Summary

Pro Wrestling NOAH presented Legacy Rise on April 1 at Korakuen Hall in Tokyo, where an announced crowd of 1,012 watched Team 2000X's Alpha Wolf and Masa Kitamiya defeat GHC Heavyweight Champion Yoshiki Inamura and Kazuyuki Fujita in the main event.

After the match, Yoshitatsu said that if Alpha Wolf defeats Inamura for the GHC Heavyweight Title on April 12, the championship would be taken to WWE and fall under WWE control. He also said he had spoken with Paul "Triple H" Levesque, and the comments came on April Fools' Day.

Alpha Wolf and Yoshiki Inamura title stakes after Legacy Rise

Alpha Wolf now heads into the April 12 GHC Heavyweight Title match with extra attention on the bout, because Yoshitatsu's WWE talk shifted the focus from a standard title defense to a wider promotion-versus-promotion talking point.

Inamura still controls the championship going into that defense, so the key immediate consequence is that NOAH's title picture is now tied to whether Team 2000X can turn this post-match rhetoric into an actual title change.
