Sorry, I couldn’t fit in time over the Halloween weekend to write up a preview. But there was a DDT press conference that took place on Halloween that had a few updates to the card including the match order.

11. KO-D Openweight Title: MAO (c) Vs Chris Brookes
DDT held an outdoor press conference at Zendentsu Labor Hall in Tokyo to promote the major matches of “ULTIMATE PARTY 2026” coming up soon. MAO and Chris Brookes both signed the contract for the KO-D Openweight Title main event then spoke about the upcoming match. Brookes compared MAO to a younger brother at first but then started thinking that a son is more accurate. He remembers MAO was one of the wrestlers who gave him the warmest welcome when he entered DDT. Over they years Brookes helped design merchandise for MAO’s band and when Brookes won his first championship in DDT, MAO couldn’t help but sob like a child. However Brookes thinks that dynamic shifted when MAO won the KO-D Title this year. MAO has grown into a cool and confident champion which Brookes admits makes him feel a little lonely. Whether this match is the end of their chapter or the start of a new one, Brookes does not want the story to be one where the “son” defeats his “father”. MAO thinks Brookes has also grown up over the seven years they’ve known each other but in his core he is still the same as when they first met. MAO wants this main event to be the culmination of every absurd match he and Brookes have previously had together to show everyone how fun pro wrestling can be.
For the Dramatic Dream Match, Shinya Aoki is calling his shot and said his goal is to beat Zack Sabre Jr. by submission. Sabre said he is happy to wrestle in DDT again and he understands when people like Yuki Ueno say that DDT is a family. If Sabre could tell his 14 year old self he would one day wrestle Aoki, he would just as excited and terrified as he feels right now. He does not see this match as New Japan Vs DDT. Instead it is his chance to prove to everyone again that he is the best technical wrestler in the world. Aoki does feel some responsibility to compete in the match as a newly signed DDT wrestler. It is giving him an extra push not to lose. The previous time they wrestled each other, Aoki said he had such a great time he could have kept wrestling Sabre non-stop until the next morning. Sabre likes the idea but then remembered Brookes is in the main event so he doesn’t want to take that away from him.
Ever since Konosuke Takeshita was added into the Danshoku Dieno Vs Daisuke Sasaki match, Sasaki has taken things more seriously. He understands the match is now a big deal with the whole world turning over to them. There are a lot of restrictions surrounding the match., mainly those focusing on preventing full nudity from taking place. Dieno is still determined to go beyond full nudity and take things further than when he wrestled Sasaki completely naked eight years ago. Takeshita does not want to experience anything like that. He brought up the date 8th January, 2007. It was when he had his first kiss stolen by Dieno when he attended a DDT show as a fan. He’s still angry about it! Another date he remembers is 29th May, 2016. It was when he beat Sasaki to win his first KO-D Title. He has fought Sasaki in many big matches throughout DDT’s history and each one made him stronger, turning him into the monster he is today. Sasaki never invited Takeshita to join DAMNATION but he unintentionally created a Frankenstein monster that’s been left to its own devices!
The challengers for the KO-D Tag Team Titles didn’t come to the event to pay respect to the champions. Instead Hideki Okatani sat around chewing gum while Ilusion rested his feet onto the table. Takeshi Masada did the same to show he wouldn’t be intimidated by the DAMNATION T.A pair. Ilusion then mocked paleyouth by pretending he couldn’t remember who the champions are because Yuya Koroku is so unmemorable. Koroku came up with a mature response, thinking that acting like an adult would put the young Ilusion back in his place even if it meant he was being “bland and safe.” Masada then gave the reminder that he and Koroku are the champions going into Sumo Hall next week. paleyouth was formed because the members did not want to be seen as duds when compared to the DNA generation of wrestlers. However Ilusion hates being labelled as being part of D GENERATIONS with paleyouth and wants the name to be dropped.
The stipulation for the DDT Extreme Title match was revealed by Shunma Katsumata. He brought out a red rope that will be used for the Scarlet Friendship match. It will work in a similar way to a Chain Death Match where Katsumata and Ueno will be thethered together by their wrists with the rope. Much like how a red string is often used to symbolise a deep connection between people, the red rope represents the strong bond Katsumata has with Ueno. His idea didn’t impress Ueno to the point where Ueno started asking Hisaya Imabayashi if something else could be done for the match. Katsumata decided to use a bonus rules where “Sentiments” can get added to the rope. Every time there is a kickout or rope break, one piece of “Love” that weighs 1kg will be placed on a wrestler. This keeps going until a wrestler reaches 20kg of added weight and the match is won by either pinfall, submission or knockout. The crowd didn’t get the rules but Ueno was much happier with the idea and accepted the stipulation. The idea might end up backfiring on Katsumata because he hadn’t realised the extra weight could immobilise him until a reporter brought up that possibility to him. If that wasn’t worrying enough, Ueno decided to strangle Katsumata with the rope during the photo session afterwards.
During the press conference To-y brought out a roulette wheel to determine the name of his tag team with Kaisei Takechi. To-y still thinks his original idea of T2K2 should be picked but the spin ended up landing on Papico no Punch. To-y explained that he is Papico and Takechi is the Punch.

