1. Ken Ohka & Shota Kawakami defeated Takeru Inoue & Yasu Urano when Ohka pinned Inoue with the Flame Spear (11:35).
2. SAGAT, Minoru Fujita & Lil’ Kraken defeated Gouma Ryu, Tsutomu Oosugi & Banana Senga when Kraken pinned Ryu with the Hurricane Driver (9:13).
3. Grace Project Sponsored Match: Toru Sugiura, Tomoya Hirata & Captain Grace defeated Isami Kodaka, Daichi Kazato & Daiki Shimomura when Hirata pinned Kazato with the Tower Hacker Bomb (9:24).
4. Hardcore Tag Match: Takumi Tsukamoto & Masashi Takeda defeated Ryuichi Sekine & FUMA when Tsukamoto pinned Sekine with the Zudon onto the Chairs (13:26).
5. Iron Fist Tag Team Titles: Kengo Mashimo & Ayumu Honda (c) defeated Takato Nakano & Masato Kamino when Honda submitted Nakano with an Arm Bar (15:37).
*V2 for MJ2.
6. Union MAX Title: Ryota Nakatsu (c) defeated Trans-Am ★ Hiroshi with the V Slider (15:42).
*V4 for Ryota Nakatsu.

The big move Trans-Am ★ Hiroshi kept trying to use in the Union MAX Title bout was the Perfect Plex. It took him several attempts to pull it off against Ryota Nakatsu but when it finally hit it wasn’t enough to pin the champion. Nakatsu brought in a counter attack that took Hiroshi’s energy away. But rather than finish him immediately, Nakatsu gave Hiroshi one last chance to fight back. Hiroshi hit him with a Knuckle Punch but had nothing left to give so Nakatsu gave him the V Slider and pinned him for three. Nakatsu praised Hiroshi for his passion and leaving his feelings all out in the ring. When he started to talk about his next title defence, Ken Ohka entered the ring chanting the number “4642” over and over. Ohka told Nakatsu that number is how many days its been since he left Union Pro Wrestling back on 13th February, 2013! Not a day has gone by without Ohka remembering Union Pro and the only thing left around that represents it is the Union MAX Title. As a Union original that belt has Ohka’s name on it which means he deserves to have it! Nakatsu accepted his challenge for 18th November.

The Iron Fist Tag Team Titles remain with MJ2 after Kengo Mashimo & Ayumu Honda defeated Aijin Tag. Mashimo and Masato Kamino took each other out so the finish came down to Honda against Takato Nakano. Honda countered a roll up into an Arm Bar and increased the pressure by clutching onto Nakano’s leg. Nakano wouldn’t give up but the referee had to stop the match in MJ2’s favour. After the match Kyu Mogami spoke on behalf of his stablemates and said the next Iron Fist Tag Titles defence will happen at a 2AW show in Yokohama Radiant Hall on 15th November. Daiki Shimomura & Lil’ Kraken ended up confronting MJ2 backstage later to challenge them at that show.

Gouma Ryu will be taking a break from wrestling for a few months to focus on other priorities in his career. Today was his last match in BASARA for the time being until he returns.

10. KO-D Openweight Title & DDT Universal Title: Yuki Ueno (K/c) Vs Minoru Suzuki (U/c)

There was a press conference held in Tokyo today where wrestlers from the three title matches all gave comments and interacted with their opponents. Minoru Suzuki told reporters that he feels like he is finally reaching the pinnacle of DDT and wants to enjoy the experience because it feels like a new beginning for him. Yuki Ueno said the strongest wrestlers in the world are those who live their lives the way they want and Suzuki does that the most. Ueno wants to live freely like he does and believes taking the DDT Universal Title from him while also protecting the KO-D Openweight Title will help him move towards his goal. But after their interviews were over, the two had a staredown and Suzuki attacked Ueno with a chair! He targeted Ueno’s leg and grabbed the limb in a Heel Hold until the two were pulled apart from each other.

