DGC Final Up For Grabs, Sasadango’s Sumo Hall Check Up, Pokotan Gets Some Sauna Friends

February 6, 2026

DDT “IMAIKE SAMBA 2026”, 07/02/2026
Aichi Imaike Gas Hall

1. Takeshi Masada & Hinata Kasai Vs Yuya Koroku & Yuni
2. Special Single Match: KANON (w/ KIMIHIRO) Vs Antonio Honda
3. Daisuke Sasaki, Hideki Okatani & MJ Paul Vs Jun Akiyama, Akito & Junta Miyawaki
4. Imaike Rumble 2026: Yuki Ueno Vs MAO Vs HARASHIMA Vs Danshoku Dieno Vs Chris Brookes Vs Kazuki Hirata Vs Naomi Yoshimura Vs Yukio Naya Vs Ilusion Vs Pokotan
5. D GENERATIONS CUP 2026 – A Block: To-y (3) Vs Daichi Sato (4)
6. D GENERATIONS CUP 2026 – A Block: Yuki Ishida (3) Vs Kazuma Sumi (4)

The last matchdays for the D GENERATIONS CUP have several wrestlers still in the running to reach the final. In the A Block Kazuma Sumi just needs to win his match to win the group. Daichi Sato can get there if he wins and Sumi doesn’t. To-y and Yuki Ishida both need to win and even then that will result in a sudden death playoff between the two because they tied against each other earlier in the tournament.

DDT “IMAIKE FIGHT FEVER 2026”, 08/02/2026
Aichi Imaike Gas Hall

1. D GENERATIONS CUP 2026 – B Block: Rukiya (4) Vs Hinata Kasai (0)
2. HARASHIMA & Yuni Vs Hideki Okatani & Ilusion
3. Danshoku Dieno & Kazuma Sumi Vs Akito & Kazuki Hirata
4. Jun Akiyama, Naomi Yoshimura & Yuki Ishida Vs Yukio Naya, Junta Miyawaki & Daichi Sato
5. Special 4-Way Tag Match: Yuki Ueno & To-y Vs MAO & KANON (w/ KIMIHIRO) Vs Daisuke Sasaki & MJ Paul Vs Chris Brookes & Antonio Honda
6. D GENERATIONS CUP 2026 – B Block: Takeshi Masada (4) Vs Yuya Koroku (6)

In the B Block we may see Yuya Koroku finish his run with a perfect record of four wins. But if Takeshi Masada can beat him then he will squeak by last year’s champion. However Rukiya can match the total score in that scenario if he beats Hinata Kasai which will then result in a three way tie where Koroku beat Rukiya, Rukiya beat Masada and Masada beat Koroku.

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “SHOKO NAKAJIMA NIIGATA HOMECOMING – SHOKO QUEST IV: THOSE GUIDED BY THE SNOW COUNTRY”, 11/02/2026
Niigata Dúo CEREZO

1. 3 Way Match: Miyu Yamashita Vs Raku Vs Mahiro Kiryu

5. Miu Watanabe & Rika Tatsumi Vs Sara Phoenix & Kira Summer
6. Yuki Kamifuku, Wakana Uehara & Ren Konatsu V Mizuki, Shino Suzuki & Uta Takami
7. Shoko Nakajima, Yuki Aino & Haru Kazashiro Vs Yuki Arai, HIMAWARI & Toga

The “GRAND PRINCESS ’26” PR Ambassador Super Sasadango Machine will be visiting the show, presumably to get updates on all of the ideas he gave others to promote the Sumo Hall show. There are currently four requests he has given people. Shino Suzuki is tasked with challenging influencers with over 100,000 followers to games of rock paper scissors until she beats three of them. The GM Tetsuya Koda was told to go find a big guest famous enough to sell out Sumo Hall and get them to make their pro wrestling debut. The mascot Minimo-chan was told to master its special moves through intensive training. Finally Sanshiro Takagi was instructed to scout a new idol to turn into a pro wrestler.

