As part of this year’s WrestleMania week independent events in Las Vegas, Dragon Gate is back with another of their DRAGONGATE USA events today, The Gate Of Sin City. Co-promoted with help of Game Changer Wrestling & Dragon Gate wrestler Ho Ho Lun (who is also a sort-of-international liaison for the promotion), today’s event features a mix of Dragon Gate wrestlers from Japan and independent wrestlers from the US with Dragon Gate being featured in every match.

Today’s event will be held at Horseshoe Las Vegas in Las Vegas, NV and can be watched LIVE on Triller/FITE with a Triller+ subscription, which is available for $7.99/month with a 1-week free trial for new subscribers. It’s not yet known if there will be any commentary but there probably will be English commentary. t will not be available on DRAGONGATE NETWORK. There are 6 matches currently scheduled and I’m not sure if there will be other events before or after this one at the venue so I anticipate the event’s running tiime being about 2 hours.

Today’s lineup )match order TBA):
Aero Panther & Fight Panther Jr. vs. Alec Price & Joradn Oliver and Ben-K & Hyo in a 3-way
Susumu Yokosuka vs. Marcus Mathers
KAI vs. Willie Mack & El Cucuy in a 3-way
Ho Ho Lun & La Estrella vs. Channing Decker & Rhys Maddox
Dragon Kid, Kzy & Yuki Yoshioka vs. ISHIN, Madoka Kikuta & Yoshiki Kato

Dragon Gate announced what has been some updates to a recent injury situation: U-T, who has been out recently due to injury, will be out a bit longer. Unspecified injury. Out indefinitely. This could have major title impacts soon as he is scheduled to face Open The Brave Gate Champion Ryoya Tanaka for the title on 4/26 in a rematch from when Tanaka won the title. That’s still a month away so there is time but this bears continued monitoring.

More as it becomes available.

UPDATE: Unspecified injury is a back injury.

This is something I’ve noticed blowing up on the Japanese social media scene over the last day, an interesting announcement from Dragon Gate. Below is a loose English translation:

“Dear Relatives and Fans

We would like to express our sincere gratitude for your continued support of DRAGONGATE’s activities.

Now, we have learned that a former player of DRAGONGATE has sent out information containing a lot of untrue content, as if he had been involved in serious illegal acts in the past. Naturally, there is no fact that our company or its related parties were involved in such serious illegal acts, and we believe that such unfounded information was unilaterally carried out and is considered to be an unacceptable act.

We have already delegated the handling of this case to a lawyer, and we intend to consider strict measures for defamation and discredit acts such as this case, with a view to legal action. In addition, we will continue to position compliance as the most important item and will work on the development of DRAGONGATE. I sincerely ask that you do not easily trust or spread false information.

We sincerely apologize for causing you concern. We look forward to your continued support for DRAGONGATE’s activities.

March 16, 2026 DRGONGATE Co., Ltd”

The socials are speculating on two names in particular here-CIMA and Tokyo Magnum, both formerly of Dragon Gate. Translation of various social media reports (which are unofficial and not affiliated with the promotion suggest DG is considering legal action but this does not affect or involve anyone on the current roster. Anyway, pass the salt and let’s see what happens.

More as it becomes available. A link to the original announcement is below:

Dragon Gate has announced several injuries and absences for upcoming events starting this weekend: Strong Machine J, El Cielo and Ben-K are all out for now. J & Cielo-the always-vague poor health. Ben-K-back. All out indefinitely. It’s not yet known how long they will be out but J & Cielo should be back quickly. Ben-K status uncertain.

More as it becomes available.

Dragon Gate reported on an injury coming out of yesterday’s event-BIGBOSS Shimizu, who slimmed down a lot during his lengthy suspension last year, was injured during his match. Foot. Status uncertain but he was off today’s event as a result. Also out tomorrow. It’s a busy stretch of events for the promotion over the next week-plus so he may miss more events
