GHC Heavyweight Champion OZAWA puts his championship on the line this Sunday against Kaito Kiyomiya with a major stipulation attached.

Pro Wrestling NOAH’s return to Korakuen Hall will see a rematch from January 1, where OZAWA won the GHC heavyweight title. Former champion Kiyomiya challenges OZAWA for the title with the provision that if Kiyomiya loses, he leaves NOAH. However, OZAWA has stated that Kiyomiya will have to return to NOAH as a member of his Team 2000X group.

OZAWA, 22, debuted for NOAH in 2022 and embarked on a U.K. excursion throughout 2024. He returned to NOAH on January 1 and won the GHC heavyweight title from Kiyomiya. During his reign, he had defended the title against Galeno, Masa Kitamiya, and KENTA on May 3, which drew over 4,500 people.

The show included YO-HEY defending the GHC junior heavyweight title, and Daiki Inaba will return from injury after being sidelined since July 2024.

The Star Navigation event will stream live on Wrestle Universe at 10:30 p.m. ET on Saturday night with the following card:
