Catching Up On DDT

January 14, 2026

I’m mostly back on track with everything. A show report here and there still needs to be written about. The big lesson I’ve learned from my Japan trip is not to go on holiday if I come back needing to catch up on fifteen different shows.

DDT “DRAMATIC DREAM TAMAGAWA IN BOAT RACE TAMAGAWA”, 15/01/2026
Tokyo BOAT RACE Tamagawa

1. Sanshiro Takagi & Junta Miyawaki Vs Tomomitsu Matsunaga & Hinata Kasai
2. Chris Brookes, HARASHIMA & Kazuki Hirata Vs Danshoku Dieno, Akito & Pokotan
3. Tokyo Joshi Pro Wrestling Offer Match: Aja Kong & Yuki Kamifuku Vs Shoko Nakajima & Chika Nanase
4. MAO, KANON (w/ KIMIHIRO) & Kazuma Sumi Vs Naomi Yoshimura, Takeshi Masada & Yuki Ishida
5. Jun Akiyama, To-y & Yuya Koroku Vs Yuki Iino, Yukio Naya & Rukiya

Pro wrestling is really getting into boat racing lately, huh? DDT (with a little bit of Tokyo Joshi Pro) is the latest promotion to spend a day at a lake holding wrestling matches and throwing in some other activities to keep the crowd occupied in between the races.

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

1. Danshoku Dieno, Antonio Honda & Akito Vs Kazuki Hirata, Takeshi Masada & Rukiya
2. D GENERATIONS CUP 2026 – A Block: Daichi Sato (2) Vs Ilusion (0)
3. D GENERATIONS CUP 2026 – A Block: To-y (2) Vs Yuki Ishida (2)
4. Special 8-Man Tag Match: Sanshiro Takagi, Jun Akiyama, Shinya Aoki & Tomomitsu Matsunaga Vs Naomi Yoshimura, Ryoma Tsukamoto, Kazuma Sumi & Hinata Kasai
5. Special 6-Man Tag Match: MAO, KANON (w/ KIMIHIRO) & Junta Miyawaki Vs Yuki Iino, Yukio Naya & Yuya Koroku
6. DAMNATION T.A Vs FANTÔMES DRAMATIC!: Daisuke Sasaki & Hideki Okatani Vs Chris Brookes & HARASHIMA

Some of the upcoming DDT shows have to change their lineups a little bit because Yuki Ueno has a calf injury and cannot wrestle. He is still appearing at the events but isn’t allowed to do much physically. He should be good to go for Korakuen Hall at the end of the month but DDT aren’t going to take any chances on him right now.

DDT “MISSION IN BATTLE ~SHINSHUN KENRAN~”, 25/01/2026
Tokyo Korakuen Hall

1. Hideki Okatani & MJ Paul Vs Naomi Yoshimura & Kumadori
2. D GENERATIONS CUP 2006 Special 10-Man Tag Match: To-y, Daichi Sato, Yuki Ishida, Ilusion & Kazuma Sumi Vs Takeshi Masada, Yuya Koroku, Yuni, Rukiya & Hinata Kasai
3. Special 6-Man Tag Match ~ Yoshihiko Return Match: Minoru Suzuki, Danshoku Dieno & Yoshihiko Vs Super Sasadango Machine, Kazuki Hirata & Antonio Honda
4. Special Single Match: Shinya Aoki Vs Junta Miyawaki
5. Special Tag Match: KONOSUKE TAKESHITA & Jun Akiyama Vs HARASHIMA & Kaisei Takechi
6. KO-D Tag Team Titles: MAO & KANON (c) (w/ KIMIHIRO) Vs Yuki Iino & Yukio Naya
7. KO-D Openweight Title & DDT Universal Title – Irregular 3 Way Match: Yuki Ueno (c/c) Vs Daisuke Sasaki Vs Chris Brookes

Big plans are in store for Kaisei Takechi’s next couple of matches in DDT. First up he and HARASHIMA will be teaming up to face the mighty team of Konosuke Takeshita & Jun Akiyama! This is the strongest pair of wrestlers DDT could find for Takechi and he appreciates being given such a tough challenge.

The newcomer Junta Miyawaki is quickly getting the kind of matches he’s been looking for in DDT. Someone he always wanted to wrestle is Shinya Aoki after being a fan of his since his middle school days. He has studied many of Aoki’s fighting techniques and just making the challenge has impressed Aoki with his ambition.

After a four month absence to deal with injuries, Yoshihiko returns to the ring hopefully feeling refreshed and having a new lease on life. Good thing it will be teaming with Minoru Suzuki and not against him.

