Aijin Tag Being Scouted, J-Rod Gets Vegas Title Shot, Puroresu Nylon

BASARA “BASARA 302 ~TAKAGARI 33~”, 21/03/2026
Tokyo Takashimadaira Kumin Center

1. Takeru Inoue Vs SAGAT
2. FUMA & Seiya Morohashi Vs Daichi Kazato & Ayato Yoshida
3. Isami Kodaka & Takato Nakano Vs Takumi Tsukamoto & Tatsuya Hanami
4. Daiki Shimomura Vs Masato Kamino
5. Battle Royal: Ryota Nakatsu Vs Ryuichi Sekine Vs Trans-Am ★ Hiroshi Vs Lil’ Kraken Vs Yasu Urano Vs Shuji Ishikawa

Let’s start up today with a rumour concerning Aijin Tag. Earlier this week, the Super J-Cast Patreon put out a report about New Japan looking into several pro wrestlers on the indies to bring onto their roster, particularly for the Junior Heavyweight division. Two of the names among them are Takato Nakano and Masato Kamino. There isn’t much extra info to that other than out of all the names the J-Cast heard about, the two BASARA wrestlers are the curveballs on the list. It’s something to keep in mind as we approach Best Of The Super Juniors season. Kamino in particular is a funny one because he is still being billed at weighing around 90kg but he’s looked larger than that for a while now.

GANBARE☆PRO “THERE WILL BE BLOOD 2026”, 28/03/2026
Shin-Kiba 1st RING

1. Spirit Of Ganbare World Openweight Title Next Challenger Determination – Round 1: Keisuke Ishii Vs Yuya Susumu
2. Spirit Of Ganbare World Openweight Title Next Challenger Determination – Round 1: Shuichiro Katsumura Vs PSYCHO
3. 3 Way Match: Moeka Haruhi Vs Taiwan Ramen Man Vs Hora-chan
4. Mizuki Watase & Shigehiro Irie Vs Shota Kawakami & Sentaro Motojima
5. Rin Vs YuuRI
6. Ken Ohka, Shinichiro Tominaga & Akira Shoji Vs Yumehito Imanari, Takuya Wada & Tyson Maeguchi
7. Spirit Of Ganbare World Openweight Title Next Challenger Determination – Final: X Vs X

The masked wrestler Taiwan Ramen Man is coming over from the Team DERA promotion in Nagoya. Now Moeka Haruhi has to deal with him along with returning opponent Hora-chan.

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “TJPW LIVE IN LAS VEGAS 2026”, 16/04/2026
Pearl Theater At Palms Casino Resort, Las Vegas, Nevada, USA

1. Princess Tag Team Titles: Yuki Kamifuku & Wakana Uehara (c) Vs X & X
2. Princess Of Princess Title: Miu Watanabe (c) Vs J-Rod

The winner of the Princess Of Princess Title match at “GRAND PRINCESS ’26” will go on to Las Vegas where they will defend the title against J-Rod. The returning American powerhouse has a lot going on lately. She is part of the series reboot of American Gladiators and the first episode will be released the day after this show takes place. Her Gladiator name hasn’t been revealed yet. She already fought Miu Watanabe for the Princess Title back in November but Yuki Arai could be a brand new opponent for her.

It was also announced that The IInspiration will be on this show. So it will be either them or Ober Eats who will be defending the Princess Tag Team Titles next month.

In regards to the previously announced International Princess Title match planned for the show, Tokyo Joshi Pro can no longer confirm that it will happen. They had intended to book MIRAI for the show but are unable to do so because of scheduling conflicts with Michinoku Pro. So for now there will just be two title matches happening in Las Vegas instead of three. That could change if Suzume beats MIRAI to win the IP Title but this news sure does feel like TJPW painted themselves into a corner and have to spoil the result of that match to get out of there.

BAKA GAIJIN + FRIENDS “LOVE FIGHTER – NYLON JAPAN 22ND ANNIVERSARY PARTY”, 24/04/2026
Shinjuku ZEROTOKYO

1. Chris Brookes, MAO & Sayaka Vs Mr. Bueno, Mr. Malo & Ram Kaichow

A new opportunity has opened up for Baka Gaijin + Friends. The fashion magazine NYLON JAPAN is celebrating its 22nd Anniversary this year and will be throwing a party inside a nightclub at the Kabukicho Tower. Baka Gaijin gets to be part of the festivities with a one-off match taking place. Pro wrestling is familiar ground for NYLON because they have printed wrestling themed issues and photoshoots in the past under the label PURORESU NYLON.

Shinjuku FACE Closing Down This Year, Super Japan You’re Confusing Me

March 10, 2026

DDT “ICHIKABACHIKA 2026”, 11/03/2026
Shinjuku FACE

0. Dark Match – Tokyo Joshi Pro Offer Match: Yuki Kamifuku & Kira Summer Vs Rika Tatsumi & Uta Takami
1. Special 6-Man Tag Match: Shinya Aoki, Junta Miyawaki & Viento Maligno Vs Chris Brookes, Kota Sekifuda & Hinata Kasai
2. Jun Akiyama & Kazuki Hirata Vs HARASHIMA & Antonio Honda
3. Daisuke Sasaki, Hideki Okatani, MJ Paul & Ilusion Vs Kazuma Sumi, Naomi Yoshimura, Ryota Nakatsu & Yuki Ishida
4. Special 6-Man Tag Match: Shishamo Power, Unagi Mask & Gota Ihashi Vs Yuki Iino, Yukio Naya & Tomomitsu Matsunaga
5. KO-D Tag Team Titles: MAO & KANON (c) (w/ KIMIHIRO) Vs Danshoku Dieno & Super Sasadango Machine
6. KO-D 6-Man Tag Team Titles: Yuki Ueno, To-y & Kaisei Takechi (c) Vs Takeshi Masada, Yuya Koroku & Daichi Sato

