Event

During the event, Nobuhiro Shimatani defeated Gota Ihashi in a King of Dark Championship dark match. Contrary to regular professional wrestling titles, this one is awarded to the loser of the match who is then forced to wrestle in dark matches. Having lost the bout, Ihashi was declared the new champion.

The team of Sanshiro Takagi, Toru Owashi, Kazuki Hirata and Saki Akai defeated Michael Nakazawa, Masahiro Takanashi, Tomomitsu Matsunaga and Cherry in a Loser Exiled Overseas match, thus forcing Nakazawa to leave Japan.

Next was a three-way match for the Ironman Heavymetalweight Championship. The champion going into the match was a kotatsu table in its second reign as champion after having accidentally pinned the former champion Hyota Echizenya during a brawl caused by Dai Suzuki and Gota Ihashi. During the match, Antonio Honda was defeated when he swung the kotatsu table into the ropes and it bounced back landing on top of him for the pinfall.

The next match saw the participation of Yoshihiro Takayama.{{cite web|url=https://superluchas.com/en/amp/ddt-resultados-into-the-fight-2017-19022017-la-empresa-se-encuentra-lista-para-la-celebracion-de-20-anos-de-existencia/|title=DDT: Results "Into The Fight 2017" - 19/02/2017 - The company is ready for the celebration of 20 years of existence|work=superluchas.com|author=Dark Angel|date=February 20, 2017|access-date=December 25, 2022}}