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

1. D GENERATIONS CUP 2026 – Final: Winner Of Block A Vs Winner Of Block B
2. Kaisei Takechi 2nd Anniversary Match: Yuki Ueno Vs Kaisei Takechi

Takechi’s other big match coming up will celebrate the 2nd Anniversary of his debut. He wants to wrestle Yuki Ueno and gets that wish in February.

D GENERATIONS CUP 2026

December 22, 2025

The fourth annual D GENERATIONS CUP tournament will this time crown a No. 1 Contender for the DDT Universal Title. It will consist of two round robin blocks containing five wrestlers each.

Wins are worth two points, draws are worth one point and no points are rewarded for Double Countouts or No Contests. Head-to-head results will be used as tiebreakers and if that does not work then a playoff will take place to determine the block winner on the same show as the final.

A Block

DDT “YOKOHAMA BAY☆CLUTCH” Results

September 6, 2025

DDT “YOKOHAMA BAY☆CLUTCH”, 06/09/2025
Yokohama Radiant Hall
??? Fans – Unannounced

1. Naomi Yoshimura & Tomomitsu Matsunaga defeated Rukiya & Hinata Kasai when Yoshimura submitted Kasai with a Side Headlock (9:37).
2. Special 6-Man Tag Match: Kazusada Higuchi, HARASHIMA & Yuki Ishida defeated Shigehiro Irie, Soma Takao & Kazuma Sumi when Ishida pinned Sumi with the Ensho (9:01).
3. Hideki Okatani, Ilusion & MJ Paul defeated KANON, KANON & Daichi Sato when Paul pinned Sato with the Reverse Splash (12:01).
4. Yuki Ueno, To-y & Yuya Koroku defeated Yuki Iino, Yukio Naya & Jun Akiyama when Koroku pinned Naya with a Body Press (13:37).
5. Special Tag Match: Minoru Suzuki & Shinya Aoki defeated Chris Brookes & Takeshi Masada when Suzuki submitted Masada with a Heel Hold (7:25).
6. Special 3 Way Match: Kazuki Hirata defeated Danshoku Dieno and Antonio Honda when Hirata pinned Honda with the Anal Egoist Driver (13:45).

With three Right To Challenge Arm Covers still in play and at least two of its holders wanting to cash them in as soon as possible, Kazuki Hirata intentionally delayed himself and arrived late at the venue. That meant when Yuki Ishida wanted to cash in his Arm Cover for a KO-D Openweight Title shot after Match #2, Akito had to tell him he couldn’t because Hirata hadn’t made it to the building yet. When Hirata finally arrived it was right when the entrances for the main event took place so he went straight to the ring bringing his luggage with him.

As for the actual main event, Hirata wanted to go all out in the ring against Danshoku Dieno and Antonio Honda. He went as far as to decide against putting on the Hirata GO! glasses while also encouraging Dieno not to go into the Hell Gate position. Honda even avoided tripping over the ropes to keep the match serious. But when the match was about to reach its conclusion where Hirata would beat Honda using the Egoist Driver, the voice of a fairy from the GO! glasses spoke out to Hirata asking if he was really okay with doing things this way? Then the voice of a fairy from Dieno’s pants started to speak, asking Dieno a similar question. Finally, a third fairy’s voice spoke to Honda but it was from Gongitsune itself. Honda snapped everyone back to their senses and the three agreed to use their gimmicks. Hirata put on the glasses, Dieno went into the Hell Gate position with his pants pulled down and Honda used the Hell Gate to charge up Gongitsune. Hirata blocked Honda’s attack, turned it against him and then used the Egoist Driver to win the match.

Hirata quickly got changed after the match wanting to leave the venue as quickly as he could. However both Yuki Iino and Yuki Ishida climbed into the ring wanting to cash in their RTC Arm Covers. They were both suddenly attacked by Honda who heroicly shoved each of their heads into Dieno’s Hell Gate to knock them out. Dieno then told Hirata that the three of them will always be the “2nd Match Mates” even when they are in the main event. He and Honda are proud of what Hirata has accomplished and they encourage him to carry their feelings as his title reign survives for another day. He then told Hirata to go home so the show would end which means no one will be allowed to cash in on him today. Hirata ran off but bumped into the third RTC Arm Cover holder Hideki Okatani along the way. Luckily for him, Okatani didn’t know what was going on and he allowed Hirata to escape.

