5. DDT Extreme Title – Barbed Wire Board Crash Match: Hideki Okatani (c) Vs Yuko Miyamoto ended in a Draw after a Double Barbed Wire Board Crash (14:30).

6. O-40 Title – 3 Way Match: Daisuke Sasaki (c) defeated Shuji Ishikawa and Keisuke Ishii when Sasaki submitted Ishii with La Mistica Crossover Face Lock (14:54).
*V2 for Daisuke Sasaki.

At the age of 40 years old Daisuke Sasaki is having a highlight year of his career. He toured North America, competed at this year’s Best Of The Super Jr. tournament and will be teaming with DOUKI at Sumo Hall in a few months time. But maybe most important of all, Sasaki is taking the O-40 Title to new heights and actually got a title defence to be the main event of his annual “CHARISMANIA” show. His challengers in the 3 Way Match are both very familiar with him either as friends or regular opponents in the past. There were spots when Sasaki would team up with Shuji Ishikawa or Keisuke Ishii to beat up on the other but the match broke down into a free for all. Ishikawa came close to using the Splash Mountain on Sasaki but he rolled out of it and Ishii came in to hit the Kneel Kick. Sasaki then knocked Ishii into the referee so he could Low Blow him without it being seen. The plan worked and Sasaki went on to submit Ishii with La Mistica Crossover Face Lock for the win.

Sasaki was likely in a good mood over the result which would explain why he threw compliments at Ishii after the match. He is surprised that Ishii can still do the crazy moves he used to do in his 20s and 30s and he told Ishii to keep doing them until he reaches his 60s. Sasaki then talked to Ishikawa about them forming the original DAMNATION 10 years ago. The memories made Ishikawa want to sing but Sasaki stopped him so he could change the subject to Shinjuku FACE’s upcoming closure. Sasaki worries with the venue going away there might not be a place left for him to do crazy things. However he will still hang around Kabukicho until he his 105 years old and there will probably be a new Shinjuku FACE established by then. As for the next “CHARISMANIA” show, Sasaki is considering the Nippon Budokan or the Tokyo Dome but he hasn’t made a decision yet.

Hideki Okatani also earned a successful title defence for his DDT Extreme Title match but only just. Sasaki invited Yuko Miyamoto to challenge Okatani for the belt so Okatani decided they would have a Barbed Wire Board Crash match. The reason is because the last time they fought each other in 2023, Miyamoto put Okatani through a table. With revenge on his mind Okatani tried to put Miyamoto through the board. Miyamoto gave him a Power Bomb onto it but it was lying flat on the ring canvas at the time so couldn’t break. The board was then balanced over some chairs and Okatani tried to Dropkick Miyamoto onto it but he backflipped over the board and cleared it instead. With things at a stalemate, both men wrapped strands of barbed wire around their head and Headbutted each other. They then fought up to the aisle where the board was placed below them and they both knocked each other down, crashing through it. The match was ruled a draw which counts as a successful defence for Okatani. He still didn’t beat Miyamoto though. He said three years ago Miyamoto put him through the table and today Okatani defended the Extreme Title against him. So in six years time they will have another rematch so Okatani can finally beat Miyamoto!

Before Okatani could leave the ring, Yuki Ishida charged in screaming about how much he wants to change himself. He’s going to change by challenging for the Extreme Title! Okatani kicked Ishida down and told him he hasn’t changed anything about himself. He also doesn’t have anything to lose. Ishida said he isn’t doing to half-heartedly so to prove it he will put his hair on the line! Okatani remembered Ishida is a former sumo wrestler which means his hair does actually have some value. He accepted the challenge but only to make the match Title Vs Hair. Okatani won’t put his own hair on the line because the Extreme Title by itself is worth about the same as Ishida’s hair.

Ilusion found out the hard way that when you grab hold of Gabai Ji-chan’s walking cane it transfers his age over to you. Ilusion held onto it and became too decrepit to defend himself. Ji-chan then kicked the cane so it flicked in between Ilusion’s legs to make him crotch himself. He couldn’t kick out of the Inside Cradle after that. Ayato Yoshida did not fall for the same fate because he simply kicked Ji-chan’s cane away for heel heat at the start of the match despite being his tag partner. The cane was also used to block Minoru Fujita’s Swanton Bomb.

The real Brahman Brothers were not available to be at the show so a fake band of them appeared instead. The Bramhmans that looked sort of like Yuki Ueno, Yuki Iino & Yuki Ishida caused the same kind of havoc as the originals. They tortured their opponents until Takayuki Ueki pulled out his pistol and demanded to know if they got permission to use the gimmick. Trans-Am ★ Hiroshi then tried using the power of his singing to change them back to normal. The Fake Brahmans fought back and targeted Takeshi Masada until all of a sudden Mataro appeared dressed as Frieza! One by one he attacked his opponents but also took out his allies by accident. More disgusting looking Brahman spots happened and once Yukinoru Matsui got pulled into them, he called off the match and declared it a No Contest.

MJ Paul met his match and suffered an upset defeat at the hands of Ryunosuke Nagai. Paul thought he had things under control and turned his back to climb the ropes for the Reverse Splash. He never expected Nagai would get up and give him a Power Bomb from the corner. Paul tried fighting back and kicked out of one Spear but Nagai finished him off with a second.

