“This is my first KO-D Openweight challenge. I definitely want to win the belt from Mr. Hino by doing the best main event that I can’t lose to.”, said Yukio Naya.
Yuji Hino responded by saying – “I won the belt and said it in the ring, DDT has big and strong players. Naya and HARASHIMA met for the right to challenge. I was shown at the venue, but I was asked to show me a match that was particular about strength. In a truly wonderful match, Naya won and will challenge for this belt. I’m going to show you a strong fight that no other person can do.”
Pro Wrestling legend Kenta Kobashi, who will be a special observer for the title match, indicated while he can’t predict a winner, the fans should expect a battle for the KO-D Openweight Championship on March 21 at Judgment 2023.
