Main Event: Yoshiki Inamura, Manabu Soya & Mohammed Yone beat KENTA, HAYATA & Tetsuya endo. Inamura pinned HAYATA after DIS CHARGE.
With one day left in the tournament before the Finals here are the scenarios and there is a lot to unpack:
Wolf/Fujimura advance to the Finals with a win or draw tomorrow (Trew/Lacey). They are OUT with a loss AND Tadasuke/Masaoka win.
Trew/Lacey advance with a win AND Daga/Odashima-Bane/Alejandro MUST BE A DRAW because Trew/Lacey lose tiebreakers to both. They are OUT if it’s not OR with a loss or draw.
Tadasuke/Masaoka advance with a win AND Wolf/Fujimura win or draw AND Bane/Alejandro win or draw. They are OUT with Daga/Odashima win due to tiebreakers OR if Trew/Lacey win.
Bane/Alejandro advance with a win AND Tadasuke/Masaoka must lose or draw (AMAKUSA?Menso-re). They are OUT with a loss.
Daga/Odashima advance with a win.
If Daga/Odashima-Bane/Alejandro is a draw AND Wolf/Fujimira win or draw AND Tadasuke/Masaoka lose, there will be a Daga/Odashima-Bane/Alejandro rematch as the tiebreaker.
And if there are more than 3 teams tied? Well…let the promotion figure it out!
Daga/Odashima-Bane/Alejandro will be the main event tomorrow.
The next event is tomorrow at Acros Fukuoka in Fukuoka. Live streaming on WRESTLE UNIVERSE will begin TONIGHT at 8 PM PT/11 PM ET.

DDT Pro Wrestling 2/22/2026 LIVE Results (Updated)
DDT’s monthly Tokyo signature event is on tap today and it’s all about the “Hybrid Performer”. The event is officially a Kaisei Takechi 2nd Anniversary event as it celebrates the stage actor/performer/entertainer “The Rampage” who has also become a pro wrestler and now a champion as he is part of the KO-D 6-Man Tag Team Champions and also got a chance to compete on Japan’s biggest stage when he was part of New Japan’s Tokyo Dome event on 1/4. Today he faces his fellow 6-man champion, KO-D Openweight Champion Yuki Ueno, in a NON-TITLE match.

Today’s event will be held at Korakuen Hall in Tokyo and can be watched LIVE on WRESTLE UNIVERSE in Japanese. Riki Matsui of dance & music group BALLISTIK BOYZ will be a special guest on commentary. The event is a legit advance sellout. There are 7 matches scheduled today and it’s the rare Korakuen event without title matches so although the DGC Final will have no time limit I anticipate it being a “standard” Korakuen event with a running time of around 2 1/2 hours.

Injury Report: Ganbare Flagbearer Goes Down
Ganbare Pro has announced an injury update that unfortunately has wide-reaching implications-their women’s flagbearer, Yuna Manase, went down in practice yesterday with an injury seemingly worse than feared. Broken collarbone. It was originally thought she had a shoulder injury. Based on Ganbare’s announcement she will be out at least several weeks including Sunday. The previously announced cards were already updated but I believe she was to have been in a 6-person tag match. Chanyota is the replacement. On 3/1 she was to have teamed with Keisuke Ishii & Tyson Maeguchi to face YuuRI, Shuichiro Katsumura & Tsuyoshi Okada. No replacement named yet.
It’s not yet known how long Manase will be out. Updates on other participation changes-namely GLEAT-hopefully will come soon.
More as it becomes available.
