*To-y wins Viento Levante’s Right To Challenge Anytime, Anywhere Gauntlet.
Next week DDT will be back in Sumo Hall for their big show of the summer. Today’s show was pretty much a last chance for everyone to get ready for Ryogoku. The main event served as a preview for both the KO-D Openweight Title match as well as the KO-D 6-Man Tag Team Titles match. And just for a little bit extra, the result meant one of the Right To Challenge Gauntlets changed hands as well. Strange Love Connection focused a bit too much on the paleyouth although MAO’s target was Yuki Ueno. It was the The 37KAMIINA that made the difference but barely so. To-y was able to counter a double team move from MAO & Viento Levante and through that counter pinned Levante to win the match. That means To-y now holds a Gauntlet that he could cash in on Ueno if he wanted to. Ueno asked him to wait until after “WRESTLE PETER PAN 2026” because he’s looking forward wrestling MAO for the title first. MAO warned Ueno that he’s become so strong he might hurt him. He cannot stand in the ring unless he becomes the KO-D Champion but at least he’ll have fun while beating Ueno. Takeshi Masada then warned that paleyouth will be looking to crush Levante at Sumo Hall.
The KO-D Tag Team Champions are feeling mixed over their match today. FANTÔMES DRAMATIC lost but HARASHIMA noted that neither he nor Chris Brookes took the fall against Junta Miyawaki. HARASHIMA wonders just how much Miyawaki and Shinya Aoki have both grown but he also expects the title match at Ryogoku will be fun. Aoki overheard him say that backstage and accused HARASHIMA of becoming complacent. Miyawaki said he wants to beat HARASHIMA for the titles and then walk down the RIZIN entrance aisle with Aoki carrying the KO-D Tag Title belts!
Kazuki Hirata offered to help Danshoku Dieno get ready for YAMATO because beating Hirata in only a couple of seconds doesn’t prepare anybody for much. He knows YAMATO hates the Danshoku style so he came up with an idea to have Dieno chase him around the ring, thinking it will improve Dieno’s speed to use against YAMATO. Hirata also had a trick up his sleeve to wrap tape around Dieno’s tights so he couldn’t remove them and do the Danshoku Driver. Dieno could still use the Lip Lock though and ended up catching Hirata with the move.
The other standard Right To Challenge Gauntlet changed hands when Hideki Okatani pinned Shunma Katsumata in a tag match. This came after the two fought each other with chairs while Daisuke Sasaki rendered Masami Inahata useless with a Low Blow. Okatani got the better of Katsumata and now has a Gauntlet he can cash in.
The longstanding feud of the GMs could be heading towards a thrilling finale. Tetsuya Koda showed up to team with wrestlers from DAMNATION T.A, which means today he was DAMNATION T.K! was able to defend the Iron Man Heavymetalweight Title against Hisaya Imabayashi in a 6-Man Tag Match. But after the match Imabayashi faked a handshake to kick Koda below the belt and knock him down with the Uraken Backfist. Imabayashi won the belt and told Koda that all of their matches against each other going back to August 2017 have happened in Shinjuku FACE. Since the building is shutting down soon Imabayashi challenged Koda to a final showdown in the venue on the 14th August Beer Garden show. Koda accepted and told Imabayashi to hold onto the title because not only does Koda want the belt back but the loser should immediately retire! Imabayashi accepted the challenge only for Ilusion to suddenly roll him over and pin him to win the Iron Man Title.
The paleyouth and SLC teams involved in the KO-D 6-Man Tag Titles match had a contract signing ceremony at the start of the show. Yukio Naya said he is putting his entire support towards Levante winning the match for their team so he can prove he is not weak. KANON is more focused on stopped paleyouth from breaking the record for most KO-D 6-Man Tag Title defences. The reason is KANON currently ties the record with paleyouth. Levante admitted his talk has been week leading up to the match and he feels he has no choice but to win. Masada made a request to DDT that the match be placed as the opening bout for “WRESTLE PETER PAN 2026” because he thinks paleyouth breaking the most defences record would be a special moment for the show. Yuya Koroku heard about KANON’s goal in the match and made it his mission to target him in order to break the record. Daichi Sato wants to outshine Naya in the match so that whenever wrestling fans think of heavyweights in DDT, they will think of Sato instead of Naya. All of paleyouth (including Bunbun) promised to work harder than ever before.

