DDT Around The World – November 2025

December 1, 2025

Normally I put together a hastily written intro for these articles but this month I’m starting with some housekeeping. You may notice that not everything that happened in November related to this series has been included in this post. That is because I will be writing up a separate post about Konosuke Takeshita’s matches in this year’s Continental Classic tournament over in AEW. I really enjoy writing about a DDT wrestler’s journey through a round robin tournament and felt it will be better to chart Takeshita’s C2 run that way instead of mixing it in with everyone else. So at some point at the end of the year you can expect to read about “Konosuke Takeshita’s C2 Adventure”!

Next it’s back to the regular programming. Maki Itoh went to wrestle in America again, Tokyo Joshi Pro made more moves with the Southeast Asian scene, Miyu Yamashita trekked off to Europe and Yuka Sakazaki popped up in Ring Of Honor. With all of that now out of the way it will be a much more quiet end to 2025 than I expected with not much on the horizon for now. There may come a time when I get to pause this series if there are no other bookings to follow outside of Takeshita with AEW, Itoh with GCW and the annual WrestleMania Week of shows. I’ll see if that bridge is worth crossing if I ever get to it.

Results


GCW “YOU WOULDN’T UNDERSTAND”, 07/11/2025
The Webster, Hartford, Connecticut, USA

1. Maki Itoh defeated Kerry Morton with a School Boy (10:11).

The start of Itoh’s GCW tour could have ended very badly for her if it wasn’t for some help from an unlikely ally. Kerry Morton controlled most of the match and acted obnoxious to Itoh throughout it. He even took Itoh’s pizza cutter and threatened to use it against her when Kerry’s father Ricky Morton approached the ring telling him to stop. Kerry pushed his dad away from the ring apron but Ricky pushed him back, right into a School Boy from Itoh that got her the three count.


GCW “MASSACRE IN MAINE”, 08/11/2025
Yarmouth Amvets, Yarmouth, Maine USA

1. KJ Orso defeated Maki Itoh with the Step Up Double Stomp (9:46).

Itoh showed her perseverance in a match with KJ Orso that she almost could have won. Orso resorted to cheap tricks like using the rope to leverage his pin but he was caught by the ref. Itoh took her shot and tried to put Orso in the Itoh Special but he got out of it by raking Itoh’s eyes and then followed it up by hitting the Step Up Double Stomp for the win. Orso wanted to hurt Itoh even worse with a chair attack after the match but Joey Janela came to the rescue and chased Orso off.


GCW “GREEN MOUNTAINS AND ME”, 09/11/2025
Barre Elks Lodge, Barre, Vermont, USA

1. Maki Itoh defeated Selena Hekate with the Itoh Deluxe (6:03).

This GCW show was being held in Vermont where the local promotion Green Mountain Wrestling got involved with the card. Selena Hekate was Itoh’s opponent, wanting to represent the territory against The Cutest In The World. She ended up getting a Headbutt and DDT for her troubles before Itoh tapped her out with the Itoh Deluxe.

HOG “SUPERCLASH”, 15/11/2025
Suffolk Credit Union Arena, Brentwood, New York, USA

1. Shayna Baszler defeated Maki Itoh by Referee Stoppage with the Kirifuda Clutch (11:17).

She got choked out but at least Itoh didn’t get her face wrecked by Shayna Baszler. She didn’t take Itoh seriously at first until Itoh got a few slaps to the face on target. Baszler hit her back but dropped her guard for the crocodile tears routine. Once she got back in control, Baszler wrenched Itoh’s arm over and over but then she made the mistake of throwing Itoh head first into the turnbuckle. That fired Itoh up for a comeback, leading to a scramble on the mat as Itoh got Baszler in a Rear Naked Choke instead of the other way around. A falling Head Kick from Baszler backfired as Itoh stumbled into the ropes and from the rebound hit a Kokeshi Headbutt for a nearfall. Itoh then scored big with a Tornado DDT and the Stunner but still couldn’t put Baszler away. Instead grabbed Itoh into a Rear Naked Choke and turned it into the Kirifuda Clutch to squeeze the life out of her until the ref called for the match.


ROH “ROH ON HONORCLUB – BLACK FRIDAY”, 19/11/2025 (Aired 28/11/2025)
Agganis Arena, Boston, Massachusetts, USA

1. ROH Women’s Pure Title Tournament – Round 1: Yuka Sakazaki defeated Serena Deeb with the Magical Merry-Go-Round (10:31).

After all that wait, was it worth it in the end? Eh, maybe. The ROH Pure Wrestling ruleset is still something Sakazaki isn’t purposely taking into consideration for her tournament matches but if there was any opponent to make it a factor, it was Serena Deeb. Except she ended up getting foiled by the very rules she was supposed to excel in. Deeb was the one who used up all of her rope breaks in the match and then she made the big mistake of trying to push Sakazaki around with some disrespectful slaps to the head like she wasn’t worth her time. That made Sakazaki go into mini-terminator mode and hit her back with some big Elbow Strikes. Deeb almost turned things around by blocking the Magical Girl Splash but Sakazaki dropped her with the Magical Merry-Go-Round and got the three count. Deeb actually got her foot on the rope but since she ran out of rope breaks, it couldn’t stop her from getting pinned.


WXW “25TH ANNIVERSARY TOUR – DAY 1”, 21/11/2025
Markthalle, Hamburg, Germany

1. Dani Luna defeated Miyu Yamashita with the Luna Landing (16:51).

You don’t usually get to see Yamashita get involved with some deep crowd brawling past the first couple of rows but when an environment like wXw gives you a chance to shake things up, you should take it. Dani Luna got to hit her back just as hard though while the German fans filled the room with their football chants. She even had the Return Crash scouted, turning the move into a bouncing Blue Thunder Bomb off the ropes for a nearfall. Yamashita missed the Skull Kick but held onto Luna with a Sleeper Hold to wear her down. However despite getting a Buzzsaw Kick in, Yamashita was lifted back up onto her opponent’s shoulders and was given the Luna Landing (Fireman’s Sitout Bomb) to give Lina a very impressive victory.


