No spoilers or talk about what happened on this April Fool’s Day show was allowed until the clock struck midnight. So for those who weren’t at the show, they had to wait until the next day to hear about Kazuma Sumi & Yuni all of a sudden showing their rebel sides. The show was meant to begin with a performance by NωA Jr. but it was cut off when Sumi & Yuni attacked Shunma Katsumata out of nowhere! The two of them told everyone they didn’t want to be idols anymore and they stormed out of the ring. They reappeared for their match dressed in rebellious clothing with new ring names to boot. They were now Bad Buddy Yuni & Pito Chico Sumi! Their tag match ended in Disqualification after they attacked their opponents with chairs and squeaky toy hammers.

They then reappeared in the 3 Way Tag main event because the theme of the match was every tag team were dressed as some type of delinquent. Their interference caused the match to get thrown out because they attacked the referee and caused more chaos afterward. The match restarted with Yuni & Sumi added as a fourth team. Katsumata (who was dressed as a delinquent schoolgirl by the way) got his revenge on them by pinning Yuni for the victory. Yuki Ueno confessed his love for Katsumata after the match only to start a chain reaction of all the others doing the same. Katsumata turned all of them down for Yuni and the two embraced. However Sumi suddenly got jealous and he tried to stab Yuni with an umbrella. He missed though and stabbed Katsumata instead by accident! Katsumata wished the two of them to be happy together and then died. Everyone sang a song to revive him and the show ended with everyone safe and sound. That was until Ueno approached Katsumata backstage and stabbed him with the umbrella. Sumi & Yuni revived him again and the three all agreed they should go back to being idols.

Both Kazuki Hirata & To-y had something planned for the show with their only clue being it would resemble a party gathering together underneath the blooming cherry blossoms. They ended up interfering in Match #3 to cost Hinata Kasai a victory against Danshoku Dieno. In that match whenever Dieno gave someone the Lip Lock, the victim would reveal they are wearing Danshoku tights beneath their clothes. It happened to KANON and Yukinori Matsui, turning the two of them into Danshoku zombies. That story was thrown out thanks to Hirata & To-y so it turned into a No DQ tag match where the two of them attacked Dieno, Kasai and the wrestlers standing near ringside with umbrellas and coathangers. However Kasai rallied the other wrestlers to grab To-y and carry him face first into Dieno’s Hell Gate until he gave up. The Lip Lock storyline continued with the victims turning back to normal after bumping heads with each other. It ended when Dieno finally got to give Kasai the Lip Lock.

A dejected Daisuke Sasaki has left Japan to go on tour across North America. He claims he will not return unless he falls in love and gets rejected but it was recently announced that New Japan has booked him for this year’s Best Of The Super Jr. tournament. Either way that leaves DAMNATION T.A currently without their leader. This has somehow led to an army of Fake Daisuke Sasakis appearing on today’s show along with a Nerima Sting. Also MJ Paul turned into Posuke Sasaki. During the match Ilusion would disappear only to return as Daision Sasaki to get the hot tag and win the match for his team. He said that from today onwards he is the new leader of DAMNATION T.A! Later at the end of the show, Sanshiro Takagi appeared also dressed like Daisuke Sasaki. He tried to attack Daision but was given a Low Blow instead. Takagi and Ilusion have a dark match coming up on 15th April and Ilusion keeps ambushing him with Low Blows to build up the match.

The 29th Anniversary of DDT was also the first attempt by KANON to try and win the KO-D Openweight Title. For the weeks leading up to this match, KANON had been winning matches with the Lariat so Yuki Ueno tried to weaken it by hitting KANON’s hand off the corner post early on. KANON would still use the Lariat as an equalizer but then tried using his other moves to win. The Cobra Twist, Sleepy Hollow and LONELY DEZIRES wouldn’t work so he went back to the Lariat. However Ueno’s well time Dropkick to the face helped him to set up the Blackout Sleeper to squeeze the life out of KANON. While he was eventually able to get out of it, KANON was then given the WR to put him down and out.

Ueno told KANON after the match that he’s been thinking about him a lot. He thinks KANON is strong, handsome, kind and also weird. If he wants to make it to the top of DDT he cannot stay the way he is now. KANON needs to show more. Still, Ueno had fun and reminded KANON he’s been part of the DDT family even going back to when he was part of DAMNATION T.A. When he was done, Yuki Iino got into the ring feeling moved by Ueno’s speech. Iino asked for a title match because Ueno was his senior who taught him everything about pro wrestling back when Iino was a trainee. Ueno was also Iino’s first ever opponent. Ueno said he would accept the challenge on the condition that Iino would not immediately attack him after they shake hands. Iino agreed and they shook hands without incident. Ueno then told the fans he will carry the hopes of everybody as DDT moves into its 30th year.

