Since being added to the list of championships within Pro Wrestling NOAH in 2019, there have only been several times that the GHC National Championship changed hands and at Pro Wrestling NOAH’s ‘Noah The Glory’ show, it changed hands for a fifth time.
Takashi Sugiura, the inaugural National Champion recaptured the title by defeating Kazuyuki Fujita who won the belt at ‘NOAH The Infinity’ in March.
