??? Fans – Unannounced

4. Special Tag Match: Yuki Ueno & Akito defeated Shunma Katsumata & Yuki Ishida when Ueno & Akito pinned Katsumata & Ishida with a Linked Pin (11:13).
5. KANON defeated Masami Inahata with the Lariat (14:13).
6. STRANGE LOVE CONNECTION Vs FANTÔMES DRAMATIC!: Chris Brookes & Antonio Honda defeated MAO & Yukio Naya (w/ YUZUKI) when Brookes submitted MAO with the Ground Octopus Stretch (20:36).

Chris Brookes got one back on MAO by using one of his own tricks against him. MAO likes to sometimes use the referee as a vault to do a Flying Stunner onto his opponent. This time Brookes used that idea on MAO and then pulled him down into an Octopus Stretch to make him tap out. MAO admitted that submission move is really intense to be in but that Brookes pulled out his trump card this early just means in MAO’s mind Brookes has already lost. MAO also thinks the ring isn’t enough to contain him and Brookes so they should take this rivalry outside! No matter what happens, MAO is confident he will still be the KO-D Openweight Champion after Sumo Hall.

For Match #4 the two teams had to wrestle while being in constant physical contact with their tag partners. If contact is broken they had a five count to reconnect or face disqualification. Yuki Ueno & Akito were quickly able to develop some teamwork under these conditions while Shunma Katsumata & Yuki Ishida struggled together. The two tried to do a top rope dive together but missed the target, allowing the other team to tangle them both up into a double pin for the finish. Ueno then told the audience he is already coming up with crazy match rules if he wins the DDT Extreme Title from Katsumata. Some of his ideas include a Submission match where only pinfalls count, a match with invisible people at ringside, a 60 minuted Iron Man Match and a Falls Count Anywhere match where you are not allowed physically touch your opponent. It’s all so Ueno can prove he can be interesting and entertaining as the Extreme Champion. Katsumata is starting to show frustration over his inability to beat Ueno. Since he gets to make the rules for the title match, he said it would not be something violent. However if Ueno happens to provoke him between now and Sumo Hall, Katsumata warns he might lose his temper and change his mind.

In a similar manner to the Tokyo Joshi Pro show that happened earlier in the day, Super Sasadango Machine’s mask kept him safe when he was shoved face first into Danshoku Dieno’s Hell Gate. Jun Akiyama then unmasked him and repeated the spot so Sasadango suffered just as much as everyone else did. Akiyama put Sasadango into the Front Face Lock while Junta Miyawaki tried to put Dieno into a Butterfly Lock. Dieno ended up backing into Akiyama, giving Akiyama a face full of his backside. With everyone else down, Miyawaki easily pinned Sasadango and won the Iron Man Heavymetalweight Title in the process. He credited Akiyama’s teamwork for helping him win the title and he is ready to accept the challenges of anyone out there who wants to pin him.

Wrestlers from paleyouth and DAMNATION T.A kept provoking each other after the opening match. Takeshi Masada & Yuya Koroku confronted Hideki Okatani & Ilusion, almost sparking off a brawl between the two sides. Backstage Ilusion said he is only interested in taking the KO-D Tag Team Titles. Masada doesn’t believe him and thinks Ilusion cares more about paleyouth than he wants to admit. Koroku complained about how much DAMNATION T.A cheats but also claims he noticed Okatani’s true nature coming to light. That’s the Okatani he wants to fight at Sumo Hall so they can determine who the be wrestler is out of D GENERATIONS.

There was a surprise announcement from Hisaya Imabayashi during the show where he revealed Konosuke Takeshita is booked for “ULTIMATE PARTY 2026” on 3rd November. As he was telling everyone that Takeshita’s match hasn’t been decided yet, Daisuke Sasaki got into the ring and demanded he face Takeshita in a singles match instead of his scheduled bout with Danshoku Dieno. That brought out Dieno who reminded Sasaki that they were supposed to have their singles match last year but it was cancelled because Dieno was ill. DDT went through the trouble of making the match again this year and Dieno wants it to happen so they can go “beyond full nudity” this time. Sasaki doesn’t care and kept demanding he face Takeshita instead. Dieno then came up with an idea to make it a 3 Way Match. That way Sasaki can get Takeshita and Dieno can still go “beyond full nudity” with the two of them. With Takeshita involved that means it will now happen in front of a bigger, more global audience. Imabayashi accepted his reasoning and booked the 3 Way for Sumo Hall.

NωA Jr. are a man down for the time being because Kazuma Sumi is in New Japan competing in the Super Jr. Tag League with Ryusuke Taguchi. In the meantime, Katsumata & Yuni are still opening DDT shows with an NωA Jr. performance. They encouraged the fans today to send their cheers over to Sumi.

