Match #4 is going to be changed because of Inahata’s injury. That match will also be the Japanese debut of Miles Karu in DDT. He is a Malaysian wrestler who previously appeared in DDT on their “LOVE & PEACE” show that was held in his country last November.

Shinjuku FACE

1. Yuki Arai, Miu Watanabe, Rika Tatsumi & Suzume Vs Yuki Kamifuku, Mizuki, Uta Takami & Mahiro Kiryu

Tokyo Joshi Pro are getting a little experimental for their usual champions versus challengers tag match. Since they have shows taking place in Tokyo and Osaka in the next couple of weeks they are booking the same match twice so fans on the west side of Japan and the east side can all go see it! Tokyo gets the match first.

Wakana Uehara will not be at the show due to a scheduling conflict.

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

1. King Of DDT – Semi Final: Minoru Suzuki Vs Shinya Aoki
2. King Of DDT – Semi Final: MAO Vs Danshoku Dieno
3. King Of DDT – Final: X Vs X

With four wrestlers left in the King Of DDT, only one of them is a previous winner. That’s MAO and his next opponent Danshoku Dieno last made it to the final in 2012, losing to Kenny Omega. The semi final stage is now the furthest that Shinya Aoki has ever progressed to. Minoru Suzuki is one step away from equaling the likes of T-Hawk and Yuji Hino as outsiders who reached the final in their first tournament entry.

DDT “OWARI WARS 2026”, 21/06/2026
Aichi Chunichi Hall & Conference

1. DDT Extreme Title: Hideki Okatani (c) Vs Junta Miyawaki
2. KO-D Tag Team Titles: Chris Brookes & HARASHIMA (c) Vs Yuki Ueno & To-y

The alleged future “Prince Of Nagoya” To-y wants to challenge for the KO-D Tag Team Titles and got the shot when he promised Yuki Ueno would be his tag partner. Chris Brookes is pretty confident that To-y won’t be able to beat him or HARASHIMA for the belts.

As part of Junta Miyawaki’s journey through DDT he wants to try and win the championship that bests represents DDT as a one of a kind company. That means he is going after the DDT Extreme Title. He also now has to prove to Hideki Okatani that he wants to be here and he wasn’t kicked out of NOAH.

DDT “KING OF DDT 2026 2ND ROUND” Results

May 9, 2026

DDT “KING OF DDT 2026 2ND ROUND”, 09/05/2026
Shinjuku FACE
??? Fans – Unannounced

1. Daisuke Sasaki, MJ Paul & Ilusion defeated Kumadori, Masami Inahata & Hinata Kasai when Sasaki submitted Kasai with the Crossface Lock (9:05).
2. Yuya Koroku, Daichi Sato & Yuki Ishida defeated Kazuki Hirata, Antonio Honda & Yuni when Ishida pinned Hirata with an Iso-gatame (11:09).
3. 3 Way 6-Man Tag Match: Yuki Ueno, Shunma Katsumata & To-y defeated Kazuma Sumi, Junta Miyawaki & Rukiya and KANON, Yukio Naya & Viento Maligno when Katsumata pinned Maligno with the ¡Hasta la vista! (9:54).
4. King Of DDT – Round 2: MAO defeated Hideki Okatani with the Avalanche Michinoku Driver II (10:27).
5. King Of DDT – Round 2: Danshoku Dieno defeated Takeshi Masada with an Inside Cradle (11:42).
6. King Of DDT – Round 2: Minoru Suzuki defeated Chris Brookes with a Heel Hold (20:29).
7. King Of DDT – Round 2: Shinya Aoki defeated HARASHIMA with the European Clutch (16:16).

Today is the last time the a King Of DDT round will be held inside Shinjuku FACE before the venue closes down later this year. It was the Quarter Finals with eight wrestlers still remaining in the tournament. Shinya Aoki knocked out a former two-time winner HARASHIMA in the main event. HARASHIMA countered Aoki’s submission game by hitting the Somato twice but Aoki kicked out of the pin both times. Aoki then used the ropes to prevent HARASHIMA from using the rare Yama-ori finisher. Instead Aoki put him in position for the dreaded European Clutch, ultimately winning the struggle to pin HARASHIMA’s shoulders for the three count.

