May 20, 2026

DDT “D GENERATIONS 9”, 20/05/2026
Tokyo Ueno Park Outdoor Stage
??? Fans – Unannounced

1. Ali Najima defeated Hinata Kasai with the Victor-Style Kneebar (7:29).
2. Yuya Koroku & Yuki Ishida defeated Hideki Okatani & Ilusion when Ishida pinned Ilusion with the Flame Palm (11:58).
3. Munetatsu Nakamura defeated Rukiya with the Mune-chan Clutch (8:39).
4. Takeshi Masada Produce Match – No Throwing Moves Match: Takeshi Masada Vs To-y ended in a Double Disqualification after a Double Brainbuster to the Referee (10:51).
5. Special Single Match: Kazuma Sumi defeated Yuni with the School Boy (11:12).

Since NωA Jr. are soon going to be challenging for the KO-D 6-Man Tag Team Titles, the main event of today’s D GENERATIONS show was the showdown between Kazuma Sumi and Yuni. Sumi kicked out of a Moonsault so Yuni then went for the Phoenix Splash but had to land on his feet when Sumi rolled out of the way. Sumi tried to hit the Mickey Boomerang (MIKAMI’s original version of the move that everyone now knows as the 619) but Yuni dodged that and locked in a Jorge Clutch for a nearfall. Sumi eventually found a crack in Yuni’s defence to give him a High Kick to the head and then roll him into the School Boy for the victory. After the match Sumi asked Yuni if he really thinks that NωA Jr. can win the KO-D 6-Man Tag Titles at the end of this month? Yuni said that if he didn’t think the could win it, he would have never made the challenge in the first place! He admits to being the weak link of the unit right now but promised he will catch up to Sumi & Shunma Katsumata so they can all win the titles together on 31st May!

The match between Takeshi Masada and To-y had special rules implemented by the former. Masada wanted the match to prohibit all forms of throwing or slamming moves so he and To-y could only attack each other using strikes or submission holds. The rule meant neither Masada nor To-y could use their usual finishing moves. To-y ended up breaking the rule and in a panic knocked out Yukinori Matsui before he could disqualify him. With the referee down, Masada and To-y started using all of the throwing moves they could think of on each other. Yuya Koroku tried to interfere on Masada’s behalf but he was taken out with the Kojima Wonderland. Masada and To-y then got into a stalemate trying to Suplex each other. A groggy Matsui pulled himself back up only to get grabbed by both wrestlers so he could be Suplexed instead! Matsui was still conscious enough after the bump to disqualify both wrestlers for giving him a throwing move together.

During the show closing speech Sumi revealed that the original main event planned for today was going to be the singles match between Masami Inahata and Rukiya. He sent a message out to the injured Inahata, telling him to hang in there and keep on fighting but also to take his time coming back to the ring. Everyone in D GENERATIONS will be waiting for him. Rukiya instead fought Munetatsu Nakamura in the midcard, losing to the guest from Ganbare☆Pro.

A misfire from Hideki Okatani led to him giving the Skewered Claymore to Ilusion by accident. That allowed Yuki Ishida to finish Ilusion off with the Leg Scoop Suplex followed by the Flame Palm.

8. Special 6-Man Tag Match ~STARTING NOW!~: Kazuma Sumi, Takeshi Masada & Yuya Koroku defeated To-y, Yuki Ishida & Rukiya when Masada pinned Rukiya with the Masada No Chikara KOBU Mukimuki (9:43).
9. Double Main Event I – Shosho Kogyo Presents Special Tag Match ~ Infinite Stimulation Anniversary: Zack Sabre Jr. & Chris Brookes defeated HARASHIMA & Shinya Aoki when Brookes pinned HARASHIMA with a Modified Samson Clutch (16:44).
10. Double Main Event II – Special Tag Match ~ A Ruthless Giant That Blocks The World Guide Us To Our Dreams Blooming Flower: KONOSUKE TAKESHITA & Yuki Ueno defeated Jun Akiyama & Shuji Ishikawa when Takeshita pinned Ishikawa with the Raging Fire (22:29).

For the second year in a row, Yukinori Matsui’s annual Osaka show was headlined by Konosuke Takeshita & Yuki Ueno teaming up together. This time around they took on a more honorable set of opponents, Jun Akiyama & Shuji Ishikawa. Although as soon as Takeshita and Ishikawa face off to start the match, Ishikawa quickly knocked down his opponent with a big Elbow Strike. He also gave Ueno a Giant Swing outside the ring throwing his into the front row of abandoned chairs. Akiyama also wrestled more aggressively but Takeshita launched a comeback that included giving Ishikawa a Superplex. He combined the Jumping Knee with Ueno’s Dropkick to knock over Ishikawa and then Ueno did a Moonsault onto Akiyama outside the ring. Ishikawa was able to kick out of the Wagamama but Takeshita lifted him up for the Raging Fire and dropped him back down to get the win. Both Takeshita & Ueno showed their gratitude to Matsui after the match.

