There was a series of big events that went down. With both a title change and betrayal. As the<a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/prowrestling\/2020\/12\/28\/natural-vibes-reunite\/\" target=\"_self\"> newly reformed <strong>Natural Vibes<\/strong> <\/a>trio of <strong>KZY<\/strong>, <strong>Susumu Yokosuka<\/strong>, and <strong>Genki Horiguchi<\/strong> re-established themselves. They regained the Open The Triangle Gate Championship, and they saved their defense record by defeating the previous champions. They looked to be headed toward certain defeat, but we saw yet another miscommunication from <strong>R.E.D.<\/strong> More specifically <strong>SBKENTo<\/strong> and <strong>Takashi Yoshida<\/strong> who had a miscommunication the day before in the preview match. Yoshida, who has been on quite the losing streak, took another loss after KZY choked him out with the Spider Twist. When SBKENTo accidentally hit him causing a total break down. Leading to the crowning of Natural Vibes.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">However, after the match is when things got very interesting. Takashi Yoshida went on one of his wild rants. Then attempted to kick SBKENTo out of R.E.D. However, things weren\u2019t what they seemed as he ended up being the one kicked out of R.E.D. With R.E.D. and SBKENTo labeling Yoshida a comedy wrestler. Citing that they don\u2019t need comedy wrestlers in R.E.D.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0 <\/span>Yoshida then said he doesn\u2019t understand pro wrestling anymore, and that he lost everything. He then shouted he needed someone to teach him pro wrestling.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Yoshida looked around before shouting for his senpai, and even Natural Vibes were confused. Then it was confirmed by Yoshida he was shouting for <strong>Masaaki Mochizuki<\/strong>! Mochizuki made his way out and asked Yoshida what did he want, because he didn\u2019t watch the match. Yoshida then asked Mochizuki to teach him pro wrestling. Mochizuki mentioned that the last two times he told him this, that he turned on him almost immediately. Yoshida then begged and proclaimed he has changed, and Mochizuki agreed to help.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">The two will team up on January 17th to test out their partnership. On that same show is when Natural Vibes will be holding their open auditions. Where they will fill out their group and become a complete unit once again. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><em><span class=\"s1\">Stay tuned to the\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/prowrestling\/\" target=\"_self\">Last Word on Pro Wrestling<\/a>\u00a0for more on this and other stories from around the world of wrestling, as they develop.