The wonderful world of Muscle is back for a new generation. Super Sasadango Machine’s story based spin off brand holds an unusual role in developing many of DDT’s past talents so the time has come for it to return with a revamp and help mould the wrestlers from D GENERATIONS into something more. The comeback show hit a pretty major setback at the last minute. Kaisei Takechi was meant to be the headline star and leading role for the show but he felt unwell and had to pull out on short notice. A decision was made to cast Kazuki Hirata as Takechi’s replacement and he took the role literally by turning into “Kaisei Takechi”. Also Rukiya couldn’t be at the show due to his current injuries.
The story begins with a pre-show meeting held by Sasadango and Hisaya Imabayashi for the D GENERATIONS roster. Things did not get off to a good start with Sasadango complaining about Gen Z having short attention spans while Daichi Sato argued that KANON is too old to be considered a D GENERATIONS wrestler. Everybody eventually agreed to memorize their lines only to be told by Imabayashi that there is no script for the show. Instead everyone would have to go through a Championship Training Course that is essential to pass in order to win the KO-D Openweight Title. Normally this is a semester that lasts several months but because Gen Z doesn’t have the attention span for that, it will instead be a two hour long session to be held in front of everybody in the ring.
The course is open to wrestlers with eight years of experience or less and is divided into three classes: the Idol Wrestler Course, the Villainous Wrestler Course and the Mysterious Wrestler Course. The group were then introduced to the director of the Japan Championship Research Institute, former KO-D Champion, Meiko Satomura! She told the class that the most important thing is to determine whether or not they possess the strong spirit of a champion.
First up was the Idol Wrestler Course titled “iDooool”. The wrestlers assigned to this class were KANON, Takeshi Masada, Hinata Kasai and… Ilusion? The masked heel complained to Satomura about being here and threatened her with a beer bottle. Satomura quickly changed his mind by grabbing the bottle and smashing it to pieces with a single punch! The wrestlers were made to spar in the ring before getting advice from Satomura. She told KANON he moves too much for a wrestlers of his size and told Ilusion that he lacks social skills. She then said she wants Masada & Kasai to both become idol wrestlers who can sing and dance. They can become the Reiwa equivalent of the Crush Gals so she has named them the Explosive Boys!
Next up was the Villainous Wrestler Course called “Heeeeel!!” and it was made up of six wrestlers. “Takechi” was sent here along with Yuya Koroku, Kazuma Sumi, Yuki Ishida, Daichi Sato and Masami Inahata. The instructor for this course was Yuki “BADASS” Ueno, the never seen before heel alter ego of DDT’s current ace! He taught the students that being evil is the correct thing to do and presented them a list of all the WWE wrestlers who turned heel before becoming champions. The sparring session was a three versus three bout where only foul play was permitted. During the match, Hideki Okatani suddenly showed up and started attacking people with his bamboo stick. He and “Takechi” then joined forces to attack Ueno, who decided to end the session right there.
Last but not least, class was now in session for “Mystery”, the Mysterious Wrestler Course. The three remaining students are Viento Levante, Yuni wearing his old El Unicorn outfit and To-y with his face painted up as The Great Koji. To everyone’s surprise El Desperado from New Japan is in charge of this class! He explained that masks and face paint are not only used to conceal identities but to create new ones as well. One by one the students revealed their personas. To-y tried to explain The Great Nita as an original idea but Despy didn’t believe him. Yuni said he has wrestled for ten years which surprised Despy because he didn’t know that already. Levante talked about how he is about to undergo surgery in his right knee. He vows to come back and become the KO-D Champion.
The sparring session went ahead as a 3 Way Match. Yuni and Levante spent most of the time fighting each other while To-y tried to charge up a Poison Mist attack. Suddenly all of the heels from the Villainous Wrestler Course ran into the ring and attacked everybody! Ueno said this was Run In Training and all part of his course. Now it was time for Mask Removal Training! The heels unmasked Yuni and almost did the same until Desperado tried to stop them. The heels then ganged up on him when Satomura stormed into the ring to scare everyone away.
Ueno started to mock Satomura, telling her she never made it to the top of WWE because she never turned heel! He then instructed “Takechi” to get on the stage and invited Satomura over in a sultry manner so they could do something “bad” together. Satomura couldn’t help but be drawn towards “Takechi” but it was a trap! Okatani emerged from the shadows to attack Satomura with the bamboo stick. Satomura saw it coming and blocked him but she left herself vulnerable to a deadly hand chop by “Takechi” that somehow blew up Satomura into pieces! Ueno then proposed a challenge to the other two classes. If their students can beat the heels one by one, they will be given back different pieces of Satomura so she could be put back together. If they fail then her home promotion Sendai Girls would collapse without her leadership!
The first match between Yuni and Yuki Ishida was for Satomura’s torso. Ishida used the heel tactics he learned to try and unmask Yuni and attack him with a chair. But the chair attack missed and bounced back into Ishida. Yuni got a nearfall with the Messiah DDT then got the win with the Phoenix Splash.
Yuya Koroku & Masami Inahata in Match #2 cheated by throwing powder and swinging baseball bats. To-y was now in full Great Koji mode while Ilusion tried his best babyface behavior by giving the thumbs up instead of the middle fingers. He even made the decision not to use a baseball bat when given the chance. To-y blinded Inahata with Poison Mist and did a Combined Thrust Kick with Ilusion to win back Satomura’s arms.
The next limb up for grabs was Satomura’s right leg. The mentors were now getting directly involved with Desperado teaming up with Levante while Ueno joined forces with Kazuma Sumi. The heels again tried to unmask their opponents but the fighting went on until the final minute. With time almost running out, Levante was able to lure Sumi into taking a punch from Desperado. Levante then rolled up Sumi to continue the winning streak against the heels.
Things then went pear shaped in the match after that. KANON fought Daichi Sato to a time limit draw. Sato used some Eye Rakes to slow down KANON but KANON hit back with several Lariats. Sadly the time expired before he could finish Sato off. That meant the Idol & Mystery Alliance were unable to claim back a vital part of Meiko Satomura, the shoulder pads from her suit jacket… Yes they are necessary!
The challenge had been failed but Imabayashi begged the Villainous Wrestler Course to put everything on the line for the final battle. Ueno hesitated to agree but he was convinced when the Explosive Boys performed a brand new song called “”&”GENERATION” in front of him. Ueno said the song reminded him of something from the past and he accepted the final challenge. Every piece of Meiko Satomura would be on the line in the main event!
The Explosive Boys now had to fight Okatani & “Takechi” but Kasai never anticipated what would happen to him. Late in the match, Okatani handed his bamboo stick to Masada and ordered him to attack Kasai with it. Masada refused and saved Kasai from a beating. The two hugged until Okatani suddenly gave Masada a signal that brainwashed him into turning on Kasai with a Low Blow! Okatani then handed over Satomura’s shoulder pads to Masada and it gave him the ability to use the Scorpio Rising on Kasai (I told you they were necessary). Okatani then gave a Vertical Drop Brainbuster before pinning him with one foot along with “Takechi” and Masada.
When the match was over, “Takechi” & Masada started bragging about all of the money they were about to make when they win every championship from every company and unify them all. However the heels unknowingly placed all of Satomura’s body parts together in a pile and accidentally resurrected her back to one piece! She wasn’t angry over what just happened. In fact this whole ordeal was a practical exam to graduate from the course! She cleared up the ring so the graduation ceremony could begin.
The ceremony began with each class announcing their top student. They were Kasai for the Idol Wrestler Class, Levante for the Villainous Wrestler Course and Masada for the Villainous Wrestler Course (because of his heel turn). Satomura then announced the reward for these three was a KO-D Title shot! The champion MAO is already at the show to do an autograph session and was watching from the balcony. He agreed to put the title on the line against the three top students in a Survival 4 Way Match right away! At this point the show was reaching its scheduled end time but Akito promised to take full responsibility for the show breaking its curfew.
The match began and was every man for himself. It was elimination rules so the KO-D Title would go to the last man standing. Kasai was first to go after Masada pinned him with his finisher. He gave Levante a Low Blow and tried to eliminate him when MAO stopped it and pinned Masada with a Bridging Gedo Clutch instead. Levante was left fighting from beneath due to his injured knee being targeted. He kicked out of the Michinoku Driver II but MAO then followed up with the Iai Kick. Levante couldn’t get back up after that and the match ended by ruling of Knockout.
With another successful defence under his belt, MAO didn’t stay in the ring for long because he had his autograph session to get to. Sasadango gathered everyone else together to close out the show. He praised everyone for giving the audience the ultimate Muscle experience today. They were really running for time at this point so Levante, Masada and Ilusion led everyone in a “Muscle, Muscle and Muscle” chant to finish the event.

