On the 7th and 8th October in the two consecutive events at Korakuen Hall, Noah's grand autumn event, the battle for the 30th October Ariake show begins. Various cards are lined up with every element fleshed out in the preliminaries. 

On the first day (7th), the main event is the first round of the pre-match for the GHC Heavyweight Championship at Ariake has been set up, (Champion) Kaito Kiyomiya vs Kazuyuki Fujita (Challenger). Kiyomiya, who once again stood on top of Noah at the 9/25 Nagoya event, nominated Fujita himself as the "opponent he must overcome" in order to embody "our professional wrestling". The days of trial and error begin to break through Fujita's "strength" head-on. Fujita, has unexpectedly aimed at the championship for the first time in half a year, and at the timing when his teacher, Antonio Inoki, passed away.

The card is Kaito Kiyomiya and Yoshiki Inamura vs Kazuyuki Fujita & Hideki Suzuki. While Kiyomiya will team up with our member Inamura, Fujita will team up with Suzuki, who graduated from IGF and had a close relationship with Inoki. 

Kiyomiya will be participating in the main event for two days in a row. On the second day (8th), the main event will be Kaito Kiyomiya & Ninja Mack vs HAYATA & Jack Morris, which will be the "GHC Heavyweight vs GHC Junior" champion showdown. This is a notable combo with Ninja, who is preparing to challenge for the GHC Junior. These two days will be a time when his ability as a champion will be put to the test once again as he faces Morris, a candidate for his "foreign rival".   

For Ariake's GHC National Championship match, (Champion) Masakastu Funaki vs Kazushi Sakuraba (challenger), a pre-match will be held from the semi-final on the first day (7th). It will be the first one-on-one fight in 15 years since 2007's New Year's Eve "Dynamite". The pre match battle card is an eight-man tag match, realizing a gorgeous quarter in which Sakuraba teams up with Takashi Sugiura, Satoshi Kojima and Naomichi Marufuji. Funaki will form the Kongoh Heavyweight Quartet with Kenoh, Katsuhiko Nakajima & Manabu Soya. This will be a gorgeous 8-man tag battle, that will go beyond the framework of a mere skirmish. 

For Ariake's GHC Junior Heavyweight Championship Match, (Champion) HAYATA vs Ninja Mack (Challenger), the two men will clash over two days. On the first day (7th) a tag match match of HAYATA & Chris Ridgeway vs Ninja Mack and Xtreme Tiger has been made. 

With the addition of unique foreign wrestlers, the Noah Juniors are becoming more diverse, and even as a pure tag match, it looks like it's going to be a spectacular battle of "techniques vs acrobatics". 

For Ariake's GHC Junior Tag Team Championship Match, (Champions) Atsushi Kotoge & Seiki Yoshioka vs (Challengers) Tadasuke & Hi69, will also see sparks flying over the course of two days. On the first day, The Noah Junior Regulars vs Kongoh Juniors, will be clash in an 8-man tag, that will be an all out war. In particular, hatred for Tadasuke is likely to be the focus. Kotoge was attacked immediately after winning the belt, and his forehead was split open, and Alejandro also had his mask ripped off, which is unrelated to the championship match. Kotoge and Tadasuke will have a singles match on the second day (8th).

In addition, Kendo Kashin will also participate for the two days, furthermore, he will form a unique trio with Masaaki Mochizuki and Masato Tanaka. On the second day (8th) they will face off against Sugiura, Kojima & Marufuji. The encounter between Kashin and "Taka & Satoshi" is a mixture of strange anxiety and strange expectations. 

Eita of PERROS DEL MAL DE JAPON, will also participate continuously for two days on both of which he will be in confrontations with NOSAWA and Super Crazy in six man tags. On the first day with Yoshinari Ogawa with whom he has a deep seated connection with, and on the second day he will clash with Shuji Kondo and the other Kongoh Juniors. The trend of the gunpowder keg of the Noah Junior's, is also likely to be a focus.
