Matsuno Off Tomorrow’s Show, Princess Cup Semi Finals

August 9, 2025

DDT “SENDAI NEW LEGEND 2025 ~GYUTAN~”, 10/08/2025
Miyagi Yume Messe Miyagi

1. Yukio Naya Vs Tomomitsu Matsunaga
2. 3 Way Match: Danshoku Dieno Vs Akito Vs Kazuki Hirata
3. Special 6-Man Tag Match: Daisuke Sasaki, Hideki Okatani & MJ Paul Vs HARASHIMA, Makoto Oishi & Aero Boy
4. Right To Challenge Anytime, Anywhere 4 Way Match: Ilusion Vs Takeshi Masada Vs Yuya Koroku Vs Kazuma Sumi

6. MAO 10th Anniversary Match Vol. 1 ~ Special Tag Match: MAO & KANON (w/ KIMIHIRO) Vs Yuki Ueno & To-y

Gorgeous Matsuno was showing fever symptoms so as a precaution he will not be wrestling on tomorrow’s show. The Tag Match he was meant to be in will now be a 3 Way Match between Danshoku Dieno, Akito and Kazuki Hirata. Keep in mind that the Right To Challenge Arm Cover currently belonging to Hirata is now active.

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “TOKYO PRINCESS CUP”, 17/08/2025
Osaka Edion Arena #2

1. 12th Tokyo Princess Cup – Semi Final: Shoko Nakajima Vs Miu Watanabe
2. 12th Tokyo Princess Cup – Semi Final: Yuki Arai Vs Arisu Endo

Osaka is the location for the Tokyo Princess Cup semi finals because what do names even mean anymore? On the one side is Shoko Nakajima against Miu Watanabe in a rematch from their highly praised bout from the Texas tour. Nakajima is treating this match like it is the final given who her opponent is. Watanabe sees just how hard Nakajima has been working as a double champion and wants to match that effort to win.

On the other is Yuki Arai versus Arisu Endo. Arai’s advances in the tournament have never gone worse than the year previously so she either remains stuck in semi final tier for the third year in a row or finally makes it to the final. Endo has never beaten Arai but is coming off of eliminating Miyu Yamashita. Except there’s not many people in the tournament’s history who benefitted from knocking Yamashita out. It’s just Yuka Sakazaki in 2017 and Mizuki in 2019 who continued advancing all the way to the finals from there.

Tomorrow begins with the Quarter Finals of the Tokyo Princess Cup and also Ivy Steele’s last match in Japan. I doubt this is the match order. Mizuki against Shoko Nakajima in a champion versus champion bout would surely be the headliner on paper.

Injuries to both Yukio Naya and Yuni have pulled them off this weekend’s matches. One of the changes to the card is now Ilusion looking for revenge on Tomomitsu Matsunaga for pinning him at yesterday’s Beer Garden show.

Tokyo Big Sight HandMade In Japan Fes 2025 Music & Play Area

1. Falls Count Anywhere 3 Way Tag Match: To-y & Takeshi Masada Vs KANON & Yuki Ishida Vs Daichi Sato & Kazuma Sumi

The injuries also changes the Falls Count Anywhere match at HandMade In Japan Fes this Sunday. Pokotan had been pulled out of the match along with Naya and Yuni in order to even the numbers between the three teams. Maybe Pokotan will show up anyway.

DDT “SANKO MANUFACTURING CO., LTD. OME PRESENTS HARASHIMA RETURNS HOME! ~WE’RE HOLDING A SHOW IN OME! WHY? BECAUSE IT’S MY HOMETOWN!~”, 27/07/2025

The expectation is for Naya to have recovered from his neck injury in time to be ready for the KO-D Tag Team Titles match.

Ilusion replaces Yuni as Kazuma Sumi’s opponent. MJ Paul takes Ilusion’s spot in the DAMNATION T.A match.

Other than the main event, the match order has not been determined yet.

Shizuoka Act City Hamamatsu

1. 3 Way Match: Danshoku Dieno Vs Akito Vs Yuya Koroku

3. Special 6-Man Tag Match: Kazusada Higuchi, Yukio Naya & Yuki Ishida Vs Yuki Ueno, To-y & Shinya Aoki

Thankfully for Kazuki Hirata the next time he steps into the ring with Hideki Sekine they will be tag partners, not opponents.

DDT “YOKOHAMERMAID”, 09/08/2025

The first of four Right To Challenge Anytime, Anywhere prizes is on the line. Every one this time around gives the holder a KO-D Openweight Title shot whenever they want on a DDT show. But if they get directly beaten before cashing it they have to transfer the prize over to the wrestler who beat them. Danshoku Dieno, Super Sasadango Machine and Kazuki Hirata will fight for the first prize.

