Today’s event was held at Yokohama Budokan in Yokohama and can be watched on demand on WRESTLE UNIVERSE in Japanese and English.

The announced paid attendance was 835. They didn’t set up a lot of floor seating and it was a very reduced capacity layout but it didn’t look good on broadcast.

DDT 4/22/22 Results

DDT Pro Wrestling DDT FREE 4/22/22 Results:

DDT ran this month’s DDT FREE event today, an event where all tickets were given away for free to those lucky enough to get them via lottery. There also was greatly increased venue capacity so more could attend. It also came shortly after a press conference for the promotion’s next major event on 5/1 in Yokohama.

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

The announced attendance was 353, a legit sellout. That means capacity was increased at the venue as this number represents roughly 70-75% of max capacity (I believe it’s roughly 500).

Dark Match: Takao Soma beat Yuki Ishida.

Match 1: Shishamo Power & Naomi Yoshimura beat Akito & Yukio Naya. Power pinned Akito with a deformation La Magistral.

Match 2: Saki Akai & Maya Yukihi beat Antonio Honda & Kazuki Hirata. Yukihi pinned Hirata after Snowstorm.

Match 3: KANON beat Toui Kojima by submission.

Match 4: HARASHIMA, Toru Owashi & Yukio Sakaguchi beat Danshoku Dieno, Yuki Iino & Yumehito Imanari by DQ. Imanari DQ’d. Ref assault.

Match 5: Daisuke Sasaki & MJ Pawl beat Kazusada Higuchi & Hideki Okatani. Sasaki pinned Okatani.

Match 6: MAO & Shunma Katsumata beat Asuka (Veny) & Yuji Hino. MAO pinned Asuka with Oklahoma Roll.

Regarding the now-vacant KO-D 6-Man Tag Team Championships, determination tournament to crown new champions will be held on 5/6 at Shinjuku Face & 5/22 at Korakuen Hall. It will be a 4-team tournament with two initial matches: Daisuke Sasaki, MJ Pawl & TBA vs. HARASHIMA, Toru Owashi & Naomi Yoshimura and Lazusada Higuchi, Yukio Sakaguchi & Hideki Okatani vs. Akito, Hikaru Machida & Tanomusaku Toba. Sasaki, Pawl & Minoru Fujita just vacated the titles due to a Fujita injury.

Main Event: Yuki Ueno, Chris Brookes & Masa Takanashi beat Tetsuya Endo, Jun Akiyama & Yuya Takashika by TKO/ref stoppage. Ueno beat Endo with a sleeper hold.

The next event is Sunday at Kobe Art Center in Kobe. There will be no live broadcast. It will be available on demand on WRESTLE UNIVERSE at a later date.
