Tsukamoto’s Trial, Momo Sato’s Debut, Baka Gaijin In Nagoya

July 1, 2026

BASARA “BASARA 310 ~OJI NI KITSUNE 30~”, 05/07/2026
Tokyo Oji BASEMENT MONSTAR

1. Oosugi Army Vs Senga Army: X Vs X

There is a BASARA doubleshot taking place this Sunday but the first show from it is a bit of a mystery. It is only being advertised as a team challenge between the two wrestlers from Speed Of Sounds. One side will be captained by Tsutomu Oosugi while the other is captained by Banana Senga. Both team lineups are currently a mystery but you might be able to figure out who will be there based on the below card for Show #2.

BASARA “BASARA 311 ~OJI NI KITSUNE 31~”, 05/07/2026
Tokyo Oji BASEMENT MONSTAR

1. Trans-Am ★ Hiroshi Vs Baliyan Akki
2. Takato Nakano Vs Takeru Inoue
3. Masato Kamino & Seiya Morohashi Vs Tsutomu Oosugi & Banana Senga
4. 7 Match Trial Series: Takumi Tsukamoto Vs Ryota Nakatsu, Isami Kodaka, FUMA, Daichi Kazato, SAGAT, Daiki Shimomura & Lil’ Kraken

In order for Takumi Tsukamoto prepare for his Union MAX Title shot, he will be running through a gauntlet of seven wrestlers in a series of speedy matches. Each match only has a 3 minute time limit but Tsukamoto’s next opponent will enter the ring as soon as the previous match had ended. So there won’t be much time for Tsukamoto to catch his breath in between opponents. This isn’t happening at one of the All You Can Drink shows either so I don’t think he can get a hydration break either.

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “SUMMER SUN PRINCESS ’26”, 18/07/2026
Tokyo Korakuen Hall

1. Momo Sato Debut Match: Momo Sato Vs X
2. Shin Sakura Katsushika Hirota, HIMAWARI & Mifu Ashida Vs Raku, Pom Harajuku & Chika Nanase
3. Aja Kong Vs Arisu Endo
4. Yuki Kamifuku, Kumadori & Sakura Hattori Vs Sanshiro Takagi, Yumehito Imanari & Mahiro Kiryu
5. International Princess Title: Suzume (c) Vs Wakana Uehara
6. Princess Tag Team Titles: Miu Watanabe & Rika Tatsumi (c) Vs Shoko Nakajima & Hyper Misao
7. Princess Of Princess Title: Yuki Arai (c) Vs Miyu Yamashita

With Yuki Kamifuku planning to retire at the end of the year, she has been promised a retirement road of matches to remember. First up is an absolutely unusual looking trios match featuring people Kamifuku would consider friends, mentors and possibly people she might find handsome. She is friends with Kumadori and Mahiro Kiryu, looks up to Sanshiro Takagi as a father figure and thinks Yumehito Imanari is good looking. She also thinks Sakura Hattori could do with meeting some new people to keep her company.

The newest idol to make her pro debut with Tokyo Joshi Pro is the Harajuku LAND idol Momo Sato. She was born in Kanagawa on 5th January, 2011 and stands 157cm tall. She already wrestled in TJPW back in March as part of the Iron Man Heavymetalweight Title Battle Royal when Sanshiro Takagi scouted her. She was discovered because her brother Daichi Sato already wrestles in DDT and she became interested in following his footsteps. She intends to be a full time member of TJPW although there will be some shows missed because of her idol duties as well as her school studies.

BAKA GAIJIN + FRIENDS “VOL. 32: SO GLAD FOR THE MADNESS”, 19/07/2026
Nagoya Sportiva Arena

1. Special Tag Match: Chris Brookes & Yuta Oya Vs Mr. Bueno & Mr. Malo

The next Baka Gaijin + Friends show will be in a new location for them, the Sportiva Arena in Nagoya. Welcoming them will by Yuta Oya, the blind wrestler who previously fought against Brookes back in February. Mr. Bueno & Mr. Malo will be their opponents after Bueno demanded he be told in advance what his next match will be. He believes he should know this stuff in advance because he is the BK-G Openweight Champion.

BAKA GAIJIN + FRIENDS “VOL. 31: SUSPENDED ANIMATION” Results

June 30, 2026

BAKA GAIJIN + FRIENDS “VOL. 31: SUSPENDED ANIMATION”, 30/06/2026
Tokyo ARENA Shimokitazawa
??? Fans – Unannounced

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.

DDT “KING OF KINGS 2026 ~TENKA TAIRAN~” Results

June 28, 2026

DDT “KING OF KINGS 2026 ~TENKA TAIRAN~”, 28/06/2026
Tokyo Korakuen Hall
??? Fans – Unannounced

0. Dark Match: Junta Miyawaki & Viento Levante defeated Akito & Miles Karu when Miyawaki pinned Karu with the Sunshine Driver (7:26).

3. STRANGE LOVE CONNECTION Vs The 37KAMIINA!: KANON & Yuki Iino (w/ KIMIHIRO & YUZUKI) defeated Shunma Katsumata & To-y when Iino pinned To-y with a Lariat (7:49).
-. Iron Man Heavymetalweight Title: KIMIHIRO defeated Shunma Katsumata (c) by Submission (12:24 pm).
*KIMIHIRO becomes the 1,836th champion.
4. Special 6-Man Tag Match: Takeshi Masada, Yuya Koroku & Daichi Sato defeated Kazuma Sumi, Yuni & Kumadori when Sato pinned Yuni with a Rolling Elbow Butt (9:44).
5. No Referee Match: MAO defeated Sanshiro Takagi with the Cannonball 450 through the Plastic Case (12:31).
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.

BASARA “BASARA 309 ~UTAGE~”, 23/06/2026
Shin-Kiba 1st RING

1. Union MAX Title Next Challenger Tournament Block A – Semi Final: Takumi Tsukamoto Vs Daiki Shimomura
2. Union MAX Title Next Challenger Tournament Block B – Semi Final: FUMA Vs Lil’ Kraken
3. Isami Kodaka, SAGAT & Minoru Fujita Vs Takato Nakano, Masato Kamino & Takeru Inoue
4. 3 Way 6-Man Tag Match: Ryota Nakatsu, Daichi Kazato & Seiya Morohashi Vs Trans-Am ★ Hiroshi, Tsutomu Oosugi & Banana Senga Vs Shuji Ishikawa, Yasu Urano & Gouma Ryu
5. Union MAX Title Next Challenger Tournament – Final: Winner Of Block A Vs Winner Of Block B

I can’t imagine BASARA will be doing another tournament later this summer. The semi finals and final happens tomorrow.

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 “OWARI WARS 2026” Results

June 21, 2026

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.

DDT “OWARI WARS 2026”, 21/06/2026
Aichi Chunichi Hall & Conference
??? Fans – Unannounced

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 Skewered 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…

DDT “TROPICAL NANIWAN SUMMER 2026” Results

June 20, 2026

DDT “TROPICAL NANIWAN SUMMER 2026”, 20/06/2026
Osaka Azalea Taisho Hall
??? Fans – Unannounced

1. Yuki Ishida defeated Hinata Kasai with the Flame Palm (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 Skewered 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 At Wrestle Magic, Yuki Iino Wins NOAH Tag League With Manabu Soya

June 16, 2026

MONDAY MAGIC “WRESTLE MAGIC 2026”, 15/06/2026
Tokyo Korakuen Hall
??? Fans – Unannounced

4. HAYATA, Riiita & MAO defeated Rich Port Ayala, Rhys Alexios & Danny Duggan when MAO pinned Duggan with the Osaka Rinkai Upper (14:07).
7. Zack Sabre Jr., Luis Mante & Chris Brookes defeated Kaito Kiyomiya, Titus Alexander & Archie Cole when Sabre submitted Cole with the Modified Octopus Hold (26:22).

