7. Special 6-Man Tag Match: Yuki Ueno, MAO & Kazusada Higuchi defeated To-y, Kazuma Sumi & Yuki Ishida when MAO pinned Sumi with a School Boy Counter (17:53).

A last minute change to the card created a DNA Vs D GENERATIONS themed main event for DDT’s last visit to Shinjuku FACE for 2025. The veteran side ended up winning the match but offered support to the new blood since the next D GENERATIONS CUP tournament will begin in the new year. They see how hard the D GENERATIONS work together and it makes them want to work even harder just so they won’t get overtaken.

Takeshi Masada has made up his mind to leave SCHADENFREUDE International in the new year but right now he is still part of the group for a couple of more days. He and Chris Brookes were meant to team up today but the decision led to them having a singles match against each other instead. Antonio Honda wasn’t at the show so the ringside attendants like Hinata Kasai participated in the SCHADENFREUDE spots in his absence. Bunbun was there though and in an act that turned out to be more neutral than it looked, he interrupted the rubber band spot by cutting the band in half with a pair of scissors. The band was already stretched by this point so one half each ended up snapping into Brookes and Masada’s faces. Honda’s presence ended up being felt anyway when a voice of his started telling a Gongitsune joke while Brookes and Masada tried replicating the move on each other. Brookes ended up winning the match cleanly with the Praying Mantis Bomb. He told Masada he doesn’t understand why he is leaving SCHADENFREUDE but everyone in the group will always be each other’s family. He encouraged Masada to reach the top of DDT while everyone else cheers him on. Masada said he would like to continue being in the unit because he loves it so much but now is the time for him to go searching for his own style using his own abilities. SCHADENFREUDE will always be family to him and he hopes they will support him now as rivals.

Special rules were created for Match #5 because Akito wanted Danshoku Dieno to restrain himself from giving everyone kisses on Christmas Eve. Akito proposed that the match would ban kisses for the first five minutes then it would be allowed after that. Dieno called the rule unfair so he counter offered that once the ban is lifted, you will need to kiss your opponent before pinning or submitting them in order to win. Akito agreed and almost had his way when Kazuki Hirata nearly lost the match several times in the first five minutes. But he was able to kick out of Jun Akiyama’s pins. He also survived a Boston Crab from HARASHIMA while Akito was too busy tying his own shoelaces to break the hold. The five minutes ran out and with a shout of “Merry Christmas!” from the ring announcer, Dieno was allowed to kiss again. Everyone else now had to kiss their opponent before trying to win the match. Dieno’s counter plan almost backfired because he didn’t want to kiss Sanshiro Takagi even when the opportunity was there for him to win. Takagi ran in to kiss Dieno but missed and got HARASHIMA instead. The same mistake happened to Hinata Kasai but when it looked like it was going to happen to Akiyama, he gave Takagi the Exploder Suplex instead. HARASHIMA forgot about the rule but ended up remembering to kiss Hirata before pinning him with the Somato to win.

Kumadori got a long awaited measure of revenge on Ilusion when their delayed singles match finally took place. Ilusion targeted Kumadori’s legs but when that plan didn’t work he resorted to blatant cheating including a ref bump and a Low Blow. Kumadori blocked Ilusion from using a chair though and gave him a Low Blow of his own before pinning him with a Modified Cancun Tornado for the victory. He considers the feud between them done with and is looking forward to reaching the top next year both as a professional dancer with O-MENZ and as a pro wrestler with DDT. Ilusion said he wanted to beat Kumadori to protect DDT because he is the only person to notice O-MENZ are invading the company. He cannot believe that CyberFight is letting this crisis go unnoticed!

DDT “RING FINALE 2025 ~EVERYONE IS THE STAR OF THE CURTAIN CALL~” Results

December 21, 2025

DDT “RING FINALE 2025 ~EVERYONE IS THE STAR OF THE CURTAIN CALL~”, 21/12/2025
Tokyo Korakuen Hall
??? Fans – Unannounced

5. DDT Extreme Title – Finish It Now!! If You Don’t Finish It Now, To-y Loses!!: To-y (c) defeated Yasu Urano with the Referee Brainbuster (R5 1:55).
*V6 for To-y.
6. KO-D Tag Team Titles: MAO & KANON (c) (w/ KIMIHIRO) defeated Jun Masaoka & Gaia Hox when KANON pinned Hox with the Modified LONELY DEZIRES (12:40).
*V2 for STRANGE LOVE CONNECTION.
7. KO-D Openweight Title – AXSEED Presents: Yuki Ueno (c) defeated Takeshi Masada with the WR (21:39).
*V4 for Yuki Ueno.

The penultimate DDT title match of 2025 came and went with Yuki Ueno still standing tall as a double singles champion. He put the KO-D Openweight Title on the line against Takeshi Masada who already had an uphill battle going into the show with being a convincing challenger. His big chance came after hitting a combo of Thrust Kick, Flying Knee Strike and a Triangle Kick. With Ueno in trouble, Masada used his finisher the Masada No Chikara KOBU Mukimuki. Ueno kicked out though and made the comeback starting with an Avalanche Frankensteiner. Death by Dropkick came for Masada and Ueno used the WR to finish him off and defend the title.