The Tokyo Idol Festival is over and Tetsuya Koda has come out of it as the Iron Man Heavymetalweight Champion. The Tokyo Joshi Pro boss pulling off this stunt does not impress the DDT GM Hisaya Imabayashi. The two authority figures have been at each other’s throats on and off for years. The Iron Man Champion is meant to be wrestling on tomorrow’s DDT show which means Koda now has to take part. Such an idea is insulting to Imabayashi so he is adding himself to the match in response to this so he can teach Koda a lesson that DDT is not the place for amateurs in their fifties!
Going into tomorrow’s show the Right To Challenge holders are Shunma Katsumata (Red), Viento Levante (Blue) and KANON (Purple).
TOKYO JOSHI PRO “THE 13TH TOKYO PRINCESS CUP”, 08/08/2026

6. 13th Tokyo Princess Cup – Quarter Final: Arisu Endo Vs HIMAWARI
7. 13th Tokyo Princess Cup – Quarter Final: Rika Tatsumi Vs Hyper Misao
We’re currently on a little break from the Tokyo Princess Cup until it resumes with the Quarter Finals this weekend. Rika Tatsumi and Hyper Misao are back in the ring against each other so soon after their Princess Tag Team Titles feud last month. The other end of the bracket has Suzume against Shoko Nakajima in what is sure to be a barnburner. HIMAWARI can set off a Cinderella run if she can defeat last year’s finalist Arisu Endo. The same could be said for Toga if her frozen demeaner doesn’t melt against Yuki Aino’s fire. After this round the brackets will get jumbled up for the final four which makes predicting this round a little bit more difficult than it looks on paper.
DDT “KANDA MYOJIN CULTURAL EXCHANGE PRESENTS AFTER PETER PAN ~RYOGOKU AFTER PARTY~”, 17/08/2026
Tokyo Kanda Myojin Hall
1. New Generation Variety Team Discovery Audition Match: Danshoku Dieno Vs Kazuki Hirata Vs Antonio Honda Vs Kazuma Sumi Vs Yuki Ishida Vs Rukiya Vs Masami Inahata Vs Hinata Kasai
2. Super Sasadango Machine Title: Super Sasadango Machine (c) Vs Ilusion
I think there have been times in the past when Muscle Sakai would defend the championship belt he wears around his waist but I can’t remember a time when Super Sasadango Machine has ever done it in DDT. That changes when the belt labelled King Of Sasadango it put on the line against Ilusion.
The DDT comedy wrestlers are looking for new additions to their “Variety Team”. They are holding an audition and it is mandatory for the wrestlers they invited to take part in it.
This DDT show is going to be a small one because it is more like a fan event with some matches taking place rather than a full on wrestling show. Only one more match is planned to be added to the card.
BASARA “BASARA 314 ~UTAGE~”, 21/08/2026
Shin-Kiba 1st RING
1. Union MAX Title: Takumi Tsukamoto (c) Vs Daiki Shimomura
The new Union MAX Champion already has challengers lined up for him. When Takumi Tsukamoto held a 7-match Gauntlet to prepare himself for his title shot the only wrestler he dropped a fall to was Daiki Shimomura. Now is the time for Shimomura to call his shot and get a title match with his former tag team partner.

2. Hardcore Tag Match: MAO & Shunma Katsumata Vs Jun Kasai & Chris Brookes
Just imagine the mess everyone will have to clean up after the Hardcore Match. Jun Kasai takes part in his first “FUCKED UP FEST” to join Chris Brookes so they can fight ShunMao together.
TOKYO JOSHI PRO “THE 13TH TOKYO PRINCESS CUP”, 23/08/2026
Tokyo Korakuen Hall
1. Yuki Kamifuku & Wakana Uehara Vs Sumire Natsu & Mifu Ashida
2. 13th Tokyo Princess Cup – Final: X Vs X
This doesn’t look like it would be a tough challenge for Ober Eats. After all, Yuki Kamifuku already knows how effective it is to use makeup remover against opponents who are caked in the stuff. Sumire Natsu is like 80% makeup and 20% human at this point! Best stick Wakana Uehara and Mifu Ashida in there to make sure things don’t get too catty between Kamiyu and Natsu.

They will be on after Sendai Girls that day.

