BAKA GAIJIN + FRIENDS “VOL. THIRTEEN: SPEED OF LIFE”, 09/04/2024
Tokyo ARENA Shimokitazawa

1. 3 Way Dance: Munetatsu Nakamura Vs Baliyan Akki Vs Gaia Hox
2. Special Single Match: Antonio Honda Vs Maya Yukihi
3. Special Single Match: Chris Brookes Vs Miyuki Takase
4. Special Single Match: Tyrannosaurus Inoue Vs Takagi Sanshirobo

April’s trip to see Baka Gaijin + Friends has Miyuki Takase coming over to the cramped bar to fight Chris Brookes. There is also Maya Yukihi, Baliyan Akki and Gaia Hox coming back to the fold. Plus whatever the hell Tyrannosaurus Inoue Vs Takagi Sanshirobo is going to be. Sure, let’s have a dinosaur and a robot version of the boss tear the place up.

DDT “DRAMATIC DREAM TOUR 2024 IN FUKUOKA”, 13/04/2024
Fukuoka Nishitetsu Hall

1. 3 Way Match: Danshoku Dieno Vs Toru Owashi Vs Kazuma Sumi
2. Special 6-Man Tag Match: Yuki Ueno, MAO & Shunma Katsumata Vs Akito, HARASHIMA & Kota Umeda
3. O-40 Title: Makoto Oishi Vs Azul Dragon

It was discovered today that Makoto Oishi has been stripped of the O-40 Title because it has taken him too long to defend it. DDT has not said what the maximum time period allowed between defences is but Oishi won the belt on 21st March, 2023 and there hasn’t been a title match since. That’s a one day short of an entire year without Oishi defending the title (remember we’re in a leap year). However Oishi is getting a chance to win the title back and become a two time champion. He will have to beat Azul Dragon in a match where the vacant O-40 Title is up for grabs. Oishi is a little annoyed over the decision because 1) he never knew there was a deadline to set up a title defence and 2) Azul Dragon’s age is private so nobody knows if he is even eligible to compete for the championship.

BASARA “BASARA 246 ~UTAGE~”, 30/04/2024
Shin-Kiba 1st RING

1. Union MAX Title: Minoru Fujita (c) Vs Lil’ Kraken

So far in Minoru Fujita’s title reign he has defended the Union Max Title against Takato Nakano and Masato Kamino, two wrestlers from BASARA’s young generation. Lil’ Kraken paid attention to that connection and came to the conclusion that he should be next to get a title shot. Fujita only accepted his challenge because Kraken has a singles win over The Great Sasauke while he does not. He will not stand for that kind of discrepancy!

DDT “SPRING BEER GARDEN PRO WRESTLING – DAY 1”, 21/03/2024
Tokyo Ueno Park Outdoor Stage

1. Tetsuya Endo & Yuki Iino Vs Makoto Oishi & Yoshitatsu
2. Daisuke Sasaki, KANON & MJ Paul Vs HARASHIMA, Yukio Naya & Hideki Okatani
3. D GENERATIONS CUP 2024 – Round 1D: Yuya Koroku Vs Rukiya
4. D GENERATIONS CUP 2024 – Round 1C: Munetatsu Nakamura Vs Kazuma Sumi
5. D GENERATIONS CUP 2024 – Round 1B: To-y Vs Tsubasa Suzuki
6. D GENERATIONS CUP 2024 – Round 1A: Yuni Vs Ilusion
7. Special 6-Man Tag Match: Chris Brookes, Antonio Honda & Takeshi Masada Vs Danshoku Dieno, Yoshihiko & Pokotan

We begin the preview tag matches between Yuki Ueno and Akito and also start this year’s D GENERATIONS CUP.