After several failed attempts, Kazuma Sumi solved the puzzle and got to pin Daisuke Sasaki with the School Boy to win the DDT Universal Title! Sasaki targeted his leg from the get-go, including attacking the limb with a chair. A ref bump also led to the other members of DAMNATION T.A interfering on Sasaki’s behalf. Sumi fought against the odds but almost paid big by missing the Reverse 450 Splash. His luck then turned around when DAMNATION T.A interfered again only to backfire on Sasaki when Ilusion accidentally hit him with the chair. From there Sumi tried to pin Sasaki with the School Boy several times. Sasaki caught him in the Crossface Lock only for Sumi to counter it into another School Boy, this time pinning Sasaki down for the three count! Sasaki complained backstage that his “visa” for travelling the world was now taken from him and he’s trying to figure out does this mean he is being banished from the country? He only remembers being hit by a chair so that means Sumi cheated to win! Sasaki will accept his fate for now. He will go abroad, fall in love, get dumped and then come back home.

When Sumi celebrated with the title he said he is so glad he never gave up. He was able to keep going because of everyone’s support. He was then asked to nominated his first challenger for a title defence in Fukuoka on 18th April. Sumi chose Shunma Katsumata because he wants to repay him for all of his kindness ever since he debuted. However Sumi’s way of repaying Katsumata is to surpass him so he is not taking him lightly by putting this title match together. Katsumata agreed to the match and said he is going to treat Sumi as his equal. His way of repaying Sumi will be to crush him and win the Universal Title!

Kazuki Hirata was given the biggest entrance possible by having John Robinson sing him down to the ring with a live performance of “TOKYO GO!” Then after all of that hype, Konosuke Takeshita pinned Hirata in seconds after a Big Boot. A rematch immediately took place but Takeshita won again this time with an Elbow Butt that knocked Hirata out. Hirata begged for another rematch and Takeshita accepted. He even allowed Hirata to only need a 2 Count pin to beat him while Takeshita would need to pin Hirata for a 20 Count! The match began again with those conditions. This time Robinson got involved by stopping Takeshita from attacking Hirata with a chair. He also offered a pair of Hirata GO! glasses but Takeshita destroyed them. Robinson got on the mic to sing “TOKYO GO!” again in order to revive Hirata’s chances. This time Takeshita put on the glasses and started dancing only for Robinson to sneak in and Low Blow Takeshita! Hirata then got in the Miracle One Shot Cradle but Takeshita kicked out at one. Hirata’s comeback was cut off with the Wagamama knee strike but he somehow kicked out at 19! Another Miracle One Shot Cradle was done as a counter for the Raging Fire but Takeshita kicked out at one again. Possibly knowing how close of a call that was, Takeshita flipped Hirata over into the Walls Of Takeshita to win the match by submission instead of pinfall.

After the match Takeshita told Hirata his style of wrestling is one of a kind and it is time for him to become No. 1 in DDT again! He wants Hirata to show him the ultimate Dramatic Dream. Then they can have another rematch where this time Takeshita will need to pin Hirata for a 30 count! After they left the ring, DDT announced that Takeshita will return at “WRESTLE PETER PAN 2026” in Sumo Hall on 11th August for a single match against Kaisei Takechi!

paleyouth got their first KO-D 6-Man Tag Team Titles defence in the bag after beating Harimao today. The challengers were accompanied by Kazusada Higuchi but he stood by and did not get involved. Daichi Sato stood toe to toe with Naomi Yoshimura while Takeshi Masada & Yuya Koroku threw both Ryota Nakatsu & Yuki Ishida away with German Suplexes. The match came down to Masada dodging Ishida’s Flame Palm and then hitting him with two Manburi kicks for the victory.

The champions were then greeted by FANTÔMES DRAMATIC after the match. Chris Brookes, HARASHIMA & Antonio Honda were there to get the next title shot until Honda talked about how dramatic it would be for a team with Hinata Kasai in it to win the titles from paleyouth. Masada asked if Kasai had even won a match yet? Kasai said he hasn’t but that doesn’t mean he cannot get his first win against them! He thinks the best way to celebrate his first win would be to hold championships with the rest of Fandora. All of a sudden, Brookes grabbed Bunbun and threw him into the audience! He went to retrieve him afterwards only to throw him to another part of the room! Masada swore revenge by declaring he will take all of his anger out on Kasai!

