In the main event of the first RATELS produce show, the "Boss", the GHC Junior Heavyweight Champion, had a "champion showdown" with GHC Heavyweight Champion, Takashi Sugiura. At the end of the fierce fight, a chant of "RATELS" came from the audience.

This has been the first RATELS produced show. Otsuka and Ikemen bought an element of "fun" to the semi final, but it was the main event by Boss Harada that bought home the message of "battle" in the main event. For Daisuke Harada, this harked back to somethong special. Although this was "Junior Heavyweight vs Heavyweight Champion", he does not care about such a situation. "About a year after joining Noah, I fought a single match with Takashi Sugiura. I have wanted to do this in Noah for a long time as the reason was "I want to defeat Takashi Sugiura one day". I think I have grown since we last met four years ago, and I wanted stand before him again and beat him".
From the beginning of the match he had no need of useless tricks, and ran into Sugiura from the start. He used to heavy elbow (or shoulder tackle) to defeat him. Sugiura struck back with a huge blow, and continued like this until Harada was crawling on the mat. There was still light in his eyes. Elbow strikes followed as his arms were pulled up. He countered this with elbows of his own, and unexpectedly reversed this into a slam. Harada struck with the Katayama German and the volume rose within the hall. Sugiura kicked out, and countered with a front neck lock and knee strike to the face, but Harada continted to stand. This developed into a furious elbow war and in an elbow that aimed at a KO, Harada collapsed. Sugiura dragged him up and took the three counts with the slam.
Although it was a straight defeat, Sugiura acknowleged his opponent, and the crowd cheered for Harada.

After the main event, YO-HEY got on the microphone and asked the audience, "How was it?"
The audience responded with a RATELS chant.
YO-HEY asked "is it okay to do it a second time?"

The junior unit from Osaka has deepened Noah's presence at the beginning of summer.
