Harada earned this <a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/prowrestling\/2021\/06\/27\/hayata-ghc-junior-heavyweight-championship\/\" target=\"_self\">championship<\/a> match on the first day of <em>N-Innovation<\/em> action. At this event, a battle royal took place to determine who would be the next challenger for HAYATA&#8217;s GHC Junior Heavyweight Championship. Harada won the match and earned his shot, following that up by winning the <strong><em>U-Cup<\/em><\/strong> on the second day of action, doing so alongside <strong>Atsushi Kotoge<\/strong>, <strong>Hajime Ohara<\/strong>, and <strong>Junta Miyawaki<\/strong>.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Both men have a deep history going back to the <strong>RATELS<\/strong> faction, where they fought alongside each other for the better part of three years. Eventually, HAYATA was the one that officially ended the unit by betraying the group yet again to join <strong>STINGER<\/strong>. This lit a fire in Daisuke Harada, and despite the other members eventually parting ways from him, Harada swore revenge on HAYATA.<\/span><\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"ja\" dir=\"ltr\">\u30a4\u30d9\u30f3\u30c8\u5f8c\u306b\u306f\u4ed9\u53f0\u5927\u4f1a\u306b\u5411\u3051\u3066\u30e9\u30b8\u30aa\u306e\u53ce\u9332\uff01<br \/>\uff08\u8a73\u7d30\u306f\u307e\u305f\u30c4\u30a4\u30fc\u30c8\u3057\u307e\u3059\uff09<\/p>\n<p>\u6771\u4eac\u306b\u623b\u3063\u3066\u660e\u65e5\u306f\u3001<br \/>N Innovation DAY 3<\/p>\n<p>HAYATA\u3078\u306e\u30ea\u30d9\u30f3\u30b8\u3068<br \/>\u3053\u306eN Innovation\u3092\u6700\u5f8c\u307e\u3067\u76db\u308a\u4e0a\u3052\u3066\u30b8\u30e5\u30cb\u30a2\u306e\u30c1\u30ab\u30e9\u3092\u30c9\u30ab\u30fc\u30fc\u30fc\u30f3\u3068\u307f\u305b\u3066\u3044\u304d\u307e\u3059\ud83c\udf0b<a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/Iz2BifoejC\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">https:\/\/t.co\/Iz2BifoejC<\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/noah_ghc?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">#noah_ghc<\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/NInnovation?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">#NInnovation<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/CEc6Tu9oxy\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">pic.twitter.com\/CEc6Tu9oxy<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&mdash; \u539f\u7530\u5927\u8f14 DAISUKE HARADA (@noah_harada) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/noah_harada\/status\/1480122279355101185?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">January 9, 2022<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<h2><strong>HAYATA vs Daisuke Harada &#8211; What to Know<\/strong><\/h2>\n<h3 class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Standing In The Way of History <\/span><\/h3>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">During this reign as GHC Junior Heavyweight Champion, thus far, HAYATA has successfully defended the championship nine times. He is chasing the record set by <strong>Taiji Ishimori<\/strong>, who defended the championship ten times successfully before losing it. If he wins against Daisuke Harada, he will have tied the record, but it\u2019s truly a tough draw. The man that stands in the way of HAYATA and history isn\u2019t just a former ally and the number one contender. Daisuke Harada is the standard barrier for the Pro Wrestling NOAH junior division.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">If anyone is going to be able to stop HAYATA from reaching that accolade, it\u2019s the proverbial junior ace. However, as great as Harada is, he did lose to HAYATA already during this championship reign. With this in mind, it has become a matter of HAYATA knowing he can beat Harada, while Harada thinking he can beat HAYATA. Will HAYATA tie the GHC Junior Heavyweight Championship defense record? Or will his reign come crashing down?<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><em><span class=\"s1\">Stay tuned to the\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/prowrestling\/\" target=\"_self\"><span class=\"s2\">Last Word on Pro Wrestling<\/span><\/a> for more on this and other stories from around the world of wrestling, as they develop.
