Today’s show was a statement from DDT to tell everyone they are now going full steam ahead towards “ULTIMATE PARTY 2026” and beyond while also saying one last goodbye to maybe its most controversial unit in company history. In the main event Strange Love Connection got the better of FANTÔMES DRAMATIC in an Elimination 8-Man Tag Match. Within SLC, it was The Apex who were involved with the first half of eliminations. Yuki Iino & Yukio Naya double teamed Hinata Kasai to take him out of the match first. But things went awry between them and Antonio Honda redirected Naya into eliminating Iino with a Big Boot out of the ring. Honda and Naya then eliminated each other when a struggle over the top rope ended with both of them falling to the floor. Chris Brookes and MAO relied on their skills to create the rest of the eliminations. Brookes submitted KANON with the House Piano Death but he and HARASHIMA couldn’t capitalize on beating the last man left, MAO. Instead MAO pinned HARASHIMA with the Bridging Gedo Clutch, leaving himself and Brookes as the final two. A ref bump caused the eliminated wrestlers from both teams to storm in and cause some chaos, leading to Brookes giving MAO the Praying Mantis Bomb for a nearfall when the ref recovered. Brookes went to do his finisher a second time but MAO countered it into a Small Package in midair to get the three count out of nowhere. After the match MAO talked about the different directions he and Brookes took. Now they both lead their own units to fight each other in a Korakuen Hall main event. Brookes told MAO that their KO-D Openweight Title match at Sumo Hall will determine which unit is better.

The show wasn’t over yet at this point. MAO turned to Iino and reminded him there are two things Iino said he wanted to do. Iino then called out Danshoku Dieno for one last match with him! They were meant to have a DDT Extreme Title match together in March 2025 but it was cancelled when Iino suffered an orbital fracture. That match has been on Iino’s mind ever since and he needs it to happen before he leaves DDT for NOAH. Dieno asked Iino if it was really him asking for the match or if it is Yuki “Sexy” Iino from the salacious unit they were in together a few years ago called Pheromones? Iino answered it was simply coming from his normal self. Dieno did not want to hear that and he walked out to the back. Suddenly the familiar voice of Dieno filled the room, except this time it was Dieno in his Pheromones form. If the normal Yuki Iino wanted the match then he would have to do it against Danshoku “Dandy” Dieno!

An impromptu match began between Dieno and Iino. After a quick exchange of signature moves, Dieno began to strip out of his costume and encouraged Iino to do the same. Iino fought the temptations and froze before pulling off his cap to shout “Jonetsu!” out loud. Iino didn’t join in with Dieno, instead he hit him with a Lariat and then pinned him with the Spear. Iino was in tears after the match while he talked about how important Pheromones was to him, helping him grow into the wrestler he is today. Dieno said Iino had a second piece of unfinished business so he will allow him to go do it. Yuki “Sexy” Iino has been expelled from Pheromones! Dieno told him not to dare live a life he will end up regretting and then left the ring.

With Pheromones now permanently sent out to pasture, Iino brought up his second and last piece of business. Ever since The Apex was formed Iino and Naya have never had another singles match against each other. Naya admitted he wanted to challenge Iino to a match but didn’t think he would get a chance. He isn’t going to cry over Iino leaving despite how lonely he will feel without him. At Sumo Hall they will fight each other one more time and Naya will make Iino feel the deepest regret he will ever have!

Ryusuke Taguchi has successfully defended the DDT Universal Title twice in two days this weekend. Yesterday he beat Dick Togo at a New Japan show to retain the championship and today he got the better of Akito to remain champion again. Both wrestlers today had the same gameplan of targeting the opponent’s legs and working in ways to apply the Ankle Lock. Taguchi altered his Dodon finisher to be more of a releasing slam so Akito couldn’t counter it. Some Kneecrushers weakened Akito enough for him to finally give up when Taguchi put him in the Cross Ankle Hold. Akito thanked Taguchi after the match for showing respect to DDT during his reign so far. Taguchi explained he is doing it because DDT have entrusted him with the belt.

Taguchi was in the middle of announcing his next title defence will be on 29th November when To-y suddenly got into the ring to challenge him. To-y said he wants to experience every single side of Taguchi from his skills to his “afro” persona. Then once To-y gets his fill he will beat Taguchi and win the Universal Title from him. Taguchi said he stopped paying attention to To-y’s challenge when he realized he shouldn’t be taking him seriously. He isn’t sure if To-y’s crazy personality is just an act so he’ll give him the title shot to figure out which of them is crazier.

After that match was decided, Taguchi and Kazuma Sumi revealed to everyone their team name for the upcoming Super Jr. Tag League being held in New Japan. They are called Sumi 55 (“Sumi GoGo” much like Apollo 55 of old) and they promise to come back to DDT as tournament winners! Backstage Taguchi said he wants to see Sumi spread his wings and take on the world. If Sumi 55 finds success as a team then Taguchi may consider the two of them go after the KO-D Tag Team Titles.

A successful title defence is now under paleyouth’s belt after Takeshi Masada & Yuya Koroku defeated ROMANCE DAWN with the KO-D Tag Titles on the line. Soma Takao is now a freelancer just like his tag partner Shota and the two thought they pay DDT a visit and take their tag titles away. But Koroku kicked out of the Official Endless Waltz and gave Takao the Intercept DDT off of the ropes. Masada followed up with a Triangle Kick and the champs then finished Takao off with their German Suplex/Knee Kick finisher.