Ueno gave Masada some encouragement afterwards and told him he has very high hopes that Masada will show a side to him as a pro wrestler that nobody has ever seen before. However even if Masada can one day beat Ueno, Ueno said Masada will never surpass him. Daisuke Sasaki then entered the ring promising not to attack Ueno because he is here on serious business. He wants to challenge Ueno to a title match fair and square. He offered Ueno a handshake only to kick him below the belt. As he went to give Ueno the Pedigree, Chris Brookes ran into the ring to stop him. He then slapped Ueno because he’s also here to demand a title shot. Ueno said he would fight both of them and it doesn’t matter if the KO-D Title or DDT Universal Title will be put on the line. Everyone started arguing with each other until Akito interrupted them. As a CyberFight Director, he had the power to come up with a solution. On 25th January there will be a 3 Way Match between Ueno, Sasaki and Brookes. But the match will last for two falls, the first with the Universal Title on the line and the second will have the KO-D Title on the line! Ueno will need to win both falls if he wants to defend both of his championships. The situation makes Ueno realize how precious both life and pro wrestling are. Sasaki thinks he has good odds of winning both titles because he is a “3 Way Magician”.

Masada also came to a realization after the main event that it is time for him to try something new. He is going to quit SCHADENFREUDE International! He explained to Brookes he’s been stuck repeating the same loop lately and it won’t change unless he steps into a new environment. He needs to free himself in order to enjoy being in DDT. Brookes understood and told Masada he can leave the unit on 3rd January because doing it here right now wouldn’t be a good way to end his membership.

A tricky tag team from outside of DDT was here for Strange Love Connection to try and solve. F-SWAG’s matches have a pace that matches SLC with plenty of fancy teamwork of their own to go along with other antics that can throw the opposition off balance. Jun Masaoka & Gaia Hox almost became the new KO-D Tag Team Champions when they gave MAO the F-DRIVE II but KANON broke the pin. F-SWAG then went to cheat as Gaia Hox hit KANON over the head with a wet floor sign. However KANON turned the tables and got to pin Hox with the LONELY DEZIRES for a successful title defence. SLC enjoyed the match though and told F-SWAG they can come back to DDT again.

SLC are ending the year as tag champs and were talking about what they could look forward to in 2026 when suddenly Yuki Iino walked down to the ring searching around for something. He climbed inside, realized MAO was who he was looking for and then he Speared him! Yukio Naya got into the ring yelling at Iino to stop getting ahead of himself. He explained that ever since The Apex lost the titles to SLC, Iino cannot stop thinking about MAO and keeps saying his name over and over. MAO remembered that Iino previously acted the same way towards Chihiro Hashimoto and realized this means he has now become Iino’s rival. He’s happy to learn that. Both teams agreed that the Survival 3 Way Match at Sumo Hall last month wasn’t enough for them so SLC agreed to face The Apex in a KO-D Tag Titles match on 25th January.

To-y has regained the DDT Extreme Title that he never officially lost. Yasu Urano stole the belt and manipulated his way into behaving like a champion while To-y was tricked into acting like he was now the challenger. The match they had was structured into two minute long rounds where every round the match needed to end with a particular wrestling move randomly picked out of a list of fan suggestions. Round 1 was basic enough because the move was simply to slap the opponent. Round 2 suddenly became difficult when the finisher became the Gorgeous Superstar Elbow. To-y was able to pull off something kind of like the move but it wasn’t similar enough to count. Round 3 gave the advantage to Urano because the move was the Reverse Hold/Backslide Pin. To-y was able to survive into Round 4 where his finisher the Kojima Wonderland was now chosen. He hit the move but couldn’t get the three count with it. Round 5 turned into a challenge because the chosen move was the Referee Brainbuster. Yukinori Matsui needed to Suplex one of the wrestlers but he didn’t have the strength for it. Outside the ring To-y gave Matsui a boost by Kancho poking him into Suplexing Urano. To-y then placed Urano on the top turnbuckle and physically helped Matsui do a Hijack Brainbuster. That counted so To-y pinned Urano for the three count to get his belt back and officially remain champion. He now wants to find an even more extreme kind of wrestling to continue his reign.

Everything’s just going so great for Kaisei Takechi lately, isn’t it? He’s booked for the Tokyo Dome soon, last week he won the Best Newcomer category in the annual Tokyo Sports Awards and today he got to wrestle Yuji Nagata to continue his climb up the pro wrestling industry. Takechi got to team with HARASHIMA in the match while Nagata had Sanshiro Takagi as his partner. That is decades and decades of experience in all sorts for Takechi to learn off of. Takagi dragged him up the aisles so he could then run him over in the Dramatic Dream bike. Back in the ring Nagata unleashed his Middle Kicks and also an Exploder Suplex as his way to toughen up Takechi. But with HARASHIMA’s help Takechi got the upper hand on Takagi and he hit the Swan Dive Forearm to get the victory. Nagata praised Takechi for having guts and he told him to do his best on 4th January. Takechi said he is still a rookie but his passion and determination are unmatched. He still wants more ring time so he asked Takagi if he could get booked for the 25th January Korakuen Hall show. Takagi told him if he’s that willing to immerse himself into wrestling then it shall be done. Backstage Nagata spoke positively about Takechi and how he showed he is more than just good looks. He thinks what will happen to Takechi at the Tokyo Dome will be a valuable experience for him no matter if it turns out positive or negative.

