DDT began their June schedule and build to their next signature event today in Tokyo.
Today’s event was held at Shinjuku Face in Tokyo and can be watched on demand on WRESTLE UNIVERSE.
The paid attendance was not announced.
Before the event, a signing ceremony for a KO-D Tag Team Championship match on 6/21 in Nagoya was held.
Match 1: In a 2/3 Falls Match, Sanshiro Takagi & Akito beat Yuki Ueno & Shunma Katsumata 2-0. This was changed at match time from a regular match at Takagi’s request. Fall 1-Takagi pinned Katsumata. Fall 2-In a Falls Count Anywhere match, Takagi pinned Katsumata. They kept fighting all over the place afterwards.
Match 2: Hideki Okatani, MJ Paul & Illusion beat Takeshi Masada, Yuya Koroku & Daichi Sato and Danshoku Dieno, KANON & Naomi Yoshimura in a 3-way when Illusion pinned Koroku. Afterwards, Illusion demanded a KO-D 6-Man Tag Team Championship rematch for beating the champs. That match will happen on 6/21.
Match 3: Junta Miyawaki 3 Match Trial: Junta Miyawaki beat Kazuki Hirata. Miyawaki is now 2-0 in the trial. The last match in the series is against Dieno on 6/10.
Match 4: MAO & Yukio Naya beat Jun Akiyama & Tomomitsu Matsunaga. MAO pinned Matsunaga after Assault Loveheart.
Afterwards the post-match 1 brawl continued into the ring again…and outside the ring again.
Match 5: Shinya Aoki beat Viente Maligno. Afterwards, Aoki unmasked Maligno, revealing him to actually be Keigo Nakamura. Afterwards, Nakamura was allowed to put the mask on and continue to be Maligno.
Main Event: Chris Brookes, HARASHIMA, Antonio Honda & Hinata Kasai beat Daichi Sato, To-y, Yuni & Yuki Ishida. Honda pinned Yuni with Samson Clutch
During the closing announcements by Hirata, the post-match 1 brawl continued into the ring area yet again as apparently they were going to see that fall 3 out. Which led to…
Apparent impromptu Fall 3 from Match 1 that went on for about 100 minutes: Takagi pinned Katsumata. This ultimately led to Takagi vs. MAO for 6/28 at Korakuen Hall.
The next event is Saturday at Shinjuku Takashimaya JR Station in Tokyo. This is a free outdoor event with 4 matches planned including a Tokyo Joshi Pro match and other happenings. There will be no live broadcast. On demand Tuesday.