The champs along with Daichi Sato and Bunbun got together after the match so all of paleyouth could celebrate the victory together. All of a sudden the cameraman at ringside started sticking up his middle finger at them. It turned out to be Ilusion behind the camera! Hideki Okatani then ran into the ring and attacked paleyouth from behind with a bamboo stick while Ilusion filmed it. The two of them challenged Masada & Koroku for the KO-D Tag Titles and they will get the match at Sumo Hall on 3rd November. Backstage Ilusion said he doesn’t care who the tag champs are, he just wants to add a 10th and 11th belt to his current collection of championships. He also said there is no way he and Okatani will lose to a team that are closer to thirty than he is!

In the match before that, DAMNATION T.A retained their KO-D 6-Man Tag Team Titles against NωA Jr. The presence of MJ Paul gave DAMNATION T.A the legally questionable numbers edge as he made up for the champs getting hit with a lot of big dives early on. He got called into the ring after Daisuke Sasaki pushed down Yukinori Matsui. The plan backfired after Ilusion brought in a chair and accidentally hit all of his partners with it by accident. Shunma Katsumata also tricked Ilusion into hitting himself with the chair by bouncing it off the top rope. The match came down to Sumi finding ways to roll up Sasaki with the School Boy. Sasaki kept kicking out and eventually he countered the School Boy into a cradle where he grabbed the bottom rope for leverage. Matsui somehow didn’t see it and counted the pinfall to give DAMNATION T.A the win. Later backstage, Sumi told Katsumata & Yuni he wants to take a break from NωA Jr. for a while. It’s been something he’s been thinking about all weekend even though he previously said the group would stay together going forward.

There was an important announcement regarding Shinya Aoki that was given out during the show but I’ll get to that later. His tag match on the show happened first. Junta Miyawaki had to do most of the hard work surviving against Jun Akiyama. Aoki made it look easy going up against Daichi Sato and used the Aoki Clutch on the youngster to win the match.

Match #2 might break the record for the shortest ever wrestling match to somehow also be around 15 minutes long. Dieno wanted to give Kaisei Takechi the Lip Lock during his entrance. Takechi dodged him and Dieno ended up Lip Locking Matsui instead, knocking the ref out. Then when The 37KAMIINA made their entrance, To-y felt it was the right time to roll up Yuki Ueno and try to win the Iron Man Heavymetalweight Title from him. He failed but Kazuki Hirata then tried the same thing. Ueno kicked out of that too but Super Sasadango Machine then jumped on top of him to get the pin and become champion. Ueno quickly won it back by giving Sasadango a Shining Wizard at ringside. While all of this was going on, Dieno was still chasing Takechi while To-y had all of a sudden made his way up to the balcony teasing a massive dive onto everyone below! Takechi was willing to catch him with the others until Dieno chased him over to the other side of the room and the others all followed, ruining To-y’s big spot. To-y came up with a new idea to wheel over a cart while everyone was fighting in the aisleway. That backfired when Dieno took over the cart and formed the Hell Gate while Sasadango pushed him toward Takechi & Ueno. Takechi jumped out of the way at the last second but Ueno got a face full of Dieno’s Hell Gate. He fainted and Dieno pinned him to win the title. To-y then jumped onto Dieno with a Cross Body Block to win the belt from him. After that, To-y was chased down to ringside where he tripped and fell over. Sasadango caught up to him and did the Vertical Drop Lehman Shock onto the floor to become the new champion. Sasadango then went up to the commentary table to celebrate. Takechi caught up but instead of attacking Sasadango, he bowed and convinced him to start dancing instead. It was all a trick so Takechi could knock Sasadango out when his guard was down. Dieno stopped Takechi from pinning him so the special guest commentator Yui Yoshida decided she would pin Sasadango and win the title for herself after everyone had all taken each other out! Dieno immediately put her in a Sleeper Hold to win back the belt. He then tried to give Ueno the Danshoku Nightmare over on the bleachers but Takechi knocked him down and Ueno rolled Dieno over to pin him and win the title once more.

By this point Kazuki Hirata grabbed the microphone and told everyone he only came to Korakuen Hall today for one thing and one thing only… to dance! He pulled out the Hirata GO! glasses and danced in the bleachers with Takechi joining in. They then both agreed to get into the ring and continue fighting in there. Takechi immediately put Hirata in a Crab Hold and Hirata instantly began tapping out. Matsui finally regained consciousness, had the bell ring to officially start the match and then had the bell ring again to end it with Takechi winning the match in exactly one second.

Hisaya Imabayashi got on the microphone but it wasn’t to complain about what just happened. Instead he praised everybody for giving the fans a great show even though the match was only one second long! Takechi then apologized to Sasadango for missing the Muscle& show and asked for another chance. Sasadango forgave him and the two shook hands. Hirata then suddenly pinned Ueno out of nowhere and ran off with the Iron Man Title! However a few minutes later everyone caught Hirata backstage and they all piled on top of him for a pinfall. Sasadango was the one directly on top of Hirata so he was declared the champion and he remains so at the time of writing.

A far more normal wrestling match happened before this. Sanshiro Takagi wanted to impress people by doing the Dragon Ring In but he jumped right into Naomi Yoshimura kicking him. Yuki Ishida thought he had Masami Inahata all figured out until Inahata countered the Ensho into a Spinning Body Slam. Yoshimura then shrugged off Ishida’s strikes to pin him with the Harai-goshi.

Still with me? Okay let’s move onto the announcements. The biggest news to come out of today’s show is that Shinya Aoki will be joining DDT on a full time basis! He will officially become a DDT wrestler on 3rd November, the same day he faces Zack Sabre Jr. at Sumo Hall. He promised to win that match as a DDT wrestler. Sanshiro Takagi said he’s worked with Aoki for a long time now and he is truly moved that Aoki is now joining DDT. Aoki described the decision as him further shifting away from MMO and towards pro wrestling. The idea to him felt right after Yuki Ueno was in his corner for his recent RIZIN fight. Takagi also thinks that it was necessary for Aoki to fully immerse himself in pro wrestling at least once in his life.

