DDT Pro-Wrestling presented Ultimate Party on November 3, 2026, from Ryōgoku Sumo Hall in Tokyo, Japan, with a stacked card featuring championship bouts, special attraction matches, international talent, and a lengthy KO-D Openweight Championship main event.
The show concluded with MAO successfully defending the KO-D Openweight Championship against Chris Brookes. The reigning champion retained via count-out after 33 minutes and 42 seconds, bringing an endurance-heavy title match to a decisive but contentious close.
Elsewhere on the card, Konosuke Takeshita defeated Daisuke Sasaki and Danshoku Dino in a three-way match, while Zack Sabre Jr. earned a significant singles victory over Shinya Aoki. Ultimate Party also included title changes involving the ever-volatile DDT Ironman Heavymetalweight Championship, as well as successful defenses by Shunma Katsumata and KO-D Tag Team Champions Takeshi Masada and Yuya Koroku.
After his match, Takeshita stated that Ultimate Party marked his final match in Japan for the remainder of 2026. That made his win in Ryōgoku especially notable, as the DDT standout closed out his scheduled in-country appearances for the year with a victory in one of the event’s marquee multi-man contests.

MAO Outlasts Chris Brookes in KO-D Openweight Championship Main Event
The KO-D Openweight Championship was on the line in the night’s final match, with MAO entering as champion against Chris Brookes. Their bout lasted 33:42, the longest listed match time from the event, and ended with Brookes being counted out.
The result confirmed MAO’s continued reign at the top of DDT’s singles division. A count-out finish is often far from a definitive conclusion in a championship rivalry, particularly after more than half an hour of competition, but it remains a successful defense for the champion in the official record.
For Brookes, the loss was a difficult end to a major title opportunity at one of DDT’s biggest events of the year. He pushed MAO deep into the match, only for the challenger to fall short of returning to the ring before the referee’s count was completed. MAO therefore left Ryōgoku Sumo Hall with the KO-D Openweight Championship still in his possession.
Konosuke Takeshita Wins Before Japan Hiatus
Konosuke Takeshita shared the ring with Daisuke Sasaki and Danshoku Dino in a three-way match. Takeshita emerged victorious over both opponents, adding another important result to his body of work in DDT.
The post-match context made the victory more significant. Takeshita said that Ultimate Party would be his last match in Japan for the rest of 2026. While no further details were provided regarding his upcoming schedule, the statement means his next appearances for the remainder of the year will not take place in Japan.
Takeshita has remained one of the most prominent names associated with DDT, and his placement on the Ultimate Party lineup underlined his importance to the card. Defeating Sasaki and Dino allowed him to leave the Japanese portion of his 2026 calendar on a winning note.
The three-way format also created a very different challenge from a conventional singles match. Sasaki brought a dangerous, opportunistic presence to the contest, while Dino’s experience and unorthodox approach added another variable. Takeshita navigated both competitors successfully and secured the result.
Zack Sabre Jr. Defeats Shinya Aoki
Another major singles attraction saw Zack Sabre Jr. defeat Shinya Aoki. The meeting brought together two highly accomplished technical wrestlers whose reputations have been built on grappling, submissions, and a strategic approach to in-ring competition.
Sabre’s victory over Aoki stands as one of the most notable individual results from Ultimate Party. Both competitors are respected for their ability to turn even small positional advantages into match-ending opportunities, making the contest a natural showcase for the more mat-based side of professional wrestling.
With the result, Sabre added a win over Aoki to his Ultimate Party résumé. Aoki, meanwhile, came up short in a bout that was positioned among the event’s most distinctive singles encounters.
Ironman Heavymetalweight Title Changes Hands Twice
The DDT Ironman Heavymetalweight Championship once again lived up to its unpredictable reputation, changing hands twice during Ultimate Party.
Junta Miyawaki entered as champion, but Mason Madden defeated him to win the title. Madden’s reign was short-lived, as his MxM Collection partner Mansoor then defeated Madden to become the new Ironman Heavymetalweight Champion.
The rapid succession of title changes was part of a busy night for MxM Collection. Earlier, Mansoor and Madden teamed in a three-way tag team match alongside the teams of Daichi Satoh and Junta Miyawaki, and Shota and Soma Takao. Satoh and Miyawaki won that match before Miyawaki’s later Ironman title loss to Madden.
By the end of the sequence, Mansoor held the championship after defeating his own tag partner. The result added another unusual chapter to a title synonymous with sudden turns and brief reigns.
Shunma Katsumata Retains DDT Extreme Championship
Shunma Katsumata defended the DDT Extreme Championship against Yuki Ueno and successfully retained. Katsumata’s victory preserved his hold on one of DDT’s most distinctive championships.
The Extreme title has traditionally been associated with unconventional match conditions and a willingness to push beyond standard expectations. While the listed result did not specify additional stipulations for Katsumata’s defense against Ueno, the champion’s ability to overcome a major opponent in Ueno remained central to the outcome.
Ueno was unable to capture the championship, leaving Katsumata’s reign intact following Ultimate Party.
Masada and Koroku Continue KO-D Tag Team Title Reign
Takeshi Masada and Yuya Koroku also left Ryōgoku Sumo Hall with their championships. The KO-D Tag Team Champions defeated Hideki Okatani and Ilusion to retain their titles.
Masada and Koroku entered as the defending champions and handled the challenge from Okatani and Ilusion, ensuring that the KO-D Tag Team Championship did not change hands at Ultimate Party. The victory kept the champions together at the forefront of DDT’s tag division.
For Okatani and Ilusion, the match represented an opportunity to make a major statement on a large-stage event. The challengers were unable to do so, with Masada and Koroku recording another successful defense.
Additional Ultimate Party Results
The event featured a broad range of matches across the card, beginning with pre-show action. Shivam and Yuni defeated Tomomitsu Matsunaga and Yuki Ishida. HARASHIMA and Naomi Yoshimura then defeated Jun Akiyama and Masami Inahata.
In another pre-show bout, Kazuki Hirata, Sanshiro Takagi, and Toru Owashi defeated Akito, Antonio Honda, and Super Sasadango Machine.
Daichi Satoh and Junta Miyawaki won the aforementioned three-way tag team match over Shota and Soma Takao, as well as MxM Collection’s Mansoor and Mason Madden. Although Miyawaki started the night with a tag victory, his Ironman Heavymetalweight Championship reign ended later on the card.
Jun Kasai defeated Hinata Kasai in singles competition. Kaisei Takechi and To-y defeated KANON and Kumadori, while Yukio Naya defeated Yuki Iino in another singles match.
Across the full Ultimate Party card, DDT presented established veterans, championship holders, domestic standouts, and international names in a packed Ryōgoku Sumo Hall lineup. MAO’s successful KO-D Openweight Championship defense served as the closing result, but Takeshita’s final Japanese match of 2026, Sabre’s win over Aoki, and the two Ironman title switches ensured there were major developments throughout the event.
