Never Mind 2022

Never Mind 2022 was a professional wrestling event promoted by CyberFight's sub-brand DDT Pro-Wrestling (DDT). It took place on December 29, 2022, in Tokyo, Japan, at the Tokyo Dome City Hall. The event aired on CyberAgent's AbemaTV online linear television service and CyberFight's streaming service Wrestle Universe. It was the nineteenth event in the Never Mind series.

Background
Since 2001, DDT began producing their year-end shows under the branch of "Never Mind". The events' traditional venue was initially the Korakuen Hall, but during the years, the promotion moved the events to other arenas. These events conclude certain feuds and rivalries built during the year. Between 2017 and 2021, the "Never Mind" series were briefly replaced by the DDT Ultimate Party as the promotion's year-closing events.

Storylines
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.

Event
The event started with three preshow bouts. In the first one, a tag team confrontation occurred between Yuya Koroku and Kazuma Sumi, and Hideki Okatani and Toui Kojima which was solded with the victory of the latter team and in the second one MJ Paul, Minoru Fujita and Kanon pciked up a victory over Masahiro Takanashi, Soma Takao and Antonio Honda in six-man tag team competition.

In the first main card bout, Sanshiro Takagi defeated Takeshi Masada in singles competition. Next up, Yuki "Sexy" Iino, Danshoku "Dandy" Dino, Koju "Shiningball" Takeda and Yumehito "Fantastic" Imanari defeated Akito, Shunma Katsumata, Osamu Nishimura and Shinichiro Kawamatsu in eight-man tag team competition in which they had to disband if lost. The sixth bout of the event saw Chihiro Hashimoto defeating Shinya Aoki in an intergender match. Next, Tokyo Joshi Pro-Wrestling's Saki Akai and Yuki Arai defeated Saori Anou and Riko Kawahata in tag team action. In the tenth bout, Konosuke Takeshita and Yukio Naya defeated Daisuke Sekimoto and Rickey Shane Page in tag team competition, and in the eleventh one, Mao defeated Daisuke Sasaki, Chris Brookes and Cara Noir in a four-way match.

Endo Suzuki and Okada received a challenge from Pheromones after the match. In the second one, Jun Akiyama successfully defended the DDT Extreme Championship against Super Sasadango Machine in a comedic match which started with both wrestlers who sat down in the middle of the ring playing with their respective toy action figures.