4. Dramatic Dream Tag Match: Zack Sabre Jr. & Kosei Fujita Vs Chris Brookes & Takeshi Masada
5. KO-D Openweight Title: Kazusada Higuchi (c) Vs Jun Akiyama

To-y becoming the first D GENERATIONS wrestler to win the DDT Extreme Title ended up making Yuya Koroku feeling jealous of him. However he still went out to help To-y defend the title against Hikaru Sato. 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.

DDT “WRESTLE PETER PAN 2025 – DAY 2”, 31/08/2025
Tokyo Korakuen Hall

1. DDT Universal Title: Minoru Suzuki (c) Vs MAO
2. KO-D Openweight Title: Kazusada Higuchi (c) Vs Yuki Ueno
3. Dramatic Dream Match: Hiroshi Tanahashi Vs Danshoku Dieno

The winner of Kazusada Higuchi Vs Jun Akiyama on Day 1 will then defend the KO-D Title against Yuki Ueno on Day 2. Ueno won yesterday’s Battle Royal to get this shot. But things could get thrown into chaos because of the potential Right To Challenge cash ins.

DDT “SENDAI NEW LEGEND 2025 ~SASA KAMABOKO~” Results

May 4, 2025

DDT “SENDAI NEW LEGEND 2025 ~SASA KAMABOKO~”, 04/05/2025
Miyagi Yume Messe Miyagi
??? Fans – Unannounced

1. Hideki Okatani defeted Kazuma Sumi with the Vertical Drop Brainbuster (6:43).
2. 3 Way Match: Toru Owashi defeated Danshoku Dieno and Yuni when Owashi pinned Yuni with La Magistral Cradle (7:45).
3. Daisuke Sasaki, MJ Paul & Ilusion defeated Makoto Oishi, Akito & Yukio Naya when Sasaki submitted Oishi with the Crossface Lock (10:36).
4. Special Tag Match: Kazusada Higuchi & Yuya Koroku defeated Jun Akiyama & Kazuki Hirata when Higuchi submitted Hirata with the Claw (10:41).
5. SCHADENFREUDE International Vs The 37KAMIINA!: Yuki Ueno, Shunma Katsumata & To-y defeated Chris Brookes, Antonio Honda & Takeshi Masada when Ueno pinned Honda with a Japanese Leg Roll Clutch (14:41).
6. Special Tag Match: MAO & KANON (w/ KIMIHIRO) defeated HARASHIMA & Daichi Sato when MAO pinned Sato after the Alien Love Call (14:27).

The King Of DDT 2025 is beginning in two days time so this show was the last chance for everyone to get ready for the tournament. KANON felt the need to act as a shield for MAO against the barrage of kicks from HARASHIMA & Daichi Sato. Once he collapsed he was filled with regret he wasn’t able to protect MAO more. But Strange Love Connection rebounded and used their new tag finisher called the Alien Love Call to win. The move is KANON’s Modified Facebuster but with MAO joining in to add more rotation to the victim taking it. After the match MAO told the Miyagi fans he will be back as soon as next week because the Best Of The Super Jr. tour will be stopping by and he’ll be competing on it. He wants DDT fans to come see the show to make his match more of a rivalry against New Japan.

Tension is building up between Yuki Ueno and Antonio Honda for their 1st Round match. During their faceoff in Match #5 Honda gave Ueno the Tenzan Tombstone Driver and tried to pin him with the Japanese Leg Roll Clutch. However Ueno reversed the move and used it to pin Honda instead. Earlier in the match SCHADENFREUDE International brought in a kid from the crowd to take part in their tower spot on To-y. The other members of The 37KAMIINA felt the need to join in too.

For the second day in a row the Strange Love Connection interrupted NωA Jr.’s opening performance and took it over so KIMIHIRO could rap for the audience.

The former KO-D 6-Man Tag Team Champions are getting an immediate rematch. NωA Jr. lost the belts to DAMNATION T.A over the weekend leading to a dilemma for Shunma Katsumata. He wants to win the titles again but this time with Yuki Ueno & To-y in The 37KAMIINA. However Yuni & Kazuma Sumi wanted this rematch to win back the titles with Katsumata under the NωA Jr. unit. DDT decided to go with NωA Jr. over The 37KAMIINA for the next title match.

The Strange Love Connection’s MC KIMIHIRO finally makes his DDT debut on this show.

On yesterday’s DDT show Yuki Ishida got beaten up pretty badly so he has been taken off this weekend’s two shows in order to recover. He is expected to be back in action on the 6th May Korakuen Hall show unless he hasn’t recovered in time.

Now that the American shows are nothing more than a distant memory it’s back to having matches in Japan for everybody.

A special points system will be put in place for the two Akito Vs Kazuki Hirata matches happening this weekend. There is a ten minute time limit for each match. You gets 2 Points for every 3 count pin or submission victory. You also get 1 Point if the opponent gets counted out of the ring for 20 seconds. Wrestlers are deducted 2 points if they are caught cheating or committing a foul. Akito thinks he has too much of an advantage with these rules so he allows Hirata to score 1 Point every time he puts on Hirata GO! Glasses and 5 Points if he can complete his dance during the match. The scores from both matches will be combined and whoever has the higher score is the winner.