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.

The wonderful world of Muscle is back for a new generation. Super Sasadango Machine’s story based spin off brand holds an unusual role in developing many of DDT’s past talents so the time has come for it to return with a revamp and help mould the wrestlers from D GENERATIONS into something more. The comeback show hit a pretty major setback at the last minute. Kaisei Takechi was meant to be the headline star and leading role for the show but he felt unwell and had to pull out on short notice. A decision was made to cast Kazuki Hirata as Takechi’s replacement and he took the role literally by turning into “Kaisei Takechi”. Also Rukiya couldn’t be at the show due to his current injuries.

The story begins with a pre-show meeting held by Sasadango and Hisaya Imabayashi for the D GENERATIONS roster. Things did not get off to a good start with Sasadango complaining about Gen Z having short attention spans while Daichi Sato argued that KANON is too old to be considered a D GENERATIONS wrestler. Everybody eventually agreed to memorize their lines only to be told by Imabayashi that there is no script for the show. Instead everyone would have to go through a Championship Training Course that is essential to pass in order to win the KO-D Openweight Title. Normally this is a semester that lasts several months but because Gen Z doesn’t have the attention span for that, it will instead be a two hour long session to be held in front of everybody in the ring.

The course is open to wrestlers with eight years of experience or less and is divided into three classes: the Idol Wrestler Course, the Villainous Wrestler Course and the Mysterious Wrestler Course. The group were then introduced to the director of the Japan Championship Research Institute, former KO-D Champion, Meiko Satomura! She told the class that the most important thing is to determine whether or not they possess the strong spirit of a champion.

First up was the Idol Wrestler Course titled “iDooool”. The wrestlers assigned to this class were KANON, Takeshi Masada, Hinata Kasai and… Ilusion? The masked heel complained to Satomura about being here and threatened her with a beer bottle. Satomura quickly changed his mind by grabbing the bottle and smashing it to pieces with a single punch! The wrestlers were made to spar in the ring before getting advice from Satomura. She told KANON he moves too much for a wrestlers of his size and told Ilusion that he lacks social skills. She then said she wants Masada & Kasai to both become idol wrestlers who can sing and dance. They can become the Reiwa equivalent of the Crush Gals so she has named them the Explosive Boys!

Next up was the Villainous Wrestler Course called “Heeeeel!!” and it was made up of six wrestlers. “Takechi” was sent here along with Yuya Koroku, Kazuma Sumi, Yuki Ishida, Daichi Sato and Masami Inahata. The instructor for this course was Yuki “BADASS” Ueno, the never seen before heel alter ego of DDT’s current ace! He taught the students that being evil is the correct thing to do and presented them a list of all the WWE wrestlers who turned heel before becoming champions. The sparring session was a three versus three bout where only foul play was permitted. During the match, Hideki Okatani suddenly showed up and started attacking people with his bamboo stick. He and “Takechi” then joined forces to attack Ueno, who decided to end the session right there.

Last but not least, class was now in session for “Mystery”, the Mysterious Wrestler Course. The three remaining students are Viento Levante, Yuni wearing his old El Unicorn outfit and To-y with his face painted up as The Great Koji. To everyone’s surprise El Desperado from New Japan is in charge of this class! He explained that masks and face paint are not only used to conceal identities but to create new ones as well. One by one the students revealed their personas. To-y tried to explain The Great Nita as an original idea but Despy didn’t believe him. Yuni said he has wrestled for ten years which surprised Despy because he didn’t know that already. Levante talked about how he is about to undergo surgery in his right knee. He vows to come back and become the KO-D Champion.

The sparring session went ahead as a 3 Way Match. Yuni and Levante spent most of the time fighting each other while To-y tried to charge up a Poison Mist attack. Suddenly all of the heels from the Villainous Wrestler Course ran into the ring and attacked everybody! Ueno said this was Run In Training and all part of his course. Now it was time for Mask Removal Training! The heels unmasked Yuni and almost did the same until Desperado tried to stop them. The heels then ganged up on him when Satomura stormed into the ring to scare everyone away.

Ueno started to mock Satomura, telling her she never made it to the top of WWE because she never turned heel! He then instructed “Takechi” to get on the stage and invited Satomura over in a sultry manner so they could do something “bad” together. Satomura couldn’t help but be drawn towards “Takechi” but it was a trap! Okatani emerged from the shadows to attack Satomura with the bamboo stick. Satomura saw it coming and blocked him but she left herself vulnerable to a deadly hand chop by “Takechi” that somehow blew up Satomura into pieces! Ueno then proposed a challenge to the other two classes. If their students can beat the heels one by one, they will be given back different pieces of Satomura so she could be put back together. If they fail then her home promotion Sendai Girls would collapse without her leadership!