Some other important news is the appearance of three trainees who will soon make their pro wrestling debuts. The new rookies are (from left to right above) Haruki Satoh from Niigata, Maito Furuhashi from Aichi and Shuntaro Kobayashi from Chiba. All three of them will have their debut matches on 9th December. There is no mention yet if they will all debut in the same match or will be put into separate bouts by themselves.

And there’s one more new addition to the company. The voice actor Kouhei Sueyasu has joined DDT as a ring announcer. He is from the same talent agency and Tetsu Inada.

DDT “NANIWA PRO WRESTLING ROAD 2026” Results

October 4, 2026

DDT “NANIWA PRO WRESTLING ROAD 2026”, 04/10/2026
Osaka City Higashiyodogawa Ward Kumin Hall
??? fans – Unannounced

3. Iron Man Heavyweight Title: Yuki Ueno defeated Masami Inahata with a Sleeper Hold (13:09).
*Yuki Ueno becomes the 1,915th champion.
4. Special 8-Man Tag Match: Daisuke Sasaki, Hideki Okatani, MJ Paul & Ilusion defeated Shunma Katsumata, Yuni, Kazuma Sumi & Kumadori when Ilusion pinned Yuni with the Chinga Tu Madre! (10:21).
5. STRANGE LOVE CONNECTION Vs FANTÔMES DRAMATIC!: MAO, KANON & Yukio Naya (w/ KIMIHIRO) defeated Chris Brookes, HARASHIMA & Antonio Honda when MAO pinned Honda with the Bridging Gego Clutch (18:59).
6. Naomi Yoshimura 10th Anniversary Debut Match ~ Special Single Match: Zeus defeated Naomi Yoshimura with the Jackhammer (12:21).

Kind of hard to believe that Naomi Yoshimura’s been wrestling for ten years now. Looking back I have to wonder how much more prolific he would have been in DDT if he never suffered his neck injury at the very end of 2018. The man who got Yoshimura into wrestling in the first place is Zeus from Osaka Pro which made him the perfect opponent for Yoshimura for his 10th Anniversary match. It became a battle of Chops and while Yoshimura was able to take Zeus down with the Hirai-goshi, he was beaten in the end by Zeus’s Jackhammer. Yoshimura said Zeus is the wrester he admires most for paving the way for him. He was also the one who taught Yoshimura how to write up his resume to DDT (he had to re-do it twice). Zeus told the story of the day a young man showed up in his gym with an amazing physique and an incredible drive to push himself. He asked him what is his goal for the future and the young man answered “pastry chef”. As thanks for today’s match, Zeus invited Yoshimura to compete at his own 20th Anniversary show in Osaka Pro taking place on 11th October. Yoshimura said he would love to. He closed out the show saying the DNA generation are currently driving DDT forward and right now he is the No. 1 heavyweight in the company!

The energy levels surrounding the upcoming KO-D Openweight Title match have started off unusually low. MAO and Strange Love Connection are starting to miss Viento Levante while he is away with injury and Yuki Iino will be leaving them for NOAH soon as well. Meanwhile Chris Brookes is being open about wrestling while his back and elbow are both hurting. However he is confident he will be in good condition for Sumo Hall. It resulted in today’s preview match between SLC and FANTÔMES DRAMATIC to be more of a feeling out process than a big sprint.

A new Iron Man Heavymetalweight Champion needed to be crowned when the previous champion Shinjuku FACE shut down and now no longer exists. Yuki Ueno and Masami Inahata were chosen to fight for the vacant title and Ueno picked up the win by using the Blackout Sleeper to transition into a more regular Sleeper Hold. Ueno decided he wants to actively defend this championship to build up to his DDT Extreme Title match with Shunma Katsumata so it will end up becoming a Double Title match! He will become the “Iron Man” fitting to hold this championship.

No decision has been made if this will become a regular thing for Futaba or just a one time match.

Earlier today Tokyo Joshi Pro said its goodbyes to Shinjuku FACE. When the evening came around it was DDT’s turn to do the same. Their idea of a grand sendoff was to do a massive 4 Way Elimination match between four teams of four wrestlers each. Strange Love Connection, DAMNATION T.A and FANTÔMES DRAMATIC made up three of the teams while the fourth was an alliance of The 37KAMIINA & NωA Jr. Originally, Danshoku Dieno was meant to be on that team but he had to pull out on short notice due to illness. The match itself was held under Falls Count Anywhere rules and some really wanted to take that rule to the extreme. MAO and Chris Brookes tried to bring the fight out of the building out to the streets of Shinjuku but nearby security prevented them from making it far past the building’s entrance. When the dust settled, SLC were the last team standing with MAO scoring the final elimination.

A week ago Shinya Aoki & Junta Miyawaki agreed to give paleyouth a shot at the KO-D Tag Team Titles as long as Yuya Koroku lost some weight. Aoki continued to give Koroku a hard time over his alleged heaviness in the match by targeting his midsection. However Koroku was there to make the save for Takeshi Masada when the match was on the line. Aoki took him out with a Topé Suicida but Miyawaki wasn’t able to put Masada away by himself. Instead Masada made a comeback and pinned Miyawaki with his finisher to win the titles! After the match Soma Takao appeared in the ring alongside his ROMANCE DAWN tag partner Shota. Today was Takao’s last match under contract to DDT and he is now a freelancer. That doesn’t mean DDT won’t stop booking him though. Since both members of ROMANCE DAWN are now freelancers they are hungrier than ever to challenge for the KO-D Tag Titles! Masada wasn’t sure about accepting the challenge but Koroku wants to avenge last week’s defeat to Takao so the title match will happen on 18th October.

