Tokyo Joshi Pro 11/15/25 Results

After the weekend began with a crossover event with IWA Japan & Thailand’s SETUP Pro Wrestling in Japan, some of the Tokyo Joshi Pro roster was in Malayasia today for a crossover event with DDT called LOVE & PEACE, also featuring a handful of live music performances by Up Up Girls and KLP48 among others.

Today’s event was held at Putalin Jaya Geospace in Selangor, Malaysia and will be available on demand on WRESTLE UNIVERSE in Japanese at a later date.

The paid attendance was not announced.

A solo idol performance by idol Azuki Moeno opened the pre-show followed by greeting from wrestlers and idols, with some apparent boos for Yuki Kamifuku which she noted in her comments. Chris Brookes was also present representing DDT. Up Up Girls performance followed with their live performance.

Match 1: MVPW Provided Match: LOVExFRDM beat JUICYxBOYZ. Finnick Rose pinned Wonder Boy.

Match 2: Shino Suzuki & Uta Takami beat Marika Kobashi & Kira Summer. Suzuki pinned Summer after a belly to belly suplex.

A live performance by NGT48, another AKB48 sub-label/spinoff, followed here.

Match 3: Sanshiro Takagi, Shinichiro Kawamatsu & Eman Azman beat Chris Brookes, Shota & Jack Alecanser. kawamatsu pinned Shota after Ax Bomber.

The last live performance here was by KLP48, a Malaysia-based version of AKB48.

Main Event: Miu Watanabe, Yuki Arai & Raku beat Yuki Kamifuku, Mifu Ashida & Poppy Shay. Watanabe pinned Ashida after Teardrop.

The event concluded with a final song performance by KLP48, NGT48, Up Up Girls, Moeno and even Yuki Arai singing too, which makes me really hope these songs make the on demand version even though there may be a lot of muting due to copyrights. Based on post-event comments from Takagi, Watanabe, Arai & others it seemed like the event was a great success and hopefully they will return to Malaysia in the nest future.

The next event is a TJPW INSPIRATION event Wednesday at Itabashi Green Hall in Tokyo. Live streaming on WRESTLE UNIVERSE will begin at 2 AM PT/5 AM ET.

Ain’t no party like an Ultimate Party, and DDT’s final blowout event of the year, ULTIMATE PARTY 2025, is now in the books.

Today’s event was held at Ryogoku Kokugikan in Tokyo and can be watched on demand on WRESTLE UNIVERSE in Japanese. Former DDT wrestler (now front office member) Saki Akai was among the guests on commentary (and I was happy to see pics of her backstage reuniting with former TJPW partner and co-champion Yuki Arai).

That match will happen on 11/30 at Korakuen Hall for both titles.

As for Dieno, DDT provided an update on his condition-he continues to recover from complications from appendicitis and, to get fully prepared physically to return (which was to have been today but did not happen), he will be out the rest of the month. Dieno is now scheduled to return on 11/30.

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

UPDATE 3: Now a whole bunch more are out-KANON, Akito, Jun Akiyama, and Yukio Naya who missed 11/7 and are now off 11/8 and 11:9. The always vague poor health. So something is going around

DDT Pro Wrestling 10/19/25 LIVE Results (Updated Pre-Show)

DDT runs their monthly Tokyo major event today, this month titled “WRESTLING HARVEST-The Sky Dyed In Madder”. It’s mostly about tag teams today including 2 title matches, for both the KO-D Tag Team and KO-D 6-Man Tag Team Championships with the latter again featuring Yuki Ueno & Minoru Suzuki on opposite sides of a title clash. That also means another Kaisei Takeshi appearance so the ladies will be in the stands in full force in support of The Rampage. O-MENZ Kumadori also returns for his latest appearance which promises more excitement and definitely a ladies’ day atmosphere.

Today’s event will be held at Korakuen Hall in Tokyo and can be watched LIVE on WRESTLE UNIVERSE in Japanese. Koshihikari (?) Mochida will be a guest on commentary. It’s a regular Korakuen card with 7 matches plus the 2 title matches so it may run a little longer than usual, I’ll guess the running time will be closer to 3 hours (although I said that last night for Tokyo Joshi Pro and they kept it close to 2 1/2 hours).

Today’s lineup (updated):
Naomi Yoshimura, Kazuma Sumi & Takao Soma vs. Munetatsu Nakamura, Keisuke Ishii & Hinata Kasai
Chris Brookes, Antonio Honda & Takeshi Masada vs. Super Sasadango Machine, Akito & Fuminori Abe
Jun Akiyama & Tomomitsu Matsunaga vs. Daichi Sato & Rukiya
MAO, KANON, Kazuma Sumi & O-MENZ Kumadori vs. Daisuke Sasaki, MJ Paul, Hideki Okatani & Illusion (See below update)
Shinya Aoki vs. Kazuki Hirata
KO-D Tag Team Champions Yuki Iino & Yukio Naya vs. Kazusada Higuchi & Yuki Ishida for the titles
KO-D 6-Man Tag Team Champions Yuki Ueno, Kaisei Takechi & Minoru Suzuki vs. Minoru Suzuki, HARASHIMA & Yuya Koroku for the titles

PRE-SHOW UPDATE (6:20 PM PT/9:20 PM ET): There have been last-second changes to the card as Illusion is now off. The always vague poor health. Kazuma Sumi has been removed from that match as well so the 8-man tag is now a 6-man tag. Keisuke Ishii has been added to the card and the first match will now be Yoshimura, Soma & Sumi vs. Nakamura, Kasai & Ishii.

Result: KO-D Tag Team Champions Yuki Iino & Yukio Naya beat Kazusada Higuchi & Yuki Ishida to retain the titles. Naya pinned Ishida after The World’s Largest Backdrop. V5 for the champs. Afterwards, GM Imabayashi with microphone. He introduces the next challengers…Chihiro Hashimoto & Yuu!?! That match will happen on 11/3 at Ryogoku Kokugikan. Iino apparently was en fuego over this. I’d be worried about those deplorable Pheromones trying to come back for this one…oh, and actually that was a comedy rampage Iino was on. As this was wrapping up, KIMIHIRO came out with MAO & KANON. Seems they want in on the title match too. And it’s now official-the 11/3 match is now a 3-way. That got Iino to stop his comedy rampage in the crowd.

Main Event: KO-D 6-Man Tag Team Champions Yuki Ueno, Kaisei Takechi & To-y vs. Minoru Suzuki, HARASHIMA & Yuya Koroku for the titles. 1 Hour time limit
Result: KO-D 6-Man Tag Team Champions Yuki Ueno, Kaisei Takechi &To-y beat Minoru Suzuki, HARASHIMA & Yuya Koroku to retain the titles. Ueno pinned Koroku after WR. V1 for the champs.

Injury Report: Now Not-Vague Poor Health

DDT announced earlier this week that Danshoku Dieno would miss an event due to the always-vague poor health. Now we know why that was the case after further evaluation. Appendicitis. Out indefinitely and will miss this weekend’s events. Beyond that, it’s not yet known hoe long Dieno will be out as DDT just says, based on translation, he will be out a while. I’d call him questionable for the big Ryogoku event in November.

More as it becomes available.
