BAKA GAIJIN + FRIENDS/MYSTERY WRESTLING “MYSTERY WRESTLING X BAKA GAIJIN + FRIENDS”, 17/03/2026 Tokyo ARENA Shimokitazawa ??? Fans – Unannounced
1. Baliyan Akki & Mei Suruga defeated Dark King Ueki & Princess Ram (w/ Munek) when Suruga pinned Ueki after the Dolphin Press (10:50).
2. HADDY & Junior Benito defeated Antonio Honda & Trans-Am ★ Hiroshi when HADDY submitted Honda with the Crossface (10:25).
3. MAO defeated Fuminori Abe with an Side School Boy (12:55).
4. Chris Brookes & El Phantasmo defeated Evil Uno & Kikutaro when Phantasmo pinned Uno with the CR II onto the Plastic Box filled with firecrackers (20:44).
Evil Uno did not come alone for his latest tour of Japan. He brought along some buddies from Mystery Wrestling to be the “Friends” in Baka Gaijin + Friends this month! The two wacky wrestling promotions joined forces for a joint show and Chris Brookes personally welcomed Uno to ARENA Shimokitazawa. The two would face off in a main event tag match with mystery partners. Brookes expected Uno’s partner to be a Canadian wrestler but couldn’t guess who because the other Canadians who travelled over had already wrestled on the undercard. Uno couldn’t afford that but had a friend in Japan willing to team with him. It was Kikutaro! Uno also expected Brookes to have a Japanese tag partner except Brookes admitted he got a Canadian wrestler instead… El Phantasmo! The match was chaotic and full of nonsense that ended up bringing in plastic boxes and firecrackers. Brookes filled up one box with the firecrackers and ELP smashed Uno through it with the CR II to win the match. Brookes then sprayed everyone with a fire extinguisher after the match.
MAO and Fuminori Abe didn’t want to blow the roof off with their match but they almost fell through it! They fought their way outside the building up to the roof where there is a glass ceiling overlooking ARENA Shimokitazawa. They carefully put each other in submission holds while avoiding taking any impactful steps onto the glass. They made their way back down to the room safe and sound but now MAO wanted to try and make Abe throw up. A Thrust Kick to the stomach made Abe gag out some fluid and go double over, allowing MAO to cradle him with an Onryo Clutch to get the win.
The two other Mystery Wrestling talents involved in the show were HADDY & Junior Benito. No matter what experiences they had in Mystery Wrestling before, they had to expect the unexpected against Antonio Honda & Trans-Am ★ Hiroshi. Or in this case they had to expect the expected because when does Honda wrestle a match without ever doing a Gongitsune joke these days? Honda told his joke in English so they could understand but they still got their eyes poked after it. Things went wrong for Honda & Hiroshi when their Double Bionic Elbow spot hit each other instead of their opponents. HADDY took advantage and pulled Honda down into the Crossface to make him tap out.
Mystery Wrestling has also worked with ChocoPro in the past so it was only fitting for the BestBros to have a match on this show. Baliyan Akki & Mei Suruga had to not only fight off Dark King Ueki & Princess Ram but had to worry about the injured Munek interfering with his magic spells. And by magic spells I mean hitting Akki in the back with his crutch. Kaichow dealt with that by grabbing the magic wand off Munek to redirect one of his spells into Ueki and she then snapped the wand in half. The BestBros then pinned Ueki with the Dolphin Press which is impressive given the very tight space inside that bar.

DDT “DDT X MOP WRESTLE TOUR 2026 IN MITSUI OUTLET TAMA MINAMIOSAWA”, 28/03/2026 Tokyo Mitsui Outlet Park Tama Minamiosawa
1. MOP Tag Team Titles: X & X Vs X & X
A new business deal has been put together this year for DDT to hold wrestling shows at different Mitsui Outlet Park shopping centers. As part of this deal a new championship has been created to be exclusively defended at these shows. The inaugural MOP Tag Team Champions will be crowned at the first show being held at the end of the month. There will be at least two other shows as part of the tour happening in April.

1. Special Single Match: YOH Vs Antonio Honda
2. DDT Extreme Title: To-y (c) Vs X
3. KO-D Openweight Title: Yuki Ueno (c) Vs X
One of the memorable interactions that happened at last year’s Toru Yano Vs Super Sasadango Machine one match show was Antonio Honda and YOH bonding over a Gongitsune joke. YOH has a hatred of foxes going back to when he was bitten by one as a child but Honda got him to join in with telling the joke. Now almost one year later they will meet in the ring again, this time one on one against each other in a wrestling match!
DDT “YAMADA SUISAN CO., LTD. PRESENTS GATHERING! THE THREE UNAGI SIBLINGS! ~IN ONE POND~”, 19/04/2026 Kagoshima Shibushi City “Unagi Station” Special Venue
1. Gathering! The Three Unagi Siblings! ~In One Pond~ Special 6-Man Tag Match: Unagi Mask, Super Unagi Mask & Unagi Mask Woman Vs Aja Kong, Chris Brookes & Antonio Honda
DDT also has their sponsorship with Yamada Suisan going on for another year. The seafood wrestling storyline has taken a turn with the appearance of Unagi Mask Woman. She was said to be just a Yamada Suisan employee who wanted to become a pro wrestler but the real story is that she, Unagi Mask and Super Unagi Mask are all siblings who spent their lives near each other without ever knowing about it! The family needs to be a united force because Chris Brookes & Antonio Honda have formed an alliance with Aja Kong to wipe out the sea food loving wrestlers!

9. DDT Extreme Title: To-y (c) Vs Hideki Okatani
10. DDT Universal Title: Daisuke Sasaki (c) Vs Kazuma Sumi
11. KO-D Openweight Title: Yuki Ueno (c) Vs KANON
Thirteen matches in total will fill up five hours at Korakuen Hall later this month. DDT is celebrating the 29th Anniversary of its creation and hopes are growing high that something big will be in store for their 30th. But we’re getting ahead of ourselves with that one. Almost every one of DDT’s championships will be defended (the KO-D 10-Man Tag Team Titles are being left out in the cold), future challengers for some of the belts will be set up and there is also the debut of Masami Inahata to look forward to.
It’s all going easy for paleyouth. I only took them a few days to win the KO-D 6-Man Tag Team Titles after the unit was created. They also don’t have to wait long for their first defence. Harimao are stepping up to the plate with Kazusada Higuchi standing by to support his buddies.
