These matches will serve as the build toward the May 21st AJPW World Tag Team Title match as the current AJPW Tag Team Champions Kenoh and Manabu Soya, who are part of the Pro Wrestling NOAH roster, will be defending the titles against AJPW stars Suwama and KONO at Pro Wrestling NOAH’s Sunny Voyage 2023 in Kobe event.
Suwama has been on a campaign to bring the titles back to AJPW. He has challenged Kenoh and Soya to put the AJPW Tag Team Titles on the line against him and KONO numerous times. Suwama appeared at the Pro Wrestling NOAH’s Star Navigation 2023 show back on April 29th and power bombed Kenoh which led to the upcoming matches.
