GHC Heavyweight Champion Kenoh On January 2 Challenger Manabu Soya: He Hasn’t Reached My Level Yet

By Lewis Carlan Last updated Nov 18, 2023

On January 2, 2024 Kenoh is scheduled to defend his Pro Wrestling NOAH GHC Heavyweight Title against Manabu Soya at NOAH THE NEW YEAR 2024 event at Ariake Arena.

Kenoh made a huge statement on November 17th at Pro Wrestling NOAH’s Sunny Voyage 2023 when he forced Manabu Soya to submit to his Kenoh Special submission move in a tag team match that served as a preliminary to January 2nd.

Following his victory, Kenoh had post match comments and suggested that Manabu Soya is not on his level yet:

HEY! Today is also a pre match for 2nd January at Ariake Arena, and today too, I won directly over Manabu Soya. HEY, SOYA! Only a limited number of people can create spectacular views. HEY! SOYA! I’ll say it again, You haven’t risen to that level yet. HEY, SOYA! Come up to my level quickly! And on the 2nd January at Ariake, I will show you a spectacular view, even if it’s just a little bit.
Kenoh
