As reported by PWMania.com, Harada was forced to retire due to a neck injury he suffered back in August 2022. Harada will participate in a 1 minute exhibition match against a man he is very familiar with Atsushi Kotoge. A medical doctor will be on hand to supervise Harada’s final match.
Pro Wrestling NOAH has indicated that the lead hashtag for the March 9th show is #StayAlive.
Kotoge will also participate in a tag team match as he will team with the current GHC Heavyweight Champion Kaito Kiyomiya as they face the tandem of Jake Lee & Anthony Greene. Kiyomiya will be defending the GHC Heavyweight title against Jake Lee on March 19th at Great Voyage 2023 in Yokohama. The build to that match begins with this tag team encounter.
