead but Masada & Koroku recently debuted their own tag team finisher. This new weapon called The Roar For Tomorrow Created By Me And Yuya might be the extra step needed for paleyouth to dominate the tag division.
DDT “S.L.C. VS DHAOS ALL-OUT SHOWDOWN”, 21/06/2026 Aichi Chunichi Hall & Conference 0 Fans
1. 1st Floor: Danshoku Dieno defeated MAO with a Lariat (8:33).
2. Iron Man Heavymetalweight Title – 2nd Floor: Kazuki Hirata (c) defeated Yukio Naya with a One-Winged Angel (7:58). *V? for Kazuki Hirata.
3. 3rd Floor: KANON defeated Antonio Honda with the Spinning Reverse Anal Gongitsune (7:02).
4. 4th Floor: Yuki Iino defeated Toru Owashi with a Dragonrana (2:15).
5. 5th Floor: Super Sasadango Machine Vs Viento Levante ended in a Time Limit Draw (30:00).
I don’t know what happened here but the group of wrestlers facing Strange Love Connection in the 10-Man Tag Match today had formed their own group called DHAOS. The two sides then had a series of matches before the show that took place all over the building, one match on every floor. None of the matches were filmed but DDT tweeted out the results and some photos but with little context added to them. The joke is a bunch of crazy things happened during these matches inside rooms and hallways that are hardly big enough to fit three people inside them. The series ended in a tie with each team winning twice and the final bout ending in a time limit draw so everyone agreed to use the 10-Man Tag Match happening later as the decider. However there was now an added stipulation of Mask Contra Mask. Whichever team lost meant either Super Sasadango Machine or Viento Levante would have to unmask as punishment!
Also before today’s show, Kazuki Hirata broke into Danshoku Dieno’s locker room in search of Dieno’s wrestling gear. He found the pair of Danshoku Dieno’s Tights that won the Iron Man Heavymetalweight Title yesterday and pinned it in the room to win back the belt. Dieno then caught Hirata trespassing while he was getting out of the shower but Hirata escaped with the belt.
1. Akito defeated Hinata Kasai with a Scorpion Death Lock (8:49).
2. Special Tag Match: Shunma Katsumata & Kumadori defeated Yuni & Yuki Ishida when Kumadori pinned Yuni with the Spinning Senton (8:05).
3. Jun Akiyama & Rukiya defeated Naomi Yoshimura & Masami Inahata when Rukiya pinned Inahata with the R. Fisherman Buster (6:47).
4. S.L.C. Vs DHAOS All-Out Showdown ~ 6th Floor – Final Showdown: MAO, KANON, Yuki Iino, Yukio Naya & Viento Levante defeated Toru Owashi, Danshoku Dieno, Super Sasadango Machine, Kazuki Hirata & Antonio Honda when Levante pinned Sasadango with the Running Diving Headbutt (8:55).
5. KO-D 6-Man Tag Team Titles: Takeshi Masada, Yuya Koroku & Daichi Sato (c) defeated Daisuke Sasaki, MJ Paul & Ilusion when Masada pinned Ilusion after The Roar For Tomorrow Created By Me And Yuya (13:51). *V5 for paleyouth.
6. DDT Extreme Title – Hardcore I Quit Match: Hideki Okatani (c) defeated Junta Miyawaki when Miyawaki said “I Quit” (16:20). *V2 for Hideki Okatani.
7. KO-D Tag Team Titles: Chris Brookes & HARASHIMA (c) defeated Yuki Ueno & To-y when HARASHIMA pinned To-y with the Swan Dive Somato (18:52). *V2 for FANTÔMES DRAMATIC.
What a false prophet this “Prince Of Nagoya” turned out to be. After spending weeks claiming to be from a future where he won the KO-D Tag Team Titles on today’s show, To-y wasn’t able to live up to his word. He and Yuki Ueno almost had Chris Brookes beaten when they gave him the My MADMAX but HARASHIMA broke up the count. Ueno was there to save To-y by the skin of his teeth when he broke up a pinfall after HARASHIMA hit the Somato. But Brookes made sure Ueno couldn’t do it again and HARASHIMA landed the Swan Dive Somato onto To-y for the successful title defence. There is something nice that To-u got out of the match. Since Brookes is a “Baka Gaijin”, he admitted that whenever he calls To-y an idiot he means it as a compliment. He encourages To-y to keep up with that foolish spirit of his.
HARASHIMA called out for any team to come challenge him and Brookes next. Takeshi Masada & Yuya Koroku from paleyouth answered him and said they are greedy enough to add KO-D Tag Titles to the KO-D 6-Man Tag Team Titles they retained earlier in the show. Brookes suggested that Masada & Daichi Sato are the better pairing but HARASHIMA accepted Koroku’s challenge. Antonio Honda then got into the ring demanding that paleyouth give FANTÔMES DRAMATIC another shot at the KO-D 6-Man Tag Titles to make it a fair deal between the two groups. Sato agreed and Akito as the acting GM for the day got to book both title matches. The KO-D 6-Man Tag Titles match will happen first on 16th July. Then the KO-D Tag Titles match will take place on 26th July.
