The Right to Challenge Anytime, Anywhere is a battle royal established by DDT Pro-Wrestling promotion in 2012. The holder of the contracts have a rule that only in matches they can lose their contracts (if the holder of the contract is pinned, submitted or even by TKO the contract is passed to the opponents that got the win. This needs to be in a professional wrestling match and not at any time) it's similar to due WWE's Money in the Bank, where the prize in the match is an elbow pad containing a contract for a championship match, which can be "cashed in" by the holder of the briefcase at any point in the year following their victory. The first matches were contested in 2012 and the winners of their contracts could get any championship match, for one of DDT's Championships.