A scheduling conflict meant Team 200kg could not attend the press conference but they sent a message to be read out to the other wrestlers in the KO-D Tag Team Titles 3 Way Match. Chihiro Hashimoto wants Yuki Iino to remember all of the times she Suplexed him around the ring while Yuu warns Yukio Naya that she will come flying out of the sky and flatten him! Iino lost his temper and wanted to go searching for Hashimoto until the others all calmed him down. KANON said he and MAO haven’t won the tag titles together yet so he wants to get the belts and raise the status of Strange Love Connection. MAO also talked about how much KANON has grown ever since he was kicked out of DAMNATION T.A. MAO also wants the match to be so intense it will destroy the ring and make things difficult for everyone wrestling after them. He isn’t trying to destroy Sumo Hall itself though, just cause enough mayhem to beat The Apex and Team 200kg.

During his DDT Extreme Title reign To-y has been establishing himself as a gambler so he wanted to gamble the right to choose the match stipulation with his four opponents. They all played a game of Chinchiro and Super Sasadango Machine ended up being the winner. He decided to pick a stipulation that will remove everyone’s eyesight so the 5 Way will now be a Blindfold Death Match! He explained how important eyesight is for wrestlers and how if you take that away, all of their training will go to waste. Sasadango however never trains so wrestling blind isn’t going to make a difference to him as far as he’s concerned. Everyone else though will be dragged down to his level. Akito said the match will prove who truly deserves the Extreme Title the most. Kazuki Hirata doesn’t mind because he still gets to bully To-y and possibly be rewarded for it. Antonio Honda is excited because he has the most experience out of all of them when it comes to wrestling blindfolded and has the advantage of being a pioneer with the gimmick. To-y believes even when blind he sees everything with his heart so he is going to show the old timers what a modern Extreme Champion is like!

So it turns out Danshoku Dieno isn’t ready yet to return to the ring. After he got surgery for acute appendicitis, he ended up developing an intra-abdominal abscess that will take some time for him to recover from. His match with Daisuke Sasaki has been cancelled and DDT went to find a new opponent for Sasaki. They went with AMAKUSA from NOAH, which is a fitting decision because he and Sasaki were each other’s opponents in their debut match just a little over 20 years ago! The wrestler once known as Yuki Sato went through a couple of reinventions over the years before becoming the Jr. Heavyweight missionary you see in NOAH today. He has no memory of his time spent with Sasaki back in SUPER CREW so it will be like they are facing each other for the very first time all over again.

Some of the tricks and treats you get for Halloween don’t always turn the way you want them to. Baka Gaijin + Friends brought in a former champion to challenge Mr. Malo for the BK-G Openweight Title. That former champion is Kazuki Hirata and any high hopes for him to dethrone the champion immediately fell apart. Malo easily distracted him, gave him a Low Blow and rolled him up with a School Boy to win in seconds. MAO then confronted Hirata after the match and complained to him in a manner like Hisaya Imabayashi, causing the match to be restarted. Malo distracted Hirata again, gave him another Low Blow and pinned him with another School Boy. Takayuki Ueki (who worked the show as the ring announcer and was dressed as Reze from Chainsaw Man) then did the complaining and the match restarted again. Same thing still happened. Mr. HAKU couldn’t help but shout from the camera spot and complain to Hirata for losing like this. Another restart happened but the same thing happened once more. Now Chie Koishikawa joined in the complaining and got another restart. Malo didn’t even need to distract Hirata this time, he just did a Low Blow and pinned him. Chris Brookes stormed out to yell at Hirata in both English and Japanese before granting one more restart. The same thing still happened but this time Brookes broke the pin and everyone ganged up on Malo. Hirata blew his spot though and Malo went back on the attack, going as far as to destroy the Hirata GO glasses. Suddenly Mr. Bueno appeared to cheer on Hirata and motivate him into making a comeback. He then pulled out an extra pair of Hirata GO glasses and placed them on Hirata to make him power up with his dance. His second wind was cut off when Malo handed him a small jack-o’-lantern filled with firecrackers, filling the room with sparks and small explosions coming from Hirata’s hands. Malo then rolled him up with a School Boy once more to win yet again.

