Masada Vs Brookes Tomorrow, JTO Visiting D GENERATIONS, Double Title 3 Way In January

December 23, 2025

DDT “HOLY FIGHT NIGHT 2025”, 24/12/2025
Shinjuku FACE

1. Daichi Sato & Yuni Vs Rukiya & Hinata Kasai
2. Daisuke Sasaki, Hideki Okatani, MJ Paul & Demus Vs Yuki Iino, Yukio Naya, Super Sasadango Machine & Soma Takao

4. Special Single Match: KANON (w/ KIMIHIRO) Vs Yuya Koroku
5. Sanshiro Takagi, Jun Akiyama & HARASHIMA Vs Danshoku Dieno, Kazuki Hirata & Akito
6. Special Single Match: Chris Brookes Vs Takeshi Masada
7. Special 6-Man Tag Match: Yuki Ueno, MAO & Kazusada Higuchi Vs To-y, Kazuma Sumi & Yuki Ishida

Some last minute changes to tomorrow’s show have taken place due to the aftermath of Sunday’s show. Takeshi Masada has decided to leave SCHADENFREUDE International in order to start fresh for the new year. Before he leaves the unit on 3rd January, he’s going to face Chris Brookes one on one before he says goodbye.

The above match has led to a change in the main event. Brookes and Masada were originally booked for a tag match against Kazusada Higuchi & Yuki Ishida. Now Higuchi and Ishida are moved into the main event but they will be on different teams. Same goes for Yuki Ueno and To-y as well as MAO and Kazuma Sumi.

DDT “MISSION IN BATTLE ~SHINSHUN KENRAN~”, 25/01/2026
Tokyo Korakuen Hall

1. KO-D Tag Team Titles: MAO & KANON (c) (w/ KIMIHIRO) Vs Yuki Iino & Yukio Naya
2. KO-D Openweight Title & DDT Universal Title – Irregular 3 Way Match: Yuki Ueno (c/c) Vs Daisuke Sasaki Vs Chris Brookes

The problem with having double the championships is you get double the challenges. Yuki Ueno has both Daisuke Sasaki and Chris Brookes wanting to fight him for championships next. Akito came up with a solution to do a 3 Way Match that will last for two falls. The first fall will be for the DDT Universal Title and the second will be for the KO-D Openweight Title!

The time has come for The Apex to try and take back the KO-D Tag Team Titles from Strange Love Connection. SLC won the belts from The Apex last month in Sumo Hall and MAO has been on Yuki Iino’s mind ever since. Yukio Naya and KANON have some singles match history together too.

D GENERATIONS CUP 2026

December 22, 2025

The fourth annual D GENERATIONS CUP tournament will this time crown a No. 1 Contender for the DDT Universal Title. It will consist of two round robin blocks containing five wrestlers each. The two block winners will go on to face each other in the final. Each block match will have a 15 minute time limit. Wins are worth two points, draws are worth one point and no points are rewarded for Double Countouts or No Contests. Head-to-head results will be used as tiebreakers and if that does not work then a playoff will take place to determine the block winner on the same show as the final.

A Block

To-y (2024 Winner)
Daichi Sato
Yuki Ishida
Ilusion
Kazuma Sumi

B Block

6. KO-D Tag Team Titles: MAO & KANON (c) (w/ KIMIHIRO) Vs Jun Masaoka & Gaia Hox
7. KO-D Openweight Title – AXSEED Presents: Yuki Ueno (c) Vs Takeshi Masada

Tomorrow’s match order for the final DDT show in Korakuen Hall for 2025 has been decided on. Takeshi Masada has not done a good job convincing fans he has a chance of beating Yuki Ueno for the KO-D Openweight Title. I don’t think Christmas miracles can work that hard either.

1. Princess Of Princess Title Next Challenger Match: X Vs X

Not long after the dust settles from Watanabe Vs Suzume, a new challenger will be decided for the Princess Title. The match format and number of participants has not been decided yet. Most likely Tokyo Joshi Pro is waiting to see how the results on 4th January will turn out before deciding who deserves a chance at earning a title shot.

Tokyo Ryogoku Kokugikan

1. Princess Of Princess Title: Miu Watanabe (c) Vs X

What has been confirmed is the next No. 1 Contender will get their title match at Sumo Hall for “GRAND PRINCESS ’26”! Watanabe’s current goal is to keep her title reign lasting long enough for her to be the defending champion at Ryogoku. If she gets past Suzume she will then be all clear to make that dream come true.

