The Seattle weekender came to an end with DDT, Tokyo Joshi Pro and DEFY all getting together for one big finale. The Moonlight Express were back together as a tag team after being opponents yesterday. Sadly for them their reunion was spoiled by Sinner & Saint. The DEFY team came out on top and think it won’t be the last time you’ll see them in DDT. Afterwards backstage MAO asked Mike Bailey when will he wrestle for DDT in Japan again because the last time he came back to the country it was for another company. Bailey doesn’t know but The Moonlight Express would like to team up in Japan one more time.

Easy come, easy go. Miyu Yamashita’s surprising reign as the DDT Universal Champion has already come to an end when her decision to compete in another 3 Way championship match this weekend blew up in her face. She was able to knock Nick Wayne out of the way with the Skull Kick but still had Gringo Loco to deal with. Loco gave her the Fire Thunder and pinned her with the Base Bomb to become the new Universal Champion! Loco said he is on top of the world and nobody can stop the wave he is riding on. Wayne hates that he lose but also called Yamashita the best joshi in the world and Loco the best luchador. He wants to come back to DDT and win the Universal Title. Yamashita was so shocked over the loss she didn’t give any post-match comments.

The teacher Konosuke Takeshita gave his student Yuni a big test today. Yuni had to fight him one on one to show how much he has grown since their last match together. Yuni gave it his best shot including doing a Dragonrana to Takeshita outside the ring. Takeshita ended up winning and told Yuni to go find a style of wrestling that only he can show to everyone else. When he finds it, the KO-D Openweight Title will be in his reach!

Shoko Nakajima put up a strong challenge for Marina Shafir on short notice but wasn’t able to win the DEFY Women’s Title from her. Shafir said Nakajima will never understand the sacrifices that were made for her to keep this title and she plans to retire undefeated as the champion. Nakajima calls Shafir a monster fighter and she hopes to get a rematch some day.

Miu Watanabe is happy she gets to leave Seattle with some happy memories. After being beaten by Zara Zakher yesterday, Watanabe was able to get a win today with Suzume on her side. Their opponents Mizuki & Wakana Uehara also had a fun time despite losing.

Match #4 was thrown out thanks to the lewd antics of Danshoku DienoRandy Myers and also Yoshihiko. Actually it wasn’t just them because Kohei Kinoshita joined in on their shenanigans too much to Daisuke Sasaki’s dismay. Sasaki wants to know why Kinoshita came all the way to Seattle to do even worse things than what he does in Japan? Sasaki will challenge them all to a 3-on-1 Handicap match if he has to get revenge that way!

At least Maki Itoh can say her weekend was all highs with no lows. She teamed up with Zakher and had their hands raised in victory. Zakher wants to continue the momentum when she travels to Japan next week. She plans to bring the Princess Of Princess Title back to America with her. Meanwhile Danika Della Rouge blamed Amira for losing the match and swears she will never team with her again.

It’s been around seven months since Shota went freelance and he admits he’s been struggling to break out. He lost to his friend Bryan Keith today after they weren’t on the same page as a team the day before. He hopes the ass kicking he took today will help motivate him from now on. Keith warned Shota not to go about making him his enemy. He also misses DDT and believes it is only a matter of time before he goes back there to hunt for gold.

Unusual trios were the name of the game for the opening match. Yuki Kamifuku didn’t know what to expect teaming up with Vert Vixen & Moka Miyamoto but they pulled out the win in the end. The other team however were in a bad mood for losing. Arisu Endo is frustrated she took the fall, Yuki Aino felt like she didn’t give it her all and Rika Tatsumi is mad her win rate in America is so bad!

The busy weekend comes to a close. DDT, Tokyo Joshi Pro and DEFY all join forces to end their series of shows with a bang. Miyu Yamashita is the brand new DDT Universal Champion but she’s taking a big gamble putting the belt on the line on short notice against both Nick Wayne and Gringo Loco. Also Shoko Nakajima shows how brave she is by challenging the seemingly unstoppable Marina Shafir for the DEFY Women’s Title.

Friend might become enemies when Bryan Keith faces Shota based on their tag team falling apart yesterday. Keith doesn’t want to bring out the new side of him that could put his buddy in danger but differences between them need to be settled somehow. Meanwhile Danshoku Dieno & Randy Myers have gone the other way as opponents becoming a tag team. If that’s not enough then what a sight it will be to have Maki Itoh and Zara Zakher teaming up together.

*MAO fails in V1. Miyu Yamashita becomes the 15th DDT Universal Champion!

The packed weekend in Seattle continued on Saturday night when DDT and DEFY worked together for a collaborative show with a shock title change in the main event. Miyu Yamashita has become the first woman to win the DDT Universal Title! The belt was on the line in a 3 Way Match with Yamashita being the third wheel against The Moonlight Express. However MAO and Mike Bailey both fought the match all against each other, which is probably why it costed MAO his championship in the end. He had given Bailey the Avalanche Michinoku Driver II when Yamashita cut him off and then hit Bailey with the Skull Kick to win the match and become champion.

