10 talents missed NOAH’s January 16th event due to COVID protocols. This led to the company opting to strip Yoshinari Ogawa and HAYATA of the GHC Junior Heavyweight Tag Titles because Ogawa was not able to make his scheduled title defense. New champions were crowned at the ‘Higher Ground’ show.
Nakajima’s next defense of the GHC Heavyweight Title is set for February 23rd when he defends against Kazuyuki Fujita.
