DDT “D GENERATIONS SP”, 11/11/2025
Shinjuku FACE
??? Fans – Unannounced

1. Ali Najima defeated Hinata Kasai with a Crab Hold (8:23).
2. Yuki Ishida & Kazuma Sumi defeated Munetatsu Nakamura & Sentaro Motoshima when Ishida pinned Motoshima with the Dosukoi Splash (10:51).
3. To-y defeated Daichi Sato with the Kojima In Wonderland II ~Kojima Wonderland II~ (11:18).
4. Special Single Match: Daiki Nagai defeated Rukiya with a Crab Hold (6:21).
5. Special Tag Match: Yuya Koroku & Katsuya Murashima defeated Ryoma Tsukamoto & Kumadori by Referee Stoppage when Koroku used the Chickenwing Arm Lock on Tsukamoto (14:02).
6. Special Tag Match: Kosei Fujita & Takeshi Masada defeated Hideki Okatani & Ilusion when Masada pinned Ilusion with the Masada No Chikara KOBU Mukimuki (19:34).

Two close friends Kosei Fujita & Takeshi Masada got to team up together for a special D GENERATIONS show. The two of them are so close, you could call them ZUTTOMO, the Japanese slang word for being best friends forever. Friends like that need to stick together in the face of danger and they were in for a big fight against Hideki Okatani & Ilusion from DAMNATION T.A. When a ref bump took place, Okatani started attacking Masada with a bamboo stick but Fujita came to the rescue armed with one of his own to fight him off. With that threat dealt with, Masada went on to beat Ilusion. Fujita said it was fun to wrestle in front of a DDT audience who create a different environment from New Japan. He might have to ask Sanshiro Takagi if he can come back another time. In return, Masada is open to showing up in NJPW again too. However the DAMNATION T.A pair warned Fujita that Masada only sees him as a number and he was tricked into doing his bidding. There’s an open seat next to Okatani & Ilusion for when Fujita finally sees the light.

Other New Japan involvement on the show included Katsuya Murashima and Daiki Nagai competing in seperate matches. Murashima teamed with Yuya Koroku to beat Ryoma Tsukamoto & Kumadori but the aftermatch focused on the sudden bad blood brewing between Koroku and Tsukamoto. Koroku won the match by referee stoppage which caused Tsukamoto to protest the result because he never tapped out. He then got into a fight with Koroku. Both wrestlers said they don’t like each other and want to continue fighting more and more. Koroku has more nicer things to say about Murashima and Kumadori while Tsukamoto complained about everyone else in the match.

Nagai won his match against Rukiya but wonders where did the blonde guy who does amazing flying moves go? He was referring to Kazuma Sumi who already wrestled in the second match. They have unfinished business from the Super Sasadango Vs Yasu Urano show from June. Nagai thought he was going to fight Sumi again and doesn’t understand why he had to wrestle the blue haired guy instead.

The next D GENERATIONS show will be on 12th November.

GANBARE☆PRO “TBA”, 29/11/2025
Tokyo Takashimadaira Kumin Center

1. Spirit Of Ganbare World Tag Team Titles: Ryota Nakatsu & Takumi Tsukamoto (c) Vs Shuichiro Katsumura & YuuRI

As shown in recent Ganbare☆Pro events, YuuRI does not want to be just confined to the Ganbare☆Joshi division. She thinks she is good enough to beat the BASARA team and bring the Spirit Of Ganbare World Tag Team Titles back home. She needs a tag partner though and lucky for her, Shuichiro Katsumura has her back. Ryota Nakatsu & Takumi Tsukamoto aren’t feeling worried about them though.

It’s not official yet but Ken Ohka has been chosen to be Masaaki Mochizuki’s next opponent for the Spirit Of Ganbare World Title after he begged to Michiyoshi Mishima for the opportunity. GanPro want the match to happen at this show but Dragon Gate also has an event going on in Okinawa the same day. Negotiations are under way to get Mochizuki booked for this show.

