For DDT’s visit to Osaka this weekend they decided to book a series of East Vs West matches based on the different hometowns of every wrestler involved on the card. It was an idea they started last summer and wanted to try again. It led to a strange bedfellows style Elimination Tag Match in the main event. Daisuke Sasaki and Hideki Okatani were on opposite teams but didn’t want to let geography determine who they should team with so Sasaki first tried to take a fall for Okatani and then he purposely threw his own partner HARASHIMA out of the ring to eliminate him. Okatani also betrayed his own team by knocking over KANON with the Claymore Kick so Sasaki could pin him. Kazusada Higuchi got fed up with their behavior and Clotheslined both of them out of the ring for a double elimination. He then got one over on Yuki Ueno by Shoulder Blocking him from the apron to the floor but he got eliminated soon after by Kazuma Sumi kicking him out of the ring. That left Sumi and Antonio Honda as the final two and Sumi pinned Honda with the School Boy to win the match for the West Army. He also got to take Honda’s Right To Challenge Arm Cover in the process. Sumi was so excited over the result he asked if he could become the leader of the West Army. Ueno decided he could have it. Sumi then announced his dream as leader is to have a homecoming show in Tsu City, Mie!

Not all of the matches were West Vs East. Each side provided their own matches on the undercard. The East Army came up with a stipulation where Super Sasadango Machine, MAO and KIMIHIRO all hid biscuit tins around the venue and the first person to find the opponent’s tin and drop it into the ring three times would become the winner. At first the match just resembled a treasure hunt around the room but when it came down to the final points, Sasadango and MAO started wrestling each other over the last tin. KIMIHIRO also got involved in the action when Sasadango lost his temper and tried to fight him. He then wanted to win the match for himself so he turned on MAO by spraying him in the face. While this was happening, Kazuma Sumi showed up to give MAO a Low Blow while Yuki Ueno climbed the top rope and threw some tins into the ring. Ueno then did a Frog Splash onto everyone and was declared the winner. KIMIHIRO then revealed he and Ueno betrayed MAO because they are actually from Kagoshima in the far west of Japan! The rest of the East Army rushed down to the ring and chased them away while Sasadango told them they must avenge MAO.

The West Army match caught the most attention in the lead because it was Jun Akiyama taking on Miyu Yamashita from Tokyo Joshi Pro! Today just so happened to be the 12th Anniversary of Yamashita’s pro debut too. She threw everything she had at Akiyama including the Attitude Adjustment and the Skull Kick but couldn’t put him away with any of those moves. Akiyama hit back with his coveted Knee Strikes as well as the Exploder Suplex but Yamashita also refused to be beaten like that. Akiyama had to pull down his own kneepad and hit Yamashita with a Raw Knee Strike to finally defeat her. He offered to shake her hand after the match but Yamashita brushed it off. She said backstage that she never imagined she would face Akiyama one on one and is incredibly frustrated that she couldn’t win.

Now all four RTC Arm Covers are activated and currently in play. Soma Takao won a 4 Way Match by pinning his ROMANCE DAWN teammate Shota to earn the prize. Shota had given Akito the Frog Splash and was about to win when Takao rolled him up with La Magistral Cradle to steal the win. Takao reminded everyone that at one point last year he held two RTC prizes at the same time but lost both of them. His plan this year is to hold even more all at once and auction them all off at high prices!

Rukiya made his return to the ring after a lengthy injury. He lost his match but that was to be expected. He told everyone he is starting again from scratch and will do his best to catch up with everyone.

DDT “MISEN 2025”, 16/08/2025
Aichi Imaike Gas Hall
??? Fans – Unannounced

1. Chris Brookes, Antonio Honda & Tomomitsu Matsunaga defeated Yuki Ueno, To-y & Kazuma Sumi when Honda pinned To-y with the Japanese Leg Roll Clutch (10:45).
*Antonio Honda wins To-y’s Right To Challenge Anytime Anywhere Arm Cover.
2. Danshoku Dieno, Naomi Yoshimura & Takeshi Masada defeated Soma Takao, Shota & Kazuki Hirata when Yoshimura pinned Shota with the Harai-goshi (10:58).
3. Special Single Match: Akito defeated Ilusion with a European lutch (9:07).
4. Right To Challenge Anytime, Anywhere 3 Way Match: Hideki Okatani defeated Daichi Sato and Yuki Ishida when Okatani pinned Sato with the Skewer Claymore (9:09).
*Hideki Okatani wins the Blue Right To Challenge Anytime Anywhere Arm Cover.
5. Special Tag Match: Jun Akiyama & HARASHIMA defeated Daisuke Sasaki & MJ Paul when HARASHIMA pinned Paul with the Somato (11:33).
6. Special 6-Man Tag Match: Kazusada Higuchi, Yuki Iino & Yukio Naya defeated MAO, KANON & Yuya Koroku (w/ KIMIHIRO) when Higuchi pinned Koroku with the Claw Slam (19:49).