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “THE 13TH TOKYO PRINCESS CUP”, 30/07/2026
Shinjuku FACE
361 Fans – No Vacancy
1. Yuki Kamifuku, Sakura Hattori & Momo Sato defeated Chika Nanase, Ren Konatsi & Shion Kanzaki when Hattori submitted Kanzaki with the Shinden Fudo Ryu Majime Ura (10:20).
2. Miyu Yamashita & Haru Kazashiro defeated Mizuki & Shino Suzuki when Kazashiro submitted Suzuki with the Izayoi (11:16).
3. Rika Tatsumi, Arisu Endo, Wakana Uehara & Uta Takami defeated Hyper Misao, Raku, HIMAWARI & Mifu Ashida when Tatsumi pinned Ashida with the Sliding Hip (10:36).
4. 13th Tokyo Princess Cup – Round 2: Toga defeated Mahiro Kiryu with the Absolute Zero (7:57).
5. 13th Tokyo Princess Cup – Round 2: Suzume defeated Pom Harajuku with the Ring A Bell (9:23).
6. 13th Tokyo Princess Cup – Round 2: Yuki Aino defeated Miu Watanabe with the Full Nelson Of Love And Fire Z (9:23).
7. 13th Tokyo Princess Cup – Round 2: Shoko Nakajima defeated Yuki Arai with a Scorpion Death Lock Counter (15:32).
The second round of the Tokyo Princess Cup ends with its two of its biggest favorites both eliminated! The reigning Princess Of Princess Champion is gone after Yuki Arai suffered a close defeat against Shoko Nakajima. Arai pulled out something big for the match, using a Twisting Superplex off the top rope. She also blocked Nakajima from doing the Locomotion Northern Lights Suplex before switching to Big Boots to try and keep her opponent down. Nakajima took the attacks and turned things around with a Frankensteiner followed by the 619. She looked to have made a grave mistake when she went for the Diving Senton and Arai rolled out of the way. Arai then went to apply the Scorpion Death Lock but Nakajima grabbed hold of her and cradled her into a pinfall for the three count. After the match Nakajima talked about recently turning 35 years old and it’s getting more difficult for her to win as both she and Tokyo Joshi Pro grow older. But fighting Arai today reminds her of how fun TJPW is. Right now she just wants to go home and sleep but tomorrow TJPW has an entire weekend of matches happening at the Tokyo Idol Festival outside in the blazing sun. Meanwhile Arai is disappointed she won’t make the final four of the tournament like she’s often done in the past. It’s also her first singles loss of the year. She thinks she hasn’t defended the Princess Title enough so she will train like crazy while waiting for the eventual Princess Cup winner to challenge her.
Last year’s Princess Cup winner Miu Watanabe is out too! Yuki Aino is the one who can claim to have beaten the unstoppable monster princess by adapting her finishing move into an improved version. She got Watanabe in the Full Nelson Of Love And Fire but Watanabe fought her hardest to try and break out of it. Aino was able to keep her opponent in the hold and drag her down to the mat where she tangled her up even more until Watanabe gave up. Aino calls this version of the move the Full Nelson Of Love And Fire Z because it is the ultimate form of her finisher so the letter Z was the only suitable thing she could add to the end of it. Watanabe said she was confident going into the match because she has beaten Aino more often than she’s lost to her. She is sad over losing but wants everyone to know this cannot be the end of the monster princess and she will always be one forever!
Pom Harajuku was going to hunt for bees today and tried to fight off Suzume with a butterfly net and a small insect cage. When she quickly realised those tools weren’t going to work she ran off and returned in a full beekeeping outfit! She chased Suzume around ringside with a large net and eventually caught her. She then dragged Suzume over to the timekeeper’s table where she taped her hands to the stage in an attempt to have her counted out. Suzume was able to free herself and get back in the ring with little trouble. In the meantime Harajuku took off the beekeeper suit and forced Uta Takami to wear it as a decoy. Suzume fell for the trick and tried to grab Takami, thinking it was Harajuku. The School Boy from the actual Harajuku afterwards only got a two count and Suzume quickly took control back of the match. Harajuku put the suit back on one more time and took a big swing with the net but Suzume dodged it, pulled the outfit over Harajuku’s face to blind her and then hit the Ring A Bell to win the match. Suzume will face Shoko Nakajima in the Quarter Finals. She remembers losing to Nakajima in the 1st Round a few years ago (2023) and said it was a match where she felt she really evolved at the time. She wants to grow even bigger so she won’t lose to the Big Kaiju. Harajuku explained she only wanted to study Suzume for her summer vacation project and she would have killed two birds with one stone if she won the match as well. It was an upgraded tactic of something she used against Suzume before but she didn’t think Suzume would have been upgraded as well. So the next time they fight Harajuku says she’ll bring a flamethrower to beat Suzume!
Waiting for Yuki Aino in the Quarter Finals is Toga. She took Mahiro Kiryu’s best shot and has now reached the furthest she has ever gotten in the tournament. Kiryu’s blew her big chance when she tried to do the Apology Knee Drop from the second rope Vader Bomb style. Toga got out of the way and then countered the Spinebuster into the Absolute Zero for the win. Toga is happy to have surpassed one of her seniors but expects Aino to be a tougher opponent. She doesn’t like the heat while Aino is all about being passionate like fire. Maybe Toga will need to absorb that passion in order to advance further. Kiryu said her theme for the tournament was “Now’s The Time!” Except she never seized the moment and she only has herself to blame.
Hyper Misao based her strategy for today’s 8-Woman Tag Match on her Quarter Final opponent Rika Tatsumi. She was once told by someone she respects that the most important thing for pro wrestlers is 90% the ring entrance and 10% the match itself. So Misao’s team would attack and dispose of Tatsumi’s tag partners when they enter the ring one by one, leaving Tatsumi in a 4 Vs 1 disadvantage. Tatsumi’s team were ambushed and trapped underneath the ring apron while Misao’s team went wild on Tatsumi. She was eventually able to find her team and free them so the match could continue on as a fair fight. Tatsumi won the match and afterward tried to pin Raku for the Iron Man Heavymetalweight Title as they were all leaving ringside. Raku kicked out and escaped with the belt. Raku later told reporters she is looking forward to the Tokyo Idol Festival this weekend because she wants to take a nap using the title as a pillow underneath the blue sky.
Today is Shino Suzuki’s first match back since taking a two month break for recovery reasons. Although she lost her match, everyone else involved were all happy to have her back.
A new match was made for the 23rd August Korakuen Hall show. Ober Eats will be getting back together so they can face the team of Mifu Ashida & Sumire Natsu!

