DDT Pro Wrestling 9/6/25 LIVE Results (Event 1)

DDT runs a straight doubleheader in Yokohama today starting with a D GENERATIONS event. Focusing on the younger, less experienced roster members, the 6th such event will have, perhaps fittingly, 6 single matches. Although they’ll probably save other happening for later, keep in mind there are still 3 “Money In The Bank” title shot rights out there following Kazuki Hriata cashing in last weekend after Yuki Ueno won the KO-D Openweight Championship and shocking everyone by winning the title. So card subject to change, but not likely. (The current rights holders are Yuya Koroku, who intends to cash in for a KO-D Tag Team Championship shot at an upcoming event, Hideki Okatani & Yuki Iino)

Also, for the second event today there has been a last-minute change as Akito is now off. Aggravated an old injury.

Today’s event will be held at Yokohama Radiant Hall in Yokohama and can be watched LIVE on WRESTLE UNIVERSE. There will be no commentary. All matches will have a 15 minute time limit so this will be a short event probably running just over 90 minutes but no more than 2 hours.

Today’s lineup:
Munetatsu Nakamura vs. Hinata Kasai
Illusion vs. Rukiya
Ryoma Tsukamoto vs. DaichI Sato
Hideki Okatani vs. Kazuma Sumi
To-y vs. Takeshi Masada
Yuya Koroku vs. Yuki Ishida

Regarding Today’s TAKAYAMANIA EMPIRE 4 Event (9/3/2025) (Updated)

TAKAYAMANIA EMPIRE 4, the latest charity fundraiser event for iconic wrestler Yoshihiro Takayama, was held earlier today at Korakuen Hall in Tokyo. I am trying to find full results that aren’t paywalled (All-Japan posted one match result with their participation) and will post them once I am able to. Takayama was in attendance again (he has been mostly confined to hospital beds and wheelchairs the last few years due to severe spinal cord injuries).

The event was a live broadcast on ABEMA in Japan only and hopefully will show up on demand on WRESTLE UNIVERSE at some point.

UPDATE: It was announced on Takayama’s official blog that the event raised a total of 1,872,033 Japanese yen, which will go towards his medical care/expenses (the bank accounts are managed by his wife). That’s around $12,700 US. The event may have been a legit sellout, if not it was very close.

Here are the results:

Match 1: Daiki Nagai beat Shouta Kofuji.

Match 2: Kazushi Sakuraba & Hideki Suzuki beat Hikaru Sato & Dan Tamura by KO.

Match 3: Chihiro Hashimoto & Yuu beat Hiroyo Matsumoto & Yurika Oka.
