Wrestle Peter Pan 2023

Wrestle Peter Pan 2023 was a professional wrestling event promoted by CyberFight's sub-brand DDT Pro-Wrestling (DDT). It took place on July 23, 2023, in Tokyo, Japan, at the Ryōgoku Kokugikan. The event aired on CyberFight's streaming service Wrestle Universe. The first three matches aired for free on DDT's YouTube channel. This was the fifteenth event in the Peter Pan series and the fifth promoted under the "Wrestle Peter Pan" name.

Twelve matches were contested at the event. In the main event, Chris Brookes defeated Yuji Hino to win the KO-D Openweight Championship, having won the 2023 King of DDT Tournament to earn the opportunity. In other prominent matches, Matt Cardona defeated Tetsuya Endo to win the DDT Universal Championship, and Eruption (Yukio Sakaguchi, Saki Akai and Hideki Okatani) defeated Harimau (Kazusada Higuchi, Ryota Nakatsu and Yuki Ishida) to win the KO-D 6-Man Tag Team Championship.

Since 2009, DDT began annually producing shows in the Ryōgoku Kokugikan held in the summer, following the promotions financial success of the first event. This led to the event becoming DDT's premier annual event and one of the biggest event on the independent circuit of Japanese wrestling. Since 2019, the event was renamed "Wrestle Peter Pan".

The event featured twelve professional wrestling matches that resulted from scripted storylines, where wrestlers portrayed villains, heroes, or less distinguishable characters in the scripted events that built tension and culminated in a wrestling match or series of matches.

In the opening bout, Takeshi Masada picked up a victory over Kazuma Sumi, pinning him after performing the Masada Power Kobu Mukimuki.

Next, Sanshiro Takagi, Shinichiro Kawamatsu and Yuni faced Masahiro Takanashi, Toy Kojima and Rukiya in six-man tag team action. In the end, Kawamatsu hit Rukiya with the Shimatachi Rocket and pinned him for the win.

The next was a three-way six-man tag team match contested under "no touch rules", Damnation T.A (Minoru Fujita, MJ Paul and Kanon) faced Naruki Doi, Toru Owashi and Kazuki Hirata, and Burning (Kotaro Suzuki, Yusuke Okada and Yuya Koroku). In the end, Kanon delivered a Vietnam Driver II to Koroku for the win.

Next, Pheromones (Yuki "Sexy" Iino, Danshoku "Dandy" Dino and Yumehito "Fantastic" Imanari), accompanied by DDT general manager Hisaya Imabayashi (exceptionally joining Pheromones under the name Kachikire Hisaya) faced the team of Akito, Soma Takao and Yoshitomo Shimohigashi, accompanied by YouTube comedian Buchigire Ujihara.