A variation of the Lumberjack Match was used for the DDT Extreme Title bout. Shunma Katsumata and Ryota Nakatsu brought along their own lumberjacks who were allowed to attack the opponent should he be knocked out of the ring. Katsumata had Kazuma Sumi, Yuni and Yuki Ishida while Nakatsu brought along Takumi Tsukamoto and Masato Kamino from BASARA. The lumberjacks carried both wrestlers on their shoulders for a “cavalry” fight at ringside at one point. Back in the ring, Nakatsu grabbed hold of Katsumata for Kamino to hit with a Lariat along the ring apron but Katsumata ducked and Nakatsu got him instead. Katsumata then capitalized with a German Suplex to pin Nakatsu and remain the champion. Katsumata then decided to nominate Yuki Ueno as his next challenger for Sumo Hall on 3rd November! They just fought for Katsumata’s 10th Anniversary match and he does not want to wait until the 20th Anniversary to wrestle him again. Ueno refused at first but he was just joking. He accepted the challenge and said it is not just so he can wrestle his friend again. He also wants to show everyone he can do entertaining Extreme Title matches too.

Today was also Gota Ihashi’s final appearance under a DDT contract before going freelance. Unlike Takao, he did not find a way to still get a title shot or other further DDT bookings in the short term. But he did get to say goodbye along with Takao and thank everyone for supporting him over the last 17 years.

Due to Dieno’s absence, Sumi took his spot in the main event and Tomomitsu Matsunaga filled in for Sumi in the dark match. Also at the end of the show To-y put on a pair of Danshoku tights so Dieno could have some kind of presence for DDT’s final Shinjuku FACE show.

Everyone gathered together at the end of the show to say farewell to Shinjuku FACE. Sanshiro Takagi said DDT has been indebted to the venue for 21 years and they were never reprimanded for anything they did here. He’s certain nothing they did today would get them in trouble too. No other venue treated DDT so generously. With that being said, Daisuke Sasaki broke off a piece of one of the walls with the intention of auctioning it off for 200 million yen. If he makes that much he’ll use the money to build a new Shinjuku FACE by himself.

7. KO-D Openweight Title: MAO (c) defeated Fuminori Abe with a Bridging Gedo Clutch (19:14).

*Ilusion cashes in his Right To Challenge Anytime, Anywhere, Anytime, Anywhere Gauntlet. Ilusion wins Sanshiro Takagi’s Right To Challenge Anytime, Anywhere Gauntlet.
-. KO-D Openweight Title: MAO (c) defeated Ilusion with the Cannonball 450° (4:35).
*V4 for MAO. Ilusion cashes in his Right To Challenge Anytime, Anywhere Gauntlet.

The KO-D Openweight Title situation is now changing to the point that wherever MAO goes, chaos ends up following him. For the second time in his reign he has now defended the title twice in back to back matches thanks to shenanigans involving the Right To Challenge Anytime, Anywhere Gauntlets. Today’s main event started off with MAO putting the belt on the line against Fuminori Abe. The match called back to a bout they had two years ago when a kick to the gut led to Abe throwing up in his mouth a little. There was a risk of it happening again today but Abe was able to prevent himself from repeating his embarrassing moment. The playful actions between the two turned more competitive as the match went on, turning to a tit-for-tat game of one-upmanship. MAO was one step ahead of Abe for the finish, countering the Manjigatame and setting up a series of back and forth cradle pins that ended with MAO using a bridging version of the Gedo Clutch to win the match.

Then things started to get crazy. Sanshiro Takagi walked out after the match promising to avenge Abe’s defeat by cashing in his Right To Challenge Gauntlet on MAO just like he did at Sumo Hall last month. However, Ilsuion then showed up carrying the Right To Challenge Anytime, Anywhere, Anytime, Anywhere Gauntlet he won earlier in the night (and also created in the very first place) and he declared he was cashing it in on Takagi’s Gauntlet! A match between Takagi and Ilusion began right away and the two tried to out-Stunner each other. Ilusion caught Takagi with an Enzuigiri afterward and grabbed him into the Chinga Tu Madre! cradle for a three count out of nowhere. So now Ilusion holds the last remaining Gauntlet for a KO-D Title shot. Ilusion told MAO he is too tired from the match he just had to cash in and he still has the rest of the month to use his prize so he’s going to make MAO wait for their title match…

Just kidding! Ilusion suddenly gave MAO a Low Blow and decided he was cashing in his title show right away! A bonus KO-D Title match then began with Ilusion trying to roll up MAO for a quick win while other wrestlers from DAMNATION T.A removed one of the turnbuckle pads. MAO hit the exposed buckle but was able to dodge the Swanton Bomb. Ilusion used another Low Blow and got to do the Chinga Tu Madre! again but MAO kicked out of it. DAMNATION T.A interfered further until Yukio Naya, KANON & KIMIHIRO showed up to fight them off, leaving MAO to knock down Ilusion with a Palm Strike and then pin him with the Cannonball 450°. When that was over MAO talked about the chaos that’s happening in DDT right now before turning his thoughts over to Abe. MAO wants to keep fighting Abe as his ideal rival even when they both grow old because they get to discover how deep the world of pro wrestling can go.