Rumours were swirling around yesterday when a Japanese wrestling blog Kakutolog posted a story about Shinjuku FACE possibly shutting down its doors later this year. Sadly, today the venue’s management confirmed that Shinjuku FACE will be closing down on 30th September when their fixed-term lease with the building expires. To say this is a blow for the Japanese wrestling scene is an understatement given how so many wrestling companies are based in Tokyo and have relied on Shinjuku FACE to put on shows that aren’t on the level of Korakuen Hall but are still easy to access deep in the heart of that city. If Korakuen Hall is where you go to get a heat check on a wrestling company, Shinjuku FACE is where you will experience that company’s status quo. It will have a negative effect on the CyberFight promotions for sure because of how often they’ve booked shows in there over the last 20 years.

Kota Sekifuda has been brought in to take the place of the injured Yuni in Match #1.

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “GRAND PRINCESS ’26: FATE IN RYOGOKU”, 15/03/2026
Tokyo Ryogoku KFC Hall

1. Shino Suzuki & Uta Takami Vs Chika Nanase & Shion Kanzaki
2. Kaya Toribami Vs HIMAWARI
3. 4 Way Match: Rika Tatsumi Vs Raku Vs Mahiro Kiryu Vs Mifu Ashida
4. Hyper Misao Vs Kira Summer
5. Mizuki Vs Pom Harajuku
6. Miyu Yamashita & Arisu Endo Vs Toga & Ren Konatsu
7. Miu Watanabe, Yuki Kamifuku, Wakana Uehara & Suzume Vs Yuki Arai, Shoko Nakajima, Yuki Aino & Haru Kazashiro

The final match of Kaya Toribami in her current gimmick will be against HIMAWARI. After that Toribami will become Sakura Hattori.

BASARA “BASARA 302 ~TAKAGARI 33~”, 21/03/2026
Tokyo Takashimadaira Kumin Center

1. Takeru Inoue Vs SAGAT
2. Daiki Shimomura Vs Masato Kamino
3. Isami Kodaka & Takato Nakano Vs Takumi Tsukamoto & Tatsuya Hanami
4. FUMA & Seiya Morohashi Vs Daichi Kazato & Ayato Yoshida
5. Battle Royal: Ryota Nakatsu Vs Ryuichi Sekine Vs Trans-Am ★ Hiroshi Vs Lil’ Kraken Vs Yasu Urano Vs Shuji Ishikawa

A little change of pace for the next BASARA show. A Battle Royal will take place and with Shuji Ishikawa taking part, the winner could be likely to get a Union MAX Title shot against him in the future. That’s the only reason I see this match happening.

SUPER JAPAN “JUDGEMENT”, 24/03/2026
Shinjuku FACE

1. 3 Way Match: Hiroshi Yamato Vs Gym Trainer Kotoka Vs Ippanjin Munenori Sawa
2. Evil Uno & Ram Kaichow Vs Shota & Marika Kobashi
3. Special 6-Man Tag Team Titles: Takashi Sasaki, Naoshi Sano & Demonio Uno Vs Brahman Shu, Brahman Kei & Mac Matsushita
4. Special Single Match: Kuroshio TOKYO Japan Vs Kumadori
5. Special Single Match: Yuji Nagata Vs Fuminori Abe
6. Special Single Match: Shinya Aoki Vs Kazunari Murakami
7. Special Single Match: Sanshiro Takagi Vs Poison Sawada JULIE

What in the hell is this lineup? We’re getting a 6-Man Tag Match between “Goro Tsurumi’s Genes” against the “Toryumon Genes”. Evil Uno is teaming up with Ram Kaichow even though there is also Demonio Uno on the show. The Gym Trainer Kotoka is back to fight the ordinary salaryman Munenori Sawa and city council wrestler Hiroshi Yamato. That’s not all, NOSAWA Rongai is now threatening to invade Super Japan with Mummy wrestlers so who know what else is going to happen here. Maybe at the end of the show the fans vote to shut the whole thing down.

GANBARE☆PRO “THERE WILL BE BLOOD 2026”, 28/03/2026
Shin-Kiba 1st RING

1. Next Challenger Determination – Round 1: Keisuke Ishii Vs Yuya Susumu
2. Next Challenger Determination – Round 1: Shuichiro Katsumura Vs PSYCHO
3. YuuRI Vs Rin
4. Next Challenger Determination – Final: X Vs X

A mini tournament has been put together to decide who will be the next Japanese wrestler to face Mizuki Watase for the Spirit Of Ganbare World Title (he wants to defend the belt in America next month). As part of this tournament Yuya Susumu will finally gets his long awaited singles match against Keisuke Ishii. The other side of the bracket sees Shuichiro Katsumura face PSYCHO.

A big month of singles matches lies ahead for YuuRI. She has two important opponents to fight soon, the first of which is Rin (aka Rin Kadokura) as part of Rin’s road to retirement.