The next time they go one on one it will be the headline bout at Korakuen Hall with the Princess Of Princess Title on the line!

Shin-Kiba 1st RING
202 Fans

1. Shota Kawakami defeated Sentaro Motoshima with the Fisherman Buster (9:53).
2. YuuRI & Sumika Yanagawa defeated Haruka Umesaki & Soy when YuuRI submitted Soy with a Spiral Dragon Sleeper (12:05).
3. Shuichiro Katsumura, Takuya Wada & Jonathan Johnson defeated Yumehito Imanari, Shinichiro Tominaga & Mizuki Watase when Johnson pinned Tominaga with a Jackknife Pin (11:26).
4. Keisuke Ishii defeated Munetatsu Nakamura with the Kneel Kick (11:53).
5. Spirit Of Ganbare World Tag Team Titles: Ryota Nakatsu & Takumi Tsukamoto (c) defeated Ken Ohka & Choun Shiryu by Referee Stoppage when Nakatsu used a Rear Naked Choke on Shiryu (18:52).
*V2 for Ryota Nakatsu & Takumi Tsukamoto.
6. Spirit Of Ganbare World Openweight Title: Masaaki Mochizuki (c) defeated Yuna Manase with the Shin Saikyou High Kick (19:57).
*V2 for Masaaki Mochizuki.

This was Yuna Manase’s second chance at becoming the first woman to win a Spirit Of Ganbare Championship. She is now also the second woman Masaaki Mochizuki ever had a singles match against, the first being Sakura Hirota twelve years ago. He wasn’t comfortable at first having to fight Manase but took her seriously when she went on the attack from the start of the match. Manase was able to kick out of the Twister but was pretty much out on her feet so Mochizuki finished her off with the Shin Saikyou High Kick (right leg instead of the left leg). He told her afterwards she doesn’t need to say anything about the match because everyone who came to see it understood it very well. He’s now starting to love wrestling in Ganbare☆Pro because of how fun it is and looks forward to facing his next challenger. He then helped walk Manase out of the ring and back to the locker room. Backstage Manase said she just had a championship match against Masaaki Mochizuki so she can absolutely call herself a pro wrestler and be proud of it.

At the end of the show Ken Ohka approached Michiyoshi Mishima and begged for the next Spirit Of Ganbare Title shot so he can do his part to protect GanPro. He also thinks as the founder of the company it would be fitting if he was the one to beat Mochizuki for the title. Mishima said if Mochizuki will agree to it, he will put the match together. When Mochizuki learned of the idea, he pointed out that Ohka couldn’t beat Shuichiro Katsumura in the previous No. 1 Contender match. But he accepts the challenge and is confident he will beat Ohka in five minutes. GanPro is trying to get the match booked for their 29th November show in Tokyo but they are aware that Dragon Gate also has a show taking place in Okinawa that day.

Ohka had a chance on this show to win the Spirit Of Ganbare World Tag Team Titles but it didn’t turn out that way in the end. Choun Shiryu did a big stunt dive from the top of a wall onto Ryota Nakatsu & Takumi Tsukamoto but back in the ring Ohka accidentally hit him with the Flame Spear. Nakatsu took advantage and clamped a Rear Naked Choke onto Shiryu until the referee decided to stop the match. The BASARA team then found out who is next to challenge them. YuuRI came out and said she doesn’t want to be confined to the Ganbare☆Joshi division so she is challenging them to a title match! When it was pointed out that she doesn’t have a partner, Katsumura joined her side and said a tomboy like YuuRI needs a guardian like himself. The title match will go ahead on 29th November.

The reason why YuuRI made that challenge is because she is currently riding on a big confidence boost. That was caused by her announcement earlier in the show that she will be facing Sareee at Korakuen Hall on 27th December! The match will celebrate YuuRI’s 5th Anniversary in wrestling and she promises it won’t just be a dream match. She will use everything she has accumulated in the last five years together to beat Sareee!

Moeka Haruhi will return from her hiatus on the 29th November show.