DDT “NEPPA OVER FLOWERS 5 ~THE ONLY SAUNA IN THE WORLD~”, 14/02/2026

5. Ueno Nordic Presents Special Single Match: Yuki Ueno Vs Pokotan (w/ Chris Bathooks, Naya Tonttu & Sauna Stones・Den)
6. Special Single Match: Minoru Suzuki Vs To-y

Pokotan will not be alone when it fights Yuki Ueno. It will be accompanied by three sauna themed versions of DDT wrestlers. Naya Tonttu has appeared on these sauna wrestling shows before. Chris Bathooks and Sauna Stones・Den both have pun names that apply to saunas somehow but I don’t have the knowledge with that hobby to figure out what they are.

GANBARE☆PRO “A SCANNER DARKLY 2026”, 22/02/2026
Tokyo Takashimadaira Kumin Center

1. Sentaro Motoshima Vs Reiya Igarashi

5. Shuichiro Katsumura, Yuya Susumu & YuuRI Vs Yuna Manase, Akira Shoji & Tyson Maeguchi
6. Spirit Of Ganbare World Openweight Title: Masaaki Mochizuki (c) Vs Mizuki Watase

How is it that Moeka Haruhi keeps getting put with oddball opponents? She now has to face Papillon Akemi and a Colega Pro/Land’s End gimmick called Hora-chan in a 3 Way Match.

“GAISEN SAKURA PRO WRESTLING”, 11/04/2026

Round 2 of the Max Heart Tournament has Daisy Monkey against K!SS// in one match, Shunrai Rekka!! Prism Greed versus Mizuki & Uta Takami in another, Daydream taking on Pompaler and Ober Eats having to face Kyoto Tag.

Something to look on the bright side over Shoko Nakajima being knocked out of the tournament so early is she now gets to give Sara Phoenix a first time ever singles match on the undercard.

Super Sasadango Machine will be at the show as part of his PR Ambassador role for “GRAND PRINCESS ’26”. He will give everyone a greetings message in the ring.

GANBARE☆PRO “NEW YEAR’S BLUES 2026”, 31/01/2026
Shin-Kiba 1st RING

1. Yumehito Imanari & Keisuke Ishii Vs Shuichiro Katsumura & Yuya Susumu
2. Spirit Of Ganbare World Openweight Title: Masaaki Mochizuki (c) Vs Shinichiro Tominaga

The upcoming snap elections happening in Japan’s House Of Representatives has caused an unintended side effect for Ganbare☆Pro’s next event. They are supposed to have a show in Takashimadaira Kumin Center on 31st January but the building will no longer be available on that date in order to be turned into a polling station for early voters. GanPro were able to act quickly and book Shin-Kiba 1st RING as the replacement venue for the same date and start time. They felt the need to go ahead with the show because they’ve already sold tickets and would find it difficult to reschedule the guest wrestlers they have booked for it.

DDT “NEXT STEP GAME 2026”, 04/02/2026
Shinjuku FACE

1. Jun Akiyama & Danshoku Dieno Vs Toru Owashi & Kazuki Hirata

3. Special 6-Man Tag Match: Yuki Ueni, Shinya Aoki & Yukio Naya Vs MAO, KANON & Rukiya
4. D GENERATIONS CUP 2026 – B Block: Yuya Koroku (4) Vs Hinata Kasai (0)
5. D GENERATIONS CUP 2026 – B Block: Takeshi Masada (2) Vs Yuni (2)
6. D GENERATIONS CUP 2026 – A Block: Daichi Sato (4) Vs Kazuma Sumi (2)
7. D GENERATIONS CUP 2026 – A Block: To-y (3) Vs Ilusion (0)

There’s a two week pause in the D GENERATIONS CUP now that we’re at around the halfway point. Daichi Sato currently leads the A Block by himself while Yuya Koroku and Rukiya are both tied for first in the B Block. To-y, Yuki Ishida, Kazuma Sumi, Yuni and Takeshi Masada all still have fighting chances of making the final while Ilusion and Hinata Kasai are both out of the running.

Kazusada Higuchi has to take another leave of absence for now, this time because of a neck injury. There is no timeline yet for how long he will be out of action for.

6. D GENERATIONS CUP 2026 – A Block: To-y (3) Vs Daichi Sato (4)

If you’re not sick of Royal Rumble matches by the end of the month, DDT is doing a small one of their own a couple of days later.

