Life points are reduced by pinfall count, making an opponent submit, forcing them to make a rope break and throwing them out of the ring.

DDT “SENDAI NEW LEGEND 2025 ~GYUTAN~”, 10/08/2025
Miyagi Yume Messe Miyagi
??? Fans – Unannounced
1. Yukio Naya defeated Tomomitsu Matsunaga with The World’s Best Back Drop (8:19).
2. 2 Vs 1 Handicap Match: Kazuki Hirata defeated Danshoku Dieno & Akito when Hirata submitted Akito after Akito was unable to withstand his face being touched by Dieno (9:06).
3. Special 6-Man Tag Match: Daisuke Sasaki, Hideki Okatani & MJ Paul defeated HARASHIMA, Makoto Oishi & Aero Boy when Okatani pinned Oishi with the Vertical Drop Brainbuster (11:55).
4. Right To Challenge Anytime, Anywhere 4 Way Match: Yuya Koroku defeated Ilusion, Takeshi Masada and Kazuma Sumi when Koroku pinned Sumi with the Moonsault Press (7:13).
*Yuya Koroku wins the Green Right To Challenge Anytime, Anywhere Arm Cover.
5. Special 6-Man Tag Match: Kazusada Higuchi, Yuki Iino & Yuki Ishida defeated Jun Akiyama, Chris Brookes & Daichi Sato when Higuchi submitted Sato with the Claw (13:25).
6. MAO 10th Anniversary Match Vol. 1 ~ Special Tag Match: MAO & KANON (w/ KIMIHIRO) defeated Yuki Ueno & To-y when MAO pinned To-y with a Running Palm Strike (21:01).
The first part of MAO’s 10th Anniversary celebrations began in his hometown of Miyagi. He promised the locals he will become Miyagi’s Shikaku Hero and bring the square ring back to the city’s square venue on 14th December. Yuki Ueno had fun fighting MAO and KANON again but To-y promised next time he will turn MAO from a square into a triangle shaped mess! He also threatened to hurt KIMIHIRO during the match which led to KIMIHIRO sneaking in an Apron Dropkick to Ueno later in the match.
After winning the first two prelim matches in their series, Kazusada Higuchi is not taking the results for granted. He feels like his team only beat Jun Akiyama’s team by a hair’s breadth today. Daichi Sato took responsibility for the loss. He said he wanted to win the match by himself in front of Akiyama but ended up submitting to Higuchi’s Claw Hold. Akiyama is learning from the matches though and warns Higuchi he can see his moves clearly now.
The second Right To Challenge Arm Cover was won by Yuya Koroku after he was the last man standing in the 4 Way Match. He wants to keep his focus on the DDT Extreme Title match with To-y first so he will think carefully about what will come next.
Match #2 was changed a couple of times because Gorgeous Matsuno was unable to appear at the show. He had fever symptoms so the match was going to be turned into a 3 Way Match. However Kazuki Hirata currently has a Right To Challenge Arm Cover so Danshoku Dieno & Akito agreed to team up and have a 2 Vs 1 Handicap Match instead. Hirata escaped with a lucky win when Dieno was knocked down sitting on Akito’s face while giving Hirata a Lip Lock. Akito couldn’t take having Dieno’s exposed backside pressing down on his face so he gave up and since Dieno was on his team that meant Hirata was the winner!

The Tag Match he was meant to be in will now be a 3 Way Match between Danshoku Dieno, Akito and Kazuki Hirata. Keep in mind that the Right To Challenge Arm Cover currently belonging to Hirata is now active.
TOKYO JOSHI PRO “TOKYO PRINCESS CUP”, 17/08/2025
Osaka Edion Arena #2
1. 12th Tokyo Princess Cup – Semi Final: Shoko Nakajima Vs Miu Watanabe
2. 12th Tokyo Princess Cup – Semi Final: Yuki Arai Vs Arisu Endo
Osaka is the location for the Tokyo Princess Cup semi finals because what do names even mean anymore? On the one side is Shoko Nakajima against Miu Watanabe in a rematch from their highly praised bout from the Texas tour. Nakajima is treating this match like it is the final given who her opponent is. Watanabe sees just how hard Nakajima has been working as a double champion and wants to match that effort to win.
