6. KO-D 6-Man Tag Team Titles – Falls Count Anywhere Match: Takeshi Masada, Yuya Koroku & Daichi Sato (c) defeated Chris Brookes, HARASHIMA & Antonio Honda when Sato pinned Honda with a Diving Body Press through a Table (19:41).
*V6 for paleyouth.

There was a contact signing at the start of the show that for the two upcoming title matches going on between FANTÔMES DRAMATIC and paleyouth. However paleyouth were late to the signing which caused Antonio Honda to get angry. He demanded that today’s KO-D 6-Man Tag Team Titles match should now be Falls Count Anywhere. Akito was in charge as the GM today and he agreed to make the change. The two sides brawled all over Shinjuku FACE until Honda was placed onto a table near the counter. Daichi Sato climbed the counter and jumped off it to crush Honda through the table and win the match, meaning paleyouth have now tied the record for most KO-D 6-Man Tag Title defences!

After the match three members from Strange Love Connection appeared and confronted paleyouth. KANON & Yukio Naya stood aside so Viento Levante could challenge the champions for a title match. He said he went to Mexico and doesn’t know if it was worth it. He then came home and worked hard to become as strong and cool as everyone else but doesn’t feel like he has earned the right to make this challenge. But if there is at least one person out there who cheers for him he will work hard for them. paleyouth accepted the challenge because they all understand where Levante is coming from. They will defend their titles against SLC on 11th August with the goal of breaking the defence record at Sumo Hall.

The second of two Right To Challenge Anytime, Anywhere Gauntlets belongs to Masami Inahata after he won the Blindfold Bra 4 Way Match. But since he was still blindfolded when the match ended, Ilusion easily crept into the ring and approached Inahata from behind to put him in a Sleeper Hold. All he did though was give Inahata a warning that he can cash in his Right To Challenge Anytime, Anywhere, Anytime, Anywhere Gauntlet on him whenever he wants.

You better start believing in ghost stories Kaisei Takechi. You’re in one! He took part in the annual multi-man match that turns into a ghost story if it does not end in three minutes. He had to be dragged into the ring by everyone else because he admittedly does not like scary stories. Danshoku Dieno tried to calm him down by telling him he only has to fall down when Hisaya Imabayashi points at him. That doesn’t actually mean he dies. Everyone then encouraged Imabayashi to do his point except he wanted to add a twist to the proceedings. He would only do the point at one person, whoever wins the Battle Royal! The match continued and Takechi ended up becoming the last man standing. Imabayashi began to tell his ghost story called “The Coin Locker” about a person finding an abandoned child at a coin locker. However Imabayashi didn’t expect Takechi to pull out a script and start reciting the story alongside him. Takechi then revealed he took part in this match to get revenge on Imabayashi for his mentor Makoto Oishi because all those years of Imabayashi doing the “It’s you!” point at Oishi made him addicted to the scare! Imabayashi tried to scare him with the point but missed and hit Dieno by accident. Takechi did one of his own but hit Yukinori Matsui. This kept going on until everyone else fainted. Imabayashi and Takechi finally hit each other at the same time but Takechi was the only one to survive it. He slumped into KANON’s arms and told him he was going to sleep for a while. KANON screamed in panic and the room turned into darkness… The lights then came back on and everybody lined up in the ring to bow to the audience.

According to Daisuke Sasaki his tag partner today Mikiya Sasaki is actually his long lost twin brother. That means they are the Super Sasaki Brothers! The brotherly love disappeared late into the match when Daisuke complained about having to wear green while Mikiya got to wear red and blue. They started fighting each other which helped lead them into losing their match against The 37KAMIINA.