WXW “25TH ANNIVERSARY TOUR – DAY 2”, 22/11/2025
Gruenspan, Hamburg, Germany

1. Ahura defeated Miyu Yamashita with the Salamandra (17:17).

Ahura took Yamashita lightly at first, placing her on the top turnbuckle and giving her some words. But Yamashita pushed him back, paint brushed his head and then kicked it to show she should be taken seriously. She continued to kick the hell out of him while Ahura tried to take breaks to stop himself from losing control of the match. Soon Ahura was bleeding from the mouth but he soon took advantage a gave Yamashita a big Power Bomb. She recovered and fought back to set up the Skull Kick but Ahura dodged it to roll out of the ring again. Ahura then dug his thumb into Yamashita’s eye from the ring apron but Yamashita made another comeback to give him the Attitude Adjustment from the second rope. She went for the Crash Rabbit Heat only for Ahura to catch her and Power Bomb her into the ropes so she would bounce right into a big Lariat. He was then able to win by using the Salamandra, which I can best describe as a Fireman’s Carry that twists into a Spinning Emerald Flowsion. Yamashita slapped away Ahura’s offer for a handshake after the match but it was only so she could offer him the handshake instead.


GCW “DREAM ON”, 22/11/2025
American Dream, East Rutherford, New Jersey, USA

1. Maki Itoh defeated Jeffrey John with the I.S.D (5:40).

Unfortunately Itoh’s last GCW match of the month had to be changed. Her original opponent Zayda Steel was unable to make the show so Itoh instead took on “The Babushka Baron” Jeffrey John. He’s called that because he wears a babushka during his matches you see. He gave Itoh a Death Valley Driver but she kicked out of it. He then tried to Superplex her off the top rope but Itoh Headbutted him back down and gave him the I.S.D off the turnbuckles to win the match.


AEW “SATURDAY TAILGATE BRAWL – FULL GEAR”, 22/11/2025
Prudential Center, Newark, New Jersey, USA

1. CMLL World Trios Titles: Mistico, Mascara Dorada & Neon (c) defeated Kazuchika Okada, Konosuke Takeshita & Hechicero when Mistico submitted Hechicero with La Mistica (13:44).
*V3 for El Sky Team.

Well this was a mess. Takeshita returned to AEW after finishing up his DDT dates and walked right into a championship match with other members of The Don Callis Family. They were challenging El Sky Team, the reigning CMLL World Trios Titles but were a man down when Kazuchika Okada didn’t show up due to alleged travel issues according to Don Callis. Things turned out better for the challengers when Hechicero attacked Mistico and seemed to have injured his shoulder before the match even began, sending one third of the champions out of the match to get medical attention. Then when Mascara Dorada & Neon were making a comeback, Okada finally arrived in the parking lot and walked out of his sportscar in full gear (…ohhhhh, I get it!) right down to ringside to enter the match. He kept unapologetically getting in Takeshita’s way and purposely gave him the Rainmaker while Mistico made a triumphant return to action. El Sky Team were now a united force while The Don Callis Family were all on opposite pages, allowing Mistico to win by making Hechicero tap out to La Mistica.


REVPRO “LIVE IN COVENTRY”, 23/11/2025
HMV Empire, Coventry, England

1. Kanji defeated Miyu Yamashita (?:??).

Yamashita’s next country to visit was a return to England where she made her Revolution Pro debut. It ended in defeat to Kanji, continuing her growing losing streak on this tour. It’s not a result to be ashamed of though, Kanji is one of the bright prospects in the current United Kingdom scene and RevPro seem to have a solid direction in mind for her heading into 2026.


JCW “HOME FOR THE HOLIDAYS”, 23/11/2025
The Mecca, Ridgefield Park, New Jersey, USA

1. Beastman Body Slam Challenge: Maki Itoh defeated Beastman with the Body Slam.

Another of Itoh’s big matches planned for the month didn’t go ahead. Queen Aminata was out of action with an injury so Itoh decided to enter Beastman’s Body Slam Challenge instead. After a list of different wrestlers all tried and failed to Body Slam the giant opponent, Itoh looked like she was not going to fare any better. She tried doing a Diving Cross Body to weaken Beastman but was caught in midair and slammed onto the mat. Beastman then climbed the ropes attempting to jump onto Itoh when Thomas Shire ran into the ring to make the save. He knocked Beastman down with a Lariat, giving Itoh the opening to successfully Body Slam her opponent like she was Ahmed Johnson slamming Yokozuna in 1995. Her celebration was immediately cut short when Mad Dog Connelly ran into the ring and Clotheslined her, leading Connolly and Shire to start brawling as their match was next.


WPE/QPW “EPISODE 2”, 28/11/2025
Salle Albert Marquet, La Frette-sur-Seine, France

1. Miyu Yamashita defeated Lauriana (?:??).

From one princess to another. Yamashita’s visit to France had her go face to face with “Princess” Lauriana. I couldn’t find much information on how the match went other than Yamashita won.


SAJ “FINAL BOUT 4”, 29/11/2025
Magnete, Via Adriando, Milan, Italy

1. Miyu Yamashita defeated Luke Jacobs with the Skull Kick (?:??).
2. Maki Itoh defeated Flamingo with the Itoh Deluxe (?:??).

Did 121000000 become two ships passing by during one night in Milan? The SAJ Wrestling show had both Itoh and Yamashita on the card, making it the first show to have both of them on since Itoh left TJPW. If they had interactions it wasn’t in the ring because Itoh was busy beating up a wrestler named Flamingo.

