DDT Around The World – March 2025

April 1, 2025

Buckle up, folks. There is a lot to talk about this month, next month and probably even going into the summer. Konosuke Takeshita is no longer the AEW International Champion. That was to be expected but I am pleasantly surprised he has remained on AEW TV since then and is still winning matches for The Don Callis Family. He remains being protected in the booking so it looks like AEW has something in mind for him down the line even if it’s just building him up to put someone else over. Also in news that is kind of AEW related Yuka Sakazaki is now on the lookout for more wrestling bookings. Sumie Sakai is helping her out on that end but it sounds like Sakazaki will still need AEW’s permission to go ahead with whatever offers come her way.

Next let’s talk about Maki Itoh and Miyu Yamashita. Once the Las Vegas shows are done Itoh will be staying in America until 11th May while Yamashita won’t be coming back to Japan until 21st July for “SUMMER SUN PRINCESS ’25”. I was taken aback by the negative response to the news that both of them will be taking another extended hiatus from Tokyo Joshi Pro to wrestle overseas again. I get the frustration in a way. People think both of them are looking for contracts from WWE or AEW. Itoh has brought up stuff like that in past English interviews but I’m not entirely sure Yamashita has the same goal in mind. There was a public talk event sometime ago where Yamashita revealed she spent a lot of money to go follow one of her favorite K-Pop bands on a US tour and she seems to enjoy when she’s not being relied upon by TJPW to be a company ace. Maybe I’m wrong but I don’t think the two of them keep taking these options in the search for deals that may never come their way. Of course I may also just be blind to what could possibly be some tryout matches coming up next month.

That brings us up to next month’s chaos that is Wrestlemania Week. I can’t wait for this! Too many wrestling shows going on non-stop in Las Vegas for a solid week. Now that’s my kind of holiday! DDT and TJPW don’t have full cards out for their shows yet and I have the feeling one or two more promotions will be booking the likes of MAO and Itoh before we get there. So many shows are going on during the week that I can’t help but wonder if it will just take one badly made political decision somewhere to throw half the shows into chaos.

And if that’s not enough it turns out there will be even more wrestling shows going on through the year after Wrestlemania is finished. Yeah that took me by surprise too. Anyway next month expect me to write up three separate Around The World articles. One for everything that happens before WM Week, one for the week itself and one for the rest of April after that. If the next month doesn’t burn me out something fierce than nothing will.

Results


SPW “UNCHAINED”, 07/03/2025
Foo Chow Building, Singapore

1. Yuki Kamifuku & The Statement defeated Alexis Lee & Da Butcherman when Statement pinned Butcherman with an Uppercut (?:??).

The latest chapter in the Southeast Asian rivalry between Yuki Kamifuku and Alexis Lee was a little different this time around. Recently in Singapore Pro Wrestling Lee was stabbed in the back by Andruew Tang, or as he prefers to be called now, The Statement. Lee wanted payback and joined forces with one of Statement’s rivals Da Butcherman to get it. Statement called in Kamifuku to back him up so they can become the royal pair who will rule over SPW together with iron fists. An intense tag match resulted in the referee getting knocked out and Statement being saved by a tag team called The Midnight Bastards. The team attacked Butcherman with chairs and held him in place for Statement to knock him out with an Uppercut. Statement & Kamifuku both stood tall over their rivals holding their championships before leaving. Lee swore revenge and promised to take back the Queen Of Asia Title from Kamifuku!


EVE “WOMEN BEHAVING BADLY”, 07/03/2024
The Big Penny Social, London, England

1. Miyu Yamashita defeated Lucia Lee with the Skull Kick (12:48).

Plans in EVE changed for Yamashita when her original opponent Session Moth Martina pulled out of the show due to illness. Instead Yamashita was given Lucia Lee as her new opponent. For Lee it was a chance on short notice to step up against Yamashita and prove she can go toe to toe against her. Despite the good effort, Yamashita knocked her over with the Skull Kick anyway.


RCW “MARCH MADNESS”, 08/03/2024
Casinet de Hostafrancs, Barcelona, Spain

1. Miyu Yamashita defeated Amale with the Skull Kick (15:16).

The next day Yamashita was in Spain to wrestle on an RCW show for the first time since October 2022. Her opponent was “The French Hope” Amale, formerly from NXT UK. She sent Yamashita crashing through the front row of chairs with a Topé Suicida and the two soon found themselves brawling around ringside. Back in the ring Amale kicked out of an Avalanche Attitude Adjustment and almost scored the win with a Small Package. But when Yamashita kicked out she quickly had her opponent in her sights and hit the Skull Kick for the victory.


WXW “16 CARAT GOLD – NIGHT 3”, 09/03/2025
Turbinenhalle, Oberhausen, Germany

1. Miyu Yamashita defeated Anita Vaughan with the Crash Rabbit Heat (13:32).

Yamashita’s busy European weekend ended in Germany where she showed up during wXw’s final day of the annual 16 Carat Gold tournament. She didn’t take part in the 16 Carat tournament itself, instead she fought Anita Vaughan who was already eliminated from the competition by that point. Yamashita made it three wins for three but she needed to use the Crash Rabbit Heat this time to end the weekend with a clean sweep.


AEW “REVOLUTION”, 09/03/2025
Crypto.com Arena, Los Angeles, California, USA

1. AEW International Title: Kenny Omega defeated Konosuke Takeshita (c) with a Cradle (28:30).
*Konosuke Takeshita fails in V9. Kenny Omega becomes the 11th AEW International Champion!

That’s the end of Takeshita’s first championship reign in AEW. With thoughts of Hajime no Ippo on their mind and also their gear, Takeshita and Kenny Omega went hell for leather in their rematch from September 2023. Omega’s ribs were violently targeted due to his recent bout with diverticulitis and Takeshita got a little help from Don Callis here and there too. But Omega overcame the odds and kept kicked out of the Powerdrive Knee. Takeshita avoided the One-Winged Angel yet when he went for the Raging Fire, Omega countered it into an Inside Cradle. Only getting a nearfall, Omega then switched to more types of cradle pins until he kept Takeshita’s shoulders down long enough for the three count.


AEW “DYNAMITE”, 12/03/2025
Save Mart Center At Fresno State, Fresno, California, USA

1. Konosuke Takeshita defeated Max Caster with the Raging Fire (1:30).

Takeshita wasted no time in getting back to work after his title loss. Max Caster held the latest in his open challenges and tried to talk Takeshita out of it when he walked down to the ring with a purpose. Caster asked if Takeshita was actually here to invite him into The Don Callis Family? When he suggested he could use that position to beat Omega, Takeshita attacked him and quickly won with the Raging Fire.


BZW “WAR AT THE CAPITAL”, 16/03/2025
Claridge, Brussels, Belgium

1. BZW Tag Team Titles: MAO & Yoshihiko (c) defeated Kid Lykos & Kid Lykos II when Yoshihiko submitted Lykos & Lykos II with a Double Half Crab Hold (?:??).
*V3 for MAO & Yoshihiko.

I missed when this was announced last month. MAO & Yoshihiko travelled back to Banger Zone Wrestling this month, this time to defend the BZW Tag Team Titles in Belgium. The challengers were the two troublemakers from Lykos Gym in England: Kid Lykos & Kid Lykos II. They weren’t prepared for Yoshihiko to do a balcony dive onto them nor did they expect the dark spirit that sometimes follows Yoshihiko around to show up and Moonsault onto them either. Lykos II made the big mistake of yelling insults towards Yoshihiko. When he tried to Headbutt it only he felt the impact. Yoshihiko was then able to trap both members of Lykos Gym in a Double Half Crab Hold and made both of them tap out at the same time!


AEW “COLLISION – SLAM DUNK SATURDAY”, 19/03/2025 (Aired 22/03/2025)
Liberty First Credit Union Arena, Omaha, Nebraska, USA

1. Konosuke Takeshita, Brian Cage & Lance Archer defeated Mark Briscoe, Powerhouse Hobbs & Rocky Romero when Takeshita pinned Romero with the Raging Fire (11:22).

