GHC Heavyweight Championship Match Kaito Kiyomiya vs Ricky Knight Jr.
GHC Heavyweight Champion Kiyomiya successfully defended his title for the fourth time in London, England. He won a heated battle with Knight Jr. to bring NOAH’s first “UK tour” in 13 years to a close, and a “showdown” with Masa Kitamiya, who has announced himself as the next challenger, has now been set.
NOAH’s first UK tour in about 13 years. In the main event of the final day of the three-match series in London, he faced off against Knight Jr., a talented fighter of the same generation.
At the Manchester event the night before, Knight Jr. won by pinfall against Kiyomiya. He continued to push Kiyomiya hard in the title match that day as well.
He caught Kiyomiya’s Frankensteiner in mid-air and delivered the Liger Bomb, and in the striking battle he pushed back with a reverse chop. On the other hand, he held Kiyomiya down and then delivered a Black Tiger Bomb, and continued to dominate with a variety of moves.
Kiyomiya also knocked down a Lionsault-style body attack with a dropkick. He also successfully launched a Tiger Suplex on the apron side, which caused a big roar in the arena, but Knight Jr. was not stopped. He counterattacked and dropped a 450° Splash, which was avoided but landed. On the contrary, he tried to finish off the opponent with the Good Night Driver (Fire Thunder), which he had used to get the pinfall the night before.
However, Kiyomiya also kicked out tonight. Knight Jr. then went into position for a Reverse Gory Special Bomb, but Kiyomiya desperately spun around to avoid it, and a triangular jump shining came back from the dead, landing a clean hit. He immediately followed up with a LOVE pose followed by a modified shining to get the three-count.
Kiyomiya, who won the Japan-UK new generation showdown and successfully defended his GHC Heavyweight title for the fourth time, became the first person in history to simultaneously win N-1 and Noah, and stood at the “top” of Noah in both name and reality. He also put together a fierce V4 finish on Noah’s first UK tour in 13 years.
The London crowd gave an enthusiastic cheer, but before they could even enjoy the afterglow, the next challenger appeared. It was Kitamiya.
Kitamiya then began his microphone appeal in English, “Thank you for coming today. This is Pro Wrestling Noah. Please forget about my match for the Progress Championship today (which I failed to win in a 3-way match). However, Luke Jacobs was a great champion. I would like to face him in a singles match next time,” he said, handing Kibis back to face Kiyomiya.
He had just drawn with Kiyomiya in the official “N-1 VICTORY” match at the Sendai tournament on August 18th. “Kiyomiya, the N-1 match ended in a draw after 30 minutes. Let’s settle this. Please accept me with that big heart. The next challenger is Masaki Tamiya!” he declared.
Kiyomiya immediately responded on the microphone in English, saying, “Masa Kitamiya, we drew last month. I’m going to beat you!”, and with the belt raised, the two men glared at each other, and a “decisive battle” for the GHC Heavyweight title between the two rivals was decided.
After Kitamiya left, the champion took the microphone again and began speaking in English again. When he shouted “Thank you London!”, the crowd erupted in a chorus of “Please come back to England!”
Kiyomiya continued speaking with a smile, “Thank you Ricky (Knight Jr.) Let’s wrestle again. How was the NOAH show!? UK pro wrestling is so hot! Great! And I promise you, I’ll beat Masa Kitamiya and come back to London again,” and the crowd erupted in cheers. He ended the show by shouting, “I love London! I love London!” This was the first UK tour for NOAH in 13 years, and his presence as the “unwavering center of NOAH” was even more prominent.
