Noah held a conference in Tokyo for the GHC Heavyweight match signing for Sumo Hall on November 2nd.
The champion, Kaito Kiyomiya (23) will make his sixth defense against challenger Kenoh (34), who defeated Takashi Sugiura (49) on the 16th in Osaka, and who will challenge the champion as the first N-1 winner.

Kenoh, continuing to provoke the champion, said "Since Kiyomiya became the champion in December last year, the GHC front has been completely unstimulated. I will be the champion who will give inspiration and excitement."
Kiyomiya said with an intense expression, "Noah will take a leap forward, so I must show a new landscape".

In addition at the meeting, President Takeda (49) announced that there would be a new belt used from this match to celebrate the 20th anniversary of Noah next year, "we will renew it, while respecting its long history."
The new belt was shown, and the winner of the battle at Sumo Hall will put on the new symbol of Noah.

"The thoughts of many seniors are packed into this belt I have protected, but this new belt is packed with peoples thoughts," Kiyomiya said with shining eyes, "I want the new belt to be dyed in new colors."
Kenoh was waiting to snap at the young champion, "Just what do you think the new belt is packed with? Isn't that just an expensive belt, the parent company, LIDET ENTERTAINMENT were going to give to Kiyomiya? I don't want to do what the company expects. I will take it, and dye it the color of Kenoh. I have won the hard N-1. I don't know about the champion who fled because he was scared of the league, but I will make sure that Sumo Hall is fully booked."
Kiyomiya said about the decisive battle which will decide victory or defeat at Sumo Hall, "The fight with Kenoh has begun as if he is catching up. He says he doesn't want to lose. I want to maximize this rivalry and defeat him."
Then Kenoh said unusually exclaiming special feelings about Kiyomiya, "He did a single match before going abroad (Canada) for the first time (July 2017). When he came back from overseas, he did a single match (GHC Championship match in January the following year). He was 22 years old, and with a pure heart. Look at him now. He is warped by the parent company. On November 2nd, I will return your youth."
Kiyomiya responded with, "I am tired of this motherly gaze. I will defeat you and settle this. I had a good experience of watching N-1 from the outside".
Kenoh shot back with, "You don't have the ability to self produce. You have become a good guy without any intensity. I will bring out his true feelings."
For the two competitors, who do not yield their principals, the struggle will climax at Sumo Hall.

On October 3rd at Korakuen Hall, the Beast Kazuyuki Fujita (46) will form a tag with King Shame, Takashi Sugiura. They will clash with Shuhei Taniguchi and Hitoshi Kumano.
On the 16th in his first participation in Noah, he beat Yoshiki Inamura easily.
There is a strong possibility that Sugiura responded to the roar of the beast, who threw down Noah.
49 years old, Noah's strength and stamina, and popular at venues, Sugiura and the Bear are likely to cause a big swell on the Noah mat.