DDT “FACE FINAL ~GOODBYE TO SHINJUKU FACE! WITH GRATITUDE FOR 21 YEARS! THIS IS OUR SHINJUKU DRAMATIC DREAM!~”, 27/09/2026
Shinjuku FACE
1. Jun Akiyama Vs Masami Inahata
2. Special Tag Match: Daichi Sato & Kazuma Sumi Vs Yuki Ishida & Kumadori
3. Soma Takao & Gota Ihashi’s Final Match For DDT: Soma Takao, Kazuki Hirata & Akito (w/ Gota Ihashi) Vs Sanshiro Takagi, Ken Ohka & Naomi Yoshimura
4. DDT Extreme Title – Shura Besieged On All Sides -Battlefield Of Bloody Combat-: Shunma Katsumata (c) Vs Ryota Nakatsu
5. KO-D Tag Team Titles: Shinya Aoki & Junta Miyawaki (c) Vs Takeshi Masada & Yuya Koroku
6. CASPA Presents Falls Count Anywhere Survival 4 Way 8-Man Tag Match ~FACE FINAL~: MAO, KANON, Yukio Naya & Viento Levante (w/ KIMIHIRO & YUZUKI) Vs Daisuke Sasaki, Hideki Okatani, MJ Paul & Ilusion Vs Chris Brookes, HARASHIMA, Antonio Honda & Hinata Kasai Vs Yuki Ueno, Danshoku Dieno, To-y & Yuni
Later this weekend is DDT’s turn to say goodbye to Shinjuku FACE. Their big send off is a massive 4 Way Unit Falls Count Anywhere match with no time limit. Last team left standing wins!
On short notice Shinya Aoki & Junta Miyawaki have given paleyouth a shot at the KO-D Tag Team Titles. However Aoki has already gotten into Yuya Koroku’s head by calling him fat and needing to get in shape for the match. The mind game might knock Koroku from the same page he’s on with Takeshi Masada.
The DDT Extreme Title match will be a Lumberjack match between Shunma Katsumata and Ryota Nakatsu. It has been explained that the lumberjacks are permitted to attack a wrestler thrown out of the ring but they are prohibited from getting into the ring or directly interfering in the match.
Another wrestler is saying goodbye to DDT at the same time Soma Takao will be. Gota Ihashi’s contract with the promotion is ending this month and he has decided it is time to take a different path with his life. He still intends to wrestle and ensures everyone this is not a retirement. Since this news is kind of last minute, he’s been thrown into Takao’s match as a second for that team rather than a participating wrestler.
On the injury front, Viento Levante is going to take some time off soon to get ACL surgery on his right knee. He will finish off the rest of his bookings for this month and appear at the MUSCLE show on 1st October but after that he is on the shelf. He said he recently felt something wrong with his knee and after consulting with his doctor he agreed it would be better to get surgery on it instead of continue to wrestle. That way he can come back in perfect condition for the long run.
DDT “NANIWA PRO WRESTLING ROAD 2026”, 04/10/2026

6. Falls Count Anywhere 8-Man Tag Match: Yuki Ueno, Shunma Katsumata, To-y & Kaisei Takechi Vs Junta Miyawaki, Sanshiro Takagi, HARASHIMA & Akito
The next big step for Kaisei Takechi’s pro wrestling career is to take part in a Falls Count Anywhere match. He’s in there with some reliable people when it comes to that kind of wrestling.
The Beer Garden is a world where you can create the idea that Yuki Ishida is the salty veteran and Danshoku Dieno is the naive little rookie.
The rest of the DDT Variety Team are trying to make Toru Owashi remember why he’s in charge of the group, whether he wants to be or not.
DDT “WRESTLING HARVEST 2026 ~AUTUMN PRO WRESTLING HARVEST FESTIVAL~”, 18/10/2026
Tokyo Korakuen Hall
1. KO-D 6-Man Tag Team Titles: Daisuke Sasaki, Hideki Okatani & Ilusion (c) Vs Shunma Katsumata, Kazuma Sumi & Yuni
2. DDT Universal Title: Ryusuke Taguchi (c) Vs Akito
There is a New Japan show taking place the day before this where Ryusuke Taguchi will be defending the DDT Universal Title against Dick Togo. The two have been building up a feud with each other on the latest tour and Taguchi’s been wanting to have a title defence in his home promotion. Given that his previous challengers have been disciples of Togo, Taguchi thinks it makes all the sense in the world for Togo to be the next opponent. Whoever wins that match must come to DDT the next day for a title defence against Akito.
DAMNATION T.A have the KO-D 6-Man Tag Team Titles in their grasp again but they expect DDT will find an excuse to take it away from them. They had to vacate the belts during their last reign when KANON was kicked out of the group. Daisuke Sasaki thinks they should skip over everything and vacate the belts but Ilusion wants the team to beat up some idols first. DAMNATION T.A aren’t going to miss the chance to crush NωA Jr. while it’s available to them.
DDT “ULTIMATE PARTY 2026”, 03/11/2026
Tokyo Ryogoku Kokugikan
1. Special Single Match: Jun Kasai Vs Hinata Kasai
2. Special Tag Match: To-y & Kaisei Takechi Vs KANON & Kumadori
3. Dramatic Dream Match: Zack Sabre Jr. Vs Shinya Aoki
4. KO-D Openweight Title: MAO (c) Vs Chris Brookes
There are two people in the world MAO wants to headline Sumo Hall with to show that DDT has moved past its dark times. The first is Yuki Ueno and that’s now happened twice. The other is Chris Brookes which is why MAO is defending the KO-D Openweight Title against him this November. Is the idea here to do a match you would see in the small room of Baka Gaijin + Friends in front of DDT’s biggest audience at a major venue?

