Following the conclusion of the Global League, NOAH will now be heading into two back to back shows on December 2 and 3.
Chairman Masayuki Uchida announced both event cards during a press conference. As both shows will feature potentially the final full showdowns for the NOAH vs Suzuki-gun war. Only one side will remain as champions when it is all said and done and a conclusion will be made for either side. Three title matches were made official as Nakajima will be defending against Suzuki, the newly crowned GHC Tag Champions in Archer and Smith will be taking on Shiozaki and Taniguchi, and then lastly Taichi will be receiving his challenger against Kotoge for the GHC Junior belt.
To break down the GHC Heavy title match it all comes about after Minoru Suzuki emerged victorious after besting Masa Kitamiya in the final of the Global League. Nakajima came out to confront Suzuki as the title match would be eminent. A stipulation though was also agreed upon by the two as the losing man will be forced out of the promotion for good. This means if Nakajima wins that Suzuki will be out of NOAH, or if Suzuki wins Nakajima will be forced out of the promotion himself. Nakajima has declared that he will defend NOAH to his final breath.
Uchida stated that he the December 3 event card has been set early and can change depending on the outcome of the big show before hand. As for the “final war” between the two groups, he knows he has come into office late into the mix, but his earnest intentions is to see NOAH regain their former position as a top level promotion in Japan.