Takeshita continued to rebuild his momentum by teaming with more members of The Don Callis Family. He, Brian Cage & Lance Archer all worked over Rocky Romero until Mark Briscoe got the hot tag. Briscoe had the numbers game against him but he held his own until it was time for Powerhouse Hobbs to get the big tag. But The Don Callis Family withstood the comeback. Cage & Archer took out Romero with a Choke Slam/Power Bomb combo and held his partners at bay so Takeshita could pin Romero with the Raging Fire.


AEW “DYNAMITE”, 26/03/2025
Roy Wilkins Auditorium, St. Paul, Minnesota, USA

1. Konosuke Takeshita defeated Mark Briscoe with the Raging Fire (11:39).

There was unfinished business between Takeshita and Briscoe from Collision so they met in a singles match the following week on Dynamite. The episode was sponsored by The Minecraft Movie so the venue they were in ended up kind of looking like a Create-An-Arena you would download from the WWE 2K games. Briscoe took a high risk by running across the barricade outside the ring to jump onto Takeshita with a Diving Elbow Drop. Takeshita hit Briscoe with the Powerdrive Knee back in the ring but it got him a nearfall. Briscoe pulled out the Jay Driller that had Takeshita beat but a rope break stopped him from getting pinned for the three count. Takeshita stunned Briscoe with a Rolling Elbow before using the Raging Fire to win by the skin of his teeth.

Upcoming Appearances


MLW “BATTLE RIOT VII”, 05/04/2025
Thunder Studios Arena, Long Beach, California, USA

1. HIMAWARI Vs Janai Kai
2. MLW Women’s World Featherweight Title: Delmi Exo (c) Vs Shoko Nakajima

There was a report from Fightful’s Patreon account during the month saying MLW has “big plans” in mind for Shoko Nakajima and HIMAWARI and the promotion hopes to get TJPW more involved with their women’s division. I’m a bit skeptical towards what that could be because the way wrestling media reports on MLW often comes across as Court Bauer trying to get his material over and everybody just taking him for his word. Big plans could mean anything from Nakajima beating Delmi Exo for the MLW Women’s World Featherweight Title or Janai Kai literally murdering HIMAWARI on behalf of CONTRA Unit and right afterward MLW announces a working relationship with Stardom (go see how CIMA was written out of the company right before MLW aired a Dragongate trailer). Or the big plans might just be TJPW talent being used to put over the regulars MLW wants to push. Which at this moment in time is Exo, Kai and maybe Tara Zep. But hey, who knows. It looks like MLW’s working relationship with CMLL is legit. I’ll be happy to be proven wrong.


NJPW “WINDY CITY RIOT”, 11/04/2025
Wintrust Arena, Chicago, Illinois, USA

1. Hiroshi Tanahashi Last Match In The USA Final Road ~Kinship~: Hiroshi Tanahashi Vs KONOSUKE TAKESHITA

I recommend watching the Ace Vs Alpha video New Japan put on their Youtube channel (I included it in the video section above) because it shows Takeshita and Hiroshi Tanahashi talking about their previous match together as well as why Takeshita holds a grudge over how Tanahashi treated DDT in the past. It’s not the complete story of what happened back then because that is more HARASHIMA’s story to tell but it is suffice to build up their match happening next month.


PANDEMONIUM PRO “THE HOUSE ALWAYS WINS”, 17/04/2025
Fremont Country Club, Las Vegas, Nevada, USA

1. Masha Slamovich Vs MAO
2. Maya World Vs Miu Watanabe

Now we hit the busiest wrestling week of the year. Damn it really is a week long this time around with WWE going full throttle with their own schedule in Las Vegas from Tuesday to Tuesday. But enough about them, among the early shows kicking off the week is Pandemonium Pro where Miu Watanabe has a match against Maya World and now MAO will be there too for what is sure to be a crazy battle against Masha Slamovich! The two of them have packed schedules of their own so they better pace themselves.


WRESTLECON “MARK HITCHCOCK MEMORIAL SUPERSHOW”, 17/04/2025
Pearl Theater At Palms Casino Resort, Las Vegas, Nevada, USA

1. Mickie James Vs Maki Itoh

It’s a match for the ages between two fierce opponents. One is a wrestling idol with grand ambitions of becoming a popstar who has in the past been unceremoniously fired in a humiliating fashion. The other is Maki Itoh. I know people who still have nightmares from the Revolution Pro show in London two years ago where a group of fans spent literally the entire match chanting “Hardcore Country” non-stop for Mickie James. I hope for my sake those same fans won’t be at this show.


WEST COAST PRO “VEGAS VACATION”, 17/04/2025
Meet Las Vegas, Las Vegas, Nevada, USA

1. MAO Vs Jiah Jewell

MAO’s second show on the Thursday is against Jiah Jewell at West Coast Pro. Because when you think of local rivalries, you think of Miyagi Vs Louisiana.


GCW “JOSH BARNETT’S BLOODSPORT XIII”, 17/04/2025
Pearl Theater At Palms Casino Resort, Las Vegas, Nevada, USA

1. Charlie Dempsey Vs Shinya Aoki
2. Nattie Neidhart Vs Miyu Yamashita

Whenever Yamashita travels to America, Natalya invites her over to her private training facility in Florida to help teach her what she knows. They’ve apparantly become close friends over time but when Josh Barnett started putting the card together for Bloodsport, Natalya (under her non-WWE moniker Nattie Neidhart) publicly asked for Yamashita to be her opponent. Yamashita jumped at the idea and Barnett was happy to make it happen. This will be the second time Yamashita faces a WWE wrestler at Bloodsport, she lost to Shayna Baszler last July. Here she has the martial arts background advantage and Neidhart’s previous attempt at doing this kind of match with NXT Underground ended in a loss. Usually comparing the legitimate fighting pedigree of two fighters would tip off who wins these things but a main roster WWE wrestler losing on a non-WWE show would be an unusual turn of events. Eh, I’ll still bet a dollar on it.

Shinya Aoki’s announced opponent for the show is NXT wrestler Charlie Dempsey. I’d joke about Bloodsport turning into a WWE psy-op but to be fair Dempsey is a regular competitor on these shows and this will be his fourth fight in the series. Plus I don’t want to just write that he is William Regal’s son. From what I’ve seen he fits into this style of wrestling pretty well. Aoki should have fun tangling with him.


BZW “VIVA LAS VEGAS”, 17/04/2025
Swan Dive, Las Vegas, Nevada, USA

1. BZW Tag Team Titles: MAO & Yoshihiko (c) Vs Cole Radrick & Alec Price

MAO ends his busy day with BZW hosting his third match. At least I think it’s his third show. It’s possible he’ll have a fourth somewhere but I haven’t seen anything yet. The match here is going to be changed too because of injury. MAO & Yoshihiko are supposed to defend the BZW Tag Titles against The Gahbage Daddies but unfortunately word came out a few days ago that Cole Radrick is out of action with a torn MCL and meniscus. No word yet on if Alec Price will still be in the match with a replacement tag partner or if a new team will get the title shot instead.


TOKYO JOSHI PRO “QUERI PRESENTS TJPW LIVE IN LAS VEGAS”, 18/04/2025
Pearl Theater At Palms Casino Resort, Las Vegas, Nevada, USA

1. Special Single Match: Masha Slamovich Vs Miu Watanabe
2. International Princess Title: Suzume (c) Vs Jada Stone
3. Princess Tag Team Titles: Shoko Nakajima & Hyper Misao (c) Vs Yuki Kamifuku & Wakana Uehara
4. Princess Of Princess Title: Mizuki (c) Vs Miyu Yamashita

Only a few weeks to go but the major matches have all been set up. Mizuki Vs Yamashita is the biggest match TJPW can do for the Princess Of Princess Title but it’s been done already in Japan so I can see why it would look fresher in America. Kyoraku Kyomei have their first defence of the Princess Tag Team Titles against Kamifuku & Wakana Uehara’s new tag team OberEats. There is a rematch of the International Princess Title when Suzume clashes with Jada Stone again, this time with Stone having the home field advantage. Plus Watanabe continues getting big opponents away from the title scene when she gets in the ring with Slamovich.


