We’re less than a month away from “ULTIMATE PARTY 2025” and the entire lineup has fallen into place after today’s show. First up there was the matter of the KO-D 6-Man Tag Team Titles match to deal with. It was another chance for Yuki Ueno and Minoru Suzuki to fight each other but other parties was at play too. Kaisei Takechi wanted to test himself against Suzuki so he can experience the thrill of that first hand. Suzuki definitely made sure it was an experience hat Takechi isn’t going to forget anytime soon. HARASHIMA & Yuya Koroku were both willing to team with Suzuki since it was a good shot at both of them winning a championship again. Takechi had To-y helping out when he could and he was even able to hold Suzuki back while Ueno pinned Koroku with the WR for a successful title defence.
Suzuki shrugged off the loss and pointed out that Ueno couldn’t beat him today. The one who is going to hold the KO-D Openweight Title and DDT Universal Title together at the same time first will be Minoru Suzuki! Ueno talked back and said he will beat the “King Of Pro Wrestling” because he is the “King Of DDT“! Suzuki then reintroduced himself to DDT’s “King” and the two grabbed each other by the neck before shoving each other away. When Suzuki left, Takechi talked about his upcoming Sumo Hall tag match where he will team with Konosuke Takeshita. The other team hasn’t been announced yet but Takechi heard that Takeshita wants Kazusada Higuchi to be one of the opponents. Takechi wants to nominate a wrestler too. He wants to fight one of his opponents from his debut match, Takeshi Masada! The request was accepted and the tag match will be Takeshita & Takechi versus Higuchi & Masada.
The challenges are only ramping up higher for The Apex. Today they had to defend the KO-D Tag Team Titles against the Harimao pair of Higuchi & Yuki Ishida. The latter was no problem for Yuki Iino & Yukio Naya to handle but Higuchi remained a regular presence in the match to keep it difficult for the champions. Ishida got to give Naya a taste of their own medicine and throw him around with a Superplex. But one Dosuoki Splash after the other from Higuchi and then Ishida wasn’t enough to win. Iino used the Spear on Higuchi to get rid of him while Ishida couldn’t get the victory with the Flame Palm or the Dosukoi Clutch. Instead Naya cut him off with a Knee Lift and used The World’s Best Back Drop to put the spirited underdog away.
Naya said Ishida thinks of himself as pathetic and embarrassing but after the match they just had, nobody will think that of him now. Naya had a senior that pulled him out of being hopeless and helped turn him into the wrestler he is today. He reminded Ishida that he has many supporting seniors around him and he is a strong DDT wrestler. The two shook hands over it before The Apex turned their attention to their next title defence. They suddenly received a video message from Team 200kg asking for a title shot! Iino went looking around Korakuen Hall to see if Chihiro Hashimoto was really in the venue but neither she nor Yuu were there. Naya reminded everyone that Hashimoto has singles match wins against Iino so of course Iino would have unfinished business with her. Suddenly the Strange Love Connection then entered the ring. MAO revealed he’s had a secret plan up until now to bulk up and weigh over 100kg so he can beat either The Apex or Harimao for the tag titles. Since KANON now weighs 103kg that means SLC can be called Team 200kg too but Iino now has Hashimoto on his mind so the secret plan has been ruined. Hisaya Imabayashi came up with a solution. The KO-D Tag Titles will be on the line at Sumo Hall in a Survival 3 Way between The Apex, SLC and Team 200kg!
Kazuki Hirata had to rely on all of his wits and luck to just have a chance at beating Shinya Aoki. Instead it went beyond that. Hirata first asked for the match to have special rules including joint locks being banned and Aoki needing a 10 count pin to win. Aoki refused and got the match to start normally. Hirata left the ring when the going got tough and used the ringside attendants Rukiya and Hinata Kasai as shields when Aoki did a Topé Suicida onto them. Aoki seemed to lose him temper and threw everyone including the referee into the front row before attacking them all with chairs. Imabayashi tried to stop Aoki but the fighter then grabbed him in a Sleeper Hold and dragged him around ringside. Back in the ring Rukiya and Kasai tried to help Hirata but Aoki quickly regained momentum. That was until Imabayashi reappeared and grabbed Aoki from the top rope! Hirata & Imabayashi worked together but Aoki again took back control. However Hirata kicked out of the European Clutch, Imabayashi gave him the Stunner and Hirata applied the Miracle One Shot Cradle. Aoki briefly reversed it but it was reversed back resulting in an upset victory for Hirata! Their actions unexpectedly earned them Aoki’s respect and Imabayashi was carried out of the arena on top of Hirata and Aoki’s shoulders while the Pride FC victory theme played. Backstage Hirata said that maybe with this new bond he, Aoki & Imabayashi might one day challenge for the KO-D 6-Man Tag Titles. Aoki was told a friendship was born but he joked it will break soon. He doesn’t understand how he has all of a sudden drifted away from the KO-D Title scene like this.