Yamashita on the other hand had a big change in plans. Her original opponent JJ Gale was not on the show due to reasons I could not make out from the translation but she was given another British brute of a wrestler to take on instead, Luke Jacobs. She even got to beat him clean! It’s a bit of a funny result because she got to beat the previous PROGRESS World Champion one day before she actually made her PROGRESS debut.


PROGRESS “VENDETTA 3”, 30/11/2025
Electric Ballroom, Camden, London, England

1. Alexxis Falcon defeated Miyu Yamashita with the Off With Her Head (?:??).

Yamashita’s European vacation ended London for her debut in PROGRESS. Things were going mostly well for her against Alexxis Falcon until she took her opponent’s finisher, a Shellshock style Swinging DDT that was given to Yamashita while she was draped on the ropes. She kicked out of it the first time but Falcon was able to pull of the move again, this time getting the win with it.

DDT “BE AMBITIOUS ~AUTUMN BATTLE~” Results

*V5 for To-y.
5. KO-D Tag Team Titles: MAO & KANON (c) (w/ KIMIHIRO) defeated Daisuke Sasaki & Hideki Okatani when KANON pinned Okatani with the Modified LONELY DEZIRES (14:12).
*V1 for STRANGE LOVE CONNECTION.
6. Special Single Match: KONOSUKE TAKESHITA defeated Shinya Aoki with a Modified Jackknife Pin (10:07).
7. KO-D Openweight Title & DDT Universal Title: Yuki Ueno (c/c) defeated Super Sasadango Machine with a Dropkick (27:16).
*V3 for the KO-D Openweight Title. V1 for the DDT Universal Title.

High hopes and grand ambitions for the future spurred on Super Sasadango Machine as he found himself fighting Yuki Ueno for DDT’s top two championships in Korakuen Hall today. He spent the time leading up to the match working out with a personal trainer, had revealed the Reverse Shrimp Hold as his deadly secret weapon he had kept hidden for around two decades and he was watched over by Konosuke Takeshita in his corner for the match. The big problem though was Ueno banned Sasadango from giving any PowerPoint Presentations until this match took place, sapping away Sasadango’s creativity. Or did it? As he held Ueno in the Reverse Shrimp Hold, fighting to stop the champion from reaching the ropes “Etupirka” began to play and a spiritual PowerPoint Presentation was broadcast directly into the minds of everyone watching the match! In it Sasadango revealed then if he wins the KO-D Openweight Title and DDT Universal Title today, he will nominate Ueno to be his first challenger and hold the rematch at the 3rd January Korakuen show next year. Then the next day Sasadango will invade the Tokyo Dome to take over New Japan’s big show! Unfortunately for Sasadango the bonus motivation didn’t work and Ueno made it to the ropes to break his secret hold. Ueno also kicked out of the Vertical Drop Lehman Shock even though Sasadango hit the move three times throughout the match. Sasadango’s last plan was to simply use a Dropkick on Ueno but the champion got back up and did several Dropkicks of his own. Sasadango kicked out of the BME and the two wrestlers began Dropkicking each other back and forth. They both kept kicking out of the pins until Sasadango got Dropkicked in the face one time too many and couldn’t kick out anymore.

After the match Ueno thanked Sasadango for doing his best and asked him if they really can make the dream of bringing DDT to the Tokyo Dome come true? Sasadango said it is not a dream at all and it is their responsibility to take all of the DDT fans to that destination. If everybody puts their minds to it, they can definitely make it to the Tokyo Dome and fill it up for an amazing view! Ueno admitted he will never become an icon like Hiroshi Tanahashi but that’s okay. Sasadango advised him to just be himself and then left. Later during his backstage comments, Sasadango talked about the opportunities that will open up when Tanahashi retires for other wrestlers to become the next icon for the entire industry, not just in New Japan. There are so many things that need to be done for DDT to get to the Tokyo Dome but Sasadango promised he will work hard to help make it happen, especially since we are not that far off from DDT celebrating its 30th Anniversary.

But that’s still way off in the future. Ueno is also thinking about what he’s going to do next. Hisaya Imabayashi told him his next singles title match will happen on the 21st December Korakuen show and Ueno was allowed to choose his opponent. Ueno decided he will defend the KO-D Title against one of the D GENERATIONS wrestlers and the challenger would be determined right away with a Rock Paper Scissors tournament! He explained it would be the fairest way to quickly determine the No. 1 Contender and it is also an idea that has been passed down through DDT since ancient times. In the end, Takeshi Masada beat Yuki Ishida in the final to earn the title shot. Ueno asked him what does he want to do if he becomes champion? Masada said he will prove that he is the future of DDT. Ueno told him he has plenty of time to do that so he should say something that will make Ueno want to beat him. Masada said he will make Ueno feel despair when he beats him on the 21st!

Fresh off of losing winning his first match in the Continental Classic at AEW last week, Takeshita made it all the way back to DDT for a special rematch against Shinya Aoki. He brought the IWGP World Heavyweight Title with him but the match was a non-title bout. Aoki brought the challenge, finding unique ways to use his moves on Takeshita. He avoided being pinned with the Blue Thunder Bomb by applying a Cross Armbreaker and also used the setup for the Aoki Clutch as a feint to roll Takeshita into the European Clutch instead. Takeshita got the better of him though by escaping his different cradle pins and using a Backslide to roll himself on top of Aoki and pin him with a bridging Jackknife. Takeshita said backstage that he cannot afford to lose anywhere right now because the Tokyo Dome is waiting for him. He isn’t just talking about 4th January because as long as he is with DDT, he wants to go to the Tokyo Dome with DDT! He also sees how much the D GENERATIONS have improved and thinks DDT is in good hands with them around. Aoki is coming off of a recent MMA defeat in ONE FC and said how strange it is that today he feels he is back where he belongs. To him, martial arts and MMA are all part of the same rules as pro wrestling and he has come to love modern pro wrestling.