“ROJO PRO WRESTLING IN SHINGASHI” Results

“ROJO PRO WRESTLING IN SHINGASHI”, 09/11/2025
Saitama Shingashi Station West Exit Station Street
??? Fans – Unannounced

1. 3 Way Match: So Daimonji defeated Gota Ihashi and Kaji Tomato when Daimonji pinned Ihashi with the Black Rain (?:??).
2. Makoto Oishi & Shiori Asahi defeated Soma Takao & Shota when Oishi pinned Shota after the Cactus Flower onto the bridging Ladder (?:??).

I’m still not quite sure if this counts as a DDT show but they were promoting it on their social media so I may as well put up the results. It was two outdoor Falls Count Anywhere matches that took place on a rainy day at the Waku Waku Festival in Saitama. The tag match was a lot more hardcore with the inclusion of chairs and ladders being used. The objects were then stacked together to create a bridging piece of furniture. Makoto Oishi & Shiori Asahi ended up giving the Cactus Flower to Soma Takao on top of the thing to pin him away from Soma Takao and beat ROMANCE DAWN.

The 3 Way Match was a simpler bout in comparison. Kaji Tomato thought he was about to win until So Daimonji grabbed him by the throat and then Choke Slammed him on top of the prone Gota Ihashi. Daimonji then hit Ihashi from behind with his version of the Hidden Blade to win the match.

1. Demus defeated Kazuma Sumi with La Valagueza (9:47).
2. Daisuke Sasaki, Hideki Okatani & Ilusion defeated Chris Brookes, Tomomitsu Matsunaga & Hinata Kasai when Okatani pinned Kasai with the Skewered Claymore (12:53).
3. Takeshi Masada defeated MJ Paul with the Manburi (8:50).
4. Special 3 Way Match: Yuki Ueno defeated MAO (w/ KIMIHIRO) and Kazuki Hirata when Ueno pinned MAO after a Choke Slam By The Stand (14:23).
5. Special Single Match: Kazusada Higuchi defeated Yuya Koroku with a Single Leg Crab Hold (12:54).
6. Kumamoto Castle Sauna No Yu Presents Special 6-Man Tag Match: KONOSUKE TAKESHITA, Sanshiro Takagi & HARASHIMA defeated To-y, Daichi Sato & Yuki Ishida when TAKESHITA pinned Ishida with the Raging Fire (20:04).

A homecoming show was the big chance for Yuki Ishida to claim some glory he’s been missing out on so much lately but it just wasn’t to be. Konosuke Takeshita gave him quite a beating that was done just as much to send a message to To-y & Daichi Sato. The D GENERATIONS trio tried launching a comeback on Sanshiro Takagi & HARASHIMA but Takeshita put Ishida away at the end with the Raging Fire. Takeshita had some words to say after the match but first ordered To-y & Sato to cover Ishida’s ears so he couldn’t hear them. Takeshita explained that Ishida gets cocky whenever he receives praise then called him a talented wrestler who is working hard, which should mean a lot coming from the IWGP World Heavyweight Champion! He told the local fans that the more they support Ishida, the stronger he will become. When it was Ishida’s time to talk, he said he will keep working hard to become a wrestler like Takeshita. He also brought up a goal to wrestle in his hometown of Yatsuhiro once a year as well as Kumamoto City once a year. To-y didn’t show Takagi the same respect, he flipped him off with his middle finger instead.

Just like in Osaka last month, MAO and Kazuki Hirata wore special glasses in their match that allowed them to use Stand powers on each other. Yuki Ueno was the odd man out until he got his hands on a pair of glasses that turned him into a Stand user too. Ueno then used his new abilities to Choke Slam MAO and Hirata at the same time without actually touching them to win the 3 Way Match.

Takeshi Masada used what looks like the Busaiku Knee Kick to beat MJ Paul. His version of the move is now called Manburi.