6. KO-D Tag Team Titles: MAO & KANON (c) (w/ KIMIHIRO) Vs Jun Masaoka & Gaia Hox
7. KO-D Openweight Title – AXSEED Presents: Yuki Ueno (c) Vs Takeshi Masada

The stipulation for the next DDT Extreme Title match was decided over a bizarre online game of Rock Paper Scissors. To-y and Yasu Urano had to post videos of their choices at the same time but they kept ending in ties until Urano finally got the win. He came up with rules that every two minutes a different move will be revealed and the wrestlers need to win the match using that move. The moves will be selected by fan suggestions on Twitter. Countouts and disqualifications still apply and if the match ends in a draw, Urano will officially become the Extreme Champion.

The first nine names were all drawn on one side of the card and the remaining nine were picked to be their opponents. Some of the big pairings to look forward to include Mizuki Vs Rika Tatsumi and Miyu Yamashita Vs Yuki Arai. All of the singles matches on the show will have a 7 minute time limit.

The final Tokyo Joshi Pro of the year will feature the second annual Princess Rumble. 20 competitors will take part including Ram Kaichow as one of the guests. Two mystery wrestlers are part of the lineup but if it’s like last year at least one of them will be revealed before then.

“Twin Magic” might be on the cards with Kakeru Sekiguchi coming back for the show and teaming with Mahiro Kiryu again.

Creative matches galore for the fan appreciation show in January. Classic Hard Hit rules will be in effect for a tag match, invisible wrestlers will show up and Sumicaras puts his valuable “mask” on the line along with his new tag team partner Yunicaras. Can the two of them take the hair of both Daisuke Sasaki & Demus?


BASARA’s End Of Year Lineups, GanPro Mixed Tag Choices, Full TJPW Ittenyon Card

December 15, 2025

BASARA “BASARA 295 ~TAKAGARI 31~”, 27/12/2025
Tokyo Takashimadaira Kumin Center

1. ~Jun-chan’s Grilled Meat Voucher Contest~ East Vs West Knockout Match!: FUMA, Trans-Am ★ Hiroshi, SAGAT, Lil’ Kraken & Takeru Inoue Vs Ryuichi Sekine, Takato Nakano, Masato Kamino, Minoru Fujita & Banana Senga
2. 3 Way Match: Daichi Kazato Vs Ryota Nakatsu Vs Tsutomu Oosugi
3. Iron Fist Tag Team Titles: Kengo Mashimo & Ayumu Honda (c) Vs Takumi Tsukamoto & Daiki Shimomura

A grilled meat restaurant in Tokyo is sponsoring a competition during the show where the winning team will receive meal vouchers. I’m having trouble understanding what the rules are because the translation I am getting is it will consist of two matches followed by a knockout round. I can’t tell if that is correct or not. Whatever way the format turns out, it is possible that it can end before everyone can enter the match somehow.

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

1. Mizuki Watase, Shigehiro Irie, Munetatsu Nakamura & Sentaro Motojima Vs Jun Kasai, Takuya Wada, Tyson Maeguchi & Shota Kawakami
2. Mixed 3-Way Tag Match: Ken Ohka & Mahiro Kiryu Vs Yuna Manase & Takashi Sasaki Vs Moeka Haruhi & Gabai Ji-chan Vs HARUKAZE & Hartley Jackson

6. Spirit Of Ganbare World Openweight Title: Masaaki Mochizuki (c) Vs Keisuke Ishii

The Mixed Tag Match is now a 4 Way thanks to an extra team joining in. The other wrestlers involved all got to pick their partners. Ken Ohka chose Mahiro Kiryu after she earned his respect over playing Mahjong with the Iron Man Heavymetalweight Title on the line. Yuna Manase convinced Takashi Sasaki from FREEDOMS to team with her and the two think they can go all the way to becoming champions together. Moeka Haruhi picked Gabai Ji-chan fully knowing that anyone who lays a finger on her elderly partner will get booed out of the building. The new entry is HARUKAZE who heard that Hartley Jackson wanted to take part in the match with her as his partner which means Lethal Weapon are back together for one night only.

BASARA “BASARA 296 ~UTAGE~”, 28/12/2025

4. Union MAX Title: Ryota Nakatsu (c) Vs Shuji Ishikawa

This is the complete card for BASARA’s final show of the year. I might be in attendance for this if I arrive in Tokyo early enough in the day to get settled in and then comfortably travel to Shin-Kiba.

