DDT finishes up their June schedule today with the monthly signature Tokyo event. The main event will be a KO-D Openweight Championship match as Yuki Ueno looks to keep his reign going towards his upcoming 10th Anniversary event, today defending against former champion Shinya Aoki. The rest of the card is highlighted by what may be the first-ever No Referee Match between Sanshiro Takagi & MAO. So how will a winner be decided, you ask? By the fans. The fans will act as referees and a majority will be required to count a pinfall to win. No DQ’s no countouts, no submissions, but if the majority can’t decide? Well…Pro Wrestling, Everybody!
Today’s event will be held at Korakuen Hall in Tokyo and can be watched LIVE on WRESTLE UNIVERSE in Japanese. Comedian Yui Yoshida will be a special guest on commentary. There is a pre-show match planned before the event begins, so taking that and time limits into account this will be on the slightly longer end of a normal Korakuen event with a running time or probably just under 3 hours.

If that is the case, if Katsumata is the one beaten whoever beats him, or anyone else who may manage to do so, will win the title. Which could even be KIMIHIRO or YUZUKI. Or anyone else.
