Background Since 2001, DDT began producing their year-end shows under the branch of
"Never Mind". The events' traditional venue was initially the
Korakuen Hall, but during the years, the promotion moved the events to other arenas. These events conclude certain feuds and rivalries built during the year. Beginning with 2017 and until 2021, the "Never Mind" series were briefly replaced by the
DDT Ultimate Party as the promotion's year-closing events.
Storylines The event featured ten
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.
Event There were a total of three title fights at the event. In the first one, an inflatable doll named Yoshihiko defeated
LiLiCo to win the
Ironman Heavymetalweight Championship. In the second one, Happy Motel (
Konosuke Takeshita and
Tetsuya Endo) scored their fourth consecutive defense of the
KO-D Tag Team Championship over Shuten Doji (
Kudo and
Yukio Sakaguchi). In the main event,
Harashima successfully defended the
KO-D Openweight Championship against
Shigehiro Irie. ==Results==