8. Princess Tag Team Titles: Yuki Kamifuku & Wakana Uehara (c) Vs Yuki Aino & Haru Kazashiro
9. Princess Of Princess Title: Miu Watanabe (c) Vs Suzume

The full lineup for Ittenyon is here. The Magical Sugar Rabbits are back together and teaming up with Yuki Arai for some extra sweetness. They will face what the Love Triangle would look like if Yuki Aino went all Incredible Hulk on everyone. Instead it’s Max The Impaler teaming with Raku & Pom Harajuku. Normally Raku sides with Aja Kong in the monster friendship chart but Kong will be wrestling earlier on the show in a 3 Way Match with Rika Tatsumi and Mahiro Kiryu. At the time of writing, Kiryu is back to being the current Iron Man Champion so expect that belt to come into play. The last time Kong won that title will be six years ago to the day when the match takes place.

Still speaking of Kong, she will be at Sumo Hall in March as well.

BASARA “BASARA 295 ~TAKAGARI 31~”, 27/12/2025
Tokyo Takashimadaira Kumin Center

1. Iron Fist Tag Team Titles: Kengo Mashimo & Ayumu Honda (c) Vs Takumi Tsukamoto & Daiki Shimomura

Last month Daiki Shimomura got to face MJ2 for the Iron Fist Tag Team Titles at a 2AW show. He and Lil’ Kraken lost the match and the champions have no interest in fighting him again despite his demand for another shot. However Shimomura will have Takumi Tsukamoto as his partner this time and he is the kind of wrestler Kengo Mashimo & Ayumu Honda like to fight.

BASARA “BASARA 296 ~UTAGE~”, 28/12/2025
Shin-Kiba 1st RING

1. Union MAX Title: Ryota Nakatsu (c) Vs Shuji Ishikawa

3. Special 6-Man Tag Match: Sanshiro Takagi, Jun Kasai & Ippanjin Munenori Sawa Vs Yuji Nagata, Kuroshio TOKYO Japan & Fuminori Abe

Another DDT throwback shows back for Super Japan’s next show. In the early 2000s Phantom Funakoshi wrestled in DDT using a masked gimmick called “Showa”. Now many years later Super Japan is debuting a “Showa” II who has inherited the gimmick alongside a new tag team partner named “Reiwa”. The two of them will be MIKAMI & Takashi Sasaki’s opponents.

BAKA GAIJIN + FRIENDS “VOL. 27: THE NIGHT THEY CAME HOME”, 13/01/2026
Tokyo ARENA Shimokitazawa

1. Special Single Match: Tokyo Ganesha Vs Princess Ram
2. Special Single Match: Chris Brookes Vs Shota

Recently Chris Brookes and Shota got to hang out in Malaysia together and got to reminisce about Brookes coming to Japan back in 2020. Both have grown a lot since then and they are approaching six years of being friends so they’re going to have a match against each other to celebrate.

A masked wrestler from India named Tokyo Ganesha first appeared last year in Michinoku Pro for their signature Fukumen World League tournament. He has made a handful of appearances in both M-Pro and ChocoPro (oh, I wonder why?) since then and will next make his debut for Baka Gaijin + Friends. His opponent will be Princess Ram.

Mr. Bueno, MAO and Dark King Ueki will all be on the show.

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “GRAND PRINCESS ’26”, 29/03/2026

A special PR ambassador has been hired for the show. Super Sasadango Machine will be providing his skills to help promote TJPW’s return to Sumo Hall.


Yuni Returns, A Preview For 3rd January, KO-D 10-Man Tag Team Titles Dusted Off

5. Special Tag Match: Yuki Ueno & Akito Vs Takeshi Masada & Yuki Ishida
6. Special Tag Match: MAO & KANON (w/ KIMIHIRO) Vs HARASHIMA & Kazuma Sumi

That was a nice week long break from DDT shows to recharge a few batteries. They’re back on Sunday to kick off the remaining shows for the year. Strange Love Connection get the main event spot here because they are in Miyagi which is MAO’s neck of the woods.

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

6. KO-D Tag Team Titles: MAO & KANON (c) (w/ KIMIHIRO) Vs Jun Masaoka & Gaia Hox
7. KO-D Openweight Title – AXSEED Presents: Yuki Ueno (c) Vs Takeshi Masada

The KO-D Openweight Title match is being sponsored by an electrical company named AXSEED. The company already utilizes Super Sasadango Machine as a spokesman for one of their security products so maybe this was set up back when he had a chance to become the champion. Maybe it can make sense for Takeshi Masada too.

After a four month hiatus to focus on his education, Yuni returns to DDT on 21st December. He passed his college entry exams and has been accepted into Sophia University in Tokyo. For Yuni’s return he has been added to the dark match just to help him get his feet wet again.

Ueno & To-y have a preview tag match against two of their challengers MAO & Kazuma Sumi to warm them all up for the new year. KANON’s preparations are being done with a singles match against Yuya Koroku.

