The GHC Jr Heavyweight Champion is getting his wish.
After defeating Ninja Mack at Majestic 2023 to retain the GHC Jr Heavyweight Title, HAYATA took the mic and indicated that he wants former champion Dante Leon to be his next challenger.
That match became official as Pro Wrestling NOAH announced that HAYATA will defend his GHC Jr Heavyweight Title against Dante Leon on June 17th at Green Journey 2023 in Nagoya at the Nagoya Congress Center Event Hall.