The KO-D Title picture is now completely cleared out after today. All of the Right To Challenge Gauntlets have been used up and a No. 1 Contender has not emerged while the dust is still settling. Hisaya Imabayashi asked MAO to nominated his next challenger for the Sumo Hall show on 3rd November. MAO said he had already faced Yuki Ueno in the main event of Ryogoku but there is one other person he wants to share that experience with. It’s Chris Brookes! He is the person MAO keeps coming back to because Brookes chose DDT and stayed with them at a time when all of his friends in the UK chose other companies. MAO wants himself, Ueno and Brookes to be part of this moment where it feels like DDT has finally overcome its tough times. He doesn’t mind if the match gets so crazy it ends in a Double Count Out as long as the match is with Brookes. They have been setting ARENA Shimokitazawa on fire with Baka Gaijin + Friends so now they will do the same to Sumo Hall!

Ryusuke Taguchi was putting more than just the DDT Universal Title on the line when he fought Antonio Honda. He was also fighting for his son’s admiration! Ryusuke’s son Shisho Taguchi is currently a musician and became acquainted with Honda after seeing his band Daisetz live. Honda taunted Ryusuke by making it his goal to win the Universal Title and use it to pose for a picture with Shisho, something that Shisho has never done with his father throughout his life! Shisho was in attendance for the match and Honda couldn’t resist to get him involved. He held Ryusuke for Shisho to chop him but Shisho couldn’t bring himself to attack his own dad. However when Ryusuke reversed the position with Honda, Shisho also couldn’t bring himself to hit his friend! Ryusuke brought the match back to the ring where he worked over Honda’s knee. Honda used the powers of Gongitsune and Hiroyoshi Tenzan to fight back but Taguchi would keep the match in his control and submit Honda with the Ankle Lock. The match got a happy ending backstage when Ryusuke, Shisho and Honda all took a picture together with the Universal Title belt.

The Universal Title is also going to take a trip over to New Japan soon. Taguchi asked Akito after the match if he could defend the belt over there because he is feuding with Dick Togo on the current tour. Taguchi pointed out that he has already defended the title against Daisuke Sasaki and Antonio Honda so it would be a great story if his next defence would be against their mentor Togo. Akito said plans were already being made for a title defence to happen at DDT’s next Korakuen Hall show on 18th October but he will allow Taguchi to defend it in NJPW before then. After the show had ended it was confirmed that Taguchi will put the title on the line against Togo at New Japan’s 17th October show in Hokkaido. Then the winner will come back to DDT on the 18th for a title match against Akito! Taguchi promised to give it his all and return to DDT with the Universal Title, but he also admitted he may only give Togo 50% effort so he apologizes to everyone in DDT in advance should he end up losing the belt to Togo. He also promised to continue pitching Kazuma Sumi to be his tag partner for the upcoming Super Jr. Tag League.

You can see why Ilusion had a plan in place for today. He’s been collecting so many championship belts lately that he could have ended the day with the cherry on top that is the KO-D Title. Instead he just has to live with winning the KO-D 6-Man Tag Team Titles with DAMNATION T.A again. He continues his masked man rivalry with Viento Levante and had MJ Paul to pull out the referee just when it looked like the match would be lost to Strange Love Connection. More cheating happened with Daisuke Sasaki & Hideki Okatani attacking KANON & Yukio Naya with chairs and bamboo sticks. Levante finally got his hands on Ilusion and tried to choke him out with a Sleeper Hold but Ilusion escaped and trapped Levante in the Chinga Tu Madre! to pin him and win the titles. Ilusion added insult to injury after the match by telling Levante it doesn’t matter if he changes his name and goes to Mexico, he is still the same small fry he always was.

DAMNATION T.A then announced they will not be taking on all comers for the KO-D 6-Man Tag Titles. Instead they will decide who they will defend the belts against. However, NωA Jr. entered the ring to make their argument towards getting a title shot. Sumi said now is a crucial moment for the trio because they are all back together now. Shunma Katasumata has returned from injury while Yuni had finished his college entrance exams. The three of them now want to show everyone a view that only they can create as the champions. Ilusion said he might accept the challenge if NωA Jr. approach him backstage and beg on their knees for the match. Hisaya Imabayashi ignored him and confirmed NωA Jr. will get a title shot on 27th September. Backstage Sasaki predicted DDT are going to strip DAMNATION T.A of the titles again like last time so they may as well vacate them before it happens. Ilusion wants the group’s top priority to be them crushing the wannabe idols first and then they can vacate the belts.

Has Mr. IWGP now become Mr. Iron Man? Yuji Nagata was the special guest for a match celebrating the 34th Anniversary of Jun Akiyama’s debut. Nagata and Akiyama bought made their debuts in 1992 and have been generational counterparts divided by separate companies ever since. Akiyama got to start off the match with HARASHIMA and that meant Nagata was paired off with Danshoku Dieno. That meant Nagata would inevitably get a face full of Dieno’s Hell Gate but that just awakened the demon inside him! Nagata threw Dieno over with an Exploder Suplex and then pulled HARASHIMA into the Nagata Lock II. Akiyama meanwhile applied the Front Neck Lock onto Dieno, who rather than tap out decided to pull down his tights instead. Yukinori Matsui called off the match to avoid the incident from getting worse and declared that Akiyama had won the Iron Man Heavymetalweight Title from Dieno. But while Akiyama celebrated with his title, Nagata rolled him up for a pinfall and won the belt off him! Akiyama later tried to win it back off him backstage but couldn’t pull it off. Now the question is does this count as a New Japan wrestler taking away the Iron Man Title or is it a Super Japan wrestler that did it?

With MMA now seemingly behind him, Shinya Aoki can put more of his focus on being a menace in the pro wrestling ring. He quickly showed off his skill in the 3 Way Tag by grabbing both Brookes and Yuki Ishida in a Double Manjigatame style hold at the same time. Junta Miyawaki carried over the momentum by cutting off a double team from Hinata Kasai and Masami Inahata. Aoki also ruined the rubber band spot and threw the thing away. He paid for that when Ishida got to use the spot against him. Miyawaki found himself alone against the two other teams but the action broke down to the point where Aoki could take out a bunch of wrestlers with a Topé Suicida, leaving Miyawaki alone with Kasai in the ring. Kasai didn’t have what it takes to take Miyawaki down and the match ended with him getting pinned with the Sunshine Suplex.

