The fifth match announced for the event would see former Campeones de Parejas, Icarus and Gran Akuma, face each other in a ladder match with Akuma's Chikara contract on the line.

On the very same show, Yamato cemented his villainous status when he and Gran Akuma engaged in a post-match attack on Mike Quackenbush and Jigsaw, starting a feud with the Chikara wrestlers.

Also in June, 3.0 began regularly teaming with Gran Akuma in six man tag team matches.

At Enter The Dragon/Open the Historic Gate two months prior, Mike Quackenbush, after competing in an eight-man tag team match, came to the ring following his match to give a monologue, known as a promo, to the live crowd in attendance, only to be interrupted by rival from DGUSA, Yamato, leading to an assault, which saw Quackenbush's ally, Jigsaw, come to his aide, which prompted Gran Akuma, to interfere himself, aiding Yamato; this prompted a tag team match between the two respective alliances at Untouchable.

The next day, Swann's FIP Florida Heritage Championship match with Gran Akuma ended in a time limit draw.

The Batiri opened the tournament by defeating the team of Gran Akuma, Scott Parker and Shane Matthews in their first round match.

After the match, Icarus was looking to continue his attack on Iron, but was stopped by his former tag team partner Gran Akuma, who had made his return to Chikara, after a 16-month absence, the previous night.

The names announced were: Jigsaw, Johnny Gargano, Lince Dorado, and Gran Akuma.
