Dragon Gate runs their monthly same-day doubleheader today with those who didn’t go to the US this week, with this month’s double being in Fukuoka. The first event is headlined by a title match as All-Asia Tag Team Champions Masaaki Mochizuki & Don Fujii defend the titles against Genki Horiguchi & Yasushi Kanda. No word yet if All-Japan will be sending one of their own referees for the match per PWF Rules but don’t be surprised to see Kyohei Wada calling the match.

Today’s events will be held at Acros Fukuoka in Fukuoka and can be watched LIVE on DRAGONGATE NETWORK. You will also be able to watch the first match of each event FOR FREE on YouTube. There will be no commentary in the main stream while an alternate stream with wrestler commentary will also be available. There are 6 matches scheduled and even with the title match main event they can’t run too long because of the second event’s start time so it should top out at maybe 2 1/2 hours.

Today’s lineup:
Jason Lee vs. Kazuma Kimura
Jiro Shinbashi vs. Punch Tominaga
Strong Machine J, GuC & @KEY vs. BxB Hulk, KAGETORA & Problem Dragon

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.

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:

https://blog.spora.jp/dragongate/archives/30477

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.