At the moment Raku is currently the Iron Man Heavymetalweight Champion and so would have to take part in Match #3. DDT isn’t counting on her enough to remain champ by the time the show begins so the marketing for Match #3 is just whoever is champion on 5th August will be in the match teaming with Ilusion.

This September Shinjuku FACE will be closing down after 21 years of hosting wrestling shows and other events inside the heart of Tokyo’s nightlife. The final week of the venue’s business will consist of 12 shows from different wrestling promotions and personalities. It is called the Shinjuku FACE Countdown Series and below is the schedule of events for those who would like to keep track of it.
The final event is taking place on Shinjuku FACE’s last day of business. The show is being produced by DDT and CyberFight, similar to last year’s 20th Anniversary event. That was pretty much a glorified DDT lineup with special guests from other companies added in so I expect the series finale to be something along those lines.

DDT “WRESTLE PETER PAN 2026”, 11/08/2026
Tokyo Ryogoku Kokugikan
1. Iron Man Heavymetalweight Title – Time Delayed Entry Battle Royal: Raku (c) Vs Yuki Iino Vs Toru Owashi Vs Akito Vs Soma Takao Vs Fuminori Abe Vs Naomi Yoshimura Vs Super Sasadango Machine Vs MJ Paul Vs Ilusion Vs Yuni Vs Yuki Ishida Vs Masami Inahata