The first match between Yuni and Yuki Ishida was for Satomura’s torso. Ishida used the heel tactics he learned to try and unmask Yuni and attack him with a chair. But the chair attack missed and bounced back into Ishida. Yuni got a nearfall with the Messiah DDT then got the win with the Phoenix Splash.

Yuya Koroku & Masami Inahata in Match #2 cheated by throwing powder and swinging baseball bats. To-y was now in full Great Koji mode while Ilusion tried his best babyface behavior by giving the thumbs up instead of the middle fingers. He even made the decision not to use a baseball bat when given the chance. To-y blinded Inahata with Poison Mist and did a Combined Thrust Kick with Ilusion to win back Satomura’s arms.

The next limb up for grabs was Satomura’s right leg. The mentors were now getting directly involved with Desperado teaming up with Levante while Ueno joined forces with Kazuma Sumi. The heels again tried to unmask their opponents but the fighting went on until the final minute. With time almost running out, Levante was able to lure Sumi into taking a punch from Desperado. Levante then rolled up Sumi to continue the winning streak against the heels.

Things then went pear shaped in the match after that. KANON fought Daichi Sato to a time limit draw. Sato used some Eye Rakes to slow down KANON but KANON hit back with several Lariats. Sadly the time expired before he could finish Sato off. That meant the Idol & Mystery Alliance were unable to claim back a vital part of Meiko Satomura, the shoulder pads from her suit jacket… Yes they are necessary!

The challenge had been failed but Imabayashi begged the Villainous Wrestler Course to put everything on the line for the final battle. Ueno hesitated to agree but he was convinced when the Explosive Boys performed a brand new song called “”&”GENERATION” in front of him. Ueno said the song reminded him of something from the past and he accepted the final challenge. Every piece of Meiko Satomura would be on the line in the main event!

The Explosive Boys now had to fight Okatani & “Takechi” but Kasai never anticipated what would happen to him. Late in the match, Okatani handed his bamboo stick to Masada and ordered him to attack Kasai with it. Masada refused and saved Kasai from a beating. The two hugged until Okatani suddenly gave Masada a signal that brainwashed him into turning on Kasai with a Low Blow! Okatani then handed over Satomura’s shoulder pads to Masada and it gave him the ability to use the Scorpio Rising on Kasai (I told you they were necessary). Okatani then gave a Vertical Drop Brainbuster before pinning him with one foot along with “Takechi” and Masada.

When the match was over, “Takechi” & Masada started bragging about all of the money they were about to make when they win every championship from every company and unify them all. However the heels unknowingly placed all of Satomura’s body parts together in a pile and accidentally resurrected her back to one piece! She wasn’t angry over what just happened. In fact this whole ordeal was a practical exam to graduate from the course! She cleared up the ring so the graduation ceremony could begin.

The ceremony began with each class announcing their top student. They were Kasai for the Idol Wrestler Class, Levante for the Villainous Wrestler Course and Masada for the Villainous Wrestler Course (because of his heel turn). Satomura then announced the reward for these three was a KO-D Title shot! The champion MAO is already at the show to do an autograph session and was watching from the balcony. He agreed to put the title on the line against the three top students in a Survival 4 Way Match right away! At this point the show was reaching its scheduled end time but Akito promised to take full responsibility for the show breaking its curfew.

The match began and was every man for himself. It was elimination rules so the KO-D Title would go to the last man standing. Kasai was first to go after Masada pinned him with his finisher. He gave Levante a Low Blow and tried to eliminate him when MAO stopped it and pinned Masada with a Bridging Gedo Clutch instead. Levante was left fighting from beneath due to his injured knee being targeted. He kicked out of the Michinoku Driver II but MAO then followed up with the Iai Kick. Levante couldn’t get back up after that and the match ended by ruling of Knockout.

With another successful defence under his belt, MAO didn’t stay in the ring for long because he had his autograph session to get to. Sasadango gathered everyone else together to close out the show. He praised everyone for giving the audience the ultimate Muscle experience today. They were really running for time at this point so Levante, Masada and Ilusion led everyone in a “Muscle, Muscle and Muscle” chant to finish the event.

6b. HARASHIMA eliminated Ilusion with the Somato (21:21).
6c. MAO eliminated Kasai with the Cannonball 450° (26:15).

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.

