DDT hosts a Super Japan Pro Wrestling event today, the latest Sanshiro Takagi Produced project event featuring only non-DDT affiliated wrestlers outside of Takagi himself. And that of course means the fellow oldest member at 57 years old, New Japan wrestler Yuji Nagata, participation as well as some familiar other veterans (Taiji Ishimori will also participate from New Japan)and also a women’s match, and surely plenty of comedy to go along with it and wrap up 2025 on a lighter note.

Today’s event will be held at Shinjuku Face in Tokyo and can be watched LIVE on WRESTLE UNIVERSE. There will be no commentary. There are 6 matches scheduled with no intermissions so the longest the event could run is about 3 hours, but it probably will be closer to 2 hours. Although the main event does have an always-long & unpredictable Kuroshio TOKYO Japan entrance, so who knows.

Today’s lineup:
Ryoma Tsukamoto vs. Shota
DJ Nira vs. Muscle Sakai (Super Sasadango Machine)
Mio Shirai vs. Marika Kobashi
MIKAMI & TakashI Sasaki vs. “Shows” & “Reiwa” 2
Brahmans Shu & Kei & Taiji Ishimori vs. Shuji Kondo, Ken Ohka & Mac Matsushita
Sanshiro Takagi, Jun Kasai & Munenori Sawa vs. Yuji Nagata, Kuroshio TOKYO Japan & Fuminori Abe

Updates below will begin at 7 PM PT/10 PM ET. The live stream is scheduled to begin 15 minutes before the event.

6:45 PM PT UPDATE: The live stream has begun. We should be going to the venue in 10-15 minutes.

7 PM PT UPDATE: Live updates begin now.

We are LIVE from Shinjuku Face in Tokyo, Japan. There is no commentary.

The paid attendance will not be announced after the event. Based on advance ticket sales, it could be a legit sellout with only a few same-day tickets left. If not it will be very close. So it’s safe to say full capacity and they’ll proabbly do 475-500.

Sanshiro Takagi comes out to open the event. Quick greeting and start shout.

The matches begin at 7:05 PM PT/10:05 PM ET.

Match 1: Ryoma Tsukamoto vs. Shota. 30 minute time limit
Result: Shota beat Ryoma Tsukamoto

Match 2: DJ Nira (maybe the only wrestler without entrance music) vs. Muscle Sakai. 30 minute time limit
Result: Unclear. Comedy match where they kept turning the lights on & off and inconclusive ending. Maybe Nira was declared winner as there was no music.

Match 3: Mio Shirai vs. Marika Kobashi. 30 minute time limit
Result: Mio Shirai beat Marika Kobashi

Match 4: MIKAMI & TakashI Sasaki vs. “Showa” 2 & “Reiwa” 2. 30 minute time limit
Result: MIKAMI & Takashi Sasaki beat Showa 2 & Reiwa 2. MIKAMI pinned Showa (I think).

Match 5: Brahmans Shu & Kei & Taiji Ishimori (New Japan) vs. Shuji Kondo, Ken Ohka & Mac Matsushita. 30 minute time limit
Result: Brahmans Shu & Kei & TaijI Ishimori beat Shuji Kondo, Ken Ohka & Mac Matsushita. Ishimori beat Matsushita with Bone Lock.

Break for ring cleaning (there was no intermission scheduled but it looks like we’re having one now before the last match).

We return after about a 12 minute break.

Main Event: Sanshiro Takagi, Jun Kasai & Munenori Sawa vs. Yuji Nagata (Nre Japan), Kuroshio TOKYO Japan & Fuminori Abe. 30 minute time limit
Result: Yuji Nagata, Kuroshio TOKYO Japan & Fuminori Abe beat Sanshiro Takagi, Jun Kasai & Munenori Sawa. Nagata beat Takagi with Nagata Lock 2.

This event was basically the comedy portion of DDT with just a little actual wrestling thrown in. If you like the wacky humor this is your kind of event.

There probably will be more such events in 2026, just not sure when yet.

The next event, the first of 2026, is Saturday at Korakuen Hall. The event is a legit advance sellout. Live streaming on WRESTLE UNIVERSE will begin at 1:30 AM PT/4:30 AM ET.

DDT wrapped up their 2025 this weekend with a house show doubleheader in Nagoya.

Both events were held at Imaike Gas Hall in Nagoya and will be available on demand on WRESTLE UNIVERSE Tuesday (yesterday’s event) and Wednesday (today’s event). There were no live broadcasts.

