Manabu Soya
Yoshioka's first big win came in January 2014 when he pinned Kaz Hayashi in a singles match in just over 6 minutes after a "Swanton bomb". On March 2, he and Manabu Soya defeated Ryoji Sai &amp; Kazma Sakamoto in Ryōgoku Kokugikan in an event co-promoted by partner company Total Nonstop Action (TNA). Later that month, Yoshioka won a battle royal to face Seiya Sanada for the TNA X-Division Championship. He would go on to unsuccessfully challenge for the title in a Korakuen Hall main event after Sanada pinned him following a "Rounding Body Press". Sanada said that he had 'changed so much in these two weeks'.