The opening match was held under Lucha Libre rules. Yasu Urano & Sangre Azteca Jr. took it upon themselves to be the rudos by trying to rip off the bags masks of Yunicaras Jr. and also Sumicaras. They got the win when Azteca lifted Yunicaras up for the Atlantida submission hold. He did the move running around the ring while Urano made Naohiro Katsumi give up to a Side Headlock.

6. FANTÔMES DRAMATIC Vs DAMNATION T.A!: Daisuke Sasaki, Hideki Okatani, MJ Paul & Ilusion defeated Chris Brookes, HARASHIMA, Antonio Honda & Hinata Kasai when Sasaki submitted Kasai with the Crossface Lock (10:24).
7. KO-D Openweight Title: Yuki Ueno (c) defeated Shinya Aoki with the Sleeper Hold (21:48).
*V8 for Yuki Ueno.

There was no repeat from what happened back in 2024. This time Yuki Ueno was able to put Shinya Aoki away and remain the KO-D Openweight Champion. It was a complete swap of results from two years ago as this time Ueno was able to make Aoki submit instead of the other way around. He had to go that direction because Aoki avoided the WR and used the Aoki Clutch to try and win. Ueno kicked out of the move and got to use his finisher except Aoki still had enough movement left in him to avoid getting pinned. Ueno had to instead stick Aoki in a grounded Sleeper Hold and make him tap out to finally win. After the match Ueno thanked Aoki for becoming part of the DDT family and said how much he respects him from the bottom of his heart.

There is still some time to go until “WRESTLE PETER PAN 2026” takes place in Sumo Hall on 11th August. It’s enough time for a surprise title defence or two to happen before then but Ueno was given the nod by Hisaya Imabayashi to choose his Ryogoku challenger. Ueno brought up his goal to bring DDT to the Tokyo Dome and in order to do that he feels he must come up with a match that can sell out Sumo Hall first. The opponent he wants to fight in front of a packed Sumo Hall is MAO! This will also be a title rematch from 2024 in the same building. MAO calls himself a realist because he wonders if he can really make it to the Tokyo Dome. He thinks he can because he has become stronger that he was two years ago and is carrying none of the burdans from back then. He accepts the challenge to determine who will win between DDT’s Prince and DDT’s square shaped devil!

The 8-Man Tag between FANTÔMES DRAMATIC and DAMNATION T.A was a little preview for the mystery tag match at Sumo Hall that Daisuke Sasaki and Antonio Honda are both involved with. It was also an opportunity for Hinata Kasai to earn his first win. His partners helped out by weakening Sasaki using Chris Brookes’s Penalty Kick, HARASHIMA’s Swan Dive Body Press and Honda’s Fist Drop. Kasai then applied the STF for the finish but Sasaki got out of it by biting Kasai’s hand. After that MJ Paul hit Kasai with a chairshot from ringside and Hideki Okatani followed it up with the Claymore Kick. Ilusion wiped out the other Fandora wrestlers with a Trust Fall dive out of the ring while Sasaki made Kasai give up to the Crossface Lock.

Sasaki then had an announcement to make after the match. Both he and Honda need to find their own tag partners for their Sumo Hall match. Sasaki revealed he has found a suitable partner and played a video of him recruiting DOUKI from New Japan! The addition of the House Of Torture wrestler had Honda beginning to worry about the match. He told Sasaki when it will be time for him to reveal his tag partner, Sasaki’s going to act like it is an unfair choice too. Backstage Sasaki said he’s known DOUKI going back to before he was even DOUKI. Sasaki also recently just came back from Thailand where he claimed to have learned Muay Thai during his stay so he thinks he will take Honda down in seconds.

No referee? No problem! It was up to the audience to count the pinfall during the grudge match between MAO and Sanshiro Takagi. Not even the most stringent wrestling official could get in the way of MAO and Takagi’s crazy ideas for the match. Takagi made his entrance through the Korakuen Hall seating only to get run over by MAO riding the Dramatic Dream bike. He then crashed a scooter into Takagi along with a cart with KIMIHIRO sitting on it at ringside. Takagi fought back by bringing a toilet into the ring so he could DDT MAO into it. The fans were aided with on-screen instructions to count either fast or slow much to the wrestlers’ chagrin. The fan count would only register when it was determined the majority of them reached to three. MAO then played mind games by showing video footage of him running over Takagi in different vehicles over the past six years. The trauma effected Takagi so much that when MAO pulled out a small remote control van it caused Takagi more mental damage. Takagi was able to fight back using Stunners but the crowd only made it to a collective 2.9 before MAO kicked out. MAO got his own nearfall using the Michinoku Driver II so he placed a plastic box on top of his opponent and hit the Cannonball 450 through it for the three count. He then added insult to injury by driving the toy van into Takagi’s beaten body. With this win, MAO now considers himself to be Takagi’s successor so he encourages everyone else to DDT to become as crazy as he is and carry the weight of DDT with pride!

Kazuma Sumi came back from his eye injury with something in particular being stuck in his mind. But first he had a 6-Man Tag Match against paleyouth to get through. He got to show he didn’t lose a step in his brief absence by going toe to toe with Takeshi Masada. His partners Yuni & Kumadori pulled off some big dives late in the match. But when it came down to Yuni, he became overwhelmed by Yuya Koroku and then Daichi Sato who put him away with a Rolling Elbow.

