New Future TV "ABEMA" will celebrate its 10th anniversary on Saturday, April 11, 2026. We are pleased to announce further details for "10 Million Yen if you get a 3-count from Wolf Aaron," the main event of the special program "30-Hour Limit Break Festival" commemorating this milestone. Amidst the significant buzz surrounding the previously announced first challenger, former Ozeki Baruto, today, four new challengers to Wolf have been revealed.

The "30-Hour Limit Break Festival," which begins broadcasting at 3 PM on Saturday, April 11, 2026, is a special program commemorating ABEMA's 10th anniversary. In addition to special editions of popular original programs, it will feature numerous challenging projects characteristic of ABEMA, broadcasting a series of events that symbolize ABEMA's past and future, blending history and challenge, non-stop for 30 hours. On the day of the broadcast, the entire ABEMA platform will be transformed into a "festival venue," with three channels running simultaneously. Viewers can freely switch between channels to experience entertainment that breaks conventional norms.

We are pleased to announce that "10 Million Yen if you get a 3-count from Wolf Aaron," featuring Wolf Aaron, who transitioned from a judo athlete to a professional wrestler, will be broadcast on Saturday, April 11, as the main event of the "30-Hour Limit Break Festival." This marks the return of the "10 Million Yen Series" after five years, since the 2021 broadcast of "10 Million Yen if you beat Mikuru Asakura in a street fight." The rules stipulate a 4-minute, one-round match, with victory achieved by either getting a "3-count with the opponent's back on the mat" or by scoring an "ippon with a throwing technique." All striking techniques, joint locks, chokes, attacks to vital points, and biting are prohibited, and both participants will wear judo gis.

Amidst the significant buzz surrounding the previously announced first challenger, former Ozeki Baruto, today, four new challengers to Wolf have been revealed.

Former professional baseball player Yoshio Itoi, known for his exceptional athleticism, has been confirmed to participate. Additionally, after auditions held to earn the right to challenge, physically powerful rugby player Nokkon Terada and the monster Ryuki Fujimoto, who boasts a 400kg bench press record, have been selected. These are extraordinary individuals who could physically overwhelm Wolf. Fujimoto has previously defeated Wolf in a "wall-pushing contest" during a program, drawing significant attention. Furthermore, comedian Kuriya of Cacaroni, who is burdened with a 10 million yen debt due to fraud, bravely faced the audition and successfully passed. Will Kuriya, who has earned the right to challenge, be able to get a 3-count from Wolf and repay his debt?