After the match Honda came down to the ring to reveal his tag partner against Sasaki & DOUKI at Sumo Hall on 11th August. It’s going to be Tetsuya Endo and he is here right now! Endo couldn’t believe what he is seeing from Sasaki. This isn’t the Daisuke Sasaki he knew from DAMNATION so at Sumo Hall Endo is going to expose Sasaki’s true colours! Sasaki taked back, saying nobody here knows who Endo is because he’s wrestling on a green canvas and couldn’t even win a crappy GHC Championship. Honda then stepped in to explain he chose Endo because it will make the match more exciting. It will also be nostalgic because it will be the first time in a decade that Endo & Honda are teaming up together.

The contract signing with Fandora and paleyouth that was mentioned earlier also involved the KO-D Tag Team Titles match taking place on 26th July. paleyouth were present by the time this contract was signed so no extra stipulation was made for it. Neither HARASHIMA nor Chris Brookes are that worried by their opponents. Brookes even had Honda speak about the match on his behalf. Takeshi Masada spoke about how much winning the KO-D Tag Titles would mean for both himself and Yuya Koroku. The two of them are confident they will become double champions and after today they are halfway towards achieving that goal.

This August Tokyo Joshi Pro will be involved with the Tokyo Idol Festival being held in Odaiba. The idol group NGT48 will be heavily featured in the festival and one of their attractions will be the pro wrestling debut of Reina Seiji! The idol was involved with last year’s “LOVE & PEACE” event in Malaysia and at the time she was approached by Sanshiro Takagi with an offer to give pro wrestling a try. She accepted with the intention of promoting NGT48 to a new audience. Through an interview with Tokyo Sports, Seiji revealed that she has a past connection with Saya Kamitani from Stardom because the two of them both worked on the same AKB project years ago. They caught up with each other last year during the taping of KUNOICHI (the women’s only version of SASUKE/Ninja Warrior). Seiji hasn’t decided on making future plans for wrestling yet. She is only focusing on her first match at the moment.

Well good news for him, the rematch is happening after all.

DDT “CHARISMANIA IV”, 02/07/2026
Shinjuku FACE

1. Fake Brahman Army Vs Mataro Army All-Out Confrontation: Fake Brahman Yuki, Fake Brahman Yuki & Fake Brahman Yuki Vs Trans-Am ★ Hiroshi, Takayuki Ueki & Takeshi Masada (w/ Mataro)
2. Yasu Urano & Sangre Azteca Jr. Vs Naohiro Katsumi & Yunicaras Jr. (w/ Sumicaras)
3. Special Single Match: MJ Paul Vs Ryunosuke Nagai
4. Special Tag Match: Minoru Fujita & Ilusion Vs Ayato Ishida & Gabai Ji-chan
5. DDT Extreme Title: Hideki Okatani (c) Vs Yuko Miyamoto
6. O-40 Title – 3 Way Match: Daisuke Sasaki (c) Vs Shuji Ishikawa Vs Keisuke Ishii

Coming out of the weekend Hideki Okatani is now on a roll as the DDT Extreme Champion. His next defence has Daisuke Sasaki’s stamp of approval included because he is bringing in Yuko Miyamoto to be the challenger on this show.

We previously had a luchador named Yunicaras on these kind of shows but he got unmasked the last time he was here. I bet Yunicaras Jr. is a completely different person. No way would it be Yuni just coming back as another incognito luchador again. That would just ruin Sumicaras’s reputation and be an insult to Sangre Azteca Jr.

The match order outside of the main event has not been decided yet.

DDT “FIGHTING BEER GARDEN 2026 IN SHINJUKU 【FINAL COUNTDOWN 2】”, 16/07/2026
Shinjuku FACE

1. KO-D 6-Man Tag Team Titles: Takeshi Masada, Yuya Koroku & Daichi Sato (c) Vs Chris Brookes, HARASHIMA & Antonio Honda

A tag team title war has broken out between FANTÔMES DRAMATIC and paleyouth. Both sides have championships and they agreed to defend the belts against each other this July. First up is paleyouth defending the KO-D 6-Man Tag Team Titles and they only need one more win to break the record for most defences in a single reign. They have already beaten Fandora back in April but that was when the winless Hinata Kasai was on the challenger team. This time Antonio Honda is taking his place.

