DDT ran two separate events today in Kumamoto, a traditional event and a special one-match event held inside a hot spring, the type of event only DDT can hold.
Today’s first event was held at Kumamoto Castle Hall Civic Hall in Kumamoto and should be available on demand on WRESTLE UNIVERSE at a later date. There was no live broadcast for either event.
The announced paid attendance was 331, a legit sellout.
The card underwent several late changes due to Chris Brookes being a late removal due to injury.
Match 1: MAO beat Toui Kojima.
Match 2: Yuki Ueno & Takao Soma beat Danshoku Dieno & Yuki Iino and Toru Owashi & Kazuki Hirata in a 3-way, when Ueno pinned Hirata.
Match 3: Shinya Aoki & Shunma Katsumata beat Akito & Hideki Okatani. Aoki pinned Okatani with a crucifix.
Match 4: Maya Yukihi beat Saki Akai.
Match 5: Daisuke Sasaki, MJ Pawl & KANON beat Kazusada Higuchi, Yukio Sakaguchi & Yuya Koroku. Sasaki beat Koroku with a crossface.
Match 6: Yuji Hino beat Yukio Naya.
Main Event: Tetsuya Endo, Jun Akiyama & Yusuke Okada beat HARASHIMA, Naomi Yoshimura & Yuki Ishida. Endo pinned Ishida after Burning Star Press.
Second event: The other event was held at Kumamoto Castle Natural Hot Spring and had only one match.
The announced paid attendance was 30, a legit sellout.
Result: In a Falls Count Anywhere Match with No Time Limit, Shunma Katsumata & Toui Kojima beat Shinya Aoki & Yukio Naya. Katsumata pinned Aoki after Heat Wave WER!! Total match time was 52:58 and lots of ridiculous comedy galore. It will be a must-watch when it eventually comes to WRESTLE UNIVERSE.
The next event is “What Are You Doing 2022” Wednesday at Korakuen hall in Tokyo. It will be headlined by DDT Extreme and Universal Championship matches, and also scheduled is a battle royal for the DDT Ironman Heavymetalweight Championship, the promotion’s 24/7 comedy title. Live streaming on WRESTLE UNIVERSE will begin Wednesday at 2:30 AM PT/5:30 AM ET. This is the final live broadcast before CyberFight Festival ’22.
