Since then, there&#8217;s been budding friction in R.E.D. This has been especially true between H\u2022Y\u2022O and Eita, with both men blaming each other for losing the all-out war series against Masquerade. H\u2022Y\u2022O stated that if Eita has a problem with anything, he can say it to his face. While all that was happening, the champions were caught off guard.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Ben-K and Dragon Kid ended up scoring victories over members of the Triangle Gate titleholding team. Both men initially challenged alongside <strong>Keisuke Okuda<\/strong>. Due to an injury sustained by Okuda, and a victory over H\u2022Y\u2022O, Kagetora nominated himself to take Okuda\u2019s place at <em><strong>The Gate of Destiny 2021<\/strong><\/em>. R.E.D. agreed to the substitution. Have HIGH-END gotten a little too overconfident with their recent success? Will the issues within R.E.D. cause their downfall?<\/span><\/p>\n<h3 class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Open The Twin Gate Championship: Susumu Yokosuka and King Shimizu (c) vs Kenoh and Haoh <\/span><\/h3>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">This is an Amazon Prime Video \u201cdragongate presented by LEC\u201d Sponsored match. It stems from the Dragon Gate Amazon Prime show that\u2019s only available in Japan. Kenoh has been having problems with YAMATO on the show. Kenoh and Haoh even faced Masaaki Mochizuki and YAMATO in a match. <strong>KENSO<\/strong> showed up to a Dragon Gate Korakuen promoting the Amazon Prime show, promising to bring challengers for Susumu Yokosuka and King Shimizu\u2019s Open the Twin Gate Championship. Many speculated who would be brought in.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Many were shocked when two members<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span>of <strong>Pro Wrestling NOAH\u2019s<\/strong> <strong>Kongo<\/strong> unit were unveiled. Kenoh cited that, when he was in high school, he came to see a Dragon Gate show. Susumu bumped into him, and he has never forgotten that grudge. The <strong>Natural Vibes<\/strong> duo ultimately accepted the challenge and the title match was signed for the Gate of Destiny. Can Susumu and Shimizu continue their roll as champions, or will the Kongo members take the Open the Twin Gate Championship to NOAH?<\/span><\/p>\n<h3 class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Open The Dream Gate Championship: YAMATO (c) vs BxB Hulk<\/span><\/h3>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">YAMATO was able to overcome a very game Kota Minoura back at <em>Dangerous Gate<\/em>. &#8220;The Almighty&#8221; looks to be at the same form he was back when he was Open the Dream Gate Champion. Yet, YAMATO didn\u2019t have long to celebrate; just a few shows later, he was pinned in the middle of the ring by BxB Hulk. From there, Hulk began to gloat. He claimed he didn\u2019t want to challenge for the belt, due to the fact he already beat YAMATO, meaning he had nothing left to prove. Being an honorable champion, YAMATO challenged Hulk.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">The challenge was accepted, and on the road to <em>The Gate of Destiny<\/em>, the two have been at each other\u2019s throats. Wild brawls between the champion and the challenger broke out. These two have a long history together; they&#8217;ve been intertwined for two years now. This grudge dates back to when Hulk turned on YAMATO while they were Twin Gate Champions, when Hulk joined R.E.D. Now, they finally get a singles match to settle the score, and it\u2019s for the Dream Gate Championship. \u00a0Can YAMATO continue to lead the new generation as he claims? Will BxB Hulk end his reign just as it\u2019s getting started?