As part of the plan to get the Iron Man Heavymetalweight Title from Minoru Suzuki, the opposing team in the Handicap Match took part in Gongitsune training before the match. Their logic is Suzuki’s biggest weakness is his eyeballs so it will be up to Honda to poke them. Hisaya Imabayashi bravely started the match with Suzuki but was left to fight by himself and was almost choked out with the Sleeper Hold. Sanshiro Takagi got into a Chop Battle with Suzuki while Danshoku Dieno stopped him with a Lip Lock. When Honda’s attempts at Gongitsune kept on failing, Suzuki got on the microphone to ask everyone how long is DDT going to keep doing this kind of pro wrestling? This is the kind of pro wrestling that makes New Japan wrestlers look down on them! He called Takagi the root of all evil but then admitted to having good memories with everyone in the ring with him. Honda finally poked him in the eye with Gongitsune during the speech but Suzuki didn’t react. He revealed he had trained his eyeballs in anticipation for this match! Honda charged up Gongitsune by using Dieno’s Hell Gate but Suzuki blocked it by stealing Imabayashi’s glasses and putting them on to act as a shield. Suzuki then fought off Toru Owashi & Super Sasadango Machine but was caught with the Stunner by Takagi. Suzuki resisted the impact at first but soon ran out of energy and collapsed to the match. Everyone piled on top of him to get the pinfall but Daisuke Kiso declared afterward that it was Imabayashi’s glasses that pinned Suzuki which means the Glasses are now the Iron Man Champion! Later at the end of the show Honda found the glasses over at the timekeeper’s table and destroyed them to be declared the new champion.

The rule for the DDT Extreme Title match was Yukinori Matsui had to wear a helmet with a button attached to it on his head. If To-y or Hideki Okatani pressed the button, they would then need to make Matsui laugh during a staring contest. Succeeding in that would allow them to use a bamboo sword as a legal weapon for one minute. To-y was eager to follow those rules while Okatani was not in the humour to mess around like that. When he kept ignoring the rule, Matsui told Okatani he wants him to make him laugh. Okatani finally obliged and made a funny face to make Matsui collapse in laughter. Okatani then whacked To-y over the head with the bamboo stick and pinned him with the Vertical Drop Brainbuster to become the new Extreme Champion.

After the match KIMIHIRO appeared at the entrance to make an introduction for Yukio Naya. When Naya got into the ring he told Okatani that “extreme” means big so he’s going to use his size to take the Extreme Title from him! Okatani called Naya arrogant but accepted his challenge for 15th April. According to him, just because Naya is big doesn’t mean he can beat Okatani to win the title. Meanwhile To-y accepted defeat and praised Okatani for being the star of the match even though he expected Okatani would remain as a supporting character.

Fandora have another championship match to look forward to soon. Brookes & HARASHIMA teamed up against Shinya Aoki & Junta Miyawaki to determine the No. 1 Contenders for the KO-D Tag Team Titles. Miyawaki almost had HARASHIMA beat with the Sunshine Clutch but Brookes broke up the pin. HARASHIMA fired himself back up to put Miyawaki on the defensive and used the Somato on Aoki to knock him off the ring apron. Meanwhile Brookes gave Miyawaki a Piledriver, rolling him into position for another Somato to give Fandora the win. Backstage HARASHIMA said they knew their opponents had moves that could beat them regardless of how much stamina they had so it was up to their own teamwork to get past any close calls and win.

It was 29th June, 2025 when Shunma Katsumata last wrestled a proper match. Now after spending the last nine months rehabilitating from a torn ACL he was back in action and wrestling his good friend MAO. They wasted no time in setting their pace and MAO even broke a few plastic boxes in the process. Katsumata went for the Totonou Splash but MAO blocked it with his knees. Katsumata tried to fire himself back up after taking the Michinoku Driver II but he was put away with a Running Palm Strike afterward. Katsumata spoke about how happy he is to be back in the ring after 265 days. As long as he gets to wrestle like this he will never complain. He might get injured again but he’ll recover and return again no matter how many times it happens! MAO said he hopes this is the last time Katsumata has a comeback match. He and Katsumata will also make sure they will never put themselves in a position where they have to forfeit a championship again.

The 3 Way Tag Match featured the DDT debut of Masami Inahata. He got to start off the match against Kumadori until Ilusion got involved trying to form alliances. When that didn’t work, MJ Paul went on the attack by targeting Makoto Oishi. Inahata got his moment by giving Paul a Brainbuster but Ilusion ruined it by giving Inahata a Low Blow afterward. In the end it was the teamwork of Viento Maligno & Kumadori that won out. Kumadori did a Fosbury Flop onto everyone outside the ring while Maligno pinned Ilusion with his finisher to win. Kumadori liked teaming with Maligno but wishes they could communicate better because Maligno doesn’t seem to understand Japanese. Oishi told Inahata that today is a new beginning for him and he will become even bigger in DDT.