The trio of champions are coming out of the main event all confident that they will defend their titles on 30th August. In fact Yuki Iino is so confident about it he believes Kazusada Higuchi and The Apex will all still be the champions the next time DDT comes back to Nagoya! Yukio Naya joined in by combining The Apex’s catchphrase with Harimao’s. “The Apex, dosukoi! Yeah!”

Two notable things happened over the Right To Challenge Arm Covers today. Hideki Okatani is the latest person to get his hands on one by winning the Blue Arm Cover in a 3 Way Match. When asked about his plans to cash in, he kept quiet and only gave a sinister smile in response. Earlier in the show Antonio Honda pinned To-y in their match to win his RTC Arm Cover. Honda sent something of a warning to Higuchi to start dreaming of him whenever he sleeps because when that dream ends, Honda will be wearing the KO-D Openweight Title belt!

DDT “D GENERATIONS 5 ~UNFINISHED SHACHIHOKO BOYS~” Results

August 16, 2025

DDT “D GENERATIONS 5 ~UNFINISHED SHACHIHOKO BOYS~”, 16/08/2025
Aichi Imaike Gas Hall
??? Fans – Unannounced

1. Special Tag Match: Daichi Sato & Yuki Ishida defeated Takahiro Hiramoto & Masanori Kanu Watanabe when Ishida pinned Watanabe with the Flame Palm (12:13).
2. Right To Challenge Anytime, Anywhere Battle: To-y defeated Grand Passion Mask No. 4 with the Kojima Impact (8:06).
3. Ilusion defeated Mikiya Sasaki with a Rope-Assisted Backslide Pin (6:43).
4. Hideki Okatani defeated Ryoma Tsukamoto with the Vertical Drop Brainbuster (8:24).
5. Special Single Match: Shota defeated Yuya Koroku with a Crucifix Pin (12:06).
6. Special Tag Match: Takeshi Masada & Kazuma Sumi defeated Yu Shimizu & Ali Najima when Sumi pinned Najima with the School Boy (15:04).

The fifth D GENERATIONS show took place outside of Tokyo for the first time. Everyone instead went over to Nagoya to fight a fresh set of opponents away from the Young Communication side. The main event pitted Takeshi Masada & Kazuma Sumi against the local Sportiva team of Yu Shimizu & Ali Najima. Sumi scored the win for the D GENERATIONS team but Najima demanded a singles match with him afterward.

Shota was the only Young Communication wrestler on the show so he felt the need to be at his best against Yuya Koroku. He used a Crucifix Pin as a counter to Koroku’s Armbar to get the win and is pretty pleased with himself over it. Koroku however said things aren’t over between him and Shota.

Ryoma Tsukamoto briefly gave Hideki Okatani a taste of his own medicine when he choked him with a chain outside the ring during their match. But Okatani got his second wind, gave Tukamoto the Claymore Kick into the corner and pinned him with the Verical Drop Brainbuster.

A similar situation happened with Ilusion in his match. Mikiya Sasaki was also willing to use dirty tactics against a DAMNATION T.A wrestler, mainly using the ropes for leveraging his pin attempts. Ilusion fought back using Low Blows but even then Sasaki would give him a Low Blow of his own by accidentally falling head first into Ilusion’s groin. The damage was too much for Sasaki to bear though and Ilusion pinned him with a Backslide Pin with his own feet on the ropes for leverage.

Grand Passion Mask No. 4 tried to trick To-y during the match by stripping down to his underwear and hiding among the audience in the front row. This included removing his mask and leaving it in the ring for To-y to find and get confused. Passion would then attack him from behind but got the back of his underwear pulled down in the process. To-y would then get his hands on him for a Full Nelson Buster followed by the Kojima Impact to protect his Right To Challenge Arm Cover.