Ishida then recovered and tried to cash in his title shot but Akito explained to him that the show was now over and Hirata went home. Akito admitted this rule is a blindspot DDT did not expect to be exploited and he asked Ishida to wait until the next show to cash in. Then sometime later in the day Hirata actually returned to the venue to take part in an autograph session. Ishida approached him demanding the title match but Hirata told him the show is already over and he has to wait. All he can do is offer him some chocolate, which Ishida accepted. Hirata was also asked who he wants his scheduled challenger to be on 28th September and he once again said Hisaya Imabayashi. First it was because Imabayashi is a weak opponent but now Hirata believes it will also be the most unpredictable KO-D Title match DDT could ever put on!

Takeshi Masada is now learning the consequences of angering Minoru Suzuki. There was a contract signing for their upcoming DDT Universal Title match during the show. Masada spoke about how he is still haunted by how the first time he challenged for the title went and winning the belt this time will erase those painful memories. Suzuki laughed at those comments and told Masada not to use him and the championship as something to create a happy memory with while he is still young. The contacts were signed and the two posed for pictures when Masada hit Suzuki with an Elbow Strike. That made Suzuki so mad he attacked Masada with a chair and hit him in the left leg with it multiple times. Their tag match later in the show still went ahead despite Masada clearly favoring his injury and Suzuki continued to target the limb until Masada gave up to a Heel Hold. Backstage Suzuki gave a message that Masada does not realise who he is challenging. The Universal Champion is Minoru Suzuki and he is going to break Takeshi Masada!

The next challengers for the KO-D Tag Team Titles got a shock win over the champions. Yukio Naya was going to give Yuya Koroku The World’s Best Back Drop when To-y cut him off with a Dropkick. Koroku then repositioned himself to land on top of Naya as they both fell and he got the pinfall out of nowhere. To-y then bragged about being louder than Iino was during the match. He did it to show that he and Koroku have their own strengths that can be used to beat The Apex’s power. Those strengths are Koroku’s grit and To-y’s cockiness.

There was also an emergency press conference involving Yuki Iino that took place at the show. He announced he has become a trainee for his local American Football team, the Nojima Sagamihara Rise and will now become a duel athlete while he continues his pro wrestling career with DDT. Iino thought about doing this when he was recovering from his eye injury, feeling at 30 years old he wanted to play a field sport again and would regret it if he didn’t. When Iino approached Sanshiro Takagi with the idea of playing American football, he received an immediate approval. Takagi at the announcement said wrestling has a history of American football players switching to pro wrestling but the other way around is quite rare (like Brock Lesnar and that whole thing is among the biggest wrestling butterfly effects to happen in the 21st century). The Rise GM Mitsunobu Ishii brought up examples of other dual sport athletes and said he has high expectations for Iino. The plan is for Iino to play on the defensive line and become a registered player in time for next year’s season of the X League. Should he make it to the first team then his gridiron career will take priority. He will then wrestle in DDT whenever his schedule allows it.

Kyoraku Kyomei Vs Ober Eats Goes Overseas, Team 100% Yuki, TOGO FAMILY

September 5, 2025

DDT “D GENERATIONS 6 ~DDT MEET & GREET & FIGHT SEPTEMBER~”, 06/09/2025
Tokyo Ueno Park Outdoor Stage

1. Six Major Single Match I: Munetatsu Nakamura Vs Hinata Kasai
2. Six Major Single Match II: Ilusion Vs Rukiya
3. Six Major Single Match III: Ryoma Tsukamoto Vs Daichi Sato
4. Six Major Single Match IV: Hideki Okatani Vs Kazuma Sumi
5. Six Major Single Match V: To-y Vs Takeshi Masada
6. Six Major Single Match VI: Yuya Koroku Vs Yuki Ishida

A very busy weekend of shows ahead. Let’s start off with the match order for the D GENERATIONS show that will kick everything off.

The current Right To Challenge Arm Cover holders are Yuki Iino (Red), Hideki Okatani (Blue) and Yuya Koroku (Green).

DDT “YOKOHAMA BAY☆CLUTCH”, 06/09/2025
Yokohama Radiant Hall

1. Naomi Yoshimura & Tomomitsu Matsunaga Vs Rukiya & Hinata Kasai
2. Special 6-Man Tag Match: Kazusada Higuchi, HARASHIMA & Yuki Ishida Vs Shigehiro Irie, Soma Takao & Kazuma Sumi
3. Hideki Okatani, Ilusion & MJ Paul Vs KANON, KANON & Daichi Sato
4. Yuki Iino, Yukio Naya & Jun Akiyama Vs Yuki Ueno, To-y & Yuya Koroku
5. Special Tag Match: Minoru Suzuki & Shinya Aoki Vs Chris Brookes & Takeshi Masada
6. Special 3 Way Match: Danshoku Dieno Vs Kazuki Hirata Vs Antonio Honda

The card has been changed around a bit because Akito has aggravated an old injury of his and will not be at the show tomorrow. Tomomitsu Matsunaga will come in to take his place.