DDT “DDT GOES PHILADELPHIA!”, 04/04/2024
Penn’s Landing Caterers Auditorium, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, USA

1. Special Tag Match: Daisuke Sasaki & KANON Vs Nick Wayne & Takeshi Masada
2. Special Tag Match: Chris Brookes & Kid Lykos Vs Bryan Keith & Shota
3. Special Single Match: Kazuki Hirata Vs Yoshihiko
4. Special Single Match: Tetsuya Endo Vs Andrew “The Giant” Everett
5. Special Single Match: KONOSUKE TAKESHITA Vs Shunma Katsumata
6. Special Single Match: Yuki Ueno Vs Mike Bailey
7. DDT Universal Title – No Rules Match: MAO (c) Vs Billie Starkz

The headline match for Philadelphia is definitely the craziest one on the list. MAO’s current DDT Universal Title reign is inspiring him to go out and set the world ablaze. Billie Starkz will be waiting for him at Wrestlemania Week and might be tempted to outdo whatever MAO comes up with.

Andrew Everett is already saying what the selling point of his match against Tetsuya Endo will be. Who has the better Shooting Star Press?

Last year we got to see Nick Wayne and Takeshi Masada gel together whenever Wayne appeared in DDT. That relationship started in America as opponents and will continue in America this time as a team against DAMNATION T.A.

DDT “APRIL FOOL 2024”, 07/04/2024
Tokyo Korakuen Hall

0. No Gamble FINAL!: Sanshiro Takagi, Akito & Toru Owashi Vs X
1. D GENERATIONS CUP 2024 – Final: X Vs X
2. Special Single Match: Shinya Aoki Vs Chihiro Hashimoto
3. DDT Extreme Title – Hardcore Match: Shunma Katsumata (c) Vs Hi69
4. KO-D Tag Team Titles: Tetsuya Endo & Yuki Iino (c) Vs Jun Akiyama & X
5. Dramatic Dream Tag Match: Yuki Ueno & MAO Vs Zack Sabre Jr. & Chris Brookes

BURNING is now a few months into life without Jun Akiyama guiding them. According to Endo the time is now for he and Yuki Iino to face Akiyama head on. They want to defend the KO-D Tag Team Titles against him and anyone else. Akiyama isn’t going to team with anyone else from D.O.A so who could it be? Another wrestler from BURNING’s history? Somebody Akiyama knows from AEW?

At last NOAH is crossing over into DDT a little bit more. Hi69 from the TEAM NOAH unit is interested in challenging for the DDT Extreme Title and will go through a Hardcore Match in order to win it. Shunma Katsumata is a little annoyed at how little Hi69 knows what the championship is all about. It’s more than just your typical Hardcore Title. Also it’s up to the champion to choose the match stipulation. Katsumata is willing to fight on Hi69’s terms to prove his point.

DDT “DDT X ZEEKSTAR TOKYO SPECIAL PERFORMANCE ~ DDZT”, 26/04/2024
Tokyo Sumida Ward General Gymnasium

1. Keigo Nakamura Return Match: Keigo Nakamura Vs X
2. KO-D 6-Man Tag Team Titles: Jun Akiyama, Danshoku Dieno & Makoto Oishi (c) Vs Daisuke Sasaki, KANON & MJ Paul
3. KO-D Openweight Title: Yuki Ueno (c) Vs Akito

There’s been a specific list of wrestlers Yuki Ueno wanted to defend the KO-D Openweight Title against in order to establish himself as the new ace of the company. He has just one more name to tick off and that is Akito. While the match does not sound like a major contest on paper, Akito is somebody who eats, sleeps and breathes DDT 24/7 while working as the company’s vice president. If beating Ueno for the KO-D Title is what it takes for Akito to prove how much he loves the company more than anyone else then so be it.

D.O.A ended the existence of Zuncha♪Muscle Survivor over the weekend and now find themselves under threat by DAMNATION T.A. Remember, the current KO-D 6-Man Tag Team Champions made a deal with each other to disband once they lose the titles. It could happen here.

After being out of action with injury for almost a year, Keigo Nakamura will return to the ring a the end of April. Hopefully he got his right knee sorted this time because it’s an injury that has hampered his wrestling career right when it started to pick up.