The Iron Man Heavymetalweight Title is currently in quite the predicament. Antonio Honda won the title only to lose it to Hisaya Imabayashi because the DDT GM does not trust Honda enough to beat YOH on 15th April. That match made Imabayashi paranoid that the belt would end up in New Japan’s hands and DDT cannot afford to ever let that happen again. However now he has to defend the title against six opponents and it won’t be in a Battle Royal. It is going to be a Handicap Match instead! The only hope he has is if the opposing team cannot get along and end up falling apart because of it. That could happen if Minoru Suzuki is in a particularly sour mood that day. Sanshiro Takagi does not often inspire a lot of loyalty among his wrestlers either, as a teammate or a boss.
A growing tag team between Shinya Aoki & Junta Miyawaki that is built out of respect and admiration could soon see them get rewarded for their efforts. If they can beat Chris Brookes & HARASHIMA then they will become the No. 1 Contenders for the KO-D Tag Team Titles. Otherwise it will be the FANTÔMES DRAMATIC pair who will get the next shot.
The good news for Evil Uno is this appearance on a DDT show in Korakuen Hall cannot be as humiliating for him as the first one. The bad news is he will likely end up with more bruises because The Apex will be his opponents.
TOKYO JOSHI PRO “GRAND PRINCESS ’26”, 29/03/2026 Tokyo Ryogoku Kokugikan
1. Uta Takami Vs Shion Kanzaki
2. Iron Man Heavymetalweight Title – Staggered Entry Battle Royal: Hisaya Imabayashi (c) Vs Sumire Uesaka Vs Rika Tatsumi/Great Wakabayashi-kun Vs Raku Vs Mahiro Kiryu Vs Mifu Ashida Vs Kira Summer Vs Chika Nanase Vs Sakura Hattori Vs Matcha Vs Momo Sato Vs Minimo (w/ Mari Yaguchi)

10. Princess Of Princess Title: Miu Watanabe (c) Vs Yuki Arai
Close-up images of the new Princess Championship belts have been revealed by Tokyo Joshi Pro. They will be on display at Sunday’s TJPW show but will not be given out to the champions until the Sumo Hall show.
In an unfortunate turn of events, TNA have told Tokyo Joshi Pro that Lei Ying Lee is unable to take part at their Sumo Hall show and her scheduled trip to Japan has been cancelled. Despite having the booking placed well in advance, TJPW were unable to convince TNA to change their decision. Instead, TNA provided TJPW with a statement that claims neither TJPW nor Lee are to blame over the situation. As best as I can tell, TNA have their “SACRIFICE” special as well as a TV taping happening in New Orleans during the same weekend as “GRAND PRINCESS ’26”. So if Lee is needed for the TV taping on the Saturday then she definitely can’t make it to Tokyo in time for TJPW on the Sunday. The time difference probably makes it too difficult for her to start travelling on the Friday night too. Plus there’s also the general travel risks from going in and out of America that’s currently happening right now that could be playing a part in this situation.
TJPW were quick to announce Lee’s replacement after they put that news out. They put out an offer to Marvelous to secure the TJPW debut of Takumi Iroha! She will be teaming up with Sareee which means their tag team Spark Rush is coming to TJPW! Miyu Yamashita was already excited to fight Sareee again but now she is salivating over the chance to fight Iroha too. Arisu Endo doesn’t want to be left out of the action and says she will shine the brightest out of anyone in the match!
The recent Iron Man Title changes have an effect on this card too. Rika Tatsumi is no longer the champion but she is still in the match. The deal with this Battle Royal is whoever holds the Iron Man Title must take part in the match, which means the DDT GM Hisaya Imabayashi could potentially defend the belt in Sumo Hall on a TJPW show! He never gets to beat Tetsuya Koda in the ring but a moral victory like this would be huge in their professional rivalry.
Another thing with the Battle Royal is TJPW have asked fans not to throw streamers for the entrances due to the nature of the match. However Minimo-chan has made requests for streamers from the fans to celebrate the mascot’s debut wrestling match. After a couple of discussions, TJPW decided that Minimo-chan will enter the match first and will be the only participant allowed to get streamers during the entrance.
Oh, and I almost forgot. Remember how Koda was told to go find a big star for the show but couldn’t do it? Well luck sort of fell on his lap. He accompanied Shion Kanzaki for her day of street performances in Shinjuku to promote the show. All of a sudden Koda was ambushed by the Sumire Uesaka, a voice actress and singer who once performed a solo concert at Sumo Hall ten years ago! She was armed with a saber and assaulted Koda with it in a way that reminded Tokyo Sports of Tiger Jeet Singh attacking Antonio Inoki in the same city back in 1973! Uehara appeared to be in a rage because she once held the Iron Man Title for a brief time last year and wants to be part of the Battle Royal to win it back! After Kanzaki stopped the incident and Uehara calmed down, she explained to Tokyo Sports that she was meant to grab her umbrella as she was leaving her home but grabbed the mysterious saber instead. She felt a sudden urge of fighting spirit overcome her but does not remember anything that happened after that.
DDT “ICHIKABACHIKA 2026”, 11/03/2026 Shinjuku FACE ??? Fans – Unannounced
0. Dark Match – Tokyo Joshi Pro Offer Match: Rika Tatsumi & Uta Takami defeated Yuki Kamifuku & Kira Summer when Tatsumi pinned Summer with the Missile Hip (10:17).

1. Special 6-Man Tag Match: Shinya Aoki, Junta Miyawaki & Viento Maligno defeated Chris Brookes, Kota Sekifuda & Hinata Kasai when Aoki pinned Kasai with the Aoki Clutc (10:05).
2. HARASHIMA & Antonio Honda defeated Jun Akiyama & Kazuki Hirata when Honda pinned Hirata after the Somato from HARASHIMA (7:34).
-. Iron Man Heavymetalweight Title: Hisaya Imabayashi defeated Antonio Honda (c) with a Belt Strike (7:34 pm). *Hisaya Imabayashi becomes the 1,810th champion.
3. Kazuma Sumi, Naomi Yoshimura, Ryota Nakatsu & Yuki Ishida defeated Daisuke Sasaki, Hideki Okatani, MJ Paul & Ilusion when Yoshimura pinned Ilusion with the Harai-goshi (10:12).
4. Special 6-Man Tag Match: Shishamo Power, Unagi Mask & Gota Ihashi defeated Yuki Iino, Yukio Naya & Tomomitsu Matsunaga when Shishamo pinned Matsunaga with the Fisher’s Buster (9:33).