A big task awaits for Takeshi Masada. It’s bad enough he pissed off Minoru Suzuki when he challenged him for the DDT Universal Title but before that match happens he also has to deal with Shinya Aoki in the meantime.

Yuki Iino will be hold an emergency press conference at the show tomorrow. I don’t expect the news to be drastic like him leaving the company anytime soon just because he’s already in the middle of a storyline and holds a few prizes that DDT would need take off of him if he was to leave for somewhere else. Maybe he just wants to announce when he is cashing in his title shot.

DDT “FIGHTING BEER GARDEN 2025 IN SHINJUKU ~EXTRA TIME~”, 12/09/2025
Shinjuku FACE

1. Akito, Soma Takao & Rukiya Vs Daichi Sato, Yuki Ishida & Hinata Kasai
2. Hideki Okatani, Ilusion & MJ Paul Vs To-y, Yuya Koroku & Kazuma Sumi
3. Special Single Match: Shinya Aoki Vs Takeshi Masada
4. Our LariPro ’25: HARASHIMA, Keisuke Ishii & MAO Vs Yuki Ueno, Toru Owashi & Tomomitsu Matsunaga
5. Enter Sandman Match: Kazuki Hirata Vs Danshoku Dieno Vs Chris Brookes Vs KANON (w/ KIMIHIRO) Vs Antonio Honda
6. Yukio Naya 8th Anniversary ~ Special Tag Match: Yukio Naya & Kazusada Higuchi Vs Yuki Iino & Jun Akiyama

The addition of KANON to the Enter Sandman Match also means KIMIHIRO will be getting involved too. If there was ever a time for someone to try rapping over Metallica, this would be it.

Another match where Masada has to fight Aoki. That better sharpen him up for Suzuki pretty good.

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “I WANT TO SAVE EVERYONE WITH A SMILE ~ ARISU’S AIZUWAKAMATSU GRAND MARCH”, 13/09/2025
Fukushima Aizuwakamatsu City Tsurugajo Gymnasium

1. Raku & Pom Harajuku (w/ Akabe) Vs HIMAWARI & Ren Konatsu (w/ Kappa Green)
2. Kaya Toribami Vs Uta Takami
3. Hyper Misao Vs Wakana Uehara
4. Miu Watanabe & Toga Vs Mahiro Kiryu & Chika Nanase
5. Mizuki Vs Mifu Ashida
6. Aja Kong, Suzume & Shino Suzuki Vs Rika Tatsumi, Yuki Aino & Kira Summer
7. Arisu Endo & Yuki Arai Vs Miyu Yamashita & Haru Kazashiro

On the same day this show happens, Shoko Nakajima and Yuki Kamifuku will be wrestling each other for the MLW Women’s World Featherweight Title over in America. When MLW made the decision to book that match, Tokyo Joshi Pro came up with an idea to have the other halves Kyoraku Kyomei and Ober Eats face each other back in Japan. That means Hyper Misao and Wakana Uehara are going to clash one on one in an international buildup for the Princess Tag Team Titles!

One of the novelties that happen when TJPW come to Arisu Endo’s hometown is the local mascots get involved in the show. Akabe and Kappa Green have both featured on these shows in the past but never at the same time. Until next weekend that is.

DDT “SUMIRE SEPTEMBER LOVE 2025”, 14/09/2025
Hokkaido Sapporo Sun Plaza

1. MJ Paul Vs Kazuma Sumi
2. Special 6-Man Tag Match: Yuki Iino, Tomomitsu Matsunaga & Ryuto Vs Tomoya, Yuya Koroku & Hinata Kasai
3. Special 6-Man Tag Match: Kazusada Higuchi, Yukio Naya & Yuki Ishida Vs Jun Akiyama, Noriyuki Yoshida & Daichi Sato
4. Special 3 Way Tag Match: HARASHIMA & Danshoku Dieno Vs MAO & KANON Vs Chris Brookes & Takeshi Masada
5. Sapporo Specialty Trial Of Two Single Matches Again – Round 1!: Kazuki Hirata Vs Akito
6. Special Single Match: Yuki Ueno Vs Hideki Okatani
7. DDT Extreme Title: To-y (c) Vs Ilusion

The Sapporo Specialty Trial has become more important now that Kazuki Hirata is the KO-D Openweight Champion. It looks like Akito will be in good shape by the time these two matches take place.

