Dragon Gate runs their regular monthly doubleheader today, which is a same-day doubleheader in Fukuoka. Both are standard house shows as the second event marks the halfway point of a run of 5 events in 4 days, then they’ll take a few days off before this month’s PRIME ZONE+ taping and weekend events the rest of the month before picking up the pace again before Kobe Pro Wrestling Festival 2025. The main event will continue the current Paradox vs. Z-Brats rivalry ahead of the Open The Dream Gate Championship match between Shun Skywalker & YAMATO next month. This post will have live results from the first of 2 events today.
Today’s events will be held at Acros Fukuoka in Fukuoka and can be watched LIVE on DRAGONGATE NETWORK. There will be no commentary on the main stream but also an alternate stream with wrestler commentary. You will also be able to watch the first match FOR FREE on YouTube. Yesterday’s event ran a bit longer than I anticipated, in part due to a 20 minute intermission, but I wouldn’t expect the same today due to event start times. The first event should run just over 2 hours, maybe closer to 2 1/2 hours.
Today’s lineup:
Stromg Machine J, Kzy & U-T vs. Ben-K, Hyo & Mochizuki Junior
Ultimo Dragon & Genki Horiguchi vs. Jason Lee & Yoshiki KatoRyoya Tanaka vs. Bendito (Cancelled last-second, see notes below)
Yuki Yoshioka & Dragon Dia vs. Shun Skywalker & Homare
JACKY KAMEI & Riiita vs. Flamita & Luis Mante
YAMATO, Dragon Kid, BxB Hulk & Susumu Yokosuka vs. Madoka Kikuta, Kota Minoura, KAI & ISHIN

Updates below will begin at 9 PM PT/midnight ET. The broadcast is scheduled to begin 15 minutes prior to the event. (The second event is scheduled to begin tomorrow at 1 AM PT/4 AM ET)
8:45 PM PT UPDATE: The broadcast has begun so live updates begin now.
We are LIVE from Acros Fukuoka in Fukuoka, Japan. There is no commentary. The wrestler commentary will begin with the first match.
The paid attendance will be announced after the event. The crowd is still filing in and I can only see opposite hard camera which has a few people. I think the venue’s max capacity is in the 650-700 range but they normally set up for around 500. The second show usually draws a little more in these doubleheaders, I’ll make an initial first show guess of around 400. (After seeing the crowd as the first match ended it looked pretty full so I’m gonna up my estimate to 500) (UPDATE: The announced paid attendance was 439)
The matches should begin in 20-25 minutes.
The matches begin at 9:08 PM PT/12:08 AM ET.
Match 1: Strong Machine J, Kzy & U-T vs. Ben-K, Hyo & Mochizuki Junior. 15 minute time limit
Result: Ben-K, Hyo & Mochizuki Junior beat Strong Machine J. Kzy & U-T. Ben-K pinned Kzy after a spear.
Match 2: Ultimo Dragon & Genki Horiguchi vs. Jason Lee & Yoshiki Kato. 15 minute time limit
Result: Ultimo Dragon & Genki Horiguchi beat Jason Lee & Yoshiki Kato by DQ. Kato DQ’d. Ref assault.
Match 3: Yuki Yoshioka & Dragon Dia vs. Shun Skywalker & Homare. 30 minute time limit
Result: Shun Skywalker & Homare beat Yuki Yohsioka & Dragon Dia. Skywalker pinned Yoshioka.
Intermission.
The matches resume at 10:15 PM PT/1:15 AM ET. I’m not sure what happened to change plans but it sounds like the Ryoya Tanaka-Bendito match today is off because we’re going to the semifinal match next. (Edit: Based on the intros for the next match and a pre-first match promo with appeal made to and decision granted by GM Ryo Saito, what was to have been a tag match is now a 6-man tag with Tanaka & Bendito added, thus the Tanaka-Bendito match is now off)
Match 4: JACKY KAMEI, Ryoya Tanaka & Riiita vs. Flamita, Bendito & Luis Mante. 30 minute time limit
Result: JACKY KAMEI, Ryoya Tanaka & Riiita beat Flamita, Bendito & Luis Mante. Tanaka pinned Flamita. ISHIN interference right before the end set it up (threw a chair at Flamita while on the top rope).
Main Event: YAMATO, Dragon Kid, BxB Hulk & Susumu Yokosuka vs. Madoka Kikuta, Kota Minoura, KAI & ISHIN. 1 Hour time limit
Result: Madoka Kikura, Kota Minoura, KAI & ISHIN beat YAMATO, Dragon Kid, BxB Hulk & Susumu Yokosuka. Kikuta pinned Kid after a rolling lariat.