It’s back to the mystical world of Monday Magic where I can’t tell what’s going through NOSAWA Rongai’s mind sometimes. For every bizarre decision he makes like booking a dozen unknown foreign wrestlers there are moments of really good ideas like getting the new Hayabusa to team up with Great Sasuke and Ultimo Dragon. Today DDT had some of their wrestlers appear on the latest season finale. Chris Brookes was in the main event teaming up with Zack Sabre Jr. once more and this time including Luis Mante to the deal. Their opponents are the three wrestlers NOSAWA has decided to build his brand around. No joke but Kaito Kiyomiya, Titus Alexander & Archie Cole are being called the MAGIC Three Musketeers! Brookes, Sabre & Mante were put together as a team because NOSAWA considers them the “Three Musketeers” of DDT, New Japan and Dragon Gate. In the late stages of the match Kiyomiya, Alexander, Brookes and Mante all took each other out with their big moves. Sabre blocked a Moonsault from Cole with his knees and sent him through an agonizing series of submission holds until Cole gave up to the Octopus Hold.

The other DDT wrestler to show up was MAO. He got to team with HAYATA from NOAH and Riita from Dragon Gate for the first time ever. Facing them was an international trio of wrestlers: Rich Port Ayala from Puerto Rico along with English wrestlers Rhys Alexios & Danny Duggan. They had Sonny Onoo in their corner for the match if you’re wondering just who is booking the foreign talent for Monday Magic. MAO scored the win for his team and he said he enjoyed the experience because he may never get to wrestle with HAYATA & Riiita again.

NOAH “Mercari Presents NEO GLOBAL TAG LEAGUE 2026”, 16/06/2026
Tokyo Korakuen Hall
1,009 Fans

6. NEO-GTL 2026 Special: Tetsuya Naito, BUSHI, Kaito Kiyomiya & KENTA defeated Masa Kitamiya, Takashi Sugiura, Tetsuya Endo & HAYATA when Naito pinned HAYATA with an Inside Cradle (10:39).
7. Mercari Presents NEO GLOBAL TAG LEAGUE 2026 – Final: Manabu Soya & Yuki Iino defeated Karl Anderson & Doc Gallows when Soya pinned Gallows after the Jonetsu IS (25:55).

I’m already burned out from writing the article about Daisuke Sasaki in Best Of The Super Jr. so I’m not doing a full tournament report on Yuki Iino in the NEO GLOBAL TAG LEAGUE. But that won’t take away from the fact that Iino won the tournament with Manabu Soya as his partner! The two of them entered together as Jonetsu MAX and they topped Block B with four wins out of five matches and a total of eight points. In the grand final they faced The Good Brothers. Fueled by the power of passion, Soya & Iino took out Doc Gallows with a Double Brainbuster and then used the Jonetsu IS (Big Ending/Running DDT combo) on Karl Anderson to become the tournament champions! Their rewards is a GHC Tag Team Titles match against Los Tranquilos de Japon coming up on 25th June.

There isn’t much to write about Tetsuya Endo’s match on the show. What should be talked about is he has a GHC Heavyweight Title shot coming up on 25th June. If he can beat Shane Haste then he will achieve his goal of adding his name to the lineage of past GHC Champions!

DDT “YOKOHAMA NIGHT SPLASH 2026” Results

June 13, 2026

DDT “YOKOHAMA NIGHT SPLASH 2026”, 13/06/2026
Yokohama Radiant Hall
??? Fans – Unannounced

1. Ilusion defeated Kazuki Hirata with the Bombo Claat (8:51).
2. Takeshi Masada, Yuya Koroku & Daichi Sato defeated Danshoku Dieno, KANON & Kazuki Hirata when Koroku submitted Hirata with an Arm Lock With Anal (11:05).
-. Iron Man Heavymetalweight Title: Takeshi Masada defeated Yuya Koroku (c) with an Inside Cradle (6:04 pm).
*Takeshi Masada becomes the 1,824th champion.
3. Daisuke Sasaki, Hideki Okatani & MJ Paul defeated MAO, Yukio Naya & Viento Levante (w/ KIMIHIRO) when Okatani pinned Levante with the Vertical Drop Brainbuster (12:44).
4. Special Single Match: Jun Akiyama defeated Antonio Honda with the Exploder Suplex (11:54).
-. Iron Man Heavymetalweight Title: Yuya Koroku defeated Takeshi Masada (c) with an Inside Cradle (6:39 pm).
*Yuya Koroku becomes the 1,825th champion.
-. Iron Man Heavymetalweight Title: Kazuki Hirata defeated Yuya Koroku (c) with a Hammer Attack (6:41 pm).
*Kazuki Hirata becomes the 1,826th champion.
5. Special 6-Man Tag Match: Shinya Aoki, Junta Miyawaki & Yuki Ishida defeated Yuki Ueno, Naomi Yoshimura & Rukiya when Aoki pinned Rukiya with a Cradle (13:56).
6. FANTÔMES DRAMATIC Vs The 37KAMIINA!: Chris Brookes & HARASHIMA defeated Shunma Katsumata & To-y when HARASHIMA pinned Katsumata with the Somato (13:52).

