Kenoh (38), who leads Noah's Kongoh, is warming up a "certain plan" for the World Tag Team Championship. Along with Manabu Soya in the championship team, he will clash with Suwama & KONO of the villainous unit, "Voodoo Murders" (VM) in the first defense on May 21st at Kobe Sambo Hall. Confident of victory, Kenoh plots to use Suwama's alternate personality.

As Kenoh declared when he took the championship in March, he would defend the World Tag Championship, which is an All Japan Pro Wrestling belt, at Noah. However, regarding his opponent Suwama, he cut him down saying "Managing Director Suwama (who is said to have a different personality) is a great person, but as soon as he becomes Suwama, he is a wrestler who doesn't utilize what he has." At the All Japan Ota Ward event on the 7th, they fought hard in a six man tag pre match.

However, Kenoh lost the match, and after being attacked by powder thrown by the VM general manager, TARU, he fainted at Suwama's Rock Drop. He showed his failure as he was stuffed into a black bag called the "murder bag". Then, the next day, Kenoh put on a black garbage bag by a riverbed and published a video on YouTube as he yelled with a demonic expression, "I'm not ashamed at all! If anything, I really like this look!", which surprised fans and officials. Based on the sequence of events, he cursed Suwama saying, "Although he is of top class material in the Japanese pro wrestling world, he is still in that position after decades. After all, he's a petty man who is happy to put people into his bag". On top of that he even sent unnecessary advice to the bad boy, who is also in conflict with Sayaka Unagi, "Honestly, I think it's best not to mess around with girls, 'cause once you go there, there is no turning back." 

Confident of victory, Kenoh's tongue has only grown sharper. For the first defense match he has asserted, "For us, Suwama is just a good toy. I'm going to play, have fun and smash it". Furthermore, when asked about his goal as a champion, he bragged about transferring the jurisdiction of the World Tag Team Championship from the PWF Headquarters to Noah. Suwama is said to be the key person. Kenoh has also developed a wild theory, "This time, we won't just win, we'll let Suwama join our army. And I'll have Kohei Suwama as managing director to help transfer control from PWF to Noah. He's an executive, so he'll be useful to that extent". 

Does this mean that the humiliation from being stuffed into a bag has amplified his anger to this extent? The title match in Kobe is starting to stink.