DDT “NO SPOILERS EVENT VOL. 4 IN UENO”, 01/04/2026
Tokyo Ueno Park Outdoor Stage

1. Something With To-y & Kazuki Hirata: To-y Vs Kazuki Hirata
2. Playfulness Series Act 5: Danshoku Dieno Vs Hinata Kasai
3. DAMNATION T.A Vs Fake Daisuke Sasaki Army!: Hideki Okatani, MJ Paul & Ilusion Vs Nise Daisuke Sasaki A, Nise Daisuke Sasaki B & Deka Daisuke Sasaki
4. Special 3-Way Tag Match ~ Best Friends (Mav) Superior: MAO & KANON (w/ KIMIHIRO) Vs Yuki Ueno & Shunma Katsumata Vs Chris Brookes & HARASHIMA

A “No Spoilers” show being held on April Fool’s Day? Actually that might make it easy because nobody will be allowed to post prank results along with the real ones. By the time midnight comes it will be smooth sailing for me to post the results!

By this point Daisuke Sasaki will have started his tour of North America but while he is gone, three fakes of him are going to appear in his place. It will be up to the rest of DAMNATION T.A to deal with them.

GANBARE☆PRO “HATAAGE 13TH ANNIVERSARY – MAD MAX 2026”, 29/04/2026
Tokyo Korakuen Hall

1. YuuRI Vs Utami Hayashihita
2. Ken Ohka 25th Anniversary Match: Ken Ohka & Guts Ishijima Vs Masaaki Mochizuki & Ryota Nakatsu

Friends and foes alike will be gathering together to celebrate not only Ganbare☆Pro’s 13th Anniversary but also Ken Ohka’s 25th Anniversary in wrestling as well. He recently beat Guts Ishijima for the TTT Indie Unified Openweight Title but here they will be tag partners. Masaaki Mochizuki returns to GanPro for the first time since losing the SOG Title. Ryota Nakatsu is also coming over from BASARA to take part in Ohka’s match.

The second of YuuRI’s big matches will be against Marigold’s own Utami Hayashihita!

GANBARE☆PRO “A SCANNER DARKLY 2026” Results

February 22, 2026

GANBARE☆PRO “A SCANNER DARKLY 2026”, 22/02/2026
Tokyo Takashimadaira Kumin Center
187 Fans

1. Reiya Igarashi defeated Sentaro Motoshima with a Fisherman Suplex (9:13).
2. 3 Way Match: Moeka Haruhi defeated Papillon Akemi and Hora-chan when Haruhi pinned Akemi with the Ojosama Clutch (8:23).
3. Takuya Wada & PSYCHO defeated Ken Ohka & Shota Kawakami when Wada submitted Kawakami with the Armbar (13:25).
4. Shuichiro Katsumura, Yuya Susumu & YuuRI defeated Akira Shoji, Tyson Maeguchi & Chanyota when Susumu submitted Maeguchi with the Crossface Lock (13:10).
5. Yumehito Imanari & Shinichiro Tominaga defeated Keisuke Ishii & Choun Shiryu when Tomingaga pinned Shiryu with the Wine Hamon Overdrive (13:27).
6. Spirit Of Ganbare World Openweight Title: Mizuki Watase defeated Masaaki Mochizuki (c) with the Bare Elbow (18:10).
*Masaaki Mochizuki fails in V6. Mizuki Watase becomes the 10th Spirit Of Ganbare World Openweight Champion!

The reign of Masaaki Mochizuki has come to an end. Mizuki Watase is now a two time Spirit Of Ganbare World Champion! He took an early advantage when during a fight outside the ring, Mochizuki missed a kick and his leg made contact with the corner post. While that didn’t stop Mochizuki from throwing kicks, Watase taunted him by saying he will stand and take the blows until the leg breaks! Mochizuki went on to Middle Kick him 19 times before giving him the Twister but it only got him a two count. Watase went to use the Venetian but Mochizuki escaped and hit the Shin Saikyou High Kick. However Watase wasn’t knocked down by it and he hit back with an Elbow Strike followed by the Bare Elbow Strike, pinning Mochizuki down to the mat to get the pin and become champion again.

Watase was too beaten up to start talking immediately after the match so he allowed Mochizuki to speak first. Mochizuki said its been 10 months since his first match in Ganbare☆Pro and 6 months since he became the SOG Champion. He thanked the fans for cheering him on despite being an outsider and he values the enjoyable experience he’s had here. He though he would have held the SOG Title for the rest of his career but instead his mission ended today. He then wrapped the title belt around Watase and Watase thanked him for being a strong wall that made all of the GanPro wrestlers grow by fighting him. Watase told Michiyoshi Mishima he’s going to cause some trouble because he is booked for a death match in America this April (does he mean the Death Vegas Invitacional?) and he will bring the belt with him. But as long as he is here, GanPro will never die! All of the wrestlers celebrating him left the ring to end the show but Takuya Wada was the last one to get out. He made a signal to Watase that he wants to challenge him for the title.

Yuya Susumi returned to GanPro looking to get his singles match with Keisuke Ishii. He got the winning submission in his match then reappeared after Ishii’s match to confront him over the potential singles bout.

Not much is known about this newcomer other than he is nicknamed “EL TORBELLINO” and he claims he had been stripped of his identity one time before.

GANBARE☆PRO “A SCANNER DARKLY 2026”, 22/02/2026
Tokyo Takashimadaira Kumin Center

5. Shuichiro Katsumura, Yuya Susumu & YuuRI Vs Akira Shoji, Tyson Maeguchi & Chanyota
6. Spirit Of Ganbare World Openweight Title: Masaaki Mochizuki (c) Vs Mizuki Watase

Yesterday Yuna Manase suffered an injury during training and it was later diagnosed as a fractured collarbone. She is out of action for the time being and Ganbare☆Pro quickly went to work in finding wrestlers to substitute for her already scheduled matches. On Sunday Chanyota has agreed to step in on short notice.

