6. Old Hard Hit Rules ~ Double Bout: HARASHIMA (1D/3E) & Daichi Sato (1D/3E) defeated Kazusada Higuchi (1D/2E) & Yuya Koroku (1D/2E) when HARASHIMA submitted Koroku with a Cross Armbreaker (9:14).
7. Unit Shuffle! Special 6-Man Tag Match: MAO (w/ KIMIHIRO), Chris Brookes & Yuki Iino defeated KANON, Antonio Honda & Yukio Naya when Brookes submitted Honda with a Modified Stretch (22:58).
The second DDT show of the day featured several novelty matches, the likes of which you would see at a Beer Garden show. The main event was a 6-Man Tag that split wrestlers from Strange Love Connection, The Apex and FANTÔMES DRAMATIC onto separate sides. That meant MAO had to fight KANON, Yuki Iino had to fight Yukio Naya and Chris Brookes had to fight Antonio Honda. The wild card was KIMIHIRO who decided to climb the top rope and dive onto SLC and The Apex outside the ring. That left Honda free to put Brookes in the Octopus Hold but Brookes lifted him up and countered the move into a Modified Stretch to make Honda give up. After the match MAO and KANON spoke about how glad they are to be each other’s tag team partner. MAO also enjoyed teaming with Iino and said had things gone differently maybe they could have been allies instead of rivals. SLC then told Naya they will go have a victory meal at his father’s restaurant after they beat The Apex. Brookes said he will soon win both the KO-D Openweight Title and the DDT Universal Title with Fandora by his side.
Yuki Ueno suffered a calf injury at the Osaka show a few days ago and was unable to wrestle today. Daichi Sato replaced him in the Hard Hit Rules match. The rules were both teams started the match with 8 points and they would be deducted a point for every knock down, rope break and foul. The match could be won by Pinfall, Submission, Knockout, TKO from reducing the other team to zero points or by having the most points remaining after the time had expired.
Ueno was in attendance for the show and did go into the ring for the tag match between To-y, Kazuki Hirata and their invisible tag team partners. When the match was over an invisible version of Ueno suddenly appeared and attacked both Hirata and To-y! The real Ueno shook and then raised his hand.
Junta Miyawaki approached Shinya Aoki after Match #4 to tell him one of the reasons he joined DDT is to fight him. He has looked up to Aoki ever since he was a school boy and has studied his instruction manual. He challenged Aoki to a match on 25th January. Aoki happily accepted his request and said Miyawaki has a strong desire to move up from where he’s currently at. However Aoki does not want to be surpassed by Miyawaki and is determined to win the match.
Today’s doubleheader were the last two matches for Demus in DDT before he goes back home to Mexico. He was given a fitting farewell match where he and Daisuke Sasaki wagered their hair against the plastic bag masks of Sumicaras & Yunicaras. Victory went to DAMNATION T.A thanks to some cheating and Yunicaras was unmasked to reveal it was Yuni all along. However Sumicaras fled the scene before his mask could be taken so his identity remains a complete mystery for now.
During Match #2, the D GENERATIONS team all disappeared briefly only to return copying the gimmicks of their opponents. Yuki Ishida turned into Akito, Ryoma Tsukamoto wore a Super Sasadango Machine mask, Takeshi Masada became Toru Owashi and Rukiya copied Danshoku Dieno right down to putting himself into the Hell Gate position. He was left alone by everyone else and became abandoned in the ring by himself after the match ended.

Just two days after SCHADENFREUDE International disbanded, Chris Brookes has quickly established a brand new unit to replace it. He held a press conference before the first match to reveal FANTÔMES DRAMATIC as the name of his new group, or “Fanodra” for short. He had already invited two wrestlers to join and they both accepted. They are Antonio Honda and HARASHIMA. The fourth member though was called down to the ring by Brookes so he could invite them in person. That turned out to be Hinata Kasai and he took a shirt to take his new place in FANTÔMES DRAMATIC. Fandora then went on to win their first match in the main event, beating The 37KAMIINA (plus Kazusada Higuchi) and DAMNATION T.A in a 3 Way Trios match, dragging Yuki Ueno and Daisuke Sasaki into the current 3 way main event feud. Honda said this unit will bring new drama to DDT and they will use all sort of combinations to win many of the company’s championships.
There was also a press conference for the KO-D Tag Team Titles match contract signing between Strange Love Connection and The Apex. According to Yuki Iino, the only reason The Apex lost the titles to SLC last November was because Chihiro Hashimoto got in the way. This time she won’t be here so Iino can entirely focus on getting his hands on MAO and beating him to get the belts back. KANON was a little disappointed to be ignored by Iino but he probably regretted that later in the show when Iino pinned him with two Spears. Now Iino is paying attention to him and he enjoyed taking his Chops and Lariats today. It also means Iino & Yukio Naya are happy to beat either MAO or KANON to win the titles again.
Some of the lineup was kept secret until the day of the show. One of the unannounced matches was a 3 Way between Akito, Danshoku Dieno and Kazuki Hirata but nobody involved in the match were happy being booked this way. When the match began all three wrestlers either sat down or laid motionless until Hisaya Imabayashi asked them what was going on? They told him they were on strike because they all felt like they were being used as leftovers for the show. Imabayashi got to motivate them by promising to fulfill one wish from the match winner. Dieno wanted a photoshoot with his pet dog Haku, Hirata asked for a refreshed stock of Hirata GO! glasses and Akito aimed to take over Imabayashi’s role as the DDT GM! In an effort to protect his own job, Imabayashi tried to help Dieno and Hirata win instead of Akito. He also took inspiration from yesterday’s Tokyo Dome main event to attack Akito himself but that ended up backfiring on him spectacularly. Instead, Akito trapped the other three in a Triple Figure 4 Leg Lock to win the match. Imabayashi tearfully agreed to make Akito the GM but only on the condition that Akito can make his dream of DDT holding a show in the Tokyo Dome come true. Akito then revealed he would not take over as GM as all he wanted from Imabayashi was to hear him passionately talk about his dream. He promised him they will aim to make that dream come true together.
The opening day of the fourth annual D GENERATIONS CUP made up the majority of this show’s undercard. Daichi Sato’s debut in the tournament got off to a good start with him beating Yuki Ishida with the Fire Thunder followed by the Mad Splash. He said he will continue this momentum to win the rest of his block matches. Kazuma Sumi survived getting hit with a KO-D 10-Man Tag Team Title belt to beat Ilusion. He credited his own quick wits to get the better of his masked opponent. Ilusion denied losing the match and warns the company is doomed unless he wins.
Over in the B Block, last year’s winner Yuya Koroku is looking to achieve the repeat. He beat Rukiya to kick off his campaign right, avenging a loss to him from the 2024 DGC. If there’s one thing Koroku does not want to happen, it’s to lose to anyone younger than him in this tournament. Yuni may cause him some trouble then because the fresh college student scored his first ever DGC win by beating Hinata Kasai in the opener. Yuni said he is going to cherish every victory but won’t be satisfied with only having one win.