*V5 for Shoko Nakajima.
5. International Princess Title: Arisu Endo (c) defeated Uta Takami with the Camel Clutch (11:15).
*V2 for Arisu Endo.
-. Iron Man Heavymetalweight Title: Mahiro Kiryu defeated Rika Tatsumi (c) with a Title Belt Strike (1:11 pm).
*Mahiro Kiryu becomes the 1,782nd champion.
6. Princess Tag Team Titles: Yuki Kamifuku & Wakana Uehara (c) defeated HIMAWARI & Shino Suzuki when Uehara pinned Suzuki with the Sushi Tornado (16:38).
*V2 for Ober Eats.
7. Princess Of Princess Title: Miu Watanabe (c) defeated J-Rod with the Spinning Tear Drop (12:55).
*V2 for Miu Watanabe.

It’s not often that Miu Watanabe is given a bigger and stronger opponent to fight in Tokyo Joshi Pro but they brought in J-Rod, “The Ultimate Athlete” from America to be that just for her. J-Rod slammed Watanabe around until she found herself getting spun around the ring in the Giant Swing. That cheered Watanabe up into doing a muscle pose but J-Rod Power Bombed that joy out of her. She also hit the Ultimate Spear near the ropes but the time it took to pull Watanabe into the middle of the ring, she was able to recover enough to kick out of the pin. Watanabe countered a second Ultimate Spear into a Power Slam and immediately gave J-Rod the Spinning Tear Drop to get the three count and defend her Princess Of Princess Title. J-Rod looked at the bright side to take the sting out of her defeat. She worked so hard to get a Korakuen Hall main event because she was originally trained in the NJPW Academy by King Haku and his family. She picked up her admiration for Japanese wrestling from them so is very happy to be where she is right now and cannot wait for her next visit.

After the match Watanabe shook off the effects of being slammed by J-Rod and spoke to the fans about wanting to defend the Princess Title many times on the road to next March’s Sumo Hall show. Suzume then entered the ring and congratulated Watanabe on her victory. She said TJPW is the place where you can become whoever you want, like becoming a princess for example. She now wants to shine like Watanabe and has come out to challenge her for the Princess Title! Watanabe was so happy to hear that she started to cry because she thinks she shares many similiarities with Suzume. That then made Suzume start to cry. The two agreed to the match and it will take place at the 4th January Korakuen show!

It was time for Shino Suzuki to stand up for herself against Ober Eats and she was able to get under Wakana Uehara’s skin early. Early in the match Suzuki went into tour guide mode and presented Uehara to the audience as the woman who is going to pass the Princess Tag Team Titles over to Bumping gRitters. Uehara lost her cool and yelled she isn’t giving up the belts before hitting back at Suzuki. Yuki Kamifuku also decided to put her opponents in their place, shouting at them not to underestimate her before she delivered a Double Famouser to the gRitters. Uehara then took over and pinned Suzuki with the Sushi Tornado for a successful title defence. Despite the growing tension brewing between the two teams going into the match, Kamifuku hugged both of her opponents afterwards. Uehara wanted to do the same but Suzuki pushed her away. Backstage Kamifuku spoke highly of HIMAWARI in particular for giving it her all. She said Uehara must have felt like she was on her fourth bowl of curry fighting her. Uehara agreed but added in that she could eat six more. HIMAWARI consoled Suzuki in the meantime and told her they’re not done yet. Suzuki thanked HIMAWARI for teaming with her and her tears are only for today’s frustration. She isn’t going to be broken up over this for long.

By winning the Next Generation Tournament last month Uta Takami made a beeline straight for the International Princess Title held by Arisu Endo. She focused mainly on ways to cradle Endo into pins or attach herself onto her with the Koala Clutch. Endo’s use of Super Kicks and Knee Drops were downgraded when Takami also tried grabbing onto her leg. But Endo found a Breakthrough using the Waterwheel Drop and applied the Camel Clutch to make Takami give up. She describes Takami as being extremely competitive even if her confidence is not always high. She also thinks Takami is good at obeserving how other wrestlers move so she can use that ability to become stronger. As for any future challengers, Endo is feeling invincible right now and can defend the International Princess Title against anybody. Takami said she has definitely grown after her first title match although she isn’t sure what chapter of her story she is at right now. She has a homecoming match coming up soon and even though she won’t go back to Kanazawa as a champion she will be heading over still feeling proud of herself.

