The main card began with a ten-man tag team match featuring some of NOAH's top talent. Chris Ridgeway, Daga, Eita, HAYATA, and Yoshinari Ogawa defeated Alejandro, Atsushi Kotoge, Junta Miyawaki, Seiki Yoshioka, and YO-HEY in 6 minutes and 23 seconds.

The DDT Showcase made its presence felt with a high-energy eight-man tag team match featuring The 37KAMIINA (MAO, Shunma Katsumata, Toi Kojima, and Yuki Ueno) defeating Burning, Hideki Okatani, and Takeshi Masada in 9 minutes and 6 seconds.

In the evening's first singles match, El Hijo del Dr. Wagner Jr., Naomichi Marufuji, and Ninja Mack put on a show against Z-Brats (Diamante, KAI, and Shun Skywalker) in a thrilling six-man tag team contest that lasted 11 minutes and 20 seconds.

Kongo (Katsuhiko Nakajima, Kenoh, and Manabu Soya) faced off against Zennichi Shin Jidai and Suwama in a six-man tag team match. The bout was a back-and-forth affair that saw Kongo ultimately emerge victorious in 15 minutes and 37 seconds.

The penultimate match of the evening featured BULLET CLUB (Gedo and Taiji Ishimori) defeating MAZADA and NOSAWA Rongai in a quick but intense tag team contest that lasted just 4 minutes and 43 seconds.