*V4 for MAO. Ilusion cashes in his Right To Challenge Anytime, Anywhere Gauntlet.
The KO-D Openweight Title situation is now changing to the point that wherever MAO goes, chaos ends up following him. For the second time in his reign he has now defended the title twice in back to back matches thanks to shenanigans involving the Right To Challenge Anytime, Anywhere Gauntlets. Today’s main event started off with MAO putting the belt on the line against Fuminori Abe. The match called back to a bout they had two years ago when a kick to the gut led to Abe throwing up in his mouth a little. There was a risk of it happening again today but Abe was able to prevent himself from repeating his embarrassing moment. The playful actions between the two turned more competitive as the match went on, turning to a tit-for-tat game of one-upmanship. MAO was one step ahead of Abe for the finish, countering the Manjigatame and setting up a series of back and forth cradle pins that ended with MAO using a bridging version of the Gedo Clutch to win the match.
Then things started to get crazy. Sanshiro Takagi walked out after the match promising to avenge Abe’s defeat by cashing in his Right To Challenge Gauntlet on MAO just like he did at Sumo Hall last month. However, Ilsuion then showed up carrying the Right To Challenge Anytime, Anywhere, Anytime, Anywhere Gauntlet he won earlier in the night (and also created in the very first place) and he declared he was cashing it in on Takagi’s Gauntlet! A match between Takagi and Ilusion began right away and the two tried to out-Stunner each other. Ilusion caught Takagi with an Enzuigiri afterward and grabbed him into the Chinga Tu Madre! cradle for a three count out of nowhere. So now Ilusion holds the last remaining Gauntlet for a KO-D Title shot. Ilusion told MAO he is too tired from the match he just had to cash in and he still has the rest of the month to use his prize so he’s going to make MAO wait for their title match…
Just kidding! Ilusion suddenly gave MAO a Low Blow and decided he was cashing in his title show right away! A bonus KO-D Title match then began with Ilusion trying to roll up MAO for a quick win while other wrestlers from DAMNATION T.A removed one of the turnbuckle pads. MAO hit the exposed buckle but was able to dodge the Swanton Bomb. Ilusion used another Low Blow and got to do the Chinga Tu Madre! again but MAO kicked out of it. DAMNATION T.A interfered further until Yukio Naya, KANON & KIMIHIRO showed up to fight them off, leaving MAO to knock down Ilusion with a Palm Strike and then pin him with the Cannonball 450°. When that was over MAO talked about the chaos that’s happening in DDT right now before turning his thoughts over to Abe. MAO wants to keep fighting Abe as his ideal rival even when they both grow old because they get to discover how deep the world of pro wrestling can go.
The KO-D Title picture is now completely cleared out after today. All of the Right To Challenge Gauntlets have been used up and a No. 1 Contender has not emerged while the dust is still settling. Hisaya Imabayashi asked MAO to nominated his next challenger for the Sumo Hall show on 3rd November. MAO said he had already faced Yuki Ueno in the main event of Ryogoku but there is one other person he wants to share that experience with. It’s Chris Brookes! He is the person MAO keeps coming back to because Brookes chose DDT and stayed with them at a time when all of his friends in the UK chose other companies. MAO wants himself, Ueno and Brookes to be part of this moment where it feels like DDT has finally overcome its tough times. He doesn’t mind if the match gets so crazy it ends in a Double Count Out as long as the match is with Brookes. They have been setting ARENA Shimokitazawa on fire with Baka Gaijin + Friends so now they will do the same to Sumo Hall!
Ryusuke Taguchi was putting more than just the DDT Universal Title on the line when he fought Antonio Honda. He was also fighting for his son’s admiration! Ryusuke’s son Shisho Taguchi is currently a musician and became acquainted with Honda after seeing his band Daisetz live. Honda taunted Ryusuke by making it his goal to win the Universal Title and use it to pose for a picture with Shisho, something that Shisho has never done with his father throughout his life! Shisho was in attendance for the match and Honda couldn’t resist to get him involved. He held Ryusuke for Shisho to chop him but Shisho couldn’t bring himself to attack his own dad. However when Ryusuke reversed the position with Honda, Shisho also couldn’t bring himself to hit his friend! Ryusuke brought the match back to the ring where he worked over Honda’s knee. Honda used the powers of Gongitsune and Hiroyoshi Tenzan to fight back but Taguchi would keep the match in his control and submit Honda with the Ankle Lock. The match got a happy ending backstage when Ryusuke, Shisho and Honda all took a picture together with the Universal Title belt.
The Universal Title is also going to take a trip over to New Japan soon. Taguchi asked Akito after the match if he could defend the belt over there because he is feuding with Dick Togo on the current tour. Taguchi pointed out that he has already defended the title against Daisuke Sasaki and Antonio Honda so it would be a great story if his next defence would be against their mentor Togo. Akito said plans were already being made for a title defence to happen at DDT’s next Korakuen Hall show on 18th October but he will allow Taguchi to defend it in NJPW before then. After the show had ended it was confirmed that Taguchi will put the title on the line against Togo at New Japan’s 17th October show in Hokkaido. Then the winner will come back to DDT on the 18th for a title match against Akito! Taguchi promised to give it his all and return to DDT with the Universal Title, but he also admitted he may only give Togo 50% effort so he apologizes to everyone in DDT in advance should he end up losing the belt to Togo. He also promised to continue pitching Kazuma Sumi to be his tag partner for the upcoming Super Jr. Tag League.
