Noah's Shuhei Taniguchi (42) became a ruthless demon on the 15th towards taking the belt.
In May, he returned to his real name after about seven years of being Maybach Taniguchi, and formed a tag team with GHC Heavyweight champion, Kaito Kiyomiya (23). At the Aomori Mutsu Grand Hotel Tournament on the 21st, they will challenge the GHC Heavyweight Tag Team champions Katsuhiko Nakajima (31) and Go Shiozaki (37).

Shiozaki is his former tag partner, who he won the GHC Tag Championship with in December 2016. However, he said "He is always looking down on me. I don't like it. Always self important...(rough)"
Loaded with long lasting bitterness he said, "I won't take the advantage until the title match, but I will make sure to torment him until the crucial moment" (rough).

At today's Korakuen Hall, he attacked Shiozaki who had just returned from "left knee joint and medial collateral ligament injury" with the predicted action in the six man tag.
The attack was concentrated on the left knee, and in the end he took the win with the modified camel clutch variant on the left shoulder. He said with a fearless smile, "I am not just aiming at one place".

Shiozaki was injured with left shoulder subluxation on the 16th in Kanagawa, and will miss the Shin Yuri Twenty One Hall tournament.
Can the madness of Taniguchi cut the heads off the snakes?