5. KO-D Tag Team Titles: MAO & KANON (c) (w/ KIMIHIRO) defeated Danshoku Dieno & Super Sasadango Machine when KANON pinned Dieno with the Lariat (18:47). *V4 for STRANGE LOVE CONNECTION.
6. KO-D 6-Man Tag Team Titles: Takeshi Masada, Yuya Koroku & Daichi Sato defeated Yuki Ueno, To-y & Kaisei Takechi (c) when Masada pinned Takechi with the Masada No Chikara KOBU Mukimuki (18:25). *Yuki Ueno, To-y & Kaisei Takechi fail in V3. paleyouth become the 60th KO-D 6-Man Tag Team Champions!
The new generation is on a roll, paleyouth have already become champions and they’ve done it at Kaisei Takechi’s expense! Takechi & The 37KAMIINA almost wiped out the challengers completely with a triple Topé Con Hilo. They then targeted Takeshi Masada by having Takechi & To-y Double Choke Slam him followed by Yuki Ueno landing the Frog Splash. However Yuya Koroku went ahead and took out Ueno & To-y, then Daichi Sato helped Masada bring down Takechi. Masada then got to beat Takechi for the first time by giving him the Masada No Chikara KOBU Mukimuki to win the KO-D 6-Man Tag Team Titles!
After the match, Masada praised Takechi for growing so much and said whenever they fight each other they click so well. When the former champions made their exit, paleyouth quickly found out who their first challengers were going to be. Harimao walked out and Naomi Yoshimura said he, Ryota Nakatsu & Yuki Ishida wanted a title shot. Masada called Harimao a perfect match for paleyouth and he accepts the challenge for 22nd March at DDT’s 28th Anniversary show. Backstage Masada was happy with the recent turn of events. paleyouth was only made official a few days ago and they already won a championship and he got to avenge his previous losses to Takechi too. Meanwhile Takechi said he was frustrated over losing a second match in a row and he actually feels a little insulted by Masada’s praise for him. Ueno reminded him of his goal to wrestle in King Of DDT and also at Sumo Hall later this year. He is sure Takechi will get there.
Any hopes that Danshoku Dieno & Super Sasadango Machine had of CyberAgent exploiting their likenesses for trading cards and gacha games have gone out the window after the pair failed to win the KO-D Tag Team Titles. Instead it is Strange Love Connection that are currently in the better position to become the faces of DDT. KANON in particular got the brunt of the lewd attacks from the followers yet he figured out how to turn the tide against them. He pulled down his own costume to fight in his underwear and resist Dieno’s Raw Danshoku Claw before taking him down with the Lariat for the victory. KANON told everyone afterwards he has exposed everything about himself and has nothing left to show because he wants to become the new icon of DDT. Today he has beaten two DDT icons so now he must beat the biggest icon Ueno to become the new KO-D Openweight Champion!
The return of the Yamada Suisan pro wrestlers sets up DDT’s annual sponsored matches with the seafood company for this year. Shishamo Power & Unagi Mask teamed up with Gota Ihashi to win their match then had an announcement to make afterward. Ihashi works for the Tsukiji branch of Yamada Suisan and he met a woman there who wants to become a pro wrestler. A masked woman named Unagi Mask Woman entered the ring and did the splits to pose for everyone. However her big moment was interrupted by Chris Brookes & Antonio Honda attacking Ihashi until Super Unagi Mask came to the rescue. Honda challanged the seafood wrestlers to a match and told them that Aja Kong will be teaming with FANTÔMES DRAMATIC! The president of Yamada Suisan then had a shocking confession to make. The three masked wrestlers are all siblings who were seperated at birth! The “Unagi Brothers” must now join forces to face Kong & FANTÔMES DRAMATIC on 19th April. Ihashi complained about being left out so he was offered a chance to team with Shishamo Power on the same show.
After spending such a long time away from DDT, the Iron Man Heavymetalweight Title has come back home. At least for now. Antonio Honda caused a scene after the Tokyo Joshi Pro dark match by attacking everyone with Gongitsune and winning the belt off of Rika Tatsumi. Then later in the show Honda was told by Hisaya Imabayashi that he will face YOH on 15th April. Honda said he will look forward to defending the Iron Man Title against him but then he was suddenly blindsided by Imabayashi! The GM knocked out Honda with the title and pinned him to become the champion, explaining afterward that he cannot risk losing a DDT championship to a New Japan wrestler. Imabayashi was then approached by Akito at the end of the show because a special match was being booked for 22nd March. Imabayashi must defend the title in a 1 Vs 6 Handicap Match and one of his opponents will be Minoru Suzuki! Imabayashi complained especially since Akito was making decisions involving the DDT GM without being a GM himself. Akito told him that company directors are above company general managers. Sanshiro Takagi then tried to ambush Imabayashi to win the title but Akito broke the pin and allowed Imabayashi to escape with the belt.
The Iron Man Title changes today created a bit of a problem for the upcoming schedule. The belt is meant to be on the line in a Battle Royal at TJPW’s Sumo Hall show at the end of the month. It turns out that is still going to happen, which means if Imabayashi somehow survives the DDT Anniversary show still as champion he will then get to defend the belt at Sumo Hall on a TJPW show! When Imabayashi learned about that scenario being possible, he became motivated to hold onto the title as best as he can until 29th March.
A No. 1 Contenders match for the KO-D Tag Titles was later announced for 22nd March. Chris Brookes & HARASHIMA will face Shinya Aoki & Junta Miyawaki. The winners will face MAO & KANON for the tag titles on 5th April.
A new championship has been created exclusively for a series of sponsored shows DDT will run in conjunction with the Matsui Outlet Park later this year. The first MOP Tag Team Champions will be crowned on 28th March. After that there are two other DDT x MOP shows scheduled for April where presumably a title defence or two can take place there.
1. Tomomitsu Matsunaga & Yuni defeated Naomi Yoshimura & Hinata Kasai when Yuni pinned Kasai with he Jorge Clutch (9:46).
2. Jun Akiyama, Danshoku Dieno & Kazuki Hirata Vs Chris Brookes, HARASHIMA & Antonio Honda turned into a Handicap Match.
2a. 7 Vs 1 Handicap Match: Chris Brookes, HARASHIMA, Antonio Honda, Jun Akiyama, Danshoku Dieno, Kazuki Hirata & Takashi Yamaguchi defeated Hisaya Imabayashi when Yamaguchi pinned Imabayashi (9:15).
