(NOAH) "I don't want to lose to the World Cup!" Kenoh willfully announces his appointment as the GM of Noah on the 1st January Nippon Budokan event

On the 7th December, Kenoh aroused a sense of urgency about the GHC Heavyweight Championship match at the Nippon Budokan event on January 1st. After the 10th November Korakuen Hall event, he announced a challenge to the champion, Kaito Kiyomiya, and won the next day on the 11th by pinfall. Kenoh got off to a good start, but at the 23rd November Yoyogi event, he was defeated by Kiyomiya's Transformed Shining Wizard. 

"While feeling frustrated, I watched the World Cup, Japan vs Germany match on ABEMA. Keisuke Honda's commentary was interesting, and I was excited when Japan caused a big upset, but I became even more frustrated when I saw the number of viewers. Subsequently, the number of ABEMA viewers for the World Cup is going to be amazing. We, Noah, are also broadcast on ABEMA, so in other words the World Cup is also a rival and yet the top of the GHC Heavyweight Championship has stopped. The reason is that Kiyomiya doesn't send out information, and on the flip side, it's my fault for losing in Yoyogi on November 23rd. The number of views for Japan vs Germany exceeded 10 million. Japan versus Costa Rica exceeded 14 million, and Japan vs Spain exceeded 17 million, and Japan vs Croatia exceeded 24 million, and this was with admission restrictions. They broke records one after another with over 24 million." 

For Kenoh, who will challenge for the GHC Heavyweight Championship in Noah on the 1st January at The Nippon Budokan, which will be a free broadcast on ABEMA, the excitement of the World Cup on the channel seems to be directly linked to his sense of crisis. Primarily, as champion, he is in a position where he has to do various techniques, but at the 23rd November Yoyogi event, he lost directly to the champion, Kiyomiya who verbally attacked him saying, "Why did you lose to the guy who is "just trying his best?" It figures, you are all just mouth, aren't you?". Firstly, in order to prove that he is not just "mouth", his first priority is to fight back in the ring aiming for the pre match matches at the December 14th Aizu Wakamatsu event and the December 19th Korakuen event. However, there is no transmission from the champion here too. 

"I am seriously thinking of going head to head against The Great Muta vs Shinsuke Nakamura at the Nippon Budokan on the 1st January, and Naomichi Marufuji and KENTA'S reunion, and I don't want to lose to the World Cup. It might not be the time to say this as I lost the last pre match, but from today onwards, I want to use all kinds of methods to liven things up. From now on, please call me the GM (General Manager) of the 1st January Noah Nippon Budokan ABEMA event". 

Kenoh, who has one of the best communication skills in pro wrestling, declares that he will appeal just like Keisuke Honda who was the GM of the World Cup ABEMA broadcast, as he himself is a main eventer and the GM of the 1st January Nippon Budokan Noah event. I can't wait for him to show me what he can do in the future.
