7. KO-D Openweight Title & DDT Universal Title – Irregular 3 Way Match: Yuki Ueno (c/c) Vs Daisuke Sasaki Vs Chris Brookes
There’s going to be some changes in DDT if Daisuke Sasaki gets his way and wins more championships. He currently holds the O-40 Title and wants to create a DDT Triple Crown by winning both the KO-D Openweight Title and DDT Universal Title. Then he won’t have to defend the belts against anyone under the age of forty and DDT will start to resemble the final years of WCW. Sasaki is fond of that period because the shows would always end with interferences and he was also looked up to Scott Hall for being an alcoholic. Sasaki admits he always finds negative things to be cool. Should Sasaki achieve the “Triple Crown” and only fights other wrestlers over forty, he theorizes that he will then have the likes of Roman Reigns, Cody Rhodes and Brock Lesnar as potential challengers because right now DDT hasn’t been lining up opponents for his O-40 Title. WWE hasn’t responded to his requests though. Sasaki also doesn’t like how Yuki Ueno and Chris Brookes are drawing in bigger audiences of young women to the shows. He would prefer the audience to be full of older men who look like Tetsu Inada.
Stage actress Yuzuki Hoshimoto will be in attendance to second the Strange Love Connection in the KO-D Tag Team Titles match. She previously appeared in DDT with the team at last November’s Korakuen Hall show.
The big draw of the show has gone down! Kaisei Takechi has been pulled from the show because he currently has an infectious case of pink eye. He will now be replaced by To-y in the big tag match also featuring HARASHIMA, Konosuke Takeshita and Jun Akiyama. That also means To-y has been plucked out of the 10-Man Tag Match. Ryoma Tsukamoto has been called in to take his place in that bout.

SUPER JAPAN “JUDGEMENT”, 24/03/2026
Shinjuku FACE
1. Special Single Match: Shinya Aoki Vs Kazunari Murakami
History will repeat itself with Sanshiro Takagi’s alternate history spin off. At the end of 2025 he felt the time was right to end the Super Japan project because thr year long celebration of his 30th Anniversary in wrestling had been completed. However his appointed ace of the promotion Yuji Nagata revealed that he had Shinjuku FACE booked for 24th March for a show of his own and decided that it should go to Super Japan instead so it could either continue or at least give everyone a proper farewell. Taking a page out of DDT’s beginning all the way back in 1997, Takagi decided that this upcoming show in March will end with a fan vote on whether or not Super Japan should continue. “JUDGEMENT” was the name of that very first DDT show in ’97 so it is only fitting for the name to be used here as well. Now we have to see if history will repeat itself.
The first match announced is an intriguing pro wrestling match between MMA backgrounds. Shinya Aoki faces Kazunari Murakami, the man with perhaps the most surliest face you will ever see in pro wrestling. He tends to be a snappy dresser too.
Names currently scheduled for the show include Yuji Nagata, Sanshiro Takagi, Kuroshio TOKYO Japan, Fuminori Abe and Munenori Sawa.
