Due to scheduled international travel that ultimately will take me to Japan and South Korea for the first time in my life, there will be a lengthy pause in site activity in the near future. This pause will begin on April 30, 2025 and is tentatively scheduled to run until May 19, 2025 as I expect to have limited internet connectivity at best (and wi-fi won’t be the best for what I have to pay for) and with time differences & travel I won’t be able to keep up with events. Scheduling sucks because travel & connections mean I’ll miss out on chances to attend some major live events (I arrive in Tokyo just after Pro Wrestling NOAH’s 5/3 blowout event wraps up and I’ll just miss out on Dragon Gate’s annual 5/5 blowout event in Nagoya, plus I won’t be near Tokyo for sumo near the end of my trip) and I’ll be 16 hours ahead of my normal time zone. If all goes as planned, normal updates will resume on May 19, 2025. Apologies in advance for any disruptions because I know I will miss a lot of major events.

DDT Pro Wrestling 4/20/25 LIVE Results
Emergency Decision! I just noticed today’s DDT Japan event is a live broadcast so while there’s time and since WrestleMania 41 Night 1 is finished live results will be below.
Today’s event will be held at Kanda Myojin Hall in Tokyo and can be watched LIVE on WRESTLE UNIVERSE. There will be no commentary except for the main event, which will have commentary from special guest Sumire Uesaka, a voice actress. There are only 5 matches scheduled and although the main event has not ime limit this event probably won’t run more than 2 hours.
Today’s lineup:
Kazusada Higuchi vs. Takao Soma
Hideki Okatani & MJ Paul vs. KANON & Tomomitsu Matsunaga
Danshoku Dieno vs. Toru Owashi & Yuki Ishida in a 3-way
HARASHIMA vs. Keigo Nakamura
7 man battle royal
Refresh this page occasionally for the latest results.
Updates below will begin at 9 PM PT/midnight ET. The live stream has already begun.
9 PM PT UPDATE: Live updates begin now.
We are LIVE from Kanda Myojin Hall in Tokyo, Japan. There is no commentary.
The paid attendance will not be announced.
When the event begins there is a promo featuring the current DDT Iron Man Heavymetalweight Champion/s and special guest ambassador Tetsu Inada. But suddenly…ambush! Which led to…
Kazuki Hirata beat DDT Iron Man Heavymetalweight Champion Masanori Kishikawa & Mizuki Takashima to win the title. Hirata becomes the 1745th Champion.
The matches-the scheduled ones anyway-begin at 9:04 PM PT/12:04 AM ET.
Match 1: Kazusada Higuchi vs. Takao Soma. 30 minute time limit
Result: Kazusada Higuchi beat Takao Soma
Match 2: Hideki Okatani & MJ Paul vs. KANON & Tomomitsu Matsunaga. 30 minute time limit
Result: Hideki Okatani & MJ Paul beat KANON & Tomomitsu Matsunaga. Okatani pinned Matsunaga.
Quick break for GM Imabayashi & Tetsu Inada announcements.
Match 3: Danshoku Dieno vs. Toru Owashi & Yuki Ishida in a 3-way. 30 minute time limit
Result: Danshoku Dieno beat Toru Owashi & Yuki Ishida in a 3-way by beating Ishida. Comedy match of course which didn’t go well for GM Imabayashi.
Match 4: HARASHIMA vs. Keigo Nakamura. 30 minute time limit
Result: HARASHIMA beat Keigo Nakamura
Intermission. The main event will follow afterwards (probably 10-15 minutes).
The event resumes at 10:21 PM PT/1:21 AM ET. There will be commentary for the final match.
Main event: 7 man battle royal. Apparently all participants have their hair done like the idol girls that are guests. No time limit
Order of elimination: Akito (pinfall), Chris Brookes (over the top rope), Takeshi Masada (over the top rope), Yuki Ueno (pinfall), Yuya Koroku (over the top rope), To-y (pinfall).
Result: Kazuki Hirata won. The winner’s prize was a matching idol outfit the guests wear. He even put it on to for photo ops. As it seemed to be wrapping up though, Pocotan came out. He attacked Hirata but Inada tossed the head away sending Pocotan scurrying away. Which led to…
Sumire Uesaka beat DDT Iron Man Heavymetalweight Champion Kazuki Hirata to win the title. Uesaka becomes the 1746th Champion.
The event ended with Hirata still laid out in the ring, not coming to until the feed cut away.
After WrestleMania Night 1 wrapped up and felt like a bit of a letdown for the most part, this was the classic DDT comedy we needed. A perfect way to wrap up another full day-and week-of wrestling.
The next event is Wednesday at Ueno Park Outdoor Stage. There will be no live broadcast.
DDT/Tokyo Joshi Pro Wrestling “TJPW x DDT x GCW” LIVE Results (4/19/25)
DDT & Tokyo Joshi Pro wrap up their participation in The Collective today with the second installment of their joint event with host Game Changer Wrestling following the first such event last year. It’s an afternoon matinee that literally will lead into WWE WrestleMania and feature crossover matches from all 3 promotions and other participation. There is also at tile match as BZW Tag Team Champions MAO & Yoshihiko defend the titles in a 3-way…hopefully Yoshihiko is able to compete after quite the beating he took from Minoru Suzuki yesterday.
There has been a late change to the card because Pom Harajuku was unable to travel from Japan to the US due to visa issues. She was to have been in a 10-woman Tokyo Joshi Pro match. Jada Stone is the replacement.
Today’s event will be held at The Pearl Theater at The Palms Casino Resort in Las Vegas, NV and can be watched LIVE on TrillerTV/FITE with a Triller+ subscription ($7.99/month or $71.99/year, new subscribers get a 1 week free trial). This event will run indirectly against the start of WrestleMania based on the lineup as I anticipate it running around 2 1/2 hours, so prepare for some split-screening if you intend to watch WM. I feel bad for anyone attending both in person because they’ll have to miss some of one event in all likelihood.
Today’s lineup (match order TBA):
Yuni & Starboy Charlie vs. Gringo Loco & Arez
Mizuki, Hyper Misao, Yuki Aino, Raku & Jada Stone vs. Miu Watanabe, Suzume, Arisu Endo, Yuki Arai & Shino Suzuki
Yuki Kamifuku & Wakana Uehara vs. Brooke Havok & Sandra Moon
Rika Tatsumi & Antonio Honda vs. Kidd Bandit & Shota
1 Called Manders & Maki Itoh vs. Yukio Naya & Microman

Konosuke Takeshita & Masha Slamovich vs. Shinya Aoki & Miyu Yamashita
Refresh this page occasionally for the latest results.
Updates below will begin at 2 PM PT/5 PM ET.
2 PM PT UPDATE: Live updates begin now.
Waiting for the live feed to begin, black screen at the beginning…seems like we’ve got some technical difficulties.
2:05 PM PT UPDATE: The event’s start time has been pushed back to 2:30 PM PT/5:30 PM ET. This has been confirmed by DDT on their English social media accounts.
2:30 PM PT UDPATE: Live updates begin now…Take 2…
Mandatory FBI Warning then a 10 second countdown and…Mandatory Copyright Notice then…