DDT “DDT GOES LAS VEGAS!”, 18/04/2025
Pearl Theater At Palms Casino Resort, Las Vegas, Nevada, USA

1. Special Single Match: Antonio Honda Vs Santana Jackson
2. Special Single Match: Shinya Aoki Vs Timothy Thatcher
3. Special Single Match: KONOSUKE TAKESHITA Vs MAO
4. DDT Universal Title: Minoru Suzuki (c) Vs Yoshihiko

The lineup so far is a little more creative than what we got last year and I prefer it this way. Minoru Suzuki Vs Yoshihiko sounds like something GCW would book for “JOEY JANELA’S SPRING BREAK” but DDT needs something like that to stand out for themselves.


WRESTLECORE “FEAR & WRESTLECORE IN LAS VEGAS”, 18/04/2025
Swan Dive, Las Vegas, Nevada, USA

1. Maki Itoh Vs X

Another outside booking for Itoh during Mania Week. No opponent has been confirmed by WrestleCore yet but El Phantasmo is trying to convince Itoh to team up with him so they can be The Cutest Tag Team Ever. He just so happens to be on this show too.


GRAPHOUSE “FOR VEGAS, BY VEGAS”, 18/04/2025
Fergusons Downtown, Las Vegas, Nevada, USA

1. Lazarus Vs MAO

I think this is MAO’s last non-DDT related booking of the week. Unless…


DDT/TOKYO JOSHI PRO/GCW “DDT VS TJPW VS GCW”, 19/04/2025
Pearl Theater At Palms Casino Resort, Las Vegas, Nevada, USA

1. Konosuke Takeshita & Masha Slamovich Vs Shinya Aoki & Miyu Yamashita

As far as DDT and TJPW are concerned this will be the finale of their weekend. One match announced so far and it’s pretty cool looking. Takeshita & Slamovich teaming up against Aoki & Yamashita. It would be a shame if the show runs long and people start leaving during this match to head over to Wrestlemania.


GCW “CLUSTERF*CK FOREVER”, 19/04/2025
Pearl Theater At Palms Casino Resort, Las Vegas, Nevada, USA

1. Clusterfuck Match: X Vs X

I’m adding this to the lineup because odds are good someone DDT or TJPW related ends up in the annual Clusterfuck. Yoshihiko was part of it last year and made it to the final three. In fact there’s already an ex-TJPW wrestler announced to be entering the match. Sayaka Unagi is taking part and I can only imagine what kind of eye opening crazy thing she would do in Las Vegas.


HOG “ISOLATION”, 25/04/2025
NYC Arena, New York City, New York, USA

1. HOG Heavyweight Title: Mike Santana (c) Vs Konosuke Takeshita

Hey good on Mike Santana for taking a gamble on himself. The stuff he’s been doing on TNA and House Of Glory has been nothing to sneeze at so far. He now has a month to prepare for Takeshita because the two of them are set to fight with the HOG Heavyweight Title on the line.


BLACK LABEL PRO “BLP AT SCX III”, 25/04/2025
The Wyndham, Indianapolis, Indiana, USA

1. Miyu Yamashita Vs Leyla Hirsch
2. Danhausen & Maki Itoh Vs Davey Bang & August Matthews

Yamashita’s opponent Leyla Hirsch is fresh out of AEW and wants to show everyone how good she is in the ring.


CMLL/LADYS RING “LUCHA FIESTA ESPECIAL”, 27/04/2025
Tokyo Ryogoku Kokugikan

1. Octagon & El Hijo del Octagon Vs Daisuke Sasaki & Pantera Jr.

Daisuke Sasaki will be missing the DDT show happening in Sapporo on the same day for this match.


GCW “CRAZY SCARY SPOOKY HILARIOUS”, 03/05/2025
Ukrainian Culture Center, Los Angeles, California, USA

1. Maki Itoh Vs Miyu Yamashita

The 121000000 split up match is happening but not in TJPW. It’s in GCW! In the nine previous times they’ve done this match, Yamashita has won eight of them and the odd result out was a time limit draw. Itoh has never beaten Yamashita in a singles match but this 10th attempt might be her best chance yet because she’ll have the GCW fans behind her. She’ll need a good result because the next day she has a match that will be just as important.


GCW “WE STILL DON’T TRUST YOU”, 04/05/2025
Hawthorne Theatre, Portland, Oregon, USA

1. Miyu Yamashita Vs X
2. GCW World Title: Effy (c) Vs Maki Itoh

Itoh was originally supposed to get a GCW World Title match against Mance Warner during GCW’s Japan tour last August but a hand injury prevented it from happening. Now nine months later she finally gets her title shot but the champion now is someone completely different. Effy’s first reign as GCW Champ has seen him defend the belt against the weird and the wonderful. Can Itoh beat him to reach her ultimate form as the Queen of the Outlaws?


NJPW “RESURGENCE”, 09/05/2025
Toyota Arena, Ontario, California, USA

1. KONOSUKE TAKESHITA Vs X

Just have to wait and see what Takeshita does next after the Tanahashi match.


GCW “BIG TIME”, 17/05/2025
RJ Meyer Arena, Joppa, Maryland, USA

1. Miyu Yamashita Vs Tony Deppen

Can Yamashita get a better match out of Tony Deppen than YAMATO could?


GCW “RUN FOR IT”, 18/05/2025
Water Street Music Hall, Rochester, New York, USA

1. Billie Starkz Vs Miyu Yamashita

According to GCW this will be the first time ever Yamashita wrestles Billie Starkz. As long as you ignore the EVE match… and the St. Louis Anarchy match… and the SPARK match.


MKW “BATTLE OF THE DECADE”, 24/05/2025
Dongxin Plaza, Beijing, China

1. Yuki Kamifuku & Chen Wenbin Vs Alexis Lee & Big Sam

The Kamifuku Vs Lee rivalry now moves over to China for Middle Kingdom Wrestling’s 10th Anniversary show. Chinese wrestler Chen Wenbin and England’s Big Sam get mixed up in the action too.


SAJ “HUNTER’S NET”, 24/05/2025
Magnete, Milan, Italy

1. Miyu Yamashita Vs X

Italy will soon become the latest country Yamashita has wrestling in. Squash A Jobber Wrestling is the name of the promotion bringing her in which might be the least Italian name I’ve ever heard for a wrestling company.


KITSUNE “GOING BACK TO SAN DIEGO”, 07/06/2025
Primal Compound, San Diego, California, USA

1. Miyu Yamashita Vs X
2. Vipress & Hudson Envy Vs Nagisa Nozaki & Yuna Manase

We’re reaching into the summer for the end of this month’s article. Kitsune have a doubleshot going on with both Yuna Manase and Miyu Yamashita scheduled to be there. Manase is teaming with Nagisa Nozaki in Night 1 to take on Vipress & Hudson Envy. Yamashita’s match has not been announced yet.


KITSUNE “8888”, 08/06/2025
South Gate, Los Angeles, California, USA

1. Miyu Yamashita Vs X
2. Yuna Manase Vs X

Manase is still currently the Kitsune World Champion so it would make sense for her to have a title defence on the second show of the doubleshot.

