The first match was Kazuki Hirata's DDT debut in which he failed to defend the Ironman Heavymetalweight Championship against Keisuke Ishii.
The third match was the "Tiger Toguchi Challenge Handicap Match" where he and Hoshitango took on the team of Tomomitsu Matsunaga, Gota Ihashi and Soma Takao.
In the next match, Harashima faced Togi Makabe from New Japan Pro-Wrestling.
Next was the "KO-D Openweight Championship Contendership & Right To Challenge Anytime, Anywhere + α Contention Rumble", a Rumble rules match in which the winner would receive a title match against the KO-D Openweight Champion on April 4 at a Shinjuku Facelive event. Additionally, five envelopes were suspended above the ring. Each envelope had a symbol printed on it (Clubs, Hearts, Spades, Diamonds or Skull and Crossbones) and contained a prize. The prizes included a one-day date with joshi wrestler Yuiga [ja], a one-day date with idol and model Aika Ando, a one-year DDT contract, the right to become DDT's CEO and the Right To Challenge Anytime, Anywhere contract, giving the right to their holder to challenge for any title at any moment in the next year. Whenever someone grabbed an envelope, all the participants still in the match had to freeze until the prize that had just been won was announced. Failing to do so resulted in a disqualification. Grabbing an envelope also resulted in being eliminated from the match.
