Storylines[edit]

The event featured nine 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.[3]

The event started with three preshow bouts broadcast live on Noah's YouTube channel. In the first one, Kai Fujimura, Stallion Rogers and Akitoshi Saito defeated Muhammad Yone, Daichi Ozawa and Yu Owada in six-man tag team action. In the second one, Shuji Kondo, Seiki Yoshioka, Ninja Mack, Alejandro and Terry Yak picked up a win over Atsushi Kotoge, Hi69, Hajime Ohara, Xtreme Tiger and Junta Miyawaki in ten-man tag team action. In the third one, Kaito Kiyomiya and NJPW's Ryohei Oiwa defeated Anthony Greene and LJ Cleary.[4]

In the first main card match, Hideki Suzuki, Saxon Huxley and Shuhei Taniguchi outmatched the team of Masa Kitamiya, Manabu Soya and Daiki Inaba. Next up, Hayata and Eita went into a double-pinfall draw against Daga and Yoshinari Ogawa. In the sixth bout, Naomichi Marufuji and Takashi Sugiura defeated Katsuhiko Nakajima and Go Shiozaki in Nakajima's last match in Noah. In the seventh bout, Dragon Bane and Alpha Wolf defeated Yo-Hey and Tadasuke to secure the first defense of the GHC Junior Heavyweight Tag Team Championship in that respective reign. In the semi main event, one half of the GHC Tag Team Champions Jack Morris defeated El Hijo de Dr. Wagner Jr. to win the GHC National Championship, ending the champion's reign at 352 days and six successful defenses.