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “SKE48 YUKI ARAI GRADUATION LIVE ~GO FOR THE DREAM!!~” Results

March 30, 2025

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “SKE48 YUKI ARAI GRADUATION LIVE ~GO FOR THE DREAM!!~”, 30/03/2025
Aichi Chunichi Hall (Nagoya City)
490 Fans – Super No Vacancy

1. It’s the 1998 Class All Gathered Together!: Yuki Arai, Moka Miyamoto & Haruna Neko defeated Suzume, Arisu Endo & Shino Suzuki when Arai pinned Suzuki with the Finally (8:30).
2. Graduation Memorial Battle Royal Full Of Yuki Arai: Raku defeated Pom Harajuku with a Backslide Pin (9:10).
Order Of Elimination: Yuki Kamifuku, Mahiro Kiryu, Hyper Misao, Miyu Yamashita, Raku.
*Special Referee: Shiori Aoki
3. This Is TJPW Special 6-Woman Tag Match: Mizuki, Rika Tatsumi & Shoko Nakajima Vs Maki Itoh, Miu Watanabe & Yuki Aino ended in a Time Limit Draw (15:00).

Yuki Arai’s singing career with SKE48 has now come to an end after she graduated from the idol unit today. She wrestled on the first match of the show with the rest of the 1998 Class so she could get ready to perform her final concert at the second half of the event. It was a full blown SKE48 concert with members past and present all showing up to sing with Arai. For the finale Arai dedicated her last song to SKE48, Tokyo Joshi Pro and her fans. After the show she thanked TJPW for putting together such a wonderful venue and event. She is also gracious to the other members of her unit which she will keep in mind as she now focuses on her pro wrestling careers. She thinks her dual career went by in a flash yet she now can’t remember what her life was like before she started wrestling. If it wasn’t for wrestling she thinks she would still be in the entertainment industry after graduation but she is grateful to have found something that excites her just as much as SKE48.

There was a Battle Royal full of Yuki Arai’s on the undercard. It was done Rumble style with every entrant walking out wearing one of Arai’s previous costumes. Former SKE48 idol Shiori Aoki also appeared as the special guest referee. Everyone tried to imitate Arai in one way or another. Raku used one of her catchphrases, Yuki Kamifuku introduced herself as “Big Yuki”, Hyper Misao wanted to be called Shin Yuki Arai, Mahiro Kiryu tried her best to do the Finally kick, Pom Harajuku called herself the best Arai and Miyu Yamashita made the others laugh with her attempted impersonation. Yamashita took her anger out on everyone but in the end Raku was the last Yuki Arai left standing.

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “YUKI ARAI’S LAST TWO-SWORD STYLE ~ GO FOR THE VICTORY!!” Results

March 29, 2025

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “YUKI ARAI’S LAST TWO-SWORD STYLE ~ GO FOR THE VICTORY!!”, 29/03/2025
Aichi Chunichi Hall (Nagoya City)
536 Fans – Super No Vacancy

1. Suzume, Mahiro Kiryu & Haruna Neko defeated Yuki Aino, Kaya Toribami & Ivy Steele when Suzume pinned Steele with the Ring A Bell (9:44).
2. 3 Way Match: Pom Harajuku defeated Arisu Endo and Chika Nanase when Harajuku pinned Nanase with a Backward Rolling Cradle (8:34).
3. Maki Itoh defeated Yoshiko Hasegawa with the Itoh Deluxe (6:33).
4. Shoko Nakajima & Hyper Misao defeated Yuki Kamifuku & Kira Summer when Misao pinned Summer with the Hypami Returns (8:48).
5. Yuki Arai, Miu Watanabe, Raku, Shino Suzuki & Uta Takami defeated Wakana Uehara, HIMAWARI, Haru Kazashiro, Toha & Mifu Ashida when Watanabe submitted Ashida with the Reverse Paradox (13:07).
6. Miyu Yamashita & Moka Miyamoto defeated Mizuki & Rika Tatsumi when Yamashita pinned Mizuki by Referee Stoppage with the Modified Cobra Clutch (13:37).

A big preview tag match for “TJPW LIVE IN LAS VEGAS” headlined today’s show in Aichi. It might be the last chance for Mizuki and Miyu Yamashita to test each other out before their Princess Of Princess Title match in America next month. Meanwhile Rika Tatsumi got her wish to team up with Mizuki and she tried to carry her like a princess only for Moka Miyamoto to push them over. Mizuki & Tatsumi had better luck working together later when they gave Yamashita a Diving Double Stomp/Twist Of Fate combo. Tatsumi also sacrificed herself by pushing Mizuki out of the way from the Crash Rabbit Heat and taking the impact of Yamashita’s finisher instead. But when Mizuki tried to capitalise, Yamashita stunned her with a High Kick and used a Modified Cobra Clutch to drag her down to the mat. Mizuki wouldn’t give up so Yamashita kept applying more preasure with the move until the match had to be stopped.

After the match Yamashita said she’s never been merciless up until now and she will be even more merciless in Vegas so she can win the Princess Title. Miyamoto then got to speak about how enthusiastic she is to team with Yuki Arai on tomorrow’s show. She wants their team to win to make it the best graduation ever for Arai. Miyamoto got praised from Yamashita in the backstage comments. Yamashita said it’s really reassuring to team with her and they know how to work together quickly. Tatsumi was upset at Yamashita & Miyamoto for ruining her dream team with Mizuki. She couldn’t save the princess today so she is not qualified to become her knight.

This whole weekend belongs to Arai because she will be graduating from SKE48 tomorrow in order to dedicate the rest of her career to wrestling with Tokyo Joshi Pro. Today she formed an alliance with The Up Up Girls (Pro Wrestling) first to sing together at the start of the show and then to team up for a 10-Woman Tag Match against the 2023 Class in the semi-main event. They all put the other team in their respective submission holds and Miu Watanabe scored the win when Mifu Ashida submitted to the Reverse Paradox. Watanabe in particular was pretty happy to sing an SKE48 song with Arai. The 2023 Class were happy to all be together in one match for the same time although Shino Suzuki had to be on the other team because she’s in The Up Up Girls. Wakana Uehara said she can feel a new wind blowing for them all.

With the trip to Vegas on the horizon, Kyoraku Kyomei wanted to test out their English. Since their opponents today both speak the language, Hyper Misao tried to do her introduction in English and asked them how it went. Kira Summer said that her pronunciation was good but she needs more practice. She said that in English so Yuki Kamifuku had to translate it back to Japanese. Kamifuku’s interpretation wasn’t accurate though. She told the others that Summer said she couldn’t understand why a highly educated graduate from Aoyama Gakuin University is so bad at English? Also Aoyama Gakuin has a lot of cute looking girls but Misao is so plain so what is it like for her to graduate from there? Misao was so hurt by the comments that it gave Kamifuku & Summer and opening to jump them and start the match. Kyoraku Kyomei were able to win and are now ready for Vegas. Shoko Nakajima wants to win big money at the casinos.

4. SCHADENFREUDE International Vs The 37KAMIINA!: Chris Brookes, Antonio Honda & Takeshi Masada Vs Yuki Ueno, Shunma Katsumata & To-y

There are so many shows happening this weekend it would take up too much space to include the ones that haven’t been changed going into it. One of the wedding shows on Sunday now has its match order confirmed. This will also be the first match The 37KAMIINA having after MAO leaves the unit tomorrow.

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “TJPW SPRING TOUR 2025 IN HIROSHIMA”, 05/04/2025
Hiroshima Industrial Hall

1. Kaya Toribami Vs Uta Takami
2. Yuki Aino, Raku & Pom Harajuku Vs Mahiro Kiryu, Moka Miyamoto & Chika Nanase
3. Rika Tatsumi Vs Mifu Ashida
4. Miu Watanabe, Haru Kazashiro & Toga Vs Yuki Kamifuku, Kira Summer & Ivy Steele
5. Hyper Misao & Haruna Neko Vs Suzume & Arisu Endo
6. Miyu Yamashita Vs Yoshiko Hasegawa
7. Mizuki & Wakana Uehara Vs Maki Itoh & Shino Suzuki

The cards for Tokyo Joshi Pro’s first weekend of shows in April were announced before Yoshiko Hasegawa’s announcement but they seem to be more fitting now in hindsight. Hasegawa wants to wrestle everybody on the TJPW roster before she retires and this match here with Miyu Yamashita will be a first time singles match between the two.

