KENTA reclaimed the GHC Heavyweight Championship on July 20, defeating Kenoh with his signature Go 2 Sleep finisher to capture Pro Wrestling NOAH’s top prize for the second time in his career. The victory marks a dramatic end to what may be the shortest title reign in GHC Heavyweight Championship history, as Kenoh held the belt for just one day before losing it back to his predecessor.
Pro Wrestling NOAH superstar KENOH cemented his status as one of the greatest wrestlers the promotion has ever seen as he dethroned the seemingly unbeatable OZAWA to become a four time GHC Heavyweight Champion. This ties him with Takashi Suguira and Naomichi Marufuji for second on the all time list for most GHC Heavyweight Championship reigns. Go Shiozaki leads the field with a total of five reigns.