3. Takeshi Masada & Yuya Koroku defeated Daichi Kazato & Rukiya when Masada pinned Rukiya with the Manburi (11:15).
4. Special 8-Man Tag Match: Daisuke Sasaki, Hideki Okatani, MJ Paul & Ilusion defeated Shinya Aoki, Yukio Naya, Junta Miyawaki & Kazuma Sumi when Sasaki pinned Sumi with a School Boy Counter (10:55).
5. Special Tag Match: KANON & Viento Maligno (w/ KIMIHIRO) defeated Yuki Ueno & Akito when KANON pinned Akito with the Lariat (15:49).
6. DDT Extreme Title – Soccer Vs Sumo! Mixed Martial Arts “ITACHI” Rules: To-y (c) defeated Yuki Ishida with the Kojima Impact (14:04). *V7 for To-y.
Both To-y and Yuki Ishida delved into their different athletic backgrounds for the DDT Extreme Title match. The rules were Soccer Vs Sumo where items relating to either sport were allowed to be used as weapons. It even extended over to how they looked because To-y was wearing a complete football kit while Ishida wrestled in a mawashi. To-y used a soccer ball, football boots and shin guards as weapons to overcome Ishida force feeding him salt. When he was done defending the DDT Extreme Title, To-y told the fans he is going to make every venue move with excitement because he is the real deal.
However as he was heading back to the locker room, Hideki Okatani attacked him in an ambush. Okatani then accused him of having title matches against old wrestlers to inflate his defence numbers. Since To-y hasn’t nominated a new challenger, Okatani demanded the next title shot for 22nd March. A furious To-y accepted the challenge and pointed out some of his challengers so far have not been old folks. He’s going to earn his happy ending of breaking the record for most Extreme Title defences!
With another win under his belt, KANON wants to know if Yuki Ueno is finally thinking about him? He appreciates Ueno’s goal of bringing DDT to the Tokyo Dome but KANON himself isn’t that interested. He would rather just win the KO-D Openweight Title and go prove that DDT is the strongest. Ueno responded by Dropkicking KANON in the face and criticised his remarks. Later on KANON said that Dropkick flipped a switch in his head and Ueno better get the KO-D Title polished for their title match on 22nd March.
After hitting the highs of winning the D GENERATIONS CUP last week, Kazuma Sumi was sent crashing back down to Earth. Daisuke Sasaki along with the rest of DAMNATION T.A gave Sumi a beating. Then when Sumi made a comeback leading into the use of a School Boy pin, Sasaki rolled himself back on top of Sumi and held him down for the pinfall. Sasaki told Sumi after the match that pro wrestling isn’t a kid’s game and the DGC was made up of weak kids, any of whom could have won the tournament. As the DDT Universal Champion, Sasaki said he is at the level as high as the building’s ceiling while Sumi is way down at the ground level. For that reason he wants Sumi to give up his challenge so the Universal Title can be defended against someone better. Sumi admitted he wasn’t even close to winning today but the DGC was never his end goal. He knows he has no future unless he can beat DDT’s top wrestlers and he is confident it will happen at Korakuen Hall on 22nd March.
There doesn’t seem to be an official name yet for the new unit Takeshi Masada and Yuya Koroku are making but since it is being built around the D GENERATIONS, the show report on DDT’s site refers to them as the New Generation Army. After Masada & Koroku won their match against Daichi Kazato & Rukiya they invited the two of them to join the new group. Rukiya politely declined because he wants to continue fighting them as an opponent rather than become their stablemate. Sato however decided to shake their hands and join the new group. Masada then announced the three of them will go challenge for the KO-D 6-Man Tag Team Titles.
A long serving member of the DDT staff will be leaving the company today. Takashi Yamaguchi worked several different roles in DDT during the six years he’s been employed so Hisaya Imabayashi wanted to give him the gift of a serious and passionate pro wrestling match for his last show. Unfortunately that request was for the match featuring Kazuki Hirata, Danshoku Dieno and Antonio Honda. Imabayashi kept interrupting the bout whenever one of them did their usual tricks. However Yamaguchi had enough of the interruptions and told Imabayashi he wanted to see all of the comedy spots because that’s why he loves DDT! He then put the GM in a Sleeper Hold so the wrestlers could wrestle without restrictions. Imabayashi was thrown face first into Dieno’s Hell Gate to the tune of “TOKYO GO!” The same then happened to Yamaguchi, who fell on top of Imabayashi. Everyone then counted the pin along with the referee and the match was declared all of them the winners in what had become a Handicap Match against Imabayashi.

BAKA GAIJIN + FRIENDS “VOL. 28: BIG BEAT FROM BADSVILLE”, 24/02/2026 Tokyo ARENA Shimokitazawa ??? Fans
1. Special Single Match: Chris Brookes defeated Yuta Oya by Referee Stoppage with the House Piano Death (10:47).
2. Special Single Match: HARASHIMA defeated Kota Sekifuda with the Somato (15:12).
3. Chie Koishikawa, Mr. Bueno & Mr. Malo defeated Dark King Ueki, Princess Ram & Square Kong (w/ Munek) when Malo pinned Ueki after the Mexico Vacation (16:16).
4. Wasabi Cream Puff Death Match: Antonio Honda Vs Miyu Yamashita ended in a Draw after both of them ate a Wasabi Cream Puff (13:22).
Miyu Yamashita was in for a shock when she made her Baka Gaijin + Friends debut. Antonio Honda told her before the main event they they would fight in the dreaded Wasabi Cream Puff Death Match! After every two count fall, the wrestler who was pinned must eat a random cream puff taken from a pan. If it turns out to be a cream puff filled with wasabi (and everyone will be able to tell very easily by the reaction), the wrestler will lose. The environment reminded Yamashita of her early days as a wrestler fighting in small idol concert venues. So when Honda wound himself up for the Bionic Elbow, Yamashita joined in by doing her old Dschinghis Khan dance (the Berryz Kobo version). After a few close calls, the match unexpectedly ended in a draw when Honda and Yamashita tied each other up in a Backslide Pin and both were pinned. They then each ate a cream puff and immediately fled out of the room in despair because it turned out there was wasabi in both of them!
Even though Munek was unable to wrestle due to injury, he still wanted Ueki’s Magic Kingdom to find a princess and hold them hostage. They were easily stopped by the other team. So Dark King Ueki quickly summoned a new ally, an ape named Square Kong! The newcomer went on a rampage until Mr. Bueno slapped him with his glove over and over. Bueno then made his team form a Gundam with Chie Koishikawa so the Magic Kingdom did the same with Princess Ram on top. The Gundam duel went well for Bueno’s team until Munek cast an invisible carrier for them to walk into. At one point during the match Mr. Malo had his poncho pulled over his head. When it was taken off he had is black mask back on and he started fighting his opponents like a rudo. Meanwhile Ueki & Kong ate bananas to power themselves up during the match, including a star banana that Munek gave to Kong that made him strong enough to pull out a barrel and attack the others with it! Bueno & Koishikawa used the barrel against Kong to wipe him out. The match then reached its end when Bueno & Malo did an assisted Codebreaker double team move called the Mexico Vacation onto Ueki.
