Tetsuya Endo over in NOAH will be missing a show on Sunday too and his is the only report that says he caught the flew. The DDT pages only say the wrestlers mentioned above are all unwell.

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

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “PICTURE BOOK READING PRO WRESTLING IN JIMBOCHO”, 08/11/2025
Jimbocho Book House Café “Children’s Book Specialty Store & Café”

1. Miu Watanabe, Raku & Pom Harajuku Vs Rika Tatsumi, Arisu Endo & Suzume

Some book reading and then a wrestling match for the kids. Rika Tatsumi is also still the Iron Man Heavymetalweight Champion so there’s the risk of a title change happening too.

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

1. 3 Way Match: Gota Ihashi Vs So Daimonji Vs Kaji Tomato
2. Soma Takao & Shota Vs Makoto Oishi & Shiori Asahi

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.

GANBARE☆PRO “SCHOOL OF ROCK 2025”, 09/11/2025

1. Shota Kawakami Vs Sentaro Motoshima

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.

Charismania, Sasaki Is Sick Of Love And Dreams, Dance Terrorist To Debut

Shinjuku FACE

1. KUBITO & Naohiro Katsumi 19th Anniversary Match: KUBITO Vs Naohiro Katsumi

Tomorrow’s “CHARISMANIA” show has some added juice to it now that Daisuke Sasaki will be headlining a Sumo Hall show at the end of the year. Time for him to sharpen up his skills with Yuko Miyamoto, Dick Togo and Minoru Fujita.

Brahman Kei made his first public appearance in Michinoku Pro over the weekend after getting surgery to remove a tumor. He won’t be able to wrestle for a while yet but is capable of being at ringside for Brahman Shu’s matches again. In order to keep the two teams even, Ram Kaichow has gone looking for someone extra to look out for her team against the Brahmans.

4. SAGAT & Antonio Honda Vs Yasu Urano & Masahiro Takanashi
5. Isami Kodaka & Minoru Fujita Vs Daichi Kazato & Ayato Yoshida

Does BASARA have a jacket big enough for Daisuke Sekimoto to wrestle in without his muscles ripping it apart at the seams?

The feud between SCHADENFREUDE International Vs DAMNATION T.A is just getting started! Some of the undercard matches have been changed to adapt with the current turn of events.

Two singles matches building up the next KO-D Tag Team Titles match are happening here. Shunma Katsumata can take a big scalp if he can beat Tetsuya Endo by himself. Yuya Koroku has a recent pinfall win over Katsumata but can he get the same result against MAO?

GANBARE☆PRO “WHERE EAGLES DARE 2024”, 17/11/2024
Shin-Kiba 1st RING

1. Tyson Maeguchi Vs Shota Kawakami
2. Yuna Manase & Nanami Vs YuuRI & Soy

4. Munetatsu Nakamura Vs Yuya Susumu

6. Spirit Of Ganbare World Tag Team Titles: Shigehiro Irie & Mizuki Watase (c) Vs Ken Ohka & Shuji Ishikawa

The main event was originally meant to happen in August but the show was cancelled over typhoon concerns. It took a while to reschedule it but Ken Ohka got a date where Shuji Ishikawa is available to be on the show so they can challenge Shigehiro Irie & Mizuki Watase for the Spirit Of Ganbare Tag Team Titles.

HARUKAZE still has not won a match since Ganbare☆Pro went independent. She hopes teaming up with Black Menso-re is what she needs to finally grab a win for herself. Moeka Haruhi has PSYCHO as her partner to try and continue HARUKAZE’s losing streak.

Ishikawa coming over means he will be bringing someone else from Evolution with him to represent the promotion. Soy is still in her rookie year as a wrestler. Her outsider opponent on the other team is Nanami from Diana.

DDT “NEVER MIND 2024”, 22/12/2024
Tokyo Korakuen Hall

1. Special Single Match: Tomohiro Ishii Vs Yuki Iino

DDT wants to end 2024 on some high notes by running a Korakuen Hall show and a Sumo Hall show in the last few weeks of December. For Korakuen Yuki Iino is getting a singles match against Tomohiro Ishii! What will it be like when a Stone Pitbull is BURNING?

DDT “ULTIMATE PARTY 2024”, 28/12/2024
Tokyo Ryogoku Kokugikan

1. O-MENZ Kumadori Debut Match: Kumadori Vs X
2. Haruto Sakuraba Debut Match: Haruto Sakuraba Vs X
3. KO-D Openweight Title: Chris Brookes Vs Daisuke Sasaki

I have to say I didn’t expect to see Chris Brookes win the KO-D Openweight Title from Shinya Aoki. Even more so I didn’t expect the next Sumo Hall main event to be Brookes Vs Sasaki for the belt. Sasaki is sick of hearing people like Brookes in DDT talk about love and dreams. He is more motivated to make the lives of those people a living hell than he is to become the champion again.

More personalities from the entertainment world are coming to make their pro wrestling debuts in DDT. This time it is a masked man named Kumadori from the “Dance Terrorist Group” O-MENZ. According to Kumadori he is one of the most muscular members of the group and he wants to unleash his breakdancing wrestler skills in the ring. This deal came together when Kumadori met Sanshrio Takagi through a mutual acquaintance. He told Takagi directly that he wanted to give wrestling a try. I looked up some O-MENZ videos online and I think the closest comparison I can think of is they’re like a Japanese version of Jabbawockeez.