You can see why Ilusion had a plan in place for today. He’s been collecting so many championship belts lately that he could have ended the day with the cherry on top that is the KO-D Title. Instead he just has to live with winning the KO-D 6-Man Tag Team Titles with DAMNATION T.A again. He continues his masked man rivalry with Viento Levante and had MJ Paul to pull out the referee just when it looked like the match would be lost to Strange Love Connection. More cheating happened with Daisuke Sasaki & Hideki Okatani attacking KANON & Yukio Naya with chairs and bamboo sticks. Levante finally got his hands on Ilusion and tried to choke him out with a Sleeper Hold but Ilusion escaped and trapped Levante in the Chinga Tu Madre! to pin him and win the titles. Ilusion added insult to injury after the match by telling Levante it doesn’t matter if he changes his name and goes to Mexico, he is still the same small fry he always was.
DAMNATION T.A then announced they will not be taking on all comers for the KO-D 6-Man Tag Titles. Instead they will decide who they will defend the belts against. However, NωA Jr. entered the ring to make their argument towards getting a title shot. Sumi said now is a crucial moment for the trio because they are all back together now. Shunma Katasumata has returned from injury while Yuni had finished his college entrance exams. The three of them now want to show everyone a view that only they can create as the champions. Ilusion said he might accept the challenge if NωA Jr. approach him backstage and beg on their knees for the match. Hisaya Imabayashi ignored him and confirmed NωA Jr. will get a title shot on 27th September. Backstage Sasaki predicted DDT are going to strip DAMNATION T.A of the titles again like last time so they may as well vacate them before it happens. Ilusion wants the group’s top priority to be them crushing the wannabe idols first and then they can vacate the belts.
Has Mr. IWGP now become Mr. Iron Man? Yuji Nagata was the special guest for a match celebrating the 34th Anniversary of Jun Akiyama’s debut. Nagata and Akiyama bought made their debuts in 1992 and have been generational counterparts divided by separate companies ever since. Akiyama got to start off the match with HARASHIMA and that meant Nagata was paired off with Danshoku Dieno. That meant Nagata would inevitably get a face full of Dieno’s Hell Gate but that just awakened the demon inside him! Nagata threw Dieno over with an Exploder Suplex and then pulled HARASHIMA into the Nagata Lock II. Akiyama meanwhile applied the Front Neck Lock onto Dieno, who rather than tap out decided to pull down his tights instead. Yukinori Matsui called off the match to avoid the incident from getting worse and declared that Akiyama had won the Iron Man Heavymetalweight Title from Dieno. But while Akiyama celebrated with his title, Nagata rolled him up for a pinfall and won the belt off him! Akiyama later tried to win it back off him backstage but couldn’t pull it off. Now the question is does this count as a New Japan wrestler taking away the Iron Man Title or is it a Super Japan wrestler that did it?
With MMA now seemingly behind him, Shinya Aoki can put more of his focus on being a menace in the pro wrestling ring. He quickly showed off his skill in the 3 Way Tag by grabbing both Brookes and Yuki Ishida in a Double Manjigatame style hold at the same time. Junta Miyawaki carried over the momentum by cutting off a double team from Hinata Kasai and Masami Inahata. Aoki also ruined the rubber band spot and threw the thing away. He paid for that when Ishida got to use the spot against him. Miyawaki found himself alone against the two other teams but the action broke down to the point where Aoki could take out a bunch of wrestlers with a Topé Suicida, leaving Miyawaki alone with Kasai in the ring. Kasai didn’t have what it takes to take Miyawaki down and the match ended with him getting pinned with the Sunshine Suplex.
The KO-D Tag Team Champions were then confronted by paleyouth after the match. Both Takeshi Masada & Yuya Koroku claimed they have been starving ever since they lost the KO-D 6-Man Tag Titles. Aoki disagreed and pointed to Koroku, calling him fat. Masada said Aoki is wrong because Aoki is super skinny compared to everyone else. paleyouth then asked for a title shot and got what they wanted. Miyawaki was complimentary to Masada because they are both the same age but Aoki continued to call Koroku fat and advised him to slim down before the match takes place on 27th September. Koroku promised to get himself shredded but he doesn’t appreciate having to do it on a week’s notice.
Soma Takao’s farewell tour of DDT continues with a singles match against Kazuki Hirata happening today. He was on pace to beat Hirata in quick fashion but when he held him upside down for the Gin And Tonic, Hirata pleaded to be let go because he had something important to say. When Hirata was freed he took out a heartfelt letter he wrote about the memories he made with Takao. He is sad that their time together is ending so before Takao goes, Hirata wanted to dance with him one more time. Takao wasn’t really interested in doing that but Hirata forcefully put the Hirata GO! glasses onto his face and he couldn’t help but get into the mood when the music played. They danced together and then continued to wrestle, ending in short order when Takao pinned Hirata with the Gin And Tonic.
Before Akiyama’s 34th Anniversary match happened, there was Daichi Sato’s 5th Anniversary to celebrate first. The teenage heavyweight was on the winning side with the rest of paleyouth as they defeated The 37KAMIINA in the opener. To-y got a mouthful of Masada’s fingers once again and was double teamed by different combinations of paleyouth until Masada & Koroku finished him off.
Two of the NωA Jr. had a tune up tag match on the pre-show. Kazuma Sumi and Yuni were on opposite sides of a tag match with Naomi Yoshimura and Tomomitsu Matsunaga also involved. Matsunaga was put off by Sumi’s speed and threatened to use a fan in the front row as a human shield to stop Sumi from doing a dive out of the ring. Yuni did not use such outside the box thinking tactics and was pinned by Sumi who used the School Boy as a counter for Yuni’s own cradle attempts.