A brawl broke out between Chris Brookes and Minoru Suzuki early on in their match. Suzuki got the advantage by hurting Brookes’s left leg with a chair and then targeting it from around ringside. The plan worked out when Brookes repeatedly went for Penalty Kicks using his left leg, reducing the effectiveness of the move until Suzuki could block a kick and grab Brookes into a Heel Hold for the instant submission victory. Suzuki looked like he was going to show Brookes respect after the match by reaching out his hand but it was only so he could grab his leg one more time and slam it against the canvas.

Danshoku Dieno continues his unlikely run through the tournament by making it to the semi final! Takeshi Masada tried to weaken him by using the two finger attack that was effective against To-y but it did not work out in the end. Dieno stripped down to give Masada a more dangerous version of the Danshoku Driver but Masada defended himself from it. Dieno instead pulled the win out of nowhere when he countered Masada’s finisher into a Small Package for the pinfall. After the match, Super Sasadango Machine entered the ring to once again ask Dieno to join his team of DDT wrestlers who will fight against Toru Yano and New Japan next month. Dieno continued to turn him down in order to focus on winning King Of DDT.

A victory by any means necessary was on Hideki Okatani’s mind. He tried to get MAO counted out with an attack outside the ring but MAO narrowly got back in on time by jumping from the counter to the ring apron. Okatani then stabbed a bundle of skewers into MAO’s head but got a taste of his own medicine when MAO did the same to him! Okatani had some of MAO’s other tactics scouted but ran into a finish he could not have anticipated. When he charged towards MAO in the corner, MAO hopped up to the top turnbuckle and grabbed Okatani up with him in order to give him the Avalanche Michinoku Driver II! That was enough for MAO to advance to the final four.

The four finalists all met in the ring at the end of the show for the semi final drawing. It didn’t taking long for the pairings to be determined because Dieno and MAO immediately picked the same colour to fill out one semi final match, meaning Aoki and Suzuki will fight in the other! Those two had a deep stare down in the middle of the ring while Dieno and MAO were next to them playing with each other’s balls. Backstage Dieno admits he is the weakest of the four but is counting on MAO to become complacent and underestimate him. Having reached this far, MAO is now compelled to challenge Yuki Ueno for the KO-D Openweight Title again otherwise what will become of DDT if that rematch never happens in the future? Suzuki thinks it is destiny that he is going to fight Aoki again and he is going to beat him to a pulp just like last time. Aoki didn’t have much to say backstage other that simply state he will face Suzuki in the semi final.

This weekend is Daisuke Sasaki’s last matches with DDT before he goes over to New Japan to compete in the Best Of The Super Jr. He told the fans that if he does not win the tournament, he will never come back to DDT!

Tokyo ARENA Shimokitazawa

1. Special Single Match: MAO Vs Anarko Montaña
2. BK-G Openweight Title: Mr. Bueno (c) Vs Baliyan Akki

What’s the next unhinged thing that Sanshiro Takagi can do with Super Japan? I don’t know how about book Satoshi Kojima against The Brahman Brothers and Munenori Sawa is there too?

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “STAND ALONE ’26”, 07/06/2026
Tokyo Korakuen Hall

2. Princess Tag Team Titles: Miu Watanabe & Rika Tatsumi (c) Vs Mizuki & Uta Takami
3. Princess Of Princess Title: Yuki Arai (c) Vs Yuki Kamifuku

When you spend so much time around the Iron Man Heavymetalweight Title it messes up how you treat other championships. Mahiro Kiryu forgot how to challenge Suzume so she thought just rolling her up from behind would make her the new International Princess Champion. Apologies have since been given and they’ve made up to the point where Kiryu will get a proper title shot anyway.

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

1. Special Tag Match: Daisuke Sasaki & X Vs X & X
2. Dramatic Dream Match: Konosuke Takeshita Vs Kaisei Takechi

A contest is being made for Daisuke Sasaki’s match at Sumo Hall. It will be a tag match where fans get to guess who his partner is and who their opponents will be. The reason for this is because the other participants in the match haven’t actually been decided on yet, let alone booked for the show.

10. Double Main Event II – Special Tag Match ~ A Ruthless Giant That Blocks The World Guide Us To Our Dreams Blooming Flower: KONOSUKE TAKESHITA & Yuki Ueno Vs Jun Akiyama & Shuji Ishikawa

Two more matches are added to Yukinori Matsui’s special show. They do normally tend to balloon out to this size.