Evil Uno was welcomed back into DDT for a tag match against The Apex. Uno teamed with Akito but the pair of them were overwhelmed by the power of Iino & Naya. One big Spear from Iino to Akito was all it took to end the match. Iino hasn’t been wrestling that much lately but he reminded everyone he is still training hard. Uno said he should be unhappy over the result but the last time he was in DDT he had to kiss Dieno’s butt so today was a much better experience for him.

Jun Akiyama stood before Rukiya as his big challenge in the opening contest. Rukiya tried to deal some damage outside the ring only for Akiyama to do that to him instead. Rukiya was able to rope break his way out of a Crab Hold and he also kicked out of the Exploder Suplex. Akiyama waited patiently to hit him with a Knee Strike before using another Exploder to beat him.

One of the dark matches was put together by Tokyo Joshi Pro to promote “GRAND PRINCESS ’26” taking place at Sumo Hall on 29th March. HIMAWARI, Haru Kazashiro & Chika Nanase went on to beat Toga, Ren Konatsu & Shion Kanzaki. Kazashiro scored the win for her team and got to advertise the show for her post match victory speech.

The other dark match was Yuni taking on Hinata Kasai. As already mentioned earlier, Kasai still has not won a match by himself yet. He tried to submit Yuni with the STF but Yuni got out of it and used the Jorge Clutch out of an Arm Drag to pin him.

The participants for King Of DDT 2026 were revealed during the show. The entries are HARASHIMA, Danshoku Dieno, MAO, Chris Brookes, Yukio Naya, KANON, Takeshi Masada, Hideki Okatani, To-y, Shinya Aoki, Yuya Koroku, Daichi Sato, Kaisei Takechi, Junta Miyawaki, Kazuma Sumi and Minoru Suzuki.


Shinjuku FACE Closing Down This Year, Super Japan You’re Confusing Me

6. KO-D 6-Man Tag Team Titles: Yuki Ueno, To-y & Kaisei Takechi (c) Vs Takeshi Masada, Yuya Koroku & Daichi Sato

Rumours were swirling around yesterday when a Japanese wrestling blog Kakutolog posted a story about Shinjuku FACE possibly shutting down its doors later this year. Sadly, today the venue’s management confirmed that Shinjuku FACE will be closing down on 30th September when their fixed-term lease with the building expires. To say this is a blow for the Japanese wrestling scene is an understatement given how so many wrestling companies are based in Tokyo and have relied on Shinjuku FACE to put on shows that aren’t on the level of Korakuen Hall but are still easy to access deep in the heart of that city. If Korakuen Hall is where you go to get a heat check on a wrestling company, Shinjuku FACE is where you will experience that company’s status quo. It will have a negative effect on the CyberFight promotions for sure because of how often they’ve booked shows in there over the last 20 years.

Kota Sekifuda has been brought in to take the place of the injured Yuni in Match #1.

A little change of pace for the next BASARA show. A Battle Royal will take place and with Shuji Ishikawa taking part, the winner could be likely to get a Union MAX Title shot against him in the future. That’s the only reason I see this match happening.

The Gym Trainer Kotoka is back to fight the ordinary salaryman Munenori Sawa and city council wrestler Hiroshi Yamato. That’s not all, NOSAWA Rongai is now threatening to invade Super Japan with Mummy wrestlers so who know what else is going to happen here. Maybe at the end of the show the fans vote to shut the whole thing down.

By this point Daisuke Sasaki will have started his tour of North America but while he is gone, three fakes of him are going to appear in his place. It will be up to the rest of DAMNATION T.A to deal with them.

DDT “NARAHA TOWN COME ON!!” Results

March 1, 2026

DDT “NARAHA TOWN IMMIGRATION AMBASSADOR (UNOFFICIAL) TO-Y THANKSGIVING SEASON 3 – NARAHA TOWN COME ON!!”, 01/03/2026
Fukushima Naraha Sky Arena

6. Special 6-Man Tag Match: Yuki Ueno, To-y & Akito defeated Chris Brookes, HARASHIMA & Antonio Honda when To-y pinned Honda with the Kojima Impact (22:47).