In some of Kota Sekifuda’s previous Baka Gaijin appearances he would bring along his pet snake to use in his matches. However yesterday he was booked for an All Japan show and they banned him from bringing his snake along, which meant he wasn’t able to bring the snake over to this show either. It resulted in his match with HARASHIMA being a more serious back and forth with both men chopping each other’s chests red. Sekifuda used an Overhead Kick on HARASHIMA but the roll up afterwards ended up with HARASHIMA getting back to his feet and hitting a short range Somato. He then ran across the room to hit a more traditional Somato for the victory.
The big match of the day was put in the opening bout position. Chris Brookes had wanted to wrestle Yuta Oya after hearing the story of him becoming a pro wrestler despite being completely blind. Given the small space of the venue, Oya was capable of fighting Brookes from close range so his lack of sight was not a detriment. He had Chop exchanges with Brookes and got to slam him onto the floor a few times too. Oya also took some Penalty Kicks before catching one so he could Lariat Brookes for a nearfall. Brookes almost beat him with a Piledriver and had to wrap himself around Oya with the Octopus Hold, pulling him down into the House Piano Death until Daisuke Kiso called for the bell and stopped the match. Brookes told everyone that Oya did not give up just like Oya has not given up in life. Oya said he will be going back to wrestle in Nagoya and he will keep training so he can come back to wrestle in Tokyo again.
At the end of the show Brookes had an announcement to make. Today was Sekifuda’s last appearance in Baka Gaijin + Friends! Sekifuda was confused and asked what did Brookes mean by that? Brookes said Sekifuda has lost all of his matches since coming here and isn’t popular judging by how much merch he sells at shows. Brookes also took offence to Sekifuda acting like he is part of the group by pretending he was gifted a Baka Gaijin hoodie when he really just bought one online! Honda assured Sekifuda that as a freelancer he has the ability to respond to this in his own way. Sekifuda decided he will run his own produced show on 19th June in Itabashi! He then asked if he could book Brookes on the show as a way of thanking him for the Baka Gaijin bookings. Brookes doesn’t want to do it alone so he agreed to it if Honda gets booked too. Sekifuda accepted and already knows what match to book. Brookes & Honda will face Hideyoshi Kamitani & Daichi Hashimoto in a battle between FANTÔMES DRAMATIC and Big Japan! Brookes was happy with the idea and decided Sekifuda will be allowed back into Baka Gaijin.
The next Baka Gaijin show will take place on 17th March as a joint show with Evil Uno and Mystery Wrestling.
DDT “HYBRID PERFORMER 2026 ~KAISEI TAKECHI 2ND ANNIVERSARY~”, 22/02/2026 Tokyo Korakuen Hall ??? Fans – Unannounced
1. Jun Akiyama, Makoto Oishi & Yukio Naya defeated Sanshiro Takagi, Tomomitsu Matsunaga & Ryoma Tsukamoto when Naya pinned Matsunaga with The World’s Best Back Drop (9:11).
2. Chris Brookes, HARASHIMA, Antonio Honda & Hinata Kasai defeated To-y, Toru Owashi, Kazuki Hirata & Yuni when Honda pinned Hirata with the Diving Fist Drop (9:41).
3. Special Tag Match: Shinya Aoki & Junta Miyawaki defeated Yuya Koroku & Rukiya when Miyawaki pinned Rukiya with the Sunshine Clutch (10:32).
4. DAMNATION T.A Vs Harimao!: Naomi Yoshimura, Ryota Nakatsu & Yuki Ishida defeated Daisuke Sasaki, Hideki Okatani & Ilusion (w/ MJ Paul) when Yoshimura pinned Ilusion with the Harai-goshi (10:56).
5. Special 6-Man Tag Match: MAO, KANON & Viento Maligno (w/ KIMIHIRO) defeated Danshoku Dieno, Super Sasadango Machine & Akito when Maligno pinned Akito with the Driver Maligno (10:37).
6. D GENERATIONS CUP 2026 – Final: Kazuma Sumi defeated Takeshi Masada with the School Boy (17:08).
7. Kaisei Takechi 2nd Anniversary Match: Yuki Ueno defeated Kaisei Takechi with WR (20:50).
To celebrate the second anniversary of his pro wrestling debut, Kaisei Takechi asked DDT for a particular opponent he wanted to face one on one. Up until today Yuki Ueno has been supporting Takechi as a tag partner in the majority of the dozen matches he’s had so far. Now Takechi wanted Ueno to be his first singles opponent. The result of this is Ueno has become the first person to make Takechi look up at the lights, handing him his first pinfall defeat. Takechi brought the fight to Ueno from the start, delaying an early rope break and firing Elbow Strikes along with Dropkicks to Ueno. That made Ueno take him more seriously and bring the fight outside the ring. Ueno threw Takechi into a row of chairs but Takechi got his own back by doing a Diving Cross Body above one of the stairways in the seating section. Back in the ring Takechi got close to winning by using the Choke Slam and Swan Dive Forearm. He then went to use a Sleeper Hold but Ueno got out of it to use his own Dropkicks and Elbow Strikes. Takechi couldn’t withstand the punishment for long and he was pinned with the WR.
Ueno congratulated Takechi after the match and if there is anyone out there who thinks Takechi is only doing pro wrestling as a side gig, Ueno wants them to come tell him. He told Takechi he isn’t at the level to compete for the KO-D Openweight Title yet but the next time they have a singles match against each other, Ueno will put the championship on the line. Takechi thanked him for welcoming him into DDT and talked about experiencing more losses than wins since before he even entered the entertainment industry. That has helped make him strong for wrestling. He also said he regrets not entering the King Of DDT tournament last year or appear at “WRESTLE PETER PAN” because of his summer schedule back then. So this year he has opened up his schedule in order to enter the tournament as well as take part in DDT’s big summer show! He will show everyone how much he will evolve until the day comes when the KO-D Title is worn around his waist! Takechi still has may tours with THE RAMPAGE lined up for 2026 but he is hoping to find gap where he can be booked for some of DDT’s shows outside of Tokyo too.