SCHADENFREUDE International wanted to play the hits early in the 3 Way Trios match but Yuki Ishida stopped Antonio Honda from telling a Gongitsune joke. Things then got weird when Shinya Aoki stopped Iino from doing The Apex Elbow by trying to bite his pec for some reason. Brookes & Honda got everyone to form a human pyramid in the ring then Hinata Kasai pulled the rubber band spot on Ishida & Kazusada Higuchi. Brookes found himself in trouble when Higuchi & Naomi Yoshimura chopped him back and forth. SCHADENFREUDE led a train attack (which included Bunbun) on Aoki but it stopped when Honda tripped and hurt his knee. He told his Gongitsune joke and led his team into doing Bionic Elbows but they all missed. Iino went on to pin Kasai with The Apex Elbow while Naya grabbed Aoki and held him up off the mat so he would stop getting in the way.

Kazuki Hirata knew what his fate was going to be today but he wouldn’t let that ruin his last match at Korakuen Hall for the year. He interrupted Toru Owashi’s entrance with his own so he could dance to the ring, unaware that Owashi was so mad he was going to hit him with a chair if Matsui wasn’t there to stop him. Hirata told the rest of the team they should fight DAMNATION T.A like heels so he tried to attack Daisuke Sasaki with a chair only to immediately fall into the Cross Facelock and give up. Hirata then asked if DAMNATION T.A really wanted that to be their last Korakuen match of the year? The question convinced them to restart the match with the other team back to behaving as faces. They did a train attack on Hideki Okatani only for Hirata to miss his charge. When things were going south for them, Hirata unmasked Super Sasadango Machine to reveal heel face paint underneath! He then pulled down the back of Dieno’s tights to also reveal heel face paint on his rear end. Hirata got a face full of it instead of Demus and Ilusion then pinned him with the Swanton Bomb. Sasaki grabbed the chair and hit Dieno in the backside with it afterwards.

Minoru Suzuki was back in DDT looking to fight Jun Akiyama. Despite the two of them starting off the match, Yuya Koroku was quick to tag in. When Suzuki tagged Akito, Koroku knocked him off the apron which set him off. Akito threw Koroku out of the ring so Suzuki could start a brawl with him around ringside with chairs being knocked about everywhere. Akiyama got involved to settle things down and bring the match back into the ring. Koroku had his arm worked over by both of his opponents but used a Waterwheel Drop on Akito to tag in Akiyama. When Koroku got his breath back he tried fighting Suzuki again, using a Wrist-Clutch STO for a nearfall. Suzuki avoided an attempt at the Triangle Lancer and dropped Koroku down with the Gotch-Style Piledriver to get the win.

The dark match was Yuni’s return to action having been away from the ring since August. He started the match off with Daichi Sato and was almost German Suplexed away after Sato caught his Space Rolling Elbow attempt. Tomomitsu Matsunaga took a moment in between hitting Yuni to tell him how jealous he is that Yuni got into Sophia University. He, Sato & Rukiya then targeted Soma Takao who wasn’t in the best condition because of his knee. Yuni & Kazuma Sumi came to the rescue with some high flying moves, allowing Takao to constantly roll up Matsunaga with the Official Endless Waltz until he got the three count.

After the dark match Yuni told the audience he was accepted into university and is looking forward to enjoying his time both there and in pro wrestling. NωA Jr. then wished Takao the best of luck before performing their new single “Mikansei NEXT”.

Some new title programs have opened up for DDT’s last few weeks of the year. We also have what could be the last ROMANCE DAWN tag match for a while. More on why that is later.

BASARA “BASARA 294 ~UTAGE AKA – HIEN~”, 11/12/2025
Shin-Kiba 1st RING

1. YJF Cruiserweight Title: Ayumu Honda (c) Vs FUMA
2. Wrestle Brain Jr. Heavyweight Title: Masato Kamino (c) Vs Takeru Inoue
3. BJW Jr. Heavyweight Title: Kosuke Sato (c) Vs Takato Nakano
4. Union MAX Title: Ryota Nakatsu (c) Vs Seiya Morohashi

Where are all of these championships coming from? The Wrestle Brain Jr. Heavyweight Title has been around the obscure corners of the indies for over 20 years, originating from a long defunct company called Pro Wrestling Nightmare. It is currently held by Masato Kamino after he won it from Yuki Kanzaki. The YJF Cruiserweight Title belongs to Gokigen Pro Wrestling, the replacement for YMZ that hasn’t actually had its proper launch yet. Ayumu Honda is currently the holder of that championship.

There is one more match to be booked for the show. Which means there is still time to find another very obscure championship to put on the line.

GANBARE☆PRO “FLASH GORDON 2025”, 13/12/2025
Shin-Kiba 1st RING

1. Mizuki Watase & Rukiya Vs Yasu Urano & Rekka
2. Moeka Haruhi Vs Gabai Ji-chan
3. Yuna Manase & Toga Vs YuuRI & Chika Nanase

5. 3 Way Match: Shuichiro Katsumura Vs PSYCHO Vs Choun Shiryu
6. Yumehito Imanari, Keisuke Ishii & Shinichiro Tominaga Vs Munetatsu Nakamura, Shota Kawakami & Sentaro Motoshima

The next challenges for the two Spirit Of Ganbare Championships have been thrown down for Korakuen Hall at the end of the year but the coast isn’t clear just yet. The young wrestlers of Ganbare☆Pro want to get those opportunities instead of their seniors so an all or nothing 6-Man Tag Match will sort this issue out.

Akira Shoji? The Pride FC fighter? I don’t think he has wrestled since HUSTLE was around. Oh no, wait, he was in SMASH a bunch for its early shows. It’s all coming back to me now.

The women’s tag match is going to mix Ganbare☆Joshi with Tokyo Joshi Pro a little bit. Yuna Manase & Toga get to team up as Hot Shot again while YuuRI joins forces with Chika Nanase for the first time.