GANBARE☆PRO “KINKI CHIHO NO ARU BASHO NI TSUITE 2026”, 01/03/2026

5. Spirit Of Ganbare World Tag Team Titles: Yumehito Imanari & Shinichiro Tominaga (c) Vs Ken Ohka & Hiroaki Moriya

GanPro are currently finalizing their decision to alter the card for the Osaka show. It may be that Manase’s match gets changed entirely rather than just having someone take her place.

Sato Injured, DGC Final, Urano’s Extreme Iron Man, GanPro In Osaka

February 10, 2026

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “SHOKO NAKAJIMA NIIGATA HOMECOMING – SHOKO QUEST IV: THOSE GUIDED BY THE SNOW COUNTRY”, 11/02/2026
Niigata Dúo CEREZO

1. 3 Way Match: Miyu Yamashita Vs Raku Vs Mahiro Kiryu
2. Arisu Endo Vs Shion Kanzaki
3. Suzume Vs Mifu Ashida
4. Max The Pompaler & Pom Harajuku Vs Hyper Misao & Chika Nanase
5. Miu Watanabe & Rika Tatsumi Vs Sara Phoenix & Kira Summer
6. Yuki Kamifuku, Wakana Uehara & Ren Konatsu V Mizuki, Shino Suzuki & Uta Takami
7. Shoko Nakajima, Yuki Aino & Haru Kazashiro Vs Yuki Arai, HIMAWARI & Toga

And then there’s the Tokyo Joshi Pro show over in Shoko Nakajima’s home area. Sadly she won’t have the MLW Women’s World Featherweight Title with her anymore. She lost it to Shotzi Blackheart at the MLW taping over the weekend.

DDT “NEPPA OVER FLOWERS 5 ~THE ONLY SAUNA IN THE WORLD~”, 14/02/2026
Shinjuku FACE

1. Young Boy Akito Nishigaki Shinjuku FACE Debut Match: Young Boy Akito Nishigaki Vs Rukiya
2. Shinya Aoki Vs Hinata Kasai
3. Special 6-Man Tag Match: Brahman Shu, Brahman Kei & Brahman Sasaki Vs Yuya Koroku, Yuni & Kazuma Sumi
4. Special 6-Man Tag Match: Shin KONOSUKE TAKESHITA, MAO & Takeshi Masada Vs Danshoku Dieno, Kazuki Hirata & Koju Takeda
5. Ueno Nordic Presents Special Single Match: Yuki Ueno Vs Pokotan (w/ Chris Bathooks, Naya Tonttu & Sauna Stones・Den)
6. Special Single Match: Minoru Suzuki Vs To-y

A rib injury from over the weekend has taken Daichi Sato out of action for around at least a fortnight. He will miss the next three DDT shows which means he should be back sometime after 22nd February. Yuya Koroku replaces him on this show.

DDT “REMBRANDT HIGHWAY SERIES 2026 ~AYU COLISEUM IN ATSUGI~”, 15/02/2026
Kanagawa Rembrandt Hotel Atsugi Grand Banquet Sagami

1. Kazuki Hirata Vs Rukiya
2. Naomi Yoshimura & Yuni Vs Hideki Okatani & Ilusion
3. To-y, Takeshi Masada & Yuya Koroku Vs Yuki Ishida, Kazuma Sumi & Hinata Kasai
4. MAO, KANON & Yukio Naya (w/ KIMIHIRO) Vs Sanshiro Takagi, Akito & Junta Miyawaki
5. Special Tag Match: Yuki Ueno & Jun Akiyama Vs Chris Brookes & Antonio Honda
6. O-40 Title – 4 Way Match: Daisuke Sasaki (c) Vs HARASHIMA Vs Danshoku Dieno Vs Tomomitsu Matsunaga

The next day Sanshiro Takagi steps in to replace Sato in Match #4.

DDT “HYBRID PERFORMER 2026 ~KAISEI TAKECHI 2ND ANNIVERSARY~”, 22/02/2026
Tokyo Korakuen Hall

1. Chris Brookes, HARASHIMA, Antonio Honda & Hinata Kasai Vs To-y, Toru Owashi, Kazuki Hirata & Yuni
2. Jun Akiyama, Makoto Oishi & Yukio Naya Vs Sanshiro Takagi, Tomomitsu Matsunaga & Ryoma Tsukamoto
3. DAMNATION T.A Vs Harimao!: Daisuke Sasaki, Hideki Okatani & Ilusion Vs Naomi Yoshimura, Ryota Nakatsu & Yuki Ishida
4. Special Tag Match: Shinya Aoki & Junta Miyawaki Vs Yuya Koroku & Rukiya
5. Special 6-Man Tag Match: MAO, KANON & X (w/ KIMIHIRO) Vs Danshoku Dieno, Super Sasadango Machine & Akito
6. D GENERATIONS CUP 2026 – Final: Kazuma Sumi Vs Takeshi Masada
7. Kaisei Takechi 2nd Anniversary Match: Yuki Ueno Vs Kaisei Takechi

In the short history of the D GENERATIONS CUP we may get its first two-time winner. Takeshi Masada has a chance to win it a second time after being the first ever winner back in 2023. However Kazuma Sumi is riding a wave of momentum going into the final and seems to have more locker room support than the recently gone loner Masada.

