On the 24th, Noah's GHC National Champion, Kenoh (35), sent a bitter message to his next challenger, Kazushi Sakuraba (51). 

Kenoh succeeded in his second defense at the Yokohama Budokan event on the 22nd, by defeating the challenge of Kaito Kiyomiya (24). At the Yoyogi event on December 6th, his third defence which will be against Sakuraba has been arranged. At the press conference following the match he boasted, "Achievements, name, great opponents; I think I can create a new variety beyond him. I will create the legend of this red belt". 

Furthermore today, the cards of the Kongoh produce "DIAMOND3" (December 26th at Korakuen Hall) were announced. 
In the main event Kenoh will team with Jinsei Shinzaki (53) against Kaito Kiyomiya (24) and Daiki Inaba (32). The champion, who can't lose the belt before the tag with his teacher ruthlessly about Sakuraba and The Sugiura Army, "The belt doesn't suit the guy in the pro wrestling ring who is playful like he is in an Izakaya" (rough, does not translate well). I want to regain the tension in Kazushi Sakuraba. In the Yoyogi ring, I am thinking of bringing Kazushi Sakuraba back to his heyday in PRIDE, who fought with a sense of tension". 

Kenoh's theme is the "awakening" of the challenger.
