Judgement 2019: DDT 22nd Anniversary (Judgement2019〜DDT旗揚げ22周年記念大会〜, Judgement 2019: hataage 22 shūnen kinen taikai) was a professional wrestling event promoted by DDT Pro-Wrestling (DDT). It took place on February 17, 2019, in Tokyo, Japan, at the Ryōgoku Kokugikan. It was the twenty-third event under the Judgement name. The event aired domestically on Fighting TV Samurai and globally on DDT's video-on-demand service DDT Universe.

## Storylines

Judgement 2019 featured twelve 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.
By winning the D-Oh Grand Prix 2019 tournament on December 30, 2018, Konosuke Takeshita earned a KO-D Openweight Championship match in the main event against Daisuke Sasaki.

## Event

On the undercard, the first two matches were presented respectively by Basara and Tokyo Joshi Pro Wrestling, two DDT sub-brands.

Newt was a Rumble rules match for the Ironman Heavymetalweight Championship. During the match, Kazuki Hirata pinned Asuka to win the title before being pinned by Saki Akai who won the match and became the 1,350th champion.
