Kanagawa is home to Yuki Kamifuku so she is getting a big main event match for the show. She has to face Aja Kong in a tag match! If that turned out to be Mahiro Kiryu’s idea then she’ll really have to apologize for that. Shoko Nakajima once teamed with Kong but this time they are opponents.

A deadly feud between mascots has suddenly developed. Pokotan interfered in Chiitan’s match yesterday seemingly to help it out. However the two ended up butting heads and now want to fight each other to see who is the best mascot around. Akito had to figure out what match to put them in to solve this problem. He decided that he and Kazuki Hirata will also get involved to make it a tag match in front of the Shinjuku Takashimaya crowd.

Kota Umeda will be on the show.

A free outdoor DDT event is taking place at the Takashimaya department store in Shinjuku. Three matches are scheduled for throughout the day along with talk shows and other experiences for the fans to see. Takashimaya contacted DDT to put the event together as something for their customers to enjoy while they visit the store. They also mentioned that DDT has a lot of female fans so they think this is a suitable cross-promotion for both companies. Sanshiro Takagi is hoping it will be such a success that they can turn it into an annual event. He warns that the wrestlers could get so heated up during their matches that they might bring the fighting inside the building. However Takashimaya management want to avoid those kind of incidents and any accidents that could happen alongside it.
