Into The Fight 2020 featured seven professional wrestling matches involving wrestlers from pre-existing scripted feuds and storylines. 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.[3]

The third match on the card was dubbed "We Are A Family Six-Man Tag Team Match" and featured Danshoku Dino, Super Sasadango Machine, Yasu Urano, Shinya Aoki, Hiroshi Yamato, Kazuki Hirata and referee Yukinori Matsui all wearing Sasadango masks in order to prevent Dino from kissing his opponents amidst the recent coronavirus pandemic. During the matches, the identical masks quickly caused confusion as some participants started tagging in their opponents instead of their partners. After a brawl took all six participants in the hallway surrounding the hall, they re-entered the ring only to realize they were now seven. Everyone started to unmask to confirm their identities.

In the main event, Masato Tanaka successfully defended the KO-D Openweight Championship against Mao before challenging Konosuke Takeshita at a future event.