On the other is Yuki Arai versus Arisu Endo. Arai’s advances in the tournament have never gone worse than the year previously so she either remains stuck in semi final tier for the third year in a row or finally makes it to the final. Endo has never beaten Arai but is coming off of eliminating Miyu Yamashita. Except there’s not many people in the tournament’s history who benefitted from knocking Yamashita out. It’s just Yuka Sakazaki in 2017 and Mizuki in 2019 who continued advancing all the way to the finals from there.

DDT “YOKOHAMERMAID”, 09/08/2025
Yokohama Radiant Hall
??? Fans – Unannounced
1. Special Single Match: Shinya Aoki defeated Takeshi Masada with the Aoki Clutch (7:21).
2. Right To Challenge Anytime, Anywhere 3 Way Match: Kazuki Hirata defeated Danshoku Dieno and Super Sasadango Machine when Hirata pinned Dieno with the Miracle One Shot Cradle (13:27).
*Kazuki Hirata wins the Yellow Right To Challenge Anytime, Anywhere Arm Cover.
3. Special Single Match: HARASHIMA defeated Daichi Sato with the Somato (9:41).
4. Named By Kazuki Hirata “I’m Koroku” Rule: Chris Brookes & Yuya Koroku defeated Yuki Ueno & To-y when Koroku submitted To-y with the Modified Triangle Lancer (12:29).
5. Special Tag Match: Kazusada Higuchi & Yuki Ishida defeated Jun Akiyama & Tomomitsu Matsunaga when Higuchi submitted Matsunaga with the Claw (9:22).
6. Special Tag Match: MAO & KANON (w/ KIMIHIRO) defeated Minoru Suzuki & Akito when MAO pinned Akito with a Gedo Clutch (14:16).
7. KO-D 6-Man Tag Team Titles: Daisuke Sasaki, Hideki Okatani & Ilusion (c) defeated Yuki Iino, Yukio Naya & Kazuma Sumi when Okatani pinned Sumi with the Vertical Drop Brainbuster (20:42).
*V4 for DAMNATION T.A.
The two and a half heavyweight challengers tried using their size to take the KO-D 6-Man Tag Team Titles from DAMNATION T.A. by stacking up on each other. But they didn’t think it through so Kazuma Sumi tried and failed to piggyback Yuki Iino and Yukio Naya over his shoulders. MJ Paul then pulled the referee out of the ring when Naya had Choke Slammed Hideki Okatani. With the ref down, Daisuke Sasaki started attacking the other team with a chair and Ilusion gave them Low Blows too. The Apex figured out how to stack themselves up properly by having Iino piggyback Naya and Sumi stand on top of them for a dive. Unfortunately Sumi missed and despite trying to use the School Boy for a last gasp victory, he ended up getting pinned by Okatani with the Vertical Drop Brainbuster.
After the match Okatani taunted The Apex by telling them to train more for the KO-D Tag Team Titles match at “WRESTLE PETER PAN 2025”. Sasaki said that won’t matter because he and Okatani will surpass them through sheer talent alone. He then had an announcement to make about “CHARISMANIAxMANIAxMANIA” on 2nd October. The main event is going to be Sasaki & El Desperado taking on Shuji Ishikawa & Antonio Honda! Two years after Sasaki and Desperado fought each other in DDT, they now want to team up!
A trickster to the end, MAO was involved in one of the more creative match finishes of the year. He tried to pin Akito with the Japanese Leg Roll Clutch but Minoru Suzuki blocked it and put him in the Sleeper Hold. KANON broke that up and knocked Suzuki into MAO back to back. From there MAO gave Suzuki a Backslide Pin while applying the Gedo Clutch to Akito, pinning both of them for the win. With this victory MAO believes he is now the only person who can take the DDT Universal Title back from Suzuki. However Suzuki has now sworn to kill him at “WRESTLE PETER PAN 2025”!