A grudge match over the KO-D Tag Team Titles pushed Strange Love Connection to bring in an extra ringside second alongside KIMIHIRO to even up the numbers against DAMNATION T.A. During the entrance KIMIHIRO introduced everyone to the stage actress Yuzuki Hoshimoto who was armed with a whip and also an illuminated blade shaped bat. However she didn’t turn out to do much when DAMNATION T.A attacked the champions during their entrance. She whipped MJ Paul a bit but he just shoved her against the ring apron in response. Things went worse for SLC when MAO’s attempted stage dive missed the target and he landed on KANON instead. Daisuke Sasaki continued to attack them with chairs, even Body Slamming KIMIHIRO onto a pile of them. Paul & Demus added more damage with interference spots but MAO got his own back by wiping them out at ringside with a Quebrada. Sasaki held MAO in La Mistica Crossface Lock while Hideki Okatani went to finish the job but KANON made a comeback on the two of them. As much as Okatani tried to harm KANON’s hand, he couldn’t stop him from doing the LONELY DEZIRES, giving SLC a hard earned victory and KANON his revenge.

After the match KANON spoke about having confidence now and proving he is not unwanted because he has friends who support him. SLC beat DAMNATION T.A but they don’t want their title run to end here. They heard that earlier today F-SWAG were telling everyone they want a title shot. MAO thinks it’s great that teams from outside DDT now want to fight for the KO-D Tag Titles because he needs new opponents to help himself and KANON grow stronger together. Meanwhile DAMNATION T.A were coming up with excuses for losing. Sasaki blamed it on bad calls while Okatani had regrets over not using his bamboo stick because he thought he could win without it.

Gambling was the name of the game when it came to today’s DDT Extreme Title match. Well actually the name of the match was Weapon Gamble but you know what I mean. To-y and Sanshiro Takagi spent over a week gambling their money in the hopes of raising funds for weapons to use in this match. Neither of them won anything substantial so they were reduced to finding weapons they didn’t have to pay for. The extra catch was every time a new weapon was introduced, they would have to play a card game where the person who drew the higher number would be allowed use the weapon on his opponent. One instance of this backfiring was when Takagi brought in a group of unpaid amateur indie wrestlers. To-y won the card game so all of the wrestlers attacked Takagi instead. The next item was a briefcase that To-y won the right to use but Takagi grabbed it and ran off. When the indie wrestlers chased after him, Takagi pulled out a spray can from the briefcase and blinded everyone with it. The Dramatic Dream was next and Takagi got to crash it into everyone up in the aisleway. Another bicycle was brought out but this one belonged to To-y’s parents! He and Takagi then crashed their bikes into each other. Then came the most dangerous weapon of the match: A parent-teacher meeting with To-y’s mother Miwa Kojima! Takagi won the card game so he got to tell Miwa about To-y’s gambling problem, claiming To-y has taken it so far that he has stolen Takagi’s money to fund it! Miwa also revealed her credit card is constantly in debt because of her son so she asked Takagi to help her. Takagi smashed a plastic case over To-y’s head as punishment which shocked Miwa. She had a sudden change of heart and slapped Takagi across the face, stunning him long enough for To-y to give him the Kojima In Wonderland onto the plastic cases for the victory. Mother and son hugged each other afterwards but To-y admitted he cannot quit gambling. He promised to make enough money to pay it all back though and then make even more money so he can gamble even more without it going to waste. He admits when you hold the Extreme Title you lose track of what is right and what is wrong. However he will always be authentic.

The first DDT tour for the Belgian tag team Rivality came to an end today with them getting to team up with Jun Akiyama & HARASHIMA. The four of them all joined forces to face the temporary alliance of SCHADENFREUDE International and Harimao. Early on MBM & Ultima Sombra got to experience the SCHADENFREUDE Tower spot from both sides. Sombra was the one getting punished while MBM got to pose on top of him with everyone else. Sombra also took the full brunt of the rubber band spot from Chris Brookes. Akiyama fought Naomi Yoshimura for the more serious part of the match but the finish came down to Masada & Ishida hitting their finishers on both members of MBM at the same time, leading to Masada pinning MBM.

As mentioned earlier, F-SWAG has come to DDT and they are looking for gold. Jun Masaoka & Gaia Hox made the most of the chaos that went on to win the 3 Way Tag Match against The Apex and DAMNATION T.A. They formed an alliance with Demus & Ilusion at first but betrayed them as soon as the opportunity arose. Hox wiped out Yuki Iino & Yukio Naya with a dive then made it back into the ring to help Masaoka finish off Ilusion for the victory. After the match F-SWAG got on the microphone and said they wanted to face the winners of the KO-D Tag Titles match on 21st December because that is the only date they have open that month. DDT better watch out!

After a month long delay in recovery, Danshoku Dieno finally got to make his triumphant return to the ring. Too bad the match began while he was making his entrance through the audience and Antonio Honda submitted to Kazusada Higuchi’s Claw Hold six seconds in. Imabayashi got mad at Dieno’s moment being ruined and ordered a restart. The match went on without a hitch with all of the Lip Locks and partial nudity you’d want in a Dieno match. Toru Owashi didn’t get a Lip Lock though despite anticipating he would. Dieno had extra pent up energy built up from his time away and it was used to charge up the Hirata Go! glasses and also Gongitsune (as well as a portable battery belonging to a fan at ringside). Kazuki Hirata turned the charged up Gongitsune against Honda in order to pin him with the Miracle One Shot Cradle.

In the dark match Akito, Daichi Sato & Yuya Koroku all teamed up to defeat Soma Takao, Rukiya & Hinata Kasai. Takao & Rukiya tried to break down Sato with a Sandwich Elbow attack so Kasai could hit him with a Missile Dropkick. Sato got back at Kasai with a Fisherman Suplex and pinned him with a Penalty Kick.