DDT “ROCK IN RING 2026 ~ONE HIT KILL~”, 26/07/2026
Tokyo Korakuen Hall

1. KO-D Tag Team Titles: Chris Brookes & HARASHIMA (c) Vs Takeshi Masada & Yuya Koroku

Then a week and a half later it will be Chris Brookes & HARASHIMA putting the KO-D Tag Team Titles on the line against Takeshi Masada & Yuya Koroku. Brookes thinks Masada would be better off teaming with Daichi Sato instead but Masada & Koroku recently debuted their own tag team finisher. This new weapon called The Roar For Tomorrow Created By Me And Yuya might be the extra step needed for paleyouth to dominate the tag division.


DDT “OWARI WARS 2026” Results

June 21, 2026

DDT “S.L.C. VS DHAOS ALL-OUT SHOWDOWN”, 21/06/2026
Aichi Chunichi Hall & Conference
0 Fans

1. 1st Floor: Danshoku Dieno defeated MAO with a Lariat (8:33).
2. Iron Man Heavymetalweight Title – 2nd Floor: Kazuki Hirata (c) defeated Yukio Naya with a One-Winged Angel (7:58).
*V? for Kazuki Hirata.
3. 3rd Floor: KANON defeated Antonio Honda with the Spinning Reverse Anal Gongitsune (7:02).
4. 4th Floor: Yuki Iino defeated Toru Owashi with a Dragonrana (2:15).
5. 5th Floor: Super Sasadango Machine Vs Viento Levante ended in a Time Limit Draw (30:00).

I don’t know what happened here but the group of wrestlers facing Strange Love Connection in the 10-Man Tag Match today had formed their own group called DHAOS. The two sides then had a series of matches before the show that took place all over the building, one match on every floor. None of the matches were filmed but DDT tweeted out the results and some photos but with little context added to them. The joke is a bunch of crazy things happened during these matches inside rooms and hallways that are hardly big enough to fit three people inside them. The series ended in a tie with each team winning twice and the final bout ending in a time limit draw so everyone agreed to use the 10-Man Tag Match happening later as the decider. However there was now an added stipulation of Mask Contra Mask. Whichever team lost meant either Super Sasadango Machine or Viento Levante would have to unmask as punishment!

Also before today’s show, Kazuki Hirata broke into Danshoku Dieno’s locker room in search of Dieno’s wrestling gear. He found the pair of Danshoku Dieno’s Tights that won the Iron Man Heavymetalweight Title yesterday and pinned it in the room to win back the belt. Dieno then caught Hirata trespassing while he was getting out of the shower but Hirata escaped with the belt.

DDT “OWARI WARS 2026”, 21/06/2026
Aichi Chunichi Hall & Conference
??? Fans – Unannounced

3. Jun Akiyama & Rukiya defeated Naomi Yoshimura & Masami Inahata when Rukiya pinned Inahata with the R. Fisherman Buster (6:47).
4. S.L.C. Vs DHAOS All-Out Showdown ~ 6th Floor – Final Showdown: MAO, KANON, Yuki Iino, Yukio Naya & Viento Levante defeated Toru Owashi, Danshoku Dieno, Super Sasadango Machine, Kazuki Hirata & Antonio Honda when Levante pinned Sasadango with the Running Diving Headbutt (8:55).
5. KO-D 6-Man Tag Team Titles: Takeshi Masada, Yuya Koroku & Daichi Sato (c) defeated Daisuke Sasaki, MJ Paul & Ilusion when Masada pinned Ilusion after The Roar For Tomorrow Created By Me And Yuya (13:51).
*V5 for paleyouth.
6. DDT Extreme Title – Hardcore I Quit Match: Hideki Okatani (c) defeated Junta Miyawaki when Miyawaki said “I Quit” (16:20).
*V2 for Hideki Okatani.
7. KO-D Tag Team Titles: Chris Brookes & HARASHIMA (c) defeated Yuki Ueno & To-y when HARASHIMA pinned To-y with the Swan Dive Somato (18:52).
*V2 for FANTÔMES DRAMATIC.