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “STAND ALONE ’26”, 07/06/2026
Tokyo Korakuen Hall

1. Princess Tag Team Titles: Miu Watanabe & Rika Tatsumi (c) Vs Mizuki & Uta Takami
2. Princess Of Princess Title: Yuki Arai (c) Vs Yuki Kamifuku

It’s taken almost nine years for Yuki Kamifuku to challenge for the Princess Of Princess Title. It’s not because of a lack of merit or anything like that. She just doesn’t like taking part in important singles matches or cares that much about winning championships. But she’s not getting any younger and discovering her first signs of aging has kicked Kamifuku into finally fighting Yuki Arai for Tokyo Joshi Pro’s most important title. After all, winning wrestling championships is the greatest anti-aging technique you can find.

Daydream once again hold the Princess Tag Team Titles. Their first challengers are going to be the losing finalists from this year’s Max Heart Tournament. When Rika Tatsumi discovered that Mizuki found a new tag partner in Uta Takami, she wasn’t happy about it. She thinks beating them can bring that team to an end so she can keep Mizuki all to herself. Mizuki however wants to live in the present and continue her team with Takami. Maybe if they win the titles they can get an official tag team name. Miu Watanabe probably doesn’t have much of an opinion on the matter.

DDT/NJPW “ONE-ON-ONE CONFRONTATION PART 2 ~SASADANGO-GUN VS YANO-GUN 5-ON-5 ELIMINATION TAG BATTLE~”, 08/06/2025
Tokyo Korakuen Hall

1. Sasadango-gun Vs Yano-gun: X Vs X
2. Sasadango-gun Vs Yano-gun: X Vs X
3. Sasadango-gun Vs Yano-gun: X Vs X
4. Sasadango-gun Vs Yano-gun: X Vs X
5. Sasadango-gun Vs Yano-gun: X Vs X

Sasadango-gun: Super Sasadango Machine, MAO, Kazuki Hirata

Yano-gun: Toru Yano, El Desperado, Ryusuke Taguchi

Both Kazuki Hirata and Ryusuke Taguchi have been drafted into the DDT Vs New Japan battle. Super Sasadango Machine is trying to recruit Danshoku Dieno for the show but Dieno keeps turning him down in order to focus on his King Of DDT run.

Now here’s an interesting thought. Konosuke Takeshita over the weekend decided to join the Hontai unit in NJPW. Since Sasadango is under the assumption that Toru Yano is only going to pick wrestlers from Hontai, does that mean there’s a possibility of Takeshita joining Yano’s team?

Both Shoko Nakajima and Yuki Kamifuku will not be at the show. They are instead booked for Aja Kong’s 40th Anniversary show taking place in Okinawa. Nakajima is in the opener while Kamifuku will be on the team opposing Kong in the main event!

BASARA “BASARA 307 ~KOO~”, 29/05/2026
Shinjuku FACE

1. FUMA Vs Seiya Morohashi
2. Iron Fist Tag Team Titles: Takato Nakano & Masato Kamino (c) Vs Minoru Fujita & Yasu Urano
3. Union MAX Title: Shuji Ishikawa (c) Vs SAGAT

SAGAT has become the first wrestler in BASARA to get a three count pin on Shuji Ishikawa. He’s now aiming to do it again to become the new Union MAX Champion.

Just when Aijin Tag felt like they have cleaned out BASARA’s tag division, Minoru Fujita & Yasu Urano have appeared and even stolen one of the Iron Fist Tag Team Title belts! It’s all so Fujita can promote his Fujita Pro Wrestling School project and he’s even thinking about renaming the tag titles under that brand if he and Urano properly win them.

What was supposed to be a Union Pro tribute tag team has fallen apart after FUMA and Seiya Morohashi failed to win the Iron Fist Tag Titles. They both blame each other for the loss so will settle their differences in the ring.

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “TJPW SPRING TOUR 2026 ~NEXT DOOR~ IN SHINJUKU” Results

April 24, 2026

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “TJPW SPRING TOUR 2026 ~NEXT DOOR~ IN SHINJUKU”, 24/04/2026
Shinjuku FACE
312 Fans – No Vacancy

1. Sakura Hattori defeated Kira Summer with the Shinden Fudo Ryu Majime Ura (8:25).
2. Mahiro Kiryu, HIMAWARI & Shino Suzuki defeated Raku, Pom Harajuku & Mifu Ashida when Kiryu pinned Ashida with the Spinebuster (12:21).
3. Yuki Kamifuku defeated Chika Nanase when Kamifuku pinned Nanase with the Famouser (7:30).
4. Mizuki & Uta Takami defeated Ren Konatsu & Shion Kanzaki when Mizuki submitted Kanzaki with the Southern Cross (10:43).
5. Rika Tatsumi & Miu Watanabe defeated Wakana Uehara & Toga when Watanabe pinned Toga after the Daydream Eternity (14:17).
6. Suzume & Arisu Endo defeated Yuki Arai & Haru Kazashiro when Suzume pinned Kazashiro with the Ring A Bell (15:26).

