Originally published at Pro Wrestling NOAH vacates GHC Junior Heavyweight Tag Titles

NOAH’s GHC Junior Tag Titles have been vacated once again.

It was on 1/22 that Seiki Yoshioka and Yuya Susumu captured the vacant GHC Junior Heavyweight Tag Team Titles.

NOAH made the announcement that the titles are now being vacated due to Yoshioka being sidelined with a broken right heel bone. As a result of this news, the tag match on 2/23 that will see HAYATA and Yuya Susumu team up to take on YO-HEY and Atsushi Kotoge will be for the vacant tag titles.

This is the second time this year that the GHC Junior Tag Titles have been vacated. Yoshinari Ogawa and HAYATA were stripped of the belts. Ogawa was one of ten active talents on the NOAH roster to test positive for COVID-19 and he was not able to make his upcoming title defense so he and HAYATA were stripped.

God, between this and the recent Muto debacle NOAH’s going through an NJPW-level wringer. Their main event scene is still super strong and compelling, but there’s a reason I barely pay any attention to their mid-card/junior mix.
