After the match, Tadasuke grabbed the microphone and made a challenge to the new Junior Tag Champions, and the champions had no choice but to accept. The Kongoh juniors have been rather quiet during the ongoing junior war, but now they\u2019ve seemed to have awakened.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">The history between Tadasuke and Harada specifically is storied dating back to <strong>Osaka Pro<\/strong>, and in NOAH lore, the unit <strong>RATELS<\/strong>. However this isn\u2019t about any history it\u2019s simply about Kongoh wanting to capture junior gold, and Ohara and Harada wanting to continue the reign. Will Ohara and Harada be able to overcome this obstacle or will Kongoh finally see junior championship gold enter the unit.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3 class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Keiji Muto and Yoshinari Ogawa vs Kaito Kiyomiya and Kotaro Suzuki<\/span><\/h3>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Kaito Kiyomiya has been chasing Keiji Muto since he came to NOAH. Even most recently unsuccessfully challenging Keiji Muto for the GHC Heavyweight Championship. He now has a chance to take down Muto, but with a tag title challenge looming and an the midst of an ongoing slump Kaito might struggle to produce results. Kotaro Suzuki is notably the pupil of Yoshinari Ogawa. Despite their parts in the ongoing junior war, they serve a significant part as the partners in this match.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Ogawa and Kotaro know each other better than any other juniors in this company t<\/span><span class=\"s1\">hey can almost mirror each other\u2019s every move. As for the Keiji Muto perspective, he has been very vocal about wanting to team with Yoshinari Ogawa more showing an understanding of why <strong>Mitsuharu Misawa<\/strong> chose him as a tag partner. Muto feels it\u2019s the closest he will get to tagging with Misawa. Who will come out on top in this all-star tag team match?<\/span><\/p>\n<h3 class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">GHC Heavyweight Championship: Naomichi Marufuji(c) vs Takashi Sugiura<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/imgur.com\/vQHIJDI\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone\" title=\"source: imgur.com\" src=\"https:\/\/i.imgur.com\/vQHIJDI.jpg\" alt=\"Naomichi Marufuji vs Takeshi Sugiura Match Graphic\" width=\"600\" height=\"338\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Takashi Sugiura picked up a win against Naomichi Marufuji in a recent tag match. Afterward, the GHC National Champion declared his decision to challenge Marufuji for his GHC Heavyweight Championship as he has not held the new version of the belt. Both men are four-time GHC Heavyweight titleholders and Sugiura is looking to be the first man to get to five reigns. Now, these two are no strangers to one another. They\u2019ve clashed many times before, and for heavyweight gold too.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">In a sense, this championship match is the embodiment of NOAH. They\u2019ve both been here since the beginning, and stuck around even through the most difficult of times. The two men had a time limit draw in an exhibition to preview their title match. However, no one gained a distinct upper hand, so the question remains who is truly the strongest? They will get to find out in Sendai.<\/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=\"s3\">Last Word on Pro Wrestling<\/span><\/a>\u00a0for more on this and other stories from around the world of wrestling, as they develop.