Sumi being in the final rips apart my theory that he is the new member of Strange Love Connection.

Ryoma Tsukamoto makes an unexpected appearance to fill in for Daichi Sato.

Finally all four members of FANTÔMES DRAMATIC are all teaming together.

The match order outside of the main event has not been decided yet.

“URANO EN 3”, 24/02/2025
TOKYO SQUARE In Itabashi

1. Extreme Five Warriors Iron Man Tournament: Yasu Urano Vs Fuminori Abe
2. Extreme Five Warriors Iron Man Tournament: Ikuto Hidaka Vs Ilusion
3. Extreme Five Warriors Iron Man Tournament: Fuminori Abe Vs Ayato Yoshida
4. Extreme Five Warriors Iron Man Tournament: Yasu Urano Vs Ilusion
5. Extreme Five Warriors Iron Man Tournament: Ikuto Hidaka Vs Ayato Yoshida
6. Extreme Five Warriors Iron Man Tournament: Fuminori Abe Vs Ilusion
7. Extreme Five Warriors Iron Man Tournament: Yasu Urano Vs Ayato Yoshida
8. Extreme Five Warriors Iron Man Tournament: Ikuto Hidaka Vs Fuminori Abe
9. Extreme Five Warriors Iron Man Tournament: Ayato Yoshida Vs Ilusion
10. Extreme Five Warriors Iron Man Tournament: Ikuto Hidaka Vs Yasu Urano

Something extra BASARA related with a little bit of DDT there too. Yasu Urano is putting together a one day Round Robin tournament between himself, Ikuto Hidaka, Ayato Yoshida, Fuminori Abe and Ilusion. Urano chose that lineup because he wanted two wrestlers in their 50s, two in their 30s and one in his 20s. But here’s the catch. Every match is an Iron Man match, ten in total!

DDT “KO KO! YOKOHAMA BATTLE 2026”, 28/02/2026
Kanagawa Radiant Hall

1. DDT Extreme Title: To-y (c) Vs Yuki Ishida

The aftermath of the DGC group stages left To-y in bad humour because Yuki Ishida was partially responsible for him failing to win the A Block. That then led to To-y bringing up the time Ishida got drunk on a night out and To-y had to pay his tab of 40,000 yen. He figured out a DDT Extreme Title match between the two can settle the matter. If To-y wins then not only does he defend his championship but Ishida will have to pay him back the 40,000 yen!

GANBARE☆PRO “KINKI CHIHO NO ARU BASHO NI TSUITE 2026”, 01/03/2026
Osaka Hirano Community Hall

1. Sentaro Motoshima Vs Sora Fujikawa
2. Moeka Haruhi & Fairy Nihonbashi Vs Kyusei Ninja Ranmaru & Hibiscus Mii
3. Mizuki Watase & Shota Kawakami Vs Yuto Kikuchi & Violence Dragon
4. Shuichiro Katsumura, Tsuyoshi Okada & YuuRI Vs Keisuke Ishii, Tyson Maeguchi & Yuna Manase
5. Spirit Of Ganbare World Tag Team Titles: Yumehito Imanari & Shinichiro Tominaga (c) Vs Ken Ohka & Hiroaki Moriya

More Osaka based wrestlers will be there when Ganbare☆Pro comes to town. Yuto Kikuchi, Violence Dragon and Sora Fujikawa are the male wrestlers added to the show. Also from outside of Osaka comes Tsuyoshi Okada, Kyusei Ninja Ranmaru and Hibiscus Mii.

DGC Final Up For Grabs, Sasadango’s Sumo Hall Check Up, Pokotan Gets Some Sauna Friends

February 6, 2026

DDT “IMAIKE SAMBA 2026”, 07/02/2026
Aichi Imaike Gas Hall

1. Takeshi Masada & Hinata Kasai Vs Yuya Koroku & Yuni
2. Special Single Match: KANON (w/ KIMIHIRO) Vs Antonio Honda
3. Daisuke Sasaki, Hideki Okatani & MJ Paul Vs Jun Akiyama, Akito & Junta Miyawaki
4. Imaike Rumble 2026: Yuki Ueno Vs MAO Vs HARASHIMA Vs Danshoku Dieno Vs Chris Brookes Vs Kazuki Hirata Vs Naomi Yoshimura Vs Yukio Naya Vs Ilusion Vs Pokotan
5. D GENERATIONS CUP 2026 – A Block: To-y (3) Vs Daichi Sato (4)
6. D GENERATIONS CUP 2026 – A Block: Yuki Ishida (3) Vs Kazuma Sumi (4)

The last matchdays for the D GENERATIONS CUP have several wrestlers still in the running to reach the final. In the A Block Kazuma Sumi just needs to win his match to win the group. Daichi Sato can get there if he wins and Sumi doesn’t. To-y and Yuki Ishida both need to win and even then that will result in a sudden death playoff between the two because they tied against each other earlier in the tournament.