The pressure and mounting odds got to Junta Miyawaki and he was made to say “I Quit” by Hideki Okatani. It was a Hardcore I Quit Match so the two attacked each other with chairs and keyboards. Miyawaki had to fight off the other members of DAMNATION T.A and was able to put Okatani through a table. Okatani wouldn’t quit though and used an exposed turnbuckle to add more damage to his Skewer-Style Claymore finisher. From there did a chair assisted Diving Foot Stomp onto Miyawaki’s legs, used the loose tag ropes to tie Miyawaki’s hands behind his back and then beat him over and over with table scraps and the bamboo sword until Miyawaki said “You Win” out loud.
After the match Okatani told Miyawaki this is what being extreme is like and it must have been the most exciting day in his life. He will never win the DDT Extreme Title but Okatani respects Miyawaki for being willing to step into the ring with the intention of changing something inside of him. Daisuke Sasaki then grabbed the microphone off Okatani because he had an announcement to make. Okatani will be defending the Extreme Title at “CHARISMANIA IV” on 2nd July and his opponent has already been chosen by Sasaki. It will be Yuko Miyamoto! Okatani suddenly remembered one time when Miyamoto threw him into a pond at Ueno Park so he promises to get revenge on him for that. Sasaki had another announcement to make later backstage. He will be revealing his tag team partner for “WRESTLE PETER PAN 2026” on 28th June.
paleyouth are now just one win away from tying the record for most successful KO-D 6-Man Tag Title defences in a single reign. They all recovered from yesterday’s DAMNATION T.A just to continue getting assaulted by Sasaki, MJ Paul & Ilusion. But when Ilusion decided to wrap the three title belts around him and climb up top to finish the match, Masada dodged the Swanton Bomb and joined forces with Koroku to unveil their new double team finisher called The Roar For Tomorrow Created By Me And Yuya. It is a German Suplex from Koroku that gets extra impact with the Manburi by Masada.
The 10-Man Tag Match was being taken a bit more seriously by SLC and DHAOS now that some masks were being put on the line. Levante successfully protected his by scoring the win over Sasadango. He then unmasked him after the match to reveal Sasadango is Muscle Sakai! The other members of DHAOS all turned on Sakai and banished him from the group as punishment for losing. They then attacked him until SLC chased them all off. After being rescued, Sakai/Sasadango was then offered a part time spot in SLC as a Nagoya only member. So he now gets to team with SLC but only when they have a match held in Nagoya.
Yuki Ishida spoke to DDT cameras at the end of the evening while deconstructing the ring with the rest of the crew. He said that the feeling of wanting to change and the feeling of needing to change are both growing stronger within him. He then kept repeating over and over that he is going to change…
1. Yuki Ishida defeated Hinata Kasai with the Ensho (9:03).
-. Iron Man Heavymetalweight Title: Danshoku Dieno’s Tights defeated Kazuki Hirata (c) by Pinfall (5:31 pm). *Danshoku Dieno’s Tights become the 1833rd champion.
2. Yuya Koroku & Daichi Sato defeated Danshoku Dieno & Kazuki Hirata when Koroku pinned Hirata with an Elbow Butt (10:17).
3. Daisuke Sasaki, Hideki Okatani, MJ Paul & Ilusion defeated Akito, Junta Miyawaki, Naomi Yoshimura & Yuni when Okatani pinned Yuni with the Skewer-Style Claymore (11:06).
4. MAO, KANON & Yukio Naya defeated Jun Akiyama, Rukiya & Masami Inahata when KANON pinned Rukiya with the Lariat (13:32).
5. Special Single Match: Takeshi Masada defeated Viento Levante with the Masada No Chikara KOBU Mukimuki (10:28).
6. The 37KAMIINA Vs FANTÔMES DRAMATIC!: Yuki Ueno, Shunma Katsumata & To-y defeated Chris Brookes, HARASHIMA & Antonio Honda when To-y pinned Honda with the Kojima Impact (18:28).
The “Prince Of Nagoya” is one day away from coming home and after today he is feeling pretty good about his chances of winning the KO-D Tag Team Titles tomorrow. He was put in an Octopus Hold by Antonio Honda but Yuki Ueno broke it up with a Shining Wizard. Then the two of them gave Honda the My MADMAX before To-y finished him off with the Kojima Impact. Afterwards To-y talked on the microphone about enjoying these kind of intense matches because he is the strongest. However, Chris Brookes brought him back down to Earth by reminding him that he is the only wrestler in the title match tomorrow who is not already a champion. Ueno cheered To-y up by giving him a prediction for the next East Vs West themed show taking place in Osaka this August. Ueno predicts he and To-y will cross boundaries together and fight for the tag titles on that show! To-y thought about going one further by giving a prediction of his own but stopped himself, deciding to live in the present instead.