Hideki Okatani may have spoiled To-y’s moment yesterday but today there was no fear of that happening again. To-y had the rest of The 37KAMIINA around for the main event including Shunma Katsumata as a ringside second (and Yuzutaro the mascot was there too). Katsumata prevented Chris Brookes from using a chair and even hit a dive out of the ring onto FANTÔMES DRAMATIC. With that taken care of, To-y was able to win the match in front of the Naraha crowd. He told the fans they can get back up again and again because they are a town full of energy. Katsumata then announced that today was his last day of being an unofficial immigration ambassador for Naraha Town and he regrets only wrestling here once. To-y felt sorry for him and decided he will not pay off his debt to the town because that would mean he’ll still have to bring DDT back here every year.

MAO was back in Japan after he and Yoshihiko went to wrestle in England a few days earlier. After wrestling Kazuma Sumi today he gave him some advice for his DDT Universal Title match later this month. Sumi has worked hard to earn his D GENERATIONS CUP success and MAO is proud to see how much he has grown. He also told Sumi that Daisuke Sasaki is secretly getting worked up over his upcoming tour of America so that is a weakness Sumi should exploit!

Yuni suffered a left elbow injury during yesterday’s show in Kanagawa and wasn’t able to wrestle. Ilusion took his place in the opening match against Viento Maligno while MJ Paul made up the numbers for DAMNATION T.A in Match #2. Yuni still performed a song with NωA Jr. at the start of the show.

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.

February 22, 2026

DDT “HYBRID PERFORMER 2026 ~KAISEI TAKECHI 2ND ANNIVERSARY~”, 22/02/2026
Tokyo Korakuen Hall
??? Fans – Unannounced

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.

7c. Takeshi Masada defeated Yuya Koroku with the Manburi (9:46).

A Block

1. Kazuma Sumi (6)
2. To-y (5)
3. Daichi Sato (4)
4. Yuki Ishida (3)
5. Ilusion (2)

B Block

1. Takeshi Masada (6)
-. Yuya Koroku (6)
-. Rukiya (6)
4. Yuni (2)
5. Hinata Kasai (0)

The final day of B Block matches ended in a massive stalemate for first place between three wrestlers. Rukiya started off the show with an easy win over Hinata Kasai to reach 6 points, matching the same total as Yuya Koroku. In the main event Koroku just needed to avoid losing to book his place in the final but Takeshi Masada had other ideas. Masada defended himself from Koroku’s gameplan to target his arms and hit the Manburi knee kick twice to win the match, bringing his final score to six points as well. The B Block ended with Rukiya, Koroku and Masada all tied for first place and stuck in a 1-1 record with each other that meant the normal tiebreaker rules could not determine who qualified for the final.

It was up to Akito to make the decision because he was the stand-in GM for Hisaya Imabayashi today. Rather than do a 3 Way match or a game of Rock Paper Scissors, Akito instead decided to do a sumo style playoff where the three wrestlers would compete in alternating singles matches one after the other until one of them won two matches in a row. Rock Paper Scissors was actually used to determine the first match, which was Koroku facing Rukiya. Koroku suffered his second loss in a row, falling to Rukiya’s Running Elbow Butt. In the next match Rukiya hit the same move on Masada followed by the Proto Bomb but Masada found the energy to cradle Rukiya and pin him out of nowhere. That brought things back to Masada Vs Koroku except at this point both men were exhausted. Masada was able to hit the Manburi once more and again beat Koroku, giving him the second win in a row needed to end the playoff and send him into the D GENERATIONS CUP final!

Koroku didn’t like that he lost to Masada but admits his opponent is strong and it made the DGC more exciting, so he will support Masada in the final. The A Block finalist Kazuma Sumi had been watching the whole thing at ringside and confronted Masada in the ring. Sumi said he thinks he is on a roll and is also the most entertaining wrestler from D GENERATIONS. He also made the mistake of saying the final will be held next month and Masada corrected him that 22nd February is this month. Masada also said he is above the level of just being Sumi’s classmate and will show that difference in class at Korakuen Hall on the 22nd.

Sumi was actually given a secret test for his match earlier on the show. He was put in the same match as Danshoku Dieno and Kazuki Hirata only to be told by Akito that he shouldn’t be mixing it up with the “Variety Group” wrestlers. Sumi understood and tried to wrestle a normal, serious match but knew something felt off because that’s not the DDT way. After a brief argument Sumi, Dieno and Hirata all got on the same page and returned to doing their usual comedy bits. Akito got thrown face first into Dieno’s backside and Sumi took part in Hirata’s dance before pinning him with the School Boy. After the match Akito revealed to Sumi this was all a test and he passed! He explained a top DDT wrestler is someone who can always work with the comedy wrestlers in the second match on the card as well as put on good match in the main event. Sumi proved he is more than qualified to do that. Akito then encouraged Sumi to win the DGC final and he will be waiting for him back in Match #2.