DDT “WRESTLE PETER PAN 2024”, 21/07/2024
Tokyo Ryogoku Kokugikan

1. KO-D Openweight Title: Yuki Ueno (c) Vs X

There will be a couple more KO-D Title defences going on between April and July so who knows who will be the defending champion when DDT returns to Sumo Hall.

Both Konosuke Takeshita and El Desperado will be on the show.

4. Yuki Aino, Raku & Pom Harajuku Vs Suzume, Arisu Endo & HIMAWARI
5. Wakana Uehara & Toga Vs Haru Kazashiro & Runa Okubo
6. Miyu Yamashita, Mizuki & Shoko Nakajima Vs Miu Watanabe, Yuki Kamifuku & Nao Kakuta

This will be the last proper Tokyo Joshi Pro show before “GRAND PRINCESS ’24” at the end of the month. There’s a few small scale sideshows coming up but this is pretty much the go home show. So it’s the final chance for Miyu Yamashita and Miu Watanabe to square off in non-title action as well as Yuki Aino against Daisy Monkey.

The show also has some returns. Maki Itoh will be back from America as the brand new GCW Extreme Champion. Also Runa Okubo has her first match since the start of January.

Hyper Misao is still out of action with a lower back injury. She hasn’t been booked for either of the side TJPW shows coming up so her return will be at Sumo Hall.

DDT “DDT GOES PHILADELPHIA!”, 04/04/2024
Penn’s Landing Caterers Auditorium, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, USA

1. Special Tag Match: Chris Brookes & Kid Lykos Vs Bryan Keith & Shota
2. Special Single Match: Kazuki Hirata Vs Yoshihiko
3. Special Single Match: KONOSUKE TAKESHITA Vs Shunma Katsumata
4. Special Single Match: Yuki Ueno Vs Mike Bailey

Two more matches added to the DDT USA show. The big one is Konosuke Takeshita facing his old buddy Shunma Katsumata! Last year’s show was a chance for Takeshita to see what Yuki Ueno is like without him. Now it is Katsumata’s turn to step up to him.

A CCK reunion is on the card! Chris Brookes & Kid Lykos are back together for a match against the wild card pairing of Bryan Keith & Shota.

DDT “EARLY SUMMER BEER GARDEN PRO WRESTLING – DAY 2”, 17/05/2024
Tokyo Ueno Park Outdoor Stage

1. Danshoku Dieno Birthday Eve Commemorative Match: Danshoku Dieno Vs X

Two Beer Garden shows will be happening right before Danshoku Dieno’s birthday. He is getting a special match on the second show to celebrate it.

GLEAT/DDT “GLEAT VER. &”, 06/06/2024
Tokyo Korakuen Hall

This was announced earlier today during the GLEAT show at Korakuen Hall. Their 6th June show at the same venue will be a collaboration with DDT wrestlers. I’ll wait and see how much of the show will be built around GLEAT Vs DDT matches.

12. KO-D Openweight Title: Yuki Ueno (c) Vs HARASHIMA

The Painful Jungle Death Match will feature dangerous items placed on or covering over each of the turnbuckle corners, turning the ring into a painful jungle! Shunma Katsumata hasn’t said what the weapons are and is keeping it quiet. It’s all up to Hideki Okatani and the fans to imagine what hazards he would put inside a “painful jungle” ring. Other death match weapons will be available to use in the match too.

DDT “SPRING BEER GARDEN PRO WRESTLING – DAY 1”, 21/03/2024
Tokyo Ueno Park Outdoor Stage

1. D GENERATIONS CUP 2024 – Round 1A: Yuni Vs Ilusion
2. D GENERATIONS CUP 2024 – Round 1B: To-y Vs Tsubasa Suzuki
3. D GENERATIONS CUP 2024 – Round 1C: Munetatsu Nakamura Vs Kazuma Sumi
4. D GENERATIONS CUP 2024 – Round 1D: Yuya Koroku Vs Rukiya
5. Special 6-Man Tag Match: Chris Brookes, Antonio Honda & Takeshi Masada Vs Danshoku Dieno, Yoshihiko & Pokotan

The Beer Garden show gives DDT an opportunity to stick three of their most iconic wrestlers together. Danshoku Dieno, Yoshihiko & Pokotan are going to join forces and become an unstoppable juggernaut for SCHADENFREUDE International to fight in a battle for the ages.