Kazuma Sumi has now been crowned this year’s best wrestler out of D GENERATIONS by winning the D GENERATIONS CUP! The final of the annual tournament’s fourth edition had Sumi beat the first ever winner Takeshi Masada. He relied on big high flying moves such as the Lionsault and Reverse 450 while Masada kept to a more balanced moveset to keep things under his control. It almost worked out for the latter as he used a Dominator to counter a Frankensteiner, then used the Triangle Kick and the Manburi for a nearfall. But when he went to use his finisher, Sumi suddenly flipped out of it and rolled him over with the School Boy lightning fast for the victory!
When Sumi received his trophy he told Masada that the best classmates are those to eat together, practice together and share both the good times and bad together. While they have trained together and experienced hard times, they were never close like that. Masada was always ahead ever since Sumi debuted but it gave Sumi something to chase after and made him work hard enough to become strong. So in a way Masada really is the best classmate Sumi could ever have. Daisuke Sasaki entered the ring to congratulate Sumi and tell him they can have an exciting match on 22nd March when Sumi gets his DDT Universal Title shot as his reward for winning the DGC. Sumi went to shake his hand until Sasaki kicked him between the legs. Sasaki called him stupid and there is zero chance Sumi will win the title from him. When Sumi recovered he said he isn’t a kid anymore and he is incredibly confident he will beat Sasaki for the belt next month. Meanwhile Masada talked to Yuya Koroku backstage about forming a new unit centered around the D GENERATIONS. Koroku agreed to be a part of it and Masada will now go look for other potential members to join.
The newest member of Strange Love Connection has arrived! The masked man Viento Maligno is a newcomer to DDT although some people suspect he may be more familiar to them than they realize. Danshoku Dieno gave him the Danshoku Claw early in the match then paused to give a reaction that suggested he recognized who Maligno is just from feeling his crotch. He didn’t dwell on it for long because he wanted to impress the guest commentator Riki Matsui from BALLISTIK BOYZ and tried to do so by doing lewd things to KANON in the ring. Viento got the hot tag in and used a llave submission on Akito while MAO did a Moonsault onto everyone outside. Viento then got the win by pinning Akito with the Driver Maligno, a move that looks like a Leg Clutch Olympic Slam thrown into a Michinoku Driver.
Dieno got on the microphone after the match to complain because DDT bringing in new wrestlers is making his generation feel disposable. Super Sasadango Machine agreed and wanted to send a message to CyberAgent. Pro wrestlers like them are not supposed to be treated like trading cards or gacha games… but they should be! CyberAgent is responsible for making loads of different card and gacha games so why are the wrestlers belonging to them being left out of being turned into content (don’t listen to Yota Tsuji, he doesn’t know what he’s talking about)? In order to make a more convincing arguement to the corporation, Dieno & Sasadango challenged SLC for the KO-D Tag Team Titles. MAO sort of understands their intentions because they want to work hard together for DDT’s sake so he accepted the challenge for 11th March. KANON then reluctantly shook his opponents’ hands to confirm they have the title shot.
At first it looked like Harimao were going to be in trouble fighting DAMNATION T.A because the numbers game was against them. Sasaki and Hideki Okatani both attacked Yuki Ishida with weapons but Ryota Nakatsu was able to give them more of a fight. Sasaki also threw a chair at Naomi Yoshimura while MJ Paul interfered a couple of times. Ilusion missing the Swanton Bomb gave Yoshimura his second wind while Kazusada Higuchi at ringside finally stepped in to grab Sasaki and then Paul with the Claw Hold at ringside. With the coast clear, Yoshimura threw over Ilusion with the Harai-goshi to get the victory. Harimao were fired up over the win and all said they couldn’t sense any sumo spirit from DAMNATION T.A. Harimao said they will climb higher from here and Nakatsu told the others he can come back for another match in DDT on 2nd March.
So far during his stay Junta Miyawaki is making both friends and enemies in DDT. He looks up to Shinya Aoki and got to team with him today but one of the wrestlers facing him, Rukiya, is getting more frustrated with him every time they fight in the ring. It continued here when Miyawaki pinned him with the Sunshine Clutch, a new cradle pin he created inspired by the Aoki Clutch where it is set up Tiger Suplex style instead of with a Full Nelson. Rukiya didn’t like how smug Miyawaki looked after the match and tried to fight him again until Koroku and others at ringside held him back. Backstage Miyawaki said he can really tell that Aoki enjoys pro wrestling which makes him enjoy wrestling even more too. Aoki though kept asking him if he saw Keigo Nakamura anywhere because that is who he used to team with. Unfortunately, Miyawaki doesn’t know who Nakamura is.
Today was the first time all four members of FANTÔMES DRAMATIC got to team together for an 8-Man Tag match and it turned into a success. Hinata Kasai was called out by Toru Owashi to begin the match then after some lucha spots he wanted to tag in Yuni to let the young blood take the stage. Kazuki Hirata didn’t care and burst in wanting to do his dance instead. Chris Brookes & HARASHIMA took over to fight with Yuni & To-y while Hirata kept trying to get in the way. Antonio Honda did an Olympics joke for Gongitsune, Hirata tried to counter it with dance but fell to a 4-on-1 situation all in tune to “TOKYO GO!”. Honda ended up pinning him with the Diving Fist Drop to give FANTÔMES DRAMATIC the win.
Hirata was made to stay behind after the match because Hisaya Imabayashi wanted to talk to him. The GM had an announcement regarding Hirata’s big match against Konosuke Takeshita happening on 22nd March. For years now Hirata has been using “TOKYO GO!” as his entrance song, even recording his own cover to avoid getting DDT into any copyright trouble. Well now DDT has invited the creator of the song John Robinson to attend the show and perform “TOKYO GO!” live for Hirata’s match entrance! Hirata is thrilled with the news and cannot wait to do the original “Magnum” dance with the actual DJ singing for him.
It’s not that often Makoto Oishi appears in DDT nowadays but he was here today because he is Takechi main mentor who trained him from scratch. It meant he got to wrestle Ryoma Tsukamoto for the first time and experience his strength up close. When that got too overwhelming Oishi tagged in Yukio Naya to give Tsukamoto a more powerful challenge. Tomomitsu Matsunaga had some fun keeping Oishi away from his corner when the going got tough. Sanshiro Takagi was also fired up and attempted a Coast To Coast Dropkick… where he just landed on his feet and then gave Oishi a regular Dropkick in the corner. He also took an Exploder Suplex from Jun Akiyama only to get back up and hit back with a Stunner. Akiyama came back later to Headbutt Matsunaga while Matsunaga had Naya in a Sharpshooter. Naya then purposely Choke Slammed Oishi onto Matsunaga for a near fall. Matsunaga also kicked out of a Running Knee Strike from Naya but was put down for good with The World’s Best Back Drop. Backstage Oishi said once Kaisei Takechi surpasses his then he will become a real pro wrestler.