The other big match for the show involved Zack Sabre Jr. & Chris Brookes teaming up again as SchadenTekkers (with matching purple gear between them) to take on HARASHIMA & Shinya Aoki. It would be the first time Sabre and Aoki got to wrestle each other. That confrontation was not enough to determine who was beter. Instead Brookes got the result by pinning HARASHIMA with a Samson Clutch. Aoki wished he could have gotten to fight Sabre for a little longer. Sabre suggested they have a singles match together the next time they meet. He also called Aoki one of the best submission wrestlers he has ever fought.

A ringside chairshot from Dick Togo stunned Shunma Katsumata and left him vulnerable to Hideki Okatani to finish him off.

KANON was made into the target of everyone’s comedy in Match #6. That meant he was the one tricked to hop in the air while nobody else joined him. MAO and KIMIHIRO then got into dueling Figure 4 Leg Locks with Kuishinbo Kamen & Kikutaro, leaving KANON out in the cold. When the four of them all got caught in the holds, KANON simply rolled them all over so he could put both Kamen & Kikutaro in a Camel Clutch. He got both of them to then give up. He doesn’t understand why he had to go through that in Osaka today but he admitted it was fun.

Kyoto indie wrestler Hiroaki Taniguchi came in as a substitute for the injured Masami Inahata in Match #5.

The mixed rules fight between Bushimasa and Tyson Maeguchi was a two round contest. The first round was MMA rules that lasted for three minutes. Then the second round was Tyre Boxing Rules where a tyre was placed in the middle of the ring and they had to fight while keeping one foot each inside the tyre hole. Maeguchi punched Bushimasa out of the tyre three times to earn a TKO style victory.

Ilusion had something of a trial by fire in his match. He often got himself isolated away from Magnitude Kishiwada & MJ Paul then had to find ways to get to safety. However he successfully Low Blowed both CIMA & Akito while Kishiwada took care of Yasu Urano. Ilusion then got the last laugh by getting the pin with the Swanton Bomb.

The 4 Vs 1 Handicap match had to be restarted because Hisaya Imabayashi wasn’t happy to see Yuto Kikuchi win it so easily. Kikuchi ended up giving him a Low Blow late in the rematch before winning again the second time.

It was a packed house for the show but that caused a little bit of a problem. While Sanshiro Takagi was giving the show opening speech, Keiko Takeshita (Konosuke’s mom) was seen walking around the venue looking for her seat. Takagi and Imabayashi invited her into the ring to say hello to the fans but she ended up attacking them with chops to the chest instead. Matsui tried to stop her because she was ruining the start of his show again just like last year. She gave him the Rainmaker and finished off the opening call by herself.

DDT “HELLO☆DRAMATIC DREAMS FESTIVAL 2026” Results

May 16, 2026

DDT “HELLO☆DRAMATIC DREAMS FESTIVAL 2026”, 16/05/2026
Yokohama Radiant Hall
??? Fans – Unannounced

1. Special 6-Man Tag Match: Kazuma Sumi, Daichi Sato & Akito defeated Naomi Yoshimura, Yukio Naya & Miles Karu when Sumi pinned Karu with the School Boy (9:27).
2. Takeshi Masada, Yuya Koroku & Yuni defeated Chris Brookes, Antonio Honda & Hinata Kasai when Koroku submitted Kasai with a Flying Armbar (10:31).
3. Jun Akiyama & Junta Miyawaki defeated Yuki Ishida & Rukiya when Miyawaki submitted Rukiya with the Cattle Mutilation (11:12).
4. Special Single Match: HARASHIMA defeated Viento Maligno with the Somato (11:12).
5. The 37KAMIINA Vs DAMNATION T.A!: Yuki Ueno, Shunma Katsumata & To-y defeated Hideki Okatani, MJ Paul & Ilusion when To-y pinned Ilusion with the Kojima Impact (12:42).
6. Special Tag Match: Danshoku Dieno & Kazuki Hirata defeated MAO & KANON (w/ KIMIHIRO) when Dieno pinned MAO with the Gaydo Clutch (21:21).