DDT “SENDAI NEW LEGEND 2025 ~SERI HOYA HYOTAN-AGE~”, 14/12/2025
Miyagi Yume Messe Miyagi

1. Ilusion Vs Hinata Kasai
2. 3 Way Match: To-y Vs Danshoku Dieno Vs Kazuki Hirata
3. Daisuke Sasaki, Hideki Okatani & Demus Vs Kazusada Higuchi, Chris Brookes & Daichi Sato
4. Yuki Iino & Yukio Naya Vs Jun Akiyama & Yuya Koroku
5. Special Tag Match: MAO & KANON (w/ KIMIHIRO) Vs HARASHIMA & Kazuma Sumi
6. Special Tag Match: Yuki Ueno & Akito Vs Takeshi Masada & Yuki Ishida

This will be the last time in 2025 that MAO will get to wrestle in his home area.

DDT “RING FINALE 2025 ~EVERYONE IS THE STAR OF THE CURTAIN CALL~”, 21/12/2025
Tokyo Korakuen Hall

1. Special Tag Match: Yuji Nagata & Sanshiro Takagi Vs HARASHIMA & Kaisei Takechi
2. KO-D Tag Team Titles: MAO & KANON (c) (w/ KIMIHIRO) Vs Jun Masaoka & Gaia Hox
3. KO-D Openweight Title: Yuki Ueno (c) Vs Takeshi Masada

It’s just the KO-D Openweight Title on the line for Yuki Ueno’s last title match of the year. He put all of D GENERATIONS into a Rock Paper Scissors tournament to determine the No. 1 Contender and Takeshi Masada came out on top. His fighting words to build up the title match didn’t impress the champion though. Ueno wants to hear something from Masada that will make him want to fight him.

An outsider team is just what Strange Love Connection are looking for when it comes to their next KO-D Tag Team Titles defence. F-SWAG has come to DDT looking for gold an quickly set their sights on the tag belts. Jun Masaoka & Gaia Hox can be a handful together but MAO thinks it will do KANON a lot of good to start fighting wrestlers from outside of DDT.

More big opportunities are coming Kaisei Takechi’s way. He has a trip to the Tokyo Dome booked for 4th January so Sanshiro Takagi is giving him a New Japan flavored appetizer in the form of Yuji Nagata. Takechi will have HARASHIMA backing him up because HARASHIMA doesn’t want to miss out on the fun.

GANBARE☆PRO “BEFORE SUNRISE 2025”, 27/12/2025
Tokyo Korakuen Hall

1. YuuRI 5th Anniversary Match: YuuRI Vs Sareee
2. Spirit Of Ganbare World Tag Team Titles: Ryota Nakatsu & Takumi Tsukamoto (c) Vs Yumehito Imanari & Shinichiro Tominaga
3. Spirit Of Ganbare World Openweight Title: Masaaki Mochizuki (c) Vs Keisuke Ishii

Should the GanPro veterans get past their pesky juniors, they will have championship matches to look forward to at the end of the year. Keisuke Ishii believes he is the one fated to win the Spirit Of Ganbare World Title from Masaaki Mochizuki in a battle between the Kneel Kick against the Saikyou High Kick.

Yumehito Imanari & Shinichiro Tominaga have become GanPro’s latest hope to take the Spirit Of Ganbare Tag Team Titles from the BASARA team. They have wrestled in the same matches so frequently this year that they feel like they are already an established tag team in GanPro. That’s why they went and given themselves a tag team name called Touchable. That isn’t making Ryota Nakatsu or Takumi Tsukamoto shaking in their boots though.

DDT “NEW YEAR☆DRAMATIC PARADE 2026 ~THE ANSWER WILL BE REVEALED ONE YEAR LATER~”, 03/01/2026
Tokyo Korakuen Hall

1. KO-D 6-Man Tag Team Titles: Yuki Ueno, To-y & Kaisei Takechi (c) Vs MAO, KANON (w/ KIMIHIRO) & Kazuma Sumi

One day before Takechi (and possibly a few others) go to the Tokyo Dome, he has his first title defence with The 37KAMIINA to get through. Ueno, To-y & Takechi have to get past the trio of SLC & Kazuma Sumi if Takechi wants to enter the Dome with the KO-D 6-Man Tag Team Titles still belonging to his team.

2026 will begin with a DDT wrestler taking time off for injury. Soma Takao will be out of action from January in order to get treated for a lingering left knee injury. He doesn’t know how long the break will last but the only thing he is certain of is you will find him working at the Dropkick Bar.

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “TOKYO JOSHI PRO ’26”, 04/01/2026
Tokyo Korakuen Hall

1. Shoko Nakajima Vs Hyper Misao
2. Princess Tag Team Titles: Yuki Kamifuku & Wakana Uehara (c) Vs Yuki Aino & Haru Kazashiro
3. Princess Of Princess Title: Miu Watanabe (c) Vs Suzume

A new tag team has shown up to challenge Ober Eats! It’s familiar territory for Yuki Aino as she finds herself back to being a tag wrestler but she’s happy to hear that Haru Kazashiro wants to team with her. YukiHaru are wasting no time and have quickly made the Princess Tag Team Titles their target.

The guests announced for the show so far are Aja Kong, Yuka Sakazaki, J-Rod and Max The Impaler.

*V3 for the KO-D Openweight Title. V1 for the DDT Universal Title.