What a false prophet this “Prince Of Nagoya” turned out to be. After spending weeks claiming to be from a future where he won the KO-D Tag Team Titles on today’s show, To-y wasn’t able to live up to his word. He and Yuki Ueno almost had Chris Brookes beaten when they gave him the My MADMAX but HARASHIMA broke up the count. Ueno was there to save To-y by the skin of his teeth when he broke up a pinfall after HARASHIMA hit the Somato. But Brookes made sure Ueno couldn’t do it again and HARASHIMA landed the Swan Dive Somato onto To-y for the successful title defence. There is something nice that To-u got out of the match. Since Brookes is a “Baka Gaijin”, he admitted that whenever he calls To-y an idiot he means it as a compliment. He encourages To-y to keep up with that foolish spirit of his.

HARASHIMA called out for any team to come challenge him and Brookes next. Takeshi Masada & Yuya Koroku from paleyouth answered him and said they are greedy enough to add KO-D Tag Titles to the KO-D 6-Man Tag Team Titles they retained earlier in the show. Brookes suggested that Masada & Daichi Sato are the better pairing but HARASHIMA accepted Koroku’s challenge. Antonio Honda then got into the ring demanding that paleyouth give FANTÔMES DRAMATIC another shot at the KO-D 6-Man Tag Titles to make it a fair deal between the two groups. Sato agreed and Akito as the acting GM for the day got to book both title matches. The KO-D 6-Man Tag Titles match will happen first on 16th July. Then the KO-D Tag Titles match will take place on 26th July.

The pressure and mounting odds got to Junta Miyawaki and he was made to say “I Quit” by Hideki Okatani. It was a Hardcore I Quit Match so the two attacked each other with chairs and keyboards. Miyawaki had to fight off the other members of DAMNATION T.A and was able to put Okatani through a table. Okatani wouldn’t quit though and used an exposed turnbuckle to add more damage to his Skewered Claymore finisher. From there did a chair assisted Diving Foot Stomp onto Miyawaki’s legs, used the loose tag ropes to tie Miyawaki’s hands behind his back and then beat him over and over with table scraps and the bamboo sword until Miyawaki said “You Win” out loud.

After the match Okatani told Miyawaki this is what being extreme is like and it must have been the most exciting day in his life. He will never win the DDT Extreme Title but Okatani respects Miyawaki for being willing to step into the ring with the intention of changing something inside of him. Daisuke Sasaki then grabbed the microphone off Okatani because he had an announcement to make. Okatani will be defending the Extreme Title at “CHARISMANIA IV” on 2nd July and his opponent has already been chosen by Sasaki. It will be Yuko Miyamoto! Okatani suddenly remembered one time when Miyamoto threw him into a pond at Ueno Park so he promises to get revenge on him for that. Sasaki had another announcement to make later backstage. He will be revealing his tag team partner for “WRESTLE PETER PAN 2026” on 28th June.

paleyouth are now just one win away from tying the record for most successful KO-D 6-Man Tag Title defences in a single reign. They all recovered from yesterday’s DAMNATION T.A just to continue getting assaulted by Sasaki, MJ Paul & Ilusion. But when Ilusion decided to wrap the three title belts around him and climb up top to finish the match, Masada dodged the Swanton Bomb and joined forces with Koroku to unveil their new double team finisher called The Roar For Tomorrow Created By Me And Yuya. It is a German Suplex from Koroku that gets extra impact with the Manburi by Masada.

The 10-Man Tag Match was being taken a bit more seriously by SLC and DHAOS now that some masks were being put on the line. Levante successfully protected his by scoring the win over Sasadango. He then unmasked him after the match to reveal Sasadango is Muscle Sakai! The other members of DHAOS all turned on Sakai and banished him from the group as punishment for losing. They then attacked him until SLC chased them all off. After being rescued, Sakai/Sasadango was then offered a part time spot in SLC as a Nagoya only member. So he now gets to team with SLC but only when they have a match held in Nagoya.

