DDT “MISEN 2025”, 16/08/2025
Aichi Imaike Gas Hall
??? Fans – Unannounced
1. Chris Brookes, Antonio Honda & Tomomitsu Matsunaga defeated Yuki Ueno, To-y & Kazuma Sumi when Honda pinned To-y with the Japanese Leg Roll Clutch (10:45).
*Antonio Honda wins To-y’s Right To Challenge Anytime Anywhere Arm Cover.
2. Danshoku Dieno, Naomi Yoshimura & Takeshi Masada defeated Soma Takao, Shota & Kazuki Hirata when Yoshimura pinned Shota with the Harai-goshi (10:58).
3. Special Single Match: Akito defeated Ilusion with a European lutch (9:07).
4. Right To Challenge Anytime, Anywhere 3 Way Match: Hideki Okatani defeated Daichi Sato and Yuki Ishida when Okatani pinned Sato with the Skewer Claymore (9:09).
*Hideki Okatani wins the Blue Right To Challenge Anytime Anywhere Arm Cover.
5. Special Tag Match: Jun Akiyama & HARASHIMA defeated Daisuke Sasaki & MJ Paul when HARASHIMA pinned Paul with the Somato (11:33).
6. Special 6-Man Tag Match: Kazusada Higuchi, Yuki Iino & Yukio Naya defeated MAO, KANON & Yuya Koroku (w/ KIMIHIRO) when Higuchi pinned Koroku with the Claw Slam (19:49).
The trio of champions are coming out of the main event all confident that they will defend their titles on 30th August. In fact Yuki Iino is so confident about it he believes Kazusada Higuchi and The Apex will all still be the champions the next time DDT comes back to Nagoya! Yukio Naya joined in by combining The Apex’s catchphrase with Harimao’s. “The Apex, dosukoi! Yeah!”
Two notable things happened over the Right To Challenge Arm Covers today. Hideki Okatani is the latest person to get his hands on one by winning the Blue Arm Cover in a 3 Way Match. When asked about his plans to cash in, he kept quiet and only gave a sinister smile in response. Earlier in the show Antonio Honda pinned To-y in their match to win his RTC Arm Cover. Honda sent something of a warning to Higuchi to start dreaming of him whenever he sleeps because when that dream ends, Honda will be wearing the KO-D Openweight Title belt!

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!

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.