This upcoming week is a special one for Chris Brookes because it will be the 7th anniversary of his DDT debut. In today’s main event his Piledriver to Shunma Katsumata is what set HARASHIMA up to win the match using the Somato. He then spat at To-y after the match causing a fight to break out between them until they were pulled apart. When things calmed down, Brookes talked about his amazing seven years with DDT and promised to stay for another seven or ten or twenty years or even forever! To-y went to the commentary booth acting as To-y from the future. His past self is furious over being spit on but he calmed his past self down and said he will win the KO-D Tag Team Titles. He then left and his “past” self returned to say he is now motivated to win the titles.

Shinya Aoki claims he was one step ahead of Yuki Ueno today. However since Ueno won the previous prelim match, Ueno thinks they are currently tied. The two shook hands and promised to show the fans something amazing for their KO-D Openweight Title match.

The latest adventures of the Iron Man Heavymetalweight Title are taking a dark turn. When Yuya Koroku won the title the other members of paleyouth acted as bodyguards for him. However today Takeshi Masada betrayed him by jamming his fingers into Koroku’s mouth to distract him for a roll up. Koroku chased Masada around the arena and they made it back to the ring where Koroku got his revenge. He did the same thing Masada did to him so he could become the champion again. But as Koroku walked away from the ring, Kazuki Hirata suddenly appeared in his brooding “Hammer Hirata” persona where he looks a lot like HAYATA from NOAH. Hirata knocked out Koroku with his hammer and pinned him to be champion once more. With his trusty hammer in his grip, Hirata is warning everyone to stay out of his way so he can go to Sumo Hall as the Iron Man Champion and win the bullet train pass!

The contract has been signed for the DDT Extreme Title match between Hideki Okatani and Junta Miyawaki. Okatani decided it is going to be a Hardcore I Quit Match. The match can only end when one wrestler surrenders or if they get so severely injured that they cannot speak then the referee can declare a TKO. Okatani knows this will be Miyawaki’s first time doing a Hardcore match so he hopes he will enjoy it to the fullest but he also chose the rule because he wants to see Miyawaki surrender. Miyawaki is open to the idea and understands he has the disadvantage because his wrestling style is built around pinning opponents, not submitting them. However he claims to have learned submission holds in Mexico and can show everyone a different side of him during this match.

2. DDT Extreme Title: Hideki Okatani (c) Vs Junta Miyawaki
3. KO-D Tag Team Titles: Chris Brookes & HARASHIMA (c) Vs Yuki Ueno & To-y

Has To-y figured out the key to beating Brookes is to annoy the hell out of him? He’s going around calling himself the Prince Of Nagoya who comes from the future where he and Yuki Ueno win the KO-D Tag Titles from Brookes & HARASHIMA. Brookes is quickly getting fed up with his wacky behavior.

There will be a post about Daisuke Sasaki and his Best Of The Super Jr. adventure next week but he is returning to DDT with a losing record in the tournament. However Ilusion has gotten him and MJ Paul a chance to win the KO-D 6-Man Tag Team Titles again so DAMNATION T.A can increase their current collection of championships to ten belts.