Yuki Ishida spoke to DDT cameras at the end of the evening while deconstructing the ring with the rest of the crew. He said that the feeling of wanting to change and the feeling of needing to change are both growing stronger within him. He then kept repeating over and over that he is going to change…


DDT “TROPICAL NANIWAN SUMMER 2026” Results

June 20, 2026

DDT “TROPICAL NANIWAN SUMMER 2026”, 20/06/2026
Osaka Azalea Taisho Hall
??? Fans – Unannounced

1. Yuki Ishida defeated Hinata Kasai with the Flame Palm (9:03).
-. Iron Man Heavymetalweight Title: Danshoku Dieno’s Tights defeated Kazuki Hirata (c) by Pinfall (5:31 pm).
*Danshoku Dieno’s Tights become the 1833rd champion.
2. Yuya Koroku & Daichi Sato defeated Danshoku Dieno & Kazuki Hirata when Koroku pinned Hirata with an Elbow Butt (10:17).
3. Daisuke Sasaki, Hideki Okatani, MJ Paul & Ilusion defeated Akito, Junta Miyawaki, Naomi Yoshimura & Yuni when Okatani pinned Yuni with the Skewered Claymore (11:06).
4. MAO, KANON & Yukio Naya defeated Jun Akiyama, Rukiya & Masami Inahata when KANON pinned Rukiya with the Lariat (13:32).
5. Special Single Match: Takeshi Masada defeated Viento Levante with the Masada No Chikara KOBU Mukimuki (10:28).
6. The 37KAMIINA Vs FANTÔMES DRAMATIC!: Yuki Ueno, Shunma Katsumata & To-y defeated Chris Brookes, HARASHIMA & Antonio Honda when To-y pinned Honda with the Kojima Impact (18:28).

The “Prince Of Nagoya” is one day away from coming home and after today he is feeling pretty good about his chances of winning the KO-D Tag Team Titles tomorrow. He was put in an Octopus Hold by Antonio Honda but Yuki Ueno broke it up with a Shining Wizard. Then the two of them gave Honda the My MADMAX before To-y finished him off with the Kojima Impact. Afterwards To-y talked on the microphone about enjoying these kind of intense matches because he is the strongest. However, Chris Brookes brought him back down to Earth by reminding him that he is the only wrestler in the title match tomorrow who is not already a champion. Ueno cheered To-y up by giving him a prediction for the next East Vs West themed show taking place in Osaka this August. Ueno predicts he and To-y will cross boundaries together and fight for the tag titles on that show! To-y thought about going one further by giving a prediction of his own but stopped himself, deciding to live in the present instead.

All of paleyouth were attacked by DAMNATION T.A after Match #5. Ilusion gave Takeshi Masada a Low Blow while Daisuke Sasaki & MJ Paul attacked everyone with chairs. Ilusion got on the microphone to demand Masada hand the belts over and start his career over as a trainee. He then knocked out Masada with a belt shot to the head. The three paleyouth wrestlers all had to be helped out of the ring after the attack.

The bright and energetic Junta Miyawaki might be met with a cold reality tomorrow. After his match he said he wants to win the DDT Extreme Title from Hideki Okatani because it looks so shiny. Without much emotion Okatani told Miyawaki he is just somebody who does not know when to give up. So for tomorrow’s I Quit match he will not even allow Miyawaki to give up!

The attack on paleyouth was part of an unlucky day for Yuya Koroku. He thought he had won the Iron Man Heavymetalweight Title earlier in the show when he beat Kazuki Hirata in a tag match. Danshoku Dieno was part of the match and he stripped out of his tights during it. Hirata grabbed the tights and tried to smother Koroku with them but Koroku defended himself and knocked down Hirata with an Elbow Strike. He jumped on top for the pin and got the three count but was not rewarded with the championship. Yukinori Matsui noticed the pair of tights was beneath Koroku and on top of Hirata during the pin so he decided it was Danshoku Dieno’s Tights that pinned Hirata and won the Iron Man Title!


