I only noticed now that BASARA originally got the brackets wrong when they posted the 1st Round matches. They should be correct now.

DDT “NARAHA TOWN COME ON! ROJO PRO WRESTLING IN ASAKUSA”, 04/10/2025
Tokyo Asakusa Broadway Shopping Arcade

1. Falls Count Anywhere 3 Way Tag Match: Yuki Ueno & To-y Vs Kazusada Higuchi & Yuki Ishida Vs Kazuma Sumi & Rukiya

It is now three years since To-y became an unofficial immigration ambassador for Naraha Town. He is still in an incredible amount of debt to the area that is nowhere near close to being paid off so he is eager to promote the place as hard as he can which includes getting DDT to hold Falls Count Anywhere matches over there every once in a while. Naraha’s mascot Yuzutaro will be in attendance, partially because he is To-y’s debt collector.

DDT “ECHIGO CHIN CRUSHER”, 05/10/2025
Niigata Higashi Ward Plaza

1. Yukio Naya, Akito & Hinata Kasai Vs Daisuke Sasaki, Hideki Okatani & MJ Paul
2. Yuki Iino & Yuya Koroku Vs HARASHIMA & Kazuki Hirata
3. Yuki Ueno & Kazuma Sumi Vs Chris Brookes & Takeshi Masada
4. Special Tag Match: Jun Akiyama & Daichi Sato Vs Kazusada Higuchi & Yuki Ishida
5. Special Single Match: To-y Vs Ilusion
6. Special Tag Match: Super Sasadango Machine & Danshoku Dieno Vs MAO & KANON (w/ KIMIHIRO)

A rematch between To-y and Ilusion is set for Niigata but this time the DDT Extreme Title is not on the line. It’s only going to be a singles match so there’s no streamer nonsense for either of them to worry about.

9. Princess Of Princess Title: Miu Watanabe (c) Vs Yuki Aino

The next big arena supercard show scheduled for Tokyo Joshi Pro will be over at Sumo Hall in March. The promotion wants its locker room to to start preparing for it straight away so they’ve come up with a “LEVEL UP TRIAL” for three of the lesser experienced wrestlers. Shino Suzuki, Haru Kazashiro and Uta Takami have been tasked with taking on Miyu Yamashita, Mizuki and Shoko Nakajima respectively in three singles matches. The goal of this challenge is for the younger side to win two of them.

The 5 Way Match will have special rules applied but they haven’t been decided on yet. It will like become an Iron Man Heavymetalweight Title match too if Mahiro Kiryu is still the champion on the day of the show.

Rika Tatsumi and HIMAWARI won’t be at the show because they will be wrestling each other over in China that day instead.

7. KO-D 6-Man Tag Team Titles: Yuki Ueno, To-y & Kaisei Takechi (c) Vs Minoru Suzuki, HARASHIMA & Yuya Koroku

DDT held a press conference today to announce the upcoming title matches involving Yuki Ueno and Minoru Suzuki. Yes there’s more than one because it turns out Ueno’s fun idea for his first KO-D 6-Man Tag Team Titles defence is to nominate Suzuki as one of the challengers! Kaisei Takechi is just as excited by the idea because as a pro wrestler he wants to overcome all kinds of threats no matter how scary they can be. To-y feels like he has no choice but to fight Suzuki too. Suzuki first said he could fight all three champions by himself but Hisaya Imabayashi told him that wouldn’t be possible. Suzuki then asked if he could invite wrestlers like Lance Archer or Chris Jericho to team with him? Imabayashi couldn’t find an answer but Suzuki understood that would be too difficult to set up on short notice. Imabayashi decided he will choose who Suzuki will team up with, eventually picking HARASHIMA & Yuya Koroku to be on Suzuki’s team.

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

1. Sanshiro Takagi Return Match – Special Single Match: Sanshiro Takagi Vs Hinata Kasai
2. Special 6-Man Tag Match: Jun Akiyama, Shinya Aoki & Yuya Koroku Vs Tetsuya Endo, HAYATA & Junta Miyawaki
3. DDT Extreme Title – 3 Way Match: To-y (c) Vs Akito Vs Super Sasadango Machine

5. Dramatic Dream Match: Zack Sabre Jr. Vs Chris Brookes
6. KO-D Openweight Title & DDT Universal Title: Yuki Ueno (K/c) Vs Minoru Suzuki (U/c)

Double title matches aren’t anything new in pro wrestling lately. In fact they’ve kind of become a bit too common. At least here it will be the first time the KO-D Openweight Title and DDT Universal Title will both be on the line in the same match. This whole thing started with Ueno luring Suzuki to DDT by using the Universal Title only to lose it to him. At the press conference, Suzuki even blamed Ueno for thinking he could beat him with just youth and momentum. He came to DDT to become a dominant champion and now that he sees Ueno with the KO-D Title he is coming to take that too. Ueno admits that this match was always his plan to get revenge on Suzuki. He felt the best way to get the rematch was to win DDT’s most important title and put it on the line against him. With that said, Ueno can’t find it in himself to hate Suzuki. He also said if he loses this match he will never challenge Suzuki again. Suzuki then started pretending he was a reporter for “Weekly Piledriver” and asked Ueno questions about why he wanted this match so badly so Ueno then did the same to him as a “Weekly Sauna Kamiina” reporter. Eventually the two almost got into a fight over the belts and had to be seperated.

“YASU URANO 25TH ANNIVERSARY BOX OFFICE”, 16/11/2025
Shin-Kiba 1st RING

1. Yasu Urano Vs Trans-Am ★ Hiroshi

We’ve had twenty five years of the bandana boy Yasu Urano bouncing around the Japanese indies. DDT was his home for a lot of that period but he’s been a freelancer for a long time now with BASARA being one of his regular spots. Urano is putting together his own show to celebrate his anniversary but BASARA have been promoting it pretty strongly so for all intents and purposes I’m lumping the show in the BASARA category on this site.

Urano has picked Trans-Am ★ Hiroshi to be his opponent but several other wrestlers have already been booked for the show. They are Minoru Fujita, HARASHIMA, Toru Owashi, Antonio Honda, Daisuke Sasaki and Fuminori Abe with more to come.
