It would be his second reign, following his previous one, where he successfully defended the title seven times.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Unfortunately for him, it didn\u2019t last long.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">One of the holders of the four Right to Challenge Anytime, Anywhere arm sleeves, Kazuki Hirata, would come out and hesitantly cash in his title opportunity. He shocked the world and pinned Ueno in a flash to become KO-D Openweight champion for the first time in his 15-year career.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Right to Challenge Anytime, Anywhere concept was reintroduced earlier this month. This idea was first introduced in 2012, where multiple title opportunities for any title in DDT were contested in a battle royale in the form of contracts, which eventually became objects. Those prizes could be won by other wrestlers by pinning, submitting, or knocking out any of their current holders in any match.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Hirata, who won his right to challenge in a three-way and didn\u2019t lose it in any of his matches that followed, leading to Wrestle Peter Pan, chose the right time to use it. Ueno was exhausted after a hard-fought battle against Higuchi, and the veteran took full advantage of it to pin him in under three minutes.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\">\n<p dir=\"ltr\" lang=\"en\">\ud83d\udd34WRESTLE PETER PAN Day 2 Highlights!<\/p>\n<p>Hirata: I wanted to show this to the fans.

This match was supposed to be the one before the double main event, but the match order was changed on the day of the show.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It was an entertaining clash of styles, as both men wrestled like their usual selves. However, Tanahashi deviated and played Dieno\u2019s game, even using his opponent\u2019s signature Lip Lock before submitting him to win.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In what could be Tanahashi\u2019s final match in a DDT ring, Dieno gave him DDT\u2019s best, even using moves from his fellow icons like Masa Takanashi, Yukio Sakaguchi, and Kota Ibushi. Tanahashi thanked the fans and his opponent after the match, which Dieno reciprocated with an \u201cI love you\u201d to the Ace.<\/span><\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_141112\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-141112\" style=\"width: 1920px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-141112 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/prowrestling\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/15\/2025\/08\/11-1-1.jpg\" alt=\"A graphic for DDT Wrestle Peter Pan 2025.\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1080\" srcset=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/prowrestling\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/15\/2025\/08\/11-1-1.jpg 1920w, https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/prowrestling\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/15\/2025\/08\/11-1-1-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/prowrestling\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/15\/2025\/08\/11-1-1-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/prowrestling\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/15\/2025\/08\/11-1-1-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/prowrestling\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/15\/2025\/08\/11-1-1-1536x864.jpg 1536w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-141112\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Photo Credit: DDT Pro-Wrestling<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h2><b>Suzuki Retains Against MAO, Masada Steps Up to Challenge<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Minoru Suzuki successfully defended the DDT Universal title for the fourth time, beating Strange Love Connection\u2019s MAO. After winning, the champion took the mic and told MAO that he had fun.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">He then proceeded to find his next challenger from the roster, saying that everybody\u2019s scared because no one is present. Takeshi Masada proved him wrong and came out to look him right in his face, only to be ignored.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Suzuki dismissed him at first, saying, \u201cMaybe when you\u2019re stronger.\u201d But the young Masada provoked him by saying, \u201cAre you running away?\u201d which obviously offended the champion and got him a title shot booked for September 28.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>The Apex Continue Rolling, To-y &amp; Koroku Team Up as Their Next Challengers<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Yukio Naya and Yuki Iino of The Apex are still the KO-D Tag Team champions after beating HARASHIMA and Shinya Aoki for their third successful defense. The contenders took control early on with Aoki\u2019s flawless grappling, but the champions fought back, and Naya once again got them the victory.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">After the match, DDT Extreme Champion To-y and Yuya Koroku came out to declare themselves as their next challengers. Koroku currently holds one of the Right to Challenge sleeves, but chose not to use it.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Iino expressed his desire to take the sleeve from him, which he will have the opportunity to do on September 23 when they face him and To-y for the tag belts.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In other news, CyberFight President and DDT founder Sanshiro Takagi announced during the show that his in-ring comeback will be on November 3rd at this year\u2019s Ultimate Party. He handpicked rookie Hinata Kasai, who just had his debut match on day one, as his opponent.<\/span><\/p>\n<h4>More from LWOS Pro Wrestling<\/h4>\n<p class=\"p1\"><em><span class=\"s1\">Header Photo \u2013 DDT Pro-Wrestling \u2013 Stay<\/span><span class=\"s1\">\u00a0tuned to the\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/prowrestling\/\" target=\"_self\"><span class=\"s2\">Last Word on Pro Wrestling<\/span><\/a>\u00a0for more on DDT Wrestle Peter Pan and other stories from around the world of wrestling, as they develop.