Yuni’s 18th birthday is today and Ilusion wanted to ruin it. His “present” was to take one of Yuni’s portraits from the merch table, tarnish it with his own “autographed” message and then rip it apart in front of his opponent. He also stuffed the crumbled up pieces of paper into Yuni’s mouth during one of the heat segments. Yuni’s big comeback at the end of the match was cut off by a chairshot to the back from Hideki Okatani. That gave Ilusion the opening to DDT Yuni and pin him with the Swanton Bomb.

Just like with yesterday, Tomomitsu Matsunaga stepped in to take Junta Miyawaki’s place because Miyawaki is currently feeling unwell.

3. To-y (3)

B Block

1. Yuya Koroku (6)
2. Rukiya (4)
-. Takeshi Masada (4)

5. Hinata Kasai (0)

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.

Double the danger, double the fun. Yuki Ueno had two potential challengers gunning him down for his championships so he decided to put the DDT Universal Title and the KO-D Openweight Title on the line one at a time in an unusual main event. It was a 3 Way Match consisting of two falls. The first had Ueno defending the Universal Title. Daisuke Sasaki wanted to form an alliance with Chris Brookes but it was short lived. Ueno was still at a disadvantage because his injured left leg was targeted by both challengers. Sasaki also had DAMNATION T.A in his corner and despite the other’s attempts to wipe them all out, they became a key factor for how the first fall ended. Sasaki got Brookes trapped in the Crossface Lock and DAMNATION T.A all grabbed onto Ueno to stop him from breaking the hold. Brookes had no choice but to tap out and Sasaki became the new Universal Champion!

Sasaki wasted no time when the second fall began and the KO-D Title became up for grabs. He immediately Speared Ueno through the ropes to the floor then returned to the ring to put Brookes back into the Crossface Lock. Brookes was able to escape and wound up double teaming Ueno with Sasaki by giving the KO-D Champ the Doomsday Device/Double Impact. Ueno got Brookes into the Blackout Sleeper but Ilusion distracted the ref so Sasaki could break the hold with a chair. Ueno got his own back when he turned Sasaki’s standing Crossface attempt on Brookes into the WR that flipped over both men. Ueno’s leg injury almost cost him the KO-D Title because he slipped while climbing the top turnbuckle. Brookes tried to pin Sasaki but both then got squashed by a Frog Splash from Ueno. Brookes was thrown out of the ring and Ueno had no one to stop him from pinning Sasaki with the WR to win the fall and remain KO-D Champion.

Ueno placed the Universal Title in front of Sasaki after the match and admitted he was disappointed overall because he lost one of his championships. He is now even more determined to keep defending the KO-D Title to make up for it. His next defence will be at DDT’s 29th Anniversary show on 22nd March. KIMIHIRO walked out to interrupt Ueno but it was just so he could introduce the man who wants to take DDT’s top spot, KANON! After he entered the ring, KANON explained he’s been with DDT for four years now and every day his love for the company grows. He understands Ueno is feeling a little heartbroken at the moment but he wants to be his next challenger. Ueno accepted the challenge because KANON still sees him as the pinnacle of DDT. However Ueno still remembers everything KANON did to him when he was a member of DAMNATION T.A so he expects KANON to bring everything he’s learned over the last four years into the match. They shook hands until KANON suddenly Clotheslined Ueno! His final message today is he is just that little bit stronger than Ueno. Backstage KANON explained to reporters that the first opponent to beat him after he joined DDT was Ueno so this challenge is going to be his revenge for what happened four years ago!

The show turned out to be a significant one for Strange Love Connection as a whole. They were able to defend the KO-D Tag Team Titles against The Apex and then absorbed the team into their group! Yuki Iino’s recent obsession over MAO couldn’t give him the extra edge in the end. He was able to Spear MAO after seeing Yukio Naya take the Michinoku Driver II but KANON knocked him down with a Lariat and then pinned him with the GURU-GURU Driver. KIMIHIRO and Yuzuki Hoshimoto were both there to congratulate the champs for a job well done after the match.