DDT “SENDAI NEW LEGEND 2025 ~ZUNDAMOCHI~” Results

February 9, 2025

DDT “SENDAI NEW LEGEND 2025 ~ZUNDAMOCHI~”, 09/02/2025
Miyagi Yume Messe Miyagi
??? Fans – Unannounced

1. HARASHIMA & Keigo Nakamura defeated Soma Takao & Tomomitsu Matsunaga when Nakamura pinned Matsunaga with the Modified Crucifix Pin (9:03).
2. D GENERATIONS CUP 2025 – B Block: Yuni (1) Vs Kazuma Sumi (3) ended in a Time Limit Draw (15:00).
3. KO-D 6-Man Tag Team Titles – 3 Way 6-Man Tag Team Match: Daisuke Sasaki, KANON & MJ Paul (c) defeated Chris Brookes, Masahiro Takanashi & Antonio Honda and Danshoku Dieno, Jun Akiyama & Makoto Oishi when Sasaki pinned Honda after the Freedom Call (11:05).
*V6 for DAMNATION T.A.
4. D GENERATIONS CUP 2025 – A Block: Takeshi Masada (6) defeated Ilusion (2) with the Masada No Chikara KOBU Mukimuki (9:52).
5. D GENERATIONS CUP 2025 – B Block: Yuya Koroku (4) defeated To-y (4) with the Chickenwing Arm Lock (12:16).
6. Special Tag Match: Yuki Ueno & MAO defeated Yuki Iino & Yukio Naya when MAO pinned Naya with the Iai Kick (20:29).

A Block

1. Takeshi Masada (6)
2. Ilusion (2)
-. Keigo Nakamura (2)
-. Yuki Ishida (2)

B Block

1. Yuya Koroku (4)
-. To-y (4)
3. Kazuma Sumi (3)
4. Yuni (1)

MAO successfully protected his home region against the heavyweights thanks to some help from Yuki Ueno. He was in a lot of trouble when Yukio Naya hit him with three Knee Lifts in a row. Luckily for him, Ueno reached out from the apron and grabbed his hand to block Naya from pulling off The World’s Best Back Drop. MAO then hit Naya with a few Whirlwind Kicks before finishing him off with the Iai Kick. He said if the result went the other way then Miyagi would have gotten a new “Burning” ambassador in the form of Yuki Iino instead. MAO thanked the fans for supporting DDT, noting that the amount of tickets sold on the day made DDT add another two rows of seating before the show began. He announced DDT’s next show in Miyagi will take place on 4th May. He would like to go back to his hometown of Osaki City but is waiting to find an opponent even better than Minoru Suzuki to make it an even bigger show.

The block stages have come to an end and we now know the two men heading to the D GENERATIONS CUP final. Last year’s winner To-y has fallen at the last moment, losing to Yuya Koroku. Both wrestlers hit dives on each other and Koroku countered the Kojima Impact into the Chickenwing Arm Lock to make To-y tap out. That means Koroku advances to the final thanks to the head to head rule! This is the second time such a scenario has prevented To-y from reaching the final so he has grown to hate the rule. Koroku said he has lost many kinds of matches to To-y over the last couple of months but today he got his revenge by advancing to the finals at To-y’s expense.

Meeting Koroku in the final on 23rd February is Takeshi Masada who defeated his hated enemy Ilusion. That match featured a ref bump and a lot of cheating from Ilusion but Masada overcame the threat to win. Ilusion is trying to throw dirt on Masada’s win by blaming the the referee. He only lost because of the ref and the entire DDT organisation doesn’t want him to reach the final! Masada said everything is still going just as he calculated, even when the unexpected get in the way. When wants to win the Cup and then go challenge Chris Brookes for the KO-D Openweight Title.

The third DGC match on the show had a slim chance of influencing Block B. If Kazuma Sumi won this match and Ilusion had beaten Masada then there would have been a 3 Way tie that had to be decided with a sudden death 3 Way Match. Instead Sumi fought Yuni to a 15 minute draw, ending whatever chance Sumi had left of reaching the final. Both wrestlers were exhausted by the end of the match and Shunma Katsumata had to check on his fellow NωA Jr. members afterward.

Due to illnesses to both Akito and Yuki Ishida, Match #4 ended up becoming a 3 Way Trios match between DAMNATION T.A, SCHADENFREUDE International and a briefly reunited D.O.A. However hours before the show began, Danshoku Dieno sat himself down in front of the only restroom available for the wrestlers backstage out of protest. He wasn’t going to get back up until the match had the KO-D 6-Man Tag Team Titles on the line. Both Makoto Oishi and Kazuma Sumi ended up joining the protest (Sumi was just because he badly needed to use the restroom) so DDT eventually caved into the demand. DAMNATION T.A ended up winning the 3 Way Match and now have the record for most 6-Man Tag Title defences in a single reign.
