DDT continues their year-opening tour with a house show in Sendai, complete with an “Only In DDT” plot twist from yesterday that forced a late change to the card.
Today’s event was held at Miyagino Ward Cultural Center in Sendai and will be available on demand on WRESTLE UNIVERSE at a later date. There was no live broadcast.
The announced paid attendance was 198, a full house/near sellout.
There was an unknown last-minute change to the card because Daisuke Sasaki missed the event. No-show after “disappearing” following a post-event phone and text chat with KANON. DDT’s English Twitter posted screenshots of what transpired.