High hopes and grand ambitions for the future spurred on Super Sasadango Machine as he found himself fighting Yuki Ueno for DDT’s top two championships in Korakuen Hall today. He spent the time leading up to the match working out with a personal trainer, had revealed the Reverse Shrimp Hold as his deadly secret weapon he had kept hidden for around two decades and he was watched over by Konosuke Takeshita in his corner for the match. The big problem though was Ueno banned Sasadango from giving any PowerPoint Presentations until this match took place, sapping away Sasadango’s creativity. Or did it? As he held Ueno in the Reverse Shrimp Hold, fighting to stop the champion from reaching the ropes “Etupirka” began to play and a spiritual PowerPoint Presentation was broadcast directly into the minds of everyone watching the match! In it Sasadango revealed then if he wins the KO-D Openweight Title and DDT Universal Title today, he will nominate Ueno to be his first challenger and hold the rematch at the 3rd January Korakuen show next year. Then the next day Sasadango will invade the Tokyo Dome to take over New Japan’s big show! Unfortunately for Sasadango the bonus motivation didn’t work and Ueno made it to the ropes to break his secret hold. Ueno also kicked out of the Vertical Drop Lehman Shock even though Sasadango hit the move three times throughout the match. Sasadango’s last plan was to simply use a Dropkick on Ueno but the champion got back up and did several Dropkicks of his own. Sasadango kicked out of the BME and the two wrestlers began Dropkicking each other back and forth. They both kept kicking out of the pins until Sasadango got Dropkicked in the face one time too many and couldn’t kick out anymore.

After the match Ueno thanked Sasadango for doing his best and asked him if they really can make the dream of bringing DDT to the Tokyo Dome come true? Sasadango said it is not a dream at all and it is their responsibility to take all of the DDT fans to that destination. If everybody puts their minds to it, they can definitely make it to the Tokyo Dome and fill it up for an amazing view! Ueno admitted he will never become an icon like Hiroshi Tanahashi but that’s okay. Sasadango advised him to just be himself and then left. Later during his backstage comments, Sasadango talked about the opportunities that will open up when Tanahashi retires for other wrestlers to become the next icon for the entire industry, not just in New Japan. There are so many things that need to be done for DDT to get to the Tokyo Dome but Sasadango promised he will work hard to help make it happen, especially since we are not that far off from DDT celebrating its 30th Anniversary.

But that’s still way off in the future. Ueno is also thinking about what he’s going to do next. Hisaya Imabayashi told him his next singles title match will happen on the 21st December Korakuen show and Ueno was allowed to choose his opponent. Ueno decided he will defend the KO-D Title against one of the D GENERATIONS wrestlers and the challenger would be determined right away with a Rock Paper Scissors tournament! He explained it would be the fairest way to quickly determine the No. 1 Contender and it is also an idea that has been passed down through DDT since ancient times. In the end, Takeshi Masada beat Yuki Ishida in the final to earn the title shot. Ueno asked him what does he want to do if he becomes champion? Masada said he will prove that he is the future of DDT. Ueno told him he has plenty of time to do that so he should say something that will make Ueno want to beat him. Masada said he will make Ueno feel despair when he beats him on the 21st!

Fresh off of ~~losing~~ winning his first match in the Continental Classic at AEW last week, Takeshita made it all the way back to DDT for a special rematch against Shinya Aoki. He brought the IWGP World Heavyweight Title with him but the match was a non-title bout. Aoki brought the challenge, finding unique ways to use his moves on Takeshita. He avoided being pinned with the Blue Thunder Bomb by applying a Cross Armbreaker and also used the setup for the Aoki Clutch as a feint to roll Takeshita into the European Clutch instead. Takeshita got the better of him though by escaping his different cradle pins and using a Backslide to roll himself on top of Aoki and pin him with a bridging Jackknife. Takeshita said backstage that he cannot afford to lose anywhere right now because the Tokyo Dome is waiting for him. He isn’t just talking about 4th January because as long as he is with DDT, he wants to go to the Tokyo Dome with DDT! He also sees how much the D GENERATIONS have improved and thinks DDT is in good hands with them around. Aoki is coming off of a recent MMA defeat in ONE FC and said how strange it is that today he feels he is back where he belongs. To him, martial arts and MMA are all part of the same rules as pro wrestling and he has come to love modern pro wrestling.

A grudge match over the KO-D Tag Team Titles pushed Strange Love Connection to bring in an extra ringside second alongside KIMIHIRO to even up the numbers against DAMNATION T.A. During the entrance KIMIHIRO introduced everyone to the stage actress Yuzuki Hoshimoto who was armed with a whip and also an illuminated blade shaped bat. However she didn’t turn out to do much when DAMNATION T.A attacked the champions during their entrance. She whipped MJ Paul a bit but he just shoved her against the ring apron in response. Things went worse for SLC when MAO’s attempted stage dive missed the target and he landed on KANON instead. Daisuke Sasaki continued to attack them with chairs, even Body Slamming KIMIHIRO onto a pile of them. Paul & Demus added more damage with interference spots but MAO got his own back by wiping them out at ringside with a Quebrada. Sasaki held MAO in La Mistica Crossface Lock while Hideki Okatani went to finish the job but KANON made a comeback on the two of them. As much as Okatani tried to harm KANON’s hand, he couldn’t stop him from doing the LONELY DEZIRES, giving SLC a hard earned victory and KANON his revenge.