Kazusada Higuchi is looking forward to defending the KO-D Openweight Title against Jun Akiyama. He sees it as his chance to get revenge for failing to take the title from Akiyama back in 2021. Akiyama said he may have lost today’s prelim match but he got to have a good look at Higuchi. They still have a few more weeks to go until the match so Akiyama hopes he and Higuchi will stay in good condition until then.
The DDT Extreme Title exists to be an avenue for wrestlers to be at their most creative. To-y is expecting Yuya Koroku to come up with an idea crazy enough to make their upcoming title bout exciting. Today Koroku tested his idea out by applying “I Am Koroku” rules (Kazuki Hirata came up with the name) to his tag match against To-y. The rule was a total pinfall count of 20 was needed to win the match alongside the other usual ways. However Koroku ended up winning the match by submission instead. To-y complained that the rules never said that but Koroku defended himself by explaining he never said pinfall was the only way to win. Since To-y is the champion he gets to pick the rules for the title match. He announced them on social media after the show. From now until the day of the show, he and Koroku will receive one life point for every social media post they make that reaches over 10,000 impressions. During the match itself every one count pinfall, rope break and getting thrown out of the ring will take away a Life Point until the loser is reduced to zero.
The first Right To Challenge Anytime, Anywhere prize was up for grabs. This year the prizes are represented with different color Arm Covers. However the first match featured wrestlers who were all hesitant to win for one reason or another. It turns out Danshoku Dieno, Super Sasadango Machine and Kazuki Hirata all do not want to deal with the pressure of holding the title shot that they could lose before cashing it in. Hisaya Imabayashi pleaded with them to take the match seriously so they did. Hirata won the match and couldn’t help but feel fired up over it. He now expects to get beaten up more than usual while building up anticipation for when he will cash in his KO-D Title shot. If he loses it before then he will only be disappointing everyone so he promised to keep it like it was part of his costume.
DDT began the show with a 10 bell salute dedicated to the late Tomohiko Hashimoto. He passed away at 47 years old from liver cancer on 5th August.

DDT “BATTLE OF HAMAMATSU”, 02/08/2025
Shizuoka Act City Hamamatsu
??? Fans – Unannounced
1. Hideki Okatani defeated Kazuma Sumi with the Vertical Drop Brainbuster (7:04).
2. 3 Way Body Slam Match: Danshoku Dieno defeated Akito and Yuya Koroku when Dieno Body Slammed Koroku (7:32).
3. Special Tag Match: Yuki Iino & Antonio Honda defeated Hideki “Shrek” Sekine & Kazuki Hirata when Honda pinned Hirata after The Apex Elbow from Iino (10:53).
4. HARASHIMA, Chris Brookes & Takeshi Masada defeated Daisuke Sasaki, Ilusion & MJ Paul when HARASHIMA pinned Paul with the Somato (12:01).
5. Special Tag Match: MAO & KANON (w/ HIMIHIRO) defeated Jun Akiyama & Daichi Sato when KANON pinned Sato with the LONELY DEZIRES (12:15).
6. Special 6-Man Tag Match: Yuki Ueno, To-y & Shinya Aoki defeated Kazusada Higuchi, Yukio Naya & Yuki Ishida when To-y pinned Ishida with the Kojima Impact (22:41).