TOKYO JOSHI PRO/GANBARE☆JOSHI “SHUFFLE DATE 2024”, 22/03/2024
Tokyo Ueno Park Outdoor Stage

1. HARUKAZE & Kaya Toribami Vs Raku & Shino Suzuki
2. Yuki Kamifuku & YuuRI Vs HIMAWARI & Riara
3. Yuna Manase & Nao Kakuta Vs Shoko Nakajima & Yoshiko Hasegawa

There will be five matches in total for the Tokyo Joshi Pro and Ganbare☆Joshi collab show. The matches so far are mixing TJPW and GanPro together. Wakana Uehara, Toga and Haru Kazashiro will be on the show and are waiting to find out what their matches are. Sayuri Namba will be the ring announcer for the show. Sadly that means Michiko Nonaka won’t be there to represent the GanJo side.

DDT “SPRING BEER GARDEN PRO WRESTLING – DAY 2”, 26/03/2024
Tokyo Ueno Park Outdoor Stage

1. D GENERATIONS CUP 2024 – Semi Final: Winner Of Match 1A Vs Winner Of Match 1B
2. D GENERATIONS CUP 2024 – Semi Final: Winner Of Match 1C Vs Winner Of Match 1D
3. Tetsuya Endo & Toru Owashi (w/ Furitsuke Kamen) Vs Kazuki Hirata & Antonio Honda

Last year’s Beer Garden show saw the return of Furitsuke Kamen (aka Lucky Ikeda) to DDT. Looks like the Beer Garden shows are where he’s going to stay whenever he and DDT work together.

DDT “APRIL FOOL 2024 TOUR IN YOKOHAMA”, 30/03/2024
Yokohama Radiant Hall

1. Danshoku Dieno & Antonio Honda Vs Kazuki Hirata & Kazuma Sumi
2. Yuki Ueno, MAO & Yuni Vs Chris Brookes, Masahiro Takanashi & Takeshi Masada

The week before Yuki Ueno & MAO face Zack Sabre Jr. & Chris Brookes in Korakuen Hall, the two of them get to fight Brookes in a 6-Man Tag Match in Yokohama.

It’s been a long time since Danshoku Dieno & Antonio Honda teamed together. September 2021 was the last time if I got the Cagematch profiles correct.

DDT “DDT GOES PHILADELPHIA!”, 04/04/2024
Penns Landing Caterers Auditorium, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, USA

1. Special Single Match: Kazuki Hirata Vs Yoshihiko
2. Special Single Match: Yuki Ueno Vs Mike Bailey

Did the announcement of Kazuki Hirata Vs Yoshihiko in Philadelphia not do anything for you? Then how about Yuki Ueno against Mike Bailey in a first time singles match between the two?

TOKYO JOSHI PRO/BASARA “GAISEN SAKURA PRO WRESTLING”, 14/04/2024
Okayama Shinjo Village Outdoor Ring

The day long event will have BASARA matches in the late morning and TJPW matches in the afternoon. So I may split this into two separate shows when writing about them.

