Time for a roundup of recent DDT news:
This past weekend in JCW in the US, DDT Extreme Champion Joey Janela successfully defended the title against Beastman in a Body Slam Challenge match. The rule was the first to successfully bodyslam your opponent wins, and Janela managed that. V3 for Janela. Video of the entire event may be available on the Game Changer Wrestling YouTube channel (it was a free livestream).
Former AEW Women's World Champion Riho will be part of Tokyo Joshi Pro's major WRESTLE PRINCESS 3 event on 10/9 at Tokyo Dome City Hall. This is expected to be TJPW's biggest event of the year, although a case can be made for GRAND PRINCESS in March when they ran Ryogoku Kokugikan for the first time.
Ganbare has announced two new events for November-an 11/3 holiday matinee at Yokohama Radiant Hall (11/2 US time) and 11/19 at 2AW Square in Chiba.
The full card for DDT on 10/8 in Chiba was announced and is headlined by a KO-D 6-Man Tag Team Championship match and two DDT-ONLY WE crossover tag matches. One is an intergender tag of Shunma Katsumata & Saki Akai vs. Hibiscus Mii & Kaji Tomato.
UPDATE: AEW star Abadon, previously announced for the 9/16 TJPW event, is now off that event. Visa issues. She was to have faced Moka Miyamoto. Mei Suruga is the replacement. Refunds will be offered. Miyu Yamashita & Maki Itoh will also miss the event. Both are on another international excursion.