4. KO-D 6-Man Tag Team Titles: Takeshi Masada, Yuya Koroku & Daichi Sato (c) Vs KANON, Yukio Naya & Viento Levante (w/ KIMIHIRO & YUZUKI)
5. KO-D Tag Team Titles: Chris Brookes & HARASHIMA (c) Vs Shinya Aoki & Junta Miyawaki
6. Special Single Match: YAMATO Vs Danshoku Dieno
7. Special Tag Match: Daisuke Sasaki & DOUKI Vs Antonio Honda & Tetsuya Endo
8. DDT Extreme Title: Hideki Okatani (c) Vs Shunma Katsumata
9. DDT Universal Title: Kazuma Sumi (c) Vs Ryusuke Taguchi
10. Dramatic Dream Match: KONOSUKE TAKESHITA Vs Kaisei Takechi
11. KO-D Openweight Title – Goodcom Asset Presents: Yuki Ueno (c) Vs MAO
This is the full lineup for “WRESTLE PETER PAN 2026” but the match order has not been decided yet outside of the main event. Yuki Ueno got one over on MAO this past weekend by making him tap out to a Sleeper Hold. He thinks MAO isn’t hitting the heights of his potential for what should be the most important KO-D Openweight Title challenge of his career. MAO is certain he still has that crazy side of himself, it’s just that he has matured a little bit so he can be ready to become DDT’s champion.
There is a shadow following Hideki Okatani’s reign as DDT Extreme Champion that he needs to vanquish next. He needs to defend the belt against Shunma Katsumata! They have fought over the title two times before with Katsumata winning both times as champion. The first match in 2023 was an important stepstone for Okatani because it was his entry into hardcore wrestling. That match was also where Katsumata injured his leg and had to vacate the title afterwards. When he returned and won it back in 2024, Okatani was one of Katsumata’s first defences during that title reign.
A partnership forged in fire has made Shinya Aoki & Junta Miyawaki decide to chase after the KO-D Tag Team Titles together. They previously fought Chris Brookes & HARASHIMA for No. 1 Contendership over the titles back in March. FANTÔMES DRAMATIC won that match and went on to become the champions so there is plenty of setup for the rematch.
DDT are giving Hinata Kasai a tough challenge if he wants to get his first win while teaming with his dad Jun Kasai. They will take on Jun Akiyama and his DDT protege Rukiya.
Minoru Suzuki & Sanshiro Takagi are joining forces after years of being enemies inside the ring, outside the ring, at an empty Tokyo Dome and even on a bullet train. The strength of their alliance will depend on how annoying Kazuki Hirata & To-y will be in front of them.
Speaking of bullet trains, Raku now holds the Iron Man Heavymetalweight Title. Whoever enters the Battle Royal as the champion will get a bullet train pass for one year to use whenever DDT books them for shows held outside of Tokyo. I’m not sure if that also applies to Tokyo Joshi Pro if Raku gets the prize.
DDT “FIGHTING BEER GARDEN 2026 IN SHINJUKU 【FINAL COUNTDOWN 3】”, 13/08/2026
Shinjuku FACE
0. Special Dark Match: Ilusion Vs Yoshihiko
1. Rock ‘N’ Roll 4 Way Death Match: Antonio Honda Vs Kazuki Hirata Vs Junta Miyawaki Vs To-y
2. Enter Sandman Match: Yuki Ueno Vs MAO Vs Daisuke Sasaki Vs Takeshi Masada Vs Danshoku Dieno Vs Super Sasadango Machine
The final set of Beer Garden shows to be held in Shinjuku FACE will happen in August and the usual match gimmicks will be held there. Miyawaki gets to join in the Rock ‘N’ Roll Death Match for the first time. Ilusion and Yoshihiko are also having a pre-show rematch of their Korakuen Hall dark match from April. Last but not least, Kumadori will be on the show.
DDT “THE FINAL SHINJUKU FACE BEER GARDEN PRO WRESTLING”, 14/08/2026
Shinjuku FACE
1. Special Single Match ~ I’m You, You’re Me: Daisuke Sasaki Vs Fake Daisuke Sasaki
2. Our LariPro ’26: Keisuke Ishii, Danshoku Dieno & Junta Miyawaki Vs Shunma Katsumata, Yuki Iino & Kazuki Hirata
3. Unit Shuffle! Special 6-Man Tag Match: Yuki Ueno, MAO & HARASHIMA Vs Chris Brookes, KANON & To-y
It’s up to Daisuke Sasaki to deal with the fake forms of himself that have been showing up recently. Keisuke Ishii gets to host his Lariat Pro Wrestling match in Shinjuku FACE for one last time.
GANBARE☆PRO “IT’S A SUMMER FILM 2026”, 15/08/2026
Tokyo Korakuen Hall
1. Keisuke Ishii, SUSHI & Sentaro Motoshima Vs Shinichiro Tominaga, Guts Ishijima & Shota Kawakami
2. Moeka Haruhi Vs Rydeen Hagane
3. Yumehito Imanari Vs Hyo Ogawa
4. Ken Ohka 25th Anniversary Match Part 2: Ken Ohka, Masashi Takeda & Akira Shoji Vs Chris Brookes, Isami Kodaka & Fuminori Abe
5. Special Single Match: YuuRI Vs Takumi Iroha
6. Spirit Of Ganbare World Tag Team Titles: Takuya Wada & Tyson Maeguchi (c) Vs Shuichiro Katsumura & Yuya Susumu
7. Spirit Of Ganbare World Openweight Title: Mizuki Watase (c) Vs Shigehiro Irie
The Toyama Army that Ken Ohka’s been gathering together has a new member. Masashi Takeda is not from Toyama but apparantly his dad is and he’s visited the area enough times in his life to qualify for membership. There is no disputing that Akira Shoji is part of the team.
Moeka Haruhi and Rydeen Hagane were not on the same page during their tag match over the weekend. They blamed each other for losing that match so the obvious direction to go is have them wrestle each other to settle their differences.
BAKA GAIJIN + FRIENDS “FUCKED UP FEST 2026”, 22/08/2026
Tokyo Oji BASEMENT MONSTAR
1. SEKIFUDA 1 YEAR OF BAKA ~ Special Single Match: Kota Sekifuda Vs Minoru Suzuki
It’s been over a year since Kota Sekifuda left Big Japan to go freelance. The first anniversary of his debut in Baka Gaijin + Friends is happening in August too so his present is a match against Minoru Suzuki.
The live music lineup for “FUCKED UP FEST 2026” includes a lot of bands with wrestlers in it. They are Dos Quatro (MAO), Daisetz (Antonio Honda), NωA Jr. (Shunma Katsumata, Kazuma Sumi & Yuni), Channel D (Daisuke Sasaki) and Super P And The Space Bandits (Filipino wrestler Super P). So those might be the clues as to who else will be wrestling on the show.