All of paleyouth were attacked by DAMNATION T.A after Match #5. Ilusion gave Takeshi Masada a Low Blow while Daisuke Sasaki & MJ Paul attacked everyone with chairs. Ilusion got on the microphone to demand Masada hand the belts over and start his career over as a trainee. He then knocked out Masada with a belt shot to the head. The three paleyouth wrestlers all had to be helped out of the ring after the attack.
The bright and energetic Junta Miyawaki might be met with a cold reality tomorrow. After his match he said he wants to win the DDT Extreme Title from Hideki Okatani because it looks so shiny. Without much emotion Okatani told Miyawaki he is just somebody who does not know when to give up. So for tomorrow’s I Quit match he will not even allow Miyawaki to give up!
The attack on paleyouth was part of an unlucky day for Yuya Koroku. He thought he had won the Iron Man Heavymetalweight Title earlier in the show when he beat Kazuki Hirata in a tag match. Danshoku Dieno was part of the match and he stripped out of his tights during it. Hirata grabbed the tights and tried to smother Koroku with them but Koroku defended himself and knocked down Hirata with an Elbow Strike. He jumped on top for the pin and got the three count but was not rewarded with the championship. Yukinori Matsui noticed the pair of tights was beneath Koroku and on top of Hirata during the pin so he decided it was Danshoku Dieno’s Tights that pinned Hirata and won the Iron Man Title!
DDT “LET’S GO! BEER GARDEN PRO WRESTLING 2026”, 18/06/2026 Tokyo Ueno Park Outdoor Stage ??? Fans – Unannounced
1. Junta Miyawaki, KANON & Yuki Ishida defeated Jun Akiyama, Rukiya & Masami Inahata when KANON pinned Inahata with the Lariat (8:26).

-. Iron Man Heavymetalweight Title: Kazuki Hirata defeated Yuya Koroku (c) with a Hammer Attack (7:27 pm). *Kazuki Hirata becomes the 1,832nd champion.
5. Ring Removal Death Match: HARASHIMA, Danshoku Dieno & Kazuki Hirata defeated Shunma Katsumata, To-y & Yuni when Dieno pinned Yuni with the Danshoku Driver onto the pile of Cans (23:47).
Taking a page from Michinoku Pro’s annual Great Space War, DDT tried doing a Ring Removal Death Match for the first time today. From the moment the bell rang, a cleanup crew of wrestlers all began to deconstruct the ring while the actual match participants tried to fight each other without getting in the way. The environment became more dangerous as the match progressed because the ring got more bare. Danshoku Dieno tried to put the ring back together then started arguing with the cleanup crew, causing Akito to add a new rule. The crew would be paid double for the day and be treated to an all you can eat meal if they could complete the deconstruction before the match ends! Also the match was now Falls Count Anywhere because the fighting was breaking out into the audience anyway. The ring was taken down to just one last corner post but when Yuya Koroku directed everyone to carry it out, a mystery figure appeared and knocked him out with a hammer. It was Kazuki Hirata and he pinned Koroku to win back the Iron Man Heavymetalweight Title! With no ring left, Dieno had to resort to giving Yuni the Danshoku Driver onto a pile of beer cans nearby to win the match. His team was rewarded with a year long exemption from being in the cleanup crew for DDT events held inside Ueno Park.
News came on short notice that Daisuke Sasaki would not be at the show today. Overnight he remembered a news story from 1993 about a crocodile being sighted at Shakujii Park in Nerima Ward. He thought about it all night and didn’t get enough sleep to be able to wrestle today. His replacement was Crocodile D Sasa but the costume was eventually ripped off to reveal it was Sasaki all along. The match itself had Strange Love Connection and DAMNATION T.A all fighting each other around rubber pools filled with inflatable crocodiles. Hideki Okatani briefly disappeared only to return with somebody dressed in a horse costume. That was somehow the difference maker.
There were other Iron Man Title changes that happened earlier on the show. Daichi Sato rolled up his partner Koroku and got a three count but because he was also holding Bunbun at the time, Yukinori Matsui declared it was Bunbun who pinned Koroku and was now the champion! Antonio Honda later fought Bunbun during the actual match and pinned the puppet with the Tenzan Tombstone Driver. Koroku then submitted Honda to win back the belt and held onto it until Hammer Hirata’s attack during the main event.
Rukiya was in the corner coaching and cheering on Hinata Kasai for Kasai’s match with Yuki Ueno. Sadly it did not result in Kasai getting his first victory. At the end of the show Kasai and Rukiya looked like they were going to fight each other but instead they embraced and bowed to the fans.
