Two Title Matches To Headline NOAH Kawasaki Summer Voyage 2026

Two championships will be defended at Pro Wrestling NOAH’s upcoming Kawasaki Summer Voyage show on Sunday, August 23, at CULTTZ Kawasaki.

The first championship bout of the evening will see HAYATA defend the GHC200 Championship against Katsumi Inahata in his first title defence. HAYATA captured the newly introduced championship on August 10 after defeating Tetsuya Endo in the tournament final to crown its inaugural champion. This will also mark Inahata’s first title challenge since making his NOAH debut on January 2.

GHC200 Championship matches have unique rules that set the title apart from most others. Each defence has a 200-second time limit, or three minutes and 20 seconds, making it somewhat comparable to WWE’s Speed concept.

The other championship bout will see JŌNETSU MAX’s Manabu Soya and Yuki Iino defend the GHC Tag Team Championship against Kazuyuki Fujita and Yoshiki Inamura. Soya and Iino captured the titles on June 25 after defeating BUSHI and Tetsuya Naito, before successfully defending them against Masa Kitamiya and Takashi Sugiura. Fujita and Inamura then emerged as the next challengers.

Fujita and Inamura are not an established tag team, having teamed together just six times in total. However, both men are former GHC Heavyweight Champions, giving them plenty of individual pedigree and the potential to cause an upset against the reigning champions.

NOAH’s Kawasaki Summer Voyage will air live on Wrestle Universe from 4 p.m. in Japan, 8 a.m. in the United Kingdom, and 3 a.m. Eastern Time in the United States.