A new wrestler was announced during the show to have joined DDT as a full time member of the roster. Masami Inahata is a 20 year old wrestler from Toyonaka City, Osaka who was formerly known as Thunder Masami in JTO. He only has a year’s worth of experience under his belt but announced in January he had graduated from his home promotion. What funny timing that this is happening so soon after his older brother Katsumi Inahata (formerly Fire Katsumi) went through a similar path from JTO to NOAH recently. Masami Inahata told the audience he has come to DDT because the company has many wrestlers his age here. His first match in DDT will take place on 22nd March.
When NωA Jr. finished their musical performance at the start of the show, Shunma Katsumata talked about his planned comeback from injury happening on 22nd March. He has someone in mind he wants his first match back to be against. It’s MAO! They have a lot of history together so it will mean a lot to Katsumata for MAO to be his opponent. MAO acted like he was going to attack his friend but instead he shook his hand and welcomed him back. He also said one of the reasons he left The 37KAMIINA was so he could fight Katsumata but the ACL injury happened to Katsumata before that could happen. MAO told him never to skip a match like that again and he’ll see him on 22nd March.
DDT “NEXT STEP GAME 2026”, 04/02/2026 Shinjuku FACE ??? Fans – Unannounced
1. D GENERATIONS CUP 2026 – B Block: Yuya Koroku (6) defeated Hinata Kasai (0) with the Modified Triangle Lancer (9:43).
2. D GENERATIONS CUP 2026 – B Block: Takeshi Masada (4) defeated Yuni (2) with the Manburi (9:53).
3. Jun Akiyama & Danshoku Dieno Vs Toru Owashi & Kazuki Hirata ended in a No Contest when Hisaya Imabayashi stopped the match (0:20).
3a. 2 Vs 3 Handicap Match: Jun Akiyama & Danshoku Dieno defeated Toru Owashi, Kazuki Hirata & Hisaya Imabayashi when Akiyama submitted Imabayashi with the Exploder Intimidation (7:17).
4. 3 Way 6-Man Tag Match: Daisuke Sasaki, Hideki Okatani & MJ Paul defeated Chris Brookes, HARASHIMA & Antonio Honda and Akito, Junta Miyawaki & Yuki Ishida when Okatani pinned Honda with the Claymore (12:14).
5. Special 6-Man Tag Match: MAO, KANON & Yukio Naya defeated Yuki Ueno, Shinya Aoki & Tomomitsu Matsunaga when KANON pinned Matsunaga with a Lariat (13:01).
6. D GENERATIONS CUP 2026 – A Block: Ilusion (2) defeated To-y (3) with the Swanton Bomb (12:42).
7. D GENERATIONS CUP 2026 – A Block: Kazuma Sumi (4) defeated Daichi Sato (4) with the School Boy (12:39).
So far any concerns on if The Apex will get along with Strange Love Connection can be put to rest. Yukio Naya got along with MAO & KANON, even taking some instructions from them to set up their teamwork. The other story of the match was KANON locking horns with Yuki Ueno. When their exchange ended without a clear winner, MAO and Shinya Aoki took over. KANON got back into the swing of things getting into a Lariat clash with Tomomitsu Matsunaga. In the end, KANON’s Lariat was stronger and he got to win the match with the move. After the match KANON talked about his first few months with DDT where he joined DAMNATION T.A and became really cocky. He changed his tune when Ueno gave him his first loss in the company and over the last four years he’s been wanting to beat Ueno ever since. Ueno lost his temper and told KANON to stop lying. KANON then said Ueno knows nothing about him so he’s going to fill up Ueno’s head until he thinks about nothing else but KANON!
A freak accident at the start of the 3 Way trios match led to the uncommon sight of blood in a DDT ring. As Daisuke Sasaki took off his jacket, he whipped it right into the side of Antonio Honda’s head as part of a DAMNATION T.A ambush. The studs on the jacket must have caused some deep scratches because when Honda reappeared in the ring a few minutes later the side of his head had large bloodstains that were clear for everyone to see. The other members of FANTÔMES DRAMATIC bandaged him up with a towel while he was setting up his Gongitsune speech.
Hisaya Imabayashi had sold 50 tickets of the show to some of his acquaintances in the theater business so he asked Danshoku Dieno to instantly beat Kazuki Hirata so he could get angry at them and impress his colleagues. Hirata however didn’t want to lose and wouldn’t lay down so for once he wasn’t actually pinned for the three count immediately. Imabayashi stopped the match anyway to complain about not being able to complain. Hirata convinced him that if he wanted to look cool, he should join the match and make it 3 Vs 2! The GM agreed, siding with Hirata & Toru Owashi to face Dieno & Jun Akiyama for the restart. He immediately lost his courage but finally entered the match to give Dieno an STO. When Akiyama tagged in, Imabayashi psyched himself to give him some Elbow Strikes and a few Stunners. He wasn’t strong enough to give Akiyama an STO so Akiyama gave him a Headbutt and Running Knee Strike instead. Imabayashi kicked out of the pin so Akiyama decided to set up the Exploder Suplex. That caused Imabayashi to instantly give up out of fear.
Over at the D GENERATIONS CUP the two blocks are heading towards the finish line. Kazuma Sumi showed he is still in the race by beating Daichi Sato in the main event. He tried to School Boy him a bunch during the middle of the match but then resorted to using a Rolling Elbow and a High Kick. Those moves left Sato stunned for long enough to make the School Boy and effective way to beat him. Sumi wants to reach the final because his goal for the year is to win the DGC, then win the DDT Universal Title and after that win King Of DDT! Meanwhile To-y suffered a setback by losing to Ilusion, giving the masked heel a victory in his final match of the tournament. When chairshots didn’t have the intended effect, Ilusion used a ref bump to give To-y a Low Blow. He then wrapped some of the KO-D 10-Man Tag Team Title belts around his body and landed a Coffin Drop onto To-y for extra damage. With that done, Ilusion then got the win by doing the Swanton Bomb without the belts.