Today’s main event might serve as a preview for “WRESTLE PETER PAN 2025 – DAY 2” because Kazusada Higuchi and Yuki Ueno were both in it. However Ueno also had to worry about Shinya Aoki because for some reason Aoki broke up a pinfall when Ueno covered Yukio Naya. He later explained it was because he thought Naya was making funny faces at him during that moment. Back in the match Higuchi held Ueno in the Candian Backbreaker and then grabbed To-y in the Claw Hold. Yuki Ishida then tried to get the win at To-y’s expense but instead To-y pinned him with the Kojima Impact. Backstage Higuchi said he hadn’t considered today to be a prelim match with Ueno because he is focused on his KO-D Openweight Title defence with Jun Akiyama first. All Higuchi got from today’s match is he is feeling like he is in good shape.
Since Hideki Sekine is from Hamamatsu and was wrestling in front of friends he didn’t want to do anything embarrassing during his match. That includes dancing so he took the Hirata GO! glasses away from Kazuki Hirata. However when Antonio Honda pulled out Gongitsune, Sekine changed his mind and wore the glasses to fight back while dancing. While this was happening, Yuki Iino beat up Hirata and gave him The Apex Elbow. Honda was able to pin Hirata while Sekine was busy dancing by himself.
There were two tributes for the late Hulk Hogan on this show. Hisaya Imabayashi decided to turn the 3 Way Match into a Body Slam Challenge where the first wrestler to successfully do the move would win. Also at the start of the show Honda entered the ring in full Hogan cosplay and performed his rendition of Hulk Hogan Gymnastics.

“SHINJUKU FACE 20TH ANNIVERSARY ~MILESTONE~”, 31/07/2025
Shinjuku FACE
??? Fans – Unannounced
1. Daisuke Sasaki, Hideki Okatani & Ilusion defeated Toru Owashi, Kazuki Hirata & Makoto Oishi when Sasaki submitted Hirata with the Crossface Lock (0:07).
1a. Rematch: Daisuke Sasaki, Hideki Okatani & Ilusion defeated Toru Owashi, Kazuki Hirata & Makoto Oishi when Ilusion pinned Oishi with the Swanton Bomb (7:01).
2. Minoru Suzuki & Chinsuke Nakamura defeated Jun Akiyama & Fat Kobashi when Suzuki submitted Kobashi with an Achilles Tendon Hold (13:15).
3. Mayumi Ozaki, HARASHIMA & Yukio Naya defeated Shin Sakura Hirota, Antonio Honda & Takeshi Masada (w/ Sanshiro Takagi) when Ozaki pinned Hirota with the Ozaki Kick (16:30).
4. MAO defeated Kuroshio TOKYO Japan with a Japanese Leg Roll Clutch (18:26).
5. Hiromu Takahashi & Chris Brookes Vs Yuki Ueno & Atsuki Aoyagi ended in a Time Limit Draw (20:00).
To celebrate 20 years of Shinjuku FACE a special show was put together featuring wrestlers from six different promotions. Really it was a DDT show with guests from New Japan, All Japan, OZ Academy, Up Town and West Gate Wrestling Federation involved. Hiromu Takahashi teamed with Chris Brookes while Atsuki Aoyagi teamed with Yuki Ueno in the main event tag match that lasted the full 20 minutes. Ueno felt the match was short but as long as Shinjuku FACE continues to exist there will always be more to come. Brookes was more upset that the bar was now closed because the show is about to end. Aoyagi said he would have liked to have done a singles match but he’s too tired right now. Takahashi said he hasn’t wrestled in this venue a lot but he has a fond memory of a New Japan show he did here back in May 2011. He beat a young lion making his debut named Takaaki Watanabe. Takahashi doesn’t know what ever happened to him but believes he would have become a superstar had he stuck around…
MAO and Kuroshio TOKYO Japan ended up chasing each other around the room with the Dramatic Dream bike involved. When they went back to the ring Kuroshio demanded a strike exchange to determine who is more popular. It turned into a series of roll ups that eventually ended with MAO scoring the three count.
The first pro wrestling match to be held in Shinjuku FACE 20 years ago featured Mayumi Ozaki so it was fitting she would get to take part in today’s show. That wasn’t the only special thing about Match #3. Sanshiro Takagi announced a surprise for everyone and called out Konosuke Takeshita! Then Shin Sakura Hirota wearing her complete Takeshita costume. After Ozaki won the match she told the fans she looks forward to their continued support for OZ Academy, herself and also DDT.