After the match Sumi talked about how frustrating it was he had to miss the recent DDT Vs New Japan show due to his injury. He was annoyed in particular by seeing the NJPW young lion Tatsuya Matsumoto beat Hinata Kasai. Sumi can’t stand seeing DDT lose to NJPW like this so he made a demand to defend his DDT Universal Title against a wrestler from New Japan. Suddenly the lights in the room went out and when they switched back on, Ryusuke Taguchi was standing right behind Sumi! Akito was there too in his CyberFight Director form to announce he just so happened to have already booked Taguchi for Sumo Hall so Sumi can give him a title shot on that show. Sumi said it is a dream for him to reach the top of the Junior Heavyweight scene and asked Taguchi if he could be his stepping stone? Taguchi responded that Kota Ibushi and Kenny Omega have used him as such to help them spread their wings to the world so he will do his best to do the same for Sumi. However after they shook hands, Taguchi suddenly hit Sumi with the Hip Attack and warned him to be careful otherwise he will be used as a stepping stone by somebody else!

By wrestling back and forth between DDT and NOAH recently, Yuki Iino is developing a balancing act between his DDT form and his Jonetsu MAX form. The Iino that wrestled today isn’t quite the same persona as the one that just won the GHC Tag Team Titles. Still, he and KANON worked as a well oiled duo in order to beat Shunma Katsumata & To-y. Iino even pulled off his cap at the end to show everyone his Jonetsu double mohawk before pinning To-y with a Lariat.

With Strange Love Connection getting the victory, KIMIHRIO did a rap for Iino to reintroduce him to the fans. Iino didn’t quite get what he was doing while Katsumata also felt provoked by it. He felt so provoked that he suddenly started a rap battle against KIMIHIRO in the ring! Katsumata quickly realised the mistake he made and said he gave up. But as Katsumata left the ring, Yukinori Matsui took the Iron Man Heavymetalweight Title from him and handed it over to KIMIHIRO because KIMIHIRO just technically beat the champion by submission! Katsumata tried to take the belt back but the rest of SLC were there to stop him and make sure KIMIHIRO would leave the show as the new champ.

Rules had to be changed for Match #2 thanks to Kazuki Hirata. He ended up fighting the other team all on his own and quickly lost the match before Minoru Suzuki or Danshoku Dieno could even make their entrance. Imabayashi decided to restart the match with the added rule that Hirata could only lose the match if he gets beaten three times. Jun Akiyama immediately pinned Hirata before Dieno made it to the ring. Masami Inahata then made Hirata tap out before Suzuki’s music even hit. Inahata almost did it again but Suzuki got there in time to physically stop Hirata from tapping out. The match went on as normal from there. Except the normality went away when Rukiya rubbed his hands against Dieno’s bare backside and then grabbed Hirata in a Camel Clutch to make him give up and lose the match for good.

Today was Soma Takao’s first match since January. He’s been on the shelf since then dealing with an old knee injury and used his comeback to show off a new ring costume to go along with his trusty Dropkick Bar shirt. Yuki Ishida also had something new to show with a slightly changed hairstyle but nobody really noticed his attempt at changing himself into something new. He still played his part at keeping Naomi Yoshimura away so Yukio Naya could play spoiler and end Takao’s comeback match with a loss. Takao said he was happy to be in the ring with other members of the Dropkick Bar and also wrestle in front of the newer DDT fans who may never seen any of his matches before.

DDT welcomed back Miles Karu for another appearance during his excursion to Japan. He brought along his MYPW Southeast Asia Title to the ring for his pre-show match teaming with Akito. Does this mean Junta Miyawaki can now lay claim for a title shot because he & Viento Levante won the match when Miyawaki pinned Karu with the Sunshine Driver.

Another special guest from another wrestling promotion will appear at “WRESTLE PETER PAN 2026” this August. YAMATO from Dragon Gate attended the show so he could step into the DDT ring for the first time (not counting the “DRAMATIC DREAM GATE” joint show from 2012). He was relieved to find out the DDT fans know who he is and he wants to be given a suitable opponent comparable to his stature as a wrestler who built an era in his own company. Guess what? His opponent is going to be Danshoku Dieno. YAMATO argued the match is happening ten years too late because nobody wants to see two old men like them getting it on. The DDT fans disagree and started chanting for the match to happen. YAMATO reluctantly accepted the challenge but warned Dieno his Danshoku tactics won’t work on him.

Even though the KO-D Title match is now set for Sumo Hall, it may not be Ueno going into it as champion. The Right To Challenge Anytime, Anywhere Gauntlets are back for another year! There will be only two Gauntlets this time and possessing one will give the holder a KO-D Title shot whenever they want from the period between 15th July to 27th September. The matches to determine the holders will take place at the Beer Garden shows taking place on 15th and 16th July.