More international stakes could be found down the card when Shoko Nakajima had her latest defence of the MLW Women’s World Featherweight Title. This time her opponent was Viva Van who was making her return to TJPW for the first time since May (I haven’t paid any attention to if the VPW Women’s Title she won then is still active). The challenger had Nakajima scouted for the most part but when she went to go for the Hellevator, Nakajima escaped and stunned Van with a Hong Kong Spinning Elbow. She then used the Double Arm DDT followed by the Diving Senton to win. She praised Van for being an incredibly versatile wrestler who is capable of anything. She also has a few regrets over losing matches on her recent tour of Mexico so she wants to train more in order to get revenge next time. Van said this isn’t the end because she won’t be giving up. Japan is the start of a world tour she is taking on and she plans on rising to the top!

It is time for another team up between Hiroyo Matsumoto & Yuki Arai. The two of them taking on Hot Shot was also an opportunity for Matsumoto to match up against Yuna Manase while impressing the AKB48 idol Oda Erina over at the commentary table (they knew each other from Tofu Pro Wrestling). Toga was fired up to fight which then made Manase want to take Toga’s Elbow Strike to add extra damage to a Samoan Drop she was giving Matsumoto. Arai came in to give Manase the Scorpion Death Lock while Matsumoto put Toga in a Face Lock. Matsumoto then finished Toga off with the Rock Drop before going over to Erina with Arai to celebrate their victory. They’re now two wins for two as a tag team and already considering whether or not to make the Princess Tag Titles their goal. Toga feels she suffered an even cleaner loss to Matsumoto than she did back at “WRESTLE PRINCESS VI”. Manase told her it was important that they never lost their motivation during the match. Given how insular TJPW is, Toga should never take it for granted when she gets to wrestle people from the outside because it is valuable experience that should not go to waste. Hot Shot will debrief over this and do their best to become champions some day.

A rare 4 Way Tag Match was put together promising a lot of chaos in the ring. Raku & Pom Harajuku formed a giant heart with their arms and used it to trap Miyu Yamashita & Kaya Toribami ring around the rosie style. They then led a large Oyasumi Express where all of the other teams stepped over Yamashita & Toribami. Yuki Aino showed off her power by Side Suplexing both Mizuki & Suzume at the same time. She also briefly joined forces with Raku until Raku turned on her. Everything went mad with one wrestler after another fighting each other ending with Mizuki taking out Yamashita with a Spinning Diving Cross Body. With the ring emptied out, Suzume was able to pin Haru Kazashiro with the Ring A Bell. Harajuku called the match a scary dream so she and Raku should wake up and return to the real world for a bit. Aino thought her team were going to win until the very end but they’ve gained experience so next time they should try doing a 5 Way Tag! Yamashita told Toribami that you need to use your head to win multi-team Tag Matches but neither of them can do that. They have a 3 Way Tag coming up at next week’s SETUP tour of Japan and there will be a championship on the line so they cannot afford to lose. They’ll also be touring Thailand soon so they’re going to dominate over there too. Both Mizuki & Suzume had fun teaming with each other because they were able to move so freely together. Suzume said Mizuki always pushes her forward so that match gave her a lot of courage.

The opening 8-Woman Tag Match was missing a participant because Kira Summer caught a fever and had to miss the show on short notice. Rika Tatsumi, Chika Nanase & Ren Konatsu were told that they would be getting a replacement partner but the team showed up to the match without one. Hyper Misao thought that Tetsuya Koda wasn’t able to find anybody so her own team now had the numbers advantage. But when Misao’s team all put Tatsumi’s team in submission holds while Mifu Ashida was cheerleading around them, Tatsumi called out for “X” to help her. Suddenly the super substitute Ryo Mizunami appeared! She performed her full entrance though so the match continued while she was playing up to the fans. Then when she was finally ready, she couldn’t tell Kakeru Sekiguchi and Mahiro Kiryu apart. Tatsumi overcame an accidental strangulation of Mizunami to pin Ashida with the Twist Of Fate. Mizunami pushed her down after the match and Kiryu ran back into the ring to try and win the Iron Man Heavymetalweight Title from Tatsumi but failed when Tatsumi kicked out and ran off.