Match #4 was changed from an 8-Man Tag to a 6-Man Tag because Ilusion was feeling unwell and couldn’t wrestle. SLC welcomed back Kumadori so they could go fight against DAMNTION T.A together. Daisuke Sasaki tripped Kumadori while he was going for a dive and put him in the Crossface Lock. MAO tried a hot tag but Hideki Okatani attacked him with the bamboo stick to cut him off. KANON came to the rescure by Suplexing MJ Paul so SLC & Kumadori could all do flippy drop moves on top of him. Paul resisted Hurricane Kicks and Lariats until a Cross Lariat/McEnroe combo by SLC finally took him down. MAO then finished him off with the Cannonball 450. MAO said things are livening up with SLC thanks to KIMIHIRO’s rapping and Kumadori’s dance moves. Pro wrestling is 80% about the entrances anyway. Kumadori hasn’t forgotten about Ilusion though. He advised him to get plenty of rest and sleep so they can wrestle once he’s fully recovered.
The young tag team of Daichi Sato & Rukiya got an upset win over the veterans Jun Akiyama & Tomomitsu Matsunaga. Rukiya got Body Slammed to heck and back before getting thrown into the ring post. Sato was put through the meat grinder too with Lariats and a Scorpion Death Lock but Rukiya was able to break him free. Rukiya then Double Dropkicked the other team, allowing Sato to build up momentum with differen kicks to Matsunaga. That kept Matsunaga down long enough for Sato to land the Mad Splash and pin him. Both he and Rukiya gave Akiyama a respectful bow after the match.
The rubber band spot backfired on SCHADENFREUDE International early on in their match when Antonio Honda tripped and hurt his knee while he was walking up the steps. The other team simply let go of the band while he was explaining what happened and the band snapped into him. Fuminori Abe then got permission from a fan sitting in a wheelchair at ringside to push them into Honda while Chris Brookes was chasing Akito around the ring. After the big Gongitsune spot, Brookes twisted Super Sasadango Machine’s mask over his eyes to blind him and then did a Codebreaker/Back Senton combo with Masada. Honda then pinned Sasadango with the Diving Fist Drop for the win.
Kazuma Sumi was moved from Match #4 to the opener because of Ilusion’s absence. Keisuke Ishii was also added to the match to even up the numbers, making him and Soma Takao opponents for the first time in a while. The change gave Sumi and Munetatsu Nakamura an opportunity to show off their agility against each other. Hinata Kasai tried to beat Sumi at his own game with School Boy pins but Sumi fought him off. Kasai then switched to a Backslide Pin and pulled off the move with help from Nakamura’s Super Kick. But Naomi Yoshimura broke the pin. Sumi got back on his feet and used the Tiger Feint Kick to give himself the momentum to swing Kasai into the School Boy for the three count out of nowhere.
A happy and relaxed looking Danshoku Dieno greeted the fans during the show to update everyone on his current status. He recently underwent emergency surgery for appendicitis that removed all of the toxins in his body. His return match will be at Sumo Hall on 3rd November where everyone will see a more beautiful side of him than ever before. He is currently only at 70% fitness but he is using his regular walks with his pet dog Haku to get his conditioning back. At the end of the show it was revealed that Dieno’s return match will be against Daisuke Sasaki! Dieno said backstage that when he was laying in his hospital bed he thought back on some of his past actions and felt embarrassed. He promised this more beautiful side of Dieno will wrestle clean matches from now on. When Sasaki found out about the match announcement it reminded him of the main event they had at “RYOGOKU PETER PAN 2018” where Dieno wrestled the late portion of the match completely naked. Sasaki warned Dieno that DDT is expecting them to deliver a rematch that goes beyond nudity this time! Dieno apparently has no memory of that match (he ended up being locked in a casket after losing and the trauma he suffered had blocked his memory) and doesn’t understand what Sasaki means by going beyond nudity.
The full card for “ULTIMATE PARTY 2025” was announced at the end of the show. The match order outside of the opening bout and the main event has not been decided on yet.