The B Block might end up with Yuya Koroku going through as the clear winner of all of his matches. He is now three for three after beating Hinata Kasai. He wants to achieve a perfect record in order to push the limit and raise the level of D GENERATIONS even higher. If that happens, Koroku thinks that may be what it takes to get DDT to the Tokyo Dome. He’s not in the clear yet though. Takeshi Masada ended any hope Yuni has of reaching the final in the B Block to keep himself in the chase. Masada is now in the position to beat Koroku to win the block and he thinks that will be easy to do even when he is all by himself.

A big shift is happening in DDT now that The Apex has joined Strange Love Connection, turning SLC from a tag team into a growing unit. The change it has for this show isn’t as big though. It’s just Yukio Naya and Rukiya swapping teams now that Naya calls MAO & KANON his allies.
DDT “NEPPA OVER FLOWERS 5 ~THE ONLY SAUNA IN THE WORLD~”, 14/02/2026 Shinjuku FACE
1. Special Single Match: Minoru Suzuki Vs To-y
The main event of The 37KAMIINA’s annual Valentine’s Day show has been announced. To-y is going to fight Minoru Suzuki! To-y is probably going to get murdered by Suzuki too.
Both Yuki Ueno and MAO will be wrestling on the show. Also Shunma Katsumata will be there taking on several roles from show producer to ring announcer to Sauna Health Advisor.
DDT “REMBRANDT HIGHWAY SERIES 2026 ~AYU COLISEUM IN ATSUGI~”, 15/02/2026 Kanagawa Rembrandt Hotel Atsugi Grand Banquet Sagami
1. Kazuki Hirata Vs Rukiya
2. Naomi Yoshimura & Yuni Vs Hideki Okatani & Ilusion
3. To-y, Takeshi Masada & Yuya Koroku Vs Yuki Ishida, Kazuma Sumi & Hinata Kasai

5. Special Tag Match: Yuki Ueno & Jun Akiyama Vs Chris Brookes & Antonio Honda
6. O-40 Title – 4 Way Match: Daisuke Sasaki (c) Vs HARASHIMA Vs Danshoku Dieno Vs Tomomitsu Matsunaga
The grand plan to create a DDT Triple Crown didn’t work out for Daisuke Sasaki but he is now a double champion. His first defence for the DDT Universal Title hasn’t been decided yet but if it was up to him it would be against Ueno. Instead he has to go defend the O-40 Title in a 4 Way Match against HARASHIMA, Danshoku Dieno and Tomomitsu Matsunaga. Given what pro wrestling is like nowadays I doubt this is the oldest lineup a 4 Way Match has ever had.
DDT “HYBRID PERFORMER 2026 ~KAISEI TAKECHI 2ND ANNIVERSARY~”, 22/02/2026 Tokyo Korakuen Hall
1. D GENERATIONS CUP 2026 – Final: Winner Of Block A Vs Winner Of Block B
2. Special 6-Man Tag Match: MAO, KANON & X (w/ KIMIHIRO) Vs Danshoku Dieno, Super Sasadango Machine & Akito
3. Kaisei Takechi 2nd Anniversary Match: Yuki Ueno Vs Kaisei Takechi
SLC have even more members coming to join the team. MAO was already planning to reveal their new stablemate before The Apex offered to join them. I think Kazuma Sumi would be the perfect choice given that he already fits in with MAO & KANON from previous tag matches and he has a little bit of history teaming up with The Apex as well.
BAKA GAIJIN + FRIENDS “VOL. 28: BIG BEAT FROM BADSVILLE”, 24/02/2026 Tokyo ARENA Shimokitazawa
1. Special Single Match: Antonio Honda Vs Miyu Yamashita
2. Special Single Match: Chris Brookes Vs Yuta Oya
Chris Brookes was feeling down over his recent championship defeats but a brand new opponent emerging in Baka Gaijin + Friends has cheered him up. Yuta Oya is from Sportiva Entertainment and only debuted in July 2024 which made headlines because he is blind. He had cancer as a child that resulted in his right eye being removed and radiation therapy being needed to save his left eye. He had taken up judo in school and wanted to become a pro wrestler but had to give up that dream when he eventually lost sight in his left eye and became fully blind. He was then diagnosed with bladder cancer in his early 30s which made him want to become a pro wrestler to teach his son you need the determination to never give up while pursuing what you love.
Also making their Baka Gaijin debut next month is Miyu Yamashita! She has teamed up with Antonio Honda before, the most important time being the match against Kenny Omega & Riho at “ULTIMATE PARTY 2019”. This will be the first time Yamashita and Honda will be opponents.
DDT “JUDGEMENT 2026 ~29TH ANNIVERSARY CELEBRATION 5 HOUR SPECIAL~”, 22/03/2026 Tokyo Korakuen Hall
1. Dramatic Dream Match: KONOSUKE TAKESHITA Vs Kazuki Hirata
2. KO-D Openweight Title: Yuki Ueno (c) Vs KANON
The DDT 29th Anniversary main event has been set. Yuki Ueno defends the KO-D Openweight Title against KANON in a match that has more history behind it than it looks on the surface. When KANON joined DDT in 2022 his first loss in the company was to Ueno in that year’s King Of DDT tournament. KANON wants to get revenge on that loss while also taking the company’s top prize as somebody who has grown to love DDT. Ueno remembers that match and he also remembers all of the times KANON tried to hurt him as a member of DAMNATION T.A. Will the build up to this match result in fresh bad blood between them or will cooler heads prevail to focus on the big prize?
Meanwhile Kazuki Hirata is getting the biggest opponent DDT can throw at him and he doesn’t like it. Can he pull off an even bigger miracle than winning the KO-D Title last year by beating Konosuke Takeshita all by himself? I mean if Yota Tsuji can do it then Hirata certainly can. Right?
TOKYO JOSHI PRO “GRAND PRINCESS ’26”, 29/03/2026 Tokyo Ryogoku Kokugikan
1. Special Tag Match: Yuka Sakazaki & KONOSUKE TAKESHITA Vs Hyper Misao & Super Sasadango Machine
2. Princess Of Princess Title: Miu Watanabe (c) Vs Yuki Arai
Look, even Super Sasadango Machine is surprised that the mystery team isn’t Shingo Takagi & Natsupoi. Instead Sasadango is being dragged into the match by Hyper Misao because she thinks a pairing as incomprehensible as them is what it will take to beat Yuka Sakazaki & Takeshita. Also Misao wants to get contracts from DDT, TJPW, AEW and New Japan all at the same time. She thinks winning this match will help her achieve that goal.
Natsume Nakayama from OCHA NORMA will be at the show as a special guest commentator. She does not seem to be the celebrity wrestler that Tetsuya Koda has been tasked with finding to be a big draw for the show.

Dramatic DDT
