HAYATA suffered a torn ACL.

It was at Pro Wrestling NOAH’s Wrestle Odyssey II event that HAYATA defended the GHC200 Championship against Shuji Kondo.

As the bout was ongoing, Kondo knocked HAYATA off the ring apron, and he went back-first into the guardrail. HAYATA immediately grabbed at his left knee and could not make it back into the ring for the referee’s count.
