Storylines

Judgement 2012 featured seven professional wrestling matches that involved different wrestlers from pre-existing scripted feuds and storylines. 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.^[3]

Event

The first match saw Gota Ihashi's return to DDT.

Next was a match dubbed "A Major Explosion!? Rocket Punch" featuring Masao Inoue from All Japan Pro Wrestling (AJPW).

After the match, a video segment showed Poison Julie Sawada pinning Antonio Honda to win the Ironman Heavymetalweight Championship.

The third match was the "Ironman Battle Royal", a Championship Scramble with a ten-minute time limit for the Ironman Heavymetalweight Championship in which there were no interim champions but rather actual title changes because of the 24/7 rule of the championship. The participants all started the match together and only pinning the current champion counted as a title change. After four title changes, Kana won the bout and became the 898th champion.

The fifth match featured Team 246 (Kaz Hayashi and Shuji Kondo) from AJPW.
