The DDT Universal Championship (Japanese: DDT UNIVERSAL王座, Hepburn: DDT Yunibāsaru Ōza) is a professional wrestling championship in the Japanese promotion DDT Pro-Wrestling. Announced on December 28, 2019, at the D-Oh Grand Prix 2020 final event, the DDT Universal Championship was created as part of DDT's plans to expand internationally and reach a larger audience. Chris Brookes was the inaugural champion. Yuki Ueno is the current champion, in his fourth reign.

History

On January 7, 2020, it was announced that the inaugural match would pit Konosuke Takeshita against Chris Brookes.[1] Brookes won the title at Into The Fight 2020, on February 23, 2020. As he was making his victory speech, Brookes was ambushed by Daisuke Sasaki who challenged him for the title before stealing the belt.[2][3] Sasaki went on to defeat Brookes for the title at Judgement 2020: DDT 23rd Anniversary, on March 20.[4] Brookes captured the title back in the main event of DDT TV Show! #8, on June 27. He successfully defended it against his fellow Briton Drew Parker on September 7, at Get Alive 2020 and then against Naomi Yoshimura on October 10, at DDT TV Show! #9.[5] Yuki Ueno captured the title on November 3 at Ultimate Party 2020.[6] He then successfully defended it against Mao on November 8, at DDT TV Show! #11.[7]
