Team 2000X

Team 2000X is a villainous professional wrestling stable based in the Pro Wrestling Noah (Noah) promotion. It is currently led by Jack Morris and also consists of Ozawa, Daga, Tadasuke, Yoshi Tatsu, Owadasan, and Takashi Sugiura. The stable represents an homage to the Team 2000 faction formerly based in New Japan Pro Wrestling in the early 2000s.

History

Formation (2024–present)

At Destination 2024 on July 13, the Good Looking Guys (GLG) stable disbanded after their pre-scheduled dissolution match when former leader Jake Lee left Noah to join the Bullet Club War Dogs in New Japan Pro-Wrestling (NJPW). Jack Morris, who was a member of GLG, tried to confront Lee about his decision, but was attacked by Lee who turned heel in the process. Anthony Greene and LJ Cleary, who were also part of the stable, went their separate ways alongside Morris. At Sunny Voyage on September 30, Morris, Greene and Cleary faced each other in a three-way match. The match ended in a no contest after a masked man attacked the referee, shook Morris' hand and left the venue with him, as Morris stated that the masked man would reveal his identity on October 14. At Sunny Voyage on October 7, Jack Morris and Anthony Greene faced each other in a singles match that ended in a no contest after the same masked man attacked Greene. Daga came down and pretended to help Greene, only to join forces with Morris and the masked man. During the Star Navigation Premium: Akitoshi Saito Ridge Road Last Korakuen event on October 14, the masked man was revealed to be Yoshi Tatsu, and the stable was officially formed. At Deathtiny on November 17, Taishi Ozawa turned on All Rebellion by attacking his very own former trainer Kaito Kiyomiya after the latter's successful defense of the GHC Heavyweight Championship against Takashi Sugiura, demanding a title match that was later scheduled to take place at Noah The New Year 2025 on January 1. WWE signed wrestler Omos was announced as a member of the stable on December 27, during the New Year event press conference. At the event, Daga lost the GHC Junior Heavyweight Championship to Eita, Jack Morris and Omos defeated Naomichi Marufuji and Takashi Sugiura to win the GHC Tag Team Championship, and Ozawa defeated Kaito Kiyomiya to become the GHC Heavyweight Champion.

On January 2, 2025, Tetsuya Endo of DDT Pro-Wrestling began his one-year stint in Pro Wrestling Noah. On January 11, at Star Navigation Premium 2025, he defeated Manabu Soya to win the GHC National Championship, and then joined Team 2000X. On January 25, Omos announced that he was leaving Noah to return to WWE and relinquished his GHC Tag Team Championship to Daga. However, the title was vacated on January 27 due to Noah not recognizing the title change. Daga and Morris refused to relinquish the titles. On February 11, Endo lost the GHC National Championship back to Manabu Soya. On March 2 at Memorial Voyage in Yokohama, Ozawa defeated Manabu Soya in a Winner Takes All Lumberjack Deathmatch to win the GHC National Championship and retain the GHC Heavyweight Championship, when during the match, Tadasuke turned on the Passionate Ratel's to join Team 2000X.

Tetsuya Endo would turn face and desert Team 2000X on the first night of Noah Star Navigation 2025, stating that he could not "follow eam 2000X'sways anymore", and issued a challenge to Ozawa for his title. Ozawa accepted, but made the match a Survival Three-Way match and called out Takashi Sugiura. The match was then made official for night two. On night two of Star Navigation 2025, during the match, Sugiura turned heel and attacked Endo with a steel chair. Endo would still eliminate Sugiura with a roll-up pin. Ozawa would ultimately pin Endo and retain his title. After the match, Ozawa stated that he recruited Sugiura with the specific intention of getting rid of Endo and replacing him.