All of DAMNATION T.A in its current form will be together to challenge the champions.

To whoever wanted to see a reunion of The Sailor Boys you are getting your wish for the holidays. Super Japan have decided to book Taiji Ishimori and get him back together with The Brahman Brothers. It looks like they will get to stick to their current personas but Ishimori did previously come to terms with his embarrassing past gimmick before. He learned to embrace it to avoid having mind games played against him. To add even more Toryumon flavour to the match, the three of them will be facing three other men who carry the “Dragon Gene” inside them: Shuji Kondo, Ken Ohka & Mac Matsushita.

The Unofficial Extreme Champion, Ilusion Vs Kumadori, GanPro Invites Some Pals Over For New Year’s

December 5, 2025

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

0. Dark Match: Soma Takao & Kazuma Sumi Vs Daichi Sato & Rukiya
1. Daisuke Sasaki, Hideki Okatani, Demus & Ilusion Vs Toru Owashi, Danshoku Dieno, Super Sasadango Machine & Kazuki Hirata
2. 3 Way 6-Man Tag Match: Shinya Aoki, Yuki Iino & Yukio Naya Vs Kazusada Higuchi, Naomi Yoshimura & Yuki Ishida Vs Chris Brookes, Antonio Honda & Hinata Kasai
3. Special Tag Match: Minoru Suzuki & Akito Vs Jun Akiyama & Yuya Koroku
4. Special Tag Match: Yuji Nagata & Sanshiro Takagi Vs HARASHIMA & Kaisei Takechi
5. DDT Extreme Title: To-y (c) Vs Yasu Urano
6. KO-D Tag Team Titles: MAO & KANON (c) (w/ KIMIHIRO) Vs Jun Masaoka & Gaia Hox
7. KO-D Openweight Title: Yuki Ueno (c) Vs Takeshi Masada

Some thievery as led to a confusing situation over the DDT Extreme Title. Earlier in the week Yasu Urano stole the title belt from To-y and then beat him in an unofficial match to declare himself the new champion. However the match and “title change” was not sanctioned by DDT so To-y remains the champion. The problem is To-y isn’t feeling like a champion right now because that loss to Urano still feels real to him. It doesn’t helpt that Urano is acting like the champ too and is willing to “defend” the belt against To-y, advising him to forget everything that has happened up to now and to take on a challenger’s mindset. For clarification, To-y is still the champ and if he wins here it will be the 6th successful defence of his reign (even though he wonders if his number of defences has been reset).

DDT is giving everyone the early Christmas treat of Minoru Suzuki fighting Jun Akiyama in a tag match.

DDT “HOLY FIGHT NIGHT 2025”, 24/12/2025
Shinjuku FACE

1. Special Single Match: Ilusion Vs Kumadori

It’s taken a while for this match to happen. Ilusion Vs Kumadori was meant to take place back in July but a knee injury suffered by Kumadori cancelled it. The grudge between the two took some time to resurface but the last couple of weeks have sped it up to where the match can finally take place. Christmas Eve is the date for these two masked men to settle their differences one on one.

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

1. Mizuki Watase, Shigehiro Irie, Munetatsu Nakamura & Sentaro Motojima Vs Jun Kasai, Takuya Wada, Tyson Maeguchi & Shota Kawakami
2. Shuichiro Katsumura Vs Akira Shoji
3. YuuRI 5th Anniversary Match: YuuRI Vs Sareee
4. Spirit Of Ganbare World Tag Team Titles: Ryota Nakatsu & Takumi Tsukamoto (c) Vs Yumehito Imanari & Shinichiro Tominaga
5. Spirit Of Ganbare World Openweight Title: Masaaki Mochizuki (c) Vs Keisuke Ishii

Two guest wrestlers have been added to the show. It looks like Akira Shoji will stick around in Ganbare☆Pro for more than just one match. He’ll be at Korakuen Hall to test out Shuichiro Katsumura’s grappling skills. Also the GanPro Vs FREEDOMS rivarly is relaxed for the holidays, allowing Jun Kasai take part in an 8-Man Tag match filled with GanPro associated wrestlers on both teams.

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “GRAND PRINCESS ’26”, 29/03/2026
Tokyo Ryogoku Kokugikan

Three returning guests have been announced for the show so far. They are Yuka Sakazaki, Sareee and Lei Ying Lee. At the moment Lee is the TNA Knockouts World Champion and is being promoted as such by Tokyo Joshi Pro. The title has been defended in TJPW once before in Las Vegas earlier this year so maybe Japan can be where it gets defended in the company for a second time.