DDT “REMBRANDT HIGHWAY SERIES 2025 ~HIDDEN GEM IN MACHIDA~ BORDERLINE TREASURES”, 12/10/2025
Tokyo Machida Rembrandt Hotel Sango Hall
??? Fans – Unannounced

2. Kazuki Hirata “Second Match Triumphant Return” Series Vol. 2: Jun Akiyama & Naomi Yoshimura defeated Kazuki Hirata & Soma Takao when Yoshimura pinned Hirata with a Short-Range Lariat (10:39).
3. Daisuke Sasaki, Hideki Okatani & MJ Paul defeated Kazusada Higuchi, Akito & Rukiya when Sasaki submitted Rukiya with the Crossface Lock (10:33).
4. Special Tag Match: Yuki Iino & Yukio Naya defeated Yuki Ishida & Daichi Sato when Naya pinned Ishida with a Choke Slam (11:34).
5. Special 6-Man Tag Match: Chris Brookes, Antonio Honda & Takeshi Masada defeated MAO, KANON & Kazuma Sumi (w/ KIMIHIRO) when Honda pinned Sumi with a Japanese Leg Roll Clutch (15:55).
6. Special Tag Match: Yuki Ueno & To-y defeated HARASHIMA & Yuya Koroku when Ueno pinned Koroku with the Jul.2 (19:49).
Things went better for The 37KAMIINA today without Minoru Suzuki around to make their lives miserable. Yuki Ueno & To-y defeated HARASHIMA & Yuya Koroku in a preview of the KO-D 6-Man Tag Team Titles match. Koroku in particular became a target for Ueno & To-y both during and after the match. They said Koroku won’t be able to beat The 37KAMIINA if he’s just going to hide behind Suzuki. HARASHIMA however thinks his teamwork with Koroku today was impressive even though they lost. Koroku thinks it would be best if he targets the least experienced wrestler in the title match. He warns Kaisei Takechi that he is coming to take his title belt!
With Yuki Ishida fit and healthy to wrestle again, The Apex and Harimao were able to sign the contract for next week’s KO-D Tag Team Titles match. The challengers spoke first with Kazusada Higuchi reminding The Apex he wants to feel their weight as champions and give it their all. Ishida said there is a frustration building up inside him because Harimao is this unit of strong wrestlers but he has been holding them back. He is going to take those frustrations out on Yukio Naya in particular so Harimao can win the titles and move on up. Naya said he is determined to crush Ishida while Yuki Iino has been training his neck and head every day to combat against Higuchi’s Claw moves. He also disputed Higuchi’s opinion because he is well aware of how important the KO-D Tag Titles are, given that he had already held it once previously. Later on in the show The Apex crushed Ishida in a tag match, prompting Higuchi to give his prone partner a pep talk in the ring.
The hotel created a birthday cake for Jun Akiyama and Takeshi Masada to share with each other since their birthdays both recently happened this month.

DDT “RINGU NO AKIBASHO 2025”, 08/10/2025
Shinjuku FACE
??? Fans – Unannounced
1. Special Single Match: MJ Paul defeated Antonio Honda by submission when Honda was unable to withstand Paul’s weight (7:15).
2. Kazuki Hirata “Second Match Triumphant Return” Series Vol. 1: Akito, Soma Takao, Tomomitsu Matsunaga & Kazuma Sumi defeated Kazuki Hirata when Sumi pinned Hirata with the School Boy (9:38).
3. Jun Akiyama defeated Hinata Kasai with a Crab Hold (8:52).
4. Chris Brookes, Shinya Aoki & Takeshi Masada defeated Daisuke Sasaki, Hideki Okatani & Ilusion when Masada pinned Ilusion with the Masada No Chikara KOBU Mukimuki (13:17).
5. MAO & KANON (w/ KIMIHIRO) defeated Yuya Koroku & Daichi Sato when MAO submitted Sato with the Rock Killer (14:14).

First blood goes to Minoru Suzuki. We’ve a long way to go until “ULTIMATE PARTY 2025” and there’s another title match to get to even before that but today Suzuki beat The 37KAMIINA with HARASHIMA on his side. Both Yuki Ueno & To-y got their own moments of fighting Suzuki one on one but HARASHIMA was the X Factor making a difference. When both Ueno & To-y climbed the top rope on opposite corners, HARASHIMA blocked Ueno’s Frog Splash with his knees and then jumped up to To-y to hit him with a Knee Strike followed by a Superplex. Suzuki tagged in as the closer and Ueno’s attempts to stop him were taken away by HARASHIMA. To-y made one last desperate stand against Suzuki and all he got out of it was getting pinned with the Gotch-Style Piledriver. After the match Suzuki said Ueno will bow down before him in both of their upcoming title matches. Ueno responded that he is already prepared to beat him at Sumo Hall. Suzuki was left annoyed by Ueno and To-y but he’s getting along with HARASHIMA because their goals are currently alligned. HARASHIMA thinks their teamwork is perfect and both of them want to win the KO-D 6-Man Tag Team Titles.