Something to keep an eye on in the next couple of months is Shinya Aoki’s placement on the cards. He’s gone through some recent changes with his MMA contracts and now has a big RIZIN fight coming up in early September. He may disappear from DDT altogether to focus on training for the fight or DDT may set up something to help promote him down the line.
The current Right To Challenge Gauntlet holders heading into Korakuen Hall are Shunma Katsumata (Red), Viento Levante (Blue) and Rukiya (Purple AAAA).

7. 13th Tokyo Princess Cup – Round 2A: Miyu Yamashita Vs Rika Tatsumi
There was nothing really shocking coming out of the first round but Round 2 of the Tokyo Princess Cup is going to serve up a few big casualties. One half of the bracket will be getting ready for Saturday where Miyu Yamashita and Rika Tatsumi will have their first single match against each other since the summer of 2021.
One of the non-tournament matches is purposely pitting Yuki Kamifuku against the trio of teenagers. She’s either going to teach them all a valuable lesson or spend the match battling the reality of aging.

4. 13th Tokyo Princess Cup – Round 2H: Yuki Arai Vs Shoko Nakajima
The other half of the bracket has Yuki Arai against Shoko Nakajima as the highlight although Miu Watanabe and Yuki Aino are probably going keeping Shoulder Blocking each other until one of them falls down.

1. Special Single Match: Danshoku Dieno Vs Kazuki Hirata
2. Special Tag Match: Sanshiro Takagi & Naomi Yoshimura Vs Ilusion & Iron Man Heavymetalweight Champion

This wll be the last DDT show before “WRESTLE PETER PAN 2026” and likely where we find out who will go into the show as the Iron Man Heavymetalweight Champion. Whoever the champion is must first take part in a tag match with Ilusion as their tag partner. If the champion is a wrestler who is already on the show then they must still compete in the match, therefore becoming double booked! But what will happen if the champion turns out to be either Sanshiro Takagi or Naomi Yoshimura?