Then later backstage Tatsumi found who she thought was Kiryu by the stairs. She went over and choked her unconscious only to discover it was actually Sekiguchi she strangled! Kiryu then appeared behind Tatsumi, knocked her out with the Iron Man Title and then pinned her to become the champion again!

1. Falls Count Anywhere 6-Woman Tag Match: Rika Tatsumi, Arisu Endo & Suzume defeated Miu Watanabe, Raku & Pom Harajuku when Tatsumi pinned Harajuku with the Missile Hip From The Sofa (13:12).

A special kind of Falls Count Anywhere match took place today inside a children’s book shop. But before the match could take place, each wrestler took the time to read a different book to all of the children in attendance. Then when they all had their turn, mats were laid out on the floor for the match to begin. The match quickly spilled around the shop where Rika Tatsumi found the café and took a break to order a hot chocolate. Miu Watanabe tried to take it off her but Tatsumi took it back and choked Watanabe while drinking. Raku kept trying to read while she was wrestling the match and took inspiration from a book about Giant Baba to fire herself up into giving everyone Overhead Chops. Both Suzume & Arisu Endo jumped off the sofas to dive onto Watanabe & Raku. Tatsumi then ran across the sofa to hit Pom Harajuku with the Missile Hip for the victory.

After the match Tatsumi celebrated by telling everyone she successfully defended the Iron Man Heavymetalweight Title even though according to her it was never on the line in the first place. Everyone who took part said they were happy to read books to everyone, even Harajuku who as a three year old usually has books read to her rather than the other way around. Raku then advised everyone to get plenty of sleep before tomorrow’s Tokyo Joshi Pro show at Korakuen Hall.

Things almost went pear shaped for Tatsumi before the event began. Earlier in the day she decided to relax by reading a picture book about the baseball player Shohei Ohtani. She ended up falling asleep with the book resting on top of her so when the referee entered the room, he thought she was being pinned and counted to three. The new champion was now “Let’s Play Baseball! The Story of Shohei Ohtani 2025 Special Edition” but Tatsumi then woke up. When she realized what happened, she read through every page of the book as quickly as she could. When she was done, the referee declared she had defeated the book and was therefore the champion again.

1. Hideki Okatani defeated Yuki Ishida with the Skewered Claymore (10:52).
2. MJ Paul & Demus defeated Yuya Koroku & Hinata Kasai when Demus pinned Kasai with La Valagueza (8:58).
3. Irregular 3 Way Match: To-y defeated Kazuki Hirata and Takeshi Masada when To-y submitted Hirata with an Arm Bar (9:55).
4. Yuki Ueno defeated Tomomitsu Matsunaga with the Jul.2 (8:58).
5. Sanshiro Takagi & Chris Brookes defeated Kazusada Higuchi & Daichi Sato when Takagi pinned Sato with La Magistral Cradle (11:00).
6. Special 6-Man Tag Match: KONOSUKE TAKESHITA, Daisuke Sasaki & Ilusion defeated MAO, HARASHIMA & Kazuma Sumi (w/ KIMIHIRO) when Sasaki pinned Sumi after the Dooms Of Day The Alpha (20:19).

Well that finisher name in the main event is a bit of a mouthful. Konosuke Takeshita & Daisuke Sasaki used the Doomsday Device to pin Kazuma Sumi but the DDT website put the name down in English as “Dooms Of Day The Alpha”. I think they can get away with taking out the “Of”. After the match Takeshita talked about being a trainer for Ilusion when Ilusion started wrestling. He was then entrusted to Sasaki when Takeshita moved to America. Takeshita told Ilusion he has become a good wrestler but if he is in DAMNATION T.A then he’ll need to get stronger to catch up with Sasaki. Ilusion told everyone that all of the times Takeshita scolded or praised him became part of his pro wrestling.

