DDT Sweet Dreams!
Professional wrestling pay-per-view event series
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Sweet Dreams (often stylized as Sweet Dreams!) was a recurring professional wrestling event held annually by DDT Pro-Wrestling (DDT) in late January at Korakuen Hall in Tokyo. Originally held by DDT as an independent promotion from 2011 to 2020, it was then held by CyberFight as a DDT-branded event from 2022 to 2024. The 2018 edition was replaced by the final of the inaugural D-Oh Grand Prix, and no edition was held in 2021.

History
From 2011 to 2020, Sweet Dreams was produced by DDT Pro-Wrestling, an independent promotion founded in 1997 by Shintaro Muto and Pro Wrestling Crusaders alumni Kyohei Mikami, Kazushige Nosawa and Sanshiro Takagi.[1] In 2020, DDT and its subsidiaries merged with Pro Wrestling Noah into a new company called CyberFight owned by the digital advertising company CyberAgent, with DDT and Noah persisting as separate brands under the CyberFight umbrella.[2] Sweet Dreams was then held from 2022 to 2024 as a DDT branded event.
