The Philippines’ wrestling scene is about to explode with excitement as Dexcon returns with Dexcon Peksman, a massive three-day wrestling extravaganza running from August 22-24, 2025. This ambitious event promises to deliver everything fans crave: international dream matches, unique stipulations, championship gold on the line, and an unforgettable community experience.
A Weekend-Long Wrestling Festival
Dexcon Peksman isn’t just a single show—it’s an entire weekend celebration of professional wrestling that spans multiple venues across Manila. The festivities kick off on August 22 with Baka Gaijin + Friends MNL at the Social House in Circuit Makati, featuring both wrestling action and live music performances. The middle day brings fans closer to their favorites with a Meet and Greet at Attack Arena Shaw on August 23, complete with archery competitions and mat wrestling exhibitions. The weekend culminates with the main Dexcon Peksman show at Brawlpit Bulusan on August 24.
International Dream Match Steals the Spotlight
The marquee attraction features the return of Chris Brookes to Philippine soil, where he’ll square off against local favorite Robin Sane in what’s being billed as an International Dream Match. Brookes, the former two-time DDT KO-D Openweight Champion, brings serious pedigree to this contest against the self-proclaimed “Ace of World Underground Wrestling PH.”
This clash presents a classic David vs. Goliath scenario with “speed vs size” as the central narrative. Brookes already holds a 1-0 record in the Philippines, making Robin Sane’s quest for an upset victory even more compelling. Can the Serial Thriller shock the wrestling world, or will the birthday boy continue his Philippine dominance?
Unique Stipulations Add Intrigue
Dexcon Peksman showcases creative match types that promise to entertain and surprise. The Kiss of Death Match between Jake De Leon and Takeshi Masada introduces a bizarre twist where competitors must kiss their opponent before securing a pinfall victory. This marks Masada’s Philippine debut, as the youngest member of DDT’s Schadenfreude International stable looks to prove he’s more than just a “baby girl.”
Perhaps even more outrageous is the Shot Puno Match featuring Fabio Makisig, JOMAR, and Joya against Main Maxx, El Katipunero, and Patricia Ligaia. In this alcohol-infused contest, every pin attempt forces the opposing team to take a shot, with victory achieved when an opponent becomes too intoxicated to kick out. With Main Maxx and Fabio’s title match looming in September, this serves as both preview and party.
Championship Gold on the Line
Two major titles will be defended during the weekend’s festivities. The IWA Japan SETUP World Heavyweight Championship sees champion Jonathan Johnson defend against both Miles Karu and Isaiah Valencia in a triple threat encounter representing Philippines vs. Thailand vs. Malaysia—truly embodying Southeast Asian wrestling excellence.
Meanwhile, the MyPW Southeast Asia Championship features Shivam defending against “Pinoy Wrestling Supreme” Nigel San Jose. This bout carries extra significance as San Jose has been systematically working through Real Global Threat members, currently sitting at 1-1 against the faction. Shivam represents the crucial tiebreaker in this ongoing rivalry.
Innovative Match Concepts
Matchmaker Miguel’s MIGNIFICIENT OPEN introduces a fresh take on multi-person competition. Starting with two competitors, a new entrant joins every ninety seconds until elimination by pinfall or submission crowns a single winner. Confirmed participants include the Kappas, Joey Rosas, Chelsea Marie, and John Day (making his Philippine debut), with additional mystery entrants to be revealed during the event.
The Singapore vs. Philippines showdown between Dr. Gore and Saint John Martin promises a brutal encounter between “Singapore’s best” and “WUW PH’s Final Boss.” This “clash of styles” pits the graveyard shift doctor against the underground’s patron saint of shoot style.
Interactive Fan Experiences
The Meet and Greet experience goes beyond traditional autograph sessions. Fans can purchase tickets to participate in archery competitions alongside wrestling stars, with Team RGT (Chris Brookes, Jake De Leon, and Shivam) facing Team Baby Boy (Takeshi Masada, Dr. Gore, and Joey Rosas) in the Archery Showcase.
Additional mat wrestling exhibitions will feature Main Maxx vs. John Day and Shivam vs. El Katipunero (with Super P), while other stars including Crystal, ROMEO, Robin Sane, and Dr. Gore will showcase their skills in a more intimate setting.
Music and Wrestling Collide
The opening night at Baka Gaijin + Friends MNL promises “beers, bands, and bodyslams” with wrestling action complemented by live performances from Super P and the Space Bandits, The Mox, Shift Heads, and Shirebound. The main event features Chris Brookes and Takeshi Masada teaming against Jake De Leon and Isaiah Valencia, while other matches include Robin Sane and Crystal vs. Patricia Ligaia and Dr. Gore.