Ihashi’s Leaving Too, A Lot Of Falls Count Anywhere, Universal Title Match In NJPW

September 25, 2026

DDT “FACE FINAL ~GOODBYE TO SHINJUKU FACE! WITH GRATITUDE FOR 21 YEARS! THIS IS OUR SHINJUKU DRAMATIC DREAM!~”, 27/09/2026
Shinjuku FACE

1. Jun Akiyama Vs Masami Inahata
2. Special Tag Match: Daichi Sato & Kazuma Sumi Vs Yuki Ishida & Kumadori
3. Soma Takao & Gota Ihashi’s Final Match For DDT: Soma Takao, Kazuki Hirata & Akito (w/ Gota Ihashi) Vs Sanshiro Takagi, Ken Ohka & Naomi Yoshimura
4. DDT Extreme Title – Shura Besieged On All Sides -Battlefield Of Bloody Combat-: Shunma Katsumata (c) Vs Ryota Nakatsu
5. KO-D Tag Team Titles: Shinya Aoki & Junta Miyawaki (c) Vs Takeshi Masada & Yuya Koroku
6. CASPA Presents Falls Count Anywhere Survival 4 Way 8-Man Tag Match ~FACE FINAL~: MAO, KANON, Yukio Naya & Viento Levante (w/ KIMIHIRO & YUZUKI) Vs Daisuke Sasaki, Hideki Okatani, MJ Paul & Ilusion Vs Chris Brookes, HARASHIMA, Antonio Honda & Hinata Kasai Vs Yuki Ueno, Danshoku Dieno, To-y & Yuni

Later this weekend is DDT’s turn to say goodbye to Shinjuku FACE. Their big send off is a massive 4 Way Unit Falls Count Anywhere match with no time limit. Last team left standing wins!

On short notice Shinya Aoki & Junta Miyawaki have given paleyouth a shot at the KO-D Tag Team Titles. However Aoki has already gotten into Yuya Koroku’s head by calling him fat and needing to get in shape for the match. The mind game might knock Koroku from the same page he’s on with Takeshi Masada.

The DDT Extreme Title match will be a Lumberjack match between Shunma Katsumata and Ryota Nakatsu. It has been explained that the lumberjacks are permitted to attack a wrestler thrown out of the ring but they are prohibited from getting into the ring or directly interfering in the match.

Another wrestler is saying goodbye to DDT at the same time Soma Takao will be. Gota Ihashi’s contract with the promotion is ending this month and he has decided it is time to take a different path with his life. He still intends to wrestle and ensures everyone this is not a retirement. Since this news is kind of last minute, he’s been thrown into Takao’s match as a second for that team rather than a participating wrestler.

On the injury front, Viento Levante is going to take some time off soon to get ACL surgery on his right knee. He will finish off the rest of his bookings for this month and appear at the MUSCLE show on 1st October but after that he is on the shelf. He said he recently felt something wrong with his knee and after consulting with his doctor he agreed it would be better to get surgery on it instead of continue to wrestle. That way he can come back in perfect condition for the long run.

DDT “NANIWA PRO WRESTLING ROAD 2026”, 04/10/2026

DDT “BEER GARDEN PRO WRESTLING 2026 ~THE FINAL~”, 08/10/2026
Tokyo Ueno Park Outdoor Stage

1. Jun Akiyama, Chris Brookes & Hinata Kasai Vs Naomi Yoshimura, Yuya Koroku & Masami Inahata
2. paleyouth Vs NωA Jr.!: Takeshi Masada & Daichi Sato Vs Kazuma Sumi & Yuni
3. A Match To Help The “Variety Team Leader” Regain His Team Leader Instincts: Toru Owashi Vs Kazuki Hirata Vs Antonio Honda
4. Newcomer Danshoku Dieno Debut Match: Veteran Yuki Ishida Vs Newcomer Danshoku Dieno
5. Special 8-Man Tag Match: MAO, KANON, Yukio Naya (w/ KIMIHIRO) & Kumadori Vs Daisuke Sasaki, Hideki Okatani, MJ Paul & Ilusion
6. Falls Count Anywhere 8-Man Tag Match: Yuki Ueno, Shunma Katsumata, To-y & Kaisei Takechi Vs Junta Miyawaki, Sanshiro Takagi, HARASHIMA & Akito

The next big step for Kaisei Takechi’s pro wrestling career is to take part in a Falls Count Anywhere match. He’s in there with some reliable people when it comes to that kind of wrestling.

The Beer Garden is a world where you can create the idea that Yuki Ishida is the salty veteran and Danshoku Dieno is the naive little rookie.

The rest of the DDT Variety Team are trying to make Toru Owashi remember why he’s in charge of the group, whether he wants to be or not.