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

1. Akito defeated Hinata Kasai with a Scorpion Death Lock (8:49).
2. Special Tag Match: Shunma Katsumata & Kumadori defeated Yuni & Yuki Ishida when Kumadori pinned Yuni with the Spinning Senton (8:05).
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 “THAT’S RIGHT! LET’S GO TO BEER GARDEN PRO WRESTLING 2026” Results

June 17, 2026

DDT “THAT’S RIGHT! LET’S GO TO BEER GARDEN PRO WRESTLING 2026”, 17/06/2026
Tokyo Ueno Park Outdoor Stage
??? Fans – Unannounced

1. Takeshi Masada & Daichi Sato defeated Tomomitsu Matsunaga & Masami Inahata when Masada pinned Inahata with the Manburi (8:15).
2. Yukio Naya & Viento Levante defeated Danshoku Dieno & Antonio Honda when Naya submitted Honda with a Cobra Twist (0:10).
2a. Rematch: Yukio Naya & Viento Levante defeated Danshoku Dieno & Antonio Honda when Naya submitted Honda with a Cobra Twist (7:58).
3. Iron Man Heavymetalweight Title: Kazuki Hirata (c) defeated Yuya Koroku by Submission (6:17).
*V? for Kazuki Hirata.
-. Iron Man Heavymetalweight Title: Yuya Koroku defeated Kazuki Hirata (c) with the Triangle Lancer (6:46 pm).
*Yuya Koroku becomes the 1,828th champion.
4. Irregular Captain Drunk Match: Ilusion (C), Daisuke Sasaki & Hideki Okatani defeated Yuki Ishida, Rukiya & Hinata Kasai (C) when Ilusion pinned Kasai with the Swanton Bomb (10:17).
5. Special Single Match: Junta Miyawaki defeated Shunma Katsumata with the Sunshine Clutch (8:01).
6. Falls Count Anywhere 4 Way Tag Match: Chris Brookes & HARASHIMA defeated Yuki Ueno & To-y, Sanshiro Takagi & Jun Akiyama and MAO & KANON (w/ KIMIHIRO) when HARASHIMA pinned To-y with the Somato (17:51).

For the fourth time in six years MAO has run over his boss Sanshiro Takagi with a van! The first of this week’s Beer Garden shows featured a wild Falls Count Anywhere main event that included Jun Akiyama crashing a bicycle into a castle made of chairs, the above mentioned MAO driving a vehicle into Takagi and To-y falling off the top of a ladder in shock of seeing the car accident. That last bit cost his the match because it let HARASHIMA hit him with the Somato aftwards for the victory.

Takagi got so mad at MAO over what happened that his anger spread over to the officiating. He can no longer trust any of the referees so his match with MAO on 28th June will now become a No Referee Match! MAO was confused as Takagi tried to figure out on the spot what that means. It means it will now be up to the audience to count the pinfalls and determine the winner! MAO loves the idea because he’s not sure if he and Takagi will ever have another singles match after this again. He can now go all out without worrying about any referees trying to stop him, because the fans certainly won’t.

Junta Miyawaki isn’t the only wrestler in DDT who embodies the sunshine. Shunma Katsumata proved it by dressing up like what he imagines a “Sunshine Hero” would look like.

The team captains in Match #4 had to drink an entire beverage every time somebody on their team was caught committing a foul. Hinata Kasai and Ilusion were the two captains but the ever so selfless Yuki Ishida helped Kasai with some of the drinks. MJ Paul meanwhile force fed Kasai a drink to send him to his drunk breaking point. Ilusion was still measured enough to do the Swanton Bomb and then win the match.

Exact phrasing along with the rules being taken literally made Yuya Koroku lose his match. He had Kazuki Hirata trapped in an Arm Bar and spoke on the microphone that he would make Hirata give up. However he made it sound like he was giving up instead, which Yukinori Matsui took literally so Hirata was declared the winner and still the Iron Man Heavymetalweight Title. But since the championship is defended 24/7, Koroku attacked Hirata after the match and made him give up to the Triangle Lancer to become the new champ.

Hisaya Imabayashi pulled his back recently and wasn’t in the best condition to complain about Match #2 ending too quickly. A cure was unexpectedly found when Antonio Honda used Danshoku Dieno’s rear to charge up Gongitsune. The attack then hit Imabayashi right in the point of his injury and made the back pain go away! Now he’s as fit as a fiddle but he was thrown face first into Dieno’s Hell Gate anyway.

6. Miu Watanabe Vs Hyper Misao
7. Yuki Arai & Ren Konatsu Vs Miyu Yamashita & Shion Kanzaki

After passing her first year in pro wrestling, Ren Konatsu is being rewarded with a main event spot teaming up with Yuki Arai! However Shion Kanzaki is only six months into her career though and she’s in the same spot teaming with Miyu Yamashita so who is to say which is the better reward for the respective amount of time in the business.

The two singles matches underneath could end up being previews for a non-existent match down the line. Shoko Nakajima & Hyper Misao don’t have a problem with wrestling Miu Watanabe & Rika Tatsumi under normal circumstances but they’re not so enthusiastic over the reason why the these matches are happening here.

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

1. Special Single Match: MJ Paul Vs Ryunosuke Nagai
2. O-40 Title – 3 Way Match: Daisuke Sasaki (c) Vs Shuji Ishikawa Vs Keisuke Ishii

The further Daisuke Sasaki moves on from Best Of The Super Jr. the better. At least he doesn’t have to think about the tournament again for another 14 years. Now he can think about defending the O-40 Title with two opponents now chosen for the next title bout. Shuji Ishikawa and Keisuke Ishii both fit the bill so Sasaki will be fighting both in a 3 Way Match.

