By: Lewis Carlan

On Nov. 2, the EDION Arena Osaka #2 hosted Dragon Gate’s THE GATE OF DESTINY 2025 as 865 fans were in attendance for the pro-wrestling event.

The featured match was an Open The Dream Gate Title bout as the champion Madoka Kikuta made the second defense of his second championship reign as he faced the challenge of Susumu Yokosuka. The match exhibited back and forth action between the two warriors as Yokosuka fought hard to dethrone Kikuta and regain the Open The Dream Gate Title he last held in March 2016 as Jimmy Susumu.

Unfortunately for Sususmu, it was not his night as Kikuta retained the title when he hit his challenger with a Rolling Lariat and ended the match at the 21:32 mark.

In the co-featured match, Ryoya Tanaka made his sixth defense of his Open The Brave Gate title against the competitor he calls his mentor, Billy Ken Kid. Tanaka retained his title when he defeated his mentor at the 16:28 mark after hitting the Stardust Press.