Two big matches featuring Kaisei Takechi were announced for December and January to help him prepare for his “WRESTLE KINGDOM” appearance. On 21st December he will team with HARASHIMA to face Yuji Nagata & Sanshiro Takagi. Then on 3rd January Takechi will defend the KO-D 6-Man Tag Team Titles with The 37KAMIINA against SLC & Kazuma Sumi.

DDT “BANETSU EAST LINE TRAIN PRO WRESTLING” Results

November 29, 2025

DDT “BANETSU EAST LINE TRAIN PRO WRESTLING”, 29/11/2025
Banetsu East Line Train
??? Fans – Unannounced

1. Staggered Boarding Tag Team Battle Royal: Chris Brookes & Takeshi Masada defeated Yuki Ueno & To-y, MAO & KANON, Kazusada Higuchi & Kazuki Hirata, HARASHIMA & Yuya Koroku, Yukio Naya & Kazuma Sumi and Sanshiro Takagi & Akito (150:38).
1a. Chris Brookes & Takeshi Masada eliminated Sanshiro Takagi & Akito by Ring Out (72:00).
1b. Kazusada Higuchi & Kazuki Hirata eliminated Yuki Ueno & To-y by TKO when Higuchi used the Torture Canadian Backbreaker on To-y (143:45).
1c. MAO & KANON and Yukio Naya & Kazuma Sumi eliminated Kazusada Higuchi & Kazuki Hirata after Hirata submitted to Higuchi’s Combined Canadian Backbreaker (144:13).
1d. MAO & KANON and Yukio Naya & Kazuma Sumi eliminated each other when KANON pinned Sumi and Naya pinned MAO at the same time (147:20).
1e. Chris Brookes & Takeshi Masada eliminated HARASHIMA & Yuya Koroku when Brookes pinned Koroku with a Piledriver through the Table (150:38).

A cozy train ride across the Banetsu East Line Train was on the cards today. DDT decided to put on a Tag Team Battle Royal on a train with the first group of teams boarding on at Koriyama Station. Yuki Ueno & To-y were the first to walk down the aisleway, followed by Strange Love Connection, then Chris Brookes & Takeshi Masada and lastly Kazusada Higuchi & Kazuki Hirata joined in. While the fighting went on for a while, the wrestlers took breaks here and there to talk with the passengers. MAO also promoted the big Baka Gaijin + Friends show taking place in Shinjuku FACE on Tuesday.

The action picked up at Iwaki Tokiwa Station when two more teams entered the fray. HARASHIMA & Yuya Koroku as well as Yukio Naya & Kazuma Sumi all jogged down to the station and fought everyone outside the train. The SCHADENFREUDE International team also sack tossed wrestlers like Koroku and Sumi into piles of dry hay nearby before everyone got back in the train.

Everyone wanted to pace themselves for the next station so rather than wrestle, they all played card and dice games over a luxury bento box. When the train arrived at Ononiimachi Station there was a secret team standing by to be the final entrants in the match. It was Sanshiro Takagi & Akito! Everyone continued wrestling outside on the platform where passengers on another train got to watch on from their seats. When that train departed all of the wrestlers waved goodbye to it. Everyone then decided to gang up on Takagi & Akito, tying them both to the train station’s sign post. They also stuck tape over their mouths and abandoned them at the station so the match could continue on its journey. Since Takagi & Akito didn’t make it back to the train when it left, they were the first team eliminated from the Battle Royal.

 

The wrestlers took another break on the train to eat lunch and play more games. Hirata then led some of the others in a dance before the fighting broke out again. The train stopped at Akai Station where Pokotan was meant to step onboard as a surprise guest but he was spotted sleeping on the ground. He woke up as the train was leaving and tripped over while trying to chase after it.

The train reached its final destination and everyone disembarked so the Battle Royal could conclude outside of Iwaki Station. The 37KAMIINA team were eliminated when Higuchi held To-y in the Canadian Backbreaker until To-y fainted while Ueno was too busy dancing with Hirata to notice. Everybody then physically made Higuchi put Hirata in the Canadian Backbreaker and all wrenched the move harder to make Hirata give up, knocking Higuchi out of the match too.

A back and forth battle then went ahead between SLC and Naya & Sumi. It ended with Sumi giving MAO a Flying DDT onto the ground only for MAO in his last gasp give Sumi the Fire Thunder onto the concrete. Both men were knocked completely out so KANON pinned Sumi while Naya pinned MAO. Both got three counts but that also meant both teams had eliminated each other!

That left two teams still standing for the big finale. HARASHIMA tried to do the Somato on Masada while he was leaning against a flipped over table. Masada rolled out of the way making HARASHIMA crash into the table knees first. Koroku then tried to fight off Brookes & Masada two on one but eventually fell to their double team tactics. The table was set back up and Brookes put Koroku through it with a Piledriver for the final elimination, making SCHADENFREUDE International the winners of the Battle Royal in over two hours and 30 minutes!

Dieno Still Out Of Action, The Great Baka Mecha Wars, Title Matches In Bangkok

November 25, 2025

DDT “BAN’ETSU EAST LINE TRAIN PRO WRESTLING”, 29/11/2025
Ban-etsu East Line Train

There will be a train ride leaving Koriyama Station to the destination Iwaki Station where several street pro wrestling matches will be held. The matches will be announced on the day of the show.

The wrestlers taking part include Yuki Ueno, To-y, MAO, KANON, HARASHIMA, Kazusada Higuchi (replacing Danshoku Dieno who hasn’t been cleared to wrestle), Chris Brookes, Kazuki Hirata, Yukio Naya, Takeshi Masada, Yuya Koroku and Kazuma Sumi. Several of them will be on the train ride too.