Ryunosuke Nagai is the 29 year old son of Mitsuya Nagai. He his pro debut last December and is showing up to “CHARISMANIA IV” for a match against MJ Paul.

The remaining lineup of the show at the moment is Hideki Okatani, Ilusion, Minoru Fujita, Yasu Urano, Sangre Aztca Jr. and Naohiro Katsumi.

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “SUMMER SUN PRINCESS ’26”, 18/07/2026
Tokyo Korakuen Hall

1. Aja Kong Vs Arisu Endo
2. International Princess Title: Suzume (c) Vs Wakana Uehara
3. Princess Tag Team Titles: Miu Watanabe & Rika Tatsumi (c) Vs Shoko Nakajima & Hyper Misao
4. Princess Of Princess Title: Yuki Arai (c) Vs Miyu Yamashita

We’re approaching the match that will either break the cycle or just start it all over again. Yuki Arai will be next defending the Princess Of Princess Title against Miyu Yamashita. In recent memory Yamashita once beat Arai in just over a minute but Arai then got to make Yamashita tap out in a 6 Way No. 1 Contender’s match that eventually led Arai to becoming the champion. With that said, Arai does not feel like she can call herself the true champion unless she can beat Yamashita one on one. Yamashita is coming into this match having just won the EVE International Title in England. Doing that made her want to win back the Princess Title even more. Is there no end to her insatiable desire for winning that championship again?!?

Last year’s “SUMMER SUN PRINCESS” had Kyoraku Kyomei beating Daydream in a defence of the Princess Tag Team Titles. This time around Daydream are the champs and they want a rematch at the show to avenge that defeat. The only problem is Kyoraku Kyomei do not want to challenge for the belts right now because they do not feel it is the right time to do so. They couldn’t win the titles in Las Vegas earlier this year and they don’t feel ready to climb that mountain again this soon. Daydream wants the match to happen anyway and it looks like they got their way. Protests from Nakajima & Misao may be on the way unless something happens to change their minds.

There’s no such trepidation in regards to the International Princess Title match though. Wakana Uehara is hungry to become the champion and isn’t shy about making puns about her appetite when it comes to challenging Suzume for the championship.

DDT “WRESTLE PETER PAN 2026”, 11/08/2026
Tokyo Ryogoku Kokugikan

1. Hinata Kasai 1st Anniversary Debut Match ~ Special Tag Match: Jun Kasai & Hinata Kasai Vs X & X
2. Iron Man Heavymetalweight Title – Time Delayed Entry Battle Royal: Daichi Sato (c) Vs X
3. Special Tag Match: Daisuke Sasaki & X Vs Antonio Honda & X
4. Dramatic Dream Match: Konosuke Takeshita Vs Kaisei Takechi

It is only a matter of time until Hinata Kasai gets to team up with his dad Jun Kasai. It’s going to happen right when he celebrates the end of his first year as a pro wrestler. In the meantime, Hinata made it his goal to get his first direct win in a match before this show takes place.

DDT “DRAMATIC STYLE 2026” Results

June 10, 2026

DDT “DRAMATIC STYLE 2026”, 10/06/2026

4. 3 Way Tag Match: Yuki Ishida & Rukiya defeated Chris Brookes & Antonio Honda and Naomi Yoshimura & Tomomitsu Matsunaga when Ishida pinned Matsunaga with an Izorikatame (8:45).
5. Special Tag Match: Yuki Ueno & To-y defeated Shinya Aoki & Akito wen Ueno pinned Akito with the WR (15:11).
6. KO-D 10-Man Tag Team Titles: Daisuke Sasaki, Hideki Okatani, MJ Paul, Ilusion & Haruto Sakuraba defeated MAO, KANON, Yuki Iino, Yukio Naya & Viento Levante when Sakuraba pinned Levante with the Jackhammer (20:22).
*V1 for DAMNATION T.A.

It’s been about six months since the KO-D 10-Man Tag Team Titles were last defended. DAMNATION T.A have been missing Demus during that time period but the rules of the championship allow up to two substitutes to allow the title match to still go ahead. The challengers Strange Love Connection welcomed back Yuki Iino, who wrestled wearing a bandana to hide his haircut and showed none of the “PASSION~!” that he’s been developing over in NOAH lately. DAMNATION T.A brought out the big guns for this match, having Haruto Sakuraba come in to take Demus’s place. MAO & Yukio Naya almost had Ilusion beat with their Charge Love Heart double team move but MJ Paul pulled the referee away during the pinfall. Daisuke Sasaki then ran in to hit people with a chair. The newly renamed Viento Levante landed a rope walk Diving Headbutt onto Sakuraba but the pin was stopped with a Brain Claw by “The Monster”. Sakuraba then hit Levante with Lariats before beating him with the Jackhammer.

After the match Sakuraba said he’s been in slumber for almost a year and yet here he is holding a championship belt without lifting a finger (I’m unsure if the rules have been changed to now recognize him as one of the champions). He told the fans to tremble in fear until the next time he wakes up! Backstage Sakuraba said SLC are all defective while DAMNATION T.A is a perfect unit with a charismatic leader. Ilusion then asked when will be the next title defence? It might be in another six months time or at the end of the year again. Who knows?

