Since 2020, NJPW has unable to run events with a full arena capacity due to COVID-19 restrictions.[6]
Storylines
Each night of Wrestling Dontaku 2021 will feature six professional wrestling matches that involved different 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.[7]