More surprises were in store when an unadvertised Halloween Rumble took place after intermission. Munetatsu Nakamura set the stage for how weird it was going to get by entering the match dressed as a Labubu. Entrant #2 turned out to be Thai wrestler Jonathan Johnson acting like The Joker. MAO was the next entrant dressed as a large square wall. He gleefully stood in the way of the fans to block their view while being impervious to his opponents’ attacks. Kota Ibushikoshi entered dressed as a schoolgirl but MAO escaped from his own costume to pin him with a Running Knee Strike for the first elimination. Next entrant was Chie Koishikawa in a shark costume running around biting everyone. Sayaka dressed as Haku from Spirited Away calmed her down by offering her a rice ball. Koishikawa ate it and felt full enough to take a nap. Everyone else pushed MAO on top of her and then piled on for the pin. Things took a turn when Ram Kaichow ran into the room dressed as Chucky and stabbed Sayaka with a machete! That was enough for a three count and Sayaka was out. The final entrant then appeared. It was Antonio Honda as Pero Pero Oyakata, his tribute gimmick to Hulk Hogan. He ripped off his vest but felt so cold in the room that he wanted to quit. But first he wanted to tell a Gongitsune story and then poked everyone in their eyes. MAO tipped over and fell so he was easily pinned. Oyakata then used the Pero Pero Driver (set up like the Pedigree but he swivels his hips to snap his opponent’s neck) to eliminate Johnson and Nakamura. The match slowed down when he tried to use the move on Kaichow. She escaped and with an upward swing, struck Oyakata between the legs with her machete. That put him down for the count and Kaichow won the Rumble.

Mr. Bueno decided to wrestle his match wearing an inflated sumo wrestler costume for his match against Kota Sekifuda. He also decided his sumo name is Takatoriki Jr. (Takatoriki being Yukio Naya’s father). The two briefly fought their way out of the room. Bueno returned first and expected to win by countout but Sekifuda returned wearing his own inflated sumo costume! They wrestled sumo style until Bueno tried to climb onto the bar counter for a high flying attack. Except when he was ready to do it, Sekifuda pulled out a living snake from his costume! He used the snake to scare Bueno back down to the floor so he could wrap the snake around his neck. Bueno escaped and physically forced Sekifuda to hand the snake away to Daisuke Kiso. Sekifuda climbed onto some stools to do his own dive but Bueno acted like he had a snake of his own hidden in his costume. Sekifuda didn’t fall for it but Bueno still blocked his dive and used an Inside Cradle to get the win.

In the opening match Brookes was dressed like one of the Baseball Furies from The Warriors. His opponent K4PY was dressed in a schoolgirl outfit, a decision that led to a few wardrobe malfunctions as the match progressed. Brookes found a fan dressed like one of The Brahman Brothers and got them to do the rubber band spot from across the room. Brookes ended up winning by giving K4PY the Praying Mantis Bomb, almost damaging something from the ceiling in the process.

Shoko Nakajima returns from her tour of Mexico.

The era of Mahironman has come to a close. Now it is Rika Tatsumi who holds the Iron Man Heavymetalweight Title and her goal is to gift the championship to Natsume Nakayama, her favorite member of OCHA NORMA. She doesn’t want to fight anyone or go through any risk of losing the belt until then but she has to fight Pom Harajuku later this week, regardless of if she is the champion or not.

With the dust settled from the Next Generation Tournament, the winner Uta Takami has come out of it challenging Arisu Endo for the International Princess Title. Takami explained that the small wrestlers like Endo have become the most influential for her when it comes to the kind of wrestler she wants to become. On the other side, Endo is excited to fight the current version of Takami.

The team of HIMAWARI & Shino Suzuki had to repeat their new team name because everywhere got it slightly wrong yesterday. Their name is Bumping gRitters but they didn’t say it clear enough over the microphone so everyone, including the official social media pages thought it was Bumping gRittes without the ‘r’ at the end.

1. KUBITO defeated Sentaro Motoshima with the Crossface Lock (16:04).
2. Hayato Mashita & Tyson Maeguchi defeated Shingo & Shingo Aihara when Maeguchi pinned Aihara with the Ago Shitsurei Itashimasu (14:59).
3. NAOMI Presents: TAMURA☆GENE☆ (E2, P0, K2) defeated Cherry (E2, P0, K0) with a 15-Count Win (8:13).
4. Double Main Event I – FUMA 15th Anniversary Celebration Match: Super Tiger defeated FUMA with the Gayama (14:23).
5. Double Main Event II – MOGMARINE Presents Kotaro Nasu 15th Anniversary Celebration Match: Daichi Hashimoto defeated Kotaro Nasu with the Rising DDT (21:06).