5. D GENERATIONS CUP 2026 – B Block: Rukiya (4) Vs Hinata Kasai (0)
6. D GENERATIONS CUP 2026 – B Block: Takeshi Masada (2) Vs Yuya Koroku (4)

The lineups for shows happening next month are a bit all over the place because who knows who the KO-D Openweight Champion and DDT Universal Champion will be coming out of Korakuen Hall this weekend.

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “GRAND PRINCESS ’26”, 29/03/2026
Tokyo Ryogoku Kokugikan

1. Special Tag Match: Yuka Sakazaki & KONOSUKE TAKESHITA Vs X & X

DDT “YEAR END☆DRAMATIC PARADE 2025” Results

December 31, 2025

DDT “YEAR END☆DRAMATIC PARADE 2025”, 28/12/2025
Aichi Nagoya Imaike Gas Hall
??? Fans – Unannounced

1. Yuni defeated Hinata Kasai with the Firebird Splash (6:45).
2. Yuki Iino & Yukio Naya defeated Kazuki Hirata & Akito when Naya pinned Hirata with an Elbow Drop (8:03).
3. Chris Brookes, Antonio Honda & Takeshi Masada defeated Jun Akiyama, Kazusada Higuchi & Naomi Yoshimura when Honda pinned Yoshimura with a Forward Rolling Cradle (12:59).
4. Special Single Match: HARASHIMA defeated Soma Takao with the Somato (8:47).
5. Special Tag Match: MAO & KANON (w/ KIMIHIRO) defeated Yuki Ueno & Danshoku Dieno when KANON pinned Dieno with a Lariat (13:25).
6. KO-D 10-Man Tag Team Titles: Daisuke Sasaki, Hideki Okatani, MJ Paul, Demus & Ilusion defeated To-y, Yuya Koroku, Daichi Sato, Yuki Ishida & Kazuma Sumi (c) when Ilusion pinned Sumi with the Swanton Bomb (16:51).
*D GENERATIONS fail in V2. DAMNATION T.A becomes the 11th KO-D 10-Man Tag Team Champions!

The D GENERATIONS CUP is just around the corner and Ilusion has snatched momentum from a bunch of his rivals thanks to DAMNATION T.A winning the KO-D 10-Man Tag Team Titles! The defending champs going into the match were all part of the D GENERATIONS (with Daichi Sato substituting for Keigo Nakamura who is still on excursion in Mexico) but their unity was no match for DAMNATION T.A’s dirty fighting. Daisuke Sasaki blindsided Kazuma Sumi with a chairshot to the back, allowing Ilusion to finish Sumi off with the Swanton Bomb. Ilusion gathered together all five belts for himself while proclaiming Sasaki will win both the KO-D Openweight Title and DDT Universal Title next year. Then Ilusion will win the D GENERATIONS CUP and challenge Sasaki for the Universal Title! He took that comment back when Sasaki glared at him and instead said that 2025 ends with DAMNATION T.A closing out the final DDT show of the year.

The sudden creation of a Yuki Ueno & Danshoku Dieno tag team had the pair coming up with big plans. They already want to challenge Strange Love Connection for the KO-D Tag Team Titles and then go global from there. But when they lost to SLC in a non-title match, Ueno & Dieno quickly decided to disband their team. Although they don’t rule out the idea of reuniting the team next year.

Soma Takao’s match with HARASHIMA today is his last for the time being. He is taking time off to deal with a knee injury and has no timeline for how long it will take for him to return. He admits to being worried over it but is confident he will return next year and get to wrestle in DDT again. HARASHIMA promised that Takao’s knee will heal properly because he’ll be training!

