Joey Janela defends the DDT Extreme title

Janela captured that special title on August 14, beating Akito at a DDT Pro wrestling Event. That’s not to say “The Bad Boy” has relegated himself to DDT or Japan, as he defended the Extreme title in the US last month. His last title defense will take place on war ready and it seems that he is prepared for anything. Given Janela’s mindset, which seems bent on winning at all costs, this should come as little surprise. However, it is his opponent who could make the task of leaving Tokyo with the DDT Extreme Championship a tall order.

Standing at 5’1”, Toshiyuki Sakuda has adopted the nickname “The Smallest Deathmatch Wrestler Alive”. After training under the umbrella of Big Japan Pro Wrestling, Sakuda made his professional debut in the summer of 2014, bringing deathmatch and technical wrestling together in a unique package. In BJW, Sakuda is a former 8-time 6-man Yokohama Shopping Street Tag Team Champion who won the gold alongside him 3rd generation Chimidoro brothers. However, as of this writing, he has yet to win gold in singles. On October 14th, this deathmatch fighter will bring his A-Game when he challenges Joey Janela for the DDT Extreme Championship. Between Janela’s unpredictability and Sakuda’s deathmatch penchant, this is perhaps the most unique match on the map.

Longtime GCW fans will be familiar with Masashi Takeda, as “The Crazy Kid” made an appearance for the promotion back in 2019. However, it was last year when he experienced his first major promotion-related success, winning the GCW Ultraviolent Championship Drew Parker at a BJW event in October. The following month, Takeda took a big gamble by defending the title throughout the year Nick Gage Invitational 6 tournament and eventually lost the title to Colon in the final. Meanwhile, “The Charisma of Deathmatch” Kasai boasts major accolades across the deathmatch scene, including the CZW Tag Team Championship and the 5 Kings of the FREEDOM World Championship. Much like The Mega Bastards, Takeda and Kasai are heated rivals-turned-partners, the latter being the case for them at least war ready.