DDT “FIGHTING BEER GARDEN 2026 IN SHINJUKU 【FINAL COUNTDOWN 2】”, 16/07/2026
Shinjuku FACE
??? Fans – Unannounced
1. Soma Takao & Yuki Ishida defeated Kazuma Sumi & Yuni when Ishida pinned Yuni with the Ensho (7:29).
2. Special Tag Match: Shunma Katsumata & To-y defeated Daisuke Sasaki & Mikiya Sasaki when To-y pinned Mikiya with a School Boy (10:18).
3. DAMNATION T.A Vs STRANGE LOVE CONNECTION!: Yuki Iino, Yukio Naya & Viento Levante (w/ KIMIHIRO & YUZUKI) defeated Hideki Okatani, Ilusion & MJ Paul when Levante pinned Paul by Referee Stoppage with a Body Lock Sleeper Hold (13:27).
4. Kaidan Shin-Numabukuro Royale: Kaisei Takechi Vs Jun Akiyama Vs Danshoku Dieno Vs MAO Vs KANON Vs Naomi Yoshimura Vs Rukiya Vs Hinata Kasai ended in a No Contest (12:25).
*Kaidan Reading Artist: Hisaya Imabayashi
5. Blindfold Nipple Covered 4 Way Death Match ~ Right To Challenge Anytime, Anywhere Gauntlet: Masami Inahata defeated Yuki Ueno, Kazuki Hirata and Junta Miyawaki when Inahata removed Ueno’s bra (14:10).
*Masami Inahata wins the Blue Right To Challenge Anytime, Anywhere Gauntlet.
6. KO-D 6-Man Tag Team Titles – Falls Count Anywhere Match: Takeshi Masada, Yuya Koroku & Daichi Sato (c) defeated Chris Brookes, HARASHIMA & Antonio Honda when Sato pinned Honda with a Diving Body Press through a Table (19:41).
*V6 for paleyouth.
There was a contact signing at the start of the show that for the two upcoming title matches going on between FANTÔMES DRAMATIC and paleyouth. However paleyouth were late to the signing which caused Antonio Honda to get angry. He demanded that today’s KO-D 6-Man Tag Team Titles match should now be Falls Count Anywhere. Akito was in charge as the GM today and he agreed to make the change. The two sides brawled all over Shinjuku FACE until Honda was placed onto a table near the counter. Daichi Sato climbed the counter and jumped off it to crush Honda through the table and win the match, meaning paleyouth have now tied the record for most KO-D 6-Man Tag Title defences!
After the match three members from Strange Love Connection appeared and confronted paleyouth. KANON & Yukio Naya stood aside so Viento Levante could challenge the champions for a title match. He said he went to Mexico and doesn’t know if it was worth it. He then came home and worked hard to become as strong and cool as everyone else but doesn’t feel like he has earned the right to make this challenge. But if there is at least one person out there who cheers for him he will work hard for them. paleyouth accepted the challenge because they all understand where Levante is coming from. They will defend their titles against SLC on 11th August with the goal of breaking the defence record at Sumo Hall.
The second of two Right To Challenge Anytime, Anywhere Gauntlets belongs to Masami Inahata after he won the Blindfold Bra 4 Way Match. But since he was still blindfolded when the match ended, Ilusion easily crept into the ring and approached Inahata from behind to put him in a Sleeper Hold. All he did though was give Inahata a warning that he can cash in his Right To Challenge Anytime, Anywhere, Anytime, Anywhere Gauntlet on him whenever he wants.
You better start believing in ghost stories Kaisei Takechi. You’re in one! He took part in the annual multi-man match that turns into a ghost story if it does not end in three minutes. He had to be dragged into the ring by everyone else because he admittedly does not like scary stories. Danshoku Dieno tried to calm him down by telling him he only has to fall down when Hisaya Imabayashi points at him. That doesn’t actually mean he dies. Everyone then encouraged Imabayashi to do his point except he wanted to add a twist to the proceedings. He would only do the point at one person, whoever wins the Battle Royal! The match continued and Takechi ended up becoming the last man standing. Imabayashi began to tell his ghost story called “The Coin Locker” about a person finding an abandoned child at a coin locker. However Imabayashi didn’t expect Takechi to pull out a script and start reciting the story alongside him. Takechi then revealed he took part in this match to get revenge on Imabayashi for his mentor Makoto Oishi because all those years of Imabayashi doing the “It’s you!” point at Oishi made him addicted to the scare! Imabayashi tried to scare him with the point but missed and hit Dieno by accident. Takechi did one of his own but hit Yukinori Matsui. This kept going on until everyone else fainted. Imabayashi and Takechi finally hit each other at the same time but Takechi was the only one to survive it. He slumped into KANON’s arms and told him he was going to sleep for a while. KANON screamed in panic and the room turned into darkness… The lights then came back on and everybody lined up in the ring to bow to the audience.
According to Daisuke Sasaki his tag partner today Mikiya Sasaki is actually his long lost twin brother. That means they are the Super Sasaki Brothers! The brotherly love disappeared late into the match when Daisuke complained about having to wear green while Mikiya got to wear red and blue. They started fighting each other which helped lead them into losing their match against The 37KAMIINA.
After the match Honda came down to the ring to reveal his tag partner against Sasaki & DOUKI at Sumo Hall on 11th August. It’s going to be Tetsuya Endo and he is here right now! Endo couldn’t believe what he is seeing from Sasaki. This isn’t the Daisuke Sasaki he knew from DAMNATION so at Sumo Hall Endo is going to expose Sasaki’s true colours! Sasaki taked back, saying nobody here knows who Endo is because he’s wrestling on a green canvas and couldn’t even win a crappy GHC Championship. Honda then stepped in to explain he chose Endo because it will make the match more exciting. It will also be nostalgic because it will be the first time in a decade that Endo & Honda are teaming up together.
The contract signing with Fandora and paleyouth that was mentioned earlier also involved the KO-D Tag Team Titles match taking place on 26th July. paleyouth were present by the time this contract was signed so no extra stipulation was made for it. Neither HARASHIMA nor Chris Brookes are that worried by their opponents. Brookes even had Honda speak about the match on his behalf. Takeshi Masada spoke about how much winning the KO-D Tag Titles would mean for both himself and Yuya Koroku. The two of them are confident they will become double champions and after today they are halfway towards achieving that goal.