The KO-D Tag Team Champions were then confronted by paleyouth after the match. Both Takeshi Masada & Yuya Koroku claimed they have been starving ever since they lost the KO-D 6-Man Tag Titles. Aoki disagreed and pointed to Koroku, calling him fat. Masada said Aoki is wrong because Aoki is super skinny compared to everyone else. paleyouth then asked for a title shot and got what they wanted. Miyawaki was complimentary to Masada because they are both the same age but Aoki continued to call Koroku fat and advised him to slim down before the match takes place on 27th September. Koroku promised to get himself shredded but he doesn’t appreciate having to do it on a week’s notice.

Soma Takao’s farewell tour of DDT continues with a singles match against Kazuki Hirata happening today. He was on pace to beat Hirata in quick fashion but when he held him upside down for the Gin And Tonic, Hirata pleaded to be let go because he had something important to say. When Hirata was freed he took out a heartfelt letter he wrote about the memories he made with Takao. He is sad that their time together is ending so before Takao goes, Hirata wanted to dance with him one more time. Takao wasn’t really interested in doing that but Hirata forcefully put the Hirata GO! glasses onto his face and he couldn’t help but get into the mood when the music played. They danced together and then continued to wrestle, ending in short order when Takao pinned Hirata with the Gin And Tonic.

Before Akiyama’s 34th Anniversary match happened, there was Daichi Sato’s 5th Anniversary to celebrate first. The teenage heavyweight was on the winning side with the rest of paleyouth as they defeated The 37KAMIINA in the opener. To-y got a mouthful of Masada’s fingers once again and was double teamed by different combinations of paleyouth until Masada & Koroku finished him off.

Two of the NωA Jr. had a tune up tag match on the pre-show. Kazuma Sumi and Yuni were on opposite sides of a tag match with Naomi Yoshimura and Tomomitsu Matsunaga also involved. Matsunaga was put off by Sumi’s speed and threatened to use a fan in the front row as a human shield to stop Sumi from doing a dive out of the ring. Yuni did not use such outside the box thinking tactics and was pinned by Sumi who used the School Boy as a counter for Yuni’s own cradle attempts.

5b. Antonio Honda eliminated Yukio Naya by Ring Out (9:52).
5c. KANON eliminated Kazuki Hirata (c) with the LONELY DEZIRES (16:32).
6. Super Sasadango Machine 24th Anniversary Match – Special Single Match: HARASHIMA defeated Super Sasadango Machine with the Somato (13:27).
-. Iron Man Heavymetalweight Title: Danshoku Dieno defeated Ilusion (c) with the Lip Lock (3:13 pm).
*Danshoku Dieno becomes the 1,907th champion.

The Hero of Niigata suffered a crushing defeat for his homecoming but he doesn’t mind that. Super Sasadango Machine has a lot of history with HARASHIMA going back to Sasadango’s very first match in June 2002 when a trainee named Yoshihiro Sakai fought HARASHIMA’s masked alter ego HERO! in the dark match. Sakai didn’t properly debut until 2004 and he wrestled for years as Muscle Sakai before retiring and then returning under the hood as Super Sasadango Machine. Because of this history, Sasadango made a request for today’s match against HARASHIMA to commemorate the 24th Anniversary of his very first match because he wonders how his career would have turned out if he had kicked out of the HERO! Splash at the 2.9 count. During the match HARASHIMA purposely used HERO!’s moves on Sasadango including the HERO! Splash. Sasadango soon decided to wrestle the rest of the match unmasked so he could catch his breath and he combated HARASHIMA’s Middle Kicks with Dropkicks. He also hit the Vertical Drop Lehman Shock but HARASHIMA kicked out of it and soon hit the Somato for the victory.

After the match HARASHIMA thanked Sasadango for bringing back some fun memories they made together. Sasadango was still lying on the mat when he asked HARASHIMA how he could move around so easily when their careers are just one year apart? Sasadango was never able to close that gap but it is because of these gaps that people like Sasadango are able to keep wrestling. This might be the last singles match they’re ever going to have (HARASHIMA disagreed) but Sasadango wants everyone from his generation to stick around and work hard for DDT a little while longer.

There were rumblings going about that a new wrestling unit wanted to form to fight against Strange Love Connection. Before Match #5 began Danshoku Dieno, Kazuki Hirata & Antonio Honda wanted to create a new faction called DAH. They came up with the name because the wrestlers would turn into Dieno The Dangerous, Anton The Amazing and Hirata The Heel. SLC decided to turn the match into a Captain’s Fall Handicap Match. If SLC lost then they would split up so DAH could take their place as a DDT unit! SLC actually almost lost the match with most of their members getting eliminated and the team captain KIMIHIRO getting knocked out with a chair shot. But KANON saved the day by pinning captain Hirata directly to win the match and prevent DAH from ever becoming a thing.

Sasadango did not wrestle the match wearing his Sasadango Championship belt because Ilusion still holds claim to that title. At the end of the show Ilusion brought the belt out to brag about it. While doing that he became unaware of Danshoku Dieno sneaking into the ring behind him. Dieno turned Ilusion around and gave him the Lip Lock before pinning him to win the Iron Man Heavymetalweight Title.