Yuki Ishida was too ill to wrestle today but the rest of Harimao were able to win their match despite his absence. Kazusada Higuchi scored the pinfall for his team and had a pull apart with both members of The Apex afterwards. Backstage Higuchi claimed Yuki Iino & Yukio Naya were acting too light to be KO-D Tag Team Champions. The championship has a long history and Higuchi has held it several times with many different wrestlers. He wants to add his team with Ishida to that list.
Bunbun learned a harsh lesson in sticking his nose where it might not belong. There’s still a grudge between SCHADENFREUDE International and DAMNATION T.A that makes their matches a dangerous place to be. Bunbun decided to get involved by aiding his stablemates and also jumping in to break a pinfall. However Hideki Okatani then got his hands on him and violently attacked Bunbun with his bamboo stick, including sticking it up where the sun doesn’t shine. Bunbun survived the attack and Shinya Aoki used the stick against DAMNATION T.A, allowing the SCHADENFREUDE to get the win.
A sick bug of some sort is going through the DDT roster. Danshoku Dieno is the latest wrestler to genuinely fall ill before a show which meant his singles match with Hinata Kasai was cancelled. Kasai didn’t find out who is new opponent was until the start of the show when it was announced to be Jun Akiyama! The rookie had his attacks shrugged off and he was then put away with a Piledriver followed by a Crab Hold that made him tap out. Kasai said the result clearly shows how inexperienced he is but on the bright side that means there is room for improvement. Akiyama said this match was fate because he only just met with Jun Kasai at a New Japan show the day before (that’s a sentence I thought I would never write). Akiyama was told by Jun to help take care of Hinata and then later Akiyama found out DDT was putting this match together on short notice.
The bug also caused Kazuki Hirata’s triumphant return to the second match of the card to be changed. He now had to fight everyone else by himself when the other wrestlers all decided to team up against him! He tried to find fans in the audience to help him even up the numbers until he was dragged back into the ring to continue the match. Gradually he found ways to get some of his opponents to join his side. He convinced Soma Takao to join him after threatening to cancel all of his appearances at the Drop Kick Bar. He won over Akito by promising to work for the next three months without pay. He tried to bribe Tomomitsu Matsunaga with 1,000 yen but Matsunaga refused. Hirata then offered 3,000 yen and this time Matsunaga accepted, leaving Kazuma Sumi on his own to fight everyone else! Hirata and his new allies all wore Hirata GO! glasses to power up but missed their final attack, colliding with each other. Sumi then picked them off one by one until he pinned Hirata with the School Boy.
Sumi also had a mini NωA Jr. performance with Shunma Katsumata at the start of the show. Yuni is still absent so he can focus on his education.
At the end of the show another wrestler threw their name into the DDT Extreme Title match happening at “ULTIMATE PARTY 2025”. So far all of To-y’s opponents made their challenge on social media but Antonio Honda got on the microphone after the show and spoke a haiku about wanting to be in the match. He claims the haiku is a type of social media you can use face-to-face with other people. To-y accepted his challenge which means his title defence is now going to be a 5 Way Match.

Tokyo Asakusa Broadway Shopping Arcade
??? Fans – Unannounced
1. Falls Count Anywhere 3 Way Tag Match: Yuki Ueno & To-y defeated Kazusada Higuchi & Yuki Ishida and Kazuma Sumi & Rukiya when To-y pinned Sumi and Rukiya with T.O.Y Totonou Splash ~A Bridge Betwwen Naraha Town And Asakusa~ (34:43).
DDT returned to Naraha Town as part of To-y’s quest to promote the area as an unofficial ambassador as well as to pay off his never ending financial debt towards the local mascot Yuzutaro. Naraha’s deputy mayor also attended the outdoor Falls Count Anywhere Match that saw Kazusada Higuchi wrestle bare foot on the path, Yuki Ueno threaten to throw opponents into nearby shop displays and Yuki Ishida getting powered up by wrestling in front of the entrance of a sumo club. Harimao brought along extra weapons and stacked them up in a castle. Higuchi then crashed the Dramatic Dream bike into it with Ishida pushing behind it. The 37KAMIINA ended up getting the win when To-y climbed a ladder and did a Totonou Splash just like how Shunma Katsumata does it onto Kazuma Sumi & Rukiya, putting both of them through a table in the process. After the match To-y promoted a special bus tour of the area that will be held at the end of next January.