The winner automatically qualifies for the King Of DDT tournament scheduled for May. The 1st Round and semi-final matches all have a 15 minute time limit. If there is a time limit draw then both wrestlers are eliminated. The final has no time limit. The participants are:

Yuni
To-y
Yuya Koroku
Ilusion

DDT “FIGHTING BEER GARDEN – DAY 2” Results

August 29, 2023

DDT “FIGHTING BEER GARDEN – DAY 2”, 29/08/2023
Tokyo Ueno Park Outdoor Stage
418 Fans – No Vacancy

1. 3 Way Tag Match ~ Pheromones Escape Rules: Toy Kojima & Kazuma Sumi defeated Yuki “Sexy” Iino & Danshoku “Dandy” Dieno and Yusuke Okada & Yuya Koroku when Sumi escaped Pheromones (10:00).
2. Different Mixed Martial Arts Special Tag Match: Shinya Aoki & Yuki Ishida defeated Thanomsak Toba & Rukiya when Aoki pinned Rukiya with the European Clutch (5:39).
3. Table Crash Match: Yuko Miyamoto defeated Hideki Okatani with the Fire Thunder from the stage through the Table (12:09).
4. Rock ‘n’ Roll 3 Way Death Match: Yuni defeated Kazuki Hirata and A.YAZAWA when Yuni pinned YAZAWA with a School Boy (9:52).
5. Daisuke Sasaki, KANON & MJ Paul defeated Yuji Hino, Makoto Oishi & Ilusion when KANON pinned Ilusion with the Sleepy Hollow (9:18).
6. Drunk Tag Match: Yukio Sakaguchi & Saki Akai Vs HARASHIMA & Akito ended in a No Contest (13:22).
7. Beer Garden Specialty Customer Lottery 6-Man Tag Match ~ Costume Change Match: Chris Brookes, Jun Akiyama & Yukio Naya defeated Kazusada Higuchi, Yuki Ueno & Takeshi Masada when Brookes pinned Masada with the Praying Mantis Bomb (16:03).

The teams in the main event were determined by fans picking names out of a box by random fans in the audience. The result ended up being Chris Brookes, Jun Akiyama & Yukio Naya against Kazusada Higuchi, Yuki Ueno & Takeshi Masada. However as an added bonus it was the match also had all the wrestlers swapping ring gear and pretending to be each other. Brookes was Masada, Akiyama was Naya (wig included), Naya was Higuchi, Higuchi was Akiyama, Ueno was Brookes and Masada was Ueno. Brookes ended up going back to his own moveset to pin Masada with the Praying Mantis Bomb.

The rules of the Drunk Tag Match was after every two minutes every wrestler had to press down a tooth on a crocodile toy game. If the crocodile bites the wrestler’s finger then that person’s team had to drink a cup of tequila. The rule also applied to kickouts and rope breaks. HARASHIMA, Akito and Yukio Sakaguchi had already spent all day drinking beer and continued to do so while they wrestled. They also purposely lost the crocodile game so they could drink even more. Soon other people not involved in the match like Hideki Okatani and Gota Ihashi joined in the fun. Saki Akai got so drunk she fell asleep on the ring apron. Ihashi placed a towel over her body so she wouldn’t catch a cold. That accidentally woke Akai up and she freaked out seeing Ihashi stand over her. Everyone including Kazuki Hirata then calmed her down by singing until she went back to sleep. Yukinori Matsui then decided to call the match off so nobody would wake her up again.

As I expected, Antonio Honda was replaced by A.YAZAWA in the Rock ‘n’ Roll Death Match. It was also a 3 Way instead of a 4 Way because of MAO’s absence. YAZAWA, Hirata and Yuni all expected their match to be interrupted by rock music but they also got songs like Tokyo Ondo, underground idol tracks and Swan Lake. Both Yuni and Hirata piled on top of YAZAWA for the pinfall but since Yuni was the one directly pressing down on YAZAWA he was declared the winner.

Match #3 was unexpectedly announced as a Table Crash Match right before it started. Yuko Miyamoto was able to beat Okatani by putting him through a table placed over a kiddie pool at ringside with the Fire Thunder Driver. Miyamoto complained about getting his gear wet but was still happy with the result. He told Okatani they will have their decisive battle at Ota Ward Gymnasium on 9th September when Triple Six faces Eruption. He also wants that match to be for whatever trios championship Eruption are holding on the day.

