DDT Pro Wrestling 1/25/2026 LIVE Results

DDT runs their monthly signature Tokyo event today, “Mission In Battle-New Year”. A very unique main event headlines today as it’s a double title match involving KO-D Openweight & DDT Universal Champion Yuki Ueno defending the titles against Daisuke Sasaki & Chris Brookes in a 3-way…actually it’s matches because it’s a double 3-way match of sorts. The first wrestler to get a win will become the DDT Universal Champion, then the match continues with the second wrestler to get a win becoming the KO-D Openweight Champion so Ueno could retain both titles or could easily lose both. A KO-D Tag Team Championship match precedes that as MAO & KANON defend against Yuki Iino & Yukio Naya, who lost the titles to the champs in a 4-way without getting pinned or submitted. And further down…what’s this? The return of our GOD…Yoshihiko!!!

There have been last-minute changes to the event because, unfortunately for the ladies, Kaisei Takechi is now off the event. Infectious conjunctivitis. Refunds are being offered to anyone who bought tickets after 12/21, which is when Takechi was announced for the event.

Today’s event will be held at Korakuen Hall in Tokyo and can be watched LIVE on WRESTLE UNIVERSE in Japanese. Japanese comedy duo Elf will be the special guests on commentary. There are the usual 7 matches but the first 4 matches will have shorter time limits than usual, but this still should wind up being a “standard” Korakuen event running 2 1/2-3 hours, but not more than about 3 1/2 hours.

Today’s lineup:
Shinya Aoki vs. Junta Miyawaki
Takeshi Masada, Yuya Koroku, Yuni, Rukiya & Hinata Kasai vs. Ryoma Tsukamoto*, Daichi Sato, Yuki Ishida, Illusion & Kazuma Sumi
Hideki Okatani & MJ Paul vs.Naomi Yoshimura & O-MENZ Kumadori
Minoru Suzuki, Danshoku Dieno & Yoshihiko vs. Super Sasadango Machine, Kazuki Hirata & Antonio Honda
Konosuke Takeshita & Jun Akiyama vs. HARASHIMA & To-y**
KO-D Tag Team Champions MAO & KANON vs. Yuki Iino & Yukio Naya for the titles
KO-D Openweight & DDT Universal Champion Yuki Ueno vs. Daisuke Sasaki & Chris Brookes in a 2 Falls 3-way for the titles. The first fall will be for the DDT Universal Championship. The second fall will be for the KO-D Openweight Championship.

*-This was to have been To-y but he was pulled to replace Takechi. Tsukamoto is the replacement.
**-This was to have been Takechi pre-removal. To-y is the replacement.

Updates below will begin at 6:30 PM PT/9:30 PM ET. The live stream is scheduled to begin 20 minutes before the event.

6:10 PM PT UPDATE: The live stream has begun. We should be going to the venue in 10-15 minutes.

6:20 PM PT UPDATE: Live updates begin now.

We are LIVE from Korakuen Hall in Tokyo, Japan. Your hosts are Haruo Murata, Kagehiro Osano & special guests Arakawa & Haru, aka Japanese comedy duo Elf. Arakawa has quite the press-on nails and ponytails that make her look like she could pass for Harley Quinn. Looks the part too.

The paid attendance will not be announced after the event but it’s hard to say how accurate it may have been due to refunds. (Based on what I saw later in the event, either not a lot of refunds or they were re-sold as the venue looked at least 95% full)

The matches should begin in 15-20 minutes. NwA Jr. live begins 5 minutes before the scheduled start time, catching the guests on commentary off guard as it was maybe a few seconds early.

The matches begin at 6:35 PM PT/9:35 PM ET.

Match 1: Shinya Aoki vs. Junta Miyawaki. 15 minute time limit
Result: Time Limit Draw

Your new host for now is Satoshi Dairaku.

Haruo Murata returns as host now.