Both Shoko Nakajima and HIMAWARI will be missing the two shows because they will be wrestling in America for MLW that weekend.

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “TJPW SPRING TOUR 2025 IN FUKUOKA”, 06/04/2025
Acros Fukuoka

1. 3 Way Match: Raku Vs Kaya Toribami Vs Shino Suzuki
2. Moka Miyamoto Vs Mifu Ashida
3. Mahiro Kiryu & Haruna Neko Vs Yoshiko Hasegawa & Chika Nanase
4. Rika Tatsumi & Toga Vs Kira Summer & Ivy Steele
5. Suzume & Arisu Endo Vs Miu Watanabe & Uta Takami
6. Mizuki & Aja Kong Vs Hyper Misao & Pom Harajuku
7. Miyu Yamashita, Yuki Aino & Haru Kazashiro Vs Maki Itoh, Yuki Kamifuku & Wakana Uehara

The homecoming show for Yamashita and Maki Itoh has turned slightly bitter now that 121000000 have disbanded. The two of them will be on opposite sides of a 6-Woman Tag Match in the main event.

Aja Kong comes along to team up with Mizuki. Eh, I think Hyper Misao & Pom Harajuku can handle them.

DDT “MENTAI WARS”, 12/04/2025
Fukuoka Nishitetsu Hall

1. Kazuma Sumi Vs Ilusion
2. HARASHIMA, Azul Dragon & Kazuki Hirata Vs MAO, Toru Owashi & Akito
3. Jun Akiyama, Yuya Koroku & Daichi Sato Vs Kazusada Higuchi, Soma Takao & Yukio Naya
4. Special Tag Match: Daisuke Sasaki & MJ Paul Vs KANON & Yuki Ishida
5. Special Single Match: Hideki Okatani Vs Keigo Nakamura
6. Special 6-Man Tag Match: Chris Brookes, Danshoku Dieno & Takeshi Masada Vs Yuki Ueno, Shunma Katsumata & To-y

Does Hideki Okatani have any grief with the other wrestlers from his generation? He’s only been dealing with KANON so far although he hasn’t properly come back to action yet.

DDT “U1 CLIMAX EEL LOVING WRESTLERS BOX OFFICE”, 13/04/2025
“Unagi no Eki” Special Venue, Shibushi City, Kagoshima

1. KANON Vs Keigo Nakamura
2. Jun Akiyama & Yukio Naya, Vs Kazusada Higuchi & Yuki Ishida
3. Daisuke Sasaki, MJ Paul, Hideki Okatani & Ilusion Vs MAO, Kazuki Hirata, Daichi Sato & Kazuma Sumi
4. Special Single Match: Danshoku Dieno Vs To-y
5. Special Tag Match: Chris Brookes & Takeshi Masada Vs Naomichi Marufuji & Yuki Ueno
6. Yamada Suisan Fish Army Vs Meat Alliance Army, The Final Showdown! Special 6-Man Tag Match: Shishamo Power, Unagi Mask & Super Unagi Mask Vs Aja Kong, Shunma “EL TURKEY” Katsumata & Yuya “GIBIE” Koroku

New enemies are emerging to the surface in the seafood versus meat feud that DDT and Yamada Suisan dive into on an annual basis. Shunma “EL TURKEY” Katsumata wants revenge for the meat eating side losing last year’s battle so he went and recruited new teammates. One of them is Yuya “GIBIE” Koroku but the big weapon he’s bringing along is pro wrestling’s most dangerous carnivore Aja Kong! The trio of Shishamo Power, Unagi Mask & Super Unagi Mask are a well armed team at this point but this could be their biggest threat yet!

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “QUERI PRESENTS TJPW LIVE IN LAS VEGAS”, 18/04/2025
Pearl Theater At Palms Casino Resort, Las Vegas, Nevada, USA

1. Special Single Match: Masha Slamovich Vs Miu Watanabe
2. International Princess Title: Suzume (c) Vs Jada Stone
3. Princess Tag Team Titles: Miyu Yamashita & Maki Itoh (c) Vs Yuki Kamifuku & Wakana Uehara
4. Princess Of Princess Title: Mizuki (c) Vs Miyu Yamashita

Vert Vixen has been added to the lineup. She was on last year’s TJPW USA shows in Philadelphia and Seattle.

DDT “DDT GOES LAS VEGAS!”, 18/04/2025
Pearl Theater At Palms Casino Resort, Las Vegas, Nevada, USA

1. Special Single Match: Antonio Honda Vs Santana Jackson
2. Special Single Match: Shinya Aoki Vs Timothy Thatcher
3. Special Single Match: KONOSUKE TAKESHITA Vs MAO
4. DDT Universal Title: Minoru Suzuki (c) Vs Yoshihiko

The match made in hell! Minoru Suzuki said he will defend the DDT Universal Title against any challenger when he travels over to Las Vegas. Be careful what you wish for because Yoshihiko answered the challenge! The doll was already Vegas bound because of a Banger Zone Wrestling booking now it’s taking the gamble to leave with two championships (it still has the BZW Tag Team Titles with MAO).

DDT/TOKYO JOSHI PRO/GCW “DDT VS TJPW VS GCW”, 19/04/2025
Pearl Theater At Palms Casino Resort, Las Vegas, Nevada, USA

1. Special Tag Match: KONOSUKE TAKESHITA & Masha Slamovich Vs Shinya Aoki & Miyu Yamashita

Alright this is a good start for a card that needs to be as crazy as possible to attract a right crowd before Wrestlemania begins. Konosuke Takeshita has fought Shinya Aoki several times before. Same goes for Yamashita and Masha Slamovich. So let’s mix them all up together for a unreal tag team battle!

Yoshiko Hasegawa To Retire In July

March 27, 2025

There was a press conference held in Shinjuku today where Yoshiko Hasegawa announced she will be graduating from Tokyo Joshi Pro and retiring from pro wrestling on 8th July. Hasegawa said she had originally considered retirement one year ago after she left Ganbare☆Pro and struggled with working on her own as a freelancer. But she met with Sanshiro Takagi who told her she should do whatever she wants to do. She wanted to be in TJPW so a deal was made between her and Tetsuya Koda to become a regular part of the roster. Yoppy’s time in TJPW motivated her to continue wrestling for a while until when women from her age group started retiring. Seeing people like Saki Akai and Nao Kakuta retire from wrestling and become active with other careers elsewhere made convinced her to change her mind. She is at her peak of abilities right now and wants to retire in this healthy state.

Hasegawa is grateful towards Actwres girl’Z for training her when she knew nothing about pro wrestling and did not have an athletic background. She is also grateful to GanPro for taking her in when she was injured and had no wrestling home to go to. Finaly, she thanks TJPW for letting her continue to enjoy pro wrestling. She still has some goals to reach before her final match. When she joined TJPW she said she wanted to have matches with every single wrestler on the roster and that has not happened yet. She would also like to challenge Suzume for the International Princess Title because they have wrestled each other several times before and Hasegawa looks up to Suzume.

Nothing has been decided yet on what Hasegawa’s final match is going to be. There are many wrestlers she would like to face but she wants to fight and beat strong opponents too. Whether she wins or loses it will be done with respect because TJPW is filled with wrestlers who really respect each other. She hopes fans will come to see all of her remaining matches and not just her retirement match.

To-y Still Injured, Ohka Gets Mochizuki, TJPW Title Matches Confirmed

March 24, 2025

Apparently tomorrow is when the official DDT website gets a makeover while Tokyo Joshi Pro will finally get an official website of their own again. For my own sake I hope it’s not going to make getting info more difficult.

