Event

[edit]

The event started with the preshow singles confrontation between Kai Fujimura and Kinya Okada solded with the victory of the latter.

In the first main card bout, Kotaro Suzuki and Yo-Hey picked up a victory over Seiki Yoshioka and Yuya Susumu in tag team action. Next up, Akitoshi Saito, King Tany and Mohammed Yone defeated Daiki Inaba, Masa Kitamiya and Yoshiki Inamura in six-man tag team action. In the fourth bout, Atsushi Kotoge and Daisuke Harada, Hajime Ohara, Kaito Kiyomiya and Yasutaka Yano picked up a victory over Aleja, Hao, Manabu Soya, Nio and Tadasuke in ten-man tag team competition. Next up, Hayata and Yoshinari Ogawa defeated Eita and Nosawa Rongai to win the GHC Junior Heavyweight Tag Team Championship, ending the latter team's reign at 49 days and one successful defense. In the semi main event, GHC Tag Team Champions Keiji Muto and Naomichi Marufuji alongside Masato Tanaka defeated Kazushi Sakuraba, Kazuyuki Fujita and Takashi Sugiura in six-man tag team action. On the night of the event, it was announced that New Japan Pro Wrestling's Kenta would make his return to Noah at The New Year 2022 on January 1.[4][5]

In the main event, Katsuhiko Nakajima and Kenoh went into a sixty-minute time-limit draw in a bout where they defended the GHC Heavyweight Championship and GHC National Championship in a winner-takes all stipulation. Both champions retained their respective titles, therefore Nakajima secured his second defense of that respective reign of his title, and Kenoh the first one.[6][7] After the bout concluded, a returning Go Shiozaki laid a title challenge to Nakajima in a bout which was set for The New Year 2022 on January 1.[8]