Match 4: Minoru Suzuki, Danshoku Dieno & Yoshihiko vs. Super Sasadango Machine, Kazuki Hirata & (a surprisingly gray-bearded!) Antonio Honda. 30 minute time limit
Result: Minoru Suzuki, Danshoku Dieno & Yoshihiko beat Super Sasadango Machine, Kazuki Hirata & Antonio Honda before Suzuki even got to the ring. Dieno pinned Hirata. GM Imabayashi immediately rushed to the rung EN FUEGO. Suzuki didn’t even get to KAZE NI NARE!!! Which led to…
Match 4 (again): Minoru Suzuki, Danshoku Dieno & Yoshihiko vs. Super Sasadango Machine, Kazuki Hirata & Antonio Honda. 30 minute time limit
Result: Minoru Suzuki, Danshoku Dieno & Yoshihiko beat Super Sasadango Machine, Kazuki Hirata & Antonio Honda almost immediately. Suzuki beat Machine with an armbar. Yoshihiko never made it out. GM Imabayashi EN FUEGO AGAIN. Which led to…
Match 4 (again): Minoru Suzuki, Danshoku Dieno & Yoshihiko vs. Super Sasadango Machine, Kazuki Hirata & Antonio Honda. 30 minute time limit
Result: Minoru Suzuki, Danshoku Dieno & Yoshihiko beat Super Sasadango Machine, Kazuki Hirata & Antonio Honda. Yoshihiko pinned Hirata after a huracanrana.

Afterwards, GM Imabayashi called Hirata back to the ring. He announced that on 3/22 at Korakuen Hirata would face Konosuke Takeshita.

The comedy girls take a break from commentary for the next match.

Match 5: Konosuke Takeshita & Jun Akiyama vs. HARASHIMA & To-y. 30 minute time limit
Result: Konosuke Takeshita & Jun Akiyama beat HARASHIMA & To-y. Takeshita pinned To-y.

Match 6: KO-D Tag Team Champions MAO & KANON vs. Yuki Iino & Yukio Naya for the titles. 1 Hour time limit
Result: KO-D Tag Team Champions MAO & KANON beat Yuki Iino & Yukio Naya to retain the titles. KANON pinned Iino. V3 for the champs. Afterwqards, it appears Iino & Naya aligned themselves with Strange Love Connection. The winners wqere also seconded by Yuzuki Hoshimoto, who provided eye candy and a whip she thankfully didn’t have to use.

Haruo Murata returns as host for the main event. Akito is now a guest on commentary, replacing Takagi. The comedy girls are done for the day.

Main Event: KO-D Openweight & DDT Universal Champion Yuki Ueno vs. Daisuke Sasaki & Chris Brookes in a 2 match 3-way for the titles. The first match will be for the DDT Universal Championship. The second match will be for the KO-D Openweight Championship. 1 Hour time limit

Sumo-January 2026 Grand Sumo Tournament Day 14 Results (1/24/2026) (Top 2 Tiers)

Here are the quick results from today’s Day 14-the penultimate day-of the January 2026 Grand Sumo Tournament in Tokyo:
Key: M-Maegashira, K-Komusubi, S-Sekiwake, O-Ozeki, Y-Yokozuna, J-Juryo. Ms-Makushita