DDT “WHAT’S WRONG WITH ENDING THE YEAR IN NAGOYA! A SPECTACULAR END TO 2025” Results

December 31, 2025

DDT “WHAT’S WRONG WITH ENDING THE YEAR IN NAGOYA! A SPECTACULAR END TO 2025”, 27/12/2025
Aichi Nagoya Imaike Gas Hall
??? Fans – Unannounced

1. Yuki Iino defeated Hinata Kasai with a Lariat (7:42).
2. Danshoku Dieno & Yuni defeated Kazuki Hirata & Soma Takao when Yuni pinned Hirata with the Firebird Splash (10:13).
3. Harimao Vs DAMNATION T.A!: Kazusada Higuchi, Naomi Yoshimura & Yuki Ishida defeated Hideki Okatani, MJ Paul & Ilusion when Ishida pinned Ilusion with the Flame Palm (10:41).
4. Jun Akiyama, HARASHIMA & Akito defeated Yukio Naya, Yuya Koroku & Daichi Sato when Akito submitted Koroku with the Goliath Birdeater (11:35).
5. STRANGE LOVE CONNECTION Vs DAMNATION T.A!: MAO & KANON (w/ KIMIHIRO) defeated Daisuke Sasaki & Demus when KANON pinned Demus with the GURU-GURU Driver (12:57).
6. Special 6-Man Tag Match: Chris Brookes, Antonio Honda & Takeshi Masada defeated Yuki Ueno, To-y & Kazuma Sumi when Masada pinned Sumi after the Praying Mantis Bomb from Brookes (19:38).

There are only a few matches left for Takeshi Masada in SCHADENFREUDE International before he leaves but today he showed he still has good teamwork with Chris Brookes & Antonio Honda. The rubber band spot was expanded into trapping The 37KAMIINA & Kazuma Sumi all together so they could have three separate bands all snapped into them at the same time. SCHADENFREUDE then used their teamwork to hit Sumi with Double Thrust Kicks before Brookes dropped him with the Praying Mantis Bomb for the victory. With two matches left in the unit, Masada spoke about how reluctant he is to leave but Honda told him they will always be connected somewhere.

Yuni was convinced by Danshoku Dieno to wear the Danshoku tights over his usual costume. Thankfully he didn’t go all the way into using Dieno’s moveset, instead relying on his own to win their tag match.

Last minute changes to the card are happening because Ren Konatsu is feeling unwell and won’t be able to wrestle on the show. Uta Takami has been taken out of the Princess Rumble to take Konatsu’s place as Suzume’s opponent in the opening match. Because of that the Rumble will now just have 19 entries instead of 20. The two mystery participants haven’t been announced in advance as far as I know.

It was announced that Ryuichi Sekine will be taking on a smaller schedule with BASARA next year. For 2026 he will only be wrestling on approximately one show a month with them. BASARA are trying to make the news sound more positive by saying when he does appear on their shows from now on he will provide even more effort and excitement to make up for his fewer appearances.

6. Special 6-Man Tag Match: Sanshiro Takagi, Jun Kasai & Ippanjin Munenori Sawa Vs Yuji Nagata, Kuroshio TOKYO Japan & Fuminori Abe

Is it a good idea to attend a show featuring The Brahman Brothers late in the card and then go straight to a joshi show afterwards? I might find that out for myself.

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

1. Shion Kanzaki Debut Match: Shion Kanzaki Vs X

8. Princess Tag Team Titles: Yuki Kamifuku & Wakana Uehara (c) Vs Yuki Aino & Haru Kazashiro
9. Princess Of Princess Title: Miu Watanabe (c) Vs Suzume

Only one of the two debuts planned for Ittenyon is now going ahead. The trainee Shion has taken on the name Shion Kanzaki for her first match. She is from Chiba and was born on 11th February, 2001. She is 156cm tall and was part of her high school’s kendo club. After she graduated from school she formed a band with friends where she was on guitar and vocals. The band split up though and she took on a regular office job until decided to take on pro wrestling because she’s been a fan of it since she was a child.

The other trainee Anri has been pulled from the same match after it was decided she isn’t in the right condition yet to go through with her debut. Both Uta Takami and Ren Konatsu were part of the match too so maybe it can still go ahead as a tag bout with a last minute fill in. Is Ryo Mizunami busy that day?