BASARA “BASARA 274 ~UTAGE AKA – HIEN~”, 25/03/2025
Shin-Kiba 1st RING

1. Takato Nakano Vs Shota Kofuji
2. Isami Kodaka Vs Kosuke Sato
3. Daiki Shimomura Vs Keisuke Ishii
4. Masato Kamino Vs Yuko Miyamoto
5. Ryuichi Sekine, FUMA & Ryota Nakatsu V Takumi Tsukamoto, SAGAT & Yasu Urano

The match order for tomorrow’s BASARA show is swapped around a little bit.

DDT “O-HANAMI PRO WRESTLING 2025 – DAY 1”, 26/03/2025
Tokyo Ueno Park Outdoor Stage

1. MJ Paul & Ilusion Vs Kazusada Higuchi & JJ Furno
2. 3 Way Match: Shishamo Power Vs Takeshi Masada Vs Yuni
3. Falls Count Anywhere Blindfold Scramble Bunkhouse Match: Chris Brookes Vs Danshoku Dieno Vs HARASHIMA Vs Antonio Honda Vs Kazuki Hirata
4. Hanami KING OF DRUNK Preliminary Rumble: Yuki Ueno Vs MAO Vs Shunma Katsumata Vs Daisuke Sasaki Vs Soma Takao Vs Yukio Naya Vs Kazuma Sumi Vs Yuki Ishida
5. Special Tag Match: Takuya Nomura & Tomomitsu Matsunaga Vs Jun Akiyama & Yuya Koroku
6. Special Single Match: Fuminori Abe Vs Keigo Nakamura

To-y hasn’t recovered from his injury yet so he will be missing this week’s shows. The show on 26th March now has one less match on it after a bunch of wrestlers were moved around for To-y’s absence.

DDT “O-HANAMI PRO WRESTLING 2025 – DAY 2”, 27/03/2025
Tokyo Ueno Park Outdoor Stage

1. 3 Way Tag Match: Makoto Oishi & Akito Vs Kazusada Higuchi & Tomomitsu Matsunaga Vs MJ Paul & Ilusion
2. Maximum Allowance Of 5,000 Yen For Bringing The Weapons Death Match: Takeshi Masada & Keigo Nakamura Vs Yuni & Munetatsu Nakamura
3. Special Single Match: Yuya Koroku Vs JJ Furno
4. Special Tag Match: Chris Brookes & Danshoku Dieno Vs Kazuki Hirata & Antonio Honda
5. Hanami KING OF DRUNK Hangover 6-Man Tag Match For Losers Of The Preliminary Rumble: X, X & X Vs X, X & X
6. Hanami KING OF DRUNK Final: X Vs X

Not as many changes to Night 2 but a chunk of that lineup depends on how the KING OF DRUNK stuff turns out anyway. Makoto Oishi is now on the show though.

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “YUKI ARAI’S LAST TWO-SWORD STYLE ~ GO FOR THE VICTORY!!”, 29/03/2025
Aichi Chunichi Hall (Nagoya City)

1. Suzume, Mahiro Kiryu & Haruna Neko Vs Yuki Aino, Kaya Toribami & Ivy Steele
2. 3 Way Match: Pom Harajuku Vs Arisu Endo Vs Chika Nanase
3. Maki Itoh Vs Yoshiko Hasegawa
4. Shoko Nakajima & Hyper Misao Vs Yuki Kamifuku & Kira Summer
5. Yuki Arai, Miu Watanabe, Raku, Shino Suzuki & Uta Takami Vs Wakana Uehara, HIMAWARI, Haru Kazashiro, Toha & Mifu Ashida
6. Mizuki & Rika Tatsumi Vs Miyu Yamashita & Moka Miyamoto

At first it seems weird that Yuki Arai’s match isn’t the main event of this show but then I remember she has a concert to prepare for that’s happening at the end. Also there’s a Princess Of Princess Title match that needs to be built up. Priorities, people!

DDT “OWARI WARS 2025”, 29/03/2025
Aichi Chunichi Hall & Conference

1. 3 Way Match: Yukio Naya Vs JJ Furno Vs Yuki Ishida
2. Daisuke Sasaki, MJ Paul & Ilusion Vs Toru Owashi, Yasu Urano & Yuni
3. Special Single Match: Jun Akiyama Vs Antonio Honda
4. Special Tag Match: Chris Brookes & Kazuma Sumi Vs Yuya Koroku & Kazusada Higuchi
5. Special Tag Match: Minoru Suzuki & Akito Vs Shinya Aoki & Keigo Nakamura
6. MAO’s Last The 37KAMIINA Match: Yuki Ueno, MAO, Shunma Katsumata & To-y Vs HARASHIMA, Danshoku Dieno, Kazuki Hirata & Takeshi Masada

DDT have put together a ragtag team for MAO’s last match as a member of The 37KAMIINA. It starts out looking like an all-star squad with HARASHIMA and Danshoku Dieno then we get wacky with Kazuki Hirata and end with a youthful wild card in Takeshi Masada.

DDT “DDT MEET & GREET & FIGHT APRIL”, 03/04/2025
Tokyo Ueno Park Outdoor Stage

1. HARASHIMA & Yukio Naya Vs Kazuma Sumi & Yuki Ishida
2. Ilusion Vs Yuni
3. Special Tag Match: Yuya Koroku & Keigo Nakamura Vs To-y & Takeshi Masada

The young wrestlers take most of the stage for April’s “MEET & GREET & FIGHT” show including a return to the generational rivalry between Yuni and Ilusion.

DDT “CHANGE AGE 2025 ~YOUR LIE IN APRIL~”, 06/04/2025
Tokyo Korakuen Hall

0. Dark Match: Toru Owashi & Antonio Honda Vs MJ Paul & Ilusion
1. Special 6-Man Tag Match: MAO, Kazuki Hirata & Kumadori Vs Shunma Katsumata, Yuni & Kazuma Sumi
2. Special Single Match: Jun Akiyama Vs Daichi Sato
3. Naomi Yoshimura’s Return Match: Kazusada Higuchi, Naomi Yoshimura, Ryota Nakatsu & Yuki Ishida Vs Yukio Naya, To-y, Takeshi Masada & JJ Furno
4. 2 Vs 1 Special Handicap Match: Daisuke Sasaki & Hideki Okatani Vs KANON
5. Special Tag Match: Minoru Suzuki & Yuki Ueno Vs HARASHIMA & Danshoku Dieno
6. KO-D Tag Team Titles: Fuminori Abe & Takuya Nomura (c) Vs Shinya Aoki & Keigo Nakamura
7. KO-D Openweight Title: Chris Brookes (c) Vs Yuya Koroku

This looks a little bit awkward. Minoru Suzuki clearly enjoys being in the ring with Yuki Ueno but he did just take the DDT Universal Title away from him. How is Ueno going to act next to him when they team up together? The match is a chance for either HARASHIMA or Danshoku Dieno to nab themselves a future Universal Title shot if things go their way too.

GANBARE☆PRO “MAD MAX 2025 ~ GANBARE☆PRO WRESTLING 12TH ANNIVERSARY BOX OFFICE”, 11/04/2025
Tokyo Korakuen Hall

1. Mixed 6-Man Tag Match: Hartley Jackson, Daisuke®️ & HARUKAZE Vs Yasu Urano, PSYCHO & Banny Oikawa
2. Hikaru Sato & Tyson Maeguchi Vs Toru Sugiura & Munetatsu Nakamura
3. Mizuki Watase’s Return Match: Mizuki Watase, Shigehiro Irie, Choun-Shiryu & Rekka Vs Kouki Iwasaki, Takuya Wada, Fuminori Abe & Shota Kawakami
4. Special 6-Woman Tag Match: Yuna Manase, Koguma & Hazuki Vs Moeka Haruhi, YuuRI & Ami Manase
5. Special Single Match: Ken Ohka Vs Masaaki Mochizuki
6. Special Tag Team Match: Shuichiro Katsumura & Keisuke Ishii Vs Yuji Nagata & Tatsuhito Takaiwa
7. Spirit Of Ganbare World Openweight Title: Yumehito Imanari (c) Vs Shinichiro Tominaga

Here’s the full line up for Ganbare☆Pro’s return to Korakuen Hall. After weeks of searching Ken Ohka found his star opponent. It’s Masaaki Mochizuki from Dragongate! We also have Mizuki Watase returning in an 8-Man Tag (looks to me like he isn’t 100% ready yet) and a reunion of the Hentai Punch Drunkers. Meanwhile Munetatsu Nakamura picked up a friend from his recent FREEDOMS appearance, bringing Toru Sugiura over to team with him.