After the match, KANON told everyone that both teams have been acting like idiots for the last month in order to try and out-do each other. What he learned from this is that idiots are strong people and for that The Apex have earned his respect. Iino called that the ultimate compliment and even though he lost the match, he has now grown to love MAO & KANON! He then asked Naya if they could join SLC? MAO instantly agreed and started to wonder if Iino & Naya should now be called The Apex from STRANGE LOVE CONNECTION (just like THE RAMPAGE from EXILE TRIBE)? Even if they just remain as The Apex, SLC has now upgraded into becoming a unit and they now all want it to become the strongest not only in DDT but the entire pro wrestling world! That’s not all, MAO revealed backstage that he was already planning on introducing a new SLC member next month. He didn’t expect to add two new members today but now SLC is going to become a 5-Man unit! The fifth man will be revealed on 22nd February.

Plans had to change when Kaisei Takechi got a case of pink eye and was unable to wrestle on this show. His role in the big tag match now had to be filled by To-y. He took on the challenge with gusto, bringing the fight to both Konosuke Takeshita & Jun Akiyama while having HARASHIMA help out as his tag partner. Takeshita & Akiyama didn’t shy away from giving him a bashing but that led to To-y finding his inner fire and fighting back, scoring a nearfall on Takeshita with the Kojima Impact. Takeshita put a stop to that with the Last Ride counter of the Kojima In Wonderland followed by a Double Knee Strike with Akiyama. To-y kicked out of that along with the big Elbow Strike afterwards so Takeshita had to hit him with the Wagamama to put To-y away. Later To-y said he wants to keep on fighting even if he may never get another chance to face Takeshita again. But if it does happen he knows he can beat him! Takeshita told him that meeting Akiyama played a role in his current success and he wouldn’t be where he is today without him. So he understands how important it was for To-y to fight him today. He believes To-y will one day inherit his strength just like how he inherited Akiyama’s.

I regret to inform everyone that the “Suzuki Incident” of 2021 was repeated today. While Minoru Suzuki was making his entrance for his match, Danshoku Dieno and Kazuki Hirata jumped the gun and began to wrestle. Dieno then immediately pinned Hirata with the Gaydo Clutch to end the match before Suzuki could even make it to the ring apron. Hisaya Imabayashi was understandably mad because the fans couldn’t sing along to “Kaze Ni Nare”. Suzuki was also annoyed because his entrance was going to take up 80% of the match anyway. The match restarted so Suzuki could do his entrance but this time Super Sasadango Machine tried to jump him. Suzuki immediately pulled him into an Arm Lock to make Sasadango tap out. Now Imabayashi was upset the match ended before Yoshihiko could make it to the ring. He even dared to get into an argument with Suzuki over it without backing down! Another restart took place so Yoshihiko could make an entrance and it even stopped Suzuki from immediately beating Antonio Honda. The match then continued with Dieno and Honda’s usual comedy until Yoshihiko pinned Hirata with the Reincarnation. Suzuki then dragged Yoshihiko along the floor as he left ringside. He remembers beating this thing half to death in Las Vegas almost a year ago. Dieno explained that Suzuki and Yoshihiko are linked together because they understand each other so well. Suzuki doesn’t believe him.

Meanwhile Imabayashi wanted Hirata to stay behind in the ring because he had an announcement to make. Hirata is going to have a singles match with Takeshita on 22nd March! Hirata was not happy with the announcement but talked himself into taking the match. If Takeshita the worldwide star wants to wrestle him then Hirata from Adachi Ward will be ready! He is sure Takeshita will beat him many times over but he promises he will make it hard for Takeshita to do so.

Although Kumadori has settled his feud with Ilusion, he is back in DDT to wrestle DAMNATION T.A some more. Ilusion was still there to give Hideki Okatani & MJ Paul a helping hand. Okatani also attacked Naomi Yoshimura with his bamboo stick until Kumadori came to save the day. With the coast clear, Yoshimura recovered to throw Paul over with the Harai-goshi to put the cheaters back in their place.

To-y being bumped up to the Special Tag Match meant the 10-Man tag was slightly changed. Ryoma Tsukamoto took his place to keep it within the D GENERATIONS scope. The match also featured Irish referee Niall Fox as the official for the match. What’s he doing over there? Anyway the match had NωA Jr. members Kazuma Sumi and Yuni face off against each other, Yuki Ishida pushing others around with his sumo moves, Rukiya trying to give Ilusion the Protobomb, Ilusion attacking Hinata Kasai with a chair and Yuya Koroku then knocking out Ilusion with an Elbow Strike. The match came down to Takeshi Masada and Daichi Sato where Sato caught Masada with the Fire Thunder and then pin him out of nowhere with a Penalty Kick. Backstage Tsukamoto predicted Sato will go on to win the D GENERATIONS CUP completely undefeated.