Originally I was only going to write a little bit about GCW’s latest tour of Japan in my monthly DDT Around The World series because there was only a handful of DDT and Tokyo Joshi Pro talent taking part and not even on every show. However plans changed when Masha Slamovich and Microman were both unable to travel to Japan, opening spots up for DDT and TJPW wrestlers to get booked for the shows on short notice. So since there was a lot more to write about, I had to put them in their own post.
GCW “GCW JAPAN 2025 AT SHINJUKU FACE”, 28/07/2025
Shinjuku FACE
??? Fans
1. GCW Tag Team Titles: Alec Price & Jordan Oliver (c) defeated Effy & Dark Sheik when Price pinned Sheik after a Flapjack/Facecrusher Combo (11:48).
*V12 for YDNP.
2. Drew Parker defeated Shotzi Blackheart with the Swanton Bomb (6:48).
3. Jeffrey John defeated Kikutaro with the Pedigree (10:06).
4. MAO defeated Atticus Cogar after a Super Kick/Praying Mantis Bomb Combo with Drew Parker (12:38).
5. Kazusada Higuchi defeated 1 Called Manders with the Claw Slam (14:01).
6. GCW Ultraviolent Title: Matt Tremont (c) defeated Super Crazy with the Death Valley Driver onto a Table (12:07).
*V16 for Matt Tremont.
GCW put together an inter-promotional champion versus champion match. 1 Called Manders was supposed to face Slamovich for the JCW World Title but that match was cancelled. Instead Manders brought along the wXw Unified World Wrestling Title to fight Kazusada Higuchi, the reigning KO-D Openweight Champion in a non-title bout. The two made sure to beat the hell out of each other including a moment at ringside where Higuchi Suplexed Manders onto the exposed floor. The damage done prevented Manders from doing a Gutwrench move later in the match, allowing Higuchi to take over with the Doctor Bomb. But Manders got right back up, Chopped Higuchi in the stomach and pulled off the Gutwrench Suplex on the next attempt. A back and forth series of Chops and Headbutts led to Higuchi reaching out for the Claw Hold but Manders bit his hand instead. A big Lariat from Manders got a two count but Higuchi rocked him back with his own Lariat and used the Claw Slam to get the win. After the match Manders offered to hand the KO-D Title back to Higuchi as a show of respect. Higuchi decided to do the same with the wXw Title.
Opposite attitudes clashed in the ring when MAO fought Atticus Cogar one on one. MAO came into the match wearing shades and a bright orange shirt for the summer while Cogar was all business with no time for dealing with his opponent’s nonsense. When MAO wiggled his way around a Waist Lock, Cogar pulled out his bundle of skewers. The ref took the skewers off him but Cogar pulled another bundle later in the match and threatened the ref when they were taken off him again. MAO ran in to try and stop Atticus but he missed a Big Boot and accidentally knocked the ref out instead! Cogar successfully jabbed MAO in the head with the skewers and then attack him with a chair. Then he suddenly pulled out a dart and was about to stab MAO with it when Drew Parker ran into the ring and stopped him. MAO and Parker then teamed up on Cogar, giving him a Super Kick/Praying Mantis Bomb Combo. MAO was able to pin him while the revived ref counted to three.
GCW “GCW JAPAN 2025 AT TOKYO SQUARE”, 29/07/2025
TOKYO SQUARE In Itabashi
??? Fans
1. Shota defeated Jeffrey John with a School Boy (8:17).
2. Hideyoshi Kamitani defeated 1 Called Manders with a Back Drop (11:29).
3. MAO, Alec Price & Jordan Oliver defeated Miyu Yamashita, Dark Sheik & Shotzi Blackheart when Price pinned Sheik after a Double Impaler DDT (15:19).
4. Atticus Cogar defeated Drew Parker with the Headlock Driver (8:32).
5. GCW World Title: Effy (c) defeated Abdullah Kobayashi with the Diving Sack Rider (14:34).
*V25 for Effy.
6. GCW Ultraviolent Title: Matt Tremont (c) defeated Masashi Takeda with the Death Valley Driver into a box of Lighttubes (12:07).
*V17 for Matt Tremont.
Slamovich’s absence meant Miyu Yamashita was called in to team with Dark Sheik & Shotzi Blackheart. As for their opponents, you already have Alec Price & Jordan Oliver as YDNP so add MAO to the mix and you get YDNPM (Young Dumb ‘N Price MAO)! Yamashita hit Price with the Skull Kick at one point but Price got one back on her by hitting a Rebound Lariat. MAO then took out Yamashita & Blackheart with a Quebrada outside the ring into the aisleway. YDNP then finished Sheik off with a Double Impaler DDT for the victory.
GCW “GCW JAPAN 2025 AT KORAKUEN HALL”, 30/07/2025
Tokyo Korakuen Hall
??? Fans
1. GCW Tag Team Titles: Alec Price & Jordan Oliver (c) defeated MAO & Rina Yamashita when Price pinned Yamashita after the Double Impaler DDT (?:??).
*V13 for YDNP.
2. Atticus Cogar defeated Miyu Yamashita with the Headlock Driver (?:??).
3. Dark Sheik, Yoshihiko & Jeffrey John defeated Invisible Stan, Shota & Kikutaro when Sheik pinned Shota with the Diving Leg Drop (?:??).
4. Jun Akiyama defeated 1 Called Manders with the Wrist-Clutch Exploder Suplex (?:??).
5. Maki Itoh defeated Shotzi Blackheart with a Crab Hold (12:29).