The paid attendance was not announced. Today’s event was a legit sellout.

Yesterday:
Match 1: Yuki Iino beat Hinata Kasai.

Match 2: Danshoku Dieno & Yuni beat Kazuki Hirata & Takao Soma. Yuni pinned Hirata after a firebird splash.

Match 3: Kazusada Higuchi, Naomi Yoshimura & Yuki Ishida beat Hideki Okatani, MJ Paul & Illusion. Ishida pinned Illusion after Flame Palm.

Match 4: Jun Akiyama, HARASHIMA & Akito beat Yukio Naya, Yuya Koroku & Daichi Sato. Akito beat Koroku with Goliath Bird Eater.

Match 5: MAO & KANON beat Daisuke Sasaki & Demus. KANON pinned Demus after The Guru-Guru Driver.

Main Event: Chris Brookes, Antonio Honda & Takeshi Masada beat Yuki Ueno, To-y & Kazuma Sumi. Masada pinned Sumi after a Brookes Praying Mantis Bomb.

Today:
Match 1: Yuni beat Hinata Kasai.

Match 2: Yuki Iino & Yukio Naya beat Kazuki Hirata & Akito. Naya pinned Hirata after an elbow drop.

Match 3: Chris Brookes, Antonio Honda & Takeshi Masada beat Jun Akiyama, Kazusada Higuchi & Naomi Yoshimura. Honda pinned Yoshimura.

Match 4: HARASHIMA beat Takao Soma. This was Soma’s last match before an extended absence for treatment of a knee injury he’s worked through. Post-match, Soma vowed to return some time next year. HARASHIMA provided some optimism with his signature catch phrase these days-Because It’s Training/Practicing!

Match 5: MAO & KANON beat Yuki Ueno & Danshoku Dieno. KANON pinned Dieno after a lariat.

Main Event: Daisuke Sasaki, Hideki Okatani, MJ Paul, Demus & Illusion beat KO-D 10-Man Tag Team Champions To-y, Yuya Koroku, Daichi Sato, Yuki Ishida & Kazuma Sumi to win the titles. Sasaki, Okatani, Paul, Demus & Illusion become the 11th KO-D 10-Man Tag Team Champions. Illusion pinned Sumi after a swanton bomb.

The event ended with a Dieno & Ueno mini-talk show event instead of an ending announcement. They were perhaps hoping to go for a KO-D Tag Team Championship shot, but not so much after today.

The next event is a Sanshiro Takagi Produced Super Japan Pro Wrestling event tomorrow at Shinjuku Face in Tokyo. Live streaming on WRESTLE UNIVERSE will begin TONIGHT at 7 PM PT/10 PM ET.

DDT ran their penultimate event of 2025 which was also the year’s last Tokyo event.

Today’s event was held at Shinjuku Face in Tokyo and can be watched on demand on WRESTLE UNIVERSE.

The paid attendance was not announced.

Match 1: Daichi Sato & Yuni beat Rukiya & Hinata Kasai. Yuni pinned Kasai after a firebird splash.

Match 2: Daisuke Sasaki, Hideki Okatani, MJ Paul & Demus beat Yuki Iino, Yukio Naya, Super Sasadango Machine & Takao Soma. Sasaki beat Soma with a crossface.

Match 3: O-MENZ Kunadori beat Illusion.

Match 4: KANON beat Yuya Koroku.

Match 5: In a match where no kissing was allowed for the first 5 minutes and also no pinfalls or submissions for those first 5 minutes, Sanshiro Takagi, Jun Akiyama & HARASHIMA beat Danshoku Dieno, Kazuki Hirata & Akito. HARASHIMA pinned Hirata after Blue Sword.

Match 6: Chris Brookes beat Takeshi Masada. Afterwards, it sounded like Brookes decided to disband Schadenfreude International and leave so if it still exists, it’s only Antonio Honda and maybe Masa Takanashi.

Main Event: Yuki Ueno, MAO & Kazusada Higuchi beat To-y, Kazuna Sumi & Yuki Ishida. MAO pinned Sumi.

The next event is Saturday at Imaike Gas Hall in Nagoya for a year-ending weekend doubleheader. There will be no live broadcast. On demand Tuesday.