D GENERATIONS CUP 2026

December 22, 2025

The fourth annual D GENERATIONS CUP tournament will this time crown a No. 1 Contender for the DDT Universal Title. It will consist of two round robin blocks containing five wrestlers each. The two block winners will go on to face each other in the final. Each block match will have a 15 minute time limit. Wins are worth two points, draws are worth one point and no points are rewarded for Double Countouts or No Contests. Head-to-head results will be used as tiebreakers and if that does not work then a playoff will take place to determine the block winner on the same show as the final.

A Block

To-y (2024 Winner)
Daichi Sato
Yuki Ishida
Ilusion
Kazuma Sumi

B Block

Yuni Returns, A Preview For 3rd January, KO-D 10-Man Tag Team Titles Dusted Off

December 12, 2025

DDT “SENDAI NEW LEGEND 2025 ~SERI HOYA HYOTAN-AGE~”, 14/12/2025
Miyagi Yume Messe Miyagi

1. Ilusion Vs Hinata Kasai

3. Daisuke Sasaki, Hideki Okatani & Demus Vs Kazusada Higuchi, Chris Brookes & Daichi Sato

5. Special Tag Match: Yuki Ueno & Akito Vs Takeshi Masada & Yuki Ishida
6. Special Tag Match: MAO & KANON (w/ KIMIHIRO) Vs HARASHIMA & Kazuma Sumi

That was a nice week long break from DDT shows to recharge a few batteries. They’re back on Sunday to kick off the remaining shows for the year. Strange Love Connection get the main event spot here because they are in Miyagi which is MAO’s neck of the woods.

DDT “RING FINALE 2025 ~EVERYONE IS THE STAR OF THE CURTAIN CALL~”, 21/12/2025
Tokyo Korakuen Hall

0. Dark Match: Soma Takao, Yuni & Kazuma Sumi Vs Tomomitsu Matsunaga, Daichi Sato & Rukiya
1. Daisuke Sasaki, Hideki Okatani, Demus & Ilusion Vs Toru Owashi, Danshoku Dieno, Super Sasadango Machine & Kazuki Hirata
2. 3 Way 6-Man Tag Match: Shinya Aoki, Yuki Iino & Yukio Naya Vs Kazusada Higuchi, Naomi Yoshimura & Yuki Ishida Vs Chris Brookes, Antonio Honda & Hinata Kasai
3. Special Tag Match: Minoru Suzuki & Akito Vs Jun Akiyama & Yuya Koroku
4. Special Tag Match: Yuji Nagata & Sanshiro Takagi Vs HARASHIMA & Kaisei Takechi
5. DDT Extreme Title: To-y (c) Vs Yasu Urano
6. KO-D Tag Team Titles: MAO & KANON (c) (w/ KIMIHIRO) Vs Jun Masaoka & Gaia Hox
7. KO-D Openweight Title – AXSEED Presents: Yuki Ueno (c) Vs Takeshi Masada

The KO-D Openweight Title match is being sponsored by an electrical company named AXSEED. The company already utilizes Super Sasadango Machine as a spokesman for one of their security products so maybe this was set up back when he had a chance to become the champion. Maybe it can make sense for Takeshi Masada too.

After a four month hiatus to focus on his education, Yuni returns to DDT on 21st December. He passed his college entry exams and has been accepted into Sophia University in Tokyo. For Yuni’s return he has been added to the dark match just to help him get his feet wet again.

DDT “HOLY FIGHT NIGHT 2025”, 24/12/2025

Ueno & To-y have a preview tag match against two of their challengers MAO & Kazuma Sumi to warm them all up for the new year. KANON’s preparations are being done with a singles match against Yuya Koroku.

6. KO-D 10-Man Tag Team Titles: To-y, Yuya Koroku, Daichi Sato, Yuki Ishida & Kazuma Sumi (c) Vs Daisuke Sasaki, Hideki Okatani, MJ Paul, Demus & Ilusion

Bloody hell DDT found the KO-D 10-Man Tag Team Titles! They haven’t been defended in almost a year but four of the five current champions are still available. Keigo Nakamura is still on an overseas excursion so in following the rules of the championship, Daichi Sato will be subbing in for him so the titles can be defended again. All of DAMNATION T.A in its current form will be together to challenge the champions.