DDT “WRESTLING HARVEST 2026 ~AUTUMN PRO WRESTLING HARVEST FESTIVAL~”, 18/10/2026
Tokyo Korakuen Hall

1. KO-D 6-Man Tag Team Titles: Daisuke Sasaki, Hideki Okatani & Ilusion (c) Vs Shunma Katsumata, Kazuma Sumi & Yuni
2. DDT Universal Title: Ryusuke Taguchi (c) Vs Akito

There is a New Japan show taking place the day before this where Ryusuke Taguchi will be defending the DDT Universal Title against Dick Togo. The two have been building up a feud with each other on the latest tour and Taguchi’s been wanting to have a title defence in his home promotion. Given that his previous challengers have been disciples of Togo, Taguchi thinks it makes all the sense in the world for Togo to be the next opponent. Whoever wins that match must come to DDT the next day for a title defence against Akito.

DAMNATION T.A have the KO-D 6-Man Tag Team Titles in their grasp again but they expect DDT will find an excuse to take it away from them. They had to vacate the belts during their last reign when KANON was kicked out of the group. Daisuke Sasaki thinks they should skip over everything and vacate the belts but Ilusion wants the team to beat up some idols first. DAMNATION T.A aren’t going to miss the chance to crush NωA Jr. while it’s available to them.

DDT “ULTIMATE PARTY 2026”, 03/11/2026
Tokyo Ryogoku Kokugikan

1. Special Single Match: Jun Kasai Vs Hinata Kasai
2. Special Tag Match: To-y & Kaisei Takechi Vs KANON & Kumadori
3. Dramatic Dream Match: Zack Sabre Jr. Vs Shinya Aoki
4. KO-D Openweight Title: MAO (c) Vs Chris Brookes

There are two people in the world MAO wants to headline Sumo Hall with to show that DDT has moved past its dark times. The first is Yuki Ueno and that’s now happened twice. The other is Chris Brookes which is why MAO is defending the KO-D Openweight Title against him this November. Is the idea here to do a match you would see in the small room of Baka Gaijin + Friends in front of DDT’s biggest audience at a major venue?

DDT “HARASHIMA HOMECOMING! WE’LL BE HOLDING ANOTHER EVENT IN OME! WHY? BECAUSE IT’S MY HOMETOWN!” Results

September 23, 2026

DDT “HARASHIMA HOMECOMING! WE’LL BE HOLDING ANOTHER EVENT IN OME! WHY? BECAUSE IT’S MY HOMETOWN!”, 23/09/2026

7. Enoki Kogyo Co. Ltd. Presents Special Tag Match: Shinya Aoki & Junta Miyawaki defeated Takeshi Masada & Daichi Sato when Aoki pinned Masada with the Aoki Clutch (9:40).
8. Hikari House Kogyo Co. Ltd. Presents STRANGE LOVE CONNECTION Vs The 37KAMIINA!: Yuki Ueno, Shunma Katsumata & To-y defeated MAO, KANON & Viento Levante (w/ KIMIHIRO & YUZUKI) when To-y pinned Levante with a Frankensteiner (12:40).
9. Seiwa Shoji Co. Ltd. Presents HARASHIMA 25th Anniversary Debut Match ~ Special Tag Match: HARASHIMA & Chris Brookes defeated Daisuke Sekimoto & Yuko Miyamoto when HARASHIMA pinned Miyamoto with the Swan Dive Somato (20:36).

The spotlight was all over HARASHIMA for today’s DDT show in his hometown. Before any of the matches began, the mayor of Ome City appointed HARASHIMA as a PR Ambassador for a community initiative called OmeBlue. HARASHIMA then returned for the main event to wrestle in a special match celebrating the 25th Anniversary of his debut. He teamed up with Chris Brookes to fight two wrestlers he has past connections with, Daisuke Sekimoto & Yuko Miyamoto. The outsider team didn’t take it easily on HARASHIMA just because it was his big day. They both targeted HARASHIMA’s legs throughout the match. Sekimoto also grabbed Miyamoto while Miyamoto held onto HARASHIMA so a Double German Suplex spot could be pulled off. Miyamoto also used a series of signature moves including the Gannosuke Clutch, Fire Thunder and Moonsault Press but couldn’t pull out the win. Instead HARASHIMA used a Reverse Frankensteiner on Miyamoto, hit the Somato and finally pinned him with the Swan Dive Somato.

HARASHIMA thanked Brookes for his help and the fans for their support as the reasons why he could win. He is happy that DDT was able to run in his hometown for the second year in a row and hopes everyone comes back to do a third event next year. HARASHIMA believes pro wrestling generates a certain kind of energy among people and wants people to spend the final day of Silver Week thinking they were glad they went to see wrestling.

There was a preview of Shinya Aoki & Junta Miyawaki versus paleyouth. The paleyouth team was Takeshi Masada & Daichi Sato which is not the combination that will challenge for the KO-D Tag Team Titles soon. However Aoki scored the pinfall on Masada who will be on the challenging team. Even though Yuya Koroku only stood at ringside for the match and didn’t do anything, Aoki complained about him afterwards for having a pathetic physique. Masada called today’s loss a minor setback and promised to eat a lot of spinach on 27th September to have arms like Popeye for the title match.