DDT runs their final Tokyo signature event of 2025 today, RING FINALE 2025, which is a misleading title because it’s not the final event of the year. But it’s the last big one loaded with 3 title matches. First up, To-y defends the DDT Extreme Championship against Yasu Urano in a “Finish it now!! If you can’t do it now, To-y loses!!” match where a lottery is held every 2 minutes and, after that, the match can only be won by pinfall or submission using that specific technique picked from social media (except for ring outs and DQs). And it’s only 10 minutes plus if it goes the distance, Urano wins the title. The second title match is MAO & KANON defending the KO-D Tag Team Championship against the outside intruding team of Jun Masaoka & Gaia Hox. Finally, in the main event Yuki Ueno defends the KO-D Openweight Championship against Takeshi Masada (this is not a double title match).

Today’s event will be held at Korakuen Hall in Tokyo and can be watched LIVE on WRESTLE UNIVERSE in Japanese. Aya Shibata, a former member of SKE48 who is currently a freelance announcer, will be the special guest on commentary. There is a pre-show match scheduled before the event, and the Extreme rules may shorten the running time a bit, however I anticipate with the pre-show match it will have a total running time of about 3 hours.

Today’s lineup:
Pre-show:
Takao Soma, Kazuma Sumi & Yuni vs. Tomomitsu Matsunaga, Daichi Sato & Rukiya
Main show:
Minoru Suzuki & Akito vs. Jun Akiyama & Yuya Koroku
Daisuke Sasaki, Hideki Okatani, Demus & Illusion vs. Toru Owashi, Danshoku Dieno, Super Sasadango Machine & Kazuki Hirata
Shinya Aoki, Yuki Iino & Yukio Naya vs. Kazusada Higuchi, Naomi Yoshimura & Yuki Ishida and Chris Brookes, Antonio Honda & Hinata Kasai in a 3-way
Yuji Nagata (New Japan) & Sanshiro Takagi vs. HARASHIMA & Kaisei Takechi
DDT Extreme Champion To-y vs. Yasu Urano in a Finish it now!! If you can’t do it now, To-y loses!! match for the title. a lottery is held every 2 minutes and, after that, the match can only be won by pinfall or submission using that specific technique picked from social media (except for ring outs and DQs). If the match goes to a 10 minute time limit draw, Urano wins the title
KO-D Tag Team Champions MAO & KANON vs. Jun Masaoka & Gaia Hox for the titles
KO-D Openweight Champion Yuki Ueno vs. Takeshi Masada for the title

Result: Takao Soma, Kazuma Sumi & Yuni beat Tomomitsu Matsunaga, Daichi Sato & Rukiya. Soma pinned Matsunaga.

Your new host is Haruo Murata, taking over for Satoshi Dairaku.

Match 4: Yuji Nagata (New Japan) & Sanshiro Takagi vs. HARASHIMA & Kaisei Takechi. 30 minute time limit
Result: HARASHIMA & Kaisei Takechi beat Yuji Nagata & Sanshiro Takagi. Takechi pinned Takagi. Afterwards, Nagata put Takechi over before leaving and wished him good luck in his New Japan debut at the Tokyo Dome on 1/4.

Match 5: DDT Extreme Champion To-y vs. Yasu Urano in a Finish it now!! If you can’t do it now, To-y loses!! match for the title. a lottery is held every 2 minutes and, after that, the match can only be won by pinfall or submission using that specific technique picked from social media (except for ring outs and DQs). If the match goes to a time limit draw, Urano wins the title. 10 minute time limit
Result: DDT Extreme Champion To-y beat Yasu Urano to retain the title. V6 for To-y. With a big assist to the Matsui referee.

Match 6: KO-D Tag Team Champions MAO & KANON vs. Jun Masaoka & Gaia Hox for the titles. 1 Hour time limit
Result: KO-D Tag Team Champions MAO & KANON beat Jun Masaoka & Gaia Hox to retain the titles. KANON pinned Masaoka. V2 for the champs. As the winners finished their post-match promo, Yuki Iino came out and speared MAO. Yukio Naya was right behind. With microphone. Challenge issued, they want the titles back. It’s now official for after the new year.

Main Event: KO-D Openweight Champion Yuki Ueno vs. Takeshi Masada for the title. 1 Hour time limit
Result: KO-D Openweight Champion Yuki Ueno beat Takeshi Masada to retain the title. V4 for Ueno. Next up: Sasaki. Low blow to deliver his message then a beatdown until Brookes made the save. And bitch slapped Ueno for good measure. Following some bantering, Akito made it official-the next defense will be a 3-way. And for both titles with multiple falls is what it sounds like.