DDT “NEW YEAR☆DRAMATIC PARADE 2026 ~THE ANSWER WILL BE REVEALED ONE YEAR LATER~”, 03/01/2026
Tokyo Korakuen Hall

1. KO-D 6-Man Tag Team Titles: Yuki Ueno, To-y & Kaisei Takechi (c) Vs MAO, KANON (w/ KIMIHIRO) & Kazuma Sumi

The rest of the card will be kept a mystery until the day of the show. Konosuke Takeshita will be a part of it, one day before his big appearance in the Tokyo Dome for “WRESTLE KINGDOM”.

DDT “LET’S GO! IMAIKE MOTOIKE 2025” Results

October 26, 2025

DDT “LET’S GO! IMAIKE MOTOIKE 2025”, 26/10/2025
Aichi Imaike Gas Hall
??? Fans – Unannounced

1. Antonio Honda defeated Kazuma Sumi with a School Boy Cutback (8:43).
2. Daisuke Sasaki, Hideki Okatani, MJ Paul & Ilusion defeated KANON, Naomi Yoshimura, Yuya Koroku & Daichi Sato when Okatani pinned Koroku with the Vertical Drop Brainbuster (13:30).
3. Yukio Naya & HARASHIMA defeated Jun Akiyama & Hinata Kasai when Naya submitted Kasai with a Crab Hold (12:25).
4. Nagoya Specialty Imaike Style Bunbun Hunter x Hunter Match: Chris Brookes & Takeshi Masada defeated Kazuki Hirata & Akito when Masada rescued Bunbun from Hirata (9:41).
5. Special Single Match: MAO (w/ KIMIHIRO) defeated Yuki Iino with a Gedo Clutch Bridge (12:38).
6. The 37KAMIINA Vs Harimao!: Yuki Ueno & To-y defeated Kazusada Higuchi & Yuki Ishida when Ueno pinned Ishida with the Jul.2 (19:19).

While Yuki Ueno is building up his own momentum for Sumo Hall, he took time after the main event to praise Yuki Ishida for the boost of energy in his performances since the most recent Korakuen Hall show. To-y said after a hard weekend it’s only The 37KAMIINA who are left standing. He told the audience if they are ever going through difficulty, they should tilt their head to the side and then scream. After that you’ll instantly feel refreshed and won’t care about anything!

The KO-D Tag Team Titles preview continued with the other halves of The Apex and Strange Love Connection facing each other one on one. MAO now considers himself as a heavyweight wrestler so Yuki Iino was happy to welcome him in with heavy strikes to his opponent. KIMIHIRO distracted Iino by stealing his catchphrase so Iino knocked him off the apron with a Chop to the chest. MAO rolled Iino over using a Gedo Clutch but then bridged himself backwards to pin Iino for the three count. After this weekend The Apex and SLC are 1-1 in singles matches. Both sides agreed that once Team 200kg will be added to the mix at Sumo Hall the title match truly will become the “ULTIMATE PARTY”.

Bunbun went missing during the show and it turned out there was a reason for that. Match #4 became a Bunbun Hunter x Hunter Match where three wrestlers in the room were each carrying a sack with something inside it. The wrestlers had to grab the sack containing Bunbun but if they grabbed the wrong one, they were eliminated from the match. Chris Brookes and Akito both picked wrong so it was left to Takeshi Masada and Kazuki Hirata to fight each other over the remaining sack. Masada gave Hirata his finisher before taking the sack off him, pulling out Bunbun to win. SCHADENFREUDE International apologised to Bunbun afterwards for leaving him behind.

7. Miu Watanabe & Yuki Aino Vs Yuki Arai & Mifu Ashida

Earlier in the week Tetsuya Koda tweeted about the Next Generation Tournament final and compared it to the Pacific League Climax Series that is currently going on. Uta Takami is the Fukuoka SoftBank Hawks who already started the series with a one win advantage and had taken the early lead at that point while Chika Nanase is the Hokkaido Nippon-Ham Fighters who needed to make a big comeback to keep the series going. It’s been a few days since that tweet was put out there and the Hawks ended up winning the series, so things are looking good for Takami.