DDT “SUMIRE MELTY LOVE 2025”, 15/09/2025
Hokkaido Sapporo Sun Plaza

1. Hideki Okatani, Ilusion & MJ Paul Vs Danshoku Dieno, Ryuto & Kazuma Sumi
2. Special 6-Man Tag Match: To-y, Tomoya & Noriyuki Yoshida Vs Yukio Naya, Tomomitsu Matsunaga & Hinata Kasai
3. Sapporo Specialty Trial Of Two Single Matches Again – Round 2!: Akito Vs Kazuki Hirata
4. Special Tag Match: MAO & KANON Vs HARASHIMA & Yuya Koroku
5. Special Single Match: Kazusada Higuchi Vs Daichi Sato
6. Special 6-Man Tag Match: Yuki Iino, Yuki Ueno & Yuki Ishida Vs Jun Akiyama, Chris Brookes & Takeshi Masada

TJPW isn’t the only place to have a trio of Yuki’s teaming together. DDT can do that too. Behold… Team 100% Yuki!

BASARA “BASARA 288 ~UTAGE~”, 17/09/2025
Shin-Kiba 1st RING

1. 3 Way Tag Match: Isami Kodaka & Takumi Tsukamoto Vs Ryuichi Sekine & FUMA Vs Daiki Shimomura & Lil’ Kraken
2. Ryota Nakatsu, Daichi Kazato & Guts Ishijima Vs Trans-Am ★ Hiroshi, Masato Kamino & Tsutomu Oosugi
3. Takeru Inoue Vs Tomoki Hatano
4. Takato Nakano Vs Gouma Ryu
5. Iron Fist Tag Team Titles: Kengo Mashimo & Ayumu Honda (c) Vs SAGAT & Minoru Fujita

Preparations for the upcoming Iron Fist Tag Tournament are in full gear at the next BASARA show. Takeru Inoue and Tomoki Hatano will be teaming up for the tournament but they will wrestle each other here first. Several other teams will be in action too.

At the last show Masato Kamino teamed up with WizRYU under a mask as Body Slam Machine. Now Gouma Ryu had nothing to do with that but the new unit is named after him so he better be careful if Takato Nakano thinks he is taking away his Aijin Tag partner.

Daichi Kazato gets his wish to team up with Guts Ishijima. His tournament partner Ryota Nakatsu is on the team too so at least there is someone normal there for Ishijima to get along with.

DDT “CHARISMANIAxMANIAxMANIA”, 02/10/2025
Tokyo Korakuen Hall

1. TOGO FAMILY Vs DDT: Dick Togo, Yasu Urano, KUBITO & Diego Vs Kazusada Higuchi, Yuki Ueno, HARASHIMA & Akito
2. Daisuke Sasaki 20th Anniversary Match: Daisuke Sasaki & El Desperado Vs Shuji Ishikawa & Antonio Honda

At the moment it’s unclear is Daisuke Sasaki’s rib injury will force him out of his own show. But at least on the undercard we get Dick Togo summoning several of his proteges together for a big tag match against DDT’s all stars. Yasu Urano, KUBITO & Diego all have Togo to thank for various part of their wrestling careers.

DDT “ULTIMATE PARTY 2025”, 03/11/2025
Tokyo Ryogoku Kokugikan

1. Sanshiro Takagi Return Match – Special Single Match: Sanshiro Takagi Vs Hinata Kasai
2. Special Tag Match: KONOSUKE TAKESHITA & Kaisei Takechi Vs X & X
3. Dramatic Dream Match: Zack Sabre Jr. Vs Chris Brookes

DDT promised this week that a special guest will be at “ULTIMATE PARTY 2025” and they revealed it to be Tetsuya Endo. He’ll be returning to DDT for one night only before going back to finish his year long excursion at NOAH.

The amount of life points To-y and Yuya Koroku will begin with depends on how many social media posts they make can reach over 10,000 impressions. They will get one life point for every 10,000 impressions they receive from now until the day of the match. Life points are reduced by pinfall count, making an opponent submit, forcing them to make a rope break and throwing them out of the ring.

They bonded over a year’s supply of tequila given to Desperado by the match sponsor so it was only a matter of time before they got to team up. One of their opponents is Shuji Ishikawa, formerly “The Big Dog” for Sasaki when the original DAMNATION was formed. He will be teaming with Antonio Honda.

Also booked for the show are the rest of DAMNATION T.A plus a few others. They are Dick Togo, Minoru Fujita, Hideki Okatani, Ilusion, MJ Paul and Diego.

