7. Hakata Specialty 3 Way Super Tag Battle: Shigehiro Irie & Takao Soma defeated Kota Ibushi & Kenny Omega and Danshoku Dino & Makoto Oishi when Irie pinned Oishi with the Flying Sausage (14:51).

Keisuke Ishii is now all clear to cash in his Right To Challenge Anytime, Anywhere Contract at Korakuen Hall on 23/6. Tsurumi Amon told Ishii and Shigehiro Irie after the main event that their KO-D Openweight Title match will be the first time he will see two wrestlers from the same young generation fight over the championship. Both champion and challenger said they will win because they will be at their best at Korakuen.

By winning the main event, Shigehiro Irie & Takao Soma were rewarded with a 10,000 yen meal ticket for the local mall.

Antonio Honda saved Daisuke Sasaki from losing his Right To Challenge contract to Yukio Sakaguchi in their tag team match. Sakaguchi had Sasaki in the Choke Sleeper and was about to win by ref stoppage when Honda ran in and attacked Daisuke Kiso, instantly getting his team disqualified but preventing the contract from switching hands. Honda also taunted Sakaguchi during the match by impersonating Antonio Inoki and yelling “Sakaguchi! Come!” whenever Yukio hit him with a Leg Kick.

Mentai☆Kid replaced the injured Tetsuya Endo in the opening match. Toru Owashi was not happy with the choice. The tag team match was fought under Lucha Libre rules and Owashi succeeded with his new partner. He even got into the Lucha spirit a little bit by using La Magistral Cradle to win the match.

DDT “WHAT ARE YOU DOING 2013”, 23/06/2013
Tokyo Korakuen Hall

1. Iron Man Heavymetalweight Title – Battle Royal: Yoshihiko (c) Vs X
2. KO-D Openweight Title: Shigehiro Irie (c) Vs Keisuke Ishii

The main event will change if Keisuke Ishii loses his Right To Challenge Anytime, Anywhere Contract at any show before then. The contract is the only claim Ishii has to a title shot and he has confirmed he will cash it in at Korakuen Hall. Between now and then he risks losing the contract to either a member of Ura-Shima-Kudo, a member of the Golden Rendezvous or Akito. If Akito beats Ishii, he will also cash it in at Korakuen Hall and take on Irie for the KO-D Title.

Isami Kodaka and Yuko Miyamoto are scheduled to wrestle on the show, most likely teaming together.

Despite forming a tag team, Sanshiro Takagi and Toru Owashi complained about having to enter the ring together for their matches. They wanted to have separate entrances and played a game of Rock, Paper, Scissors to decide who gets to enter second. Owashi won but Tsurumi Amon told him he cannot use “Sandstorm” by Darude because Wanderlei Silva was using that song for the UFC show that was currently taking place in the Saitama Super Arena at the same time. Amon gave Owashi the choice of either keeping his music and coming out first for his match or taking the second entrance along with a new theme song. Owashi was torn with the decision but picked the second entrance. Takagi chose the theme song of a TV drama called “Best Divorce” as Owashi’s new song.