Osaka City Ikuno Ward Community Center

1. 3 Way Match: Hideki Okatani Vs Yuki Ishida Vs Kazuma Sumi

DDT “LET’S GO! IMAIKE MOTOIKE 2025”, 26/10/2025
Aichi Imaike Gas Hall

1. Antonio Honda Vs Kazuma Sumi
2. Daisuke Sasaki, Hideki Okatani, MJ Paul & Ilusion Vs KANON, Naomi Yoshimura, Yuya Koroku & Daichi Sato

5. The 37KAMIINA Vs Harimao!: Yuki Ueno & To-y Vs Kazusada Higuchi & Yuki Ishida
6. Special Single Match: Yuki Iino Vs MAO (w/ KIMIHIRO)

The next day brings in Yuki Iino and MAO to do the same thing.

DDT “ULTIMATE PARTY 2025”, 03/11/2025
Tokyo Ryogoku Kokugikan

1. Sanshiro Takagi Return Match – Special Single Match: Sanshiro Takagi Vs Hinata Kasai
2. HARASHIMA, Toru Owashi & Naomi Yoshimura Vs Soma Takao, Shinichiro Kawamatsu & Rukiya
3. Special 8-Man Tag Match: Hideki Okatani, MJ Paul, Demus & Ilusion Vs Daichi Sato, Yuki Ishida, Kazuma Sumi & Kumadori

9. Special Tag Match: KONOSUKE TAKESHITA & Kaisei Takechi Vs Kazusada Higuchi & Takeshi Masada
10. KO-D Openweight Title & DDT Universal Title: Yuki Ueno (K/c) Vs Minoru Suzuki (U/c)

Just like that we have the entire lineup for Sumo Hall next month. Konosuke Takeshita wanted Kazusada Higuchi to be in his tag match so Kaisei Takechi asked for Takeshi Masada to be Higuchi’s tag partner. Danshoku Dieno is feeling like a new person after getting surgery but doesn’t understand that his match with Daisuke Sasaki is the rematch of an infamous Sumo Hall main event they had together back on 2018. The KO-D Tag Titles match doesn’t just have The Apex and Strange Love Connection involved. Team 200kg from Sendai Girls are included as well to make it a Survival 3 Way Match.

DDT “RYOGOKU AFTER ~IT’S A WONDERFUL BATTLE~”, 06/11/2025
Shinjuku FACE

1. Special Single Match: KONOSUKE TAKESHITA Vs Antonio Honda

Shortly after Sumo Hall, Takeshita is sticking around for a few more DDT dates. One of them is to have a singles match with Antonio Honda, his old pal and mentor from Happy Motels.

DDT “TONKOTSU SUPLEX”, 08/11/2025
ACROS Fukuoka Event Hall

1. Special 6-Man Tag Match: KONOSUKE TAKESHITA, Daisuke Sasaki & Ilusion Vs MAO, KANON & Kazuma Sumi

After that he teams up with DAMNATION T.A again. Sasaki started respecting Takeshita when he turned heel in AEW and left The 37KAMIINA in DDT so he must really look up to him now that he won the IWGP World Heavyweight Title.

DDT “KUMAMOTO WARRIORS”, 09/11/2025
Kumamoto Castle Hall Civic Hall

1. Special 6-Man Tag Match: KONOSUKE TAKESHITA, Sanshiro Takagi & HARASHIMA Vs To-y, Daichi Sato & Yuki Ishida

So, er… Takeshita’s going to work a few New Japan shows during this period too, right? Because he’s not beating the allegations so far. Would be funny if Takeshita’s entire title reign is spent wrestling the likes of Antonio Honda and Sanshiro Takagi instead of say Shota Umino or Yuya Uemura.

DDT “UTAN FESTA 2025”, 16/11/2025
Tokyo JR Omori Station East Exit Square

1. Omori World Title Next Challenger Battle Royal: X Vs X
2. Interim World Omori Title: Kazuki Hirata Vs Antonio Honda

The current World Omori Champion is the injured Masahiro Takanashi so an interim champion is being crowned in the meantime. Either Kazuki Hirata or Antonio Honda will become Takanashi’s stand-in for the annual Omori Title Match while another No. 1 Contender will be determined in a Battle Royal.