*Special Referee: Jushin Thunder Liger
6. SETUP All Asia Women’s Title: Shoko Nakajima (c) Vs Zara Zakher
7. EVE International Title: Miyu Yamashita (c) Vs Arisu Endo
8. Princess Tag Team Titles: Miu Watanabe & Rika Tatsumi (c) Vs Yuki Aino & Haru Kazashiro
9. Princess Of Princess Title: Yuki Arai (c) Vs Suzume

We’re getting an International Championship match on the show after all, just not the International Princess Title. Instead it is the EVE International Title that will be on the line when Miyu Yamashita and Arisu Endo have their rematch from last year’s Tokyo Princess Cup. Just because Endo won last time doesn’t mean she believes she has now made it up to equal footing with Yamashita. Winning a championship off her sure would confirm it though.

The challenger for Shoko Nakajima has been found. It’s the return of Zara Zakher to Tokyo Joshi Pro! Her last appearance in TJPW was at the 2025 Las Vegas show during WrestleMania Weekend. Since then she had been signed to a WWE ID deal and according to TJPW that project was a reason why Zakher hasn’t come back to Japan until now. In the meantime she still had faint connections to TJPW in America thanks to Kitsune booking her in matches against Yamashita and Kamifuku. Now for her first match back in Japan she gets to challenge Nakajima for the SETUP All Asia Women’s Title.

Something I completely forgot when Go Nagai got involved with the marketing for this show is the man is responsible for creating the character of Jushin Liger in the first place! So since Nagai is part of the show, let’s have Liger get involved too. He’s been selected to be the referee for a match between Mizuki and Hyper Misao. Both wrestlers think they will benefit from Liger’s officiating, Mizuki because she claims to be a good girl and Misao because she claims to be a super hero.

The newest rookie in TJPW is Chieri Sakimori, the first person to debut after coming through TJPW’s wrestling camps that are held several times a month at their dojo. Sakimori is from Fukuoka and stands 154cm tall. She discovered TJPW from their collab show with OCHA NORMA last December and has a rhythmic gymnastics background from her elementary and junior high school years. She also currently runs a salon, working there as an eyelash artist.

There is expected to be one or two more matches added to the card before it gets finalized.

4. Special 6-Man Tag Match: Takeshi Masada, Yuya Koroku & Daichi Sato defeated To-y, Kazuma Sumi & Kaisei Takechi when Masada pinned Sumi after The Roar For Tomorrow Created By Takeshi And Yuya (13:07).
5. Special Tag Match: Yuki Ueno & Naomi Yoshimura defeated Daisuke Sasaki & Soma Takao when Yoshimura pinned Takao with the Harai-goshi (13:41).
6. Special Tag Match: MAO & Yuki Iino defeated Fuminori Abe & HARASHIMA when MAO pinned Abe with a Manjigatame Counter (16:32).
-. Iron Man Heavymetalweight Title: Ilusion defeated Masami Inahata (c) with a Cradle (9:03 pm).
*Ilusion becomes the 1,906th champion.

The pressure is getting to Fuminori Abe. He even admits it himself. There was a contract signing at the start of the show for his KO-D Openweight Title match against MAO. Abe joked that earlier in the day he took an interview about the match, went to use the restroom and ended up accidentally soiling himself. It makes him wonder if MAO is triggering something deep within his psyche because this happened and there was also that time MAO made him throw up during a match. MAO got one over on Abe again in the main event but he can thank Yuki Iino for that. Iino charged across the ring with HARASHIMA on his back to throw a Lariat at Abe while Abe held MAO in the Manjigatame. The Lariat hit its target and MAO cradled Abe over to pin him for the three count. Abe doesn’t like to lose but he has his heart set on forging his own path. He told MAO if he was to beat him for the KO-D Title on 21st September then things would get really chaotic in DDT! After he left, MAO talked about Iino and how he wished they would have teamed up more in Strange Love Connection. If Iino ever wins the GHC Heavyweight Title then MAO will keep a close eye on him because Iino will always be born and raised in DDT.

Soma Takao rediscovered his old self when teaming up with Daisuke Sasaki for one last time. He wore an original DAMNATION shirt instead of a Dropkick Bar shirt and wrestled the match like a heel.

A new match has been put together for “ULTIMATE PARTY 2026” based around the D GENERATIONS wrestlers. To-y & Kaisei Takechi are going to join forces to take on KANON & Kumadori! That Takechi and Kumadori both have street dancing backgrounds is an element that Kumadori is excited about. Takechi however pointed out he’s been dancing since he was two years old so he has the edge over his masked opponent. To-y wanted to fit is so he bragged about playing football since he was three and even went to college for it. He quit the team after just a week but forget about that. To-y wants to call himself and Takechi Team RAMPAGE but Takechi immdiately turned that down. To-y then suggested the name T2K2 but the reaction from everyone was luke warm at best. He’ll go think up of a better name but he would like to stick with T2K2.

The Iron Man Heavymetalweight Title saw some action in the middle of the show. Shunma Katsumata gave Kumadori a Low Blow after the 4 Way Tag and pinned him to win the belt. Then while Katsumata was taunting Kumadori, Masami Inahata rolled him up from behind to become the new champ. Earlier in the show Ilusion lost the Anytime, Anywhere, Anytime, Anywhere Gauntlet to Viento Levante but he got to leave Shinjuku FACE with something when he tripped over Inahata at the end of the show and pinned him to win the Iron Man Title once more.

