NOAH CARD: SUNNY VOYAGE 2023 (Bandaijima Multipurpose Plaza "Ookama", Sunday May 28th)

Noah return to the venue which was once an old fish market, but has now been converted into a hall. As it was originally built for the sale of fresh produce, the building stands next to a canal. So far, YO-HEY has almost been thrown in, as has Junta Miyawaki, both thanks to Naomichi Marufuji, but the question has been, who is going to get thrown in? As well as the threat/promise of someone going in the water, tonight sees the final pre match for the GHC Junior Tag which will be fought on 31st May. Go Shiozaki has called this his favorite venue. 

Doors will open at 16:30 with the first bell sounding at 17:30. Junta Miyawaki, AMAKUSA and Kaito Kiyomiya will be on autographs. Broadcast will be delivered at 6pm JST on May 31st. 

You can read up about Noah's last show here, or watch it on WrestleUniverse. Post match promos from that event can be found here.

Card

MATCH ONE

Hajime Ohara vs Daishi Ozawa

There was a time, before he joined Kongoh that is, when Hajime Ohara was actually quite helpful to the rookies. He enjoyed teaching rather than hurting and saw the inevitable finish (they would tap) as part of that process, but sadly for Ozawa he is not going to get to experience that Ohara. This Ohara is a brutally dark and angry one, who is now out to hurt, rather than to instruct. 

MATCH TWO

HAYATA & Lanzelot vs Dante Leon & Super Crazy

HAYATA and Dante Leon fight another pre match for the GHC Junior, which so far has not resulted in any direct wins for each of them over the other. Lanzelot tonight gets to further beat up on his uncle, who pulled the same expression of disbelief all the seniors do when their young start being cocky. I get this feeling that with Eita not here tonight (unless of course he is hiding under the ring), that STINGER will crash this match. 

MATCH THREE

Kongoh (Kenoh, Manabu Soya & Hi69) vs Sean Legacy, Xtreme Tiger & Stallion Rogers

Kenoh has a busy weekend, Noah today and the All Japan World Tag championship tomorrow, but tonight he has to deal with enemies within Noah. Not that Sean Legacy, Xtreme Tiger or Stallion Rogers have ever done anything to him, but Kenoh will probably be immediately irritated by something. Hi69, the rising star of Kongoh and apparently the leader of the juniors, has the chance to get a big win for his team. 

MATCH FOUR

Naomichi Marufuji & Mohammed Yone vs THE TOUGH (Masa Kitamiya & Yoshiki Inamura)

Real aren't here tonight, so there is no pre match for THE TOUGH, but they get to take on two walls in the way of Yoshiki Inamura; Naomichi Marufuji and Mohammed Yone. I can imagine that Marufuji will join in with Yone's Disco poses. 

MATCH FIVE

STINGER (Yoshinari Ogawa, Chris Ridgeway & Daga) vs AMAKUSA, Junta Miyawaki & Alejandro

Yoshinari Ogawa is probably still in one of his spiteful moods, which probably means that he will target Junta Miyawaki and try and pull Alejandro's mask off. Depending on what happened with HAYATA earlier (if anything) could dictate what is going to happen either during or after the match. 

MATCH SIX

Good Looking Guys (Jake Lee, Anthony Green, YO-HEY & Tadasuke) vs Takashi Sugiura, Shuhei Taniguchi, Atsushi Kotoge & Seiki Yoshioka

Two pre matches happen in this match; Jake Lee and Takashi Sugiura fight over the GHC Heavyweight. Their last fight, Sugiura almost choked Jake out (he was saved by Tadasuke) and they had a massive brawl after the match and had to be pulled apart by their teams. As for the GHC Junior Heavyweight Tag Champions, YO-HEY has requested for their own opponents, Seiki Yoshioka and Atsushi Kotoge, to show them as much intensity as Sugiura and Jake. This match is going to be explosive. 

MATCH SEVEN

AXIZ (Go Shiozaki & Katsuhiko Nakajima) vs Kaito Kiyomiya & Daiki Inaba

The card tonight is funny as there isn't any title match pre match in this match, and the two teams are not really rivals, so there isn't really a lot to say except that as well as AXIZ reuniting, so are Kaito Kiyomiya and Daiki Inaba. Inaba of course has a massive grudge against Katsuhiko Nakajima due to the long running WRESTLE-1 feud over Nakajima's behavior (and subsequent behavior) and of course, Go Shiozaki and Kaito Kiyomiya have their own history; namely two Noah Born with a mentor-student relationship.