Both Kotaro Nasu and FUMA are celebrating 15 years in pro wrestling this year so the two of them decided to work together for an anniversary show celebrating their respective careers. They tried their best to gather “classmates” from their generation alongside the seniors who looked after them to fill up the card. It led to a double main event where FUMA lost to Super Tiger while Nasu was pinned by Daichi Hashimoto.

The TAMURA☆GENE☆ versus Cherry match was held under HEAT-UP Senior rules given the age of the wrestlers involved. The first wrestler to score a 15-Count Pinfall wins the match but they could also lose the match by either using a rope break three times. Punching and kicking was also prohibited under punishment of getting a butt slap every time. If a wrestler broke that rule three times they would be disqualified.

5. Special Single Match: MAO (w/ KIMIHIRO) defeated Yuki Iino with a Gedo Clutch Bridge (12:38).
6. The 37KAMIINA Vs Harimao!: Yuki Ueno & To-y defeated Kazusada Higuchi & Yuki Ishida when Ueno pinned Ishida with the Jul.2 (19:19).

While Yuki Ueno is building up his own momentum for Sumo Hall, he took time after the main event to praise Yuki Ishida for the boost of energy in his performances since the most recent Korakuen Hall show. To-y said after a hard weekend it’s only The 37KAMIINA who are left standing. He told the audience if they are ever going through difficulty, they should tilt their head to the side and then scream. After that you’ll instantly feel refreshed and won’t care about anything!

The KO-D Tag Team Titles preview continued with the other halves of The Apex and Strange Love Connection facing each other one on one. MAO now considers himself as a heavyweight wrestler so Yuki Iino was happy to welcome him in with heavy strikes to his opponent. KIMIHIRO distracted Iino by stealing his catchphrase so Iino knocked him off the apron with a Chop to the chest. MAO rolled Iino over using a Gedo Clutch but then bridged himself backwards to pin Iino for the three count. After this weekend The Apex and SLC are 1-1 in singles matches. Both sides agreed that once Team 200kg will be added to the mix at Sumo Hall the title match truly will become the “ULTIMATE PARTY”.

Bunbun went missing during the show and it turned out there was a reason for that. Match #4 became a Bunbun Hunter x Hunter Match where three wrestlers in the room were each carrying a sack with something inside it. The wrestlers had to grab the sack containing Bunbun but if they grabbed the wrong one, they were eliminated from the match. Chris Brookes and Akito both picked wrong so it was left to Takeshi Masada and Kazuki Hirata to fight each other over the remaining sack. Masada gave Hirata his finisher before taking the sack off him, pulling out Bunbun to win. SCHADENFREUDE International apologised to Bunbun afterwards for leaving him behind.

7. HIMAWARI, Shino Suzuki & Haru Kazashiro defeated Yuki Kamifuku, Wakana Uehara & Kira Summer when HIMAWARI pinned Summmer with the Sunflower Tempest (13:18).

The next challengers for the Princess Tag Team Titles are starting to piece it all together. HIMAWARI & Shino Suzuki got a trios tag win against Ober Eats today with some help from Haru Kazashiro along the way. HIMAWARI was saved from taking a Crab Hold from Kira Summer and then went on to pin her with the Sunflower Tempest. After the match HIMAWARI said while she was in China last week she still kept an eye on Suzuki’s matches to see how she fared without her. Kazashiro called the two of them her best friends from the 2023 Class so she will be cheering for them in the title match. HIMAWARI & Suzuki then revealed their tag team name. They are called Bumping gRitters! They decided to combine the words grit with glitter to make “gRitters” because they fight like shining stones colliding head-on with their opponents! They also warn that Ober Eats better start paying attention to them because they will be charging head-on into them. Ober Eats aren’t taking them seriously though. Yuki Kamifuku joked that the other team placed a curse on them to make her hair grow longer while Wakana Uehara misheard the team name and thinks Bumping gRitters are called Pumpkin Pudding.