The latest match to happen is a young generation battle where BASARA’s Takeru Inoue will face off against GanPro’s Shota Kawakami. GanPro are also sending over Keisuke Ishii and Munetatsu Nakamura for matches. Maybe one of them will take part in Daichi Kazato’s 15th Anniversary bout?

6. Takeshi Masada’s 3rd Anniversary Match ~ 3 Vs 1 Handicap Match: Takeshi Masada defeated Chris Brookes, Antonio Honda & Bunbun when Masada pinned Honda with the Masada no Chikara KOBU Mukimuki (18:40).

Today’s main event was supposed to be celebrating the 3rd Anniversary of Takeshi Masada’s debut match. However plans slightly changed and he had to fight the rest of SCHADENFREUDE International by himself. That’s right, Bunbun didn’t want to team with him, he wanted to fight him instead. So Bunbun sided with Chris Brookes & Antonio Honda for a 3 Vs 1 Handicap Match against Masada. It was Bunbun’s debut wrestling match but the puppet ended up storming off after three missed attacks from Brookes hit him by mistake. Honda came up with an idea to bring him back by leading the others in the Bunbun Resurrection Dance. It succeeded too well because suddenly Bunbun emerged from under the ring in a second, more human sized form! He attacked everyone using John Cena’s moveset until SCHADENFREUDE all ganged up on him and forced him out of the ring. Bunbun later returned in his normal form but injured his knee in an attempted dive. It was all so he could do a Gongitsune spot with Honda. Masada evaded the attack and ended up beating Honda with his finisher. Masada thanked the others for having such a fun match with him on this anniversary and Bunbun talked about how much fun pro wrestling is.

The stipulation of the Elimination Tag Match was that every time there was a 1 Count kickout or a rope escape, everyone got to drink a cup of beer except for the team captains Yuki Ishida and MJ Paul. So nearly everyone in Harimao and DAMNATION T.A got drunk quickly while Ishida and Paul tried to take the match seriously.

Yukio Naya knows what always happens when you wrestle Danshoku Dieno so he wanted to embrace it. However Dieno didn’t want to give him the Lip Lock because he doesn’t think Naya is cute looking. He was apologetic over it and the two ended up clashing heads with each other after HARASHIMA accidently pushed them together. Naya and Dieno ended up switching bodies and now Dieno (in Naya’s body) gathered the urge to Lip Lock Naya (in Dieno’s body). He put on the Danshoku tights, did the Lip Lock and won the match with the Danshoku Driver. He then ran around ringside chasing after the ringside attendents. Later in the show Naya (in Dieno’s body) appeared during the Blindfold Bra match wearing his wrestling outfit.

Both To-y and Yuya Koroku are currently trying to farm as many life points as they can for their DDT Extreme Title match on 30th August. Life Points are mostly earned from social media posts getting lots of views but it also turns out they can be wagered too. To-y had 10 LP going into today’s show while Koroku had 12 so the two agreed to gamble 10 points each on their match in the opener. To-y beat Koroku directly to win the match for his team so not only did he win 10 extra LP, he also won Koroku’s Right To Challenge Arm Cover! Having caught the gambling bug, To-y then challenged Koroku to a double or nothing game of Rock Paper Scissors. He won that too but then kept asking for more rematches so he could reach his goal of 100 Life Points! Unfortunately his luck ran out and Koroku finally won a game. As a result both of them have reset their LP to 0 and will go back to social media to start farming LP again.

August 10, 2025

DDT “SENDAI NEW LEGEND 2025 ~GYUTAN~”, 10/08/2025
Miyagi Yume Messe Miyagi
??? Fans – Unannounced

1. Yukio Naya defeated Tomomitsu Matsunaga with The World’s Best Back Drop (8:19).
2. 2 Vs 1 Handicap Match: Kazuki Hirata defeated Danshoku Dieno & Akito when Hirata submitted Akito after Akito was unable to withstand his face being touched by Dieno (9:06).
3. Special 6-Man Tag Match: Daisuke Sasaki, Hideki Okatani & MJ Paul defeated HARASHIMA, Makoto Oishi & Aero Boy when Okatani pinned Oishi with the Vertical Drop Brainbuster (11:55).
4. Right To Challenge Anytime, Anywhere 4 Way Match: Yuya Koroku defeated Ilusion, Takeshi Masada and Kazuma Sumi when Koroku pinned Sumi with the Moonsault Press (7:13).
*Yuya Koroku wins the Green Right To Challenge Anytime, Anywhere Arm Cover.
5. Special 6-Man Tag Match: Kazusada Higuchi, Yuki Iino & Yuki Ishida defeated Jun Akiyama, Chris Brookes & Daichi Sato when Higuchi submitted Sato with the Claw (13:25).
6. MAO 10th Anniversary Match Vol. 1 ~ Special Tag Match: MAO & KANON (w/ KIMIHIRO) defeated Yuki Ueno & To-y when MAO pinned To-y with a Running Palm Strike (21:01).