DDT “IMAIKE FIGHT FEVER 2026”, 08/02/2026
Aichi Imaike Gas Hall

1. D GENERATIONS CUP 2026 – B Block: Rukiya (4) Vs Hinata Kasai (0)
2. HARASHIMA & Yuni Vs Hideki Okatani & Ilusion
3. Danshoku Dieno & Kazuma Sumi Vs Akito & Kazuki Hirata
4. Jun Akiyama, Naomi Yoshimura & Yuki Ishida Vs Yukio Naya, Junta Miyawaki & Daichi Sato
5. Special 4-Way Tag Match: Yuki Ueno & To-y Vs MAO & KANON (w/ KIMIHIRO) Vs Daisuke Sasaki & MJ Paul Vs Chris Brookes & Antonio Honda
6. D GENERATIONS CUP 2026 – B Block: Takeshi Masada (4) Vs Yuya Koroku (6)

In the B Block we may see Yuya Koroku finish his run with a perfect record of four wins. But if Takeshi Masada can beat him then he will squeak by last year’s champion. However Rukiya can match the total score in that scenario if he beats Hinata Kasai which will then result in a three way tie where Koroku beat Rukiya, Rukiya beat Masada and Masada beat Koroku.

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “SHOKO NAKAJIMA NIIGATA HOMECOMING – SHOKO QUEST IV: THOSE GUIDED BY THE SNOW COUNTRY”, 11/02/2026

6. Yuki Kamifuku, Wakana Uehara & Ren Konatsu V Mizuki, Shino Suzuki & Uta Takami
7. Shoko Nakajima, Yuki Aino & Haru Kazashiro Vs Yuki Arai, HIMAWARI & Toga

The “GRAND PRINCESS ’26” PR Ambassador Super Sasadango Machine will be visiting the show, presumably to get updates on all of the ideas he gave others to promote the Sumo Hall show. There are currently four requests he has given people. Shino Suzuki is tasked with challenging influencers with over 100,000 followers to games of rock paper scissors until she beats three of them. The GM Tetsuya Koda was told to go find a big guest famous enough to sell out Sumo Hall and get them to make their pro wrestling debut. The mascot Minimo-chan was told to master its special moves through intensive training. Finally Sanshiro Takagi was instructed to scout a new idol to turn into a pro wrestler.

DDT “NEPPA OVER FLOWERS 5 ~THE ONLY SAUNA IN THE WORLD~”, 14/02/2026
Shinjuku FACE

1. Young Boy Akito Nishigaki Shinjuku FACE Debut Match: Young Boy Akito Nishigaki Vs Rukiya

5. Ueno Nordic Presents Special Single Match: Yuki Ueno Vs Pokotan (w/ Chris Bathooks, Naya Tonttu & Sauna Stones・Den)
6. Special Single Match: Minoru Suzuki Vs To-y

Pokotan will not be alone when it fights Yuki Ueno. It will be accompanied by three sauna themed versions of DDT wrestlers. Naya Tonttu has appeared on these sauna wrestling shows before. Chris Bathooks and Sauna Stones・Den both have pun names that apply to saunas somehow but I don’t have the knowledge with that hobby to figure out what they are.

Tokyo Takashimadaira Kumin Center

1. Sentaro Motoshima Vs Reiya Igarashi

5. Shuichiro Katsumura, Yuya Susumu & YuuRI Vs Yuna Manase, Akira Shoji & Tyson Maeguchi
6. Spirit Of Ganbare World Openweight Title: Masaaki Mochizuki (c) Vs Mizuki Watase

How is it that Moeka Haruhi keeps getting put with oddball opponents? She now has to face Papillon Akemi and a Colega Pro/Land’s End gimmick called Hora-chan in a 3 Way Match.

“GAISEN SAKURA PRO WRESTLING”, 11/04/2026

Shuji In BASARA, Max Heart Final, “Newcomer” Akito, GanPro Title Matches

February 2, 2026

BASARA “BASARA 299 ~TAKAGARI 32~”, 11/02/2026
Tokyo Takashimadaira Kumin Center

1. Takeru Inoue Vs Yuki Ishida
2. SAGAT Vs Lil’ Kraken
3. Isami Kodaka & Ryuma Sekimo Vs Daiki Shimomura & Takato Nakano
4. Takumi Tsukamoto & Masato Kamino Vs FUMA & Seiya Morohashi
5. Shuji Ishikawa, Ryota Nakatsu & Daichi Kazato Vs Trans-Am ★ Hiroshi, Tsutomu Oosugi & Banana Senga

As long as Shuji Ishikawa hold the Union MAX Title, he is going to treat BASARA like a second home. He is currently scheduled to be on all of their shows for February and March.

The Super Family are hitting some sort of rough patch after failing to win the Iron Fist Tag Team Titles on the last show. Lil’ Kraken wonders if they should split up but SAGAT still wants to team with him. After taking a day to think about it, the decision was made to have the two face each other in a singles bout. Is this just something to get their frustrations out or will it be a (super) family rift that cannot be healed?

Yuki Ishida from DDT makes another appearance here. He’ll take on BASARA’s young prospect Takeru Inoue in the opener.

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “THE 6TH “FUTARI WA PRINCESS” MAX HEART TOURNAMENT”, 14/02/2026
Tokyo Korakuen Hall

1. Ren Konatsu Vs Shion Kanzaki
2. Miyu Yamashita, Kaya Toribami, HIMAWARI & Shino Suzuki Vs Hyper Misao, Kakeru Sekiguchi, Kira Summer & Chika Nanase
3. Shoko Nakajima & Sara Phoenix Vs Suzume & Arisu Endo
4. Max The Impaler, Raku & Pom Harajuku Vs Ryo Mizunami, Yuki Aino & Haru Kazashiro
5. Miu Watanabe & Rika Tatsumi Vs Yuki Arai & Mifu Ashida
6. Iron Man Heavymetalweight Title: Mahiro Kiryu (c) Vs Aja Kong
7. International Princess Title: MIRAI (c) Vs Toga
8. “Futari wa Princess” Max Heart Tournament – Final: Mizuki & Uta Takami Vs Yuki Kamifuku & Wakana Uehara

It’s new territory for the Max Heart Tournament because the current Princess Tag Team Champions have reached the final for the first time. Ober Eats are now just one win away from winning the whole thing and living up to the votes they got for the Best Tag Team category in the recent Tokyo Sports Awards. Meanwhile Mizuki & Uta Takami are on something of a miracle run as a tag team, although they want to prove they deserve to be here through hard work and well earned success instead of luck and good fortune.

