Pro Wrestling NOAH continued the SUNNY VOYAGE 2023 Tour today with an event headlined by an All-Japan World Tag Team Championship match. Kenoh & Manabu Soya are the champions but Suwama & KONO were looking to take the title back to All-Japan.
Today’s event was held at Kobe Sambo Hall in Kobe and will be available on demand on WRESTLE UNIVERSE at a later date (probably Wednesday). There was no live broadcast.
The announced paid attendance was 891, a full house/near sellout. That’s the biggest crowd by a considerable amount for anyone in the venue since at least pre-pandemic.