The first part of MAO’s 10th Anniversary celebrations began in his hometown of Miyagi. He promised the locals he will become Miyagi’s Shikaku Hero and bring the square ring back to the city’s square venue on 14th December. Yuki Ueno had fun fighting MAO and KANON again but To-y promised next time he will turn MAO from a square into a triangle shaped mess! He also threatened to hurt KIMIHIRO during the match which led to KIMIHIRO sneaking in an Apron Dropkick to Ueno later in the match.

After winning the first two prelim matches in their series, Kazusada Higuchi is not taking the results for granted. He feels like his team only beat Jun Akiyama’s team by a hair’s breadth today. Daichi Sato took responsibility for the loss. He said he wanted to win the match by himself in front of Akiyama but ended up submitting to Higuchi’s Claw Hold. Akiyama is learning from the matches though and warns Higuchi he can see his moves clearly now.

The second Right To Challenge Arm Cover was won by Yuya Koroku after he was the last man standing in the 4 Way Match. He wants to keep his focus on the DDT Extreme Title match with To-y first so he will think carefully about what will come next.

Match #2 was changed a couple of times because Gorgeous Matsuno was unable to appear at the show. He had fever symptoms so the match was going to be turned into a 3 Way Match. However Kazuki Hirata currently has a Right To Challenge Arm Cover so Danshoku Dieno & Akito agreed to team up and have a 2 Vs 1 Handicap Match instead. Hirata escaped with a lucky win when Dieno was knocked down sitting on Akito’s face while giving Hirata a Lip Lock. Akito couldn’t take having Dieno’s exposed backside pressing down on his face so he gave up and since Dieno was on his team that meant Hirata was the winner!

The Tag Match he was meant to be in will now be a 3 Way Match between Danshoku Dieno, Akito and Kazuki Hirata. Keep in mind that the Right To Challenge Arm Cover currently belonging to Hirata is now active.

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “TOKYO PRINCESS CUP”, 17/08/2025
Osaka Edion Arena #2

1. 12th Tokyo Princess Cup – Semi Final: Shoko Nakajima Vs Miu Watanabe
2. 12th Tokyo Princess Cup – Semi Final: Yuki Arai Vs Arisu Endo

Osaka is the location for the Tokyo Princess Cup semi finals because what do names even mean anymore? On the one side is Shoko Nakajima against Miu Watanabe in a rematch from their highly praised bout from the Texas tour. Nakajima is treating this match like it is the final given who her opponent is. Watanabe sees just how hard Nakajima has been working as a double champion and wants to match that effort to win.

On the other is Yuki Arai versus Arisu Endo. Arai’s advances in the tournament have never gone worse than the year previously so she either remains stuck in semi final tier for the third year in a row or finally makes it to the final. Endo has never beaten Arai but is coming off of eliminating Miyu Yamashita. Except there’s not many people in the tournament’s history who benefitted from knocking Yamashita out. It’s just Yuka Sakazaki in 2017 and Mizuki in 2019 who continued advancing all the way to the finals from there.

DDT “YOKOHAMERMAID” Results

August 9, 2025

DDT “YOKOHAMERMAID”, 09/08/2025
Yokohama Radiant Hall
??? Fans – Unannounced

1. Special Single Match: Shinya Aoki defeated Takeshi Masada with the Aoki Clutch (7:21).
2. Right To Challenge Anytime, Anywhere 3 Way Match: Kazuki Hirata defeated Danshoku Dieno and Super Sasadango Machine when Hirata pinned Dieno with the Miracle One Shot Cradle (13:27).
*Kazuki Hirata wins the Yellow Right To Challenge Anytime, Anywhere Arm Cover.
3. Special Single Match: HARASHIMA defeated Daichi Sato with the Somato (9:41).
4. Named By Kazuki Hirata “I’m Koroku” Rule: Chris Brookes & Yuya Koroku defeated Yuki Ueno & To-y when Koroku submitted To-y with the Modified Triangle Lancer (12:29).
5. Special Tag Match: Kazusada Higuchi & Yuki Ishida defeated Jun Akiyama & Tomomitsu Matsunaga when Higuchi submitted Matsunaga with the Claw (9:22).