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “QUERI PRESENTS TJPW LIVE IN LAS VEGAS”, 18/04/2025
Pearl Theater At Palms Casino Resort, Las Vegas, Nevada, USA

1. Special Single Match: Masha Slamovich Vs Miu Watanabe
2. International Princess Title: Suzume (c) Vs Jada Stone
3. Princess Tag Team Titles: Miyu Yamashita & Maki Itoh (c) Vs Yuki Kamifuku & Wakana Uehara
4. Princess Of Princess Title: Mizuki (c) Vs Miyu Yamashita

The three title matches for Las Vegas are now confirmed. Mizuki has taken the risk of choosing Miyu Yamashita for her next Princess Title defence in the hopes she can finally beat her one on one. Yuki Kamifuku & Wakana Uehara have formed the team Ober Eats to challenge Kyoraku Kyomei for the Princess Tag Team Titles. Last but not least there is the rematch of Suzume versus Jada Stone with the International Princess Title again on the line.

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “GOLDEN WEEK FAN APPRECIATION DAY 「WEST」”, 05/05/2025
Osaka Edion Arena #2

1. SETUP All Asia Women’s Title: Raku (c) Vs Nor ‘Phoenix’ Diana

TJPW’s Golden Week shows will feature the Japanese debut of Malaysian wrestler Nor ‘Phoenix’ Diana. As part of her tour she will face Raku for the SETUP All Asia Women’s Title. Diana currently holds the APAC Women’s Title in Malaysia and is the latest name from the Southeast Asian wrestling scene to work with TJPW.

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “TJPW SPRING TOUR 2025 IN YOKOHAMA” Results

March 22, 2025

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “TJPW SPRING TOUR 2025 IN YOKOHAMA”, 22/03/2025
Yokohama Radiant Hall
258 Fans – Super No Vacancy

1. Mahiro Kiryu defeated Ivy Steele with the Spinebuster (6:46).
2. 3 Way Match: Rika Tatsumi defeated Haruna Neko and HIMAWARI when Tatsumi pinned Neko and HIMAWARI with a Double Roll Up (6:27).
3. Raku & Pom Harajuku defeated Yoshiko Hasegawa & Chika Nanase when Raku pinned Nanase with the Doctor Yellow (7:19).
4. Yuki Kamifuku & Wakana Uehara defeated Haru Kazashiro & Toga when Uehara submitted Toga with the Banana Pillow (10:03).
5. Suzume & Arisu Endo defeated Maki Itoh & Mifu Ashida when Suzume pinned Ashida with the Ring A Bell (9:45).
6. Shoko Nakajima & Hyper Misao defeated Miu Watanabe & Uta Takami when Nakajima pinned Takami with the Northern Lights Suplex (12:25).
7. Mizuki, Miyu Yamashita & Kaya Toribami defeated Yuki Aino, Moka Miyamoto & Shino Suzuki when Yamashita pinned Suzuki with the Skull Kick (12:59).

The road to Las Vegas now has a clear direction at least when it comes to the championship matches. Today’s show had plenty of challenges and announcements thrown out regarding the titles you will currently find in Tokyo Joshi Pro. After the main event Mizuki noticed Miyu Yamashita was like a rowdy monster in the ring today. She said she has never beaten Yamashita in a singles title match and really hates losing to her. She wants to become stronger so she nominates Yamashita to be her next challenger for the Princess Of Princess Title! Yamashita was surprised over how sudden this is and she would love it if they have the title match in America. Mizuki then asked Kaya Toribami who she will root for? Toribami hesitated and picked Mizuki because she is kind and Yamashita is scary.

The Princess Tag Team Titles match for Vegas is also set although it took a bit of effort to get there. Yuki Kamifuku & Wakana Uehara approached Kyoraku Kyomei to challenge them for the belts. Kamifuku has started to work really hard lately because Uehara’s parents recently gave her a gift in return for taking care of their daughter. However Shoko Nakajima thought the two of them were taking the concept of a title challenge for granted. Hyper Misao also doesn’t sense they vibe together as a proper tag team because they don’t even have a name yet (I guess Ayase Town Hills New Hills didn’t catch on). Kamifuku wanted to give up but Uehara kept trying to think up of a name. It wasn’t until later in the show backstage when Kamifuku & Uehara approached Kyoraku Kyomei again. They threw out another challenge because this time they have a tag team name. Together they are called OberEats! Nakajima thinks the name sounds familiar but she and Misao were convinced enough to give them the title shot for Vegas.

It was announced that Suzume will defend the International Princess Title against Jada Stone again. The rematch of last month’s title bout will happen in Las Vegas on 18th April. Suzume knows it won’t be easy to beat Stone again. Also things are still good between Daisy Monkey after their recent title match. Suzume & Arisu Endo had fun teaming up again today and remembered being next to each other is the best.

The bond between Raku and Pom Harajuku has also become stronger after their title match. They spent just as much time playing games with Raku’s pillow than they did wrestle their opponents. It was also revealed that Raku’s first defence of the SETUP All Asia Women’s Title will happen in May. Malaysian wrestler Nor ‘Phoenix’ Diana is coming to TJPW on 3rd May and will face Raku in a title match on 5th May. Raku predicts Diana will be sleep deprived from the flight to Japan so she will listen to some Malaysian lullabies as part of her strategy to beat her.

Card Updates For March, Laughter Leads To Hell

March 21, 2025

There has been no further update on Masahiro Takanashi’s condition since yesterday. He is still undergoing medical examinations and DDT will announce the results of his diagnosis on a later date.

GANBARE☆PRO “BOAT RACE G1 TODA PRIMROSE”, 22/03/2026
Saitama Boat Race Toda

0. CWP Offer Match: Daisuke®️ & Dick Zlater Vs Doshipan & Takeshita
1. Sayaka Unagi & Banny Oikawa Vs Yuna Manase & YuuRI
2. El Gambaman Vs London Machine
3. Keisuke Ishii & Kouki Iwasaki Vs Hartley Jackson & Shota Kawakami
4. Shiro Koshinaka, Ken Ohka & Yumehito Imanari Vs Tatsuhito Takaiwa, Shuichiro Katsumura & Choun-Shiryu

The wrestlers taking part in the CWP match have been decided.

DDT “NANIWA FIGHTER 2025”, 23/03/2025
Osaka City Miyakojima Community Center

1. JJ Furno Vs Tomomitsu Matsunaga
2. Danshoku Dieno & Antonio Honda Vs Toru Owashi & Yukio Naya
3. Daisuke Sasaki, MJ Paul & Ilusion Vs Keigo Nakamura, Yuni & Kazuma Sumi
4. Special Single Match: Jun Akiyama Vs Akito
5. Special 6-Man Tag Match: Yuki Ueno, MAO & Shunma Katsumata Vs Kazusada Higuchi, Kazuki Hirata & Yuki Ishida
6. Special Tag Match: Chris Brookes & Takeshi Masada Vs Yuya Koroku & HARASHIMA

There was another injury coming out of yesterday’s show. To-y injured the side of his body and is taking this weekend off as a precaution.

KANON has also requested to take a short amount of time off. He isn’t booked again until 6th April.

