Rules
GHC 200 Championship matches are fought under special rules. A countout is called after a five-count outside the ring (instead of a twenty-count). In title matches that end in a draw, the champion retains the title. For the inaugural tournament, any draw, including a time limit draw, will result in both competitors being eliminated; if every wrestler in a bracket is eliminated this way, a rematch will be held at a later date. For the tournament final specifically, if the match reaches the time limit, the outcome will be determined through on-site discussion.[2][7]
Reigns
As of August 30, 2026, there has been one reign. The current and inaugural champion is Hayata. He won the title by defeating Tetsuya Endo at Legacy Rise: Night 4 in Tokyo, Japan, on August 10, 2026.