DDT “YOKOHAMERMAID” Results

August 9, 2025

DDT “YOKOHAMERMAID”, 09/08/2025
Yokohama Radiant Hall
??? Fans – Unannounced

1. Special Single Match: Shinya Aoki defeated Takeshi Masada with the Aoki Clutch (7:21).
2. Right To Challenge Anytime, Anywhere 3 Way Match: Kazuki Hirata defeated Danshoku Dieno and Super Sasadango Machine when Hirata pinned Dieno with the Miracle One Shot Cradle (13:27).
*Kazuki Hirata wins the Yellow Right To Challenge Anytime, Anywhere Arm Cover.
3. Special Single Match: HARASHIMA defeated Daichi Sato with the Somato (9:41).
4. Named By Kazuki Hirata “I’m Koroku” Rule: Chris Brookes & Yuya Koroku defeated Yuki Ueno & To-y when Koroku submitted To-y with the Modified Triangle Lancer (12:29).
5. Special Tag Match: Kazusada Higuchi & Yuki Ishida defeated Jun Akiyama & Tomomitsu Matsunaga when Higuchi submitted Matsunaga with the Claw (9:22).
6. Special Tag Match: MAO & KANON (w/ KIMIHIRO) defeated Minoru Suzuki & Akito when MAO pinned Akito with a Gedo Clutch (14:16).
7. KO-D 6-Man Tag Team Titles: Daisuke Sasaki, Hideki Okatani & Ilusion (c) defeated Yuki Iino, Yukio Naya & Kazuma Sumi when Okatani pinned Sumi with the Vertical Drop Brainbuster (20:42).
*V4 for DAMNATION T.A.

The two and a half heavyweight challengers tried using their size to take the KO-D 6-Man Tag Team Titles from DAMNATION T.A. by stacking up on each other. But they didn’t think it through so Kazuma Sumi tried and failed to piggyback Yuki Iino and Yukio Naya over his shoulders. MJ Paul then pulled the referee out of the ring when Naya had Choke Slammed Hideki Okatani. With the ref down, Daisuke Sasaki started attacking the other team with a chair and Ilusion gave them Low Blows too. The Apex figured out how to stack themselves up properly by having Iino piggyback Naya and Sumi stand on top of them for a dive. Unfortunately Sumi missed and despite trying to use the School Boy for a last gasp victory, he ended up getting pinned by Okatani with the Vertical Drop Brainbuster.

After the match Okatani taunted The Apex by telling them to train more for the KO-D Tag Team Titles match at “WRESTLE PETER PAN 2025”. Sasaki said that won’t matter because he and Okatani will surpass them through sheer talent alone. He then had an announcement to make about “CHARISMANIAxMANIAxMANIA” on 2nd October. The main event is going to be Sasaki & El Desperado taking on Shuji Ishikawa & Antonio Honda! Two years after Sasaki and Desperado fought each other in DDT, they now want to team up!

A trickster to the end, MAO was involved in one of the more creative match finishes of the year. He tried to pin Akito with the Japanese Leg Roll Clutch but Minoru Suzuki blocked it and put him in the Sleeper Hold. KANON broke that up and knocked Suzuki into MAO back to back. From there MAO gave Suzuki a Backslide Pin while applying the Gedo Clutch to Akito, pinning both of them for the win. With this victory MAO believes he is now the only person who can take the DDT Universal Title back from Suzuki. However Suzuki has now sworn to kill him at “WRESTLE PETER PAN 2025”!

Kazusada Higuchi is looking forward to defending the KO-D Openweight Title against Jun Akiyama. He sees it as his chance to get revenge for failing to take the title from Akiyama back in 2021. Akiyama said he may have lost today’s prelim match but he got to have a good look at Higuchi. They still have a few more weeks to go until the match so Akiyama hopes he and Higuchi will stay in good condition until then.

The DDT Extreme Title exists to be an avenue for wrestlers to be at their most creative. To-y is expecting Yuya Koroku to come up with an idea crazy enough to make their upcoming title bout exciting. Today Koroku tested his idea out by applying “I Am Koroku” rules (Kazuki Hirata came up with the name) to his tag match against To-y. The rule was a total pinfall count of 20 was needed to win the match alongside the other usual ways. However Koroku ended up winning the match by submission instead. To-y complained that the rules never said that but Koroku defended himself by explaining he never said pinfall was the only way to win. Since To-y is the champion he gets to pick the rules for the title match. He announced them on social media after the show. From now until the day of the show, he and Koroku will receive one life point for every social media post they make that reaches over 10,000 impressions. During the match itself every one count pinfall, rope break and getting thrown out of the ring will take away a Life Point until the loser is reduced to zero.