6. Chris Brookes defeated Drew Parker with two Praying Mantis Bombs (23:16).
7. GCW World Title: Effy (c) defeated Matt Tremont with the Diving Sack Rider onto the Chairs (21:34).
*V26 for Effy.
One of the big matches of the finale in Korakuen Hall was Chris Brookes being in the ring again with Drew Parker. This was the first match together in over two years after Parker left Japan to return home. Parker was busted open early when they brawled up the aisleway and Brookes rammed a table into his face. Parker knocked Brookes onto the table then fought off Takeshi Masada who was there as a cornerman. He had Bunbun with him so Parker grabbed Bunbun, climbed the nearby entrance and did a Diving Body Press to Brookes through the table! Brookes later did a Diving Senton to Parker sending both of them crashing into a stack of plastic boxes in the ring. After a long hard fought battle Brookes started giving Parker different kinds of Piledrivers. There was a Tombstone, then a Snap Piledriver, then a top rope Praying Mantis Bomb. Parker kept kicking out though and tried to show whatever defiance he still had left in him. Brookes then gave him two more Praying Mantis Bombs and Parker was finally down for the three count. The two embraced after the match.
Maki Itoh took part in last year’s GCW tour with a hand injury so in a kind of funny turn of events she took on Shotzi Blackheart who was going through the same thing for this year’s tour. At one point during the match Itoh went into the crowd because she noticed Shoko Nakajima and Miu Watanabe sitting on the bleachers as spectators. Back in the ring there was a strike exchange with Itoh no selling strikes to the head while Blackheart no sold Low Blows. When Blackheart got the upper hand, Itoh pulled out a pizza cutter and attacked her with it. Blackheart went for a Running Knee Strike but Itoh rolled her over into a Crab Hold, increasing the pressure until Blackheart gave up.
If anyone had a hard hitting three days of wrestling it was Manders. His third and final singles match of a tour was a dream come true for him because he got to fight Jun Akiyama. Much like the Higuchi match, both men hit and slammed each other as hard as they could until one reached their limit. That happened when Akiyama gave Manders the Wrist-Clutch Exploder Suplex. Manders gave Akiyama the horns up hand sign after the match and Akiyama replied in kind.
Throughout the tour a grudge developed between Jeffrey John and Kikutaro. It led to Kikutaro costing John a match against Shota and then brought Dark Sheik into the picture to even the playing field. Kikutaro was meant to fight Dark Sheik & Yoshihiko on this show with Microman as his partner. Plans changed so he decided to call in the big guns and invite Invisible Stan to team with him and Shota! Stan’s biggest impact in the match was to do the Korakuen balcony dive onto everyone down below! Back in the ring John landed a Plancha to Kikutaro, Yoshihiko gave Shota a Tornado DDT and Sheik then pinned him with the Diving Leg Drop.
The match Yamashita was scheduled to take part in was a singles bout with Atticus Cogar. Nowadays whenever Yamashita takes part in GCW she gets more and more into the wilder wrestling style of the company compared to TJPW. The same was seen here when she briefly stopped Cogar from using a chair by kicking it apart! The frame was still in one piece so it remained to be used as a weapon by both. Cogar pulled out the skewers but it was Yamashita who jabbed them into his head rather than the other way around! However Cogar recovered and gave her the Air Raid Crash. Yamashita kicked out of it but Cogar immediately rolled it into the Headlock Driver to win the match.
MAO and YDNP became opponents for the final show of the tour. The opening match was a GCW Tag Team Titles bout with MAO joining up with Rina Yamashita as Slamovich’s replacement to challenge the champions. They came close to winning when MAO hit a Frog Splash and Yamashita did a Diving Body Press on Price but Oliver made it in time to break the pin. MAO ran up the corner to do a Jumping Cutter but Price cut him off in midair with a Super Kick. With MAO out of the picture, YDNP were then able to beat Yamashita with the Double Impaler DDT.

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.

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.

4. Beer Garden Specialty Customer Lottery 8-Man Tag Match: Kazuki Hirata, Yuki Ueno, Yuya Koroku & Antonio Honda (w/ KIMIHIRO) defeated To-y, MAO, Takeshi Masada & Yuki Ishida when Honda pinned Ishida with the Japanese Leg Roll Clutch (15:22).

6. KO-D Openweight Title Next Challenger Battle Royal: Yuki Ueno defeated Kazuki Hirata when Hirata gave up after being scared of the WR (14:04).
Order Of Eliminations: Chris Brookes, Tomomitsu Matsunaga, Hideki Okatani & Ilusion & MJ Paul, HARASHIMA, Daisuke Sasaki, Soma Takao, To-y, Yuki Ishida, Yuya Koroku, Antonio Honda, Akito, Shinya Aoki, Yuki Iino & Daichi Sato, Kazuma Sumi, Takeshi Masada, KANON, Kazuki Hirata.
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.