Sanshiro Takagi held Minoru Suzuki in place so the Ome City mayor could chop him during their match. Also Kazuma Sumi is convinced that Aja Kong attacked him so much because she thought he was Yurika Oka.

*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.

7. Yuki Ueno 10th Anniversary Match ~ Special Single Match: Yuki Ueno defeated Shunma Katsumata with the WR (22:46).

We’re a month early but we are approaching a decade of Yuki Ueno as a pro wrestler. Inspired to take up the gig with DDT by his high school classmate Konosuke Takeshita, Ueno cut his teeth in DDT’s developmental brand DNA and stood in Takeshita’s shadow under for a good chunk of his career. However Ueno gradually became a polished main eventer and by the time 2023 came around he made it his goal to carry the company on his back. It was only in the last year or two he cemented himself as the company’s modern day ace. One of the wrestlers who has been by his side the entire time was his choice of opponent for the main event, Shunma Katsumata.

After some cheeky NeppoWER!! poses from the two wrestlers at the start of the match, Ueno went high risk quickly by doing a Moonsault out of the ring onto Katsumata. In return, Katsumata got back into the ring so he could dive into Ueno with a Topé Con Hilo. They then fought up to the stands where Ueno Suplexed Katsumata down the steps into the lobby. He tried to pin him right there but was reminded by Yukinori Matsui this was not a Falls Count Anywhere match. To-y joined in on the fun to throw Chops at Ueno until Katsumata accidentally knocked him down with a misfire. Katsumata then had the idea to pile Ueno on top of To-y then climb up the entry way to hit the Totonou Splash onto the both of them on the floor! Back in the ring Ueno kicked out of the ¡Hasta la vista! and blocked a second Totonou Splash. He then fought back using the Sit Down Himawari Bomb, Standing Shining Wizard, two Dropkicks and then the WR to get the win over his buddy.

Ueno thanked Katsumata after the match because he had taught him so much ever since the beginning. Katsumata had already debuted when Ueno started training but somewhere down the line the dynamic between them changed and now it’s Katsumata who treats Ueno like he’s his senior. Ueno said he got his strength from Katsumata and has so much respect for him. It is also thanks to Takeshita that Ueno fell in love with pro wrestling. Speaking of Takeshita, he walked down to the ring after Ueno talked about DDT’s goal to one day make it to the Tokyo Dome. After Takeshita congratulated Ueno on his anniversary, he said he wants to go with DDT to the Tokyo Dome too because when they do he will fight Ueno there one on one! Ueno agreed to the idea and confirmed it will happen when DDT gets to the Tokyo Dome! Backstage, Katsumata talked to reporters about having really bad luck, enough that it made him think about giving up. But everybody in The 37KAMIINA is always there to support him and he wants to see bigger things in DDT alongside them. He is thankful that Ueno was able to keep the unit together while he was out injured.

The matches that took place up and down the card were all put together by Ueno, mostly because they were just matches he wanted to see happen. For Takeshita’s return to DDT, Ueno wanted to relight the spark a bit for the ALL OUT Vs Sendai Girls feud from 2019. Takeshita would once more face Chihiro Hashimoto in a battle of the German Suplexes! To-y and Kazuma Sumi were both in the match too because it was a tag team bout but it turned out they were there to be German Suplexed around by Takeshita and Hashimoto. Takeshita proved his version of the move was the best by using that instead of the Raging Fire to pin Sumi. It looked like he and Hashimoto would continue to fight after the match but they bowed to each other instead.

Takeshita felt his actions in the ring said everything he wanted to say about the match but he told reporters that he thinks the future of pro wrestling in Japan is incredibly bright based on how the others fared in the ring with him. To-y has come out of the match learning that he has to be the real deal and not turn into a fake version of himself. He needs to become the ultimate real deal so he can be “The Authentic” To-y. Then he can show on the world stage that “The Authentic” can beat “The Alpha”. Takeshita told him he’s a million years too early for that. To-y responded he’ll just wait until he’s a million years old then. Sumi asked Hashimoto if maybe someday he can appear on a Sendai Girls show. Hashimoto said Sumi looks close enough to Yurika Oka that Meiko Satomura probably wouldn’t be able to tell the difference.

