The first day of DDT'S "PETER PAN 2020" was broadcast on 6th June. The event, which is the biggest of the year, was scheduled to be held at the Saitama Super Arena on the 7th, but due to the Coronavirus it was held as a two day empty arena instead. 

Attention was focused on Noah's Kenoh, Hao, and Masa Kitamiya (Kongoh) vs DDT'S Sanshiro Takagi in a six man tag after Kenoh intruded into a TV match on May 30th and demanded that Takagi, who is president of Noah as well as DDT, resigns from Noah. In response, Takagi demanded a match in DDT, which was quickly arranged. 

Kenoh and Takagi. The policies of the two, who have walked different paths, clashed. Kenoh mercilessly attacked Takagi with kicks, while Takagi countered with thrown in weapons like plastic cases, and a custom made bicycle. In the end it was Hao who pinned Matsunaga with a tornado clutch, and Kongoh won. After the match where both sides and Kenoh and Takagi both finished without further fighting, Kenoh left without saying anything on the microphone. Takagi, left in the ring alone, said "Hey! Kenoh! Kongoh! I felt what happened when we came here together today, and well, it doesn't fit at all. Our views to Pro Wrestling is different, and the approach to pro wrestling is also completely different. Different ways of thinking, different ideologies. It's all different. We tried this today, and we found this out; I don't mind if this is the case." This was going to be the first and the last rivalry.

He also addressed both Kenoh and the Noah fans, "Hey! Kenoh, Kongoh and all their fans! It doesn't suit those guys, and it doesn't suit Pro Wrestling Noah at all! That is why you are free to do whatever you want, which is why we will do DDT how we want. DDT has different ideas and methods, but the vectors are the same, right? Aren't you aiming at the top? You can do it yourself. I am too, and DDT will do it in its own way. If the two beings become big, and you guys still want to talk back, then we may do this again."

While on this day he stood in the DDT ring as a wrestler, Takagi is the president of both DDT and Noah. The two different styles of promotions, renewed the message that both will aim to rise in their respective ways. 

Kenoh spoke backstage to say, "Sanshiro Takagi! Admit YOU are Noah's President? I don't admit it. I will NEVER admit it. Do whatever you want, I and we will never be involved with you! We will go our own way!"
