DDT ran a standalone event yesterday in Niigata with another DDT Extreme Championship match.
Yesterday’s event was held at Niigata City Higashi-ku Plaza in Niigata and will be available on demand on WRESTLE UNIVERSE Wednesday. There was no live broadcast.
The paid attendance was not announced but it was a legit advance sellout.
There were last-second changes to the card due to Takao Soma being pulled off last-minute. The always-vague poor health.
Match 1: Yuni & Daichi Sato beat Takeshi Masada & Kazuma Sumi. Yuni pinned Sumi after Messiah DDT.
Match 2: HARASHIMA beat Danshoku Dieno & Kazuki Hirata in a 3-way by pinning Hirata.
Match 3: Daisuke Sasaki, Hideki Okatani, MJ Paul & Illusion beat Jun Akiyama, Akito, Shunma Katsumata & Yukio Naya. Sasaki beat Katsumata with a mystical crossface.
Match 4: Yuki Ueno beat Yuya Koroku.
Match 5: Kazusada Higuchi & Yuki Ishida beat Chris Brookes & Antonio Honda and MAO & KANON in a 3-way when Higuchi pinned Honda.
Main Event: In a 3 Falls Deathmatch with different rules for each fall, To-y beat DDT Extreme Champion Super Sasadango Machine to win the title. To-y becomes the 63rd DDT Extreme Champion. Fall 1: In a match where the first to spit milk out of their mouth loses, Machine won. Fall 2: In a match where the first to put their opponent into a trash can wins, To-y won. Fall 3: In a match where the total number of chops into the opponent’s back is counted and whoever delivers the 100th total chop wins, To-y won. To-y wins 2-1.
The next event is CHARISMANIA 2, the second Daisuke Sasaki Produced event, under that label, Wednesday at Shinjuku Face in Tokyo. Live streaming on WRESTLE UNIVERSE will begin at 3 AM PT/6 AM ET.