As far as Danshoku Dieno is concerned, it is up to him and MAO to make sure the winner of King Of DDT this year is a full blown DDT wrestler and not an outsider like Minoru Suzuki or Shinya Aoki. MAO and Kazuki Hirata spend the main event fighting each other in a Stand Battle with Yukinori Matsui wearing special glasses that allowed him to see what was going on. Dieno and KANON joined in until Dieno used his Stand powers to pin MAO with the Gaydo Clutch. After the match Dieno told MAO that this is what DDT is all about. He has a dream for DDT and he believes MAO has that same dream, so when they face off in the tournament semi final they will mean everything from the bottom of their hearts. MAO said he is committed to fight for DDT but unlike two years ago, he has to take his own path if he wants to fight Yuki Ueno for the KO-D Openweight Title again.

It was a case of partners today, opponents tomorrow for Match #2. After his team won the match Yuni called Takeshi Masada & Yuya Koroku back into the ring but struggled to tell them what he wanted to say. Shunma Katsumata went out and told Yuni he has to learn how to properly convey his feelings. Yuni then said he wants to challenge paleyouth for the KO-D 6-Man Tag Team Titles. He was rejected by Koroku and was called a timid little brat who did nothing in the ring today while Masada & Koroku did all the work to get the win. Both Katsumata and Masada criticised Koroku for being harsh towards Yuni because he was only trying to do his best. Yuni then pressed Koroku into accepting the challenge and the title match will go ahead on 31st May. NωA Jr. briefly held the belts last year but the reign only lasted a month with no successful defences. Yuni explained he wants to win the titles again so NωA Jr. can do everything they didn’t get to do the first time around. Kazuma Sumi wants to take part because paleyouth are all from D GENERATIONS like he and Yuni both are and he wants to crush them!

10. Double Main Event II – Special Tag Match ~ A Ruthless Giant That Blocks The World Guide Us To Our Dreams Blooming Flower: KONOSUKE TAKESHITA & Yuki Ueno Vs Jun Akiyama & Shuji Ishikawa

Two more matches are added to Yukinori Matsui’s special show. They do normally tend to balloon out to this size.

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “STAND ALONE ’26”, 07/06/2026
Tokyo Korakuen Hall

1. Princess Tag Team Titles: Miu Watanabe & Rika Tatsumi (c) Vs Mizuki & Uta Takami
2. Princess Of Princess Title: Yuki Arai (c) Vs Yuki Kamifuku

It’s taken almost nine years for Yuki Kamifuku to challenge for the Princess Of Princess Title. It’s not because of a lack of merit or anything like that. She just doesn’t like taking part in important singles matches or cares that much about winning championships. But she’s not getting any younger and discovering her first signs of aging has kicked Kamifuku into finally fighting Yuki Arai for Tokyo Joshi Pro’s most important title. After all, winning wrestling championships is the greatest anti-aging technique you can find.

Daydream once again hold the Princess Tag Team Titles. Their first challengers are going to be the losing finalists from this year’s Max Heart Tournament. When Rika Tatsumi discovered that Mizuki found a new tag partner in Uta Takami, she wasn’t happy about it. She thinks beating them can bring that team to an end so she can keep Mizuki all to herself. Mizuki however wants to live in the present and continue her team with Takami. Maybe if they win the titles they can get an official tag team name. Miu Watanabe probably doesn’t have much of an opinion on the matter.

DDT/NJPW “ONE-ON-ONE CONFRONTATION PART 2 ~SASADANGO-GUN VS YANO-GUN 5-ON-5 ELIMINATION TAG BATTLE~”, 08/06/2025
Tokyo Korakuen Hall

1. Sasadango-gun Vs Yano-gun: X Vs X
2. Sasadango-gun Vs Yano-gun: X Vs X
3. Sasadango-gun Vs Yano-gun: X Vs X
4. Sasadango-gun Vs Yano-gun: X Vs X
5. Sasadango-gun Vs Yano-gun: X Vs X

Sasadango-gun: Super Sasadango Machine, MAO, Kazuki Hirata

Yano-gun: Toru Yano, El Desperado, Ryusuke Taguchi

Both Kazuki Hirata and Ryusuke Taguchi have been drafted into the DDT Vs New Japan battle. Super Sasadango Machine is trying to recruit Danshoku Dieno for the show but Dieno keeps turning him down in order to focus on his King Of DDT run.

Now here’s an interesting thought. Konosuke Takeshita over the weekend decided to join the Hontai unit in NJPW. Since Sasadango is under the assumption that Toru Yano is only going to pick wrestlers from Hontai, does that mean there’s a possibility of Takeshita joining Yano’s team?

