DDT is running their monthly Tokyo signature event right now and is wrapping it up. I normally would have done live results since it’s a weekend matinee (and was a 7:30 PM PT start time) but was unable to this time due to a schedule conflict and results aren’t available yet, but here is some breaking news/fallout from today:
Shinya Aoki is joining the promotion effective 11/3. Apparently he’s been a freelancer prior despite semi-regular appearances the last few years.
Yuki Iino’s final DDT match on 11/3 is official-his final opponent will be Yukio Naya. Iino will be moving to Pro Wrestling NOAH full-time after that event.
A new ring announcer and 3 new trainees were introduced during the event. The new wrestlers are scheduled to debut in December.
More news and full results when they become available.
UPDATE: Here are the full results:
Today’s event was held at Korakuen Hall in Tokyo and can be watched on demand on WRESTLE UNIVERSE.

Impromptu Match: Yuki Iino beat Danshoku Dieno. The Danshoku DIeno that was part of those deplorable Pheromones. After all, Iino defecting to NOAH means one thing that already seems permanent given he transformed himself into a slightly balder & darker-skinned Manabu Soya…NOT SEXY!!!
The next event is Saturday at Yokohama Radiant Hall in Yokohama. Live streaming on WRESTLE UNIVERSE will begin at 1 AM PT/4 AM ET.