Double the titles, double the fun and double the reasons to do prelim tag matches! The last match listed here is previews for both the KO-D Openweight Title match and the KO-D 6-Man Tag Team Titles match too.
All of Harimao are getting together for an 8-Man Tag Match. Their opponents are filling up a similar size dynamic with The Apex and Jun Akiyama being there as the heavyweights alongside little Rukiya as… not the heavyweight.
The match order for the show has not been decided yet for everything except Match #2. Now that Kazuki Hirata is no longer the KO-D Champion, DDT is sending him right back home to the second match of the card. They’re making a series out of it so he won’t feel bad.

The Spirit Of Ganbare World Tag Team Titles are now held by a BASARA team. The two top brass from the rival promotion will be coming back to defend the belts in Ganbare☆Pro and there is already a pair of wrestlers wanting to fight them. Keisuke Ishii made the challenge and wanted one of the other GanPro veterans to team with him but instead Shota Kawakami was able to convince him that they should challenge together instead.
In a good move for speeding up Rukiya’s progression, he is heading over to GanPro for a match with Mizuki Watase. It’s the kind of match that will teach him how to wrestle while wearing his heart in his sleeve.

*V1 for Yuki Ueno. Kazuma Sumi cashes in his Right To Challenge Anytime, Anywhere Arm Cover.
From this point on no matter what happens with DDT, we will always have the September of Kazuki Hirata. He had it all going for him today. He was headlining a packed Korakuen Hall show in a KO-D Openweight Title defence against his most unique rival Yoshihiko. The battle doll used multiple German Suplexes to throw the champion around and also strategically targeted his arm with submissions. But Hirata held on and started using Power Bombs to beat Yoshihiko to a pulp, putting an end to the match with a Somersault Power Bomb from the top rope as some over the top tribute to the Kobe World Liner spot. Things could not have been going better for our good pal Hirata. Yoshihiko even applauded his victory and brought a gift to congratulate Hirata on his victory.
Hirata was handed over a cardboard box and inside it was a special bag made out of Haribo packaging. Hirata grabbed a bag inside a pulled it out, slowly revealing the Blue Right To Challenge Arm Cover was attached to it. As Hirata started to realize what was happening, behind him the black shadow that normally accompanies Yoshihiko placed the doll out of the ring and unmasked himself to reveal it was Yuki Ueno and this was him cashing in his title shot! Ueno grabbed Hirata in a Sleeper Hold and then confirmed he was getting his title match right now. Hirata did his best to survive and was able to kick out of Ueno’s moves. He also pulled out the Miracle One Shot Cradle but this time Ueno kicked out of it. Hirata tried using the move again and again but each repeated use became less effective until he reached the point of exhaustion. Ueno held up Hirata in something of a hug before using the WR to pin him and win back the KO-D Title.
And yet it didn’t end there. While Ueno and Hirata were patching things over, Kazuma Sumi suddenly ran down to the ring and launched a Missile Dropkick towards Ueno. He was armed with the last remaining Right To Challenge sleeve and was cashing it in so everyone in attendance was getting a second bonus KO-D Title match! Sumi came close to winning with a Canadian Destroyer followed by the School Boy. He also used an Imploding 450 Splash but Ueno kicked out of that too. Ueno halted Sumi’s drive with Dropkicks to the face along with the Himawari Bomb. It took the WR for him to put Sumi away and already score his first title defence right after he just won the belt. Ueno said this match made him feel just as happy as any of the other opponents he has defended the KO-D Title against in the past. Sumi explained it’s been three years since he debuted and he always wants to immediately take any opportunity that presents itself. So today his body felt like it moved on its own and he poured everything he had into this chance to become the champion.
So that’s it for this year’s Right To Challenge series. All four arm sleeves have been used and in the end Ueno is the last man standing with the KO-D Title. However a new challenger did make himself known. Minoru Suzuki entered the ring carrying the DDT Universal Title. He doesn’t have any automatic title shots but he still wants to take the KO-D Title for himself! Ueno told him this must be a coincidence going on because he also wants to take back the Universal Title from Suzuki! The two talked about having a match straight away until Hisaya Imabayashi interrupted them. The GM told them the show was running out of time but if they really want to do this match then it should be a double title bout at Sumo Hall on 3rd November! Suzuki gave a warning that he is close to completely dominating DDT. Ueno spoke about his mistake of inviting Suzuki to DDT in the first place and ever since then one of his goals has been to avenge that loss. He’ll make sure Suzuki won’t dominate DDT and will be driven out empty handed.