Minoru Suzuki got stuck with the parody wrestlers from West Gate Wrestling Federation. He enjoyed beating them up though.
In the opening match Kazuki Hirata made the mistake of launching an attack on DAMNATION T.A by himself. They easily took care of him and Daisuke Sasaki tapped him out before Hirata’s partners could even do anything. Staff forced the match to restart and this time DAMNATION T.A won in a more regular manner.
At the end of the show all of the wrestlers gathered in the ring alongside some of the venue’s staff. Everyone was introduced to Yuka Ogawa who was responsible for organizing today’s event. She said she is truly happy to have travelled this path of pro wrestling for 20 years. This show was a source of pride for her and her staff. She promised fans that they will continue to do their best to fill Shinjuku FACE with the same joy and excitement that everyone felt today.

7. KO-D Tag Team Titles – Seiwa Shoji Co., Ltd. Presents: Yuki Iino & Yukio Naya (c) defeated Jun Akiyama & Daichi Sato when Naya pins Sato with The World’s Best Back Drop (19:27).
*V1 for The Apex.
8. Toyota S&D Nishitokyo Co., Ltd. Presents HARASHIMA Debut 24th Anniversary Match – Special 6-Man Tag Match: HARASHIMA, Togi Makabe & Yasu Urano defeated Shinya Aoki, Shuji Ishikawa & Akito when HARASHIMA pinned Akito with the Swan Dive Somato (17:41).
It was a glorious homecoming for HARASHIMA as DDT held a show in his home city of Ome in Tokyo. He invited his old buddy Togi Makabe from the Teikyo University Pro Wrestling Club to team with him and Yasu Urano in the main event. HARASHIMA started the match off with Shinya Aoki while Makabe traded Lariats with Shuji Ishikawa. Urano took a beating from the other team but HARASHIMA avoided taking the Splash Mountain from Ishikawa. Makabe Clotheslined him out of the ring to allow HARASHIMA to pin Akito with the Swan Dive Somato. HARASHIMA thanked Makabe after the match for making memories with him. Backstage Makabe said he is overwhelmed with emotion because he sees how hard HARASHIMA is working to promote DDT. HARASHIMA talked about the times they trained together in the wrestling club 30 years ago and now here they are standing in the same ring together as pro wrestlers. He always wanted to wrestle in his hometown and it took everyone’s help to finally make it happen.
The Apex got past Jun Akiyama & Daichi Sato for their first defence of the KO-D Tag Team Titles but the next pair of challengers quickly revealed themselves. Akiyama & Sato came close to winning the belts when Akiyama gave Yukio Naya a Superplex and Sato followed up with the Mad Splash. But Yuki Iino broke the count and Naya regained his footing by hitting Sato with Knee Lifts before finishing him off with The World’s Best Back Drop. As soon as Iino tried to speak on the microphone, Ilusion came out and distracted The Apex so Daisuke Sasaki & Hideki Okatani could attack them from behind with chairs and Low Blows. They then said DAMNATION T.A are the next challengers because they want the belts and The Apex do not deserve them. The champions accepted the challenge and will do the match on 30th August. Backstage Iino & Naya praised Sato for his performance and look forward to fighting him even more in the future. Akiyama also told Sato they can keep challenging the champions as many times as it will take to beat them. Then even later Iino confronted DAMNATION T.A demanding a KO-D 6-Man Tag Team Titles shot. Sasaki refused because The Apex don’t have a third man to team with. Iino quickly found Kazuma Sumi nearby and told him he’s the perfect “heavyweight” to team with him and Naya. That title match will happen on 9th August.
