Pinoy wrestling fans are counting down the days until Dexcon Dakila returns to bring the high-octane action this May. This two-day professional wrestling extravaganza, scheduled for May 23 to May 24, 2026, promises to deliver one of the most intense back-to-backs in Metro Manila.
The weekend festivities begin on May 23 with Baka Gaijin + Friends MNL Volume 2 at the Sari-Sari Bar in Makati, which includes an exclusive meet and greet with international stars before the evening matches. The momentum then carries over to the premier event, Dexcon Dakila II, which is set to take place at Bigger Pictures Spaces in Mandaluyong on May 24.
The weekend’s card is headlined by a massive title defense as Jake De Leon puts his DXCN World Championship on the line against the formidable Chris Brookes. The two have a storied history dating back to the main event of the very first Dexcon, and Brookes, who has earned the honorary Filipino nickname “Tupe,” is eager to secure the gold after capturing multiple championships across Asia.
Fans are also anticipating an international dream match between Zack Sabre Jr., regarded by many as the best technical wrestler on the planet, and local influencer Ravena. The display of athleticism continues with a high-stakes Fatal Four-Way featuring Robin Sane, Jonathan Johnson, Shaheen, and Munetatsu Nakamura. Meanwhile, a chaotic eight-man Mixed Nuts Match will see competitors from five different countries battle in a gauntlet-style elimination for a mystery prize.
Another high-profile title bout features Joya making her first defense of the Lakambini ng Dexcon Women’s World Championship against the visiting “Mad Kat” Karina from SPW. Additionally, the “Philippines’ Favorite Son” Shivam returns to Manila to defend the IWA Japan Setup World Heavyweight Championship against Joey Rosas in a hard-hitting fight both men are calling a battle for the title of “ultimate pogi”.
Tickets for both Dexcon Dakila II and Baka Gaijin + Friends MNL Vol. 2 are still available.
