CIMA and Soma Takao versus HARASHIMA and Naomichi Marufuji was originally scheduled to take place at Wrestle Peter Pan in the Saitama Super Arena on June 7. However, it did not take place after the show was moved to without live fans in attendance.

Shinya Aoki will attempt his fifth defense of the DDT Extreme Division Championship, Chris Brookes will attempt his third defense of the DDT Universal Championship and Tetsuya Endo will attempt his third defense of the KO-D Openweight Championship.

Endo won the King of DDT tournament in August and was able to pick his KO-D Openweight Championship challenger for Ultimate Party 2020.

Endo wanted to face Kenny Omega at first. However, the match is not able to take place due to the current travel restrictions.