Mainly 12 years ago when Sasadango originally created the Vertical Drop Lehman Shock as the finisher that was guaranteed to beat HARASHIMA for the KO-D Title… if he was able to hit it three times in their match. His plan didn’t work back then.

It was a match held under normal rules and Watase was able to beat Kasai to remain as champion. His next challenger has already been determined. Yumehito Imanari is turning 41 years old at this show and demanded he face the champion here so he can win the title on his birthday!
The regional battles waging within Ganbare☆Pro are continuing with the Toyama wrestlers now attracting the attention of wrestlers associated with the Naka Ward in Yokohama. Shuichiro Katsumura has drafted in Minoru Fujita to help him out and has another person on the way over to fight Ohka’s team of Toyama boys.

Aino was half-responsible for ending Daydream’s first reign as champs at the very first “WRESTLE PRINCESS” back in 2020. Can she do it again with Kazashiro this time or will Miu Watanabe & Rika Tatsumi prevent history from repeating itself.
The participants for the 3 Way Tag Match will be revealed soon, maybe even by the time I post this update.
Yeah, that’s a random 6-Person Tag Match they’ve added in there.

6. Special 6-Man Tag Match: MAO, KANON & Viento Levante (w/ KIMIHIRO) Vs Yuki Ueno, To-y & Kaisei Takechi
Next weekend MAO is going home to Miyagi as the KO-D Openweight Champion for the first time! It feels like he’s made that promise several times over the years and now he finally gets to do it. Kaisei Takechi being in the match too might help draw more attention to the main event.
It’s been a while since The Apex had a tag team match without the rest of Strange Love Connection involved. Yuki Iino has a busy NOAH schedule coming up but he and Yukio Naya would be a good KO-D Tag Team Titles defence for Junta Miyawaki to try and achieve with Shinya Aoki somewhere down the line.

6. Special Tag Match: MAO & Yuki Iino Vs Fuminori Abe & HARASHIMA
The next DDT match for Kumadori is here so it should also turn into a chaotic scramble for the Iron Man Heavymetalweight Title with all those people in the ring.
Takechi and paleyouth are going to be dealing with each other a lot more with both parties being involved in the revival of Muscle happening later this year.

7. Yuki Ueno 10th Anniversary Match ~ Special Single Match: Yuki Ueno Vs Shunma Katsumata
There are going to be two DDT shows happening at Korakuen Hall in September. The first is Yuki Ueno’s anniversary show. He’s added a Tag Team Rumble with a lot of mixed up teams in there. Also he figured the best place to put a crazy Falls Count Anywhere match between Minoru Suzuki, Sanshiro Takagi, Chris Brookes, Kuroshio TOKYO Japan and Takeshi Masada is in the pre-show. What is this, an AEW PPV?
DDT “DRAMATIC INFINITY 2026 ~AUTUMN OF PRO WRESTLING~”, 21/09/2026
Tokyo Korakuen Hall
1. KO-D 6-Man Tag Team Titles: KANON, Yukio Naya & Viento Levante (c) (w/ KIMIHIRO & YUZUKI) Vs Daisuke Sasaki, Hideki Okatani & Ilusion
2. DDT Universal Title: Ryusuke Taguchi (c) Vs Antonio Honda
3. KO-D Openweight Title: MAO (c) Vs Fuminori Abe
MAO is quick to use his KO-D Title reign as something he can settle past grudges with. He has noticed Fuminori Abe has been hanging around the DDT undercard for the last few weeks and he has unfinished business with him. Two years ago MAO and Abe feuded over the DDT Universal Title where the buildup revolved around Abe getting kicked so hard during a match that it made him throw up a little. There’s no worry about that happening again but Abe does consider MAO to be a rival among his generation, one that he must defeat!
The story between Ryusuke Taguchi and Antonio Honda is a little more personal. Taguchi’s son is a fan of Honda’s band so Honda promised to win the Universal Title and pose for a picture with the son! That doesn’t bother Taguchi too much because his son was never interested in taking a picture with his dad holding any of the championships he’s won in the past.

Earlier this month Ryota Nakatsu beat Shunma Katsumata at BASARA’s Korakuen show. The rematch is going down at DDT’s final show to be held in Shinjuku FACE. Katsumata is also putting the DDT Extreme Title on the line to motivate him into finally surpassing his DNA rival.
TOKYO JOSHI PRO “WRESTLE PRINCESS VII”, 03/10/2026
Tokyo EBARA WAVE Arena Ota
1. 3 Way Tag Match: Raku & X Vs Pom Harajuku & X Vs Mahiro Kiryu & X
2. VENYU Finale: Yuki Kamifuku & VENY Vs X & X
3. Princess Tag Team Titles: Miu Watanabe & Rika Tatsumi (c) Vs Winners Of 05/09 Decision Match
4. Princess Of Princess Title: Yuki Arai (c) Vs Suzume
Mystery partners are being teased for a 3 Way Tag Match that’s been added to the show. Normally for a big show like this we would get Raku teaming with Ram Kaichow as wife and husband again, Pom Harajuku hanging out with Max The Impaler under the team name Pompaler and Mahiro Kiryu getting into lookalike shenanigans with Kakeru Sekiguchi. Surely it’s not going to be that predictable here, right?

