Background
editThe event featured professional wrestling matches that resulted from scripted storylines, where 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.[4]
Event
editPreliminary matches
editThe event began with an eight-man tag team confrontation between the team of Keigo Nakamura, Soma Takao, Yukio Naya and Yuya Koroku and the team of Mao, Shunma Katsumata, To-y and Yuki Ueno, with the latter winning. As a result, Katsumata won Takao's Right To Challenge Anytime Anywhere contract. Next, Kazuma Sumi and Yuni defeated Kazuki Hirata and Super Sasadango Machine. Yuni pinned Hirata, who was the Ironman Heavymetalweight Champion at the time, to win the title. In the third match, Damnation T.A. (Daisuke Sasaki, MJ Paul, Kanon and Ilusion) defeated Schadenfreude International (Antonio Honda, Chris Brookes, Masahiro Takanashi and Takeshi Masada) in an eight-man tag team bout. Next, Tetsuya Endo and Yuki Iino defeated Jun Akiyama and Yuki Ishida. Next, Mao cashed in his Right to Challenge Anytime Anywhere contract and defeated Yuki Iino to win the DDT Universal Championship for a then-record third time, ending Iino's reign at 42 days and two defenses. Next up, Danshoku Dino defeated Akito in a nobodyknows+ rules match to win the DDT Extreme Championship. Akito lost by speaking English, as that was the hidden rule of the match that was randomly drawn by the referee. After the match concluded, Yuni presented himself as the next challenger for the DDT Extreme title, but Dino quickly pinned him to win the Ironman Heavymetalweight Championship.
Main event
editIn the main event, Shinya Aoki successfully defended the KO-D Openweight Championship twice, first against lineal challenger Harashima, and then against Shunma Katsumata who cashed in his Right To Challenge Anytime Anywhere contract.
