On that night, there will be a GHC Junior Heavyweight Championship match with Daisuke Harada defending against Tadasuke. These two have a storied history dating back to <strong>RATELS<\/strong>, and Tadasuke betraying Harada along with <strong>YO-HEY<\/strong> to join <strong>KONGO<\/strong>. They even had a singles match recently that saw Harada get the victory. However, their reason for meeting now is not because of any of that history.<\/span><\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"ja\" dir=\"ltr\">\u660e\u65e5\u306f\u30bf\u30a4\u30c8\u30eb\u30de\u30c3\u30c1<\/p>\n<p>\u30d8\u30d3\u30fc\u7d1a\u306b\u8ca0\u3051\u306a\u3044\u30b8\u30e5\u30cb\u30a2\u3092\u4f5c\u308a\u4e0a\u3052\u308b\u70ba\u306b\u3082\u30bf\u30c0\u30b9\u30b1\u3092\u30c9\u30ab\u30fc\u30fc\u30fc\u30f3\u3068\u4e57\u308a\u8d8a\u3048\u3066\u3044\u304d\u307e\u3059\ud83c\udf0b<\/p>\n<p>\u30b8\u30e5\u30cb\u30a2\u306e\u95d8\u3044\u3001\u30ce\u30a2\u306e\u95d8\u3044\u3092\u662f\u975e\u4f1a\u5834\u3067\uff01<a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/SptwSLX1wS\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">https:\/\/t.co\/SptwSLX1wS<\/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:\/\/t.co\/fyIeXWADSC\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">pic.twitter.com\/fyIeXWADSC<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&mdash; \u539f\u7530\u5927\u8f14 DAISUKE HARADA (@noah_harada) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/noah_harada\/status\/1491019609520341001?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">February 8, 2022<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<h2><strong>Daisuke Harada vs. Tadasuke &#8211; What to Know<\/strong><\/h2>\n<h3 class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">KONGO and the NOAH Juniors at War<\/span><\/h3>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Just a few weeks ago, much of the NOAH roster missed a stretch of shows due to positive COVID tests and close contact protocols. Tadasuke was one of them, so he wasn\u2019t present at a series of events. During one event, <strong>Haoh<\/strong> developed friction with <strong>Nioh<\/strong> after a few miscommunications. These misfires were so bad that Haoh opted to leave KONGO and asked Daisuke Harada to allow him to fight as a NOAH junior.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Harada accepted this offer and Haoh left Kongo, which didn\u2019t sit with the rest of the members well. Tadasuke eventually returned and laid Haoh out, calling him the weakest link. Harada was then attacked as he attempted to save Haoh. Tadasuke would then go on to make a challenge to the person he hates the most, Daisuke Harada, for the GHC Junior Heavyweight Championship; Harada accepted. <\/span><\/p>\n<h3 class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Prediction<\/span><\/h3>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">The head-to-head singles title meetings between the two do not bode well for Tadasuke. Harada has swept the head-to-head series between the two. Additionally, with this being Harada\u2019s first defense, it\u2019s to be expected this streak continues. One day, Tadasuke will have his moment, but not right now.<\/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>\u00a0for more on this and other stories from around the world of wrestling, as they develop.