The first Right To Challenge Anytime, Anywhere prize was up for grabs. This year the prizes are represented with different color Arm Covers. However the first match featured wrestlers who were all hesitant to win for one reason or another. It turns out Danshoku Dieno, Super Sasadango Machine and Kazuki Hirata all do not want to deal with the pressure of holding the title shot that they could lose before cashing it in. Hisaya Imabayashi pleaded with them to take the match seriously so they did. Hirata won the match and couldn’t help but feel fired up over it. He now expects to get beaten up more than usual while building up anticipation for when he will cash in his KO-D Title shot. If he loses it before then he will only be disappointing everyone so he promised to keep it like it was part of his costume.

DDT began the show with a 10 bell salute dedicated to the late Tomohiko Hashimoto. He passed away at 47 years old from liver cancer on 5th August.

After DAMNATION T.A attacked The Apex and challenged them for the KO-D Tag Team Titles, they quickly had the reverse happen to them. Yuki Iino found them backstage and demanded a shot at the KO-D 6-Man Tag Team Titles. It was refused at first because Iino & Yukio Naya were without a third man but they quickly got Kazuma Sumi to join them and convince him he’s a heavyweight like they are.

BAKA GAIJIN + FRIENDS “MNL”, 22/08/2025
The Social House, Makati, Philippines

DDT “WRESTLE PETER PAN 2025 – DAY 1”, 30/08/2025
Tokyo Higashin Arena Main Arena

1. Hinata Kasai Debut Match: HARASHIMA Vs Hinata Kasai
2. Soma Takao & Rukiya Vs Shinichiro Kawamatsu & Yuki Ishida
3. 3 Way Match: Danshoku Dieno Vs Kazuki Hirata Vs Antonio Honda
4. Special 6-Man Tag Match: Yuki Ueno, Shinya Aoki & Kazuma Sumi Vs MAO, KANON & Kumadori (w/ KIMIHIRO)

9. DDT Extreme Title: To-y (c) Vs Yuya Koroku
10. KO-D Openweight Title: Kazusada Higuchi (c) Vs Jun Akiyama

The full cards for both days of “WRESTLE PETER PAN 2025” have been revealed. As already mentioned, Daisuke Sasaki & Hideki Okatani want to take the KO-D Tag Titles from The Apex. They believe the current champs are undeserving of the belts. DAMNATION T.A are also bringing back Haruto Sakuraba for his next DDT appearance. Kumadori is also back from injury but his match has nothing to do with Ilusion so I guess we’re just moving on from that little feud for the time being.

The other big match of note in my mind is Hinata Kasai’s debut match. HARASHIMA has been chosen to be his first opponent. The kid is going to eat a Somato sooner or later so may as well get him use to it from the beginning.

DDT “WRESTLE PETER PAN 2025 – DAY 2”, 31/08/2025
Tokyo Korakuen Hall

1. Loser Of 30/08 KO-D Title Match, Super Sasadango Machine & Akito Vs KANON, Kazuki Hirata & Antonio Honda (w/ KIMIHIRO)

3. Special 3-Way Tag Match: Daisuke Sasaki & Hideki Okatani Vs Chris Brookes & Takeshi Masada Vs Naomi Yoshimura & Yuki Ishida
4. Special Tag Match: Yuki Iino & Yukio Naya Vs HARASHIMA & Shinya Aoki
5. Dramatic Dream Match: Hiroshi Tanahashi Vs Danshoku Dieno
6. DDT Universal Title: Minoru Suzuki (c) Vs MAO
7. KO-D Openweight Title: Kazusada Higuchi (c) or Jun Akiyama Vs Yuki Ueno

The next day is kind of hampered by being unable to react to many consequences that might come from the first show. The loser of the KO-D Openweight Title match will be pushed back to the opener. Matches #3 and #4 have the possibility of turning into a KO-D Tag Title match depending on who wins on the previous day. D GENERATIONS are also being given the spotlight for a big 8-Man Tag.

Injuries to both Yukio Naya and Yuni have pulled them off this weekend’s matches. One of the changes to the card is now Ilusion looking for revenge on Tomomitsu Matsunaga for pinning him at yesterday’s Beer Garden show.

DDT “ROJO PRO WRESTLING IN HANDMADE IN JAPAN FES 2025”, 20/07/2025
Tokyo Big Sight HandMade In Japan Fes 2025 Music & Play Area

1. Falls Count Anywhere 3 Way Tag Match: To-y & Takeshi Masada Vs KANON & Yuki Ishida Vs Daichi Sato & Kazuma Sumi

The injuries also changes the Falls Count Anywhere match at HandMade In Japan Fes this Sunday. Pokotan had been pulled out of the match along with Naya and Yuni in order to even the numbers between the three teams. Maybe Pokotan will show up anyway.