The main event was a preview of what is coming up in 10 days time. The champions and challengers for the Princess Of Princess Title match and International Princess Title match. It was also a chance for Daisy Monkey to catch up with each other as a tag team again. While Arisu Endo kept Yuki Arai on her toes, Suzume matches Haru Kazashiro’s athleticism and then some, intercepting one of her Springboard moves into a Facecrusher and later pinning her with the Ring A Bell. After the match Suzume told Endo she wants them both to hold championships again even if this time they are different colours. Endo later said she can see a future where she is the adventurer defeating the final boss to get the treasure. Arai feels strange being called that but if she’s now the main character of Tokyo Joshi Pro then she wants to write a masterpiece as its champion! Kazashiro said she has gained some fighting spirit for her own title match despite losing today.

There is something else Daydream is looking for along with the Princess Tag Team Titles. Both Rika Tatsumi & Miu Watanabe have been a team for a long time now but they never had their own tag team entrance song. So Daydream wants to win the Princess Tag Titles from The IInspiration and then sing their own brand new song.

The Southern Cross that Mizuki used to win her match was more like the Crossface/Labell Lock than the usual Face Lock she puts opponents in.

Some of those who went to Texas brought back some souvenirs to show off to everyone who stayed home. Raku & Pom Harajuku both went into their match wearing the Buc-ee outfits they got in Texas. Mifu Ashida was also dressed head to toe in Buc-ee’s merchandise.

After yesterday’s show Ilusion had symptoms of a concussion and is waiting for a diagnosis so DDT has pulled him off the next couple of shows for the time being. He will be out of action until at least 6th May. Once that event passes DDT will consult with his doctor over when Ilusion can be cleared to return. Minoru Fujita has been called in on short notice to replace Ilusion on tomorrow’s show.

DDT “ECHIGO LARIAT”, 29/04/2026
Niigata Higashi Ward Plaza

1. Kazuma Sumi & Yuki Ishida Vs HARASHIMA & Hinata Kasai
2. 3 Way Match: Takeshi Masada Vs Kazuki Hirata Vs Akito

5. FANTÔMES DRAMATIC Vs DAMNATION T.A!: Chris Brookes & Antonio Honda Vs Hideki Okatani, MJ Paul
6. Special Tag Match: Yuki Ueno & Super Sasadango Machine Vs MAO & Danshoku Dieno

The card has been shuffled around to make up for Ilusion’s absence. The FANTÔMES DRAMATIC versus DAMNATION T.A trios match has been reduced to a regular tag with HARASHIMA being moved down to the opener.

DDT “LET’S GO FOR 5 X 1 DDT!” 2026, 01/05/2026
Hokkaido Sapporo Sun Plaza

1. Kazuma Sumi & Yuki Ishida Vs Danshoku Dieno & Yukio Naya
2. MAO & KANON (w/ KIMIHIRO) Vs Jun Akiyama & Masami Inahata

DAMNATION T.A are still getting the KO-D Tag Team Titles match with Ilusion out injured. It is now MJ Paul who will be teaming up with Daisuke Sasaki instead. This is still meant to be Sasaki’s return match from his North American excursion but now Chris Brookes & HARASHIMA have to change their battle plan a little bit.

DDT “SAPPORO GOLDEN BATTLE 2026”, 02/05/2026
Hokkaido Sapporo Sun Plaza

1. 3 Way Match: Danshoku Dieno Vs Kazuki Hirata Vs Akito
2. Tomoya & Hinata Kasai Vs Tomomitsu Matsunaga & Masami Inahata

DDT “D GENERATIONS 9”, 20/05/2026
Tokyo Ueno Park Outdoor Stage

1. Ali Najima Vs Hinata Kasai
2. Hideki Okatani & Ilusion Vs Yuya Koroku & Yuki Ishida
3. Special Single Match: Kazuma Sumi Vs Yuni
4. Special Single Match: Masami Inahata Vs Rukiya
5. Takeshi Masada Produce Match – No Throwing Moves Match: Takeshi Masada Vs To-y

The main event of the next D GENERATIONS show is getting a little experimental. Takeshi Masada is in charge of putting the match together and he decided to take on To-y in a match where throwing moves are prohibited. So in theory would that mean his finisher and To-y’s finisher aren’t allowed and we’re getting a match full of kicks against chops instead?

