Sasaki Wins DDT Gold, But Ueno Remains At The Top Of DDT At Mission In Battle 2026

By: Pep S. Caro

DDT returned to Tokyo’s Korakuen Hall to present DDT Mission In Battle 2026 on January 25. The card consisted of eight matches, and both of Yuki Ueno’s championships were on the line in triple threat matches against Chris Brookes and Daisuke Sasaki to headline the show. In addition, fans witnessed a tag team title battle between Strange Love Connection and The Apex.

In the first match, Junta Miyawaki and Shinya Aoki faced off, in what was Miyawaki’s first test as a member of DDT. An entertaining match in which Aoki demonstrated that his skill remains intact, controlling Miyawaki for much of the bout with his holds and technical expertise. However, it wasn’t enough to defeat Miyawaki, who may well consider this a positive result.

In the second match, Daichi Satoh, Ilusion, Kazuma Sumi, Ryoma Tsukamoto, and Yuki Ishida defeated Hinata Kasai, Rukiya, Takeshi Masada, Yuni, and Yuya Koroku. It was a very dynamic match in which the young members of DDT, part of D Generations, showcased their skills, demonstrating that things can get even more interesting in DDT in the coming years. Ultimately, the team of Satoh, Ilusion, Sumi, Tsukamoto, and Ishida emerged victorious.

In the third match, Kumadori and Naomi Yoshimura’s team defeated the DAMNATION T.A team made up of Hideki Okatani and MJ Paul. A very intelligent match by Kumadora and Yoshimura who managed to survive DAMNATION T.A’s tricks from the beginning and took a victory that could position them as possible challengers for the tag team titles in the near future.

Danshoku Dino, Minoru Suzuki, and Yoshihiko defeated Antonio Honda, Kazuki Hirata, and Super Sasadango Machine. It was a very entertaining match, showcasing DDT’s classic comedy. We also saw the return to the ring of Yoshihiko, who gave his opponents more than a few headaches and formed a great team with Minoru Suzuki to secure the victory. The match was held three times, as Kazuki Hirata lost the first two times before the clock reached 10 seconds, which generated laughter among the spectators at Korakuen.

In the fifth match, Jun Akiyama & Konosuke Takeshita defeat HARASHIMA & To-y. Originally, Kaisei Takechi was going to team up with HARASHIMA, but due to scheduling conflicts, DDT announced in the days leading up to the match that he would be replaced by To-y. It was a very entertaining match in which the participants showcased their excellent chemistry. The super team of Akiyama and Takeshita emerged victorious after Takeshita’s Super Knee on To-y. Following the match, it was announced that Takeshita will face Hirata at DDT Judgement 2026 on March 22nd.

In the sixth match, MAO and KANON defeated Yuki Iino and Yukio Naya to successfully defend the KO-D Tag Team titles. It was a very entertaining and dynamic match in which the wrestlers’ different styles complemented each other quite well. KANON continues to demonstrate his growth as a wrestler and had an exciting power struggle with Iino. Finally, KANON secured the pinfall victory over Iino with his LONELY DEZIRES.

In the seventh match, the first of two falls for Yuki Ueno’s titles, Daisuke Sasaki defeated the champion and Chris Brookes to win the DDT Universal Championship. Sasaki fought a very intelligent match, letting Brookes and Ueno wear each other down, and then seized his opportunity after 15 minutes to steal the victory by submission making Brookes tap to the crossface and win the belt, while Okatani was preventing Ueno from returning to the ring.

In the eighth match, the second of two falls for Yuki Ueno’s titles, Ueno defeated Sasaki and Brookes to retain the KO-D Openweight Championship. It was a grueling match for the champion, given the physical exertion of the previous bout and the emotional toll of losing his title in an instant. When Brookes was close to winning against Sasaki, Ueno hit a Frog Splash that hit both wrestlers. He then executed his WR on Sasaki to secure the victory. After the match, it was announced that KANON will be Ueno’s next challenger, and their KO-D Openweight title match will take place at DDT Judgement 2026 on March 22.