DDT “DDT MY LOVE 2026” Results

June 3, 2026

DDT “DDT MY LOVE 2026”, 03/06/2026
Shinjuku FACE
??? Fans – Unannounced

1. Special Tag Match – 2 Out Of 3 Falls: Sanshiro Takagi & Akito (2) defeated Yuki Ueno & Shunma Katsumata (0).
1a. Standard Rules: Sanshiro Takagi (1) pinned Shunma Katsumata (0) with a Cradle (6:30).
1b. Falls Count Anywhere: Sanshiro Takagi (2) pinned Shunma Katsumata (0) with a Cradle (109:19).

3. Junta Miyawaki Three Match Trial – Match 2: Junta Miyawaki defeated Kazuki Hirata with a School Boy (10:56).
4. MAO & Yukio Naya (w/ KIMIHIRO) defeated Jun Akiyama & Tomomitsu Matsunaga when MAO pinned Matsunaga after the Charge Love Heart (9:43).
5. Special Single Match: Shinya Aoki defeated Viento Maligno with a Modified Butterfly Lock (11:25).
6. Special 8-Man Tag Match: Chris Brookes, HARASHIMA, Antonio Honda & Hinata Kasai defeated Daichi Sato, To-y, Yuni & Yuki Ishida when Honda pinned Yuni with a Samson Clutch (19:36).

It turns out there was more background to the Shinya Aoki Vs Viento Maligno match than I first thought. Before the King Of DDT tournament began, Aoki allegedly made a prediction that Maligno would unmask and compete in Best Of The Super Jr. so both of them could have a match between tournament winners. Aoki lived up to his end of the idea which is why after he won King Of DDT he called out Maligno and told him everybody knows what he is doing. They had a match today where Maligno tried to counter the Aoki Clutch but Aoki switched over to a Modified Butterfly Lock to make the luchador give up. He then ripped the mask off Maligno’s face to reveal it was Keigo Nakamura the whole time! Nakamura admitted his real identity and explained that he couldn’t adapt to wrestling in Mexico during his excursion. Even now he does not know who he is and his confidence has disappeared after he saw how all of his juniors have surpassed him. However he still gets support from everybody in Strange Love Connection and he wants to become stronger by being with them. Aoki asked him what will he do from now on and who does he want to fight? Nakamura put the mask back on and will continue to wrestle as Viento Maligno because he’s hit rock bottom has nothing else to lose.

The opening match was officially Sanshiro Takagi’s return to action in DDT (as long as you ignore Super Japan). He feels so reenergised from his time off that he asked for the match to be Best 2 Out Of 3 Falls with no time limit applied. The 37KAMIINA agreed and quickly tried to injure him again. However he blocked Shunma Katsumata’s Totonou Splash and then Cradled him to win the first fall. He then declared the 2nd Fall would be Falls Count Anywhere. For the next two hours Takagi, Akito, Yuki Ueno and Katsumata brawled all over Shinjuku FACE and even outside on the street. Since the action was happening away from ringside, DDT decided to go on with the show and it wasn’t until the very end when the opening match returned to the ring and Takagi pinned Katsumata again to win the match in two straight falls.

Takagi said this comeback could not have been possible if it wasn’t for the other wrestlers in the match and he is feeling super pumped about winning. He’s been cheating on DDT a little bit with Super Japan but he thinks DDT is the best and he is super motivated to wrestle here again. There is one guy in particular he wants to wrestle again to reignite his passion even more. It is MAO, who he hasn’t fought against one on one since 2019 in New York! He challenged MAO to a singles match on 28th June. MAO agreed and blamed Takagi for making him the wrestler he is today. So all of the times he tried to run Takagi over with a car is really Takagi’s fault.

