NOAH’s Kenoh Makes Surprise Appearance on Friday’s NJPW World Tag League 2024 Event & Challenges KENTA for NOAH’s The New Year 2025

Friday’s World Tag League 2024 event for New Japan Pro Wrestling in Satsumasendai, Japan featured Pro Wrestling NOAH talent Kenoh making a surprise appearance.

Following Bullet Club’s (Chase Owens, KENTA, SANADA, & Gabe Kidd) victory over Alex Zayne, Ryusuke Taguchi, & Bishamon (YOSHI-HASHI & Hirooki Goto), Kenoh made a surprise appearance and came out to the ring.

Kenoh confronted KENTA in the ring and grabbed a microphone. Kenoh talked about how next year is the 25th anniversary of NOAH. Kenoh then issued a challenge to KENTA for a match at NOAH’s The New Year 2025 event. Kenta responded accepting the challenge.

Kenoh: Hey KENTA, no, no, the man I’ve been thinking of, KENTA. Next year, it’s the 25th Anniversary of your home in KENTA. If you have feelings for where you came from, you’d start the 25th Anniversary in the Budokan and face me one on one.

Kenoh: You countryfolk in Satsuma heard it right? January 1, you and me. While you’ve been away, I’ve gotten pretty damn tough. I’ll beat you up so bad you’ll leave in tears. I might have said you were simply country folk, but I apologise. And I apologise for bringing NOAH…