After the match KANON spoke about having confidence now and proving he is not unwanted because he has friends who support him. SLC beat DAMNATION T.A but they don’t want their title run to end here. They heard that earlier today F-SWAG were telling everyone they want a title shot. MAO thinks it’s great that teams from outside DDT now want to fight for the KO-D Tag Titles because he needs new opponents to help himself and KANON grow stronger together. Meanwhile DAMNATION T.A were coming up with excuses for losing. Sasaki blamed it on bad calls while Okatani had regrets over not using his bamboo stick because he thought he could win without it.

Gambling was the name of the game when it came to today’s DDT Extreme Title match. Well actually the name of the match was Weapon Gamble but you know what I mean. To-y and Sanshiro Takagi spent over a week gambling their money in the hopes of raising funds for weapons to use in this match. Neither of them won anything substantial so they were reduced to finding weapons they didn’t have to pay for. The extra catch was every time a new weapon was introduced, they would have to play a card game where the person who drew the higher number would be allowed use the weapon on his opponent. One instance of this backfiring was when Takagi brought in a group of unpaid amateur indie wrestlers. To-y won the card game so all of the wrestlers attacked Takagi instead. The next item was a briefcase that To-y won the right to use but Takagi grabbed it and ran off. When the indie wrestlers chased after him, Takagi pulled out a spray can from the briefcase and blinded everyone with it. The Dramatic Dream was next and Takagi got to crash it into everyone up in the aisleway. Another bicycle was brought out but this one belonged to To-y’s parents! He and Takagi then crashed their bikes into each other. Then came the most dangerous weapon of the match: A parent-teacher meeting with To-y’s mother Miwa Kojima! Takagi won the card game so he got to tell Miwa about To-y’s gambling problem, claiming To-y has taken it so far that he has stolen Takagi’s money to fund it! Miwa also revealed her credit card is constantly in debt because of her son so she asked Takagi to help her. Takagi smashed a plastic case over To-y’s head as punishment which shocked Miwa. She had a sudden change of heart and slapped Takagi across the face, stunning him long enough for To-y to give him the Kojima In Wonderland onto the plastic cases for the victory. Mother and son hugged each other afterwards but To-y admitted he cannot quit gambling. He promised to make enough money to pay it all back though and then make even more money so he can gamble even more without it going to waste. He admits when you hold the Extreme Title you lose track of what is right and what is wrong. However he will always be authentic.

The first DDT tour for the Belgian tag team Rivality came to an end today with them getting to team up with Jun Akiyama & HARASHIMA. The four of them all joined forces to face the temporary alliance of SCHADENFREUDE International and Harimao. Early on MBM & Ultima Sombra got to experience the SCHADENFREUDE Tower spot from both sides. Sombra was the one getting punished while MBM got to pose on top of him with everyone else. Sombra also took the full brunt of the rubber band spot from Chris Brookes. Akiyama fought Naomi Yoshimura for the more serious part of the match but the finish came down to Masada & Ishida hitting their finishers on both members of MBM at the same time, leading to Masada pinning MBM.

As mentioned earlier, F-SWAG has come to DDT and they are looking for gold. Jun Masaoka & Gaia Hox made the most of the chaos that went on to win the 3 Way Tag Match against The Apex and DAMNATION T.A. They formed an alliance with Demus & Ilusion at first but betrayed them as soon as the opportunity arose. Hox wiped out Yuki Iino & Yukio Naya with a dive then made it back into the ring to help Masaoka finish off Ilusion for the victory. After the match F-SWAG got on the microphone and said they wanted to face the winners of the KO-D Tag Titles match on 21st December because that is the only date they have open that month. DDT better watch out!

After a month long delay in recovery, Danshoku Dieno finally got to make his triumphant return to the ring. Too bad the match began while he was making his entrance through the audience and Antonio Honda submitted to Kazusada Higuchi’s Claw Hold six seconds in. Imabayashi got mad at Dieno’s moment being ruined and ordered a restart. The match went on without a hitch with all of the Lip Locks and partial nudity you’d want in a Dieno match. Toru Owashi didn’t get a Lip Lock though despite anticipating he would. Dieno had extra pent up energy built up from his time away and it was used to charge up the Hirata Go! glasses and also Gongitsune (as well as a portable battery belonging to a fan at ringside). Kazuki Hirata turned the charged up Gongitsune against Honda in order to pin him with the Miracle One Shot Cradle.

In the dark match Akito, Daichi Sato & Yuya Koroku all teamed up to defeat Soma Takao, Rukiya & Hinata Kasai. Takao & Rukiya tried to break down Sato with a Sandwich Elbow attack so Kasai could hit him with a Missile Dropkick. Sato got back at Kasai with a Fisherman Suplex and pinned him with a Penalty Kick.

Two big matches featuring Kaisei Takechi were announced for December and January to help him prepare for his “WRESTLE KINGDOM” appearance. On 21st December he will team with HARASHIMA to face Yuji Nagata & Sanshiro Takagi. Then on 3rd January Takechi will defend the KO-D 6-Man Tag Team Titles with The 37KAMIINA against SLC & Kazuma Sumi.

DDT “BANETSU EAST LINE TRAIN PRO WRESTLING” Results

Banetsu East Line Train

1b. Kazusada Higuchi & Kazuki Hirata eliminated Yuki Ueno & To-y by TKO when Higuchi used the Torture Canadian Backbreaker on To-y (143:45).

1d. MAO & KANON and Yukio Naya & Kazuma Sumi eliminated each other when KANON pinned Sumi and Naya pinned MAO at the same time (147:20).
1e. Chris Brookes & Takeshi Masada eliminated HARASHIMA & Yuya Koroku when Brookes pinned Koroku with a Piledriver through the Table (150:38).