The next event is Wednesday at Shinjuku Face. Live streaming on WRESTLE UNIVERSE will begin at 2 AM PT/5 AM ET.

UPDATE: Both title matches hinted at above will happen on 1/25. The 3-way will be an Irregular 2 Falls Double Title match-the first fall will be for the DDT Universal Championship, then the second fall will be for the KO-D Openweight Championship. Kaisei Takechi participation was also announced for 1/25.

UPDATE 2: In post-event backstage comments, it was revealed that Masada announced he will leave the Shadenfreude International faction after the 1/3 Korakuen event. That means it’ll be just Chris Brookes & Antonio Honda for now (and Masa Takanashi who remains out).

Good news for DDT fans and especially those of NwA Jr., their male version of Tokyo Joshi Pro’s Up Up Girls-Yuni, who has been absent since summer, will return on 12/21 and be back to full-time going forward. Yuni went on hiatus in August to focus on education, specifically university/college entrance exams and preparation. Those were successful and he will now return to the promotion next week.

As a result, the 12/21 Korakuen Hall card has been changed for his return. What was a pre-show match of Takao Soma & Kazuma Sumi vs. Daichi Sato & Rukiya will now be Soma, Sumi & Yuni vs. Sato, Rukiya & Tokokitsu Matsunaga

DDT began their December house show tour today in Tokyo with an event oddly titled GO UPDATE 2025.

Today’s event was held at Shinjuku Face in Tokyo and can be watched on demand on WRESTLE UNIVERSE.

The paid attendance was not announced.

Match 1: Takao Soma & Shota beat Yuya Koroku & Hinata Kasai. Soma pinned Kasai after Mad Splash. Although DDT announced Soma would be out several months due to treatment for a knee injury that absence will not start until 1/1 so he’ll finish the year before going on hiatus.

Match 2; Chris Brookes & Antonio Honda beat Danshoku Dieno & Kazuki Hirata. Honda pinned Hirata.

Match 3: Yuji Iino & Yukio Naya beat Hideki Okatani & Demus. Naya pinned Demus after The World’s Largest Backdrop.

Match 4: Daisuke Sasaki, MJ Paul & Illusion beat HARASHIMA, Akito & O-MENZ Kumadori. Illusion pinned Kumadori after a swanton bomb. Afterwards, Illusion demanded a potential final fight-a match against Kumadori, which may have already happened had it not been for a Kumadori injury earlier this year. That match will happen on 12/24.

Match 5: Kazusada Higuchi, Naomi Yoshinura & Yuki Ishida beat Sanshiro Takagi, Jun Akiyama & Tomomitsu Matdunaga. Ishida pinned Matsunaga.

Match 6: Jun Masaoka, Gaia Hox & Rukiya beat MAO, KANON & Kazuma Sumi. Masaoka inner Sumi after F-DRIVE 2.

Main Event: Yuki Ueno & To-y beat Taleshi Masada & Yasu Urano by ref stoppage (TKO). Ueno beat Masada with a blackout sleeper. Afterwards, Urano stole the DDT Extreme Championship belt from To-y and declared himself UNOFFICIAL Champion, leading Akito to announce an OFFICIAL title match where To-y will defend against Urano. That match will happen on 12/21 at Korakuen Hall. Rules TBA.

The next event is 12/14 at Yume Messe Miyagi in Sendai. There will be no live broadcast. On demand on 12/17.

If you watch DDT events, you may know that when he’s not wrestling Takao Soma is also the manager of Dropkick, a sports bar run by the promotion (there are a few such wrestling-themed others in Japan, such as Count 2.99 in-I think-Osaka and Sumire Natsu’s NatsuBar in Tokyo). He might have to put that on hold for a while as he won’t be wrestling for a time either. Left knee, which is an existing injury. Out indefinitely starting in January for treatment. It’s not yet known how long Soma may be out but it’s safe to say months.

More as it becomes available.

