Pro Wrestling NOAH

Pro Wrestling NOAH will hold its THE GIFT 2020 in NAGOYA show in Nagoya Congress Center tomorrow.

The full card is:

• Hajime Ohara vs. Yasutaka Yano
• Akitoshi Saito, Masao Inoue and Masashi Aoyagi vs. Katsuhiko Nakajima, Manabu Soya and Masa Kitamiya
• Atsushi Kotoge and Junta Miyawaki vs. HAYATA and Yoshinari Ogawa
• Go Shiozaki and Kinya Okada vs. Mohammed Yone and Shuhei Taniguchi
• Kotaro Suzuki vs. Susumu
• Haoh, Kenoh and Nioh vs. Naomichi Marufuji, Seiki Yoshioka and YO-HEY
• GHC Junior Heavyweight Championship: Daisuke Harada (c) vs. Tadasuke
• GHC Tag Team Championships: Kazushi Sakuraba and Takashi Sugiura (c) vs. Kaito Kiyomiya and Yoshiki Inamura

Susumu will make his singles match debut against Kotaro Suzuki. Susumu originally debuted as the masked Salvaje de Oriente but betrayed Suzuki at NOAH the BEST ~FINAL CHRONICLE 2020~ on December 6, unmasked and joined HAYATA and Yoshinari Ogawa in Stinger.

Daisuke Harada will make his first defense of the GHC Junior Heavyweight Championship against Tadasuke.

Kazushi Sakuraba and Takashi Sugiura will make their third defense of the GHC Tag Team Championships against Kaito Kiyomiya and Yoshiki Inamura in the main event. It is absolutely worth noting Inamura picked up his first major victory by pinning Yuko Miyamoto NOAH the BEST ~FINAL CHRONICLE 2020~ and securing another victory over Sakuraba or Sugiura would be huge for NOAH’s blossoming star.

Keiji Mutoh went for his first knee checkup in six months and tweeted there are no issues. He is scheduled to challenge Go Shiozaki for the GHC Heavyweight Championship in the Nippon Budokan in February.