DDT “SENDAI NEW LEGEND 2026 ~MAPO YAKISOBA~” Results

September 6, 2026

DDT “SENDAI NEW LEGEND 2026 ~MAPO YAKISOBA~”, 06/09/2026
Miyagi Yume Messe Miyagi
??? Fans – Unannounced

1. Makoto Oishi defeated Masami Inahata with the Jikiden Tornado Clutch (8:44).
2. Shunma Katsumata, Danshoku Dieno & Yuni defeated Kazuki Hirata, Akito & Hinata Kasai when Yuni pinned Kasai with the Jorge Clutch (10:25).
3. Yuki Iino & Yukio Naya defeated Junta Miyawaki & Yuki Ishida when Iino pinned Ishida with the Spear (11:17).
4. Chris Brookes, HARASHIMA & Antonio Honda defeated Jun Akiyama, Tomomitsu Matsunaga & Kazuma Sumi when Honda pinned Matsunaga with a Flying Sunset Flip (11:14).
5. DAMNATION T.A Vs paleyouth!: Daisuke Sasaki, Hideki Okatani & Ilusion defeated Takeshi Masada, Yuya Koroku & Daichi Sato when Ilusion pinned Masada with the Chinga Tu Madre! (13:35).
6. Special 6-Man Tag Match: MAO, KANON & Viento Levante (w/ KIMIHIRO) defeated Yuki Ueno, To-y & Kaisei Takechi when Levante pinned To-y after the Michinoku Tornado Driver (21:32).

Home sweet home for the KO-D Openweight Champion. Miyagi welcomed back MAO for his first match in the area since becoming the man on top in DDT. He was also there to represent Osaki City as an ambassador and helped Viento Levante get the win when they teamed up to give To-y the Michinoku Tornado Driver. The other team weren’t on the same page as much because To-y kept giving instructions to Kaisei Takechi that To-y would then ignore, rendering Takechi’s actions pointless. Yuki Ueno would take To-y’s side on the matter and tell Takechi to get a grip. To-y later lost his cool when he missed the T.O.Y dive and slapped everyone he could find, including Takechi. He didn’t slap Ueno though because Ueno calmed him down in time. That left both of them open to take a Double Lariat from KANON. The comeback didn’t immediately happen after that but Strange Love Connection were able to regroup and get the win. Even though Takechi doesn’t understand why To-y slapped him, he would still like to team with him and Ueno again so they can fight for the KO-D 6-Man Tag Team Titles.

Before the second match took place, Sanshiro Takagi had a talk with Hinata Kasai inside the ring. He told Kasai that documentaries are now the key to success in pro wrestling so he wants to make one about Kasai’s search for his first win. He is currently thinking of what to call the documentary and might name it something like “Sendai Soul” (this is all a parody of the “Sendai Girls Soul” series that’s been a factor in Sendai Girls’ recent success). Unfortunately, Kasai admitted he has no family in Sendai nor does he have any special feelings for the area. Takagi didn’t like that answer so he forced Kasai to act more passionate about Sendai if he’s going to get his first win here. Takagi even went as far as to interfere in Kasai’s match to help him win but Kasai had enough and kicked him out of the ring. He tried to fight the rest of his match with all of his might but lost anyway. Afterwards he got on the microphone to say he is the only one in DDT to never win a match but he does not want to give up. He’ll keep getting back up and promised when he comes back to Sendai he’ll have achieved his first win by then!

Yuki Iino Transferring To NOAH In November

September 3, 2026

A press conference was held at AbemaTowers in Shibuya today regarding the future wrestling career of Yuki Iino. It was announced that his contract with DDT is expiring on 3rd November and he will be transferring over to NOAH on a full time basis after that date. Iino has been wrestling for both promotions since May when he was revealed to be Manabu Soya’s mystery tag partner at a NOAH show. Since then the two have been teaming together as Jonetsu MAX and they have won both the Neo Global Tag League as well as the GHC Tag Team Titles. He has a handful of dates with DDT remaining throughout September and October that will take place in between the N1 Victory tournament that he is also entering over in NOAH that month. His final match as a DDT wrestler will be at “ULTIMATE PARTY 2026” in Sumo Hall on 3rd November. If he gets the chance to pick his opponent for that show his choice would be Yukio Naya, his tag partner from The Apex.

Iino was joined by Sanshiro Takagi and Naomichi Marufuji for the press conference. He said he’s been teaming with Soya with maximum passion these last few months and now wants to take a big leap forward towards doing more powerful pro wrestling as a heavyweight in NOAH. He is grateful towards Takagi for agreeing to his request and asks for the fans to continue giving their support. Takagi said that while DDT does have heavyweight wrestlers on their roster, he saw how hard Iino has been working to do something new in NOAH and wants to respect his wish to transfer between promotions. The process was easy to set up because DDT and NOAH are both under CyberFight ownership and Takagi thinks it is exciting news. He also opened up the door for Iino to someday wrestle in DDT again, but this time as a NOAH representative. Marufuji said he saw no reason to decline Iino’s request after talking to both him and Takagi. He has high expectations for Iino after seeing firsthand how serious he takes wrestling inside the ring and training outside of it. He hopes Iino will showcase what makes him different from the other NOAH wrestlers. Marufuji also joked that Iino has a body that is worth Chopping.

Iino has already told everyone in Strange Love Connection about his plan to leave DDT and join NOAH. Everyone there was happy for him and are encouraging him to do his best, especially Yukio Naya. Iino said he wants Naya to win the KO-D Openweight Title while he goes to win the GHC Heavyweight Title so both of them can be the top champions at the same time. He also said his most memorable time in DDT was teaming with Danshoku Dieno as part of Pheromones because it was his breakthrough gimmick. He never imagined he would do the things he did back then but it showed a lot of different sides to him (he can say that again). His one regret is never getting to win the KO-D Title so if he achieves the results he wants in NOAH, he may consider coming back to DDT and challenge for the championship again some day. Iino is also looking forward to locking up with Tetsuya Endo again in a NOAH ring.