Not only did Junta Miyawaki got to wrestle his idol Shinya Aoki but he went the distance against him too. They fought to a 15 minute draw in the opening match that was built around joint locks and pinning attempts. After a few close calls, Miyawaki hit a dive out of the ring and got to counter a Sleeper Hold into a Modified Sunshine Driver. Aoki turned the pinfall over though to continue the back and forth action until he was put in a Crab Hold and had to fight to reach the ropes. The two then fought over the Aoki Clutch for the final moments of the match before the bell rang. Miyawaki said he was able to absorb a lot from Aoki today and he still looks up to him despite slapping away Aoki’s handshake in frustration after the match. Aoki praised him for having incredible spirit and determination. He wonders why wrestlers as good as they are were put in the opener? They need to aim higher because he thinks they’re not the kind of wrestlers to be curtain jerking.

All three wrestlers in the upcoming KO-D Openweight and DDT Universal Double Title match were at today’s show to sign their contracts for the bout on 25th January. Daisuke Sasaki complained about Yuki Ueno taking time off to deal with a calf injury. He predicts Ueno will use that as his excuse for losing his championships and tell fans at least it was an exicting match. He also claims to see through Chris Brookes and knows Brookes is going to target Ueno’s weaknesses just like he will. Brookes responded in English and had Antonio Honda interpret for him. He said Ueno having so many championships and attention means the company is not DDT anymore, it is now Dramatic Ueno Team. Brookes wants to change that by taking either or even both titles from him. However Honda’s translation was Brookes thanking Ueno for seeing Honda’s play last year and then telling Sasaki that Aya Ueto is Nerima’s hero, not him. Ueno apologised for the trouble his injury is causing and wants to wrestle right now. He promises he will be fully prepared for the match and there won’t be any excuses if he loses even one championship. He appreciates having opponents like Sasaki and Brookes targeting him.

The main event had Sasaki and Brookes fight each other while Ueno watched on from a distance. Sasaki hit Brookes with a chair and then followed with a Dragon Suplex for Hideki Okatani to finish the job. But HARASHIMA was there to hit Okatani with the Somato, allowing Brookes to then pin him with the Praying Mantis Bomb. After the match Brookes told Ueno that the Dramatic Ueno Team is over. DDT will noew be the Fundora Dream Team! Honda then said Brookes will win both championships at Korakuen Hall and FANTÔMES DRAMATIC will then win even more titles after that. By the end of it all Ueno will have is a sore back! Sasaki later accused Brookes of not looking to be in good shape either. He thinks Brookes will have excuses for losing the title match just like Ueno will so he is putting out an offer. All Sasaki wants is to make Ueno suffer so he and Brookes should team up and take everything from Ueno together so he will have nothing left to do but go freeze to death in a park!

The Apex are as confident as they can be that they will win the KO-D Tag Team Titles back from Strange Love Connection. After Yukio Naya pinned KANON, he told SLC to enjoy being champions for one more week because The Apex will definitely beat them next week. Yuki Iino said he can already see the belts wrapped around their waists again. MAO figured out why KANON lost to Naya today when in the past KANON would normally win against him. Naya’s strengths are he is big and stupid. KANON is big too but not as stupid so MAO thinks KANON will need to act even stupider than that idiot to win next week! MAO can do that on a dime but KANON hasn’t learned how to reach that level yet. MAO promises that a stupid KANON will appear in order to beat The Apex.

The A Block was the focus for today’s D GENERATIONS CUP matches. A time limit draw between To-y and Yuki Ishida means Daichi Sato got to take the top spot by himself after he beat Ilusion. Ishida was seconds away from beating To-y with the Flame Palm but was not in good enough shape to pin him in time before the time expired. To-y is currently in the better position right now because he has only wrestled twice and not lost a match while this was Ishida’s third match and he already has a defeat on his record. To-y still wants a rematch with him though. Sato is now in the driver’s seat with two wins out of two. Ilusion taunted him over his weight and was made to regret it when Sato beat him with a Rolling Elbow Butt.

Before Match #2 began, Kazuki Hirata declared that D GENERATIONS (which he thinks he is a part of) are now the present of DDT and are leading a revolution. Hisaya Imabayashi was convinced by his speech and said he wants to join in so he and another member of staff named Sekizuka purposely interfered during the match, attacking Akito in particular. Even Yukinori Matsui revealed his true colours when he held up on counting pinfalls for Akito. That caused Daisuke Kiso to get into the ring and give Matsui a Dragon Screw. Kiso took over officiating the match, counting fair and square when the D GENERATIONS team won anyway. Imabayashi & Sekizuka joined in the celebration with the winning team afterwards.