DDT “O-HANAMI PRO WRESTLING 2025 – DAY 1”, 26/03/2025
Tokyo Ueno Park Outdoor Stage

1. Kazusada Higuchi & Yuni Vs MJ Paul & Ilusion
2. Special Single Match: Shishamo Power Vs Tomomitsu Matsunaga
3. Special Single Match: Takeshi Masada Vs JJ Furno
4. Falls Count Anywhere Blindfold Scramble Bunkhouse Match: Chris Brookes Vs Danshoku Dieno Vs HARASHIMA Vs Antonio Honda Vs Kazuki Hirata
5. Hanami KING OF DRUNK Preliminary Rumble: Yuki Ueno Vs MAO Vs Shunma Katsumata Vs To-y Vs Daisuke Sasaki Vs Soma Takao Vs Yukio Naya Vs Yuki Ishida
6. Special Tag Match: Takuya Nomura & Kazuma Sumi Vs Jun Akiyama & Yuya Koroku
7. Special Single Match: Fuminori Abe Vs Keigo Nakamura

The arrival of Astronauts is adding some freshness to the DDT cards. Fuminori Abe is going to face Keigo Nakamura in a preview of next month’s KO-D Tag Team Titles match. Also I bet a few people out there will be excited by the idea of Takuya Nomura and Jun Akiyama crossing paths even if it’s just in a tag match.

A change of plans for the Hanami KING OF DRUNK tournament. Takanashi’s injury reduces the Battle Royal down to eight wrestlers so it is now going to be the last two men standing who will qualify for the final. Also Chris Brookes is no longer taking part in it, presumably out of respect for Takanashi. Yuki Ueno is swapping places with him on the card instead.

The masked man from the seafood sponsorship is back! Shishamo Power will be in action.

DDT “O-HANAMI PRO WRESTLING 2025 – DAY 2”, 27/03/2025
Tokyo Ueno Park Outdoor Stage

1. 3 Way Tag Match: Kazusada Higuchi & Kazuma Sumi Vs MJ Paul & Ilusion Vs Akito & Tomomitsu Matsunaga
2. Maximum Allowance Of 5,000 Yen For Bringing The Weapons Death Match: Takeshi Masada & Keigo Nakamura Vs Yuni & Munetatsu Nakamura
3. Special Single Match: Yuya Koroku Vs JJ Furno
4. Special Tag Match: Chris Brookes & Danshoku Dieno Vs Kazuki Hirata & Antonio Honda
5. Hanami KING OF DRUNK Hangover 6-Man Tag Match For Losers Of The Preliminary Rumble: X, X & X Vs X, X & X
6. Hanami KING OF DRUNK Final: X Vs X

Here is a big chance for JJ Furno to get some attention if he can beat the current No. 1 Contender Yuya Koroku.

DDT “OWARI WARS 2025”, 29/03/2025
Aichi Chunichi Hall & Conference

1. Special Single Match: Jun Akiyama Vs Antonio Honda
2. Special Tag Match: Minoru Suzuki & Akito Vs Shinya Aoki & Keigo Nakamura
3. MAO’s Last The 37KAMIINA Match: Yuki Ueno, MAO, Shunma Katsumata & To-y Vs X, X, X & X

In a move that could eventually lead to a big shake up in DDT, MAO has decided to leave The 37KAMIINA and his final match with the unit will be at the end of the month. He feels he has done everything he can do with the sauna club and has goals he knows he cannot reach if he stays where he is now. He teased having a crazy looking schedule for the next four months heading into the summer. The first piece of that story is today’s news that he is booked for a New Japan show at Korakuen Hall on 4th April along with Yuya Koroku. It is also notable that MAO is not taking part in this year’s King Of DDT tournament despite winning it last year. Could he finally be Best Of The Super Juniors bound?

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “SPRING FESTIVAL DEBUT IN UENO!”, 02/04/2025
Tokyo Ueno Park Outdoor Stage

1. Arisu Endo Vs Uta Takami
2. Suzume & Haruna Neko Vs Toga & Chika Nanase

There will be more detailed rules explained for the main event soon but so far it is going to be Best 2 out of 3 Falls with no time limit.

Antonio Honda & Trans-Am ★ Hiroshi remain as some of the few men to get booked on a Tokyo Joshi Pro show.

DDT “CHANGE AGE 2025 ~YOUR LIE IN APRIL~”, 06/04/2025
Tokyo Korakuen Hall

1. Naomi Yoshimura’s Return Match: Kazusada Higuchi, Naomi Yoshimura, Ryota Nakatsu & Yuki Ishida Vs X, X, X & X
2. Special 6-Man Tag Match: MAO, Kazuki Hirata & Kumadori Vs Shunma Katsumata, Yuni & Kazuma Sumi

4. 2 Vs 1 Special Handicap Match: Daisuke Sasaki & Hideki Okatani Vs KANON
5. KO-D Tag Team Titles: Fuminori Abe & Takuya Nomura (c) Vs Shinya Aoki & Keigo Nakamura
6. KO-D Openweight Title: Chris Brookes (c) Vs Yuya Koroku

It is now confirmed that Chris Brookes is the defending KO-D Openweight Champion taking on Yuya Koroku. They’re going to have better chances to hype up their match in the coming weeks.

Keigo Nakamura has a very strong tag partner in Shinya Aoki but he is reaching the point where he does not want to hopelessly rely on him. Instead he wants to use his own power to beat Astronauts for the KO-D Tag Team Titles.

KANON will be returning from his brief absence ready to fight DAMNATION T.A all by himself. He has nothing left and doesn’t care if Daisuke Sasaki & Hideki Okatani trample all over him again.

Daichi Sato is officially welcomed into the DDT roster on this show. Jun Akiyama is the welcoming party.

All of Harimao will be reunited when Naomi Yoshimura comes back for his first match since November 2022.

Osaka City Sumiyoshi Civic Center

1. Special 6-Man Tag Match ~Laughter Leads To Hell~: Kuishinbo Kamen, Shunma Katsumata & Ram Kaichow Vs Kikutaro, Antonio Honda & No Name

“Laughter Leads To Hell” is a pretty apt description for the first match added to Yukinori Matsui’s show.

Trans-Am ★ Hiroshi will be on the show.

Loser Must Join DDT Match, 3 Minutes Impact, GanPro’s Korakuen Main Event

March 17, 2025

I won’t be writing up a preview for the show because I want to keep that to big arena shows and American events. So even though DDT is celebrating their anniversary on Thursday it’s still a Korakuen Hall show at the end of the day. Also I’ve had a busy St. Patrick’s Day and would like to sleep some of it off while I have the chance. The next previews I write will be for the Las Vegas shows next month.

DDT “JUDGEMENT 2025 ~28TH ANNIVERSARY 5 HOUR SPECIAL~”, 20/03/2025
Tokyo Korakuen Hall

The DDT Extreme Title match will be held under normal pro wrestling rules however the stipulation is in regards to the result. If Danshoku Dieno wins then Super Sasadango Machine must become a full time regular member of the DDT roster again instead of his current semi-affiliation with the company. If Sasadango wins and becomes champion then Dieno’s pet dog Haku must join the DDT roster!

A few things are noticeable here in the first show after “GRAND PRINCESS ’25”. It’s mostly opponents at that show going back to teaming with each other. Daisy Monkey look to be on the same page and so to are RakuPom. We also have Kyoraku Kyomei’s first match since winning the Princess Tag Team Titles. The team that isn’t together anymore is 121000000 because Miyu Yamashita and Maki Itoh have been put in different matches here.

Kira Summer will not be at the show due to family reasons.

A new match type is being introduced on the MatchMake & Agent show.

The 3 Minutes Impact match has a three minute time limit and is being booked to air on DDT’s Twitter page. The first match under the rules has Shigehiro Irie taking on former All Japan now JTO associated wrestler Ryoma Tsukamoto.