The tag match between The 37KAMIINA and SCHADENFREUDE International was turned into a Falls Count Anywhere Match on a few days notice but everyone involved took to the idea like a duck to water. There was a lot of action that took place outside the ring, a castle of chairs that everyone crashed into and a lot of dives that happened over by the entrance stage. Takeshi Masada Power Bombed To-y into a stack of chairs and he tried to pin To-y on top of them but Yuki Ueno broke the count by diving into them. Chris Brookes then added extra damage to everyone by doing a Senton onto the pile of bodies. Even Bunbun got caught up in the carnage when Ueno gave him a Backbreaker and threw his mangled body high into the air for SCHADENFREUDE International to catch. Ueno then followed with a dive onto them. After that he placed Masada onto a table for To-y to do a Diving Body Press from the stage to get the three count.
The Danshoku Dieno Vs Kazuki Hirata bout was the only match on the card that did not have any sponsorship attached to it. For that reason Hisaya Imabayashi ordered Hirata to stop Dieno from doing anything vulgar so DDT can run a show in Ome again next year. The GM also did his part by staying at ringside to block Dieno from approaching any fans. It became too difficult for them to stop Dieno from being, well, Dieno so Imabayashi brought in a chair to attack him with. However Hirata stopped him and gave a speech about how a pro wrestler is as good as dead if they ever lose their individuality. Imabayashi didn’t agree and tried to attack Hirata with the chair. Hirata deflected him right into Dieno’s Hell Gate, knocking Imabayashi out. Hirata hugged Dieno but then tried to hit him with an Axe Bomber. Dieno dodged it, put Hirata in the Lip Lock and then pinned him with the Gaydo Clutch.
Shinichiro Kawamatsu wanted to win his match with the Axe Bomber he inherited from the late Hulk Hogan and even hit the move on Soma Takao. However Naomi Yoshimura knocked him out of the ring afterwards and pinned Makoto Oishi with the Hara-goshi. Kawamatsu revealed backstage he had tried several times in the past to set up a Hogan appearance for DDT but was never able to make it happen. He promised to continue working hard while thinking about what Hogan would want to tell the Japanese fans.

DDT “TROPICAL NANIWAN SUMMER”, 19/07/2025
Osaka Azalea Taisho Hall
??? Fans – Unannounced
1. Ilusion defeated Tomomitsu Matsunaga with the Swanton Bomb (7:38).
2. Daisuke Sasaki & Hideki Okatani defeated Akito & Kazuma Sumi when Okatani pinned Akito with the Vertical Drop Brainbuster (11:13).
3. Special 6-Man Tag Match: Danshoku Dieno, Takeshi Masada & Yuya Koroku defeated HARASHIMA, Naomi Yoshimura & Kazuki Hirata when Koroku submitted Hirata with a Wakigatame (0:04).
3a. Rematch: Danshoku Dieno, Takeshi Masada & Yuya Koroku defeated HARASHIMA, Naomi Yoshimura & Kazuki Hirata when Koroku submitted Hirata with a Wakigatame (11:17).
4. Jun Akiyama & Daichi Sato defeated Yuki Iino & Soma Takao when Sato pinned Takao with the Mad Splash (11:02).
5. SCHADENFREUDE International Vs STRANGE LOVE CONNECTION: MAO & KANON (w/ KIMIHIRO) defeated Chris Brookes & Antonio Honda when MAO pinned Honda with the Iai Kick (14:01).
6. Harimao Vs The 37KAMIINA!: Yuki Ueno & To-y defeated Kazusada Higuchi & Yuki Ishida when Ueno pinned Ishida with the Jul.2 (17:52).
It’s starting to be noticed by others that Yuki Ishida hasn’t been getting good results in his matches lately. He took the fall in today’s main event after The37KAMIINA gave them a variation of the Mad Max and then Yuki Ueno pinned him with the Jul.2. After the match Ueno talked about the possibility that Kazusada Higuchi will beat Jun Akiyama on 30th August then the next day Ueno can beat Higuchi to become the new KO-D Openweight Champion. He then called out Ishida for regularly losing matches despite putting hard work and energy into them. His advice to Ishida is he should pursue what he thinks is best and bring it with him. Backstage Higuchi said ever since his title defence with HARASHIMA last week, Harimao has been facing nothing but adversity.