There’s an alternate timeline where Daydream and Kyoto Tag could have been a semi final match in the tournament. Instead they’re facing each other on the undercard to help build up March’s Princess Of Princess Title match between Miu Watanabe and Yuki Arai.

Opponents have now become tag partners. Shoko Nakajima liked wrestling Sara Phoenix so much she wants to team with her. They may end up being a bounce back team for Daisy Monkey though.

A first win awaits for either Ren Konatsu or Shion Kanzaki.

DDT “NEPPA OVER FLOWERS 5 ~THE ONLY SAUNA IN THE WORLD~”, 14/02/2026
Shinjuku FACE

1. Young Boy Akito Nishigaki Shinjuku FACE Debut Match: Young Boy Akito Nishigaki Vs Rukiya
2. Shinya Aoki Vs Hinata Kasai
3. Special 6-Man Tag Match: Brahman Shu, Brahman Kei & Brahman Sasaki Vs Daichi Sato, Yuni & Kazuma Sumi
4. Special 6-Man Tag Match: Shin KONOSUKE TAKESHITA, MAO & Takeshi Masada Vs Danshoku Dieno, Kazuki Hirata & Koju Takeda
5. Ueno Nordic Presents Special Single Match: Yuki Ueno Vs Pokotan
6. Special Single Match: Minoru Suzuki Vs To-y

This is the full card but the only confirmation of the match order is the opener and the main event. Yuki Ueno challenges Pokotan to a one on one battle while Akito returns to his rookie roots to wrestle as Akito Nishigaki once more. Also there is another Brahman Brother among us! Unless I’m reading the name wrong and it is Barman Sasaki instead of Brahman Sasaki.

GANBARE☆PRO “A SCANNER DARKLY 2026”, 22/02/2026
Tokyo Takashimadaira Kumin Center

1. Spirit Of Ganbare World Openweight Title: Masaaki Mochizuki (c) Vs Mizuki Watase

The time has come for Mizuki Watase to challenge for the Spirit Of Ganbare World Title again. He won the title before against seemingly impossible odds and can repeat the feat if he can dethrone Masaaki Mochizuki.

GANBARE☆PRO “KINKI CHIHO NO ARU BASHO NI TSUITE 2026”, 01/03/2026
Osaka Hirano Community Hall

1. Spirit Of Ganbare World Tag Team Titles: Yumehito Imanari & Shinichiro Tominaga (c) Vs Ken Ohka & Hiroaki Moriya

When a tag match pitting Touchable against Ken Ohka & Hiroaki Moriya was put together for Ganbare☆Pro’s return to Osaka, Ohka asked for the Spirit Of Ganbare Tag Team Titles to be put on the line.

“GAISEN SAKURA PRO WRESTLING”, 11/04/2026
Okayama Shinjo Village

The show Ryuichi Sekine and Nodoka Tenma are putting together will consist of six matches, three from Tokyo Joshi Pro and three from BASARA. The TJPW roster taking part will be Mizuki, Shoko Nakajima, Rika Tatsumi, Hyper Misao, Yuki Aino, Mahiro Kiryu, Arisu Endo, Haru Kazashiro, Mifu Ashida, Kira Summer and Chika Nanase. Also Aja Kong will be part of the show as a special guest.

7. “Futari wa Princess” Max Heart Tournament – Round 2A: Suzume & Arisu Endo Vs Miyu Yamashita & Kaya Toribami

Round 2 of the Max Heart Tournament has Daisy Monkey against K!SS// in one match, Shunrai Rekka!! Prism Greed versus Mizuki & Uta Takami in another, Daydream taking on Pompaler and Ober Eats having to face Kyoto Tag.

Something to look on the bright side over Shoko Nakajima being knocked out of the tournament so early is she now gets to give Sara Phoenix a first time ever singles match on the undercard.

Super Sasadango Machine will be at the show as part of his PR Ambassador role for “GRAND PRINCESS ’26”. He will give everyone a greetings message in the ring.

GANBARE☆PRO “NEW YEAR’S BLUES 2026”, 31/01/2026
Shin-Kiba 1st RING

1. Yumehito Imanari & Keisuke Ishii Vs Shuichiro Katsumura & Yuya Susumu
2. Spirit Of Ganbare World Openweight Title: Masaaki Mochizuki (c) Vs Shinichiro Tominaga

The upcoming snap elections happening in Japan’s House Of Representatives has caused an unintended side effect for Ganbare☆Pro’s next event. They are supposed to have a show in Takashimadaira Kumin Center on 31st January but the building will no longer be available on that date in order to be turned into a polling station for early voters. GanPro were able to act quickly and book Shin-Kiba 1st RING as the replacement venue for the same date and start time. They felt the need to go ahead with the show because they’ve already sold tickets and would find it difficult to reschedule the guest wrestlers they have booked for it.