The entrances alone for Match #5 were an overriding feast for the senses. Kazuki Hirata got to dance in full then handed over his glasses to Kaisei Takechi to get him wearing them for the photographers at ringside. Yoshihiko’s entrance music had an added angry rap from KIMIHIRO added to it while the Battle Doll entered the ring with MAO and YUZUKI. Takechi got to learn first hand what a tricky opponent Yoshihiko can be and he was overwhelmed by its teamwork with MAO. Hirata ended up getting his elbow dislocated by an Arm Lock from Yoshihiko but Takechi came to the rescue by using the Tegatana neck strike he learned from Hirata on his opponents! He then used his power of dance to heal Hirata’s elbow so they could both dance in the ring together. They just didn’t expect MAO & Yoshihiko to recover during this and attack them. They almost made a comeback but instead Yoshihiko gave Takechi the Reincarnation while MAO pinned Hirata with a Spinning Brainbuster. Backstage MAO said he was happy to team up with Yoshihiko again after they lost the BZW Tag Team Titles earlier this year. Unfortunately it’s been so long since they last went to France that Yoshihiko has forgotten to speak French. MAO suggested it could be time for them to travel somewhere else, like Southeast Asia. Meanwhile Takechi cannot figure out what he just experienced when fighting Yoshihiko. The doll never changes its expression yet its weight can dramatically shift as the match progresses. Hirata asked if Takechi would ever like to fight Yoshihiko in a singles match. Takechi would have to speak with LDH first to get their opinion on the matter.

Days after getting a beating at the big RIZIN show, Shinya Aoki was game to take part in a 3 Way Match pitting himself against both HARASHIMA and Akito. The three ended up getting constantly tangled into each other with different submission holds and pinning combinations that still had the third person getting involved. HARASHIMA broke through with an opening when he did a Springboard Splash onto Akito while Aoki had him trapped in a Figure 4 Leg Lock. HARASHIMA then aimed for the Somato at Aoki but Aoki dodged it. Aoki then applied his Aoki Clutch finisher but Akito tried to stop it by applying a Leg Lock. Aoki figured out he could still roll the both of them over in the hold and pin both of his opponent’s shoulders down for a three count. Matsui counted the pin on Akito and that was all Aoki needed for the win. After the match Aoki said he has returned to DDT with his head held high and is going to live his life here one step at a time. He then thanked Ueno on his 10th Anniversary. He was later reminded backstage that he has a match with Zack Sabre Jr. coming up at “ULTIMATE PARTY 2026” on 3rd November. He thinks Mikuru Asakura’s punching him in the head over and over made him forget about it until it was brought up again by the reporters.

Ueno took part in two matches on today’s show. For the first match of the day he wanted to team with one of his biggest inspirations as well as one of his biggest enemies to help teach the wrestlers he mentored from DDTeeeen!!! a thing or two. That meant Ueno was teaming up with Osaka masked wrestler HUB as well as a not too thrilled Daisuke Sasaki. The D GENERATIONS team were joined by the injured Munetatsu Nakamura at ringside. Sasaki was more interested in sabotaging Ueno’s spots rather than teaming up with him. But things went pear shaped for Sasaki when he was tagged in to fight his own stablemate Ilusion. Sasaki instructed Ilusion to lay down for him but when he went for the pin, Ilusion suddenly cradled him for a nearfall! Ilusion then started working together with Yuni to try and win. Sasaki had HUB there to help him fight off Daichi Sato & Yuni. He then finally agreed to wrestle side by side with Ueno so they could set HUB up to win with his version of the Frog Splash on Yuni. Sasaki later reminisced about Ueno’s time as a rookie ten years ago. He remembers telling Ueno he has no talent and should go home to the Osaka countryside where he can run a bicycle shop. Meanwhile Ilusion complained about being lumped in with a bunch of brats because he doesn’t have time to play games with punks like them.

There was a Tag Rumble match to add some nonsense to the undercard. Jun Akiyama & Danshoku Dieno ended up running the gauntlet and winning the match as the first entries. Yukio Naya started the match expecting a Lip Lock from Dieno only for Dieno to turn him down. By the time Toru Owashi & Yasu Urano entered the match, Naya chased down Dieno to give him the Lip Lock himself. KANON entered the match wearing matching outfits with Antonio Honda but Yuya Koroku tripped Honda before he could set up the Gongitsune joke. Super Sasadango Machine brought along a new tag partner named Super Systema Machine. The mystery fighter was later unmasked to reveal it was the comedian Minamikawa. He used the powers of Systema to redirect Koroku into knocking Naya out of the ring to eliminate the both of them. With Koroku gone, Honda got to do Gongitsune and KANON joined in with him. The Gongitsune charged up through Dieno’s Hell Gate backfired and sent Honda over the top rope, out of the ring. The final team then entered. It was Takeshi Masada who had now fully transformed into Konosuke Takeshita and along with him was Sakura Hirota as Shin Yuki Ueno! Together their impersonations cleared the ring until Hirota/Ueno got spooked into submission by Akiyama attempting to give her the Exploder Suplex. Akiyama then kept shoving Minamikawa into Dieno’s Hell Gate over and over but Minamikawa kept showing resistance thanks to his Systema training. Akiyama then decided to put him in the Front Neck Lock and Minamikawa quickly tapped out. At least the Sasadango team now know that Systema does not work when your breathing gets cut off.