Makuuchi (top tier):
Kotoshoho (M10) beat Mitakeumi (M14)
Gonoyama (M9) beat Hatsuyama (M17)
Asahakuryu (M17) beat Shodai (M8)
Midorifuji (M12) beat Kinbozan (M8)
Oshoma (M7) beat Ryuden (M15)
Fujinokawa (M7) beat Asakoryu (M15)
Oshoumi (M16) beat Hiradoumi (M6)
Tobizaru (M13) beat Onokatsu (M6)
Tamawashi (M5) beat Tomokaze (M13)
Churanoumi (M5) beat Roga (M9)
Chiyoshoma (M11) beat Takanosho (M3)
Wakatakakage (M2) beat Daieisho (M4)
Tokihayate (M10) beat Ichiyamamoto (M1)
Yoshinofuji (M1) beat Shishi (M14)
Ura (M2) beat Oho (K)
Wakamotoharu (K) beat Asanoyama (M16)
Atamifuji (M4) beat Kirishima (S)
Abi (M12) beat Takayasu (S)
Hoshoryu (Y) beat Kotozakura (O)
Onosato (Y) beat Aonishiki (O)
Leader: Aonishiki, Atamifuji (11-3)
Of note: The championship will be decided tomorrow, but it won’t be simple because Aonishiki-Atamifuji already happened on Day 12. So here are the championship scenarios:
1-If either Aonishiki (Kotozakura) or Atamifuji (Oshoumi) win AND the other loses, the winner is the champion.
2-If both win, there will be a playoff.
3-if both lose, there will be a 4-way playoff with Aonishiki, Atamifuji, Oshoumi and the Kirishima-Abi winner as both are now 10-4 so the winner becomes a co-leader. But if Onosato wins the Yokozuna Showdown tomorrow in this scenario, there would be a FIVE-WAY playoff!
Atamifuji is up first tomorrow so Aonishiki will know his destiny before he faces Kotozakura. Kirishima-Abi happens right before Aonishiki-Kotozakura, and of course Onosato-Hoshoryu is last and remember that despite Onosato’s playoff win history between them still favors Hoshoryu.
At the bottom, Sadanoumi & Kotoeiho will be the Juryo men up for tomorrow’s final day, both trying to get back to the top tier in March-Sadanoumi already has promotion at 9-5 but probably does need that 10th win (Asahakuryu) to move up from J4, Kotoeiho is 7-7 at J1 so he must win (Ryuden).
Also of note: With this win Tamawashi (finally) moves into 9th place all-time in top tier wins with 707, breaking a tie with Musashimaru (now Musashigawa). A long way to go to 8th which is 777.

Juryo:
Toshinofuji (Ms2) beat Hakuyozan (J14)
Meisei (J8) beat Dewanoryu (J13)
Kotokuzan (J6) beat Nishikigi (J12)
Nishinoryu (J9) beat Kazuma (J14)
Kyokukaiyu (J12) beat Tamashoho (J5)
Takerufuji (J5) beat Hidenoumi (J13)
Sadanoumi (J4) beat Kayo (J9)
Kitanowaka (J8) beat Shonannoumi (J4)
Fujiryoga (J3) beat Tsurugisho (J11)
Tohakuryu (J10) beat Shirokuma (J3)
Asasuiryu (J7) beat Daiseizan (J2)
Kazekeno (J10) beat Kagayaki (J2)
Wakanosho (J11) beat Kotoeiho (J1)
Fujiseiun (J1) beat Hitoshi (J9)
Leader: Wakanosho (11-3)
Of note: The Juryo title picture is much simpler tomorrow-if Wakanosho wins (Fujiryoga), he is the champion. If Wakanosho loses and Fujiseiun wins (Tohakuryu), there will be a playoff. Wakanosho is up first and Fujiseiun is the last match of the day. Fujiseiun is headed to the top tier regardless, if Wakanosho wins the championship I don’t think 12-3 at J11 will be enough. But he should be J1 or J2 for sure, at worst J3 with top tier demotions. I don’t think Daiseizen will move up even if he clinches promotion tomorrow to finish 8-7 at J2 but Fujiryoga will have a chance if he wins to get to 10-5 at J3. With his win today it looks like Toshinofuji, the former Seihakuho, is probably getting promoted to Juryo in March for the first time. He was considered the last of the real Hakuho big-time prospects before the Isegahama takeover. As far as anyone else coming up, Himukamaru is a toss-up for a return at 4-3 from Ms2 as he is done, Fukuzaki has a chance fro Ms3 if he wins tomorrow to finish 5-2 and maybe Shimazuumi from Ms5 if he gets to 6-1. I’d like to see Okaryu have a chance as he is a stablemate of Hoshoryu and finished 6-1 (lost his first match then won all the rest) but Ms7 may be too far down. He probably goes to Ms3, maybe Ms2.

Reminder: NHK World Japan will have 90 minutes of LIVE top tier coverage, including the final matches, playoff if necessary, awards ceremony and champions’ interview, FOR FREE TONIGHT beginning at 11:30 PM PT/2:30 AM ET. NHK World Premium coverage begins at 11 PM PT/2 AM ET. I will try and do live results tonight beginning with Juryo around 9:30 PM PT/12:30 AM ET.
