She gave a little explanation on Twitter, saying it has nothing to do with injury or illness. She later tweeted a picture of her passport supposedly taken at an airport and said she’s been busy. Has the little birdie migrated somewhere warmer for the winter?

1. Iron Man Heavymetalweight Title – Falls Count Anywhere 4 Way Match: Shinya Aoki (c) defeated Chris Brookes, Shunma Katsumata and Yukio Naya when Aoki pinned Naya with the European Clutch (25:39).
*V1 for Shinya Aoki.

The folks at DDT have taken a liking to Kumamoto Castle Natural Hot Spring and vice versa. The hot spring’s director invited Shinya Aoki to defend the Iron Man Heavymetalweight Title inside the spring. Aoki and his three challengers wasted no time in starting the match.

First they fought in the dressing room but quickly made their way into the public baths. Shunma Katsumata tortured everyone by pouring jugs of hot water over them. Chris Brookes threw him into a castle of chairs for revenge.

Yukio Naya was thrown into a hot shower where he fainted in agony. Katsumata tortured Brookes even further with dripping hot water. Naya knocked all three of his opponents into the electric bath, giving them all electric shocks.

The fight moved over to the bathroom where Toui Kojima was dragged into the chaos. Then it was over to the open-air bath where Katsumata did two Moonsaults. Everyone moved out of the way so he landed in the baths both times. He was able to give Brookes a Death Valley Bomb but Aoki broke the count.

Aoki and Katsumata fought their way into the sauna. Katsumata used a towel to send heat waves into his opponent but all it did was revitalise Aoki! He countered the ¡Hasta la vista! into a Sleeper Hold but Naya broke it up. Naya put Aoki in the Cobra Twist but Aoki skillfully escaped the hold. He then rolled Naya up in a European Clutch in the sauna to get the 3 count for a successful title defence.

Aoki celebrated the win by first taking a bath and then second challenge Brookes for the DDT Extreme Title. He asked Brookes for a handshake but Brookes splashed water into his face and then ran off. It was decided that a Double Title match between Brookes and Aoki will take place on 15th July!

*Sanshiro Takagi fails in V11. Shunma Katsumata becomes the 50th DDT Extreme Champion!

Sanshiro Takagi and the DDT Extreme Title went back to the hot springs for his next crazy title defence. This time he was in a hot spring in Kumamoto to fight Shunma Katsumata and Batten x Burabura at the same time. But he had a surprise announcement to make. The match is a 45 minute 3 Way Ironman contest with Keigo Nakamura as the referee! Nakamura kept the score by writing on his arm. At first only Takagi and Katsumata showed up when the match began. They were already tied 1-1 when Burabura finally appeared in the banquet hall to join in with a grand introduction. From this point on he was pretty much a punching bag for the other two and the score quickly rose higher and higher.

Katsumata pushed both Takagi and Burabura down a staircase. When they got back to their feet, Burabura started acting like Takagi and vice versa. Their tumble caused their bodies to swap! Katsumata pushed them both down the stairs again to bring them back to normal. More pinfalls were made as the match made its way to the bathhouse. The hot water was used to torture the wrestlers and a lot of pins happened in the baths. Even moments of peace resulted in pins when Katsumata covered his opponents while they relaxed in the whirlpool bath. Burabura kept trying to use his signature Elbow Drops but missed every time leading to more pinfalls. His clothes got so soaked it led to his backside getting exposed at one point.

Everyone moved over to the washing area. Katsumata submitted when Takagi washed his hair with body soap instead of shampoo. Nakamura updated everyone on the scores. Katsumata was at 14, Takagi was at 12 and Burabura was at 0. Burabura finally got a point when he Cradled Takagi but it was immediately reversed for Takagi to get his win back. Takagi built a castle out of chairs and bowled Burabura into them. Takagi then felt naughty and wanted to go into the women’s bathing area but Nakamura stopped him. Katsumata and Burabura sided with Takagi though and the three of them made their way into the women’s bath. It was here where Burabura finally hit his Elbow Drop by moving at high speed to win a second point.

Cold water and lotion were used as weapons. Burabura started racking up points when Katsumata kept submitting to the lotion being rubbed on him in a provocative manner. It led to everyone slipping around the room. Takagi stuck a shower head into Burabura’s mouth and switch it on. He then used the Spicolli Driver to throw Burabura into a bath for another pin. He kept pinning him for more points until Katsumata broke it up. That was the last of Burabura’s involvement in the match. Katsumata found a towel and was inspired to drag Takagi into the sauna with him.

Katsumata had the homefield advantage from this point on and used the sauna to beat Takagi several more times as the final minutes counted down. He used the towel to blow a heat wave at Takagi then pinned him with a DDT. The score was now tied with one minute left to go. Katsumata took out a ladder and did the Stuka Splash from it, pinning Takagi for the match winning point with seconds to go. The final score was Katsumata 25, Takagi 24 and Burabura 6.

Nakamura handed the Extreme Title to Katsumata and he celebrated. This is the first singles championship he has ever won! Katsumata said there is somebody he always wanted to defend the title against. He picked up a tiny rubber duck and said he wants to fight its dad, MAO! He told the rubber duck to go tell MAO he is the next challenger for the DDT Extreme Title!

5. Cabellera Contra No Apesta: Shota Vs Yasu Urano

The Independent World Jr. Heavyweight Title is no longer with Ganbare☆Pro after Shota lost the championship at a JUST TAP OUT show. His match with Yasu Urano will still go ahead but Urano still wants Shota to defend something so the match has some meaning. An agreement was made that Shota will cut off his hair on the spot if he loses. Urano however does not have to put anything on the line so nothing will happen to him if he loses. Going by that wording, a draw should spare Shota’s locks if that happens again.

Asuka is taking time off to recover from an ankle injury. Ayumi Hayashi from Actwres girl’z takes her place in the trios match.
