Today’s event was held at Naraha Sky Arena in Fukushima and will be available on demand on WRESTLE UNIVERSE Wednesday. There was no live broadcast.

The next event is D-GENERATIONS 8 Saturday at Imaike Gas Hall in Nagoya There will be no live broadcast. No word on on demand plans.

In other news, after the event it was announced that, in response to Takeshi Masada forming a new faction with Yuya Koroku & Daichi Sato and subsequent demands, they will get a KO-D 6-Man Tag Team Championship shot. That match will happen on 3/11 at Shinjuku Face in Tokyo and as a result, Kaisei Takechi participation has been decided for that event.

UPDATE: A further update on the Yuni injury was provided today (3/3) following examinations. Left elbow joint MCL and contusion. Out at least 2 weeks. That means he is off at least the next 5 events. Further updates may come after the 3/15 event which he is off of now.

DDT wrapped up February with a house show today in Yokohama.

Today’s event was held at Yokohama Radiant Hall in Tokyo and can be watched on demand on WRESTLE UNIVERSE.

The paid attendance was not announced.

DDT’s monthly Tokyo signature event is on tap today and it’s all about the “Hybrid Performer”. The event is officially a Kaisei Takechi 2nd Anniversary event as it celebrates the stage actor/performer/entertainer “The Rampage” who has also become a pro wrestler and now a champion as he is part of the KO-D 6-Man Tag Team Champions and also got a chance to compete on Japan’s biggest stage when he was part of New Japan’s Tokyo Dome event on 1/4. Today he faces his fellow 6-man champion, KO-D Openweight Champion Yuki Ueno, in a NON-TITLE match. Before the main event will be the D GNEERATIONS CUP 2026 Finals between Takeshi Masada & Kazuma Sumi.

Today’s event will be held at Korakuen Hall in Tokyo and can be watched LIVE on WRESTLE UNIVERSE in Japanese. Riki Matsui of dance & music group BALLISTIK BOYZ will be a special guest on commentary. The event is a legit advance sellout. There are 7 matches scheduled today and it’s the rare Korakuen event without title matches so although the DGC Final will have no time limit I anticipate it being a “standard” Korakuen event with a running time of around 2 1/2 hours.

Today’s lineup:
Jun Akiyama, Makoto Oishi & Yukio Naya vs. Sanshiro Takagi, Tomomitsu Matsunaga & Ryoma Tsukamoto
Chris Brookes, HARASHIMA, Antonio Honda & Hinata Kasai vs. To-y, Toru Owashi, Kazuki Hirata & Yuni
Shinya Aoki & Junta Miyawaki vs. Yuya Koroku & Rukiya
Daisuke Sasaki, Hideki Okatani & Illusion vs. Naomi Yoshimura, Ryota Nakatsu & Yuki Ishida
MAO, KANON & Viento Maligno vs. Danshoku Dieno, Super Sasadango Machine & Akito
D GENERATIONS CUP Finals: Takeshi Masada vs. Kazuma Sumi
Kaisei Takechi vs. Yuki Ueno

He was to have teamed with Yuki Ishida & Kazuma Sumi to face To-y, Takeshi Masada & Yuya Koroku. MJ Paul was the replacement and as a result the first match was changed from Hideki Okatani & Illusion vs. Naomi Yoshimura & Yuni to Okatani/Paul/Illusion vs. Yoshimura/Yuni/Ishida the the aforementioned 6-man tag became a tag match.

Standings:
Block A:
1-Sumi, 2-1, 4 pts
2-Satoh, 2-1, 4 pts
3-To-y, 1-1-1, 3 pts
4-Ishida, 1-1-1, 3 pts

Block B:
1-Koroku, 3-0, 6 pts
2-Rukiya, 2-1, 4 pts
3-Masada, 2-1, 4 pts
4-Yuni, 1-3, 2 pts (OUT)
5-Kasai, 0-3, 0 pts (OUT)

The winners of each block advance to the Finals. In Block A the remaining matches are Sato-To-y and Ishida-Sumi. Sumi advances with a win. Sato advances with a win AND Sumi loss or draw (Sumi beat Sato for tiebreaker). To-y advances with a win AND Sumi-Ishida draw or no points finish. Ishida advances with a win AND To-y-Sato no points finish. If both To-y and Ishida win, there will be a tiebreaker rematch because their match went to a draw.
In Block B the remaining matches are Koroku-Masada and Rukiya-Kasai. The Koroku-Masada winner, if there is one, advances. If it’s a draw, Koroku advances. Rukiya can’t advance with a win because he lost to Koroku. His only hope is a win AND Masada win to force a 3-way tiebreaker match. That of course assumes Rukiya can return at the next event. If mot, the Koroku-Masada winner advances.

The next event is Saturday at Imaike Gas Hall in Nagoya. There will be no live broadcast. On demand Tuesday.

DDT has announced a pending wrestler absence in the future-Daisuke Sasaki will be gone for the entire month of April and miss all events that month as well as maybe events at the end of March. This is not unexpected or injury-related and is due to an upcoming international excursion-he has been announced for 2 events in Canada for Maple Leaf Pro Wrestling in April and there’s a decent chance he’ll show up at The Collective 2026 in Las Vegas, NV (once it’s officially announced). Sasaki is expected back in Japan after the 4/29 DDT event.

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

**-This was to have been Takechi pre-removal. To-y is the replacement.

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.

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.