*V4 for DAMNATION T.A.

The two and a half heavyweight challengers tried using their size to take the KO-D 6-Man Tag Team Titles from DAMNATION T.A. by stacking up on each other. But they didn’t think it through so Kazuma Sumi tried and failed to piggyback Yuki Iino and Yukio Naya over his shoulders. MJ Paul then pulled the referee out of the ring when Naya had Choke Slammed Hideki Okatani. With the ref down, Daisuke Sasaki started attacking the other team with a chair and Ilusion gave them Low Blows too. The Apex figured out how to stack themselves up properly by having Iino piggyback Naya and Sumi stand on top of them for a dive. Unfortunately Sumi missed and despite trying to use the School Boy for a last gasp victory, he ended up getting pinned by Okatani with the Vertical Drop Brainbuster.

After the match Okatani taunted The Apex by telling them to train more for the KO-D Tag Team Titles match at “WRESTLE PETER PAN 2025”. Sasaki said that won’t matter because he and Okatani will surpass them through sheer talent alone. He then had an announcement to make about “CHARISMANIAxMANIAxMANIA” on 2nd October. The main event is going to be Sasaki & El Desperado taking on Shuji Ishikawa & Antonio Honda! Two years after Sasaki and Desperado fought each other in DDT, they now want to team up!

A trickster to the end, MAO was involved in one of the more creative match finishes of the year. He tried to pin Akito with the Japanese Leg Roll Clutch but Minoru Suzuki blocked it and put him in the Sleeper Hold. KANON broke that up and knocked Suzuki into MAO back to back. From there MAO gave Suzuki a Backslide Pin while applying the Gedo Clutch to Akito, pinning both of them for the win. With this victory MAO believes he is now the only person who can take the DDT Universal Title back from Suzuki. However Suzuki has now sworn to kill him at “WRESTLE PETER PAN 2025”!

Kazusada Higuchi is looking forward to defending the KO-D Openweight Title against Jun Akiyama. He sees it as his chance to get revenge for failing to take the title from Akiyama back in 2021. Akiyama said he may have lost today’s prelim match but he got to have a good look at Higuchi. They still have a few more weeks to go until the match so Akiyama hopes he and Higuchi will stay in good condition until then.

The DDT Extreme Title exists to be an avenue for wrestlers to be at their most creative. To-y is expecting Yuya Koroku to come up with an idea crazy enough to make their upcoming title bout exciting. Today Koroku tested his idea out by applying “I Am Koroku” rules (Kazuki Hirata came up with the name) to his tag match against To-y. The rule was a total pinfall count of 20 was needed to win the match alongside the other usual ways. However Koroku ended up winning the match by submission instead. To-y complained that the rules never said that but Koroku defended himself by explaining he never said pinfall was the only way to win. Since To-y is the champion he gets to pick the rules for the title match. He announced them on social media after the show. From now until the day of the show, he and Koroku will receive one life point for every social media post they make that reaches over 10,000 impressions. During the match itself every one count pinfall, rope break and getting thrown out of the ring will take away a Life Point until the loser is reduced to zero.

The first Right To Challenge Anytime, Anywhere prize was up for grabs. This year the prizes are represented with different color Arm Covers. However the first match featured wrestlers who were all hesitant to win for one reason or another. It turns out Danshoku Dieno, Super Sasadango Machine and Kazuki Hirata all do not want to deal with the pressure of holding the title shot that they could lose before cashing it in. Hisaya Imabayashi pleaded with them to take the match seriously so they did. Hirata won the match and couldn’t help but feel fired up over it. He now expects to get beaten up more than usual while building up anticipation for when he will cash in his KO-D Title shot. If he loses it before then he will only be disappointing everyone so he promised to keep it like it was part of his costume.

DDT began the show with a 10 bell salute dedicated to the late Tomohiko Hashimoto. He passed away at 47 years old from liver cancer on 5th August.