DDT “SAPPORO GOLDEN BATTLE 2026” Results

May 2, 2026

DDT “SAPPORO GOLDEN BATTLE 2026”, 02/05/2026
Hokkaido Sapporo Sun Plaza

2. Reverse Lumberjack ~Jackberlum Match~: Danshoku Dieno defeated Kazuki Hirata and Akito by a 5-Count Double Countout (7:42).

4. Special 6-Man Tag Match: Jun Akiyama, Takeshi Masada & Kumadori defeated Daisuke Sasaki, Hideki Okatani & MJ Paul when Akiyama submitted Paul with the Front Neck Lock (11:38).
5. Sapporo Studio Five Presents Special 6-Man Tag Match ~ Art Is A Battle! Rules: Yuki Ueno, Shunma Katsumata & To-y defeated Chris Brookes, HARASHIMA & Antonio Honda when To-y pinned Honda with the Kojima Impact (15:01).
6. KO-D 6-Man Tag Team Titles: Takeshi Masada, Yuya Koroku & Daichi Sato (c) defeated MAO, KANON & Viento Maligno (w/ KIMIHIRO) when Masada pinned Maligno with the Masada No Chikara KOBU Mukimuki (22:49).
*V3 for paleyouth.

A big mental block was placed on Yuya Koroku by Strange Love Connection before the KO-D 6-Man Tag Team Titles match began. KIMIHIRO taunted Koroku with a rap and then encouraged him to respond in kind. Koroku couldn’t do it though and was left shaken by this mental block. KIMIHIRO tried to do it again but Takeshi Masada got him to shut up and paleyouth attacked SLC to start the match. The champions retained the belts when Masada pinned Viento Maligno to win. KIMIHIRO then handed over the microphone to Koroku afterwards to make a victory speech. Masada told Koroku the meaning of this was significant so he can’t just do a regular speech. Koroku agreed and was able to give everyone a “Yuya Rap” instead.

The semi-main event was sponsored by Sapporo Studio Five, a photography studio so the match had a special rule where pinfalls and submissions only counted if the poses looked highly artistic. Saki Akai often works with the studio so she was involved in the match as a special guest commentator speaking over a live microphone at ringside. Despite being retired for two and a half years, she was drawn to get back into the ring gradually rediscovered her wrestling abilities. She blocked Antonio Honda’s Gongitsune attack and redirected it towards Chris Brookes. That cause Brookes to attack Akai in retaliation but she avoided the Praying Mantis Bomb and even gave Brookes the Quetzalcoatl! To-y went on to beat Honda and his prize was a free photoshoot at Sapporo Studio Five the next time he visits the area. Both Yuki Ueno & Shunma Katsumata were jealous and wanted the prize for themselves. To-y wouldn’t give it to them but he did reveal that DDT’s next shows in Sapporo are on 11th and 12th October.

Match #2 was turned into a Reverse Lumberjack match, or a Jackberlum match if you will. The wrestlers had to start fighting outside the ring and whenever there are at least two of them in the ring, the referee would start a 5 Count and disqualify whoever is still in the ring when he reaches five. A ref bump prevented Kazuki Hirata from winning the match while he and Akito were in the ring. Danshoku Dieno grabbed Hirata from the ring apron and gave him the Lip Lock. Akito then stumbled into Hirata in the middle of the ring to inadvertedly give him the Lip Lock too, knocking both of them out. Yukinori Matsui then counted out Akito and Hirata while Dieno stood out on the ring apron celebrating his victory.

Their opponents are two heavyweights that Matsui decided should team together, Jun Akiyama & Shuji Ishikawa! Matsui tends to have “Double Main Events” on his shows and this year will continue that trend.

For example, Fumirin will be reading the pre-show announcements to everyone while speaking in a Kansai accent. There is also a secret musical segment scheduled for somewhere on the show.

Tokyo Ueno Park Outdoor Stage

1. Special Single Match: Pero Pero Oyakata Vs Da Pump Matsumoto
2. Special Tag Match: Yuji Nagata & CIMA Vs Sanshiro Takagi & Poison Sawada JULIE

The future of Super Japan is safe after its fans judged in favour of these shows continuing for the time being. Sanshiro Takagi is continuing to think up of alternate universe ideas regarding the early years of DDT. The latest is he now wants to team up with Poison Sawada JULIE after they’ve been enemies for years, decades even. Yuji Nagata is sticking around as the Super Japan ace and is even donating an event booking he had in his pocket to let this show take place in the same venue. He will team up with CIMA, forming “WCW’s Strongest Tag Team” for the occasion. Now that sounds like a WCW… Deep… Cut… in the making.

The newest match announced is straight out of N●tflix. It is the “Re●l American” Pero Pero Oyakata against “The Queen Of V●llains” Da Pump Matsumoto!