Yamashita already has a match against Gringo Loco scheduled for tomorrow and he quickly challenged her to put the Universal Title on the line. Yamashita accepted until Nick Wayne got in the ring and challenged her too. Yamashita also accepted his challenge and said she will crush both opponents tomorrow in a 3 Way Match! Backstage Yamashita said now is the time not to set her own limits and she wants to defend the titles as many times as she can. Bailey called Yamashita and MAO two of the best wrestlers in the world. He is grateful he got to main event a DDT show again. MAO said he only wanted to defend the title against people he wouldn’t regret losing too and Yamashita is one of those people. He is also happy he got to have a title match against Bailey. He is interested in seeing what Yamashita will do with the Universal Title so he is moving on from that championship for the time being.

Konosuke Takeshita wrestled at an American New Japan show yesterday and an American DDT show today. His opponent Kohei Kinoshita is someone he has known since they were kids so this match meant a lot to those two. Takeshita said matches like these make him feel like a candle in his heart is being lit. If he keeps getting matches like these then a big dream will be waiting for him. Kinoshita was influenced by Takeshita to fall in love with American pro wrestling so it motivated him to pursue it.

Normally it is Daisuke Sasaki who likes being the heel but he got a taste of his own medicine against The Bollywood Boyz when he was given a Low Blow. Gurv Shira & Harv Shira went on to beat Artemis Spencer. The Boyz hope this win will open the door for them to go wrestle in Japan. They are even eager to have a rematch against Sasaki & Spencer in front of the Japanese fans.

Marina Shafir’s appearance on the show was to defend the DEFY Women’s Title against Danika Della Rouge. She won without too much of a threat so Shoko Nakajima came out and challenged her to a title match on tomorrow’s show! She told Shafir she will become the champion because she is the Big Kaiju! Shafir’s response is Nakajima has a small brain and will go home tomorrow in a bag!

The emotions coming out of the DEFY Tag Team Titles match were both high and mixed. The champions C4 retained the belts and called themselves the “Dramatic Dream Team” that wants to come to Japan! Midnight Heat were furious over losing the match without dropping the fall. They had plenty of bad things to say about DDT and Japan. The team that did drop the fall was Bryan Keith & Shota. Keith blamed Shota for losing the match and demanded a singles match against him tomorrow to settle their differences! They’re still friends but Keith warns Shota not to bring out Keith’s new side tomorrow.

High flying action was on the menu for what could be the very first match between an AEW wrestler and a WWE ID wrestler since the reveal of WWE’s new scouting initiative. Wayne ended up winning the match but it wasn’t without a big scratch on his face. He is feeling energized to wrestle in DDT and DEFY again which is what encourage him to challenge for the Universal Title later in the show. Jack Cartwheel wants DDT fans to know that he is the king of cartwheels and they only look funny until they come at your face!

There was an Iron Man Heavymetalweight Title change between Danshoku Dieno and Randy Myers before their match even began. Myers made the smart move of ambushing Dieno during his entrance and pinning him on the floor to win the belt. What Myers didn’t count on was for the match to go ahead anyway and Dieno won the belt back with some unexpected help from Yoshihiko. However Yoshihiko then turned on Dieno after the match and choked him out with a Sleeper Hold to win the title from him!

Gringo Loco thinks Yuni has a great future ahead of him but the present belongs to the “Base God”! He has higher mountains to climb, as shown when he challenged Yamashita for the Universal Title at the end of the show. Yuni is pleased that his dream of wrestling in America came true and Loco is an opponent he had always wanted to face. He is pumped to fight Takeshita tomorrow and even more pumped to beat him!

5. DDT Extreme Title – nobodyknows+ Rules: Akito (c) Vs Danshoku Dieno
6. KO-D Openweight Title: Shinya Aoki (c) Vs HARASHIMA

The nobodyknows+ Rules were used once before, in a DDT Extreme Title match between Akito and Danshoku Dieno in fact. However Dieno has no memory of it, which is something that Akito anticipated. The rule is nine mystery victory conditions and banned moves will be given to the referee before the match. The ref will then secretly choose the one condition that must be met in order to win or lose the match. It will then be up to the wrestlers to discover for themselves what that condition is. Dieno was allowed to suggest one of the options, which is that you can win the match if you can get his pet dog Haku to place his paw in your hand. Will the referee choose that to be the winning condition or will it be something else?

Only six matches for a Korakuen show is unusual for DDT. They usually put down seven on the card previews. Is this where we’re going to get the next Right To Challenge Shield cash in? Both Shunma Katsumata and Soma Takao are there, they are in the same match and there sure are a couple of notable names in there with them. Could it be that, the DAMNATION T.A Vs SCHADENFREUDE International match turns into a war or Shinya Aoki Vs HARASHIMA goes close to an hour?

The soon to debut Haruto Sakuraba will be in attendance.
