OZAWA Reveals “CharisMAX” Music Video, Shane Haste Responds

By: Ian McCord

Ahead of his GHC Heavyweight Championship Match against Shane Haste on July 18th at NOAH’s SUMMER EPIC 2026, The Real Rebel took to social media to share a new music video about the champion titled “CharisMAX”.

OZAWA’s “CharisMAX” was posted to his X account on July 13th, with OZAWA saying in the post that he is already destined to defeat Haste for the title, and that the song tells the tale of a charismatic icon turning a “nobody wrestler” into a star.

From OZAWA via X:

“OZAWA — the man already destined to become champion at the 7/18 Osaka show. This is the story of how that charisma icon turns a nobody wrestler named Shane Haste into a star. Give it a listen. ‘CharisMAX’”

(Translation via Pro Wrestling NOAH)

Haste shared his thoughts on the Real Rebel’s new music video on his X account, claiming that if OZAWA spent more time training and in the gym, he would have a chance of defeating him come July 18th.

From Shane Haste via X:

“This is so cute! If only he spent some time training and working out in the gym too he might stand a chance.”

Haste and OZAWA have faced off three times in preview tag matches on the road to their championship showdown, with OZAWA and TEAM 2000X getting the better of Haste and his team on every occasion.

OZAWA has continued to be a thorn in the side of Haste since “challenging” for the championship back in June. OZAWA continues to mistranslate the champions words and social media posts any chance he gets, doing his very best to try and get a rise out of the champion.

The GHC Heavyweight Champion told Monthly Puroresu back in June that he wanted to “Ragdoll OZAWA” for his creation of a fan poll to see which match would be in the main event of SPRING MAYHEM RYOGOKU 2026. With OZAWA staying true to his troublemaker ways, it’s safe to say that sentiment still likely rings true.

Shane Haste will defend the GHC Heavyweight Championship at NOAH SUMMER EPIC 2026 at INTEX Osaka Hall 5 in Osaka on July 18th. The event will be streaming live on Wrestle UNIVERSE streaming service.
