It was here that the former lost to a relatively new wrestler, <strong>Yasutaka Yano<\/strong>, in a four-minute match. This was mainly due to a communication issue with a misplaced superkick from YO-HEY. YO-HEY would get kicked out of the faction but spark the intrigue of NOAH&#8217;s Main Unit. YO-HEY would join NOAH&#8217;s Main Unit, eliciting dislike from its member <strong>Hajime Ohara<\/strong> due to YO-HEY&#8217;s betrayal during their <strong>Full Throttle Days<\/strong>. This would be showcased in a major way in the upcoming <strong><em>N-Innovation <\/em><\/strong>show.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">One of the most notable things about YO-HEY leaving is his part in the upcoming GHC Junior Heavyweight Tag Team Championship match. He&#8217;ll team with <strong>Atsushi Kotoge<\/strong> to face off against <strong>HAYATA<\/strong> and <strong>Yuya Susumu<\/strong>. The winners of that match will be becoming the new tag champions as the titles were vacated due to <strong>Seiki Yoshioka<\/strong> getting injured.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>Hajime Ohara Leaves NOAH&#8217;s Main Unit &amp; Joins KONGO<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>Hajime Ohara<\/strong> showcased a major dislike for YO-HEY joining NOAH&#8217;s Main Unit. This frustration was showcased in the <em>N-Innovation<\/em> on February 17. After losing a match on that event, Ohara announced his departure from NOAH&#8217;s Main Unit &amp; joined KONGO. Hajime Ohara has a documented history with KONGO&#8217;s leader, <strong>Kenoh<\/strong>, with both being former 2x GHC Jr. Heavyweight Tag Team Champions. Since the departure of <strong>HAOH<\/strong> to NOAH&#8217;s main unit, from his defection from KONGO, the latter faction needed another good junior talent; Hajime Ohara may be the one to step up to the plate.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>Los Perros el Mal de Jap\u00f3n Looks for New Members; Expect Newcomers Next Month<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Since the group&#8217;s debut, Los Perros el Mal de Jap\u00f3n has been a dominant force in the junior tag team division. New members have come in left and right. One of its most recent members is <a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/prowrestling\/2021\/12\/16\/andnew-super-crazy-world-junior-ajpw\/\" target=\"_self\"><strong>Super Crazy<\/strong><\/a>, who made his return to Pro Wrestling NOAH earlier this year. Currently, Super Crazy is the next contender for the GHC Junior Heavyweight Championship and will face Daisuke Harada at <em>GAIN CONTROL in NAGOYA<\/em>. However, that&#8217;s not the only thing that&#8217;s been known.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Recent tweets from the group&#8217;s leader, <strong>NOSAWA Rongai<\/strong>, have been hinting at potential new members for the faction. New members have been needed since the departure of YO-HEY. Newcomers could be seen very soon, too. Some of the rumors to be believed could be part of either <em>N-Innovation <\/em>or the <em><strong>MAJESTIC<\/strong><\/em> two-night event. Completely dedicated to NOAH&#8217;s juniors, MAJESTIC is set for April 29.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><i>Stay tuned to the\u00a0<\/i><a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/prowrestling\/\" target=\"_self\"><i>Last Word on Pro Wrestling<\/i><\/a><i>\u00a0for more on this and other stories from around the world of wrestling, as they develop.