DDT “NEXT STEP GAME 2026”, 04/02/2026
Shinjuku FACE

1. Jun Akiyama & Danshoku Dieno Vs Toru Owashi & Kazuki Hirata

6. D GENERATIONS CUP 2026 – A Block: Daichi Sato (4) Vs Kazuma Sumi (2)
7. D GENERATIONS CUP 2026 – A Block: To-y (3) Vs Ilusion (0)

There’s a two week pause in the D GENERATIONS CUP now that we’re at around the halfway point. Daichi Sato currently leads the A Block by himself while Yuya Koroku and Rukiya are both tied for first in the B Block. To-y, Yuki Ishida, Kazuma Sumi, Yuni and Takeshi Masada all still have fighting chances of making the final while Ilusion and Hinata Kasai are both out of the running.

Kazusada Higuchi has to take another leave of absence for now, this time because of a neck injury. There is no timeline yet for how long he will be out of action for.

5. D GENERATIONS CUP 2026 – B Block: Rukiya (4) Vs Hinata Kasai (0)
6. D GENERATIONS CUP 2026 – B Block: Takeshi Masada (2) Vs Yuya Koroku (4)

The lineups for shows happening next month are a bit all over the place because who knows who the KO-D Openweight Champion and DDT Universal Champion will be coming out of Korakuen Hall this weekend.

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “GRAND PRINCESS ’26”, 29/03/2026
Tokyo Ryogoku Kokugikan

1. Special Tag Match: Yuka Sakazaki & KONOSUKE TAKESHITA Vs X & X

K!SS// (Kick Slash), Mune’s Neck Injury Changes GanPro’s Plans, Kazato Vs Yoshida Could Be Ruined By Politics

6. “Futari wa Princess” Max Heart Tournament – Round 1A: Shoko Nakajima & Hyper Misao Vs Miyu Yamashita & Kaya Toribami

Heading into the opening rounds tomorrow, Miyu Yamashita & Kaya Toribami have revealed the name of their tag team. Despite having different fighting styles they are both passionate about kicking opponents so they have decided to call themselves K!SS// (Kick Slash)!

DDT “SATURDAY CHINATOWN”, 17/01/2026
Yokohama Radiant Hall

1. Danshoku Dieno, Antonio Honda & Akito Vs Kazuki Hirata, Takeshi Masada & Rukiya
2. Special 8-Man Tag Match: Sanshiro Takagi, Jun Akiyama, Shinya Aoki & Tomomitsu Matsunaga Vs Naomi Yoshimura, Ryoma Tsukamoto, Kazuma Sumi & Hinata Kasai

6. DAMNATION T.A Vs FANTÔMES DRAMATIC!: Daisuke Sasaki & Hideki Okatani Vs Chris Brookes & HARASHIMA

While Yuki Ueno is out injured, the build up for his double title defence now rests on the shoulders of Chris Brookes and Daisuke Sasaki. There will be a contract signing ceremony for the title match taking place before the show starts so Ueno will be at the venue.

GANBARE☆PRO “NEW YEAR’S BLUES 2026”, 31/01/2026
Tokyo Takashimadaira Kumin Center

1. Yumehito Imanari & Keisuke Ishii Vs Shuichiro Katsumura & Yuya Susumu
2. Spirit Of Ganbare World Openweight Title: Masaaki Mochizuki (c) Vs Shinichiro Tominaga

Some real bad luck has come Munetatsu Nakamura’s way. He suffered a neck injury this week and was told by his doctor not to wrestle for the rest of the month. He won’t know if he can return to action in February until he gets a clearer diagnosis. Nakamura was meant to be the next challenger for the Spirit Of Ganbare World Title at the end of January but that now cannot go ahead. Shinichiro Tominaga stepped forward to face Masaaki Mochizuki for the title instead.

That led to another change on the show, one that needed to be made anyway because of someone else. Tominaga was meant to be in a 6-Man Tag but he is now moved up to the main event. Another person who was meant to be part of the 6-Man Tag is Takuya Wada but he had to cancel his current bookings with Ganbare☆Pro because of family reasons. The 6-Man Tag has now been changed into a regular tag match with the remaining wrestlers involved.

BASARA “BASARA 298 ~10TH ANNIVERSARY SHOW~”, 31/01/2026
Shinjuku FACE

1. Daichi Kazato Vs Ayato Yoshida
2. GRACE PROJECT Offer Match: Tomoya Hirata, Captain Grace & Violento Jack Vs Trans-Am ★ Hiroshi, Tsutomu Oosugi & Banana Senga
3. Ryuichi Sekine, Takato Nakano & Masato Kamino Vs Ryota Nakatsu, Naomi Yoshimura & Yuki Ishida
4. Isami Kodaka & Takeru Inoue Vs Minoru Fujita & Yasu Urano
5. Iron Fist Tag Team Titles: Takumi Tsukamoto & Daiki Shimomura (c) Vs SAGAT & Lil’ Kraken
6. Union MAX Title: Shuji Ishikawa (c) Vs FUMA

The mystery opponent for Daichi Kazato is going to be Ayato Yoshida. The two have often been linked up for Yoshida’s appearances in BASARA lately. If the match somehow gets cancelled before then, Kazato fears they won’t get another chance to reorganise it because of the snap elections in Japan’s House Of Representatives that are suddenly due to take place soon. He might be a little crazy but he thinks things are going to get even crazier over there.
