New future TV "ABEMA" will celebrate its 10th anniversary on Saturday, April 11, 2026. To commemorate this milestone, we have announced all the challengers for the main project, "Win 10 Million Yen if You Get a 3-Count from Aaron Wolf," which is part of the special program "30-Hour Limit Breakthrough Fest."
The "30-Hour Limit Breakthrough Fest," which starts broadcasting at 3:00 PM on Saturday, April 11, 2026, is a special program celebrating ABEMA's 10th anniversary. In addition to special editions of popular original programs, many challenging projects typical of ABEMA have been prepared. A group of projects that symbolize ABEMA's past and future, weaving history and challenges, will be broadcast non-stop for 30 hours. On the day of the event, the entirety of ABEMA will be treated as a "festival venue," progressing simultaneously on 3 channels. Viewers can freely switch between channels and experience entertainment that breaks through conventional common sense.
In this event, "Win 10 Million Yen if You Get a 3-Count from Aaron Wolf," featuring Aaron Wolf, who transitioned from a judo athlete to a professional wrestler, will be broadcast as the main project of the "30-Hour Limit Breakthrough Fest." Part 1 will air at 3:30 PM, and Part 2 will air at 9:00 PM on Saturday, April 11. This is the "10 Million Yen Series" returning for the first time in five years since "Win 10 Million Yen if You Beat Mikuru Asakura in a Street Fight" was broadcast in 2021. The rule is a 4-minute single match, and victory is achieved by "getting a 3-count with the opponent's back on the mat" or "getting an Ippon with a throwing technique." Note that all striking techniques, joint locks, choking techniques, attacks to the groin, and biting are prohibited, and both participants will wear judo uniforms.
While the recently announced participation of former Ozeki sumo wrestler Baruto, Yoshio Itoi, Nokkon Terada, Tatsuki Fujimoto, and Kuritani from Cacarony has been making waves, two new challengers taking on Wolf have been revealed today.
The true identities of the "Gold Medalist" and "RIZIN Fighter," whose silhouettes were previously released in advance, were finally revealed during the special program "10 Million Yen if You Get a 3-Count from Aaron Wolf Signing Ceremony," which was broadcast at 7:00 PM on Friday, April 10. In the program, Wolf and the challengers met for the first time (*Baruto and Itoi appeared remotely). In a highly volatile atmosphere, they signed a "pledge" taking self-responsibility for anything that might happen, delivering the tense atmosphere right before the main event.