A cozy train ride across the Banetsu East Line Train was on the cards today. DDT decided to put on a Tag Team Battle Royal on a train with the first group of teams boarding on at Koriyama Station. Yuki Ueno & To-y were the first to walk down the aisleway, followed by Strange Love Connection, then Chris Brookes & Takeshi Masada and lastly Kazusada Higuchi & Kazuki Hirata joined in. While the fighting went on for a while, the wrestlers took breaks here and there to talk with the passengers. MAO also promoted the big Baka Gaijin + Friends show taking place in Shinjuku FACE on Tuesday.

The action picked up at Iwaki Tokiwa Station when two more teams entered the fray. HARASHIMA & Yuya Koroku as well as Yukio Naya & Kazuma Sumi all jogged down to the station and fought everyone outside the train. The SCHADENFREUDE International team also sack tossed wrestlers like Koroku and Sumi into piles of dry hay nearby before everyone got back in the train.

Everyone wanted to pace themselves for the next station so rather than wrestle, they all played card and dice games over a luxury bento box. When the train arrived at Ononiimachi Station there was a secret team standing by to be the final entrants in the match. It was Sanshiro Takagi & Akito! Everyone continued wrestling outside on the platform where passengers on another train got to watch on from their seats. When that train departed all of the wrestlers waved goodbye to it. Everyone then decided to gang up on Takagi & Akito, tying them both to the train station’s sign post. They also stuck tape over their mouths and abandoned them at the station so the match could continue on its journey. Since Takagi & Akito didn’t make it back to the train when it left, they were the first team eliminated from the Battle Royal.

The wrestlers took another break on the train to eat lunch and play more games. Hirata then led some of the others in a dance before the fighting broke out again. The train stopped at Akai Station where Pokotan was meant to step onboard as a surprise guest but he was spotted sleeping on the ground. He woke up as the train was leaving and tripped over while trying to chase after it.

The train reached its final destination and everyone disembarked so the Battle Royal could conclude outside of Iwaki Station. The 37KAMIINA team were eliminated when Higuchi held To-y in the Canadian Backbreaker until To-y fainted while Ueno was too busy dancing with Hirata to notice. Everybody then physically made Higuchi put Hirata in the Canadian Backbreaker and all wrenched the move harder to make Hirata give up, knocking Higuchi out of the match too.

A back and forth battle then went ahead between SLC and Naya & Sumi. It ended with Sumi giving MAO a Flying DDT onto the ground only for MAO in his last gasp give Sumi the Fire Thunder onto the concrete. Both men were knocked completely out so KANON pinned Sumi while Naya pinned MAO. Both got three counts but that also meant both teams had eliminated each other!

That left two teams still standing for the big finale. HARASHIMA tried to do the Somato on Masada while he was leaning against a flipped over table. Masada rolled out of the way making HARASHIMA crash into the table knees first. Koroku then tried to fight off Brookes & Masada two on one but eventually fell to their double team tactics. The table was set back up and Brookes put Koroku through it with a Piledriver for the final elimination, making SCHADENFREUDE International the winners of the Battle Royal in over two hours and 30 minutes!

5. O-40 Title: Daisuke Sasaki defeated Antonio Honda (c) with a Japanese Leg Roll Clutch Counter (12:36).

6. Special Single Match: Hideki Okatani defeated KANON (w/ KIMIHIRO) with a Gyaku-uchi (13:41).
7. Special Tag Match: Yuki Ueno, To-y & Chris Brookes defeated Super Sasadango Machine, Sanshiro Takagi & HARASHIMA when Ueno pinned Sasadango with a School Boy (17:37).

In the final warm up match before the next Korakuen Hall show, Yuki Ueno got one over on Super Sasadango Machine for the finish. Sasadango tried to put his own mask over Ueno’s face to blind him but Ueno blocked it. Instead, Ueno put the mask back on Sasadango backwards, Dropkicked him in the head and then pinned him with a School Boy. While Sanshiro Takagi and To-y argued after the match over gambling, Ueno spoke to Sasadango and asked why he decided to challenge him for the KO-D Openweight Title? Sasadango’s answer was he wants to beat Ueno, carry his beaten body to the merchandise venue like a knight carrying a rescued princess and then make a ton of money from taking photos with the fans. Ueno cut him off and asked what does Sasadango want to do if he becomes champion? Sasadango pointed out that a huge hole in the wrestling world will open up when Hiroshi Tanahashi retires on 24th January. Sasadango sees this as his opportunity to become the next ace of the entire pro wrestling industry!

Hideki Okatani is playing mind games on KANON ahead of their KO-D Tag Team Titles Match. At the contract signing during the show, Okatani told KANON that no matter where he goes he will always be an unwanted child. Even if MAO picked KANON up after he was kicked out of DAMNATION T.A, he is only going to be abandoned again. Daisuke Sasaki doesn’t want to bring him back into the group and is going to ruin his life even more when DAMNATION T.A take the KO-D Tag Titles away from Strange Love Connection. KANON told them he is having the most fun of his career right now because he now has friends he can rely on. MAO thinks the best way KANON can get revenge on DAMNATION T.A is to show off how much more lively he is without them. Later in the show, Okatani beat KANON in a grudge match thanks to Sasaki hitting KANON in the back with a chair. A brawl then broke out where DAMNATION T.A overwhelmed SLC and left all of them laying, KIMIHIRO included. Despite that, KANON is trying to play some mind games back by saying Sasaki actually does want him back even though Sasaki says otherwise.