DDT “SANKO MANUFACTURING CO., LTD. OME PRESENTS HARASHIMA RETURNS HOME! ~WE’RE HOLDING A SHOW IN OME! WHY? BECAUSE IT’S MY HOMETOWN!~”, 27/07/2025

The expectation is for Naya to have recovered from his neck injury in time to be ready for the KO-D Tag Team Titles match.

Ilusion replaces Yuni as Kazuma Sumi’s opponent. MJ Paul takes Ilusion’s spot in the DAMNATION T.A match.

Other than the main event, the match order has not been determined yet.

DDT “BATTLE OF HAMAMATSU”, 02/08/2025
Shizuoka Act City Hamamatsu

1. 3 Way Match: Danshoku Dieno Vs Akito Vs Yuya Koroku
2. Special Tag Match: Yuki Iino & Antonio Honda Vs Hideki “Shrek” Sekine & Kazuki Hirata
3. Special 6-Man Tag Match: Kazusada Higuchi, Yukio Naya & Yuki Ishida Vs Yuki Ueno, To-y & Shinya Aoki

Thankfully for Kazuki Hirata the next time he steps into the ring with Hideki Sekine they will be tag partners, not opponents.

DDT “YOKOHAMERMAID”, 09/08/2025
Yokohama Radiant Hall

1. Right To Challenge Anytime, Anywhere 3 Way Match: Danshoku Dieno Vs Super Sasadango Machine Vs Kazuki Hirata
2. Special Tag Match: Kazusada Higuchi & Yuki Ishida Vs Jun Akiyama & Tomomitsu Matsunaga
3. Special Tag Match: Minoru Suzuki & Akito Vs MAO & KANON (w/ KIMIHIRO)

The first of four Right To Challenge Anytime, Anywhere prizes is on the line. Every one this time around gives the holder a KO-D Openweight Title shot whenever they want on a DDT show. But if they get directly beaten before cashing it they have to transfer the prize over to the wrestler who beat them. Danshoku Dieno, Super Sasadango Machine and Kazuki Hirata will fight for the first prize.

DDT “SENDAI NEW LEGEND 2025 ~GYUTAN~”, 10/08/2025
Miyagi Yume Messe Miyagi

1. Danshoku Dieno & Akito Vs Kazuki Hirata & Gorgeous Matsuno

3. MAO 10th Anniversary Match Vol. 1 ~ Special Tag Match: MAO & KANON (w/ KIMIHIRO) Vs Yuki Ueno & To-y

A celebration for a whole decade of MAO begins in his hometown of Miyagi.

The next day will have the second Right To Challenge prize up for grabs between the D GENERATIONS wrestlers. Ilusion, Takeshi Masada, Yuya Koroku and Kazuma Sumi will all be competing for it.

DDT “WRESTLE PETER PAN 2025 – DAY 1”, 30/08/2025
Tokyo Higashin Arena Main Arena

1. Hinata Kasai Debut Match: Hinata Kasai Vs X
2. DDT Extreme Title: To-y (c) Vs Yuya Koroku
3. Muscle Sakai 15th Anniversary Of Retirement Match ~ Special Single Match: Minoru Suzuki Vs Muscle Sakai
4. Dramatic Dream Tag Match: Zack Sabre Jr. & Kosei Fujita Vs Chris Brookes & Takeshi Masada
5. KO-D Openweight Title: Kazusada Higuchi (c) Vs Jun Akiyama

To-y becoming the first D GENERATIONS wrestler to win the DDT Extreme Title ended up making Yuya Koroku feeling jealous of him. However he still went out to help To-y defend the title against Hikaru Sato. Out of the goodness of his heart (and so he wouldn’t have to give him money) To-y offered Koroku a chance to challenge him for the title.

DDT “WRESTLE PETER PAN 2025 – DAY 2”, 31/08/2025
Tokyo Korakuen Hall

1. DDT Universal Title: Minoru Suzuki (c) Vs MAO
2. KO-D Openweight Title: Kazusada Higuchi (c) Vs Yuki Ueno
3. Dramatic Dream Match: Hiroshi Tanahashi Vs Danshoku Dieno

The winner of Kazusada Higuchi Vs Jun Akiyama on Day 1 will then defend the KO-D Title against Yuki Ueno on Day 2. Ueno won yesterday’s Battle Royal to get this shot. But things could get thrown into chaos because of the potential Right To Challenge cash ins.