DDT runs their monthly Tokyo signature event today, this month’s dubbed “BE AMBITIOUS-Autumn Battle Rhapsody”. 3 title matches headline today’s event, and you could argue it’s 4 because the main event is a double title match-as both the KO-D Openweight Champion and DDT Universal Champion Yuki Ueno will be defending both titles today against challenger Super Sasadango Machine, or masked comedy version of Muscle Sakai if you prefer. The other title matches feature KO-D Tag Team Champions MAO & KANON vs. Daisuke Sasaki & Hideki Okatani for the titles and DDT Extreme Champion To-y vs. Sanshiro Takagi for the title. For the Extreme title match, it will be a Weapon Gamble with these rules-Using Takagi’s pocket money as seed capital, each wrestler engages in public gambling beforehand to increase funds and purchase weapons. During the match, these weapons are randomly deployed at set intervals. Simultaneously, some form of gambling occurs in the ring, and only the victorious wrestler may use that weapon. If a wrestler who lost the gamble uses it, it would likely mean a DQ. Victory is by normal wrestling rules. Additionally, Konosuke Takeshita will return for a match today against Shinya Aoki.

Today’s event will be held at Korakuen Hall in Tokyo and can be watched LIVE on WRESTLE UNIVERSE in Japanese. Actress Ami Tomite will be a special guest on commentary. There is a pre-show match scheduled before the event so it will be a longer Korakuen event than normal, I would anticipate a total running time of at least 3 hours.

Today’s lineup:
Pre-show:
Akito, Daichi Sato & Yuya Koroku vs. Takao Soma, Rukiya & Hinata Kasai
Main show:
Danshoku Dieno, Antonio Honda & Kazuma Sumi vs. Kazusada Higuchi, Toru Owashi & Kazuki Hirata

Result: Kazusada Higuchi, Toru Owashi & Kazuki Hirata beat Danshoku Dieno, Antonio Honda & Kazuma Sumi in moments before Dieno even got to the ring. Higuchi beat Honda with a claw hold. GM Imabayashi immediately with microphone to the ring afterwards. EN FUEGO. Get him a throat lozenge! He did Dieno’s intro again. Which led to…

Match 4: DDT Extreme Champion To-y vs. Sanshiro Takagi in a Weapon Gamble Match for the title. Using Takagi’s pocket money as seed capital, each wrestler engages in public gambling beforehand to increase funds and purchase weapons. During the match, these weapons are randomly deployed at set intervals. Simultaneously, some form of gambling occurs in the ring, and only the victorious wrestler may use that weapon. If a wrestler who lost the gamble uses it, it would likely mean a DQ. Victory is by normal wrestling rules. 1 Hour time limit. The weapons: First, a bunch of “Unpaid Wrestlers” Second, Takagi’s briefcase.. Third, Dramatic Dream aka Takagi’s super-bicycle. Fourth, a “regular” bicycle for To-y. Fifth, a Parent-Teacher Conference with Miwa Kojima, To-y’s mother.
Result: DDT Extreme Champion To-y beat Sanshiro Takagi to retain the title. V5 for To-y. With an assist to his bitch-slapping mom.

Result: KO-D Tag Team Champions MAO & KANON beat Daisuke Sasaki & Hideki Okatani to retain the titles. KANON pinned Okatani. V1 for the champs.

Match 6: Konosuke Takeshita vs. Shinya Aoki. 30 minute time limit
Result: Konosuke Takeshita beat Shinya Aoki

Main Event: KO-D Openweight Champion & DDT Universal Champion Yuki Ueno vs. Super Sasadango Machine for the titles. 1 Hour time limit
Result: KO-D Openweight Champion & DDT Universal Champion Yuki Ueno beat Super Sasadango Machine to retain the titles. V3 Openweight & V1 Universal for Ueno. After Machine left, GM Imabayashi hit the ring. With microphone. Time to talk next challenger. Ueno called out the younger guys who make up the D GENERATION SP unofficial unit .I heard Ueno mention a tournament. The Matsui referee with microphone. It sounds like we’re about to have a rock-paper-scissors tournament in the ring. That’s the case and the 9 or 10 at the start were narrowed down to Yuki Ishida & Takeshi Masada. And the final winner is…Masada. The next shot is his. That match will happen on 12/21 (official confirmation to come later(.

The next event is Wednesday at Shinjuku Face. Live streaming on WRESTLE UNIVERSE will begin at 2 AM PT/5 AM ET.

UPDATE: It’s now official. Ueno-Masada will be on 12/21 and will be for only the KO-D Openweight Championship, not the DDT Universal Championship so not a double title match.

UPDATE 2: The next KO-D Tag Team Championship match was made official after the event-Masaoka & Hox will get the next shot. That match will happen on 12/21.
