That match will happen on 9/27.

The next event is Saturday at Sanjo City Welfare Hall in Niigata. Live streaming on Stardom World will begin Friday at 9 PM PT/midnight ET.

UPDATE: The Koguma-Sileta ref stoppage was due to a Sileta injury. It appears to have happened during a Koguma swinging DDT to Sileta outside the ring and, based on photos posted by Stardom, may have been an arm or shoulder injury.

DEVELOPING: DDT Title Vacated (Updated)

Developing from DDT-the KO-D 6-Man Tag Team Championship is now VACANT. Previous champions Daisuke Sasaki, Hideki Okatani & Illusion have vacated the title due to the current Sasaki injury that has him out indefinitely (fractured ribs).

More as it becomes available.

UPDATE: Determination match between Okatani, Illusion & MJ Paul and Yuki Ueno, To-y & Kaisei Takechi to crown new champions is set for 9/28 at Korakuen Hall in Tokyo.