Suzuki’s path of domination through DDT happened in the semi-main event (which at this point was now three matches ago) when he put Takeshi Masada through misery. Suzuki brushed off the challenger’s early attacks and knocked him dizzy with a steel post attack outside the ring. He also attacked Masada with chairs and even a wrench before Masada made a comeback which included using moves from the other members of SCHADENFREUDE International. However Suzuki grabbed him in a Sleeper Hold to drain the energy out of his opponent until Masada gave up. Suzuki added insult to injury after the match by telling Masada he better put his life on the line if he’s ever going to pick a fight with him. A beaten Masada tried to get back at Suzuki but got another Elbow Strike for his troubles before being taken away. Suzuki explained backstage that he cannot be beaten with just brute force alone. You need to put your soul on the line from the moment you step into the ring, just like he does. Meanwhile Masada said he isn’t giving up and will definitely have another go at Suzuki.
The rise of “The Rampage” continues although he picked up some more noticeable bumps and bruises along the way. Today Kaisei Takechi has won his first pro wrestling championship! He teamed with Ueno & To-y from The 37KAMIINA to fight DAMNATION T.A over the vacant KO-D 6-Man Tag Team Titles. The belts were vacated by DAMNATION T.A when Daisuke Sasaki got injured but Sasaki was at ringside for the match looking over his team. Hideki Okatani is really trying to establish himself as Takechi’s main enemy by attacking him with the bamboo stick while Sasaki hit Takechi’s leg with a chair next to the corner post. Sasaki also saw fit to attack Takechi in the ring with a chair but things went wrong for the heels when Ilusion missed the Swanton Bomb and was then hit with Okatani’s bamboo stick by accident. Takechi took control while his partners held Okatani & MJ Paul back. Then with one Swan Dive Forearm strike, Takechi pinned Ilusion to become a champion! He called the match the toughest fight he ever had and he’ll bring his title belt back to the LDH HQ so his boss can touch it. His next match in DDT will be at Korakuen on 19th October and DDT are hinting it will be the champion team’s first title defence. Ueno also mentioned to To-y & Takechi that there’s a fun idea he wants to do with them and the titles but he’ll talk to them later about it.
Evil Uno’s DDT debut came and went before he could even get into the ring. As he was making his entrance, his tag partner Danshoku Dieno decided to attack HARASHIMA straight away only to get rolled up in a Jackknife and get pinned. Imabayashi was furious because it’s bad enough when Hirata matches end like this but now it’s spreading to the rest of the locker room! This was an AEW star making his first appearance in DDT so he isn’t going to let anyone ruin it! Imabayashi apologized to Uno and allowed him to complete his entrance before the rematch began. HARASHIMA almost pinned Dieno again but Uno was there to break it up this time. Dieno was later put in the Hell Gate position with his rear end exposed but when Uno was thrown face first into it, his mask protected him from the exposure. So Jun Akiyama grabbed him by the mask, pulled it up past Uno’s mouth and shoved him back into Dieno’s hell gate. This time Uno was in danger and he fled the ring while HARASHIMA pinned Dieno with the Somato. Uno was in disbelief backstage. He came to DDT wanting to fight HARASHIMA & Akiyama but all he got out of it was the taste of rotten cheese stuck in his mouth!
A visiting Diego joined SCHADENFREUDE International’s side for today so there could be three of them to take on Harimao in a 6-Man Tag Match. It was also a warm up for Kazusada Higuchi & Yuki Ishida to get ready for their KO-D Tag Team Titles shot on 19th October. Antonio Honda used Gongitsune to stun the Harimao team and then got his own partners to join in the Bionic Elbow. But all of Harimao dodged the move and made the other team flinch with hand claps. Higuchi & Naomi Yoshimura hit Honda with a Cross Bomber but Ishida failed to follow up by missing the Dosukoi Splash. Chris Brookes & Diego dealt damage to Ishida and left things up to Honda. But Ishida blocked Honda’s Diving Fist Drop and eventually pinned him with the Flame Palm. Ishida said he isn’t going to let this momentum stop. He is definitely going to win the tag titles with Higuchi!