This will be Masami Inahata’s first appearance on a D GENERATIONS show.

DDT “DDT MY LOVE 2026”, 03/06/2026
Shinjuku FACE

1. Junta Miyawaki Three Match Trial – Match 2: Junta Miyawaki Vs Kazuki Hirata

After starting off his journey fighting against Antonio Honda, the next stage of DDT Junta Miyawaki must experience one on one is against Kazuki Hirata. His ultimate destination is going to be Danshoku Dieno, isn’t it?

DDT “ROAD TO KING OF DDT 2026” Results

April 22, 2026

DDT “ROAD TO KING OF DDT 2026”, 22/04/2026
Shinjuku FACE
??? Fans – Unannounced

1. 3 Way Tag Match: Hideki Okatani & MJ Paul defeated Naomi Yoshimura & Akito and Danshoku Dieno & Kazuki Hirata when Okatani pinned Hirata with the Skewered Claymore (10:28).
2. Junta Miyawaki Three Match Trial – Match 1: Junta Miyawaki defeated Antonio Honda with a Rolling Cradle Hold Counter (11:11).
3. Special 8-Man Tag Match: MAO, KANON, Yuki Iino & Viento Maligno (w/ KIMIHIRO) defeated Kazuma Sumi, Kumadori, Rukiya & Hinata Kasai when Iino pinned Kasai with a Lariat (11:38).
4. Special Tag Match: Minoru Suzuki & HARASHIMA defeated Yukio Naya & Yuki Ishida when Suzuki pinned Ishida with the Gotch-Style Piledriver (13:43).
5. Special 8-Man Tag Match: Yuki Ueno, Shinya Aoki, Shunma Katsumata & To-y defeated Takeshi Masada, Yuya Koroku, Daichi Sato & Masami Inahata when Aoki pinned Inahata with the European Clutch (13:15).
6. Special Single Match: Chris Brookes defeated Ilusion with the House Piano Death (18:51).

With just under two weeks to go until the King Of DDT begins, but there is also the KO-D Tag Team Titles match happening before then. With Daisuke Sasaki still in America, Ilusion took it upon himself as the new “leader” of DAMNATION T.A to go fight Chris Brookes. He demanded their match be Falls Count Anywhere and they went on to brawl all over the venue, only to be intimidated back down to the ring by Minoru Suzuki for getting in his way backstage. Ilusion put Brookes through a table with the Coffin Drop but then crashed through a pile of chairs when he missed the Swanton Bomb from the stage. Brookes took him back to the ring and twisted him into submission to win the match. He admitted that Ilusion has gotten stronger since the last time they had a singles match against each other two years ago. Ilusion thanked Brookes for fighting him today but promised to get revenge on him thousands of times over by winning the KO-D Tag Titles on 1st May.

Suzuki got to survey some of the field by fighting with HARASHIMA against Yukio Naya & Yuki Ishida. He will be facing Naya in the first round and mocked him before the show by calling him a clumsy flop when he originally debuted. Naya retaliated by saying he is putting his entire body on the line to become DDT’s best heavyweight. Suzuki’s response to that is that wrestling is about more than just size. He has travelled the world barefoot and understands that size by itself does not give wrestlers an advantage or disadvantage. He went on to show that off today by using the Sleeper Hold on both Naya and Ishida, giving both wrestlers a similar experience before he pinned Ishida with the Gotch-Style Piledriver.

A three match journey has been given to Junta Miyawaki for him to truly understand what DDT is during his stay here. First up he fought Antonio Honda and the two agreed to have a fair fight. Miyawaki put his best foot forward by constantly saving Honda from falling over and injuring himself. However it came at a cost of Miyawaki injuring his own knees instead. Honda encouraged him by getting Miyawaki to join in on the Gongitsune joke before attacking him by the knees. Miyawaki was able to kick out of the Tenzan Tombstone Driver and block Honda’s Rolling Cradle to win the match by the skin of his teeth. He was then told by Hisaya Imabayashi that the second match in his trial will be against Kazuki Hirata on 3rd June.