*V2 for MAO.
Tomorrow could have been a wonderful 18th birthday for Daichi Sato if he had won today’s main event and become the youngest KO-D Openweight Champion in history. MAO had to nearly tear the ring apart to stop that from happening. When Sato kicked out of the Michinoku Driver and the Palm Strike, MAO took things a few steps further by pulling back the ring mat and removing the canvas so most of the boards were left exposed. The idea backfired and almost cost MAO the match when Sato gave him the Avalanche Fire Thunder onto the boards. MAO’s saving grace came when Sato decided to climb back up top to do the Mad Splash. It was blocked by MAO’s knees, opening up his chance to make a comeback. After a strike exchange MAO hit Sato with the Iai Kick followed by a Brainbuster onto the boards. He was then able to finish him off with the Cannonball 450° after all of that.
After the match MAO admitted he won using childish tactics but he lived up to his promise to give Sato a Summer vacation he would never forget. But since Sato is still in high school, he has some homework to finish. MAO told him to grow bigger and fight him again because Sato’s homework is to one day beat MAO no matter how long it takes him! Hisaya Imabayashi got into the ring to ask MAO who he wants to defend the KO-D Title against at Korkauen Hall on 21st September? MAO said there is one annoying person who has been hanging around DDT since last month’s Sumo Hall show and he wants to fight him again. Fuminori Abe walked down to the ring asking if MAO is talking about him? As someone who survives as a wrestler on the indies, Abe sees it as his goal to take down MAO. They have history with each other over the DDT Universal Title and now it will be reignited over the KO-D Championship!
The dance of DDT isn’t ending for Ryusuke Taguchi anytime soon. He remains the DDT Universal Champion after beating Daisuke Sasaki in a rematch that was 14 years in the making. Taguchi and Sasaki last had a singles match against each other in the 2012 Best Of The Super Jr. tournament. Plus they also had a match in the same tournament a year prior. Sasaki relied in MJ Paul & Ilusion to interfere early then tried to win by countout by hitting the Super Diving Elbow while Taguchi was seated in the front row. Taguchi made it back to the ring in time and used his wrestling knowledge to counter the Crossface Lock into the Angle Lock. Sasaki fought to reach for the ropes until Taguchi pulled him back and Elbow Dropped the back of his leg before applying another Ankle Hold. This time Sasaki couldn’t do anything about it and tapped out. Sasaki is now zero for four against Taguchi in singles matches but he unusually showed respect to him after the match by giving him a fist bump. Backstage he said he would even like to form a team with Taguchi so they can destroy DDT together!
Taguchi met with Akito after the match to learn who the next Universal Title challenger is going to be. It’s Antonio Honda and it turns out he’s closer to Taguchi than most people realise. Taguchi’s son is a student at the Tokyo College of Music and is also a fan of Honda’s band Daisetz, enough to become acquainted with Honda. According to Honda, when he beats Taguchi for the Universal Title he is going to take a picture of himself holding the belt with Taguchi’s son! Taguchi doesn’t appear to feel any insult over that because he already knows his son would rather pose for a picture with Honda instead of his father. But if Honda has a son then Taguchi will go take a picture with him for free if he wins on 21st September. This match is important enough for Taguchi to skip the New Japan show taking place in Hokkaido on the same day! Honda left the ring when the challenge was confirmed and Taguchi performed his dance with Kazuma Sumi to wind up his appearance for the show.
It looks like Shinya Aoki & Junta Miyawaki will be able to keep their promise to bring the KO-D Tag Team Titles to RIZIN next month. First they had to deal with Danshoku Dieno’s wrestling while Kazuki Hirata fought in a way that was more fired up than usual. Dieno’s Lip Locks did their damage to both champions and he felt the way to finish things was to go full Hell Gate leaning over the top rope. Aoki ended up going face first in there, incapacitating him. Hirata tried to capitalized by putting Miyawaki in the Miracle One Shot Cradle but Miyawaki kicked out of it and immediately countered with the Sunshine Clutch to pin Hirata while Dieno was too preoccupied to stop the three count. Now when Aoki fights Mikuru Asakura at RIZIN on 10th September, Miyawaki can carry the belts down to the ring for Aoki’s entrance!
Two championships were on the line when Shunma Katsumata fought Kumadori. Since one of the belts Katsumata held going into the match was the DDT Extreme Title that meant he could pick the match stipulation too. He chose a No Repeat Rule that prohibited wrestlers from using the same move twice (excluding strikes). Doing so would disqualify the wrestler and they also could lose by being knocked over the top rope out of the ring. Kumadori scored nearfalls with a Top Rope Frankensteiner and also the Air Double Helio. Katsumata kicked out of them and later found himself in a quandary when Kumadori kicked out of the Totonou Splash. He figured it out by using a German Suplex to win the match and retain his championship.
After the match Katsumata told Kumadori he’s been a part of DDT ever since he started wrestling so he is no longer considered as just a guest around here. Katsumata is certain he will be fighting with and against Kumadori more often in the future. He is looking forward to it and welcomes Kumadori as a member of the promotion. Kumadori shook his hand but then suddenly kicked him below the belt and pinned him with an Inside Cradle to win the Iron Man Heavymetalweight Title, the other belt that was on the line in the match that just happened! He ran off, leaving Katsumata to quickly change the subject towards his next Extreme Title defence. He wants a rematch with the BASARA wrestler Ryota Nakatsu, feeling the need to surpass his former rival from DNA. BASARA later responded to DDT telling them Nakatsu accepted the challenge. The match will happen at DDT’s final Shinjuku FACE show taking place on 27th September.
There is less than a month left to go for the remaining Right To Challenge Gauntlets to be cashed in. Chris Brookes still has the standard red Gauntlet in his posession but Honda lost the purple Anytime Anywhere Anytime Anywhere on this show to its original creator Ilusion. That happened during the 3 Way Trios match between Strange Love Connection, DAMNATION T.A and FANTÔMES DRAMATIC. MJ Paul fought off KANON while Hideki Okatani hit the Claymore on Yukio Naya. After that Hinata Kasai see-sawed off the ropes to throw a punch at Okatani then got a High Kick to the head from Viento Levante. Honda suffered a Shining Gongitsune misfire but still had his wits about to cradle Ilusion for a nearfall. Ilusion kicked out though and used a Cravate style elevated cradle to pin Honda and win the match. After the match Ilusion bragged about being the holder of all the KO-D 10-Man Tag Team Titles, the Sasadango Title belt and now the Right To Challenge AAAA Gauntlet. He warned the holder of the other Gauntlet that he is going to cash in whenever he wants and then on 21st September he’ll use that Gauntlet he wins to take some other loser’s championship! Meanwhile Okatani said SLC have made the KO-D 6-Man Tag Team Titles worthless and they should be thankful that DAMNATION T.A are challenging them for those belts.
Abe got all the preparation he needed to set up his KO-D Title challenge by teaming up with Jun Akiyama earlier on the card. His trusty Snap Punch hit the target that is Yuki Ueno’s face but giving a Penalty Kick to To-y made his opponent go wild and slap anybody who got close to him. Abe cut off the unusual comeback with a Knuckle Punch and had Akiyama nearby to give To-y a Running Knee Strike to halt any momentum To-y was building up. Abe then tangled To-y up in the Manjigatama and pulled him down to the mat to stretch him into submission.
A bunch of DDT veterans walked down memory lane as four members of Smile Squash reunited in the opening match. Soma Takao will be leaving DDT soon so this could be the last time he gets to team with HARASHIMA, Akito & Yasu Urano all at the same time. They fought at a disadvantage from the get go when the other team launched the first attack. Akito fought off Sumi while HARASHIMA went blow to blow with Takeshi Masada. Later Yuya Koroku led his team to all gang up on Takao with Masami Inahata giving him a Tilt-O-Whirl Slam for a nearfall. All of Smile Squash then came in to attack Inahata one after another ending with a Running Elbow Butt from Takao for a two count. After that Inahata was pretty much done and Takao finished him off with the Gin And Tonic. Backstage Akito told Takao that DDT will give him the best possible send-off that the promotion can offer him when he leaves in October. Takao appreciates it and joked he could still show up in DDT on his own as a freelancer after he leaves.
The pre-show match had Tomomitsu Matsunaga perhaps revealing a bit too much about where his priorities lie when he exclaimed jealousy towards Yuni for becoming a college student because he now gets to hang out with college girls. Yuni also assisted Yuki Ishida in trying to take down Naomi Yoshimura but in the end, Yoshimura threw down Ishida with the Harai-goshi to get the win for his team.
In the middle of the show Sanshiro Takagi came down to the ring and invited Super Sasadango Machine to come join him. He brought up that it’s been four years since the Muscle sub-brand ended. Sasadango’s project was key in developing DDT’s wrestlers into what they are today and the time has come for it to come back for the sake of improving D GENERATIONS as well as Kaisei Takechi. Sasadango understood and agreed to do a Muscle kind of show again as soon as DDT can set one up for him. It turns out they found an available date for Korakuen Hall open for 1st October so they can go book that. Imabayashi went into a panic thinking it would be impossible to pull off but Akito and Sasadango both think this next revival of Muscle can be successfully pulled off with only one month of notice.