DDT “GO UPDATE 2025” Results

December 3, 2025

DDT “GO UPDATE 2025”, 03/12/2025
Shinjuku FACE
??? Fans

1. Soma Takao & Shota defeated Yuya Koroku & Hinata Kasai when Takao pinned Kasai with the Mad Splash (8:31).
2. Chris Brookes & Antonio Honda defeated Danshoku Dieno & Kazuki Hirata when Honda pinned Hirata with the Analgitsune (10:52).
3. The Apex Vs DAMNATION T.A!: Yuki Iino & Yukio Naya defeated Hideki Okatani & Demus when Naya pinned Demus with The World’s Best Back Drop (9:55).
4. Special 6-Man Tag Match: Daisuke Sasaki, MJ Paul & Ilusion defeated HARASHIMA, Akito & Kumadori when Ilusion pinned Kumadori with the Swanton Bomb (11:14).
5. Kazusada Higuchi, Naomi Yoshimura & Yuki Ishida defeated Jun Akiyama, Sanshiro Takagi & Tomomitsu Matsunaga when Ishida pinned Matsunaga with the Buchikamashi (8:18).
6. Special 6-Man Tag Match: Jun Masaoka, Gaia Hox & Rukiya defeated MAO, KANON (w/ KIMIHIRO) & Kazuma Sumi when Masaoka pinned Sumi after the F-DRIVE II (13:37).
7. Special Tag Match: Yuki Ueno & To-y defeated Takeshi Masada & Yasu Urano by Referee Stoppage when Ueno used the Blackout Sleeper on Masada (22:07).

A decisive victory for Yuki Ueno over Takeshi Masada results in a growing cloud that is hovering over Masada’s KO-D Openweight Title shot. He is already fighting to prove he is a deserving challenger after winning a Rock Paper Scissors tournament to earn the shot. Also the promos he is currently cutting to convince everyone he can win are not convincing Ueno. So when Ueno choked out Masada with the Blackout Sleeper in the main event, Masada tried to start another fight after being revived only to be held back by the others. Ueno was happy to see him showing some spirit but told him that being the champion means more than just wearing the title belt around your waist and defending it in matches. The champion needs to carry everything in the company on their shoulders, including the fans and the opponents. It will be up to Masada to fight Ueno using his own style of wrestling and nothing else. Masada said in that brief moment he was unconscious, he had a dream where he was wearing the KO-D Title. He promised to win the title with all of his might for everyone who supports him.

The main event also had a situation take place over the DDT Extreme Title. After the match Yasu Urano offered to wrap the belt around To-y’s waist in a show of good sportsmanship but he then pulled the belt off him and ran off with it! Urano then approached Akito at the very end of the show to tell him he is the new champion. To-y came back out complaining that Urano stole the belt so Akito decided there will be a title match between To-y and Urano on 21st December. However Urano asked the fans if there is a better time for him to “defend” the title. The fans shouted to do it now so Urano told Yukinori Matsui to come in and start the match! Urano quickly won with a Backslide Pin but Akito told him it was not an unofficial title bout and you cannot win the Extreme Title the same way you would the Iron Man Heavymetalweight Title. He told Urano to hand the belt back to To-y and they will have the official title match on the 21st. However To-y was confused because he just “lost” a match and he now feels like a challenger instead of the champion. Urano decided to keep the belt for himself as the unofficial champion, then told To-y to forget everything that happened up to now and change his attitude into that of a challenger.

Unlike Masada and To-y, the F-SWAG tag team are overly confident that they will win the KO-D Tag Team Titles from Strange Love Connection in one shot. They have friends who work in DDT, some of whom are currently injured and others who are wrestling abroad. They would love nothing more than to defend the tag belts against them in the future. Jun Masaoka believes DDT will be more fun if F-SWAG become the champs while Gaia Hox has been waiting so long to be a part of DDT. F-SWAG came off looking better than the champs in today’s 6-Man Tag Match and shot another warning that they aren’t just here to have fun. However MAO thinks he and KANON are both bigger and faster than their opponents so the physical difference between the two teams will be the deciding factor on 21st December.

The cancelled Kumadori Vs Ilusion singles match is back on the menu, boys! During Match #4 Ilusion gave Kumadori several kinds of low blows on the way to pinning him with the Swanton Bomb. Then afterwards he got on the microphone to demand a singles match against him on Christmas Eve! He dared Kumadori to stand before him without using lame excuses like injuries or illnesses. Kumadori said he will beat Ilusion to a pulp when he finally gets his hands on him one on one.

A new song from NωA Jr. called “Fukanzen NEXT” will be released on 21st December. It was also announced that the band P-manjiken will be performing at their concert on 23rd December. That is the band that made Shunma Katsumata’s entrance song.