Yano-gun: Toru Yano, El Desperado

Both Super Sasadango Machine and Toru Yano have chosen the first members of their teams. Sasadango has picked MAO from DDT while Yano is taking El Desperado from New Japan. Sasadango believes he has the advantage because he does not belong to any specific group in DDT. He’s under the impression that Yano will only choose wrestlers from New Japan’s Hontai unit.

DDT “NO SPOILERS EVENT VOL. 4 IN UENO” Results

April 1, 2026

4a. No DQ & No Tag Rules: Danshoku Dieno & Hinata Kasai defeated Kazuki Hirata & To-y when Dieno submitted To-y with his Hell Gate (8:37).
5. Special 3-Way Tag Match ~ Best Friends (Mav) Superior: MAO & KANON (w/ KIMIHIRO) Vs Yuki Ueno & Shunma Katsumata Vs Chris Brookes & HARASHIMA ended in a No Contest (10:42).
5a. 4 Way Tag Match: Yuki Ueno & Shunma Katsumata, MAO & KANON (w/ KIMIHIRO), Chris Brookes & HARASHIMA and Bad Buddy Yuni & Pito Chico Sumi when Katsumata pinned Yuni with the I Love You Splash (9:23).

No spoilers or talk about what happened on this April Fool’s Day show was allowed until the clock struck midnight. So for those who weren’t at the show, they had to wait until the next day to hear about Kazuma Sumi & Yuni all of a sudden showing their rebel sides. The show was meant to begin with a performance by NωA Jr. but it was cut off when Sumi & Yuni attacked Shunma Katsumata out of nowhere! The two of them told everyone they didn’t want to be idols anymore and they stormed out of the ring. They reappeared for their match dressed in rebellious clothing with new ring names to boot. They were now Bad Buddy Yuni & Pito Chico Sumi! Their tag match ended in Disqualification after they attacked their opponents with chairs and squeaky toy hammers.

They then reappeared in the 3 Way Tag main event because the theme of the match was every tag team were dressed as some type of delinquent. Their interference caused the match to get thrown out because they attacked the referee and caused more chaos afterward. The match restarted with Yuni & Sumi added as a fourth team. Katsumata (who was dressed as a delinquent schoolgirl by the way) got his revenge on them by pinning Yuni for the victory. Yuki Ueno confessed his love for Katsumata after the match only to start a chain reaction of all the others doing the same. Katsumata turned all of them down for Yuni and the two embraced. However Sumi suddenly got jealous and he tried to stab Yuni with an umbrella. He missed though and stabbed Katsumata instead by accident! Katsumata wished the two of them to be happy together and then died. Everyone sang a song to revive him and the show ended with everyone safe and sound. That was until Ueno approached Katsumata backstage and stabbed him with the umbrella. Sumi & Yuni revived him again and the three all agreed they should go back to being idols.

Both Kazuki Hirata & To-y had something planned for the show with their only clue being it would resemble a party gathering together underneath the blooming cherry blossoms. They ended up interfering in Match #3 to cost Hinata Kasai a victory against Danshoku Dieno. In that match whenever Dieno gave someone the Lip Lock, the victim would reveal they are wearing Danshoku tights beneath their clothes. It happened to KANON and Yukinori Matsui, turning the two of them into Danshoku zombies. That story was thrown out thanks to Hirata & To-y so it turned into a No DQ tag match where the two of them attacked Dieno, Kasai and the wrestlers standing near ringside with umbrellas and coathangers. However Kasai rallied the other wrestlers to grab To-y and carry him face first into Dieno’s Hell Gate until he gave up. The Lip Lock storyline continued with the victims turning back to normal after bumping heads with each other. It ended when Dieno finally got to give Kasai the Lip Lock.

A dejected Daisuke Sasaki has left Japan to go on tour across North America. He claims he will not return unless he falls in love and gets rejected but it was recently announced that New Japan has booked him for this year’s Best Of The Super Jr. tournament. Either way that leaves DAMNATION T.A currently without their leader. This has somehow led to an army of Fake Daisuke Sasakis appearing on today’s show along with a Nerima Sting. Also MJ Paul turned into Posuke Sasaki. During the match Ilusion would disappear only to return as Daision Sasaki to get the hot tag and win the match for his team. He said that from today onwards he is the new leader of DAMNATION T.A! Later at the end of the show, Sanshiro Takagi appeared also dressed like Daisuke Sasaki. He tried to attack Daision but was given a Low Blow instead. Takagi and Ilusion have a dark match coming up on 15th April and Ilusion keeps ambushing him with Low Blows to build up the match.
