The announced paid attendance was 191, a full house/near sellout.

The next event is Saturday at Takanashi Elementary School in Saitama for a free mini-event. This event is weather permitting, it will be held in light rain but cancelled if there is severe weather. If it goes on as planned, there will be no live broadcast.

The next official event, above one aside, is Monday at Higashin Arena (Sumida City Gym) in Tokyo, which will also be a free event with Aoki-Brookes for the KO-D Openweight Championship. Because of the time change in the US this weekend, live streaming on WRESTLE UNIVERSE will begin Sunday at 8 PM PT/11 PM ET (1 hour earlier) and I expect to be able to do live results.

The promotion also announced the 11/9 US event in Seattle, WA will be LIVE on Triller/FITE. DDT says it will be part of the Triller+ subscription package, which is $7.99/month and start at 8 PM PT/11 PM ET. There will be no WRESTLE UNIVERSE broadcast at this time. Plans for the TJPW event that day at 2 PM PT in Seattle are TBA but no live UNIVERSE stream.

UPDATE: For 11/9 the TBA in the DDT Universal Championship 3-way against champion MAO & Miyu Yamashita has been announced-Mike Bailey.

Today’s event was held at Shinjuku Face in Tokyo and can be watched on demand on WRESTLE UNIVERSE.

The paid attendance has not been announced but it was very close to a legit sellout if it didn’t get there. Only a few same-day tickets were left.

Match 5: In a Mascara Contra Mascarra (Mask vs. Mask Match), Alejandro beat Cristobal. As a result, Cristobal loses his mask. And was revealed to be…Black Menso-re! Although he quickly put that mask on as the lights went out so his real face was only visible for a split second.

Main Event: Ulka Sasaki beat Masaaki Mochizuki by submission.

There will be no live broadcast. After this event they have a stretch where 10 of the next 11 events will be streamed live (in fact, the only 2 non-live events left in 2024 are this one, 11/9 and 12/8. That means live and immediate on demand for 11 of the next 14 events. Note the live broadcast for 11/17-Saito retirement-will probably be English only on WRESTLE UNIVERSE and thus edited due to ABEMA exclusives)