Junta Miyawaki’s trial through DDT’s roster is going well with two wins out of two matches so far. He fought and danced with Kazuki Hirata until Hirata was too spent to continue. Before he could be beaten, Hirata got on the microphone and reminisced about the times back when Miyawaki was a NOAH trainee when they would hang out and eat meals together. He couldn’t continue so he asked Miyawaki to complete the dance by himself but it was only so Hirata could roll him up for a nearfall. Miyawaki countered by putting the Hirata GO! glasses on Hirata’s face, forcing him to dance and be vulnerable to be pinned with a School Boy. Afterwards Miyawaki was informed by Hisaya Imabayashi that the third and final match of his trial will happen on 10th June. It will be against Danshoku Dieno! With that announcement, Dieno entered the ring carrying his pet dog Haku in a protective bag. Miyawaki asked if this is a mistake because Dieno is tougher than any other opponent he could imagine. He promised to give it his all becaue this is a once in a lifetime match for him.

A win in the 3 Way Trios match prompted DAMNATION T.A to challenge paleyouth for the KO-D 6-Man Tag Team Titles afterward. Ilusion said his unit is filled with belt collectors and if they take those titles from paleyouth they would then have 10 belts in their collection (DDT Extreme Title with Hideki Okatani, O-40 Title with Daisuke Sasaki and the group has the KO-D 10-Man Tag Team Titles which currently makes seven). Ilusion said the challenging team will be himself, MJ Paul and Sasaki once he comes back from New Japan. The challenge was accepted and will take place on 21st June in Nagoya. Ilusion later made fun of paleyouth being full of old people because only Daichi Sato is younger than him. Takeshi Masada & Yuya Koroku didn’t appreciate being Ilusion calling them old geezers.

A contract signing for the KO-D Tag Team Titles match between FANTÔMES DRAMATIC and The 37KAMIINA took place at the start of the show. One of the challengers To-y unexpectedly announced he is from the future where he wins the title with Yuki Ueno and builds a castle as the Prince Of Nagoya. Chris Brookes lost his patience and kept rushing To-y to finish up his story so the show could continue. To-y ignored him and tried to get Ueno to play along that they are the champions from the future and it is they who are defending the belts instead of Brookes & HARASHIMA. Both Ueno and HARASHIMA tried to keep things on track but Brookes is clearly becoming fed up with To-y’s quirky personality.

Wakana Uehara will not be at the show due to a scheduling conflict.

DDT “KING OF DDT 2026 FINAL!!”, 31/05/2026
Tokyo Korakuen Hall

1. King Of DDT – Semi Final: Minoru Suzuki Vs Shinya Aoki
2. King Of DDT – Semi Final: MAO Vs Danshoku Dieno
3. King Of DDT – Final: X Vs X

With four wrestlers left in the King Of DDT, only one of them is a previous winner. That’s MAO and his next opponent Danshoku Dieno last made it to the final in 2012, losing to Kenny Omega. The semi final stage is now the furthest that Shinya Aoki has ever progressed to. Minoru Suzuki is one step away from equaling the likes of T-Hawk and Yuji Hino as outsiders who reached the final in their first tournament entry.

DDT “OWARI WARS 2026”, 21/06/2026
Aichi Chunichi Hall & Conference

1. DDT Extreme Title: Hideki Okatani (c) Vs Junta Miyawaki
2. KO-D Tag Team Titles: Chris Brookes & HARASHIMA (c) Vs Yuki Ueno & To-y

The alleged future “Prince Of Nagoya” To-y wants to challenge for the KO-D Tag Team Titles and got the shot when he promised Yuki Ueno would be his tag partner. Chris Brookes is pretty confident that To-y won’t be able to beat him or HARASHIMA for the belts.

As part of Junta Miyawaki’s journey through DDT he wants to try and win the championship that bests represents DDT as a one of a kind company. That means he is going after the DDT Extreme Title. He also now has to prove to Hideki Okatani that he wants to be here and he wasn’t kicked out of NOAH.

