On the 27th, the GHC Heavyweight Championship was held at the Kultz Kawasaki, Kanagawa event when champion Kaito Kiyomiya (23) defeated challenger Katsuhiko Nakajima (31) and succeeded in his fifth defense.

It became a defense against the evil heavy kicks of the challenger along with dangerous kicks from the apron, Death Valley Driver from the ramp, and the deadly vertical spike.

The young ace, who turned 23 on the 17th, was about to lose consciousness many times. However, after 24 minutes, a quick attack with a fast elbow started, followed by an Avalanche Reversal DDT, an onslaught with a modified Emerald Flowsion, and an insane Tiger Driver. The last was a ferocious Tiger Bomb, in which the championship was defended after two consecutive strikes.

On August 18, the "N-1 VICTORY", the evolved Global League, will open at the Nagoya International Convention Center. However, Kiyomiya has declared that he will not enter the league, saying "I will bring Noah a new outlook, and increase the value of this belt in my own way."

Kiyomiya, as champion, will wait for the winner of the league (September 16th, Edion Arena, Osaka 1st Stadium), and the defensive match will be the main event at Sumo Hall on November 2nd, the first big match of the new Noah.

After defeating Takashi Sugiura (49) in December last year, Naomichi Marufuji (39), and then again Sugiura, and from this day the fifth defense by beating Nakajima and becoming Noah's symbol.
He has more than enough qualifications.

On the 25th, the partnership with Major League Wrestling (MLW), who are based in New York, was announced with the participation of the first generation champion Alex Hammerstone (28) and El Hijo Del Doctor Wagner Jnr (27) announced.
Additionally, the first participation of the UFC Hall of Fame "IQ Wrestler", Kazushi Sakuraba (50) who Kiyomiya received coaching from in March. Sakuraba's first participation in Noah has been decided.
The environment surrounding Kiyomiya is evolving to a fulfilling one.

The young champion screamed, "I will fight for this belt with the wrestler who has won the N-1, and determined to be the strongest single wrestler. I will continue to evolve in my own way!".
The "Kiyomiya Revolution" starts with the newly born Noah.