Yuki Ueno and Shinya Aoki got to sign the contract for their KO-D Openweight Title match before the show began. Ueno always respected Aoki but has grown to love him because Aoki loves pro wrestling and DDT so much. It makes Ueno think the way to beat Aoki is to conquer him with love. Aoki can see Ueno is carrying more weight on his shoulders now compared to their first title match in 2024. He understands the scale of what Ueno is trying to accomplish as champion this time around. After their tag match on today’s show, Ueno told Aoki that wrestling him is so much fun. He’ll be sad when he beats him and the buildup over the title match is over. Aoki said he is going to give Ueno a good beating.

Now that the Iron Man Heavymetalweight Title is back in DDT, it has brought the hot potato title switches back to DDT shows. Kazuki Hirata lost the title to his own partner Shunma Katsumata before the match even began. Kumadori got the two of them to stop arguing in the middle of the match and dance with him instead. During the dance Hirata grabbed Katsumata and pinned him with the Miracle One Shot Cradle to win the belt back. Yuya Koroku then pulled Hirata into an Arm Lock and made him tap out so he now has the title. Hirata is not panicking over what happened because there is plenty of time to win it back before the Sumo Hall show later this summer. He might turn into “Hammer Hirata” again to get the belt back.

Junta Miyawaki’s DDT trial ended in defeat thanks to Danshoku Dieno using the Lip Lock with a Wrist Lock applied rendering Miyawaki unconscious. Dieno gave him another Lip Lock after the match to resuscitate him. He does not know why Miyawaki has come to DDT when he could have just stayed in NOAH and be a proper, respectable pro wrestler. Dieno has been in the business for 25 years and he has learned one thing more than anything else. When you put what you find is fun in life into your wrestling and the fans enjoy it then that is DDT. He then tried to give Miyawaki another Lip Lock but Miyawaki escaped and ran off.

Backstage, Miyawaki talked about his experiences in the trial series. He hates negative people but Antonio Honda, Kazuki Hirata and Danshoku Dieno are all the opposite of those kinds of people. He wants to wrestle them more so he can absorb their warm-hearted feelings. That was shown during the match with Dieno where Miyawaki used some of Honda’s and Hirata’s moves. He also admits he does not know how long he will be sticking around in DDT which is why he is cherishing every match he has here.

During the week DDT announced that Hinata Kasai is going to team up with his dad Jun Kasai for the first time ever at “WRESTLE PETER PAN 2026” on 11th August to celebrate the 1st Anniversary of Hinata’s debut. Although he lost again today, this past week has felt like Christmas and New Year’s all happening at once for him because it’s been so hectic. He thinks he is nowhere near being able to stand with his father in the ring yet. The first thing he needs to do in order to begin closing the gap is to get his first win before that match takes place.

6. FANTÔMES DRAMATIC Vs The 37KAMIINA!: Chris Brookes & HARASHIMA Vs Shunma Katsumata & To-y

This card has some changes made because of Sumi’s injury but Rukiya is expected to return. The main event isn’t affected because it focuses on To-y getting to fight Chris Brookes & HARASHIMA before their KO-D Tag Team Titles match.

GANBARE☆PRO “STENDHAL SYNDROME 2026”, 14/06/2026
Tokyo Takashimadaira Kumin Center

Sumi has been replaced with To-y in the Ring Removal Death Match. That is the main event while the rest of the match order is to be determined.

Aichi Chunichi Hall & Conference

1. KO-D 6-Man Tag Team Titles: Takeshi Masada, Yuya Koroku & Daichi Sato (c) Vs Daisuke Sasaki, MJ Paul & Ilusion
2. DDT Extreme Title: Hideki Okatani (c) Vs Junta Miyawaki
3. KO-D Tag Team Titles: Chris Brookes & HARASHIMA (c) Vs Yuki Ueno & To-y

Has To-y figured out the key to beating Brookes is to annoy the hell out of him? He’s going around calling himself the Prince Of Nagoya who comes from the future where he and Yuki Ueno win the KO-D Tag Titles from Brookes & HARASHIMA. Brookes is quickly getting fed up with his wacky behavior.

There will be a post about Daisuke Sasaki and his Best Of The Super Jr. adventure next week but he is returning to DDT with a losing record in the tournament. However Ilusion has gotten him and MJ Paul a chance to win the KO-D 6-Man Tag Team Titles again so DAMNATION T.A can increase their current collection of championships to ten belts.

DDT “KING OF KINGS ~TENKA TAIRAN~”, 28/06/2026
Tokyo Korakuen Hall

0. Dark Match: Junta Miyawaki & Viento Maligno Vs Akito & Miles Karu
1. The 37KAMIINA Vs STRANGE LOVE CONNECTION!: Shunma Katsumata & To-y Vs KANON & Yuki Iino (w/ KIMIHIRO)
2. FANTÔMES DRAMATIC Vs DAMNATION T.A!: Chris Brookes, HARASHIMA, Antonio Honda & Hinata Kasai Vs Daisuke Sasaki, Hideki Okatani, MJ Paul & Ilusion
3. Soma Takao Comeback Match: Soma Takao & Naomi Yoshimura Vs Yukio Naya & Yuki Ishida
4. Special 6-Man Tag Match: Takeshi Masada, Yuya Koroku & Daichi Sato Vs Kazuma Sumi, Yuni & Kumadori
5. Special 6-Man Tag Match: Minoru Suzuki, Danshoku Dieno & Kazuki Hirata Vs Jun Akiyama, Rukiya & Masami Inahata
6. Special Single Match: Sanshiro Takagi Vs MAO
7. KO-D Openweight Title: Yuki Ueno (c) Vs Shinya Aoki

There is just so much energy coming out of Sanshiro Takagi with his return to the ring and he wants to use it against someone he hasn’t fought in a singles match in a while. The last time Takagi fought MAO one on one was in New York back in 2019 (ignoring the Baka Gaijin + Friends universe where Takagi Sanshirobo fought Tyrannosaurus Inoue).