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “STEP FORWARD ’25”, 29/11/2025
Osaka Azalea Taisho Hall

1. Toga Vs Chika Nanase
2. Arisu Endo Vs Shino Suzuki
3. Raku & Pom Harajuku Vs Uta Takami & Ren Konatsu
4. Mizuki & Mifu Ashida Vs Yuki Aino & Haru Kazashiro
5. Shoko Nakajima & Hyper Misao Vs Yuki Arai & Mahiro Kiryu
6. Yuki Kamifuku & Wakana Uehara Vs Kaya Toribami & Kira Summer
7. Miu Watanabe & Rika Tatsumi Vs Suzume & HIMAWARI

The Princess Of Princess Title match buildup is getting more serious with the big guns now starting to appear. Miu Watanabe & Rika Tatsumi are teaming up as Daydream again for the first time since July to give Suzume a big challenge ahead of the title match. Suzume isn’t teaming with Arisu Endo to reform Daisy Monkey though. Maybe that will happen down the line. Instead she is teaming with HIMAWARI.

Miyu Yamashita won’t be on the show because she is still on her European tour.

BAKA GAIJIN + FRIENDS “VOL. 26: WHO WANTS TO LIVE FOREVER?”, 02/12/2025
Shinjuku FACE

1. The Great Baka Mecha Wars Volume 2: Mecha MAO Vs Takagi Sanshirobo (w/ Mad Dr. Hige) Vs X
2. BK-G Openweight Title – Mascara Contra Mascara: Mr. Malo (c) Vs Mr. Bueno

It’s been a while since Mecha MAO and Takagi Sanshirobo fought their epic mecha battles in front of everyone. Now a third mecha is entering the fight. The X in the The Great Baka Mecha Wars has been greatly hinted to be something in the form of Minoru Suzuki. The possibility of it brings my memories back to Suzuki’s infamous match with Mecha Mummy at a MUSCLE show where a Gotch-Style Piledriver into a shallow lake caused a massive explosion that destroyed Mecha Mummy while leaving Suzuki with a significant piece of technology embedded in his eye. Imagine thinking we would ever get a follow up to that ending 16 years later?

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “TJPW X OCHA NORMA – OCHA PRO☆KORAKUEN”, 07/12/2025
Tokyo Korakuen Hall

1. Arisu Endo & Uta Takami Vs HIMAWARI & Haru Kazashiro
2. Ryo Mizunami, Raku & Pom Harajuku Vs Mahiro Kiryu, Shino Suzuki & Chika Nanase
3. Ochanor Mask & Kaya Toribami Vs Wakana Uehara & Ren Konatsu
4. OCHA Pro Seikigun Vs Coffee Breakers: Miyu Yamashita, Rika Tatsumi & Mifu Ashida Vs Hyper Misao, Yuki Kamifuku & Kira Summer
5. Miu Watanabe, Yuki Aino & Toga Vs Mizuki, Suzume & Yuki Arai

The full card of the show’s wrestling portion has been decided. Miyu Yamashita, Rika Tatsumi & Mifu Ashida are joining forces as die hard fans of OCHA NORMA to defend the group’s honour against the Coffee Breakers of Hyper Misao, Yuki Kamifuku & Kira Summer.

The two masked women are being paired together as a tag team. Surely Kaya Toribami will find something in common with the newcomer Ochanor Mask.

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “TJPW LIVE IN BANGKOK”, 13/12/2025
The Circus Studio, G Village, Bangkok, Thailand

1. IWA Japan SETUP World Tag Team Titles: Miyu Yamashita & Kaya Toribami (c) Vs Raku & Pom Harajuku
2. MLW Women’s World Featherweight Title: Shoko Nakajima (c) Vs Alexis Lee
3. Princess Of Princess Title: Miu Watanabe (c) Vs Matcha

Two more title matches are added to the Thailand show, one of which clears up a piece of reporting from Fightful’s paywall that ended up being unintentionally sloppy. Their Patreon page reported that MLW are expecting Shoko Nakajima to defend the MLW Women’s World Featherweight Title in Asia again in the next coming months. The problem is they reported this just days after she had a title defence in Japan for Tokyo Joshi Pro and they clearly had no idea that had happened, so it came off as both a late slip as well as “No shit, Sherlock.” Now we see that the title defence being talked about is this match against Alexis Lee that is happening at TJPW’s Thailand show but again, Fightful’s never gave any detail like that so their reporting still comes off like nobody over there pays attention to the product (and continues my gripes over MLW news often being just glorified press releases). Considering part of their audience for a time thought Marigold closed down because they hadn’t heard anything about the company from the site since its first Sumo Hall event shows how bad their general Japan coverage is. Even their recent report that many of New Japan’s deals with their wrestlers no longer default to January every year is old news to the die hard fans.

The new IWA Japan SETUP World Tag Team Champions will hold their first defence of the titles in Thailand. Yamashita & Toribami’s opponents are two wrestlers who have held championships in SETUP before and even fought over it in TJPW. Do Raku & Pom Harajuku have it in them to win more gold in Southeast Asia?

There will also be a small scale SETUP show taking place the same afternoon before this show although I don’t know if anyone from TJPW will be on it.

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “TOKYO JOSHI PRO ’26”, 04/01/2026
Tokyo Korakuen Hall

1. Shoko Nakajima Vs Hyper Misao
2. Princess Of Princess Title: Miu Watanabe (c) Vs Suzume

January will see J-Rod come back to TJPW for a second tour. She will be at the 4th January show in Korakuen Hall as well as the 10th January show in Shinjuku FACE.