DDT “KING OF KINGS ~TENKA TAIRAN~”, 28/06/2026
Tokyo Korakuen Hall

0. Dark Match: Junta Miyawaki & Viento Maligno Vs Akito & Miles Karu
1. The 37KAMIINA Vs STRANGE LOVE CONNECTION!: Shunma Katsumata & To-y Vs KANON & Yuki Iino (w/ KIMIHIRO)
2. FANTÔMES DRAMATIC Vs DAMNATION T.A!: Chris Brookes, HARASHIMA, Antonio Honda & Hinata Kasai Vs Daisuke Sasaki, Hideki Okatani, MJ Paul & Ilusion

5. Special 6-Man Tag Match: Minoru Suzuki, Danshoku Dieno & Kazuki Hirata Vs Jun Akiyama, Rukiya & Masami Inahata
6. Special Single Match: Sanshiro Takagi Vs MAO
7. KO-D Openweight Title: Yuki Ueno (c) Vs Shinya Aoki

There is just so much energy coming out of Sanshiro Takagi with his return to the ring and he wants to use it against someone he hasn’t fought in a singles match in a while. The last time Takagi fought MAO one on one was in New York back in 2019 (ignoring the Baka Gaijin + Friends universe where Takagi Sanshirobo fought Tyrannosaurus Inoue).

We have one more Minoru Suzuki appearance to wrap up the King Of DDT arc. Too bad for him he has to go team up with Danshoku Dieno & Kazuki Hirata.

The Dropkick Bar is being well represented for Soma Takao’s comeback match. He along with Naomi Yoshimura, Yukio Naya and Yuki Ishida all work there in one form or another.

BAKA GAIJIN + FRIENDS “VOL. 31: SUSPENDED ANIMATION”, 30/06/2026
Tokyo ARENA Shimokitazawa

1. Special Single Match: Chris Brookes Vs Miles Karu

The Japan excursion continues for Miles Karu with a stop by Baka Gaijin + Friends added to his schedule for the end of the month.

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “SUMMER SUN PRINCESS ’26”, 18/07/2026
Tokyo Korakuen Hall

1. Aja Kong Vs Arisu Endo

It’s going to be the thumbs up from Arisu Endo battling against the Uraken fist of Aja Kong.

Also planned to appear on the show are Sakura Hirota and MIRAI.

Kira Summer will not be on the show because she will be spending a month back home in Australia. She will be gone from Tokyo Joshi Pro from 18th July to 16th August but will be wrestling a few times in Australia during that period.

DDT “DDT MY LOVE 2026” Results

June 3, 2026

DDT “DDT MY LOVE 2026”, 03/06/2026
Shinjuku FACE
??? Fans – Unannounced

1. Special Tag Match – 2 Out Of 3 Falls: Sanshiro Takagi & Akito (2) defeated Yuki Ueno & Shunma Katsumata (0).
1a. Standard Rules: Sanshiro Takagi (1) pinned Shunma Katsumata (0) with a Cradle (6:30).
1b. Falls Count Anywhere: Sanshiro Takagi (2) pinned Shunma Katsumata (0) with a Cradle (109:19).
2. 3 Way 6-Man Tag Match: Hideki Okatani, MJ Paul & Ilusion defeated Takeshi Masada, Yuya Koroku & Munetatsu Nakamura and Danshoku Dieno, Naomi Yoshimura & KANON when Ilusion pinned Koroku with a School Boy (9:02).
3. Junta Miyawaki Three Match Trial – Match 2: Junta Miyawaki defeated Kazuki Hirata with a School Boy (10:56).
4. MAO & Yukio Naya (w/ KIMIHIRO) defeated Jun Akiyama & Tomomitsu Matsunaga when MAO pinned Matsunaga after the Charge Love Heart (9:43).
5. Special Single Match: Shinya Aoki defeated Viento Maligno with a Modified Butterfly Lock (11:25).
6. Special 8-Man Tag Match: Chris Brookes, HARASHIMA, Antonio Honda & Hinata Kasai defeated Daichi Sato, To-y, Yuni & Yuki Ishida when Honda pinned Yuni with a Samson Clutch (19:36).

It turns out there was more background to the Shinya Aoki Vs Viento Maligno match than I first thought. Before the King Of DDT tournament began, Aoki allegedly made a prediction that Maligno would unmask and compete in Best Of The Super Jr. so both of them could have a match between tournament winners. Aoki lived up to his end of the idea which is why after he won King Of DDT he called out Maligno and told him everybody knows what he is doing. They had a match today where Maligno tried to counter the Aoki Clutch but Aoki switched over to a Modified Butterfly Lock to make the luchador give up. He then ripped the mask off Maligno’s face to reveal it was Keigo Nakamura the whole time! Nakamura admitted his real identity and explained that he couldn’t adapt to wrestling in Mexico during his excursion. Even now he does not know who he is and his confidence has disappeared after he saw how all of his juniors have surpassed him. However he still gets support from everybody in Strange Love Connection and he wants to become stronger by being with them. Aoki asked him what will he do from now on and who does he want to fight? Nakamura put the mask back on and will continue to wrestle as Viento Maligno because he’s hit rock bottom has nothing else to lose.

