History

Gleat was founded in 2020, after Lidet Entertainment sold all its shares of Pro Wrestling Noah to CyberAgent. Lidet's President Hiroyuki Suzuki, wanting to continue his involvement with professional wrestling, announced the formation of Gleat in August 2020, alongside Kiyoshi Tamura, Kaz Hayashi and Nosawa Rongai. The promotion features two brands: G Prowrestling, a traditional puroresu brand, and Lidet UWF, a shoot style brand inspired by UWF International.

In July 2022, Gleat announced the creation of the G-Infinity Championship for its G Prowrestling brand. A four-team tournament was held from August 20, 2022, to August 24 to crown the inaugural champions. The tournament was won by Bulk Orchestra (Kazma Sakamoto and Ryuichi Kawakami). After the match, Nobuhiro Shimatani and Hayato Tamura, who are also members of the Bulk Orchestra stable, announced their challenge to the title.{{cite web |script-title=ja:8月24日 【GLEAT】河上&KAZMAが初代G-INFINITY王者に 田村&島谷との同門対決V1戦が浮上 |url= http://dx-sp.gsj.bz/dxnews.Index/detail/?news_id=20220824007&organization_id=89&company_id=01&contents_id=2 |work=Professional Wrestling Martial Arts DX |date=August 24, 2022 |access-date=24 August 2022 |language=ja}}

When Hayato Tamura suffered from an injury incurred on October 9, 2022, #StrongHearts (Shigehiro Irie and T-Hawk) became interim champions.

On December 19, 2024, The Rascalz (Zachary Wentz and Trey Miguel) were forced to relinquish the title after Miguel sustained a broken finger, which prevented him from defending the title as scheduled.