Momentum continues to build up for both Akiyama and Daichi Sato. Not only does Akiyama have the KO-D Title shot but the two of them will be challenging for the KO-D Tag Team Titles soon. They beat one half of the champions today but Yuki Iino put it out there that he hasn’t attempted to use the Spear even once during these preliminary matches. He warns that when he does give the Spear to Sato it will break his stomach and finish him off straight away! Meanwhile Akiyama is waiting for Yukio Naya to fully heal from his neck injury. He expects The Apex to be fully prepared for them as the defending tag champions.
Yuya Koroku instantly submitted Kazuki Hirata with a Standing Arm Lock so both teams agreed to restart the match. Koroku almost immediately submitted him again but Naomi Yoshimura was there to break it up this time. Then when Danshoku Dieno went into the Hell Gate position, Hirata took Bunbun from Takeshi Masada and stuck it into Dieno’s backside! Koroku got revenge by grabbing Hirata’s arm with Bunbun on it and making him give up to another Standing Arm Lock.
Interference from MJ Paul helped Ilusion avenge his recent pinfall loss to Tomomitsu Matsunaga. Paul got in the ring to attack Matsunaga behind the ref’s back and also distracted the ref so Ilusion could do a Low Blow. One DDT and Swanton Bomb later gave Ilusion the win.

Out of the goodness of his heart (and so he wouldn’t have to give him money) To-y offered Koroku a chance to challenge him for the title.

All of a sudden a Beer Garden show had a big stake main event added to it. A 21-Man Battle Royal took place where the winner would get a KO-D Openweight Title shot for “WRESTLE PETER PAN 2025 – DAY 2” on 31st August. HARASHIMA, Chris Brookes and Daisuke Sasaki had just fought each other to a 20+ minute draw in a King Of Drunk match and had to immediately take part in the Battle Royal without getting any break to sober up. Brookes ended up falling out of the ring by himself to be the first one eliminated. The match looked like it came down to Yuki Ueno and KANON but when Ueno pinned KANON to eliminate him, Kazuki Hirata jumped into the ring after spending the whole match hiding away from everyone else. Ueno kicked out of the Roll Up and grabbed Hirata to give him the WR. Hirata was too scared to take the move and gave up before Ueno could do it. After being declared the winner, Ueno talked about the joy he gets from seeing DDT get more popular. If he gets to challenge for the KO-D Title this summer then that means he is going to win it and make DDT even more interesting! His title shot is also happening the day before his birthday so he is looking forward to it even more.
The annual Customer Lottery match added a bonus treat for everyone. Not only were the two teams determined by a fan lottery but the wrestlers swapped each other’s costumes around too! Yuki Ishida was To-y, Antonio Honda was Ishida, Takeshi Masada was Yuya Koroku, Koroku was MAO, MAO was Masada, Ueno was Honda, To-y was Hirata and Hirata was Ueno.
The undercard had some changes due to some injuries. Yukio Naya has to take the rest of the week off to deal with neck pains so Ryoma Tsukamoto was brought in to team with Kazusada Higuchi & Yuki Iino. The match still served as a preview for the KO-D Tag Team Titles match because Iino and Daichi Sato fought each other back and forth. They didn’t even stop when the match had ended. When they had finally stopped, Iino sent a message backstage by saying he wants Sato to give him more and more until the title match takes place. Sato knows Iino is bigger and stronger than him but he wants to know can The Apex really call themselves tag champs when Naya has to be absent for the next few shows? He wants Naya to fully recover in time for the title match.
Yuni is also injured with a cracked rib he suffered from yesterday’s show. He had to miss his match today but was able to be in attendance so he could perform with the rest of NωA Jr.
