(NOAH) Guide to "CyberFight Festival 2021"

ABOUT
On the 26th February 2021, the managers of CyberFight (led by Sanshiro Takagi, the President and CEO of CyberFight Co. Ltd), announced that they would be holding an annual event once a year the "CyberFight Festival", which would feature the promotions under the CyberFight umbrella (Noah, DDT, Tokyo Joshi and Ganbare ☆ Pro-wrestling). The card would feature inter promotional matches, each major title from each promotion (i.e. the Noah GHC Heavyweight) would be defended, and it would be up to each individual promotion to bring in outsiders if they wished. 

VENUE
The inaugural event in 2021 will be held on 6th June at The Super Saitama Arena, which is one of the largest venues in Japan. Doors will open at midday (12am JST), with the event starting at 2pm JST. Although the first three matches (I believe) may start at 12:45.

The event will be broadcast live on WrestleUniverse. You must be a subscriber to view this event as it will not be a free stream. You will also have the option to listen to it in English commentary if you wish.

Kenoh and Yukio Sakaguchi face off

TRIVIA
~ Due to a shoulder injury, it is unlikely that Go Shiozaki will be competing at the event. 
~ Kenoh declared he will not attend this CyberFight Festival or any other CyberFight Festival. However, after storming in to confront Sanshiro Takagi over it, he was ordered to be in it, and a fourteen man tag has been arranged. Kenoh then demanded that if he lost the match, that Sanshiro Takagi retired. Takagi said he wasn't even going to consider Kenoh;s request, and anyway times were too tough and Kenoh would not make a good manager. 
~ DDT'S Danshoku Dino and Sasandango announced that they wanted to take on The Sugiura Army. Takashi Sugiura commented that personally he was too busy with his title match against Kazushi Sakuraba, and such "comedians" would not be facing The Sugiura Army. Heads will roll, mainly Sanshiro Takagi's and Narihiro Takeda's if the match was arranged. The match is currently "under negotiation". Sasadango attempted to "break in" to Korakuen Hall (as Tokyo Sports) termed it on the 15th May when Noah was there, but found himself told to buy a ticket and then when he went to the reception desk to see if he could enter that way, he was confronted with "Noah's Gatekeeper", the woman who runs the desk and denied entry. He left some ramen noodles for Takashi Sugiura, which was given to him later by NOSAWA Rongai. Sugi gave one box to Noah's CEO, Narihiro Takeda. He returned in Yokohama on the 22nd May, but was removed from his seat (despite buying a ticket), due to the fact that he was wearing a wrestler mask and needed to take it off and wear a hygiene mask. Sasadango left leaving Allegra allergy medication (as Sugi had said he was allergic to him) and dumplings. Sugi, irritated gave them to Takeda. Bringing Deino with him, Sasadango finally got an answer after turning up at Korakuen Hall on the 31st. 
~ Kendo Kashin says that he won't be appearing. Kazuyuki Fujita has called Kenoh's behavior "idiotic".
~ YO-HEY, Yasutaka Yano and Kotaro Suzuki are not on the card due to Coronavirus.