*Shunma Katsumata wins the Red Right To Challenge Anytime, Anywhere Gauntlet.
The final series of Beer Garden shows inside Shinjuku FACE are happening this week so DDT are sending them off with a bang. The company’s biggest drinkers all gathered together for the main event that was just an excuse for them to get absolutely blasted on tequila. Shunma Katsumata opened the show by pinning Kazuma Sumi during the NωA Jr. to win the Iron Man Heavymetalweight Title and he got to close out the show by winning the first of two Red Right To Challenge Anytime, Anywhere Gauntlets to be activated this year. He did so by wearing a T.M.Revolution costume made out of tissue paper and was the last one standing after everyone else became too drunk to continue fighting.
However somebody else has taken it upon themselves to shake up the Right To Challenge prizes this year. Ilusion has complained online about how stale the concept is and he wanted to show off to everyone his idea to spice it up this year. After the main event he entered the ring carrying a purple Gauntlet and announced the creation of the Right To Challenge Anytime, Anywhere, Anytime, Anywhere Gauntlet! With this prize the holder can cash it in on any person with a regular Right To Challenge Gauntlet whenever they want. Hisaya Imabayashi listened to Ilusion’s pitch and found it interesting enough to give it a go so starting tomorrow, the Anytime, Anywhere, Anytime, Anywhere Gauntlet will become officially activated!
Everybody in Match #6 wrestled while wearing stockings over their heads.
A situation broke out during HARASHIMA’s opening speech where Danshoku Dieno & Antonio Honda were chasing Junta Miyawaki & Masami Inahata down to the ring. HARASHIMA calmed everyone down and told them all to apologise to each other. But when they did they all headbutted each other by accident and went backstage feeling weird. Then when it was time for their match, Miyawaki showed up dressed as Honda and Inahata was dressed as Dieno! They even copied the moves and the match ended with Inahata pinning Honda with the Gotch-Style Danshoku Driver.
Kazuki Hirata threw himself into a Battle Royal to fight against many Invisible opponents. There were more than wrestlers involved too because some of the participants were Invisible versions of people from the dance group M!LK. What Hirata did not expect most of all was the appearance of his own Invisible doppelganger! After getting a taste of his own medicine by being pinned with his own finisher, Hirata was happy to pose with Invisible Kazuki Hirata and the rest of the Invisible Men for a commemorative photo.
There was a contract signing for the DDT Extreme Title match between Hideki Okatani and Yuki Ishida happening on 26th July. Ishida spoke about feeling lost ever since Kazusada Higuchi retired and Harimao disbanded. He wants to change but has only been moving vaguely forward which is why he decided to wager his hair in order to get an Extreme Title shot. Okatani said he will crush Ishida without the need for any dirty tricks. He then asked Ishida what is it exactly that makes his hair valuable? Ishida answered he has been growing his hair for the last five years so it is like he is putting all of his experience up until now on the line. If he were to lose he will end up in a terrible state. With that explanation, Okatani decided it will just be a regular match with no other special rules applied.
