Prior to Noah's Korakuen Hall event, which will resume on Saturday July 18th, Noah conducted a saliva sampling PCR test for all wrestlers, ringside staff and runners, who will participate on the day. We would like to inform you that all the wrestlers and staff who were tested were negative. 

Due to the nature of professional wrestling, that involves physical contact, the test was conducted in cooperation with ABEMA to create an environment in which customers who come to the venue can watch with peace of mind, it is also for the wrestlers and staff to safely carry out the event. In order to prevent the spread of infection, Pro Wrestling Noah will continue to hold the event by thoroughly managing the health of both athletes and staff, and preventing infections based on the advice of the government, experts and related ministries.

Comment from Naomichi Marufuji

"This inspection is absolutely essential to compete in front of the customers who have been waiting through this period of self restraint. I am really grateful to the company and ABEMA for creating the situation to be examined. We would like to show the customers, who have been absent and watched the broadcasts, something absolutely fantastic."

Comment from Kaito Kiyomiya

"Despite the restrictions, everyone who supports Noah, will gather at the venue. As a wrestler who will be standing in the ring there, I want you to get rid of anxiety of corona, and become 100% enthusiastic about pro wrestling, so I had a test. I have done everything I can to prepare for the restart, so I am looking forward to the moment I am standing before you."
