By: Lewis Carlan

The Pro Wrestling NOAH “LETHAL ODYSSEY TOUR 2026” continued on Oct. 17th as the promotion held an event at the Nagano Arcs. There was an announced crowd of 332 fans in attendance with a full card of matches scheduled.

The main event was significant six man tag team bout that saw the GHC Tag Team Champions Manabu Soya & Yuki Iino team with Kaito Kiyomiya as they faced Karl Anderson, Luke Gallows & Dragon Bane.

The match served as a GHC Tag Team Championship preliminary as Soya & Iino will defend their titles at WRESTLE ODYSSEY II on Oct. 25 against Anderson & Gallows and Shane Haste & Mikey Nicolls in a triple threat title bout.

Soya & Iino made a statement that was most surely aimed at The Good Brothers as they led their team to a decisive victory. The bout came to an end after Soya & Iino hit a double clothesline on Bane in the corner which was followed by a front slam/DDT Combo on Bane. Soya covered Bane, the referee counted to three and the match was over at the 16:42 mark. Soya, Iino & Kiyomiya triumphantly address the crowd after the bout.

In the co-featured bout, OZAWA, Masa Kitamiya & Tadasuke faced GHC Heavyweight Champion Tetsuya Naito, BUSHI & RYUSEI. This match was a preliminary for Naito & OZAWA as the two will battle over the GHC Heavyweight Title on Oct. 25th at WRESTLE ODYSSEY II.

Team 2000x’s OZAWA, Kitamiya & Tadasuke were the better team on this occasion as they emerged victorious following a Saito Suplex by Kitamiya on RYUSEI.

During his post-match backstage comments, GHC Heavyweight Champion Tetsuya Naito discussed his upcoming title bout against OZAWA on Oct. 25th.

From Tetsuya Naito:

“Today was Nagano ARCS. Of course, this was my first time here. Going to a venue always gets me excited, and I enjoyed pro wrestling to the fullest today again. Now, October 25, Ryogoku, is eight days away. I want to defend the belt, I want to win, I want to get the crowd fired up. That is only natural. Those are goals I naturally have. But I wanted to do something extra on top of that, and that is why I brought up the word attendance. We still have eight days, so I will keep promoting in all kinds of places, and in front of a huge crowd I will have this GHC Heavyweight Championship match and defend the title. After that, you know what comes, right? A big chorus of ‘de Japón!’ All right, see you again tomorrow at Takaoka Techno Dome. Adios.”