Yuki Ueno got to talk about his good times with Tomomitsu Matsunaga after they had a rare singles match put together due to a bunch of wrestlers becoming too sick to wrestle today.

Special rules were put together for the 3 Way Match. After using an Amidakuji page to figure it out To-y needed to be pinned for a normal 3 Count to lose, Kazuki Hirata needed to be pinned for a 5 Count to lose and Takeshi Masada needed to just be pinned for a 1 Count to lose. So naturally the match ended with To-y submitting Hirata because it was quicker than pinning him.

However MAO has recovered from his sick day and will make the shows.

Two DDT wrestlers have quietly been added to another show going over in Saitama this Sunday. There are two Street Wrestling matches are taking place at the annual Waku Waku Festival. Soma Takao will be there to reunite ROMANCE DAWN with Shota to take on Makoto Oishi & Shiori Asahi. Also Gota Ihashi is entering a 3 Way Match against So Daimonji and Kaji Tomato. It’s not DDT branded matches as much as I can tell but DDT are promoting it on their Twitter so I might as well try to find the results when they happen.

DDT “BE AMBITIOUS ~AUTUMN BATTLE~”, 30/11/2025
Tokyo Korakuen Hall

1. DDT Extreme Title – Weapon Gamble Match: To-y (c) Vs Sanshiro Takagi
2. KO-D Tag Team Titles: MAO & KANON (c) (w/ KIMIHIRO) Vs Daisuke Sasaki & Hideki Okatani
3. Special Single Match: KONOSUKE TAKESHITA Vs Shinya Aoki
4. KO-D Openweight Title & DDT Universal Title: Yuki Ueno (c/c) Vs Super Sasadango Machine

The double title match is something that Yuki Ueno really wants to put across as a big deal so he asked DDT to put their best effort into the pre-match hype video to tell the story right to the audience. He also doesn’t want the match itself to risk being undercut by the video so he is forcing Super Sasadango Machine to skip the pre-match PowerPoint Presentation! Sasadango reluctantly agreed because he has a secret weapon that can win him both the KO-D Openweight Title and DDT Universal Title. He has the dreaded Reverse Shrimp Hold that he purposely kept hidden in his moveset for his entire career and now is the time for him to use it!

We have another Konosuke Takeshita match in DDT to look forward to this month and it is a doozy. Both he and Shinya Aoki want to have a rematch from their January 2022 bout so let them have at it! They did wrestle each other far more recently, during Wrestlemania Weekend in Las Vegas this past April. But one on one it’s been quite a while.

Both members of Strange Love Connection falling sick and missing some matches has ended up making a few wrestlers from DAMNATION T.A mad. Daisuke Sasaki wants them to give up the KO-D Tag Team Titles if they’re going to be weak like this, unlike him who injured his ribs the last time he was in a KO-D Tag Titles match and was able to come back from it. Hideki Okatani made the challenge even more serious by attack KIMIHIRO with his bamboo stick when the MC was performing by himself without MAO or KANON there to protect him.

A new twist on an old favorite awaits for the DDT Extreme Title match. Sanshiro Takagi loves the Weapon Rumble while To-y loves gambling. So you put them together to get the Weapon Gamble! The match is won under normal means but every now and then a new weapon will be brought down to the ring. For every weapon that shows up, To-y and Takagi will play a gambling game where the winner gets to use the weapon. It will be against the rules for a wrestler to use a weapon they didn’t win.

Now back from an injury (and from filming a Street Fighter movie where played the role of as E. Honda), Goto stepped up to be Takeshita’s first challenger. Takeshita wound up blocking the Goto Revolution, knocked him back with the big Elbow Strike, stunned Goto with the Wagamama and pinned him with the Raging Fire for the win.
