Pro Wrestling NOAH resumed the never-ending SUNNY VOYAGE 2023 Tour today with a house show in Yokohama, the first official event of Mitsuharu Misawa Memorial Month.
Today’s event was held at Yokohama Radiant Hall in Yokohama and can be watched on demand on WRESTLE UNIVERSE.
The announced paid attendance was 310, a legit advance sellout.
There was a last-second change to this event because Junta Miyawaki suffered an injury at yesterday’s ALL TOGETHER AGAIN event. Spinal cord concussion. Out 2 weeks and will miss all of this month’s events (that means he will officially be out a month because after 6/24 the promotion is off until 7/9). Match 2 was changed as a result. It was also announced that Kaito Kiyomiya is off all events from 7/15 until the end of August due to New Japan participation in the annual G1 CLIMAX tournament. This will be the first time Kiyomiya has participated in the tournament. But don’t get too excited about a potential 3rd Kazuchika Okada fight forever…the way the blocks are, it could only happen if both make the Semifinals or Finals. That could also keep him out of this year’s N-1 VICTORY Tournament depending on when it will start. (Update: Kiyomiya will not be in N-1 VICTORY this year because of it)
Match 1: Seiki Yoshioka vs. Eita went to a 15 minute time limit draw.
Match 2: Yoshinari Ogawa & LEONA (Dradition) beat Atsushi Kotoge & Kai Fujimura. LEONA beat Fujimura with a Figure 4.
Match 3: Chris Ridgeway beat Tadasuke by submission.
Match 4: Go Shiozaki & Katsuhiko Nakajima beat Manabu Soya & Hajime Ohara. Nakajima pinned Ohara after Vertical Spike.
Match 5: Kaito Kiyomiya beat Sean Legacy.
Match 6: Masa Kitamiya, Yoshiki Inamura, Dante Leon & Alejandro beat HAYATA, Daiki Inaba, Super Crazy & Stallion Rogers. Leon pinned Crazy after Inferno.
Match 7: Jake Lee & YO-HEY beat Takashi Sugiura & AMAKUSA. Lee pinned AMAKUSA after FBS (Face Break Shot).
Main Event: Kenoh beat Hi69.
The next event is GREEN JOURNEY 2023 in NAGOYA on 6/17 at Nagoya International Conference Center Event Hall in Nagoya. 3 title matches headline including GHC Heavyweight Champion Jake Lee vs. Takashi Sugiura for the title in the main event. Live streaming on WRESTLE UNIVERSE in English only will begin at 1 AM PT/4 AM ET. This is an ABEMA exclusive broadcast in Japan (Japanese commentary will only be available on demand after the event).