One wrestler who means a lot to Ueno is Naomi Yoshimura, one of his generation rivals and also former tag team partner in Nautilus. For this show Ueno wanted to see Yoshimura take on his former Harimao stablemate Yuki Ishida. The essence of Harimao was seen during the match when Yoshimura held Ishida in the Claw Hold that used to be used by Kazusada Higuchi. He encouraged Ishida to come at him but easily threw him down until it was time to end him off with the Shonenba, a finisher that Yoshimura has not used in a while. Yoshimura praised Ueno for leading the pack in DDT. He admits to being frustrated that Ueno got to win championships and reach milestones before he did. It used to make him jealous and even bitter but he does not feel that way about it anymore. Yoshimura is determined to elevate the DDT heavyweight scene because it is his generation that are currently on top. He also gave Ishida advice, telling him he shouldn’t go easy on himself and needs to become ruthless. Ishida also learned he is relying too much on his seniors, so much so that it’s become a crutch for him to lean on.

Even the dark match was put together by Ueno to be something he wanted to watch, pitting five crazy wrestlers all against each other in a Falls Count Anywhere free for all that took place while the fans were entering Korkauen Hall. Despite having so much free time before the show began, Kuroshio TOKYO Japan still took so long with his entrance that Hisaya Imabayashi demanded the match start before Kuroshio could do an encore. Chris Brookes kept grabbing Bunbun and throwing him into the audience before briefly settling down in the commentary booth to call the action. He and Masada then held Sanshiro Takagi in place for Minoru Suzuki to do the giant rubber band spot in the crowd. However Takagi broke free and snapped the band back at Suzuki instead. He then brought out the Dramatic Dream bike only for Suzuki to kick him off, take it over and crash it into him in the aisle. Matsui got caught in the crossfire when Suzuki was attacking people with the drill taken from the bike. The fighting then moved over to the lobby where it interrupted To-y’s photo session before the chaos went back to ringside. Suzuki and Kuroshio found a trolley and used it to push Masada and Brookes around the room. Suzuki posed with fans for photos while Kuroshio set up tables and a ladder in the ring. Soon all of Kuroshio’s opponents were laid on the tables so he climbed to the top and jumped off to do the Swanton Bomb. Everyone got out of the way and Kuroshio crashed through the tables on his own. Brookes grabbed a piece of a broken table and smashed it over Takagi, causing it to get stuck around Takagi’s neck with his head poking through the hole. Imabayashi got on the microphone while Brookes and Suzuki were fighting each other, asking for the match to wrap up so the show can start on time. Brookes wouldn’t listen so Imabayashi hit him with a Backfist out of frustration. Takagi then grabbed Brookes and pinned him with La Magistral Cradle, possibly getting extra leverage from the table piece stuck round his neck! With this result, Takagi now has the Right To Challenge Gauntlet in his grasp!

DDT “DRAMATIC DREAM TAMAGAWA IN BOATRACE TAMAGAWA”, 02/09/2026
Tokyo BOAT RACE Tamagawa
??? Fans – Unannounced

1. Yukio Naya, Viento Levante & Soma Takao defeated Junta Miyawaki, Tomomitsu Matsunaga & Yuki Ishida when Naya pinned Matsunaga with The World’s Best Back Drop (7:02).
2. Takeshi Masada & Yuya Koroku defeated Danshoku Dieno & Kazuki Hirata when Masada pinned Hirata with a Big Boot (0:06).

5. Special 6-Man Tag Match: Yuki Ueno, Shunma Katsumata & To-y defeated Sanshiro Takagi, Jun Akiyama & Masami Inahata when To-y pinned Inahata with a Forward Rolling Cradle (8:36).

Some of the wrestlers were distracted during their matches because they wanted to gets their bets in for the boat races that were happening throughout the day. It caused some infighting to happen between Takeshi Masada and Yuya Koroku because Masada wanted to win his match as soon as possible so he could go bet some more. He immediately beat Kazuki Hirata but Koroku demanded a restart. Koroku then actually stopped Masada from trying to beat Hirata at every opportunity to the point where the two paleyouth wrestlers spent more time fighting each other than Hirata or Danshoku Dieno. Masada got his way in the end when he manipulated Koroku and Hirata to both get pushed into Dieno’s Hell Gate over the turnbuckles. Masada got to pin Hirata and then ran of with his money to go bet some more. Unfortunately at the end of the day none of the DDT wrestlers won any money on the bets they put on.
