Yoshiki Inamura captured the GHC Heavyweight Championship at Pro Wrestling NOAH’s Star Navigation 2025 event on Saturday.
The show, held at Korakuen Hall, also saw NXT’s Hank Walker and Tank Ledger win the GHC Tag Team Championships.
Inamura defeated KENTA in the main event to win the promotion’s top title, finishing the former champion with his trademark top-rope splash. Following the match, Inamura invited Kaito Kiyomiya to be his first challenger.
That match was later confirmed for the Cross Over 2025 event on November 21.
Earlier in the card, Walker and Ledger won the GHC Tag Team Championships from Team 2000X members Masa Kitamiya and Takashi Sugiura.
The new tag champions were immediately confronted by Naomichi Marufuji and Kenoh, who challenged them to a future match for the belts.
NOAH published backstage comments from Walker and Ledger:
Hank: I’ll keep this short and straight to the point. No matter where we are, no matter who the opponent is, we’ll hype it up to the max.
Tank: That’s right, that’s right. We’ll make a big noise, build up the momentum, and hype it up.
The event also marked the start of the NOAH Jr. Grand Prix tournament. It was also noted that Tetsuya Endo was removed from the card due to illness.
