Emergency Decision! I just noticed today’s DDT Japan event is a live broadcast so while there’s time and since WrestleMania 41 Night 1 is finished live results will be below.
Today’s event will be held at Kanda Myojin Hall in Tokyo and can be watched LIVE on WRESTLE UNIVERSE. There will be no commentary except for the main event, which will have commentary from special guest Sumire Uesaka, a voice actress. There are only 5 matches scheduled and although the main event has not ime limit this event probably won’t run more than 2 hours.
Today’s lineup:
Kazusada Higuchi vs. Takao Soma
Hideki Okatani & MJ Paul vs. KANON & Tomomitsu Matsunaga
Danshoku Dieno vs. Toru Owashi & Yuki Ishida in a 3-way

Refresh this page occasionally for the latest results.
Updates below will begin at 9 PM PT/midnight ET. The live stream has already begun.
9 PM PT UPDATE: Live updates begin now.
We are LIVE from Kanda Myojin Hall in Tokyo, Japan. There is no commentary.
The paid attendance will not be announced.
When the event begins there is a promo featuring the current DDT Iron Man Heavymetalweight Champion/s and special guest ambassador Tetsu Inada. But suddenly…ambush! Which led to…
Kazuki Hirata beat DDT Iron Man Heavymetalweight Champion Masanori Kishikawa & Mizuki Takashima to win the title. Hirata becomes the 1745th Champion.
The matches-the scheduled ones anyway-begin at 9:04 PM PT/12:04 AM ET.
Match 1: Kazusada Higuchi vs. Takao Soma. 30 minute time limit
Result: Kazusada Higuchi beat Takao Soma
Match 2: Hideki Okatani & MJ Paul vs. KANON & Tomomitsu Matsunaga. 30 minute time limit
Result: Hideki Okatani & MJ Paul beat KANON & Tomomitsu Matsunaga. Okatani pinned Matsunaga.
Quick break for GM Imabayashi & Tetsu Inada announcements.
Match 3: Danshoku Dieno vs. Toru Owashi & Yuki Ishida in a 3-way. 30 minute time limit
Result: Danshoku Dieno beat Toru Owashi & Yuki Ishida in a 3-way by beating Ishida. Comedy match of course which didn’t go well for GM Imabayashi.
Match 4: HARASHIMA vs. Keigo Nakamura. 30 minute time limit
Result: HARASHIMA beat Keigo Nakamura
Intermission. The main event will follow afterwards (probably 10-15 minutes).
The event resumes at 10:21 PM PT/1:21 AM ET. There will be commentary for the final match.
Main event: 7 man battle royal. Apparently all participants have their hair done like the idol girls that are guests. No time limit
Order of elimination: Akito (pinfall), Chris Brookes (over the top rope), Takeshi Masada (over the top rope), Yuki Ueno (pinfall), Yuya Koroku (over the top rope), To-y (pinfall).
Result: Kazuki Hirata won. The winner’s prize was a matching idol outfit the guests wear. He even put it on to for photo ops. As it seemed to be wrapping up though, Pocotan came out. He attacked Hirata but Inada tossed the head away sending Pocotan scurrying away. Which led to…
Sumire Uesaka beat DDT Iron Man Heavymetalweight Champion Kazuki Hirata to win the title. Uesaka becomes the 1746th Champion.
The event ended with Hirata still laid out in the ring, not coming to until the feed cut away.
After WrestleMania Night 1 wrapped up and felt like a bit of a letdown for the most part, this was the classic DDT comedy we needed. A perfect way to wrap up another full day-and week-of wrestling.
The next event is Wednesday at Ueno Park Outdoor Stage. There will be no live broadcast.
