A new enemy has appeared for Noah's former GHC Heavyweight Champion, Kaito Kiyomiya (23). 

At the TV match "NOAH NEW HOPE" which was broadcast on the 31st, it was the occasion when Kiyomiya was fighting a tough fight against junior Yoshiki Inamura (27). Although it was a scene with many twists, Kiyomiya won in the end with a vertical drop type reverse DDT and showed dignity in triumph. 

Kiyomiya, who had the leading role in the show, had won the main event single matches twice in a row. He was saying, "I can't be afraid of failure. I will change this ring into one that will attract more attention than any other promotion". 

Then out of nowhere, former W-1 champion, Daiki Inaba (32) appeared. The two went through a silent staredown, and there was a tense mood. 

For a while now, Kiyomiya has been saying that he would like to complete with Keiji Mutoh (57), who is a "Professional Wrestling Master". Mutoh responded in an interview with this newspaper with, "I will do my best to crush him like a lion." 

The other day, he wanted the experience the Rainmaker as he is eager for the first confrontation with Kazuchika Okada (32) of New Japan Pro Wrestling. Eager for his first confrontation, he is looking for stimulation in all directions of the industry. Meanwhile, he has no intention of rejecting the unexpected appearance of Inaba. 

They fought together at the W-1 Osaka event last year, but "Why exactly did you want to come here? You had a different look from when we tagged once. I am willing to accept anyone's challenge, and I will do my best". 

It will be important to note if this is the birth of a worthy opponent.