DDT “KAZUMA SUMI TRIUMPHANT RETURN! SUMI SOARS FOR MIE!” Results

November 24, 2025

DDT “KAZUMA SUMI TRIUMPHANT RETURN! SUMI SOARS FOR MIE!”, 24/11/2025
Mie Cultural Center Multipurpose Hall
??? Fans – Unannounced

1. Special Tag Match: Tomomitsu Matsunaga & Yuya Koroku defeated MBM & Ultima Sombra when Koroku submitted MBM with the Modified Triangle Lancer (9:17).
2. 3 Way Match: Akito defeated HARASHIMA and Kazuki Hirata when Akito pinned Hirata after the Somato from HARASHIMA (8:02).
3. The Apex Vs DAMNATION T.A!: Yuki Iino & Yukio Naya defeated MJ Paul & Demus when Iino pinned Paul with the Spear (10:14).
4. Harimao Vs SCHADENFREUDE International!: Kazusada Higuchi, Naomi Yoshimura & Yuki Ishida defeated Chris Brookes, Antonio Honda & Takeshi Masada when Yoshimura submitted Honda with a Side Headlock (12:14).
5. Special Tag Match: Yuki Ueno & To-y defeated Jun Akiyama & Daichi Sato when To-y pinned Sato with the Kojima Impact (13:23).
6. Special 6-Man Tag Match: MAO, KANON & Kazuma Sumi defeated Daisuke Sasaki, Hideki Okatani & Ilusion when Sumi pinned Ilusion with the Reverse 450 Splash (18:04).

A sold out crowd gathered together in Mie to see the hometown boy Kazuma Sumi in action. His day in the spotlight had him getting stuck into the Strange Love Connection versus DAMNATION T.A feud. While KANON and Hideki Okatani continued their grudge, Sumi did double team work with MAO to overcome their cheating opponents. Ilusion missed the Swanton Bomb aimed for Sumi while MAO wiped out the rest of DAMNATION T.A with a dive out of the ring. Sumi took the chance and hit the Reverse 450 Splash on Ilusion to score a big victory. He credited SLC for helping him win today yet couldn’t help but look at their KO-D Tag Team Title belts during his speech. He promised the next time he wrestles in Mie, he will be a singles champion and an even stronger wrestler!

In the 3 Way Match, HARASHIMA hit the Somato on Akito and Kazuki Hirata at the same time and pinned both of them while they were stacked on each other. When Yukinori Matsui counted to three, he ruled that the pinfall was for Akito because he was laying right on top of Hirata despite HARASHIMA being on top of the pile.

DDT “GORGEOUS NIGHT” Results

November 23, 2025

DDT “GORGEOUS NIGHT”, 23/11/2025
Fukushima Toyota Crown Arena (Fukushima National Sports Festival Memorial Gymnasium) Sub-Arena in Fukushima
??? Fans – Unannounced

1. Special Tag Match: To-y & Takeshi Masada defeated MBM & Ultima Sombra when To-y pinned MBM with the Kojima Impact (8:15).
2. Demus & Ilusion defeated Soma Takao & Yuya Koroku when Ilusion pinned Koroku with the Swanton Bomb (9:32).
3. Daisuke Sasaki, Hideki Okatani & MJ Paul defeated HARASHIMA, Naomi Yoshimura & Hinata Kasai when Okatani pinned Kasai with the Skewer Claymore (12:11).
4. Special Tag Match: Chris Brookes & Arisu Endo defeated Kazuki Hirata & Moeka Haruhi when Endo pinned Hirata with the Ju no Okite (14:27).
5. KANON (w/ KIMIHIRO), Kazusada Higuchi & Yuki Ishida defeated Yuki Iino, Yukio Naya & Daichi Sato when Higuchi pinned Sato with the Claw Slam (14:45).
6. Special 6-Man Tag Match: Yuki Ueno, Jun Akiyama & Antonio Honda defeated Gorgeous Matsuno, MAO & Toru Owashi when Akiyama submitted Matsuno with a Wrist Lock (0:29).
6a. Rematch: Gorgeous Matsuno, MAO & Toru Owashi defeated Yuki Ueno, Jun Akiyama & Antonio Honda when Matsuno pinned Honda with the Gorgeous Superstar Elbow (19:42).

The main event all of a sudden became even more important when Gorgeous Matsuno decided he would retire if he was to lose today because his body is pretty much at its limit. He challenged the “youngster” Jun Akiyama to give him everything he’s got in the match. Akiyama then applied a Wrist Lock and Matsuno quickly gave up to it. Everything then quickly moved on to Matsuno’s sudden retirement ceremony but the 10 bell salute continued into an 11th bell and would have continued when Matsuno’s partner Junko Tashiro got on the microphone to interrupt it. She told Matsuno he cannot give up under these circumstances and encouraged him to restart the main event with everyone agreeing to do so.

The rematch turned out much better for Matsuno as he got to win by giving Antonio Honda the 619 followed by the Gorgeous Superstar Elbow. Matsuno told everyone on the mic afterwards that he has thought about retirement almost every day for the last two or three years but as long as everyone will support him he will stay active for the rest of his life! The show ended with Matsuno and Tashiro performing a duet together although it was slightly delayed because Tashiro forgot to give her CD to the sound engineer.

A mixed tag match on the undercard included Arisu Endo and Moeka Haruhi taking part. Endo is from Aizuwakamatsu City in Fukushima while Haruhi’s sister lives in the region too. That is the same sister Haruhi donated her kidney to two years ago. She and her daughter presented Haruhi with a bouquet of flowers in the ring before the match. Endo got to take part in the SCHADENFREUDE International spots as well as do a Missile Dropkick jumping off of Chris Brookes’s shoulders (Brookes had to crouch down during it because Endo was up way too high for the move while he was standing). After everyone joined in for Kazuki Hirata’s dance, Endo lifted him up and landed the Ju no Okite on him for the victory.