The finals of the Next Generation Tournament went all the way into having a bracket reset. Due to the double elimination rules, Chika Nanase needed to win two matches back to back while Uta Takami only needed to beat Nanase one time to be crowned the grand champion. Nanase was able to beat Takami by breaking out of the Koala Clutch and hitting Takami with Elbow Butts until she could pin her for the three count. A rematch immediately took place and Nanase tried to lock in the Inari Torii submission hold. Instead Takami escaped from it and trapped Nanase in the Koala Clutch, forcing her to give up. After Takami received her winner’s medal she called out Arisu Endo and used her title shot prize to make a challenge for the International Princess Title. Endo said she already wants to have a singles match against this version of Takami so it will happen on 9th November at Korakuen Hall.

Takami later explained that even though she admires Miu Watanabe the most, she knows she cannot become like her. But the wrestlers her size like Endo, Shoko Nakajima and Suzume have since become the shining lights for her to follow. Endo is the wrestler closest to what Takami wants to turn into which is why she is challenging her instead of Watanabe. Meanwhile Nanase said she is going to spend the rest of today being completely depressed to get it out of her syste, Then she can come out of it feeling refreshed and ready to take on the next challenge.

Mahiro Kiryu learned the harsh lesson about being the Iron Man Heavymetalweight Champion and that is to not trust anybody. Both Hyper Misao & Raku wanted to win the belt and agreed with each other that there wouldn’t be any hard feelings between them if one got the title instead of the other. They then attempted to ambush Kiryu & Rika Tatsumi during their entrance only to discover the team entered from the other side of the room. Both of them tried to pin Kiryu outside the ring anyway but Tatsumi protected her by strangling the other team at ringside. But with the opposition taken care of, Tatsumi then turned hover to Kiryu used the Sliding Hip Attack on her to win the Iron Man Title for herself! The tag match continued and Tatsumi even saved Kiryu from getting pinned but Raku ended up using the Hurricane Turn on Kiryu to win the match. Tatsumi was still the champion though and she happily ran away with the belt. She said that when Tokyo Joshi Pro has their show with OCHA NORMA in December, she will still be the champion by then and she will give the belt to her favorite member Natsume Nakayama as a gift! Until then she won’t accept any challenges and will run away from anyone wanting to fight her.

Today’s show was the first TJPW event to only feature female referees for every match. Fumirin was joined by Yoko Chihana who usually works as a referee for JTO.

In the main event there was a connection between Yuki Ueno and Takeshi Masada over the DDT Universal Title. Masada just recently lost to the champion Minoru Suzuki while Ueno is Suzuki’s next challenger. Ueno told Masada after today’s bout that he is not going to use Masada’s defeat as motivation for his own match with Suzuki. But Ueno counts on Masada nonetheless and hopes Masada will count on him to beat Suzuki. Meanwhile To-y came out of the match feeling a bump on his forehead but he is taking it as a good sign for his upcoming DDT Extreme Title defence.

There are two matches happening today and tomorrow involving The Apex and Strange Love Connection to serve as previews for the KO-D Tag Team Titles 3 Way. Today’s match had Yukio Naya beat KANON by using The World’s Best Back Drop twice. Naya said after the win that he was finally able to break KANON after losing to him in their three previous singles matches against each other. It doesn’t matter how strong his opponents are, Naya said The Apex will defend their tag titles!

The Osaka venue DDT was in today is apparently within cycling distance of Naomi Yoshimura’s high school so he was thrilled to win his match here.

MAO and Kazuki Hirata ended up turning their match into an invisible Stand battle, as in Jojo’s Bizarre Adventure stands. Hirata’s stand was called Dancing Platinum while MAO’s was called Invisible Big Square. Since they were invisible, Yukinori Matsui had to wear special sunglasses in order to see the Stands in action while to the audience it looked like MAO and Hirata were trying to wrestle each other while staying several feet apart at all times. KIMIHIRO also had a stand of his own that caught Matsui’s hand during a pin count. Hirata attacked that stand with a weapon which also caused KIMIHIRO pain.