The Survival 3 Way Match ended up playing a part in how the show ended the way it did. The rules allowed one wrestler from each team to be in the ring at all times and there were No Tag rules applied too for partners to swap in and out. The Apex were the first team eliminated despite being the KO-D Tag Champions. Strange Love Connection took out Yuki Iino with the Lariat-McEnroe combination but Yukio Naya gave KANON the Choke Slam. Sumi rolled up Naya with a School Boy only for KANON to push him away. MAO then pounced in and got Naya in his own roll up to get the three count! Since Naya was a Right To Challenge holder at the time that meant MAO had now won it off him. But the match was still continuing with SLC having to fight Akito & Sumi. MAO tried to vault over the referee to give Sumi a Cutter but Sumi instead turned it into a School Boy slam to pin him out of nowhere and win the Arm Cover!
The decision to have Yuya Koroku face Shinya Aoki one on one made more sense when it was announced the two of them would be teaming up at “ULTIMATE PARTY 2025” to take on a NOAH team led by Tetsuya Endo. This single match was Koroku and Aoki going tit for tat against each other with the two impressing each other along the way. Koroku countered the European Clutch into a German Suplex and then went for the Triangle Lancer. But Aoki used his grappling knowledge to cradle his way out of the hold and pin Koroku for the victory.
In the dark match Rukiya took his first step of progress since coming back from injury by picking up the win for his team. Soma Takao wanted to teach Hinata Kasai how to get the crowd excited for the first match of the show but got more than he bargained for when Daichi Sato stepped in to face him. Rukiya was able to beat Kasai for the win but it took him using the Proto Bomb twice to get the pinfall after Kasai kicked out of it the first time.

She used to wrestle a lot in IWA Mid South too. “Big Al” as she is nicknamed also competed in the infamous Power Slap contest earlier this year. As part of her title shot, Crowley will also be wrestling on the 12th and 19th October Tokyo Joshi Pro shows.

Let’s see if some Dosukoi spirit can take a tag team up past The Apex. The Harimao pair of Kazusada Higuchi & Yuki Ishida have stepped up to become the next challengers for the KO-D Tag Team Titles. For Higuchi it is a chance to win another championship so soon after losing the KO-D Openweight Title. Meanwhile Ishida has been picking up momentum, mostly from beating other wrestlers from the D GENERATION. Knocking down either Yuki Iino & Yukio Naya with the Flame Palm on route to a championship win will be a massive accomplishment for the little sumo.

5. Dramatic Dream Match: Zack Sabre Jr. Vs Chris Brookes
The N1 Victory is now over and done with so the next big event on Tetsuya Endo’s calendar is his one night return to DDT. He’s bringing some NOAH friends with him because HAYATA & Junta Miyawaki are coming along too. I think this will actually be Miyawaki’s first time teaming with Endo. They were opponents for all of the previous times in NOAH I could find. The opposition has a lot of BURNING in it because both Jun Akiyama & Yuya Koroku are there. Shinya Aoki fills up the remaining space.

Osaka Namba SkyO Convention Hall
??? Fans – Unannounced
1. Hideki Okatani defeated Hinata Kasai with the Skewered Claymore (7:37).

4. Soma Takao & Kazuma Sumi defeated Kazuki Hirata & Antonio Honda when Sumi pinned Hirata with the School Boy (8:25).
5. Special Single Match: Takeshi Masada defeated Akito with the Masada No Chikara KOBU Mukimuki (10:04).
6. Jun Akiyama 33rd Anniversary Commemoration Match ~ Special 6-Man Tag Match: Jun Akiyama, HARASHIMA & Yuki Ueno defeated Kazusada Higuchi, Tomomitsu Matsunaga & Daichi Sato when Ueno pinned Matsunaga with the Frog Splash (12:35).
7. KO-D Tag Team Titles: Yuki Iino & Yukio Naya (c) defeated To-y & Yuya Koroku when Iino pinned Koroku with the Spear (20:26).
*V4 for The Apex.
The challengers showed a little power of their own to put The Apex on the ropes in the main event. To-y was able to slam Yuki Iino with the Kojima Wonderland and Yuya Koroku followed up with the Moonsault Press. Koroku then tried putting Iino in the Chickenwing Arm Lock while To-y did a dive onto Yukio Naya outside the ring. However Iino got out of the submission hold, hit Koroku with a Lariat and then pinned him with the Spear. After the match Iino praised Koroku for giving a nice “BURNING” performance but Koroku wouldn’t shake his hand. Naya said The Apex would take on any challengers which caused Kazusada Higuchi & Yuki Ishida from Harimao to walk out to the ring. They challenged The Apex for the KO-D Tag Team Titles and the match will go ahead on 19th October.