5. Kazuma Sumi & Yukio Naya defeated Jun Akiyama & Masami Inahata when Naya submitted Inahata with a Crab Hold (11:40).
6. The 37KAMIINA Vs FANTÔMES DRAMATIC!: Yuki Ueno, Shunma Katsumata & To-y defeated Chris Brookes, HARASHIMA & Antonio Honda when To-y pinned Honda with the Kojima Impact (19:35).

A misstep by Antonio Honda gave The 37KAMIINA the victory in the main event. Honda tried to put To-y in the Octopus Hold but To-y found a counter by lifting Honda up into the Kojima Impact to get the pinfall. To-y was feeling so good about the win that he challenged FANTÔMES DRAMATIC for the KO-D Tag Team Titles afterward! Chris Brookes refused because To-y didn’t beat him or HARASHIMA to earn a shot. However Honda felt that To-y’s recent momentum and attitude is befitting of a pro wrestler and he should come take the belts if he wants them. When To-y said Yuki Ueno is going to be his tag partner, Akito measured the response of the crowd to that idea and agreed to book the match for 21st June in Nagoya. To-y then promised he will win the titles and become the Prince Of Nagoya!

Junta Miyawaki got one over on Hideki Okatani by pinning him in a 6-Man Tag and then challenging him for the DDT Extreme Title. Miyawaki wants the title shot because he thinks the Extreme Title is a one of a kind championship that can only be found in DDT. Okatani responded by asking if Okatani got kicked out of NOAH and that’s why he came to DDT? Okatani denied it and said he came here of his own free will. Okatani was pleased to hear that and said Miyawaki should be grateful that he is getting the title match on 21st June.


DDT “LET’S GO FOR 5 X 1 DDT!” Results

May 1, 2026

DDT “LET’S GO FOR 5 X 1 DDT!” 2026, 01/05/2026
Hokkaido Sapporo Sun Plaza
??? Fans – Unannounced

1. Special Single Match: Hideki Okatani defeated Viento Maligno with the Vertical Drop Brainbuster (8:28).

6. KO-D Tag Team Titles: Chris Brookes & HARASHIMA (c) defeated Daisuke Sasaki & MJ Paul when HARASHIMA pinned Paul with the Swan Dive Somato (15:09).
*V1 for FANTÔMES DRAMATIC.

Daisuke Sasaki returned from his American expedition already getting a title match, teaming up with MJ Paul to challenge FANTÔMES DRAMATIC for the KO-D Tag Team Titles. Paul stepped in to replace the injured Ilusion for the match but this was not an uplifting story of one friend helping out another. DAMNATION T.A were there to cause whatever trouble they could. Sasaki & Paul attacked Chris Brookes & HARASHIMA with chairs while Hideki Okatani found openings to interfere in the match too. However Antonio Honda & Hinata Kasai evened the odds, allowing HARASHIMA to land the Somato on Paul. That by itself wasn’t enough to put the big man down so HARASHIMA jumped off the ropes to do the Swan Dive Somato on Paul to get the victory. Sasaki blamed the loss on his “leader” Ilusion being missing and also from being tired after taking a long flight home from America. He also complained about immediately being given a title shot for his first match back when he couldn’t get prepared for it.

Kumadori is learning how things aren’t always going to go his way in wrestling. He hyped up his first appearance in Sapporo only to be pinned by Shunma Katsumata in a tag match. Katsumata rubbed salt in the wounds a little bit by giving him the NeppaWER!! pose instead of a handshake after the match.

Not sure if I wrote about this before. The reason why Noriyuki Yoshida’s finisher is called the Authorized Lightning Leg Lariat is because he got Kengo Kimura’s permission to use the move.

Just when I thought the card was finished, Yukinori Matsui pulls out a doozy. Konosuke Takeshita is unexpectedly coming back to DDT in May to team up with Yuki Ueno again. Their opponents are two heavyweights that Matsui decided should team together, Jun Akiyama & Shuji Ishikawa! Matsui tends to have “Double Main Events” on his shows and this year will continue that trend.