The opening match was a Pheromones Escape Match. Different missions were given out by Pheromones for the other teams to accomplish while fighting each other. If a wrestler failed a mission then a piece of the ring gear would be stripped off. Also if a wrestler got their head shoved into Yuki Iino’s backside they would be instantly eliminated from the match. Whichever team had the most points (or any survivors) at the end of ten minutes will be the winner. The teams had to sell beer to fans, find hidden O-back lingerie hidden around the venue and more. By the end of the time limit Kazuma Sumi was the sole survivor, winning the match for his team. His partner Toy Kojima shoved his face into Iino’s backside after the match anyway.

Before I Go To All In This Weekend

August 23, 2023

I’ll be travelling to England this weekend to see AEW in Wembley. I will also be at the EVE/ChocoPro show on Saturday night to see what Miyu Yamashita will get up to. I’ll be around to post the results for tomorrow’s Baka Gaijin show but after that my next post here won’t be until Monday night at the very earliest. If the build up of news and reports after I come back is too much I may delay this month’s DDT Around The World article by a few days. But I’m not going to get worried over that right now. Should be a fun weekend.

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “TJPW CITY CIRCUIT ’23 ~AUTUMN TOUR OPENING ROUND~”, 03/09/2023

6. 8-Woman Tag Match: Rika Tatsumi & Miu Watanabe, Shoko Nakajima & Hyper Misao, Yuki Kamifuku & Mahiro Kiryu, Raku & Pom Harajuku

In a preview of the upcoming Princess Tag Team Titles tournament, four of the teams involved will be put into an 8-Woman Tag Match. A lottery will determine which teams will be teaming up with each other. The four taking part are Daydream, Kyoraku Kyomei, Toyo Mates and Raku & Pom Harajuku.

A first time ever singles match between Mizuki and Juria Nagano takes place on the show.

Miyu Yamashita, Nao Kakuta and Arisu Endo will still be absent for the same reasons they are missing this weekend’s Osaka show. Yamashita is in England, Kakuta is in a stage play and Endo is injured.

DDT “DRAMATIC EXPLOSION 2023”, 18/09/2023
Nagoya International Conference Center Event Hall

1. Current Blast Death Match: Atsushi Onita & Yoshitatsu Vs Jun Akiyama & Kotaro Suzuki

It used to be that Jun Akiyama never wanted to do Explosion Death Matches and now he’s going to do two in the same month! Akiyama already has one coming up on 9th September and now Atsushi Onita convinced him to take part in another one nine days later. However if Akiyama’s team beats Onita’s team on the 9th then Akiyama & Kotaro Suzuki’s match here against Onita & Yoshitatsu will have the All Asia Tag Team Titles on the line. If not then this will be a non-title match. Either way, Onita has dragged Akiyama into doing his specialty death match twice!

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “WRESTLE PRINCESS IV”, 09/10/2023

The main event spot goes to ROMANCE DAWN since the show is Soma Takao’s homecoming.

Yuki Ueno has a fever and will miss tomorrow’s show. Yuya Koroku moves out of the Handicap Match to take Ueno’s place in Match #5.

The match between Makoto Oishi and KANON will now be a Just No Fall No Rope Match. There will be no ropes attached to the ring and the match cannot be won by pinfall. Instead either submissions, knockouts or countouts can end the match.

Shigehiro Irie has the wins over Chris Brookes so far with some thanks to Jun Akiyama being on his team. This weekend Irie swaps Akiyama for HARASHIMA while Brookes is teaming with Takeshi Masada again.

DDT “FIGHTING BEER GARDEN – DAY 2”, 29/08/2023
Tokyo Ueno Park Outdoor Stage

1. 3 Way Tag Match: Yuki “Sexy” Iino & Danshoku “Dandy” Dieno Vs Yusuke Okada & Yuya Koroku Vs Toy Kojima & Kazuma Sumi

6. Special Single Match: Yuko Miyamoto Vs Hideki Okatani
7. Beer Garden Specialty Customer Lottery 6-Man Tag Match: Chris Brookes, Jun Akiyama, Kazusada Higuchi, Yuki Ueno, Yukio Naya and Takeshi Masada

The KO-D 6-Man Tag Team Titles match gets a warm up bout when one third of the current champions Hideki Okatani faces Yuko Miyamoto.