4. Crocodile Death Match Final Chapter: MAO, Yuki Iino, Yukio Naya & Viento Levante (w/ KIMIHIRO & YUZUKI) defeated Crocodile D Sasa, Hideki Okatani, MJ Paul & Ilusion when MAO pinned Ilusion with the Michinoku Driver II into the Bucket (9:40).
5. KING OF DRUNK 2026 ~August Basho~: Yuki Ueno & Chris Brookes defeated Kazuki Hirata & Hinata Kasai when Ueno pinned Hirata after a Lariat from Hinata (16:18).
6. KING OF “Non-Alcoholic” DRUNK 2026: Danshoku Dieno Vs Takeshi Masada Vs Daichi Sato Vs Yuni ended in a No Contest (10:51).
6a. Emergency Match: Yuki Ueno, Chris Brookes, Kazuki Hirata & Hinata Kasai defeated Danshoku Dieno, Takeshi Masada, Daichi Sato & Yuni when Brookes pinned Dieno with a Piledriver in the Pool (7:56).
*Chris Brookes wins Danshoku Dieno’s Right To Challenge Anytime Anywhere Gauntlet.
DDT’s attempt at integrating the sober wrestlers into their Beer Garden show hit a bit of a setback. The KING OF “Non-Alcoholic” DRUNK match was put in the main event where the participants drank cola instead of beer whenever music was played. It was done this way because Daichi Sato and Yuni are not old enough to drink yet while Danshoku Dieno and Takeshi Masada had their own reasons not to spend the day drinking booze. The problem with this is everyone drank so much cola that they all felt too bloated to continue wrestling. All of the drunk wrestlers from the match before then entered the ring and got into an arguement, leading to an impromptu 8-Man Tag Match taking place between the beer drinkers and the cola drinkers.
During the match everyone forced each other to drink bottles of cola while they wrestled. The fighting moved out of the ring where Chris Brookes gave Dieno a cola filled Lip Lock before Piledriving him into a paddle pool full of water for the victory. Brookes has now won the Right To Challenge Anytime Anywhere Gauntlet but he was too drunk to figure out what to do. He knows MAO will be defending the KO-D Openweight Title against Sato soon but thinks Sato will win and then he can cash in the title shot on him. Something to also keep in mind is that Antonio Honda won the Right To Challenge Anytime Anywhere Anytime Anywhere Gauntlet from KANON earlier in the show. Both Gauntlets are active until 27th September.
The Crocodile Death Match again brought back bad memories for Daisuke Sasaki. There was a crocodile sighting that happened at Shakujii Park in Nerima back in 1993 and the incident seems to have scarred him for life. He couldn’t sleep last night and was too sleep deprived to wrestle so he was replaced in the match by Crocodile D Sasa. However as the match progressed Sasa was eventually stripped out of his costume and was revealed to be Daisuke Sasaki all along!
Junta Miyawaki was all business for his match because he is getting ready to defend the KO-D Tag Team Titles soon. After his match he sent a message out to Rukiya, telling him to get better so they can have their title match together as originally planned. He isn’t going to take his new opponents Dieno or Kazuki Hirata lightly because he is well aware of how important they both are to DDT. If they get serious then Miyawaki knows he and Shinya Aoki will not be getting an easy defence.
The show opening Rock ‘N’ Roll Death Match ended up with Shunma Katsumata and Kazuma Sumi doing some light Danshoku Dieno spots with To-y. Katsumata gave him a Lip Lock so Sumi could roll him over into a Gaydo Clutch for the pin. Then as the team celebrated their win, Katsumata gave Sumi the Lip Lock and then pinned him with the Gaydo Clutch to win the Iron Man Heavymetalweight Title.
There was a KO-D Title match contract signing for MAO and Daichi Sato before any of the matches began. Sato said he is not anxious or scared at all about the match. In fact, his anticipation and excitement grows as every day gets closer to 30th August. He is extremely confident he can beat MAO and become the youngest KO-D Champion ever. MAO wants his title reign to be free spirited so he isn’t going to talk down his challenger just because of his age. While Sato is having his last summer vacation as a high school student, MAO is having his last summer in his 20s so he wants this to be a summer neither will ever forget.

Shunma Katsumata has decided this run as the DDT Extreme Champion will be spent feeling how his challengers take in pro wrestling. Kumadori is first up with the dancer wanting to go as far as he can so he can be seen as something other than a guest wrestler by DDT fans.
There will be a full reunion of Smile Squash to mark Soma Takao’s impending exit from DDT. All four mainstay members will be reunited for the first time since 2017 for an 8-Man Tag Match.
“SHINJUKU FACE COUNTDOWN SERIES ~MEISHIN RUKOTSU~”, 30/09/2026
Shinjuku FACE
1. ~Many Thanks Battle Royal~: X Vs X
2. ~Go to the NEXT~: Ilusion & Homare Vs Shota Kofuji & Masami Inahata
3. ~THE FACE GENERATION~: MAO, Yuki Ueno & Chris Brookes Vs Dragon Kid, Yuma Aoyagi & Kuroshio TOKYO Japan
4. ~W-FACE FINAL~: Aja Kong & Chihiro Hashimoto Vs Mayumi Ozaki & Sareee
The main event has been decided for the very last wrestling show held inside Shinjuku FACE and it is the most fitting one they could have thought of. The main event of the very first show held in the venue 21 years ago was Mayumi Ozaki & Dynamite Kansai against Aja Kong & Manami Toyota. Only Ozaki and Kong are still active out of those four so they are going against each other in another tag match. This time Kong is teaming up with Chihiro Hashimoto from Sendai Girls while Ozaki must fight side by side with Sareee!
You can’t close down Shinjuku FACE if Kuroshio TOKYO Japan never finishes his entrance! Maybe the same goes for if Dragon Kid horizontally grabs onto a ring post and wiggles his body out of reach for the staff to grab him. Can’t rely on Yuma Aoyagi, he won’t do anything about it.
The participants in the Battle Royal will not be revealed until the day of the show. It will be a Royal Rumble style match.
The match order other than the main event will not be decided until the day of the show.