DDT “SHOUT YOUR LOVE IN HAMA’S RING!” Results

November 22, 2025

DDT “SHOUT YOUR LOVE IN HAMA’S RING!”, 22/11/2025
Kanagawa Radiant Hall
??? Fans – Unannounced

1. Kazusada Higuchi, Yuki Iino & Yukio Naya defeated MJ Paul, Demus & Ilusion when Iino pinned Paul with the Spear (11:07).
2. Special Tag Match: MBM & Ultima Sombra defeated MAO (w/ KIMIHIRO) & Kazuma Sumi when MBM pinned Sumi with the Package Piledriver (9:15).
3. Akito 16th Anniversary Match: Rukiya & Hinata Kasai defeated Kazuki Hirata & Soma Takao when Rukiya submitted Hirata with a Crab Hold (7:42).
*Special Referee: Akito
4. Yuki Ishida & Daichi Sato defeated Takeshi Masada & Yuya Koroku when Ishida pinned Koroku with the Dosukoi Clutch (12:14).
5. O-40 Title: Daisuke Sasaki defeated Antonio Honda (c) with a Japanese Leg Roll Clutch Counter (12:36).
*Antonio Honda fails in V1. Daisuke Sasaki becomes the 8th O-40 Champion!
6. Special Single Match: Hideki Okatani defeated KANON (w/ KIMIHIRO) with a Gyaku-uchi (13:41).
7. Special Tag Match: Yuki Ueno, To-y & Chris Brookes defeated Super Sasadango Machine, Sanshiro Takagi & HARASHIMA when Ueno pinned Sasadango with a School Boy (17:37).

In the final warm up match before the next Korakuen Hall show, Yuki Ueno got one over on Super Sasadango Machine for the finish. Sasadango tried to put his own mask over Ueno’s face to blind him but Ueno blocked it. Instead, Ueno put the mask back on Sasadango backwards, Dropkicked him in the head and then pinned him with a School Boy. While Sanshiro Takagi and To-y argued after the match over gambling, Ueno spoke to Sasadango and asked why he decided to challenge him for the KO-D Openweight Title? Sasadango’s answer was he wants to beat Ueno, carry his beaten body to the merchandise venue like a knight carrying a rescued princess and then make a ton of money from taking photos with the fans. Ueno cut him off and asked what does Sasadango want to do if he becomes champion? Sasadango pointed out that a huge hole in the wrestling world will open up when Hiroshi Tanahashi retires on 24th January. Sasadango sees this as his opportunity to become the next ace of the entire pro wrestling industry!

Hideki Okatani is playing mind games on KANON ahead of their KO-D Tag Team Titles Match. At the contract signing during the show, Okatani told KANON that no matter where he goes he will always be an unwanted child. Even if MAO picked KANON up after he was kicked out of DAMNATION T.A, he is only going to be abandoned again. Daisuke Sasaki doesn’t want to bring him back into the group and is going to ruin his life even more when DAMNATION T.A take the KO-D Tag Titles away from Strange Love Connection. KANON told them he is having the most fun of his career right now because he now has friends he can rely on. MAO thinks the best way KANON can get revenge on DAMNATION T.A is to show off how much more lively he is without them. Later in the show, Okatani beat KANON in a grudge match thanks to Sasaki hitting KANON in the back with a chair. A brawl then broke out where DAMNATION T.A overwhelmed SLC and left all of them laying, KIMIHIRO included. Despite that, KANON is trying to play some mind games back by saying Sasaki actually does want him back even though Sasaki says otherwise.

Today is Sasaki’s 40th birthday and he got to celebrate it even more by winning the O-40 Title from Antonio Honda! The former champion decided to be gracious after the match by singing Happy Birthday but Sasaki didn’t want to hear it and walked off with the belt. Backstage Sasaki sent a message out to all of the best wrestlers over the age of 40 to come fight him for the belt. He wants the likes of Roman Reigns, Cody Rhodes, CM Punk and Brock Lesnar to all answer his challenge.

Akito decided to be a referee for a match celebrating the 16th Anniversary of his debut because it is something he has never done before. Both Kazuki Hirata & Soma Takao wanted Akito to call things in their favor because yesterday was Hirata’s birthday and Takao is celebrating three years of managing the Dropkick Bar. When Akito declined to help, they then tried to bribe him 3,000 yen. Akito accepted the deal and purposely counted fast for them while counting slow for Rukiya & Hinata Kasai. However he had a change of heart after Rukiya confronted him over his officiating and was convinced to change sides because Rukiya is worth more to him than 3,000 yen. Akito then instructed Rukiya how to correctly apply a Crab Hold and Rukiya used the move to successfully submit Hirata.

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “TJPW X OCHA NORMA – OCHA PRO☆KORAKUEN”, 07/12/2025
Tokyo Korakuen Hall

1. Ochanor Mask Vs X

Some more details about how the show will work out has been revealed. The event consists of two 25 minute long live performances from OCHA NORMA as well as five wrestling matches from Tokyo Joshi Pro. There will also be a performance from The Up Up Girls (Pro Wrestling) where they will cover an OCHA NORMA song. Some of the idols will be doing either commentary or ring announcing for the matches.

Not everyone will be welcoming OCHA NORMA in with open arms though. The group is often associated with tea but there are wrestlers in TJPW who much prefer to drink coffee instead. They are Yuki Kamifuku and Hyper Misao and they will be showing up to the event as the Coffee Breakers!

The Circus Studio, G Village, Bangkok, Thailand

1. Princess Of Princess Title: Miu Watanabe (c) Vs Matcha

During SETUP’s big show in Japan last week, Matcha successfully defended her SETUP All Asia Women’s Title and is ready to take on a bigger challenge. With TJPW heading the other direction to her home country of Thailand next month, she wants to fight Miu Watanabe for the Princess Of Princess Title! Watanabe accepted the challenge so she can make the championship even more illustrious.

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “TOKYO JOSHI PRO ’26”, 04/01/2026
Tokyo Korakuen Hall

1. Shoko Nakajima Vs Hyper Misao
2. Princess Of Princess Title: Miu Watanabe (c) Vs Suzume

Watanabe will be facing Suzume on 4th January with or without the Princess Title. If Watanabe loses the belt to Matcha in Thailand then her match with Suzume will still take place but will no longer have anything on the line.

Yuka Sakazaki is coming back to TJPW for a handful of appearances in 2026. The first will be at the Ittenyon show.