We have one more Minoru Suzuki appearance to wrap up the King Of DDT arc. Too bad for him he has to go team up with Danshoku Dieno & Kazuki Hirata.

The Dropkick Bar is being well represented for Soma Takao’s comeback match. He along with Naomi Yoshimura, Yukio Naya and Yuki Ishida all work there in one form or another.

BAKA GAIJIN + FRIENDS “VOL. 31: SUSPENDED ANIMATION”, 30/06/2026
Tokyo ARENA Shimokitazawa

1. Special Single Match: Chris Brookes Vs Miles Karu

The Japan excursion continues for Miles Karu with a stop by Baka Gaijin + Friends added to his schedule for the end of the month.

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “SUMMER SUN PRINCESS ’26”, 18/07/2026

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.

DDT “KING OF DDT 2026 FINAL!!” Results

May 31, 2026

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

*V4 for paleyouth.
7. King Of DDT – Final: Shinya Aoki defeated MAO with the Aoki Clutch (17:20).

Shinya Aoki can now add his name to the list of quite frankly eccentric list of names to have won the King Of DDT tournament! His fighting style proved to be the most dominant throughout the bracket and tempted MAO into playing Aoki’s gameplan instead of his own in the final. Aoki then pulled out something different by using a Spinning Headscissors to throw MAO out of the ring so he could follow up with the Topé Suicida. MAO tried rolling up Aoki into cradles like the Japanese Leg Roll and the Crucifix Pin but that backfired big time when Aoki caught him in the Aoki Clutch, getting the three count and crowning himself the tournament winner.

As Aoki was receiving his trophy he started calling out to an unexpected member of Strange Love Connection. Aoki yelled at Viento Maligno to get in the ring and stop his nonsense because everybody knows what he’s doing… Maligno simply made a big “Wooooo” noise into the microphone before rejoining SLC and walking back to the locker room with them. Due to this interaction taking place, DDT later decided to book a singles match between Aoki and Maligno for 3rd June at Shinjuku FACE.

Aoki then declared his challenge to Yuki Ueno for the KO-D Openweight Title. He likes Aoki and said he is like family to him. But the more Aoki likes his opponent, the more power he unleashes on that person so he asked Ueno to be the very best he’ll ever be for the title match. The match is made for 28th June and Aoki promised to live his life to the fullest until then so he can beat Ueno. The champion remembers losing the KO-D Title to Aoki back in 2024 and does not want to repeat that. He is going to give his friend so much in the match that Aoki won’t be able to handle it!

MAO’s place in the semi final was secured when he defeated Danshoku Dieno earlier in the show. Dieno unleashed his full Danshoku power early but MAO expertly countered the attack by Kancho poking him up the backside. MAO then fought fire with fire by using the Lip Lock until Dieno overpowered him with the same move. The Danshoku Claw to the crotch couldn’t hold MAO back forever and he kept fighting even when the back of his tights were pulled down by Dieno for pinning leverage. A number of different strikes from MAO took their toll on Dieno and he was put down with the Iai Kick, bringing his spirited tournament run to an end.

The last time Aoki fought Minoru Suzuki in DDT, the DDT Universal Title was on the line and Suzuku pummeled his opponent into a KO victory. The rematch here was more grapple heavy this time with Suzuki and Aoki trying to bend whatever part of the opponent’s body they could grab onto. Suzuki avoided the Aoki Clutch but that isn’t the only move in Aoki’s arsenal. He switched over to a Modified Armbar that then turned into the European Clutch that kept Suzuki pinned down for the victory!

It was Yuni’s time to step up and do his part to make NωA Jr. the KO-D 6-Man Tag Team Champions again. paleyouth didn’t see things that way because they still have things to do as champions, things that NωA Jr. couldn’t even scratch when they last held the belts. The challengers almost overwhelmed Takeshi Masada with their numbers. He was able to German Suplex Shunma Katsumata away but took a Canadian Destroyer from Kazuma Sumi and then the Messiah DDT from Yuni. Masada brought things to a halt for Yuni by giving him a Middle Kick and planting him with the Masada No Chikara KOBU Mukimuki to retain the titles. After the match Daichi Sato said he was happy to have a tough title match with Yuni because they are near the same age. Yuya Koroku called Yuni a brat but also admitted he has incredible determination. paleyouth then said they are two defences away from tying the record for most KO-D 6-Man Tag Title defences and three more away from breaking it. Backstage Katsumata talked about how Yuni struggles the most out of D GENERATIONS because everyone else has achieved their own thing while he was focused on his university exams. He hopes today will be a turning point for Yuni because he can offer something unique to DDT just like how everyone else has their own thing.

