On the second day, a double pre match will be held with the taste of the first encounter between Jack Morris and Naomichi Marufuji.

Sparks will fly every day in the pre-matches for Nagoya's GHC Tag Team Championship match, Hideki Suzuki & Timothy Thatcher (Champions) vs Takashi Sugiura & Satoshi Kojima (Challengers). On the first day, which will be a six man tag match, "Taka & Satoshi" and Masaaki Mochizuki will form the "Trio Born in 1970", on the second day it will be the first single showdown of Sugiura vs Thatcher. 

In the opening match of the first day, Taishi Ozawa, who is Noah's first rookie in about two years since Yasutaka Yano, will make his debut. Ozawa, who has been in training for a long time, is twenty-five years old and from Shizuoka City. A heavyweight candidate with a good physique of 181cm and 87 kg, he will make his debut as a pro wrestler in a singles match against Yoshiki Inamura. 

The Mexican, "Amazing Aerial Technique Brothers", Dragon Bane and Alpha Wolf will continue to participate. On the second day, a super acrobatic fight of "the brothers showdown", following the 3rd September Osaka event, which became a big event, will happen as soon as possible. On the first day, they will form a Lucha Quartet with Xtreme Tiger and Alejandro, and face off against Kondo and the Kongoh Quartet in an eight man tag. 

After finishing the N-1, it looks as if Noah as a whole, will have a two day period that will invigorate the movement for leadership and new developments.
