The full card for NOAH’s Wrestle Odyssey II is now available to fans.

Following the events of NOAH’s Legacy Rise event on Thursday, the full card for NOAH’s massive Wrestle Odyssey II show has been unveiled. The show will feature 10 matches, including the dark match, and will include six title matches.

Wrestle Odyssey II will take place on Sunday, October 25, inside the famed Ryogoku Kokugikan, otherwise known as Sumo Hall, in Tokyo. The main event of the evening will see the reigning GHC Heavyweight Champion, Tetsuya Naito, attempt to earn his first defense of the title against OZAWA, the man who previously won the N-1 Victory.

OZAWA will attempt to quickly end Naito’s reign and take back the same belt that he lost in July of last year.

Team 2000X will have members in two other title matches on the card, as Kai Fujimura will defend his GHC Junior Heavyweight Title against Dragon Bane, while Jun Masaoka and YO-HEY will defend their newly won GHC Jr. Heavyweight Tag Team Championships against Alejandro and Daiki Odashima.

Elsewhere on the card, Manabu Soya and Yuki Iino will defend their GHC Tag Team Titles in a three-way match against Doc Gallows and Karl Anderson of the Good Brothers and Shane Haste and his long time tag partner Mikey Nichols from TMDK, HAYATA will look to continue his reign as GHC200 Champion against Shuji Kondo, and Naomichi Marufuji will look to continue his long reign as GHC National Champion against the recently unveiled Luis Mante.

Shuhei Taniguchi, who recently announced his intention to retire in January, will return one last time to team up with KENTA against Masa Kitamiya and Takashi Sugiura, Kaito Kiyomiya and Yoshiki Inamura will team up with Kenoh and Kouga in a special tag team match, there will be a four way tag team clash, and the new G-REX Champion Atsushi Kotoge will pair off with Hi69 against Hiroyo Tsuruya and Hiroya Namiki.