The opening match was officially Sanshiro Takagi’s return to action in DDT (as long as you ignore Super Japan). He feels so reenergised from his time off that he asked for the match to be Best 2 Out Of 3 Falls with no time limit applied. The 37KAMIINA agreed and quickly tried to injure him again. However he blocked Shunma Katsumata’s Totonou Splash and then Cradled him to win the first fall. He then declared the 2nd Fall would be Falls Count Anywhere. For the next two hours Takagi, Akito, Yuki Ueno and Katsumata brawled all over Shinjuku FACE and even outside on the street. Since the action was happening away from ringside, DDT decided to go on with the show and it wasn’t until the very end when the opening match returned to the ring and Takagi pinned Katsumata again to win the match in two straight falls.

Takagi said this comeback could not have been possible if it wasn’t for the other wrestlers in the match and he is feeling super pumped about winning. He’s been cheating on DDT a little bit with Super Japan but he thinks DDT is the best and he is super motivated to wrestle here again. There is one guy in particular he wants to wrestle again to reignite his passion even more. It is MAO, who he hasn’t fought against one on one since 2019 in New York! He challenged MAO to a singles match on 28th June. MAO agreed and blamed Takagi for making him the wrestler he is today. So all of the times he tried to run Takagi over with a car is really Takagi’s fault.

Junta Miyawaki’s trial through DDT’s roster is going well with two wins out of two matches so far. He fought and danced with Kazuki Hirata until Hirata was too spent to continue. Before he could be beaten, Hirata got on the microphone and reminisced about the times back when Miyawaki was a NOAH trainee when they would hang out and eat meals together. He couldn’t continue so he asked Miyawaki to complete the dance by himself but it was only so Hirata could roll him up for a nearfall. Miyawaki countered by putting the Hirata GO! glasses on Hirata’s face, forcing him to dance and be vulnerable to be pinned with a School Boy. Afterwards Miyawaki was informed by Hisaya Imabayashi that the third and final match of his trial will happen on 10th June. It will be against Danshoku Dieno! With that announcement, Dieno entered the ring carrying his pet dog Haku in a protective bag. Miyawaki asked if this is a mistake because Dieno is tougher than any other opponent he could imagine. He promised to give it his all becaue this is a once in a lifetime match for him.

A win in the 3 Way Trios match prompted DAMNATION T.A to challenge paleyouth for the KO-D 6-Man Tag Team Titles afterward. Ilusion said his unit is filled with belt collectors and if they take those titles from paleyouth they would then have 10 belts in their collection (DDT Extreme Title with Hideki Okatani, O-40 Title with Daisuke Sasaki and the group has the KO-D 10-Man Tag Team Titles which currently makes seven). Ilusion said the challenging team will be himself, MJ Paul and Sasaki once he comes back from New Japan. The challenge was accepted and will take place on 21st June in Nagoya. Ilusion later made fun of paleyouth being full of old people because only Daichi Sato is younger than him. Takeshi Masada & Yuya Koroku didn’t appreciate being Ilusion calling them old geezers.

A contract signing for the KO-D Tag Team Titles match between FANTÔMES DRAMATIC and The 37KAMIINA took place at the start of the show. One of the challengers To-y unexpectedly announced he is from the future where he wins the title with Yuki Ueno and builds a castle as the Prince Of Nagoya. Chris Brookes lost his patience and kept rushing To-y to finish up his story so the show could continue. To-y ignored him and tried to get Ueno to play along that they are the champions from the future and it is they who are defending the belts instead of Brookes & HARASHIMA. Both Ueno and HARASHIMA tried to keep things on track but Brookes is clearly becoming fed up with To-y’s quirky personality.
