DDT ran the second half of their weekend doubleheader in Nagoya today.
Today’s event was held at Imaike Gas Hall in Nagoya and will be available on demand on WRESTLE UNIVERSE Wednesday. There was no live broadcast.
The paid attendance was not announced. Based on crowd photos it may have been a legit sellout or close.
There was a last-minute change to the card due to Junta Miyawaki being pulled off the event. The always-vague poor health. Tomomitsu Matsunaga was the replacement.
Today is/was Yuni’s 18th birthday so there was a pre-event celebration for him.
Match 1: D GENERATIONS CUP Block B: Rukiya beat Hinata Kasai.
Match 2: Hideki Okatani & Illusion beat HARASHIMA & Yuni. Illusion pinned Yuni after a swanton bomb.
Match 4: Jun Akiyama, Naomi Yoshimura & Yuki Ishida beat Yukio Naya, Tomomitsu Matsunaga & Daichi Sato. Ishida pinned Sato after Buchi-kake.
Match 5: Yuki Ueno & To-y beat MAO & KANON, Daisuke Sasaki & MJ Paul and Chris Brookes & Antonio Honda in a 4-way when Ueno pinned Honda.
Main Event: D GENERATIONS CUP Block B: Takeshi Masada beat Yuya Koroku. As a result, there was a 3-way tie for the top spot so Assistant GM Akito intervened to set up the tiebreaker-a series of matches, between the three, first to win 2 advances. Which led to… Tiebreaker match 1: Rukiya beat Yuya Koroku.. Tiebreaker match 2: Takeshi Masada beat Rukiya. Tiebreaker match 3: Takeshi Masada beat Yuya Koroku. As a result, Masada wins Block B and advances to the Finals to face Sumi. That match will happen on 2/22 at Korakuen Hall in Tokyo.

DDT ran the first half of a wkkeend house show doublehader in Nagoya today.
Today’s event was held at Imaike Gas Hall in Nagoya and will be available on demand on WRESTLE UNIVERSE Tuesday. There was no live broadcast.
The paid attendance was not announced.

Today’s event was held at Osaka Prefectural Gym in Osaka and can be watched on demand as a PPV on Stardom World until roughly 2/23. You can also watch the first 4 matches, which includes 2 pre-show matches, FOR FREE on YouTube.
The paid attendance was not announced.
There was a last-minute change to the event due to Hazuki being pulled off the card. Unspecified circumstances but she was there. She was to have teamed with TBA in a 4-way tag match. I have a feeling it was to give her a masked or comedy gimmick.
Pre-show: Match 1: Momo Kohgo beat Yuna Mizumori, Lady C, Azusa Inaba & Kiyoka Kokatsu in a 5-way by pinning Mizumori. As a result, Kohgo will get the next High Speed Championship shot, meaning a rematch with Mizumori. Match 2: Hina, Tomoka Inaba & Ranna Yagami beat Sayaka Kurara, Anne Kanaya & Kikyo Furusawa. Hina pinned Kurara after Mad Splash.
PPV: Match 1: Rina beat Fuwa-chan.
Match 2: Maki Itoh beat Aya Sakura by submission. This apparently was for a “cutest in the world” championship Itoh created and defended, which is an unofficial title.
Match 3: AZM & Miyu Amasaki beat Saya Iida & Yuria Hime, Natsupoi & Saori Anou and Kuidare Hazuki & Billiken (who I’m guessing based on translation are Hazuki & Fukigen/Kaori Yoneyama) in a 4-way when Amasaki pinned Hime.
Match 4: Syuri beat Saki Kashima.
Match 5: In a handicap elimination gauntlet match (win by pinfall, submission or over the top rope), Suzu Suzuki, Rina Yamashita, Itsuki Aoki & Akira Kurogame beat Maika, HANAKO, Xena, Waka Tsukiyama & Rian. Order of elimination: Tsukiyama by Aoki, Xena by Aoki, Aoki by HANAKO, HANAKO & Yamashita together, Suzuki & Maika by time limit draw, Rian by Kurogame. Mi Vida Loca wins. This was changed from a planned 10-woman tag match due to the continued absence of Bozilla (unspecified injury).
Match 6: Goddesses Of Stardom Champions Natsuko Tora & Ruaka beat Hanan & Bea Priestley to retain the titles. Tora pinned Hanan after a swanton bomb. V5 for the champs.
Match 7: Wonder Of Stardom Champion Konami beat Ami Sohrei by submission to retain the title. V3 for Konami. Next up: Hina.
Main Event: World Of Stardom Champion Saya Kamitani beat Starlight Kid to retain the title. V9 for Kamitani. It was briefly stopped due to a Kamitani injury. Dislocated finger. But it was restarted and thankfully our PHENEX QUEEN will continue her reign. Next up: Kurara, who tried and failed to win the title last year around the time Kamitani retired mentor Tam Nakano. But hopefully she will fail again as we continue to Embrace The H.A.T.E. into 2026. Long reign our Queen!
The next evens is 2/15 at Fujisan Messe in Shizuoka. There will be no live broadcast.
UPDATE: After the event, it was announced that Kid & Mei Seira will be headed to Mexico in March. They will participate in CMLL on 3/6 at Arena Mexico in Mexico City and challenge for the CMLL World Women’s Tag Team Championship as part of an all-women’s event. This means they will miss part of the Cinderella Tournament although neither would likely be participating in the tournament. This may be an exchange of sorts as India Sioux (?) & Tabata from CMLL are also headed to Stardom in the near future. More details about the latter are TBA.
In a post a short time ago on social media that was shared by her mother, former longtime wrestler Kyoko Kimura, the now-annual Hana Kimura Memorial Event for 2026 has been confirmed as happening on 5/23 at Korakuen Hall in Tokyo. The date will be the 6th anniversary of her death at only 22.
All-Japan continues the Excite Series 2026 Tour today in Tokyo as the build to its upcoming Junior Heavyweight Tag Team Tournament winds down. The first half of today’s events feature tag matches with the spotlight on the Junior Heavyweights before the second half focuses on upcoming Heavyweight Tag Team and Triple Crown matches. In the middle was planned to be a grudge match of sorts as the Hokuto Army has basically imploded. Unfortunately…
There has bern a late change to the card due to Hokuto Omori being pulled off the event. Flu. He was to have faced Kumaarashi in said grudge match. Takashi is the replacement.
Today’s event will be held at Shin-Kiba 1st Ring in Tokyo and can be watched LIVE on AJPW.TV. You will also be able to watch the first 3 matches FOR FREE on YouTube. The event is a legit advance sellout. It’s not yet known if there will be any commentary. There are 6 matches scheduled with an intermission at the halfway point so even with the break the event probably won’t run longer than 2 1/2 hours, and should be closer to 2 hours. The longest it could go would be just under 3 hours.
Today’s lineup: Go Shiozaki & Shotaro Ashino vs. Seigo Tachibana & Yuko Miyamoto MUSASHI & Shota Kofuji vs. Dan Tamura & Hikaru Sato Atsuki Aoyagi & Rising Hayato vs. Seiki Yoshioka & Yuya Susumu Ibtermission Takashi vs. Kumaarashi Ren Ayabe, Talos & Yuma Anzai vs. Daisuke Sekimoto, Hideki Suzuki & Kengo Mashimo Kento Miyahara, Ryuki Honda & Ryo Inoue vs. Jun Saito, Naruki Doi & Senor Saito