A tag match built around the different martial arts of each competitor is being put together. Shinya Aoki represents Judo, Yuki Ishida represents (Sumo), Thanomsak Toba represents Kickboxing and Rukiya represents Grappiling.

The Rock ‘n’ Roll Death Match returns to the Beer Garden! When music plays you must dance no matter what! Don’t know why they have faith in Antonio Honda showing up though. He often misses these things and need to be replaced by someone else. What’s A.YAZAWA up to?

BASARA “BASARA 227 ~UTAGE~”, 29/08/2023
Shin-Kiba 1st RING

1. SAGAT Vs Yasu Urano

6. Union MAX Title: Takumi Tsukamoto (c) Vs FUMA

The young team of Lil’ Kraken & Leo Isaka faces their biggest challenge yet against Isami Kodaka and a returning Ryuichi Sekine.

The mystery wrestler teaming with Pheromones is Yuki Kamifuku… or as she’s being called here, Yuki “Pretty” Kamifuku! She thought her nickname was going to be “Cool” or “Sexy” but understands that it goes without saying she is already those things.

DDT “DDT YOKOHAMA UNLIMITED EX”, 03/09/2023
Kanagawa Yokohama Skill Culture Center

1. Special Tag Match: Chris Brookes & Kazusada Higuchi Vs Shigehiro Irie & Soma Takao
2. Yuki Ueno Birthday Commemorative Match ~ Special Single Match: Yuki Ueno Vs Toy Kojima

KANON might need ropes and pinfalls in order to fight Yuji Hino.

Yuki Ueno turns 28 next month and will fight Toy Kojima to celebrate it.

Naruki Doi will be on the show. Will he still have the Iron Man Heavymetalweight Title with him?

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “TJPW CITY CIRCUIT ’23 ~FIRST ATTACK ON HIROSHIMA~”, 09/09/2023
Hiroshima Industrial Hall West Exhibition Hall 2nd Exhibition Hall

1. Princess Tag Team Titles 1st Qualifier ~ 3 Way Tag Match: Shoko Nakajima & Hyper Misao Vs Hikari Noa & Nao Kakuta Vs Raku & Pom Harajuku

A six team mini-tournament will determine who will become the next Princess Tag Team Champions. The winners of two 3 Way Tag Matches will face off at “WRESTLE PRINCESS IV” for the vacant titles. In the first 3 Way Tag Match Kyoraku Kyomei, Free WiFi and the pairing of Raku & Pom Harajuku will all fight each other.

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “TJPW CITY CIRCUIT ’23 ~YUKI ARAI LOCAL TRIUMPH~”, 10/09/2023
Kyoto KBS Hall

1. Princess Tag Team Titles 2nd Qualifier ~ 3 Way Tag Match: Rika Tatsumi & Miu Watanabe Vs Yuki Kamifuku & Mahiro Kiryu Vs Suzume & Arisu Endo

The second 3 Way Tag Match takes place the next day. Here it will be Daydream against Toyo Mates against Daisy Monkey.

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “WRESTLE PRINCESS IV”, 09/10/2023
Tokyo Tama Mirai Messe

1. Sakisama, Mei Saint-Michel, Martha & Yukio Saint Laurent Vs X, X, X & X
2. Special Single Match: Nyla Rose Vs Maki Itoh
3. Princess Tag Team Titles: Winners Of 09/09 Match Vs Winners Of 09/10 Match
4. Princess Of Princess Title: Mizuki (c) Vs Miyu Yamashita

Daydream are the only previous champion team involved in the tournament so the final will feature at least one pairing who were never champions together before. However if Kyoraku Kyomei and Daydream both win then that means the final consists of all former tag champions.