Today is Sasaki’s 40th birthday and he got to celebrate it even more by winning the O-40 Title from Antonio Honda! The former champion decided to be gracious after the match by singing Happy Birthday but Sasaki didn’t want to hear it and walked off with the belt. Backstage Sasaki sent a message out to all of the best wrestlers over the age of 40 to come fight him for the belt. He wants the likes of Roman Reigns, Cody Rhodes, CM Punk and Brock Lesnar to all answer his challenge.

Akito decided to be a referee for a match celebrating the 16th Anniversary of his debut because it is something he has never done before. Both Kazuki Hirata & Soma Takao wanted Akito to call things in their favor because yesterday was Hirata’s birthday and Takao is celebrating three years of managing the Dropkick Bar. When Akito declined to help, they then tried to bribe him 3,000 yen. Akito accepted the deal and purposely counted fast for them while counting slow for Rukiya & Hinata Kasai. However he had a change of heart after Rukiya confronted him over his officiating and was convinced to change sides because Rukiya is worth more to him than 3,000 yen. Akito then instructed Rukiya how to correctly apply a Crab Hold and Rukiya used the move to successfully submit Hirata.

An ambitious collaboration merging pro wrestling with idol music gave both DDT and Tokyo Joshi Pro an opportunity to step foot into Malaysia for the very first time. The event aimed to mix cool with cute as the wrestling portion would be provided by DDT and TJPW while musical performances by The Up Up Girls (Pro Wrestling), NGT48 and KLP48 took place in between the matches. Several wrestlers from the local scene were involved too, getting to grab some attention for themselves while representing Malaysia Pro Wrestling (MYPW). The show also counts as Marika Kobashi’s first time wrestling on a TJPW event since she graduated from the promotion back in 2022.

Sanshiro Takagi said in backstage comments that the event ended without a hitch. He is deeply moved to see how well Japan’s pro wrestling and idol cultures were embraced by the Malaysian audience. Both Miu Watanabe and Yuki Arai said they would love to come back and bring everyone from TJPW over next time.

D GENERATIONS SP, YuuRI Gearing Up To A Big End Of The Year, Watanabe Vs Suzume At Ittenyon

November 10, 2025

DDT “D GENERATIONS SP”, 11/11/2025
Shinjuku FACE

1. Ali Najima Vs Hinata Kasai
2. Yuki Ishida & Kazuma Sumi Vs Munetatsu Nakamura & Sentaro Motoshima
3. To-y Vs Daichi Sato
4. Special Single Match: Daiki Nagai Vs Rukiya
5. Special Tag Match: Yuya Koroku & Katsuya Murashima Vs Ryoma Tsukamoto & Kumadori
6. Special Tag Match: Kosei Fujita & Takeshi Masada Vs Hideki Okatani & Ilusion

Tomorrow is a big day for D GENERATIONS because their next show is in Shinjuku FACE rather than the outdoor theater at Ueno Park. There’s also a few young New Japan wrestlers involved too.

GANBARE☆PRO “TBA”, 29/11/2025
Tokyo Takashimadaira Kumin Center

1. Spirit Of Ganbare World Tag Team Titles: Ryota Nakatsu & Takumi Tsukamoto (c) Vs Shuichiro Katsumura & YuuRI

As shown in recent Ganbare☆Pro events, YuuRI does not want to be just confined to the Ganbare☆Joshi division. She thinks she is good enough to beat the BASARA team and bring the Spirit Of Ganbare World Tag Team Titles back home. She needs a tag partner though and lucky for her, Shuichiro Katsumura has her back. Ryota Nakatsu & Takumi Tsukamoto aren’t feeling worried about them though.

It’s not official yet but Ken Ohka has been chosen to be Masaaki Mochizuki’s next opponent for the Spirit Of Ganbare World Title after he begged to Michiyoshi Mishima for the opportunity. GanPro want the match to happen at this show but Dragon Gate also has an event going on in Okinawa the same day. Negotiations are under way to get Mochizuki booked for this show.

DDT “BE AMBITIOUS ~AUTUMN BATTLE~”, 30/11/2025
Tokyo Korakuen Hall

1. DDT Extreme Title – Weapon Gamble Match: To-y (c) Vs Sanshiro Takagi
2. KO-D Tag Team Titles: MAO & KANON (c) (w/ KIMIHIRO) Vs Daisuke Sasaki & Hideki Okatani
3. Special Single Match: KONOSUKE TAKESHITA Vs Shinya Aoki
4. KO-D Openweight Title & DDT Universal Title: Yuki Ueno (c/c) Vs Super Sasadango Machine

An extra caveat of the Weapon Rumble is the weapons must be bought using only money that To-y and Sanshiro Takagi have won from gambling in the leadup to the match.

GANBARE☆PRO “BEFORE SUNRISE 2025”, 27/12/2025
Tokyo Korakuen Hall

1. YuuRI 5th Anniversary Match: YuuRI Vs Sareee

It’s been five years of YuuRI but can she make it to six when Sareee is standing in her way?

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “TOKYO JOSHI PRO ’26”, 04/01/2026
Tokyo Korakuen Hall

1. Shoko Nakajima Vs Hyper Misao
2. Princess Of Princess Title: Miu Watanabe (c) Vs Suzume

Ittenyon is getting something completely fresh for its headline match. As far as I know, Miu Watanabe and Suzume have only had two previous singles matches together and they were both in 2022. The next time they go one on one it will be the headline bout at Korakuen Hall with the Princess Of Princess Title on the line!