Match #6 was to celebrate the anniversary of Jun Akiyama’s debut match but the spoils went to Yuki Ueno instead. Akiyama gave Tomomitsu Matsunaga the Exploder Suplex and was then blocked from doing the Wrist-Clutch version by Kazusada Higuchi. Ueno then blind tagged himself in and did a Frog Splash on Matsunaga for the three count. He called the match a fitting celebration of Akiyama’s 33rd Anniversary. Akiyama was a little bothered by Ueno stealing his moment but he took it as a lesson that every day is still a competition against everyone.
In something of an upset, Kazuma Sumi pinned the KO-D Openweight Champion! I mean he pinned Kazuki Hirata but still, pinning the KO-D champion is a big deal no matter who it is. After the match Sumi called for a KO-D Title shot but Hirata turned him down, explaining he already has a scheduled defence against Yoshihiko and there are still two Right To Challenge Arm Covers to be cashed in against him. Sumi however called out Hirata for wanting to defend the title against Hisaya Imabayashi next after Yoshihiko. Hirata eventually agreed to give Sumi a title match after he beats Yoshihiko. He then offered Sumi a bag of Alfort chocolate but when he opened them there were packs of Haribo sweets inside it instead, confusing everyone.
Everybody in KANON’s birthday match ended up having the back of their pants pulled down to expose their rear ends. The match ended up literally going dark with a single spotlight shining in the middle of the ring where KANON put Danshoku Dieno into the Cobra Twist for the victory.

5. Yuki Ueno’s Birthday Celebration Match ~ Special 6-Man Tag Match: MAO, KANON & Yoshihiko (w/ KIMIHIRO) defeated Yuki Ueno, To-y & Kazuma Sumi when Yoshihiko pinned Sumi with the Reincarnation (15:50).
6. Special 6-Man Tag Match: Kazusada Higuchi, Ryota Nakatsu & Yuki Ishida defeated Satoshi Kojima, Antonio Honda & Yuya Koroku when Ishida pinned Honda with the Flame Palm (16:47).
Last November was when Satoshi Kojima wrestled in DDT and he came back today in order to team up with Yuya Koroku. The two of them both trained in the Animal Hamiguchi Gym. The main event also had Ryota Nakatsu paying DDT a visit so he can team with Harimao again. Kojima’s team wasn’t able to win but after the match Koroku told a story backstage about him getting an autograph from Kojima eight years ago. At the time he told Kojima he wanted to be a pro wrestler and it would be great if they were in the ring together some day. Kojima said he loves the atmosphere of DDT shows that you can’t find in other companies.
At some point before the show took place, Ilusion kidnapped Bunbun from Takeshi Masada and hung him upside down above the ring! So obviously the match between SCHADENFREUDE International and DAMNATION T.A was turned into a Ladder match to see who could get Bunbun down first! Masada made up for letting Bunbun get captured in the first place by being the one to pull him down after he Power Bombed Ilusion from the ladder.
It should be a brand new day for DDT with a brand new champion at the helm but it turns out winning the KO-D Openweight Title has not made Kazuki Hirata stronger even one tiny bit. He held a press conference in the ring before the show began where he talked about all of the wrestlers who sent him congratulatory messages for the title victory. Konosuke Takeshita sent him a 5,000 yen gift card while Hiromu Takahashi asked if he could get a title shot sometime. Hirata passed on that idea but he was informed that his first scheduled title defence will take place at Korakuen Hall on 28th September. Hirata asked for his opponent to be either the GM Hisaya Imabayashi or the referee Daisuke Kiso but he was denied. Instead Imabayashi told him he has until 12th September to pick his opponent. Hirata said he wants to get a challenger who is as weak as possible.
We then saw how Hirata has made no progress in the second match when he was immediately pinned by HARASHIMA. The match restarted only for HARASHIMA to quickly pin Hirata again. Another restart led to a proper match going ahead but HARASHIMA still got to beat Hirata a third time. It made HARASHIMA ask for a title shot but Hirata turned him down, explaining that it wouldn’t be worth it for HARASHIMA to win the title from a very weak champion. His fans would only approve if HARASHIMA beat an incredibly strong opponent to become the champion again. HARASHIMA understood and let Hirata off the hook.
Then later in the show Yuki Iino won the red Right To Challenge Arm Cover from Soma Takao. Given his successful history using this prize in the past, Iino wanted to cash it in for a KO-D Title shot straight away. Hirata tried to bribe him with candy to change his mind but it didn’t convince him. However Iino then received a message on his phone telling him that his private gym received a reservation on short notice from a “Mr. Hirata”. Iino no longer had enough time to wrestle another match so he raced off to the gym, leaving Hirata to survive the day as still the champion.