The addition of YUZUKI to SLC hasn’t instantly paid off with success yet. She assisted the team by attacking Antonio Honda with a whip after he got sent outside the ring. Honda deserved it for being rude towards Maligno at the start of the match. He loudly shouted “Who are you?” while fighting him. HARASHIMA and Yukio Naya fought to a stalemate so Honda tagged in. He then tripped and tried to tell a story about his town being filled with kids who ring doorbells in the middle of the night and run away before he can answer them. KANON then blocked the Gongitsune attack and redirected Honda into striking his own partners. Chris Brookes saved Honda from being pinned by throwing a towel at Maligno and ended up pinning Maligno himself by using the Praying Mantis Bomb.

Kaisei Takechi’s big return from appendicitis ended right when it started. Yuki Ueno immediately threw To-y out of the ring and made Kazuki Hirata tap out to a Crab Hold without Takechi needing to do anything. Hisaya Imabayashi blew a gasket because the big star’s return was ruined. Takechi calmed things down by saying everyone in DDT is a star, including Hirata because of his dance skills. Takechi then encouraged everyone to restart the match so Hirata can show why he shouldn’t be giving up so easily. Imabayashi was touched by Takechi’s humility and allowed the match to restart. This time To-y & Hirata both put on a better fight together and Takechi got to dance with Hirata despite Ueno’s hatred of it. Ueno was briefly knocked out by his own partner so the dance could go ahead. Hirata tried to sneak attack Takechi during the dance but paid for it by taking the BREAK IT DOWN and take the losing fall again.

After the match Takechi told the fans he had to miss the King Of DDT tournament due to his illness so he is going to clear his schedule, get into shape and work hard so he will get to take part in it next year. Ueno then announced he will be holding a show at Korakuen Hall on 13th September to celebrate the 10th Anniversary of his debut. He promised to show everyone the DDT he’s been able to cultivate over the last 10 years. Takechi asked to be a part of it so Ueno is thinking about making him team up with Hirata. As for Ueno himself, he later brought up wanting to have a match against Katsumata on the show.

Momentum is looking to be on Junta Miyawaki’s side as he heads toward his DDT Extreme Title challenge against Hidaki Okatani. The heavy threat of MJ Paul was extinguished by Naomi Yoshimura and Miyawaki ducked under a bamboo stick swing, causing Okatani to hit Ilusion over the head instead. With Jun Akiyama’s help, Miyawaki gave Okatani a Swinging DDT before pinning Ilusion with the Sunshine Driver.

The dark match was changed on short notice because Rukiya’s neck is acting up and he wasn’t able to wrestle today. Akito took his place and teamed up with Hinata Kasai in a losing effort against Tomomitsu Matsunaga & Yuki Ishida. Kasai came close to winning but was stunned by Ishida’s Flame Palm and was then pinned with the Leg Scoop Suplex.

For the third time in weeks, Super Sasadango Machine approached Dieno asking him to be part of his team for the DDT Vs New Japan show happening in one week’s time. He met him in the ring at the end of the show, pointing out that King Of DDT is now finished and Dieno should now be completely free to help Sasadango out. If Dieno refused then Sasadango would do the unspeakable and reveal to everyone Dieno’s shoot name! Dieno’s response is it’s not the right time for him to do Sasadango’s show because the World Cup begins three days afterwards. Dieno wants to watch all of the late night games coming up so he needs the few days before that to save up on his sleeping habits. Sasadango begun to cry because he couldn’t believe Dieno would sit by and watch his beloved DDT get trampled by New Japan. As much as the show is being built around friendly competition, it is really a war that DDT cannot afford to lose! He threatened to bring Dieno to court where his real name would be exposed but Dieno told him to calm down so they can talk again later.

There is currently a brief break for the Best Of The Super Jr. tournament so Daisuke Sasaki was in attendance for today’s show. He was too embarrassed to talk because he currently has a losing record so he whispered his message into Imabayashi’s ear. Imabayashi encouraged Sasaki not to give up because he still has a chance to win his block if he wins his remaining matches. The GM then revealed one of Sasaki’s opponents for his tag match happening at “WRESTLE PETER PAN 2026” on 11th August. It’s Antonio Honda! Imabayashi then revealed that DDT has not made a decision for who Sasaki or Honda’s tag partners will be. Instead it will be up to them to look into their connections and decide for themselves. Since DDT is holding a competition for fans to guess what the match is, Honda said he is going to pick someone who will surprise everybody. Sasaki on the other hand said his pick won’t surprise anyone.

Soma Takao announced his return match will happen on 28th June. He has been on the shelf with a left knee injury since January and is thrilled to be making his comeback soon. He said there are quite a few new DDT fans who only know him as the manager of the Dropkick Bar so he is excited for them to see him wrestle for the first time.

DDT will be holding a pro wrestling event attached to the Kumagawa Railway in Kumamoto on 22nd November. The Kumagawa Railway has been under repairs due to storm damage ever since the summer of 2020. This year those repairs will be completed and it is scheduled to finally reopen this September. DDT is celebrating the occasion by holding two matches to take place inside the train along with an actual wrestling show taking place at the journey’s destination Yunomae Station.
